Mere minutes after Irudex gave his latest threat, the base's electricity flickered off and on once again. However, something was different this time. There were black and white patterns flickering all over the screens. Takeru tapped his keyboard fervently to no avail. "Chiaki, how are you on your end?" His computer sparked, making him jump back and dust himself off to avoid a fire starting.
Chiaki was doing the same thing, trying to open up communication channels. Her computer sparked as well with Chiaki covering her own face and yelping. She stayed at her desk, shocked at what just happened. The technology of Xio was great, so it shouldn't have shortages or power failures like this.
Tachibana looked around. "I'm heading outside to see what happened to our Musketty units. You two, hold the fort down here while I do so. Stay away from the computers just in case." She took out her Xio Blaster and began heading to the exit of the base, intent on checking on the safety of the rest of her team.

Daichi heard Rui screaming in the lab as the base shook. Mamoru's yell was also heard. "X, how long until we can unite again?" Instead of a response, he got silence. "X? Hello?" He looked down at the Devizer and gasped, the visage of X being replaced.
And what it was replaced with was the face of the Dada... only this time, it was a little different. "DADA!" The virus was affecting the entire base, and was even affecting X. The Dada grew from out of the X Devizer, aiming their arms at Daichi. "DADA!" They shouted their distinctive cry again, firing a wave of strange black and white electricity.
Daichi ducked out of the way and rolled, firing his personal Xio Blaster at the walking virus. "RUI! MAMORU! GET OUT OF HERE! WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS DADA VARIANT IS CAPABLE OF!" He looked down at X briefly, and began running away.
Rui and Mamoru began scrambling out of the lab and headed towards the hangar. Mamoru panted, preparing his own Blaster and Ultlaser unit. "Rui, we have to get out of the base. It isn't safe for us."
"But Daichi's in trouble! We have to stay and help!" Rui noticed a familiar hand reaching down and pulling her back with Mamoru. "Doc?"
Gourman had returned, beginning to escort the two out of the base. "Go, go! I have things to take care of here!" He watched the two look in disbelief, but he pointed at the exit. "I'll be okay! I survived Greeza's thunder, just go!" He looked at his personal computer, seeing the Dada infection being fought off... he took a mental note of that and proceeded to try finding Daichi. "I guess even Ultraman needs help sometimes. Alright!"
---------------------------------------
Asuna's Ultraman Victory Cyber Card ejected itself from her Devizer and vanished, replaced with the creepy image of Dada. Asuna screamed and jumped out of the Land Musketty, then realizing she took her Devizer with her. She watched as the base was assaulted by their own vehicles, the shields beginning to fail. "Oh no... Daichi, X!"
Rui and Mamoru both ran outside, huffing from how fast they both ran. Rui regrouped with Asuna. "D-Daichi and the doc are in big big trouble!"
"What can we even do now?" Asuna took Rui's arm and began running further from the base, Mamoru following close behind. "I trust in Daichi. I'm sure the doc has a good reason for going back to help Daichi!" She steeled herself and continued running, away from her husband, and the defender of this earth. As soon as she ran far enough, her Devizer seemed to go back to normal. "Okay... they can't spread very far. But..."
