London

3rd person POV

After their discovery, Kyuushou, Rita, Durandal, Stan and Otto return once more to London, to the hotel they are using as base of operations.

Multiple holograms appear in front of them, and Otto starts to explain his idead.

Otto: We may have failed to capture Lady Jackal who seems to be the enemy's learder. However this Jackal gave us valuable intel that we can use. From her words, we can surmise that the second Divine Key is hidden in some spacetime pocket.

Kyuushou: I see, makes sense, it was created using the core of the void.

Otto nods, agreeing with Kyuushou.

Otto: Corrects, and this pocket basically isolated its contents against many forms of detection measures, and that's the reason why we couldn't locate the key all this time.

Otto: I have dispatched specialist mechs with advanced scanners to these locations. These Mechs will cover the locations in special scanning arrays. EM emissions from any unit will be picked up by another unit on an opposing side.

Kyuushou: Didn't Overseer said that past attempts in using scanners to locate the key were unsuccessful? - But then Kyuushou gets the idea -  Unless.....!

Otto: Seems that you've got the Idea Valkyrie Houraiji Kyuushou. Any hidden spacetime pocket in the area will accelerate EM waves traveling through it. We'll simply measure the time it takes to receive an emission. 

Kyuushou: And if we find an anomalous result, it will indicate the presence of a pocket and locate the Divine Key for us.

Durandal: Arrays of Mechs with Hi-tech scanners? Isn't that a little too obvious? That Jackal will notice and she'll probably try to stop us again.

Kyuushou notices something on the sky near them.

Kyuushou: Durandal!

Kyuushou: Can we open it by force?

Kyuushou: Can we open it by force?

Durandal: I don't think that's a good idea, the excessive use of force could bring the possibility to damage the Key.

Kyuushou: Understood.

Otto: I knew it wouldn't be easy, but i have a solution for that. - he gives a command to other mechs near the place Kyuushou and Durandal are - Charge and fire Honkai beam emitters at that geometry. Focus all beams at a single point. We'll breach the barrier.

All the weapons were pointed to a single part of the cube.

As the Divine Key is discovered, at the distance, Jackal is a bit pissed off.

Jackal: Dammit. I didn't expect Schicksal to shatter the Key container so easily. - she smiles - But there's still one failsafe on the Divine Key itself.
