"What did you do to her?" (Y/n) asked in a rather calm manner, but his tone gave away the rage he's feeling, giving Watanabe chills to his very core. "Answer me."

"L-Let... let me... explain..." Watanabe voiced out, feeling the hand starting to crush his voice module.

Although hesitant, (Y/n) pulls his hand away and lets Watanabe stand up. "Thirty seconds."

Watanabe coughs while massaging his throat. He then takes a glance at (Y/n), who still has his Desert Eagle pointed directly at him, while also feeling his glare through the yellow visor on his helmet. Just how much do Liv mean to him? He asked himself. If the Gray Raven's Commandant didn't hold back, he would've already killed all of them in retaliation.

"Twenty seconds." (Y/n) warned. "Hurry up."

"She..." Watanabe voiced out, his voice already raspy. "She connected herself to the central consciousness container and rescued all the consciousness of my people inside it."

(Y/n)'s grip on the pistol tightened even more. "You forced her, didn't you?!"

"I didn't! I swear!" Watanabe immediately denies the accusation in hopes of convincing the man. Even though he was telling the truth, he could see that (Y/n) didn't believe his claim. But after the thing he pulled off, can he really blame him? "She managed to save my people, but she herself... couldn't escape. We tried, but with our technology, we couldn't connect to her M.I.N.D. to save her."

Lee huffed in disappointment. "If you simply told us what you need, then it wouldn't come to this."

"Bastards." (Y/n) placed himself in front of Liv, his weapon still pointed at Watanabe. "Lucia, Lee, get in there and save Liv. Kamui, don't let anyone escape or interrupt until we're done."

"Roger that." The three Constructs responded in unison.

"Kamui, if anyone tries to do something funny, you know the drill." (Y/n) warned as Lucia and Lee went behind their commander and prepares to establish a connection with Liv's M.I.N.D.

Kamui signaled with an a-okay gesture. "Crystal."

"We're ready, Commandant." Lucia said.

"Understood." He replied. (Y/n) holsters his secondary and went for his rifle, watching the Forsakens within the proximity. "I'm counting on you two."
