COI C102
“Alright passengers, we are nearing to Isekai City. Please don’t mind the debris passing through here, this train is upgraded to the highest military grade. Ready to operate all battle systems near you. Oh?! Let’s say our gratitude to Dexter Guild to give us the best of their old-world technologies for breaking the siege”
The speaker shuts off as the passengers who are nervous to use for the first time to operate Horsin’s past military weapons. They look at the banner; colored in light green outlines and black in frames, three different logos put together, and the only banner with its highest quality is in LED lights.
The operator, who was calling the district leader, especially to Manager Kubo, is still not contacting back during the time of completion. He looks at one of the Dexter member leaders. Young as she looks like she was ordered to be here. The iconic archscientists’ uniform; wearing a white lab coat, oval eyeglasses that flex in enactment of expressions through their eyes, purple rubber gloves, black pants, and black boots. The archscientist said to him
“We have limited military personnel, as far as many of our mechanics or codices know how to operate the equipment. Someone will be taken aim through what obstacles we come across”
The operator never would have thought this is a guild that never would’ve expect to be ego-centric. He never once being glad to meet smart people in his home world, personally, and here is the worse as they have no humility but as resources. That explosion incident was their doing and even here as the plating is protecting any source of mana. His device can’t have signal inside the train because of that, however, he looks outside as it easily breaching through the roots and deforming levels on the train tracks. He can’t take it anymore as he goes to the driver’s cab.
He opens the door and sees the woman who was using the speaker recently, she wearing her undershirt as she already sweating to manual the controls. It was obvious that the train is fully built-in runes as this place is already mana negating, protecting itself from any magic except for runes. The man besides the door and away from her as he wore his power armor. She said to him
“. . . Only if that power armor has air conditioning, then I wouldn’t be undressing like this”
McS4 replies to her raying some lights where she controlling the levers “Are you sure you’re going to pull that lever? Those are meant for the back”
The operator stops her “What are you wearing?!”
“Sir! Well, I!”
The operator comes closer but the heat gets into him, as his mana already depleted as he walks in. He steps back “Why in the hell is hot in here?”
McS4 is looking at her, hidden his face with his helmet. He sighs “The same reason why she is here, I’m the one who supposed to drive”
She retaliates “No, I’m driving. I’ll be the one who will call out the shots once we get inside the city”
Those two is acting their own little games, as for the operator have to give them some space. The heat inside the driver’s cab is too much for him.
He walks back to the cargo where the archscientist is testing the speaker, the sounds of the speaker reach them including the sounds of an orchestra. The humming of voices through the speaker as it added from what this guild themed of. The music plays in the background as it is becoming more intense to the ears, as the train is breaking through and now heading close to the city. The music plays through the train. The codices and the mechanics are already building up the train’s preparation as the passengers or citizens are waiting for the announcement.
McS4 and with the woman hears the music and she asks him “Again with that orchestrated music in the background. Whenever will you guys get bored of it?”
“I don’t care about history, and I won’t be the right guy to be . . . considerate of my own guild”
“If it is just a theme music, I would like to recommend them some other alternatives . . .”
The woman wipes off the sweat from her head as the driver’s cab starts to cool. The mechanism of the train is transitioning into a battlement, a slight of cold air being flow through the vents as she felt relief.
“. . . Finally. Hey, what do you say I recommend a few or more?”
McS4 swayed his helmet to her direction, a silent tone or anything to the other on his head. Wearing a heavy armor in front of her as he shows immersion of danger or just plain awkward for her. Though he respects her opinions,
“Why not? Do you have samples? Well, I have plenty, listen to this”
She brought a playlist as both of them listen through as the train is transforming and transitioning, through the moving train as the first artillery fires to the air.
The empowering metal music sprung through the first bombardment, and McS4 listens it well. His mouth let loose and said to her “Only thing is missing now is the laughter”
“Laugh* Giggle* How about that?”
The woman plays along while McS4 turns on his radio to listen the real laughter. For his respects, he responds nicely “I’m engaged such nice dark humors”
She stands up and pull the levers with all her might “Yeah, I’m so glad I’ve be the one to do it”
The flash of light in the driver’s cab as she is pulling it for dear life. Sealed in a place with runes with her brawns, the levers are up and the train starts firing.
The first bombardment as the train moves without stopping, the sounds of the whistles burst in full steam where one of the shots shoot in the air where the clouds are raining through Mihayara district. It exploded as the cloud disperse, explosion with only a color of light bluish glow. More and more projectiles whistling away to the air and coming down to the ground. The survivors from the frontline hears the train is coming to their direction as it continues to push towards Taiyou Industries.
The citizens who are riding the train is setting up the weapons, the train pulls out the guns and heavy equipment as it stretches its body into a long heavy artillery with tank wheels supports at it open wider than the tracks in width. In front of them as the tracks sink down, the train breaks away from the tracks as the tank heavy wheels replaced it. Moving like a centipede with the rest of the cargo need to be delivered. The gunners look up as the massive tree is falling down. They instinctively aim with their napalm ammunition as they fired it multiple rounds.
The archscientist ordered the mechanics to stop those gunners “STOP! That’s not how to use napalm bombardments. AAH! Just use Jigerium”
The citizens were confused as they can’t understand much about Horsin military terms of weaponries. The operator meets with his workers and guides them “Use the standardized ammunition, if you still don’t get it, it’s the normal cylindrical missile that has armor piercing and not the hallow point ones”
The citizens are switching their ammunition as they saw Dexters are already ready to release the mobile vehicles.
The train is away from the tracks as the ground starts to quake. The woman looks at the screen as the radar shows seismic activities, she looks at the dots as more of them is coming from thin air. She goes get her coat and other necessary equipment as something is going to borrow out from the ground. McS4 sends contact to his squad from the far back, as they are preparing.
“Will the supply crates be able to be delivered?”
“That’s a negatory. The destined location is being overrun. The hybrid tree related to Kulhi, electrical plant, need to be burn down if we bring our energy vehicles there”
The train is being attacked, it almost getting tipped over as one of the gunners fired harpoons at the target and pulled it back up. The citizens outside of the city saw massive and large monsters they never saw before. The roots are corrupted with demonic energy as it summoning more monsters as it flies to the air. The rain of light bluish shines over those monsters as they easily died down into glass. The city barriers got hit with a powerful shock as everyone in the city center watched the bombardment with its powerful strikes destroying the monsters and didn’t break through the city barrier.
Altair and Gordon made it out from the light blue mist falling to the city, their conditions lead to full complete mana depletion as they feel the emptiness of their magic powers. Other adventurers and people experience the same thing, but the conditions of the setback of their overexertion never seem to set in. Complete no mana use and no neglections, they feel like they were once were as ordinary people. The dwarf cheers the falling bombardments of their reinforcements.
“Hahah! Finally, we can fend off those monstrosities”
The medical staff are studying the bombardments as they have no idea what that chemical mist affecting them. “Gather all data while diagnose these people, make it sure that they don’t have the mana recoil through their systems”
Gordon removes his armor as it gets to him by the weight of it. He lost most of his buffs and his stats can’t be identified to himself, only the feeling discomfort will let his body know he can’t endure what he naturally thought can carry. Altair on the other hand is next with the support, as he asks him what happened.
The support responds “The bombardment happened, and with that we drive out the wraiths. We did as much as we could to open a hole through your sewer systems. As the fight finally comes to our favor, you people can’t help much and just watch the celestial light waves from above”
Altair looks up and see something unnatural, explosion like fireworks shoot to the air as he can see the clouds are diverting away from it. Through the barrier that able to hold the light blue mist and the monsters froze into crystals. More and more of the men dragging more of his people in as they all fell unconscious.
Meanwhile, those people who are hiding on the pedestrian overpass bridge. The man continuously using his cameras to record what happened inside the light blue mist. The bombardment is all around, damaging only to the streets. The marksmanship of it passing through the buildings are remarkable, as if they have advance precision within their arsenals. The group he is with are starting to go exceed their exposure, monsters falling down into crystallized pieces as the part of the city is raining down hailstorm. All of the devices around him is being reinforced by it and at the same time weakening any biological signs within contact.
Their powers are waning as he tries to figure it out until his breath turns ill, his body starts to feel tired and the mana he had inside of him disappears. However, the setbacks of him staying up all night until to this day is not taken into effects. Believing he would be lie down with the other guys with him to their final resting place, but the cult leader’s telepathy reaches them with no worries. Such bold confidence as they hear him, both intrigued and annoyed at the same time. The loose thoughts from his head almost heard among them, and the men at the overpass bridge repeat it what he thought
“He didn’t tell the whole story. The idiot plans it without any repercussions”
Lastly, the stadium. Manager Kubo held her hands in a tight grip, squeezing the rails out and her gritted teeth hearing that the situation happened in her district is almost nearly being overrun. Either it was Advisor or the men she is work with, this matter put her heart high for the middle age woman. She couldn’t believe hearing the damage happened there. The foreman called
“We are able to hold off, but the factories are overrun and we are holding to the last available men. The failsafe is still functioning but all resources are depleted here. However, the threats coming from that tree you mention wasn’t able to take our back up power grids”
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Manager Kubo watches the map that the Taiyou Industries are being overrun almost all of their branch facilities. The remaining factories are able and protected are the ore, oil, agriculture, and wood (for the elves) factories. The basic goods and productions are gone and need of repairing, those are the primary demands of this city for them to keep it functioning. Those refining industries are in need for the upcoming supplies from Enders Bridge, but the final production stage is where it stored most of the supplies.
She turns to Advisor as he is having a talk with King, the city guild representative, and Bokushi Hidari, the cult leader in Fuku City. King said to him “You never mentioned about the train being armed. What’s going on here?”
Hidari stops him “That’s enough . . . King, that’s not we are after, those bombardments are the real problem. People who risk their lives to hold off the monsters are being rained down by dusts. They are not prepared to experience a powerful blow with their exposure reaching max”
The Advisor refute his worries “The failsafe is still active. They can retreat safely”
Hidari responds “You think keeping a secret among your people when we are dire need to defend our city. Why there is a need to keep secrets when the city is truly being overrun? Is the trust of those Horsin really that hated among the common residences?”
Old man Ban pulls out a blowing horn and breaks the fighting. “Ahem, keep that in mind . . . We have troubles on the outskirts. The train had shown as something dangerous beneath the ground. After the siege is over, let’s discuss this after clearing all those monsters”
Hidari uses his telepathy as he heard all of them sitting alongside with the crystallized monsters while they hid inside the buildings. Raining with dusts and shards of monsters’ remains, it is clear for him to understand that they are safe but there are bunch of people riled up in anger as they managed something to get a bit information about the talking wraiths. The shouts of rage from one of them as they managed to get a dent of a familiar people who had passed away.
“Sorry sir, the evidence is sealed and none of our devices capture the footage. Sigh* A ghost knows what happened to Mayor Nakamura”
People who are inside the stadium watch everything around them washed down with light blue dusty mist. As if the place they are now being quickly froze as it falls down, monsters are stiff into place, all living plantation and monsters turn into ice or more likely crystallize. Everyone is relief as they stop defending after those long hours of fighting. One of them walks out feeling the exposure up to 100, he walks back inside as he is ultimately fell down out his curiosity. They bring him in and watch his equipment strengthen while he himself fell unconscious leaving no reaction after that.
On the outskirts of the city, the train moves freely forward as everyone fires their weapons. The driver is hardly steered the damn thing with every muscle she felt and her mind distracted going through the clouds and the dusts mixing altogether. McS4 going up to the roof, installed his guns as he takes his aim. Flying monsters coming around diving down at them. He fires the drove with mix collection of ammunition, from heavy bolts to multi rounds bullets, they are facing the real horde as the ground continue to quake.
Shattering through the crystal valley as the train freely moved about, hardened monsters sprung up from the ground and herd around what left is moving through the dusts. The driver hears the transmission
“Bring the cargo to the station, no matter what, the order will be delivered as our priority”
The woman looks shock as they are getting hit with magic, she replies without using the transmission “Your boss is nuts”
She looks at McS4 as he is already arming himself on the train. Alone and the transmission keeps on loud and clear, “Repeat, bring the supplies to the station . . .”
A big sound of groan coming from her mouth as she opened up the comms system made by the Dexter’s guild. Basic controls but limited information showing on screen, she presses the button that has picture of a steering wheel. The exhaustion of pressured air released on her face as she coughs off from the heated air. The mechanical driving system opens up with empty slots in every part she barely understood. She focused on the steering wheel and slowly turning with her own strength. The train begins to turn to Taiyou Station as the trails of mechanical wheels moving closer and breaching through the frozen valley.
The gunners are spreading their attacks around them as the others keep moving inside the cargos, coaches, or containment units to switch the weapons as fast as possible. The music plays orchestrated the rhythm as the sounds of the choir raising higher matching the gunfire. The sounds of trombone, saxophone, or any strong loud wind instrument in the background as the fight is getting deep through the cloud. The gunners keep firing as the heavy machine guns open through the walls and fire through the clouds of mix dusty mist.
Ignorance to the force of recoils and the heat coming from the fired weapons, the gunners feel the tremendous recoil through their arms and sits as the vibrating guns fired through the partial frozen monsters. The codices and the mechanics speaking each other the names of the guns they can’t understand, but the words only they got out for these citizens were;
“Keep firing, hear your code name so that nothing will go wrong with your coordination”
The people at the back are ready to release the vehicles, with two citizen workers and two military personnel are ready to set loose. “R-cord, release the cargo and bring the supplies to the station. I don’t the driver to make it through with this long trails of machine still attached together”
R-cord taps the two random people from the other side of the cargo as they are deafening by the sounds of the gun fire. The two were shocked as they have to go.
R-cord calls out to the operator through the speakers. He used his monocle to see the conditions of the two chosen workers as he talks to him “Permission to bring two of your men for delivering the package”
The two workers look at each other as mechanics and the codices look at them as they are going to do it. No complaints as they brought the ammunition over and tools that might aim at their heads. Thanks to the train plated and sheltered with mana negation, those two can’t argue nor fight back. The operator replied to R-cord as agreed.
“Affirmative, we will provide them proper equipment when step out from the train. Only according to your orders”
The two workers put a sigh in relief, then the train begins to lean to the other way as it rams through the roots. The roots sprung up bit fall apart quickly once exposed by the light bluish mist. The monsters are attacking the windows as the giant monsters climb with its protective furs against the dusts. Part of the train begins to tear, leaving the workers vulnerable without their magic. A horde of them charging from the groun as they hide and jump as it passes through. The operator calls out to R-cord
“Change of plan, rescue the gunners. They got caught and thrown out from the train. Bring them back here as we continue moving on”
The archscientist heard the operator ordered her men. “The entire light vehicle force?”
“No, a rescue team. Don’t you care about them?”
“But why with our scarce military personnel?”
“I heard about them, rumors about the guy with power armors and performance to do taskforce is something I could use right about now”
She runs pass him as she replied to him with low trust “If that’s what you’re aiming for, then let me have one of them to deliver the supplies. Your industrial plants really need to use it before it gets corroded from that demonic cloud”
R-cord and the rest of the military personnel hear the call. Only three of them at the back as for McS4 remained defending from the front. R-cord said to his sergeant “X2L, Sir, mission to deliver persists. We need one of us to go there and send the resources to the station”
X2L powered up his power armor, the energy weapons on his arms shining phase blades. He pointing to the soldier already suiting up. “Temporary name; Repair boy, bring the McRP5 as your suit and permitted it to no restrict. You will be handling alone”
The two of them walks out from the cargo with the workers watching them go.
X2L grabs both reinforced rod that held the train’s railway coupling. With his powered armor enforced with telekinetic energy on it as he slowly energized in magnetic suspension, the rods suddenly removed and the connectors separate. The Repair Boy completely equip his power armor and picks some tanks of energy batteries hidden beneath the train. Forced activation as the separate cargo train transform its wheels into electromagnetic hover, it levitates into the air as he polarizes the energy in a trajectory to the station. Blocked by the falling tree burning through the skies, he polarizes everything it had into a drill.
The two workers saw the train shoots in hyper speed to the air. R-cord grabs them as they are place into their seats. “This is not for show, get into your seats as we are taking this part of the cargo”
X2L calls out to the archscientist “The back reserves are commencing to go for the new mission. Reinforced this part of the train as more of its parts will be taken from us”
The archscientist responds “Affirmative, ordered action rescue dogs (4-LLTMG2) noted. All available mechanics to rebuild”
The cargo begins to transform and the left side of its parts immediately released. The two workers were in shocked as they were pushed out from the train in pieces.
R-cord and X2L using their power armor to control the mechanism of the train as it is being transform into a light vehicle, with parts with twin machine gun attaching to it. X2L uses both his arms to make a steering wheel. R-cord pulled out his special rifles as multiple versions of ammunitions are piling up in his modified rifle chambers. The workers where place to the back as the twin machine guns detached and place in opposite fronts. One above from the driver and the other at the back of supposed to be the trunk. Where both sides will be the carrier for the people to get in.
The workers can’t believe what they see as it transforms in mid fight, they hurry to wear their gas mask as they are in the mist of both clouds and dusts altogether. Their lens able to see through the dense fog as they look at the flying cargo one more time, as if it is riding as it stops in the air. The lighting sparks happening in the cargo with static polarization formed a sphere around it, then proceeds to dive down through the burning tree. Explosions and scattering as it will be the lasts they see as it landed to the industries.
The train’s driver cab is under attack. A beast monster scratching through the windows and punched it, forcing the woman back. The shakes coming from McS4 as he looks down as fire being spread inside. The archscientist and the operator see the flames coming to their cargo as they back away. Some codices from the back are bringing their extinguishers and to stop the fire. The roar pushes them back as they pulled out their special guns and break the soundwaves. More monsters are coming to the other parts of the train as they continue to defend it.
The archscientist proceed to go to the driver as the flames cleared. McS4 sees the woman burning through the flames and some bruises from the monster already beaten. He brings out his blower and switches the capsules, wipe off the burns then heal her. The woman gritted her teeth form the pain as the runes sealed her powers. Impressively, she is fine as she sits up after being healed
“AH!”
The archscientist entered the room as she saw the driver naked and washed down with the healing ointment. She takes off her lab coat and ordered McS4.
“Take the controls, this woman needs to be . . . dignified”
The woman received her lab coat as she looks all over her body as she feels being washed and her skin feel smooth like she was finished showering. She stands up covering only the top as she tries to hide the embarrassment. McS4 ignored her and proceed to take the wheel. The archscientist and with her white shirt said to her
“You have your fun, and I’ll loathe to bring him here for you”
“Ugh, sorry”
“It doesn’t matter, get behind the curtains. I don’t want you distract us with your supposed dying state”
The archscientist pulled out something from her pockets, a keycard. “Soldier, set all controls to high-powered energy alternates. Switch everything that is needed for energy consumption from the fuel sources”
Her key card begins to emit static electricity. The room starts coiling around with electricity in a color of light blue. McS4 uses the card as the magnetism and polarization of the energy transcends. He places the card the wrong way and tries to find the right until it inserts into the controls. The orchestra playing in the background starts play a different music.
The woman only worn a lab coat feel her loose cloth that were not yet buttoned begins to afloat, her short hair begins to fly and attracts to the static electricity, and something is going on. An evil laugh coming from archscientist as she takes peak at them. McS4 climbs up to the roof as the train begins to fly.
“Haha!”
The archscientist look around the controls as energy panels pop up left and right. The train’s hidden power cell beneath begins to overcharging the train.
Everyone inside feel the vibration has stop, and look at the window as the monsters they taken down were pushed away . . . falling. The operator hears one of the workers
“We’re flying?! Where fucking flying”
He looks outside through the door through the open gaps. The operator is in sideways as he immediately going back inside.
“What in the world are we riding?”
The train flies through the air like a dragon where McS4 is now piloting the flying train.
From the stadium, everyone witnesses the flying train only through a special screen. Manager Kubo let her jaws drop including with old man Ban, the advisor looks at the impressive machine going through the outskirts. It revolves around a light where it forms an atomic formation. Polarized balls popping out from the train as if it is scientific atoms being formed in molecules. Everybody in the city sees the atomic polarization as it gathers both the cloud and the light blue mist. It starts to form a blackhole as it collects the mana around it.
The operator managed to get inside the driver’s cab, where his worker wears the archscientist’s lab coat and sheets covering her lower half. He said to her
“What’s going on here?”
“I don’t know, it feels like we are in an opera or something”
The archscientist continues her evil laugh with the background music of choirs singing in such a high note, then a deep voice appeared comes as she waves her hand like she is the instructor. She called out to the codices and mechanics
“Drop the bomb!”
Her subordinates activate in each cargo as the workers feels like they are falling. The train begins to fall as the atomic blackhole and the polarizing orbs, the cloud and the dusts, are dropped to the ground. A massive explosion erupts as everything where the monsters overrun exposed the fusion of both dangerous magic. Jigeram’s light and the demonic magic mingled together as life around the city dispersed. People who are exposed by it fell to the ground as the exposure are max before the demonic magic consumed them.
The train crashes down but lands safely as it tries to go back to the track rails. Archscience, in its advanced use of technology. The lost world’s powerful gem, and the weapon of flaws as it uses only with runes and the Jigeram’s light. Only one mana used, and the four stages are not fully used yet. The evil laugh of the archscientist heard through the speakers to all. The codices and the mechanics cheers and shut the speaker off. One of the codices says it in relief
“For the sakes of her glorifying madness, sealed that mad woman’s mouth. We need to fix this blasted machine”
The brown red cloud is gone and ruins found through the Mihayara district and Taiyou Industries. The people who witness their failed defense against the horde warned by the elves, but now they saw the Enders finest weapons to bring their enemies to nothing. They shook their head both awe and fear as many more from South Shore Bay are curious what happened. In the end though, they are safe as people rejoiced. The screen opens up and show what happened outside of the city.
The outskirt of the city is filled with nothing but a crater. Roots and underground routes left behind from those monsters. The siege is finally over, from the outside border of the city. Where there are people coming out from the caves, the stadium received messages from the King’s scouts
“Sir! We have secured help. We found more monsters coming here with different variations, however, Enders and the elves worked together to stop the multiple magic portals. Also, they request an audience”
