Yasuhisa Mansion, Commission of Counter Ghoul Team"One last thing that I must inform you all about. This operation must be a 100% success. CCG lost too much during the 11th Ward Battle and also with the raid on the Cochlea Prison. Now we are under very heavy pressure, from public and government. We need to show some positive results so our situation would ease up."
Explained Kuroiwa to the rest of his team as they walked through the corridors of the Yasuhisa Mansion searching for something. They didn"t know that this was an underground lab in reality.
Nowadays the CCG was in a very bad situation. Mainly thanks to the Lucien and Tsukiyama Family. After Lucien finished the deal with Tsukiyama Mirumo and informed him about the poor state of the CCG, the man took action and whole Tsukiyama Conglomerate started pressuring the CCG through their own connects with government and the Prime Minister who was a personal acquaintance of the Tsukiyama Mirumo.
This action led to the lowering funds for the Commission of Counter Ghoul by a significant amount. Also, it lowered a number of the recruits that were recruited monthly, but still it didn"t do critical damage to the Washuu Clan. They were indeed worthy of their history being clan that existed for centuries.
All members of the team nodded their heads and continued the search of the Yasuhisa Mansion. Sadly, at least for them, they only found the entrance to the elevator a good while later. It was hidden very well, so it was rather hard to find if you were only an ordinary human.
"Prepare your quinques. n.o.body knows what is hidden down there."
All members of the team, including Kuroiwa himself, took out their quinques and readied themselves for the battle that would be coming. After a short preparation, they entered the elevator, which took them deep under the ground, where the laboratory was located and where everything would take place.
=============================================
Meanwhile, Lucien and Zelilios were also searching for something notable and as they were searching for their targets they were also placing explosives everywhere, literary everywhere, to blow this lab up to the air.
How one great man said, "Art is an explosion!", and it was certainly the truth. That beauty if something exploded and created a huge baaang and fire, was really something.
"Your Highness, how long would be here in this world?"
Asked Zelilios in a quiet voice as they walked through one corridor side by side.
"Two years, probably. You know, that this world is important from one point only. We need to build as a big army and fleet as we can because the second we arrive in the G.o.d-Devil Plane we would fight and don"t have time to build up either soldiers or fleet. Worlds there are far more powerful than here so we would need to conquer one and use their resources. It was already decided that the native population would be either used for hard work or killed and refined to the blood essences. Out there, is the much faster and greater world, where is only one rule. Survival of the fittest, you kill or are killed."
Explained Lucien, even he himself wanted to leave this world already but they needed to construct as many of Magitek Infantry Soldiers, Airships and Dreadnoughts as they can. Once they arrive at the G.o.d-Devil Plane there would be fights and they needed to be prepared.
"The real problem is that we don"t really know where we would appear when exiting the Time-s.p.a.ce Vortex that would open. The ideal would be if we are near some planet that is very weak and has some resources to build up our army, then we could start conquering everything else we see. The good thing about the G.o.d-Devil Plane is in the fact there are countless sources of energy. Like cores of Magical Beast or mutated beasts, nuclei and so on. So, we could construct countless Magitek Energy Crystals and upgrade our technology. Now we are using only the most basic version of everything, be it Magitek Infantry or our s.p.a.ceships. Now, because of the low amount of the Magitek Energy Crystals we could build only the Basic Version of the Magitek Infantry Soldiers with the combat power equivalent to the Mid-Grade Baron, which is rather weak. Weakest Magitek Infantry Solider has combat power equivalent to the Mid-Grade Viscount, but alas the lack of the Energy Crystals forced us to make these basic versions."
Currently, they were constructing only basic version, which means, they have smaller Energy Crystals and thus they are many times weaker. Also, one of the reasons is the lack of magical metals that could properly handle the large energy outputs of the Magitek Energy Crystals.
After walking for another ten minutes, Lucien and Zelilios finally arrived at the main lab, where Kano should be, probably at least. Both of them readied themselves and prepared to the fight. After they entered the room, there were already people waiting for them. Apparently relaxed, grey-haired Kano Akihiro, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a fan.
Beside him were two of his loyal subjects/experiments, identical twin sisters Yasuhisas. Both of them were artificial one-yed ghouls. Yasuhisa Kurona and Ysuhisa Nashiro. Both of them were standing behind him and guarding him, meanwhile, Kano had relaxed expression and was thinking probably about something else than the situation he was in.
Yasuhisa Kurona"s kakugan was in her left eye with a small dark mark beneath it. Her usual outfit was a long black cloak with a hood. On top of the hood were two white circles resembling an eye. Her ghoul mask was a simple black and white vertical-striped mask with a hole in the left eye.
Yasuhisa Nashiro"s kakugan was in her right eye with a small dark mark beneath it. Nashiro had white medium-length hair with bluntly chopped bangs. Her predominant outfit was a long white cloak with one sleeve on the right arm with a symbol similar to an eye on the hood. Her ghoul mask was a simple black and white horizontal-striped mask with a hole in the right eye.
