Guyver Armor: KAP-2

"Mr. Kamino, we have replaced all the surveillance camera footage here with preset images, so you don't need to worry about being discovered."

Hayami Toshiaki's voice came through the communicator: "We hacked into the middle-level monitoring host in advance. What the upper command room is seeing now is a loop of footage from half an hour ago."

Upon hearing this, Tsubasa Kamino nodded slightly and turned to check the exploration backpack: "The communication function of the exploration backpack is intact, and the internal refrigeration container is also working properly. We are ready to continue advancing upwards."

"But..." Hayami Toshiaki's tone suddenly turned serious:

"The upper levels have extremely high security, with a dedicated, independent monitoring room that is completely separate from the lower and middle levels. From here on out, you'll have to navigate the rest of the way on your own."

"Mr. Kamino, and Akira, please be careful. According to intelligence, there's one last line of defense outside the upper vault."

"clear."

Tsubasa Kamino nodded toward the communicator camera, then turned to look at KAP-1: "Let's go, Akira, let's finish this quickly."

"Okay, Professor Kanno."

Without further delay, the teacher and student jumped into another ventilation shaft, activated the gravity control system, and flew rapidly towards the upper level in the same manner.

The second giant metal gate they encountered along the way was quickly cut open into a huge passage in just a few dozen seconds thanks to the increasingly tacit cooperation between the two.

Tsubasa Kamino and Akira Fukamachi quietly emerged from the hole and landed steadily in a silent corridor.

We've arrived at the upper level.

The metal walls here were wiped spotless, gleaming with a cold silver light, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, exuding a chilling sense of vigilance.

"It's just ahead." Kamino Tsubasa quickly checked the surroundings, then pointed to the heavy alloy door at the end of the corridor.

The biometric lock on the door was flashing a striking green light. "This is the entrance to the vault; things won't be so easy from here on out."

Before the words were finished, with a few soft "sizzling" sounds, the hidden doors on both sides of the corridor suddenly popped open, and several dark figures darted out instantly. Then, more beastmen emerged from behind the hidden doors.

It was the two elite squads guarding the vault that completely blocked their path.

The two Breniers stood like mobile fortresses, their thick, bluish-gray carapaces covered in barbs, their massive bodies firmly blocking the corridor ahead.

Then, four burly Gagirs spread out in a fan shape, their strong bodies with bulging muscles beneath their dark brown scales.

Behind the group, four Vimoas crouched on the ground, their bio-thermal ray cannons on their shoulders extended, aiming at the two people, with pale yellow energy orbs gathering at the muzzle.

"Intruders detected! Eliminate them!"

One of the Gagirs couldn't hold back any longer and let out a deep roar. Its body rushed forward like a cannonball, and its fist, as big as a casserole dish, smashed towards Kamino Tsubasa's face with a whistling wind.

"We can't fire the chest particle cannon directly from this position... otherwise it will destroy the vaccines in the vault behind the door as well."

Kamino Tsubasa's eyes narrowed. Without dodging, the orange light blade on his elbow instantly unfolded and slashed out fiercely to meet the fist.

With a crisp "whoosh," Gagir's fist collided head-on with the high-frequency vibrating light blade and was actually sliced ​​in half!

Using the momentum of its thrust, the high-frequency blade advanced forward, cleaving Gaggiel's thick arm in two.

Then, Tsubasa Kamino grabbed the screaming Gagill and used his massive body as a shield.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Several high-temperature laser beams shot out and instantly hit Gagir's back. The beastman let out an even more violent scream. The scales on his back were scorched black. He staggered and fell into a pool of blood, clutching his broken right arm, completely losing his fighting ability.

"Damn it! Brenell, charge!" A command came from the rear of the column, and two heavily armored beastmen suddenly lowered their bodies.

With muscle strength 17 times that of a human, plus their enormous weight, they generated a terrifying sprinting force, like two out-of-control heavy trains, crashing straight into Tsubasa Kamino and Akira Fukamachi.

"Jing, you deal with the one on the right!" Kamino Tsubasa shouted, his azure figure leaping up instantly. The orange light blade at his elbow suddenly swelled, accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, and slashed fiercely at the gap in the left side of Brener's carapace.

"Swoosh!" The massive blade sliced ​​into the carapace without any resistance, flashing past in an instant.

Brenier's shoulder was instantly split open from the waist, a clean cut appearing, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.

It roared in pain, its huge claws trying to retaliate, but Kamino Tsubasa flipped it over and landed on the ground, then precisely severed its head with a backhand slash.

The massive body, now without its head for support, crashed heavily to the ground, causing the corridor to tremble.

At the same time, Fukamachi Akira also dodged to the right to avoid Brener's frontal charge.

The blade of the KEP-1 slashed in an arc, aimed at Brener's right leg joint, and pierced precisely, using the momentum of the charge to flick it out.

With a sharp crack, Brenell's right leg joint was violently broken, and his massive body instantly lost its balance, crashing headfirst into the corridor wall.

Just then, the Vimoas behind them finally finished charging and launched another attack in unison: "Biothermal Ray Cannon, fire!"

Eight pale yellow, high-temperature laser beams shot towards the two from different angles with a sharp whistling sound, scorching and distorting the air wherever the light passed.

Upon seeing this, Kamino Tsubasa immediately sheathed his light blade, clenched his fists together in front of his chest, and the energy generator on the back of his hands suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, instantly unfolding a hemispherical energy shield in front of him.

This is one of the new abilities of the newly reborn Cap 2: hand energy shield!

Developed based on data from the "energy shield" of the invaders in the remnant spaceship, it uses a miniature energy generator on the back of the hand as the core node and can independently deploy a hemispherical energy shield with a maximum diameter of 50 centimeters per hand.

When the fists collide and synchronize their frequencies, the palm generators create a resonant energy field that expands the shield's range to a hemispherical energy barrier with a diameter of 2 meters.

It is enough to protect himself and his companions, which is exactly the ability that Tsubasa Kamino is currently using.

"Bang!" Several heat beams struck the energy shield in succession, unleashing a violent energy shock and causing dazzling sparks to explode on the shield's surface.

But the seemingly thin energy shield only caused a ripple before remaining firmly in place, blocking all attacks.

"Jing, take care of them now!"

Tsubasa Kamino's voice was transmitted directly into Akira Fukamachi's mind through telepathy, and the eye sensor of the KEP-1 instantly lit up with a blinding blue light.
