Guyver Armor: KAP-2

"Ugh—"

Seeing Cape No. 1 in pain but not resisting at all, Upton became even angrier.

He subconsciously took two more punches with a "bang, bang":

"These guys were all ruined by that bastard Bakas, so what are you idiot complaining about?!"

"Aren't you Kapp? If you have the ability, then go and avenge them for the Kronos organization, just like I did!"

Since fate has bestowed upon you this immense power, then make good use of it!

Upton's roar sent pebbles tumbling down the corridor, followed by a resounding thud as he delivered another punch.

"Instead of standing here like a spineless coward, helplessly howling!"

"That's right, Crystal, Upton is right."

This tragedy is not your fault; it's the work of the Kronos organization and guys like Hamil Bakas.

Seeing Fukamachi Akira's wavering emotions, Kamino Tsubasa also spoke slowly from the side, his tone steady and powerful:

"Think of your father, and Mizuki, Tetsuro, and the others. There's no time left to be weak like this. Think about where you should use your strength..."

"You need to learn to mature, Akira!" Tsubasa Kanno's voice was like a reassuring pill, striking Akira Fukamachi's heart.

"Dad, Mizuki, and everyone! ...Yes, they are still waiting for us to come back."

Director Odagiri and Mr. Hayami are also still waiting for this life-saving vaccine.

Akira Fukamachi's eyes gradually hardened from initial confusion and pain, and the fluctuations of the green bio-armor around her subsided and returned to stability.

He took a deep breath and looked at the two of them solemnly:

"I understand, thank you, Professor Jinno and Mr. Upton. Oh, and please put me down first!"

"Tch, I don't need any thanks."

Upton snorted and abruptly withdrew the thin black whip wrapped around him.

He turned away from Fukamachi Akira, the tip of his black tail swaying slightly behind him unconsciously.

"Get out of here quickly. Seeing someone like you makes me angry. I don't want to see you crying and whining anymore. You're a disgrace to Kep."

Akira Fukamachi ignored his awkward tone, took the backpack that Tsubasa Kanno handed her tightly, and nodded earnestly:

"Then I'll head back with the vaccine. Professor Jinno, and Mr. Upton, please be careful!"

After saying goodbye, he leaped into the ventilation duct on the ground in the distance and headed towards the bottom of the base.

The metallic scraping sound of the ventilation ducts gradually faded away, and the corridor returned to silence.

Tsubasa Kamino turned to look at Upton beside him:

"Let's go then, Upton! Come with me to the top-floor monitoring room, rescue Xiao Kui, and meet this Dr. Barcas!"

"Hey, blue one... no, Kamino, don't even think about ordering me around!"

Upton immediately retorted, his neck stiff, but his steps followed faithfully behind the KAP-2, its black armor gleaming coldly in the dim light.

"I never agreed to go with you... I just happen to have a score to settle with that guy, Bakas!"

"Alright, let's settle the score with Bakas together. Let's get going."

Kamino Tsubasa chuckled lightly, no longer bothering to expose him, and strode quickly toward the passage leading to the top floor.

Upton followed closely behind, their footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as they rushed toward the top floor of the base where Hamil Bakas was located.

To their surprise, they encountered few obstacles on their way to the top floor.

The central elevator corridor, which was originally expected to be heavily guarded and heavily fortified, only had a few scattered patrol teams of Kronos.

Moreover, they were all common Zoanoid soldier models like Ramoch and Rajel; even Kureg hadn't encountered many, let alone elite soldiers like Brenell.

Faced with two killing gods, these poor beast soldiers didn't even have time to react, or some hadn't even completed their transformation, before they were instantly killed by Upton's black electric tail whip or the head beam of Kapp 2. The whole process didn't take much effort from the two of them.

"Strange, didn't that old fellow Bakas expect us to come?"

Upton flicked the barbs on its tail tip, its yellow compound eyes scanning the tightly closed hatches on either side of the top-floor corridor, its tone tinged with hesitation.

Kamino Tsubasa was also somewhat puzzled, his brows furrowed: "Indeed, given this guy's cunning and shrewdness, the fact that we were able to get here so easily is rather unsettling."

He walked on high alert to the door of the top-floor monitoring room, punched open the heavy metal door, but no ambush appeared as expected.

The loud crash of the door hinge breaking echoed through the silent corridor, but the sight behind the door left both of them stunned—

The monitoring room was empty except for three operators who were trembling with fear and huddled behind the control panel.

Hamil Bakas, who was expected to be stationed here, and Tsukishima Aoi, who was imprisoned, were nowhere to be seen.

"Where did that old bastard Hamil Bakas and that little girl go?!"

Upton flashed forward, his black tail whip instantly wrapping around the upper body of an operator, lifting him into the air. His yellow compound eyes gleamed with ferocity, and his tone was full of killing intent.

"I...I don't know..." the operator stammered, trembling with fear.

"Just ten minutes ago... Dr. Bakas's expression suddenly changed drastically. He said he sensed something was wrong and hurriedly took the girl away from the ruins base... flying off to the west!"

That's it... I've told you everything I know! Please, don't... don't kill me!

"West of the ruins site?"

Kanna Tsubasa's heart sank. He strode to the control panel, grabbed another operator by the collar, and forced him to pull up the external surveillance footage: "Quick, pull up the footage from just now!"

The operator dared not disobey and trembled as he pulled up the video on the big screen. Sure enough, the video showed the afterimage of Bakas taking off with Tsukishima Aoi, heading towards the west side of the base.

Tsubasa Kamino stared at the screen, his brow furrowed. "That direction... is it towards the abandoned shrine?"

"Bakas sensed something was wrong... Anything that could make him leave hastily despite the chaos at the base is definitely not simple..."

Tsubasa Kamino's pupils suddenly contracted as he suddenly recalled the strange incident where his mimicry suit had inexplicably lost its senses.

"There must be some connection between these things..."

A series of clues converged in his mind, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Tsubasa Shinno's consciousness.

Combining this with the original plot, a terrifying guess instantly surfaced in his mind:

"Could it be...?"
