The guards on this level are almost non-existant. http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/354/a/f/master_control_room_by_drawingnightmare-d4jpol8.jpg The control center, where Rika Kawasuma stands. Most of the guards inside the ASC's Base are in this level of it. This place requires special access in order to be boarded. |

| Masaru checked his equipment once more. Glancing down at the armor that Akira had given him as well as the hacking tool. He took the hacker out and examined it. "Ten minutes..." He mused quietly to himself as he glanced back at the main door. He quietly advanced on the entrance and activated the small device, as well as the armor. The moment the door unlocked and opened he quietly sped into the base. Third floor stock room is first. He reminded himself as he ran through the base. He was a bit suspicious as to why there were no guards thus far, even if it was only the first floor. As he turned the many corners of the first floor, he finally found a flight of stairs and started to ascend to the second level. He wanted to take it slow and cautiously, however time was not a luxury he could afford at the moment. |
 |
| As Masaru walked through the halls of the Control Center, Rika kept a close eye on him. She knew that, sooner or later, who would come after the book. In response, she sent all her guards away and into the third floor, the Reactor Core, while the book was in her room. Patiently, Rika awaited for her guest to arrive. |

| Masaru had already reached the stairs to the third floor. At this point, he knew something was strange. Did she anticipate this? He mentally questioned himself. He ascended the stairs and took note of the drastic change in guards. With this suit... I should be able to navigate past them as long as I don't physically touch them. He told himself as he skillfully avoided the massive amount of guards, eventually coming across the stock room, taking note of the guard outside of it. The guard would most definitely notice something if the door simply opened on its own. He moved behind the guard and gave him a hard chop to the back of the neck to knock him unconscious, catching him as he fell and using the hacker to open the door. He dragged the unconscious guard inside and dropped him the moment the doors closed. There didn't appear to be anyone else in the room and he quickly started to rummage through the room looking for the book. |
|
| "It's not there." Rika's emotionless voice echoed through the room. "If you want it, come to Control Center, second floor." She added, making it pretty clear that she already knew where he was. Even though he used the suit, the base's cameras had thermal sights, being able to track down Masaru until he reached the stock room. As soon as she said so, multiple guards stood outside the room, having their guns pointed towards it. |

| Masaru tensed up and instinctively looked up to the walls and ceiling. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he took note of the noise coming from outside the room. "You must really not value your subordinates." He said, though mainly to himself. He grabbed his regular katana's sheath and deactivated his suit. He grabbed the unconscious man. Either the soldiers would hesitate to shoot and allow him to dispatch them easily, or they would shoot and he would use the man as a shield to get close. When the door opened, they only hesitated for a few moments before firing, which gave Masaru plenty of time to speed towards them. He dispatched one by slamming the sheath into his neck, another by throwing the unconscious man at him. The other two men were dispatched with about as much ease as the first was. He then returned to the one who had his comrade thrown at him and stomped on his head rather forcefully to knock him unconscious as well. He then activated the suit once more and sped back the way he came, down the stairs and heading immediately towards the control center. He deactivated the suit once he walked through the doors. |
|
| As soon as Masaru entered the room, the sound of the unsheathing katana could be heard, obviously enough, Masaru evaded the slash of a very known weapon, God's Wrath. The cold slash sinked into Masaru's skin even though he evaded it and it sent a cold down his spine. With rather blank expression, Nemesis stood in front of Masaru. The control center room quickly turned into a simulation room. Inside it, was only Masaru and Nemesis. A yawn could be heard in the back. Rika's yawn. "Come on, Stormcaller. Finish off this irritating man. However, if you defeat Stormcaller, I will give you the diary myself." Rika said, having a short emotionless chuckle. "Kill..." Nemesis' robotic voice repeated the word many times under his breath. "I must kill..." He added as he stood in battle position. He was much different than the last time. His stance was very agressive and it seemed to be deadly. This time, Nemesis would not hold back. |

| Masaru growled in annoyance at this. He let out an annoyed "Tch." and unsheathed his katana once more. "You're playing a very dangerous game, brat." He responded to her coldly, turned his scowl to Nemesis. He examined the weapon with narrowed eyes. "I'm going to tell you once, Nemesis. Get out of the way. If you don't, I will not give a damn whether you're brainwashed or of your own free will. I will cut you down as I have done before." He warned, though expecting to either not receive a response or to receive one in the form of an attack. |
|
| As Nemesis' eyes were settled on Masaru, he awaited for his words before stepping foward, quickly vanishing for half a second before he slashed at Masaru's sword and hit his legs with the pummel of his sword. "Kill..." He repeated, launching his hand towards Masaru's neck. While that, Rika once more spoke on the background of the room. "Please, Masaru. We both know your girlfriend is also a little brat. So is some officers of your faction. Don't play with me, boy, I am far more dangerous than you think. I could've killed your little girlfriend and all members of your faction while you're here playing with your old friend." She said, in a cold tone. Her tone showed that she was not kidding and so did the sentences. |
| Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; - Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III. |
| Expecting an attack of some sort, Masaru was ready for Nemesis' attack. Rather than parry the blade, he jumped back and out of the way, then sending a kick at Nemesis' hand before spinning around and slashing at his legs. "You're misinterpreting what I'm saying. You're not a brat because of your age. You're a brat because the way you act and what you do annoys me." He explained coldly. "And if you did that then I would kill you. In fact, with the way your voice is giving me a migraine you better hope I lose." He warned her dangerously. |
|
| Right after receiving the kick in the hand, Nemesis once more disappeared, falling back as he readied the sword once more. His speed was far from the same. He was much faster than before. Having a robotical body enhanced his forces too, making him more resistant. "Kill..." He repeated, once more disappearing and feinging a sword slash before he stepped ahead and hit Masaru with the pummel of the sword on his stomach. After Masaru's response, Rika stood silent, arguing now would be pointless for him. |
| Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; - Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III. |
| Masaru remained calm. He noticed how Nemesis' physical abilities were enhanced. He could still see Nemesis' movements however, well, enough that would give him time to react in some way. He saw that he was about to get hit with the pommel, however allowed this and instead of reacting he flipped his blade around so that he was wielding it in a reverse grip. When the pommel made contact, it did indeed hurt, especially due to Nemesis' physical abilities, however he could tolerate it. After it hit, he then grabbed his arm with his left hand and slashed the blade upward across his chest and towards his head. He knew if he just attacked without keeping Nemesis still in some way he would just evade it with ease. |
|
| The attack would have been critical, had Nemesis not detached his arm and grabbed Masaru by the arm with his other hand. After grabbing him, Nemesis pulled him to his front, facing Masaru's back, and punched him in the spine in astonishing speed. The strength of the hit would make Masaru let go of the grip on his arm. If not, he would also lose one hand, since the arm would not let go of the God's Wrath. "Kill... Destroy..." He repeated the words. Nemesis was clearly broken, not the same anymore. Even though his mind was distracted, his body moved by itself. |

| Masaru growled to himself. He quickly crouched down before sweeping his feet under Nemesis, attempting to kick his feet from under him. Masaru then finished the counter by switching to a normal grip on his blade again and slashing at him once more. He also let out a soft and quiet sigh. "What a waste..." He mused silently to himself. Though it was still somewhat audible, it was difficult to tell what exactly he meant. |
|
| Nemesis quickly responded by making a flip backwards. As he did so, his arm, that was laid on the ground, was attracted towards his shoulder, were it attached itself once more. Once it did so, he was once more wielding the God's Wrath. When he saw Masaru slashing, he slashed too, making the swords colide and echo in the empty simulation room. Nemesis then, quickly slashed once more, making Masaru slightly lose the balance, as he did so, Nemesis then swinged his sword on Masaru's chest. |

| At this Masaru growled threateningly as he unsheathed his other blade, the one made of Aegis and used it to parry the sword as he retreated slightly, gaining some distance between them. Now he was wielding both blades. He took a ready stance before dashing at Nemesis once more and making many fast and forceful swings at him. Now that he was using two blades at the same time, Nemesis would have to worry about parrying and/or evading two separate attacks at once. |
|
| In the exact moment Masaru dashed towards Nemesis, he swing his sword once, causing the attack to parry the first of Masaru's numerous slashes. After that, Nemesis quickly jumped back, gaining a fair ammount of distance between the two. Seeing that Masaru would continue his slashes, Nemesis parried once more only one attack before he grabbed the other blade. As he did this quickly, he then headbutted Masaru, making him fall back in disorientation. When the Nemesis hit Masaru, he quickly slashed Masaru on the leg with God's Wrath, making the icy venom penetrate. "I... Must... Kill..." Nemesis said under his mechanical breath as he then delivered the tip of his sword into the ground, making the entire room tremble. "I... Must... Destroy..." He repeated before he pummeled the sword once more into the ground, causing the room to dissemble. Some parts of the roof fell, causing eletrical cables to stay all over the room. The eletrical cables all were still active, since the eletrical current was still in them. Nemesis then recovered his sword and pointed it towards Masaru. "You will die!" He yelled his direct threat, dashing towards Masaru with all the killing intent someone could imagine. Slashing once upwards with full strength, Nemesis started a combination of successive and strong attacks, made to make Masaru lose his balance. Treading through the room was dangerous now, since some cables were located right behind Masaru and others all around the destroyed room. "Well, this is taking a path I did not expected." Rika's voice echoed on the still active room. "I was expecting you to finish him off quickly, since you already did it once. Shouldn't you know how he fights, how he is able to move around? Maybe I was overestimating you." Rika teased, her voice being slightly different due to the fact the room was completely destroyed. Her voice was more robotical than normal. |

| Masaru quickly shook his head in an attempt to rid himself of the dizziness inflicted by the headbutt. He was unable to dodge the attack from God's Wrath and he grimaced from the newly opened injury. He steadied himself as Nemesis prepared to launch his barrage of sword swings at him. However surprisingly, rather than stay on the defensive, Masaru charged at him again with a growl. He met Nemesis' slashes with his own. It was true that he knew Nemesis' style, however he was different now. He wasn't the same Nemesis, she had completely altered his capabilities and given him that blade. He glanced at the corner of his eye towards where she sat. "You're a fake..." He growled out. Masaru quickly put his attention back to the battle however. He noticed the wires and electrical cables behind him. "Then come and kill me... Nemesis." He taunted him, readying his blades once more however in a much more loose stance. |
