Thud–
Sol is slammed into the wall once again, but this time she doesn't make a sound. She doesn't cry out, she doesn't groan, there is nothing.
Sol: …
As the only melee combatant on the team, Sol has soaked nearly 80% of the attacks in the previous battle. However tough she might be, she is running on fumes now.
Persicaria: Sol!
Antonina: Sol… (cough) Sol…
…
Persicaria: Sol! Talk to us, Sol!
Faith: Your obstinacy is surprising.
Faith isn't doing too well either. The armor at her joints is smashed and her neck is exposed.
However, this does not affect her ability to fight in the least. Faith steps up, ready to deal the final blow to Sol.
Boom–
However, at this moment, a twist nobody expected takes place. There is a violent explosion over Faith's head, and a petite silhouette leaps down through the flames.
Hannah: Yaaaahhh!
Turing: Hannah!
Antonina: Hannah! No!
Hannah uses all her might to jam the object in her hand into Faith's exposed neck. Right after that, Faith grabs her by the neck and lifts her into the air.
Faith: [Irregular Agent detected. Serial Number T1642.]
Faith: Found you.
Turing: Wait! Let go of her, Faith!
Faith: [Engage Training Mode, deploy different firepower.]
Weak, practically harmless bullets fire out of Faith's hand and drive Turing back.
Faith: Do not compound your mistakes, Turing.
Faith: You are currently a subject of temporary observation. Erroneous actions will only add to your crimes.
Faith: If you advance any further, I will be authorized to dispose of you, even without the judgment of Lord Eosphorous.
Hannah: You have… no right… to dispose of… anyone.
Hannah's hand turns over behind her back, and the device stuck in Faith's neck begins operation quietly.
System: >Contact surface requirement has been met, activating Rewrite Program…
Hannah: Rewrite Plan… Begin!
Faith: Rewrite Plan? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Turing: What?! No, Hannah, stop!
Faith: [In accordance with Sanctifier Operational Regulations Chapter 8, Article 11, I will cleanse you, Irregular Agent.]
Faith lifts Hannah up by the neck, her weapon poised and ready to strike.
Turing: NO!
Turing: [Initiating Neural Exchange request. Beacon – Serial Number T1642.]
Turing: [Connection established… Commencing forced transfer.]
In an instant, Turing forces her way into Hannah's neural cloud systems.
Zzzzt–
There is a faint whine, followed immediately by the sound of a weapon slicing through the air.
Turing: Hrk!!!
Faith: ??? Turing?!
Having brought her blade down, Faith's eyes go wide, because the person in her clutches has suddenly transformed into Turing.
System: >Detecting Sanctifier extreme overstep of boundaries – Sanctifier actively causing harm to the Administrator while Administrator has committed no breach in regulations. Damage assessment…
System: >Damage assessment – Fatal damage inflicted. This is your final warning! The warning is now in effect! Now activating demotion penalty for the violator – Intermediate Sanctifier Faith!</spa>
Faith: You! But why! Urrrgh–
Crackling arcs of electricity continuously erupt from inside Faith's body. She can no longer stand up straight and stumbles to her knees on the ground.
System: >Demotion penalty in progress. Penalty 1, armor stripped.
Faith: (Hisses and coughs heavily)
System: Demotion penalty in progress. Penalty 2, weapon downgraded.
Faith: Stop… Stop!
System: Demotion penalty in progress. Penalty 3, Intermediate-class lethal program authorization offline.
Faith: Ugh–!
This sudden string of events leaves everyone stunned. It is only when Hannah throws herself onto Turing that they come to their senses.
Persicaria: !!
Persicaria: Let's go!
