Then, Heinrich, Grimmer, and Heinz replies with a unison "understood" at the same time before finally starts to moves their divisions to the designated positions
Kouhei, whos watching from besides, talks to Kurumi on the current situations, with the preparation to retrieve and detonate TFCB as a way to stop Darius
Kurumi tolds Kouhei that the Vampire now was 1 and half hour away from Takuyura City, which are a very short time to execute the plan, and even express her worry about the plan itself
But, Kouhei tolds Kurumi, that everythings is going to be okay, just like according to his predictions and plan
Upon hearing such a very confidence reponse from Kouhei, Kurumi asks Kouhei how could he be this confidence? Rmembering how dangerous is Darius and his capability to end the world, its not something easy to handle
Then, Kouhei replies with a nonchalant tone as he leans back on the wall he was leaning on
"Dont worry, TFCB is just a complementer for this plan, a bonus, you know?"
"A bonus? What do you mean "just a bonus"? Is this...have something related to your "hidden weapon" to defeat Darius?" Asks Kurumi to Kouhei
Kouhei then chuckles a bit and nodding as he confirms Kurumi's suspicion
"Ah, bingo! Kurumi-san! You hit the jackpot..." Says Kouhei as he congratulates her
Then, Kurumi asks Kouhei about this "hidden weapon" of him that he planted close to Darius
"Then...may i ask about this "hidden weapon" of yours?"
But, Kouhei simply shakes his heads and tells Kurumi to just watch this events turns out until the end
Then, Hofurz and the volunteering soldiers to come along Hofurz to retrieve TFCB finished suiting up with the Anti-Desert Suits
Yui then walks closer to Hofurz, her voice is full of worry and concern, her voice clearly implicates that she doesnt want to lost another of loved one to her
But, Hofurz shakes his heads and tolds her that this is his responsibility to carry the missions
Yui keep insisting for Hofurz to not pushing himself beyond what its his responsibility, but Hofurz keeps saying that this is his responsibility
And, from the corner, Mandela and Albert can just watching the scene from the corner like everyone else
Then, Hofurz comes to Yui and pat her heads in reassurance
"Yui-sama...ive already considers you just like my daugther..."
"But, someone has to do it, aren't it?"
"Yui-sama...sorry for not able to be in besides you in the moment of needs..."
"And besides, i think you're already have someone to leans on, aren't you?" Says Hofurz as he darts to Kouhei, Kurumi, and everyone in the room
Then, Hofurz walks past Yui and approach Kouhei along with the volunteering soldiers
Then, Hofurz tolds Kouhei that hes ready to began the retrieve missions, the volunteering soldiers also nods as they also confirms their readiness
Then, Kouhei activates Oruvi's necklace, and activates the Portal Ability to the Desert's outskirts
After the portal opens, the volunteering soldiers decides to go inside the portal first
But, they saluted Kurumi first and asking for a good luck for them
Upon hearing it, Kurumi just chuckles and says "Good Luck" to them as a pray
Then, the volunteering soldiers finally enters the portal
Hofurz then walks into the portal too, his mind is already readying himself for any scenario that might happen, even death scenario
But, as he walks past Kouhei, Kouhei whispers to his ear
"You wont die...Yui still needs you" Before Hofurz finally enters the portal
Upon hearing it, Hofurz kept thinking it for a short time before finally focusing again on the missions infront of him
Then, in instant, he was already in the outskirt of Nihin's Deserts, the raging desertstorms was visible from the outskirts, looming over the biome
Then, Hofurz starts to walks first to the desertstorm to go to the base, he activates his air-preasured jets to utilize the storm's windspeed to get to the secret base as fast as he have to
The volunteering soldiers also starts to following close behind Hofurz as they began their journey to the secret base
The desertstorms that happens in Nihin's Desert was extremely dangerous, the windspeed in the wind speed detections inside their suits shows an enermous number of 3,75 Terauts, or nearly 422Km/Hour
Then, the sands that are carried by the storms is also covering their sights, and theyre forced to use the helmet's headlight and wiper to keep their sights on the path
Meanwhile, back in The Fortress Main Frame Room, Yui and Kouhei is watching the progress of Hofurz and others on the missions while Kurumi is observing Darius and his army positions
Yui's hands is trembling due to the heavy stress and worry for Hofurz and others on the missions, and Kouhei notice this and quickly put his hands in her shoulders, and start to reassures her
"Dont worry, everything is going to be, Sir Hofurz will not die...i can assure that, even if he wanted too..." Says Kouhei with a reassuring tone
Upon hearing it, Yui relaxed a bit, hearing it from Kouhei, makes her minds easen a bit, she then steps closer to Kouhei's sides, and then, she decides to leans her head to Kouhei's shoulder
Kouhei, upon seeing their actions, doesnt protest, he instead put an arm around her shoulders and start to soothes her
He smiles softly at Yui, easening her more to relieve her stress and worriness for Hofurz
But, hes also been dreaming this kind of moment in his life, and inside of his mind? He was esctatics, because similar to a intimate moments in anime and manga
"Oh my god!! I cant believe this is real! I was besides a girl, then she leans her head to shoulders for comfort, and then i wrap my arms around her shoulders..."
"This is just like in the manga and anime!!" Says Kouhei inside his internal minds
Meanwhile, from her screens, Kurumi observes Kouhei's face, though Kouhei was masterful at concealing his face expressions
But Kurumi still able to knows whats on Kouhei's mind by observing his actions and his tone when hes comforting Yui, she sighs before she talks inside her mind
"Ah...young kids like him, hes brilliant, for sure"
"But hes still an hormonal teens after all...and an otaku on top of that..." Says her insides her mind before back to observing Darius fleet positions and the battlefield
Back at the deserts, Hofurz and the groups finally arrives at an rocky mountains
One of the volunteering soldiers in the group then asks Hofurz through the radio, why did he stop at this normal looking desert rocky mountains?
But then, Hofurz simply answers back to the radio that this is the base that hides The "Last Hope" and TFCB
All of them cannot believe their ears on what they're hearing, all of that, hiddens inside this mountain?! But how?
Then, Hofurz steps foward, and place his hands in one of the rock infront of him, and then a light starts to appears
It turns out, that the rock that Hofurz place his hands on, is sort of keypad that recognizes his hands sizes
Then, an artificial voices heard from the keypad, greetings Hofurz as it recognizes its masters
"Welcome Back, Hofurz, Imperial Nihin Air Force General, Please says the approved password to grant access to the base"
Hofurz then turns his head around to face the soldiers of the group, he then told them to turns off their radio with him
Then, the soldiers comply immediatly and turns off their radio
Then, Hofurz turns his head back facing the keypad and says the password to the "Last Hope" Air Force and TFCB Base
"You're is Our Last Hope..."
"The Hell that Humanity Fears, is closing in..."
"All Hope seems lost..."
"But, We're still here, alive, exist, not yet lost..."
"Because of that..."
"For the 7 Oceans, 7 Continents of the World, and Heavens itself..."
"All the lives of Humanity..."
"And..."
"In the name of the Emperor And Empress that acts as our guider..."
"Grants us the power to challanges the Hell!" Says Hofurz as he screamed at the last phrase
Then, the keypad speaks again
"Access Granted"
"Preparing the manifestations of Hope of survival of Humanity"
"Codename: Pandora, Ready to challanges the hell in the name of heavens and its guider"
Then, the rocky mountains starts to shaking, and then, a massive, steel gate reveals from the deep of the mountains
The desertstorms slowly fades as the mountain is opening itselfs, revealing whats inside of it
Then, after the storms over and the gate is revealed, the gate starts to opening wides, revealing a long steel halls led to insides
Then, Hofurz takes off his helmet mask, and says to the soldiers of the group to take their helmet off too
The soldiers comply to the orders, all of them still shocked from everything that happens
One of then asks Hofurz how the desertstorm suddenly fades in a short time
Hofurz then revealed that the desert biome of Nihin have been modified into an massive-wide hidden military base
He explains that the desertstorm itself was one of its defense mechanism that hides the presence from any intruder outside of Nihin, disguised as an very harsh terrain
The desertstorm itself, was revealed to be made by an huge clynders beneath the deserts to create storms with a power above 3 Terauts or 330km/Hour
And, when the soldiers hears this, they could'nt believe it, something so enermous...something so advanced like this...
"How could somethinf like this never been revealed??" Says one of the soldiers
Then, Hofurz simply just says
"Emperors and Empress of Nihin are never so stupid..." As he enters the Base
The soldiers, though still shocked, they decides to brush it off and hurry follows Hofurz inside the Base
The soldiers was amazed by the how massive the halls of the base is, they feels like they're ants inside of the halls
Then, after a few minutes, they arrives at the balcons of insiden the base, which reveals something enermous...
They see an huge-black painted missiles, standing with all the dust on its body, yet, always ready to challanges even the hell itself
Around it, hundreds of advanced jets and bombers with all of its lasers cannons and missiles, and a couples of motherships with all its high-caliberated laser turrets, projectiles turrets, and missiles launchers scattered neatly circling the missiles
Hofurz grips the handles of the balcons, and then, speaks to the soldiers
"Young gentleman...this is...The Last Hope Air Force Divisions, or...."
"The Pandora Air Fleet, "The Archangle Of Humanity" Says Hofurz as he jumps down and use the jets to lands safely on the bottom of the Base
Hofurz then walks to the TFCB Bombs lying around in the middle of the base, his hands then touch the body of the bomb
Then, he remembers almost 50 Years ago, when he still serves Yui's grandfather, Surosafu Nishimura, when hes still focused in Military
He was revealed to the Pandora Desert Military Headquaters by Surosafu, that time, the Base was still filled with scientist and Imperial Soldiers
Hofurz was confused why do Surosafu reveals the base to him, since he knows that only the Admirals that are allowed to be exposed to this base's knowledge
But, Surosafy doesnt fazed, his eyes still carries a huge trust for Hofurz, and, then, Surosafu then speaks to Hofurz in a weak elder voice
"Commander Hofurz, its because i have a mission for you..." Says Surosafu as he coughs a bit
Hofurz, heard the word "mission", instantly puts him into military formality manners, and then ask Surosafu about the missions he was assigned to
"Emperor Surosafu, may i ask majesty whats the missions you assigned me to?" Says Hofurz with formal tone
Surosafu just chuckled a bit at Hofurz's formal words and manners
"Always formal, eh? Sir Hofurz?"
"Oh well, i will tell you about the mission then...i like your inisiative acts..." Says Surosafu as he lights up a cigarates
Hofurz, upon hearing it, he relaxed a bit, bit still at formal state as Surosafu about to told about the missions
"Your missions is...be Pandora Air Fleet's General, and..."
"Teacher for my son, Prince Farus Nishimura"
Then, fhe flashback ends
Hofurz's lips twitched to a slight smile, and then, he mutters under his breath
"Tch, damn it...Surosafu, you never specified what else im going to carries on my back..."
And then, he walks to one of Pandora Air Fleet's Mothership
The motherships was covered in black and white stripes om the edges of each platforms, dozens of lasers and projectile cannons, the number "112" on the hull, and, three massive 3 mouthed-cannon turrets
Then, one of the soldiers in the group asks Hofurz whats the Mothership that are infront of them right now
Hofurz then, turns around, facing all the soldiers in the group, and then, told them about the ship
"Nishimura-Class Flying Aircraft Carriers, INA Surosafu, 3rd Biggest Motherships of Imperial Nihin Airforce"
Then, back at the Main Frame Room, Kouhei comes to Kurumi to informs him about the Darius's fleets positions and current informations about the battlefield
Kurumi then tolds Kouhei that the Port Sector now has been liberated, then, the civilians has been evacuated to outskirts of Takuyura in the hills and near Feldirach Town
The Nihin Armed Forces and Police Federation that fights in Takuyura was now also starts to evacuated to the hills, while the Artilerry Regiments has been stationed for the Kill Zone
Upon hearing the situations, Kouhei suddenly got an idea
Then, he tolds Kurumi to order the soldiers that are still in Port Sector to gathers as many as ships they can get, to fills them with as many as explosives or ammunitions in the Port
And finally, tied all of them and turns on the ships, let them drifting off to the sea towards the Darius's fleet directions
And, Kouhei also told Kurumi to prepare the Coastal Turrets across Takuyura's beachline who are operated from the Main Frame Room and waits for his next orders
Kurumi, hearing the idea, she immediatly figures out what was Kouhei was planning to do, then, she quickly executing Kouhei's plan
But, before that, Kurumi turns her head to face Kouhei and teases him a bit
"Not bad kid, you're not bad for some crazy brilliant 16 Years old..." Before begin executing Kouhei's plan, contacting the soldiers that are still in the Port to gather as many ships to fills them with explosives and ammunitions
After a while, the soldiers in the Port able to get as many as 34 ships, fills them with explosives and ammunitions and tied them with a long chains
"Miss Kurumi, we've already prepared the ships, waiting for the next orders" Reports the Lieuthenant of the regiments
Then, Kurumi, speaks to the Lieuthenants
"Reports accepted, proceeds to drifts all the ships to the sea and leave the city immediatly" Orders Kurumi to the Lieuthenant
The Lieuthenant, after got the order, immediatly tolds his soldiers to let all ships drifts to sea, and quickly began to leave the city
Kurumi in the Main Frame Room immediatly orders all the staffs in the room to activates the Coastal Turrets
Nikolai, watching it all from the back of he room, goes to approach Kouhei
"Sir Kouhei, you're trying to broke off the fleet's formations and buys more time for Hofurz to deliver the TFCB, huh?" Says Nikolai to Kouhei
Then, Kouhei turns himself to face Nikolai, his face is calm as ever, he smiled a bit before speaks to Nikolai
"Heh, in an online game, someone must go to all out to keeps the top 1 leaderboad to get the best results possible, im simply just playing an strategy game against amother player in a sense" Says Kouhei with a smug tone
But, Nikolai is a bit confused by Kouhei's words
"Uh...what? Online games? What is that?" Asks Nikolai to Kouhei
Then, Kouhei just brush it off, then he goes to Kurumi to asks about the preparations, leaving Nikolai confused
Then, Mandela approached Nikolai, comforting him
"You can ask Sir Kouhei about that later, now lets help with the preparations too" Says Mandela as she brought Nikolai to other part of the room
Kouhei approachs Kurumi and ask about the preparations
Kurumi informed Kouhei that the Coastal Turrets was ready, over 55 Coastal Turrets across Takuyura beachline
But then, Kouhei speaks to Kurumi
"Let them come..."
