Chapter 168 - ATTACK ON THE UNDERWATER FORTRESS (Part-1)

"How do we track their location, in this vast sea they could be anywhere, who knows whether they already don't know about us, trying to find their location. After all at the end of the day S.T.A.R.S is a world-class organization with superior technology." Mari raised this question about finding the base where such unspeakable crimes were committed.

"She has a point, neither do we have any idea about their location but also but will we do even after we find them. It is their turf, their arena where they are adapted to living. We can't possibly just barge into a top security military base, moreover it is of another nation. Plus this can very well raise war between the two countries." Hattori calmly analyzed the situation without letting his emotions cloud his judgement and point of view on the current situation.

"What Hattori said is true, we can't just barge into a maximum level security base and fight against them." Mahiyu also agreed at the analyses provided by Hattori.

"But that doesn't mean that we can't hide our identities and silently infiltrate the enemy base, while we search for the other children and rescue them....." she quickly added causing Muraji to raise a question.

"Then what, they will become wanted by the S.T.A.R.S ,every camera ,every eye will search for them. What will we do then, we can't possibly safeguard them from that organization forever. To remove all the evidence they will surely try to kill the kids."

"The Ruujiki clan is willing to shelter the children kidnapped by the S.T.A.R.S and provide them with a new opportunity, a new identity to start anew, a chance for revenge after they grow up." Ichizu who had regained his calm looked at the girl, Kokoa standing beside Mayuri with a smile.

After the incident, Ichizu had silently erased a part of Mizuiki and Mikihiko's memories ,about the release of his spirit. The information concerned the core of the Ruujiki clan so he didn't had any other choice but to do so. Tatsuya's mind was preoccupied after thinking about the girl so he didn't notice what Ichizu had just done.

His statement had shocked many of them whereas for some people it was an expected decision. Mayumi looked towards Ichizu and said in a low tone "If we can somehow damage their base badly then they will surely call for help and use those forces to rehabilitate their base, using that Transformation jutsu of your you will enter the base as a worker and then try to find the kids."

"That's a good plan, but the main problem still remains, how are we going to even find that secret base. The place must be cloaked by a force-field which isn't easy to hack into." added Suzune.

"Kyouko-san....I believe if given the right resources you will be able to hack into their software.???" asked Ichizu as he glanced at Kyouko.

"Hmmm.....I can do that if given the right technology to work with but since this is a unauthorised mission ,I can't use my equipments..." she replied with slight frustration in her tone.

"Well even though Ruujiki clan is an ancient clan, I still believe that we do have the required technology to assist you." replied Ichizu.

"I don't know Ichizu, the equipment used for mapping the source core needs to be advanced so that, we wouldn't be traced back after we attempt to hack into one of the world's most guarded place." said Kyouko in a doubtful tone.

Nikasu raised his palm towards the sky as a magic sequence appeared beneath his feet. Runes danced around his palms and tore open the space. The blueish transparent cube appeared in his palm.

Nikasu injects some psion inside the cube, the codex inside it started rotating at a high speed along with the increasing size of the cube.

The transparent cube continued to expand till it shallowed everyone inside itself. Screens appeared in the air along with a console and other devices like entry keyboard.

The scene stunned everyone, Tatsuya had wide eyes as he could understand what this cube was.

"This is *Fluctlight projection* !!!!!...." he said as his cold and indifferent look was replaced with one of amazement.

"Indeed.....you are really smart and knowledgeable Tatsuya would this thing is much more than a [Fluctlight Projectile] but a lot less than [Fantasy Marble]" Ichizu agreed with Tatsuya's words but also disagreed on due to certain features provided by the cube.
