What? A person??

This is unbelievable. A survivor in BWZ? This is unreal...

(The guy kept his distance from me, wondering how I even got here in the first place)

Who are you? And what are you... wearing?

Answer me right now, or else. (The man draws his gun and is pointing at me!)

...

What? You're going to help me retrieve Operational Unit?
How do you know the unit in the first place?
I did not receive a word that I had a backup available for this mission. Are you really a backup?

State your platoon and the code immediately!

...

State your platoon and the code immediately!

(Just then, a flying robot creeps up on him.)

Oh crap! (He managed avoid the first shot)

(He may not be in a set, stable position, but he still fires away at the robots nonetheless. This guy is quite a shooter...!)

(But with a neverending stream of enemies rushing him, his bullets does not even make a dent. To make matters worse, one of the robots shoots a laser beam, which knocks down his gun.)

Not here... not here...

I can't die here. I can't die here! (The man then throws a grenade in the air, which explodes and causes the whole area to be covered in smoke)

(Everything seems to be wiped out from the explosion.
Just then, one of the robots that survived the explosion emerges from the smoke and flies straight towards the man.)

No! (With the man preparing for his last breath, I use my skills to eliminate the rushing robot.)

...

...Why... why did you help me?

...

You're not answering.
That's okay.

The unit... holds the key to the survival of not just this country, but the whole world.

The problem is, the enemies understand the importance as well, and they stole it from us. That's why I'm here, trying to retrieve the unit.

There's no need to hide the fact now.
This unit is essential to turning the tide in this battle, and I have been given a mission to enter BWZ and retrieve the unit.

I don't know what you are here for, but if you insist on helping me, then...

I won't ask where you came from, or the origin of that power of yours.

Don't assume that I trust you wholeheartedly just yet. The moment the unit is found, and I see that you turn your back on me...

I will make you regret making that decision for the rest of your life.

Now here's the summary of what had transpired with the unit.

Two days ago, Zipangu Tech Lab, which is located at Tsukuba, was ambushed by enemies. In the process, they took away what was our ray of hope, the unit.

Zipangu Tech Lab is an institution where various studies involving national intelligence takes place, and is instrumental in developing BWZ.

You don't know what BWZ is? What have you been doing all this time...?

What we did was find a way to contain Army of Blaze, the army of robots that grew by itself in Tokyo, by using a Form of electronic pulse barrier called BWZ (Baroque Wall Zone). We also had to make a tough decision of leaving a lot of people inside the boundaries of BWZ as well.

Tokyo has been in isolation from the rest of the world ever since. It's been two years now...

Breaking through the BWZ requires a concentrated dose of high-level energy, and it's not easy to penetrate by any means, but that doesn't mean BWZ has been immune from enemy attacks.

But this time, a huge army of Core Blaze penetrated through BWZ and ambushed Zipangu Tech Lab. This has never occurred before.

Zipangu Tech Lab was built to withstand such attack, but the sudden ambush caused 80% of the whole facility to be destroyed.

Because of the concentrated dose of high-level energy that penetrated through the barrier, the satellite that was floating above Tsukuba was also destroyed. That's the reason why I don't know the full details to the case.

The army was quite formidable, but instead of returning to BWZ, it left the area and took the sea route out.

I believe they avoided Moriya's last line of defense. I have a feeling they are just as damaged as we are.

I was given the mission of retrieving the unit, and was busy chasing the squad that ambushed the lab at Kasumi Kaura. I was able to infiltrate one of the tankers that was crossing the ocean, but I didn't have enough time to search everyone inside.

And in the end, I had to return to BWZ empty-handed.

This right here is a Photo Town that has long been called Odaiba.

You may spot armored combat vehicles roaming around the area. It's AfterLord, a halftrack of a member of Army of Blaze. It might be a halftrack, but do not underestimate its ability to fire bullets.

The tanker carries plenty of AfterLords, and one of them is sure to be carrying the unit.

I'd like nothing more than to destroy each and every one of them, but with flying robots like Overlord hovering above, I will be subject to massive fire if I do just that.

First, we must destroy Overlords to decrease their numbers, then we need to make sure to hide our tracks so we don't get caught.

Your mission is to destroy Overlord.

Are you saying it's okay to just let them go like that?

So how's your progress?

Frankly, I am quite amazed by your abilities, my friend.

Come to think of it, I remember seeing this girl who possessed a similar Form of mysterious powers I just saw from you. I haven't seen her lately, but...

Nevermind, that had nothing to do with you. Just forget about it.

I have successfully destroyed everything surrounding Odaiba. I am sure they now have set their sights on that area after what I've done.

Next up, we need to spot the AfterLord that's carrying the unit with it.
