Executioner's League-Chapter 90: Mission Last Hope!

Kyrin, Rin, and Blaze

headed straight to the base garage, where Shaeryn was already waiting beside a

sleek, armored vehicle gleaming with reinforced plating and glowing flux lines.

"This will help you on

your journey," Shaeryn said, placing a hand on the vehicle. "It's equipped with

high-grade weapons, custom flux-based tech, and state-of-the-art defensive

systems."

"Much appreciated, sir,"

Rin replied as they all climbed in.

Blaze slid into the

driver's seat and activated the main systems. Rin handled the gadget interface

and onboard computer, while Kyrin took charge of the defense and perimeter

tracking modules. The vehicle hummed to life, screens illuminating the cabin in

soft blue light.

"First hub's located at a

hover metro station," Blaze announced as they drove out.

Rin blinked, mildly

confused. "Wait, a metro station? Are they serious? That's their first tech

hub?"

Kyrin snorted. "Figures.

Jacob's always been two brain cells short of a full sync."

Blaze laughed. "That

insult just went peak."

Rin smirked. "No point

insulting a guy who's about to become target practice."

"Big talk," Kyrin said

with a grin. "Let's see you back it up."

They reached the outskirts

of the old hover metro station, and silence blanketed the area. The structure

loomed in eerie stillness, covered in dust and faded signage.

"No wonder his

communications failed," Kyrin muttered.

Blaze nodded. "Seriously.

Who's going to enter an abandoned station to transmit messages? If someone told

me to do that, I'd slap 'em on the spot."

They moved cautiously

inside, the echoes of their footsteps bouncing off rusted metal walls. The

place seemed deserted—until Rin activated his visor.

"Wait..." Rin said, scanning

the surroundings. His eyes narrowed as flux signatures appeared on his display.

"We've got movement. Someone's here."

He turned to Blaze. "Let's

initiate Multi-Soaring Talon."

Kyrin raised an eyebrow.

"What now?"

Blaze grinned. "You're the

key player in this one."

Rin nodded. "Blaze, your

part."

"You got it," Blaze

replied, stepping forward. In a burst of radiant energy, a pair of majestic

phoenix wings—pure constructs of Solarflare Ember Flux's powerful variant—unfolded

from his back. In a flash, he soared down the corridor, swift and blazing, a

streak of fire and light.

Kyrin stood there, still

confused. "Okay, what exactly am I supposed to do?"

Rin chuckled. "Just get

ready to fire a full output shot into the gateway I open. That's all you need

to worry about."

As Blaze zipped through

the corridors, he left behind discreet flux marks on each guard stationed

within. Before any of them could react, he vanished from sight again. Rin,

tracking the flux signatures through his visor, pinpointed every target Blaze

had marked.

He extended his hand, and

a small, glowing gateway opened in front of Kyrin—an Orbital Sync Gate powered

by Rin's own flux modulation.

"Now!" Rin shouted.

Kyrin, trusting the plan,

took aim and fired a charged bullet into the gateway. The round, amplified and

redirected through the spatial rift, split into multiple threads of

flux-enhanced energy and struck each marked target with surgical precision.

In a matter of seconds,

the guards dropped—one clean sweep, no alarms raised.

As the silence returned to

the corridor, Blaze reappeared at their side, wings dissipating behind him.

"Well," Blaze said,

stretching his arms, "that was fun."

Kyrin blinked. "That...

actually worked."

Rin smiled, eyes sharp

with focus. "That's just the beginning. We've got a lot more tech hubs to freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

sweep—and this was the easy one."

After sweeping through the

next tech hub, Kyrin and Rin swiftly collected and extracted all the stored

data files. One by one, they moved through the remaining hubs, using the same

method—efficient, precise, and silent. Each location brought them closer to the

truth.

Back in the armored

vehicle, the trio regrouped. Rin connected the central system to the extracted

data and began scanning through the contents. Rows of encrypted communication

logs, schematics, and video feeds scrolled across the screen. He narrowed his

focus on a series of secure transmissions—between Aureva and an unidentified

contact. Alongside them were sensitive documents detailing the mysterious

"Project Eclipse" and a list of the last known locations of Segrito's elite

assassins.

"She really gave

everything she had," Rin said quietly. "She tried to protect Celestia the only

way she could—with information. Now it's our responsibility to finish what she

started and bring her back."

Kyrin leaned in, analyzing

one of the decoded communication strings. "I see her strategy. She's not just

sending reports—she's working with someone. Someone trying to reach out, to

warn the outside world about what's happening in Celestia. A leak to the surface."

"Smart," Rin muttered.

"Silent resistance from the inside."

Blaze glanced at the

navigation screen. "One last hub remains. It's far from here—on the edge of the

sector. Headquarters of all tech hubs in Lumina Spire."

"That's the heart of their

operations," Kyrin said. "It'll be heavily guarded."

"What if Aureva's not

there?" Blaze asked. "What if this was all just a breadcrumb trail?"

"She won't be there," Rin

replied calmly. "This isn't about finding her directly. It's a trail of

clues—she's guiding us without revealing her position."

Kyrin folded his arms,

thoughtful. "Or... this last location could be a trap. If her contact was caught,

we might be walking straight into it."

Rin's gaze drifted to the

window as the landscape rolled by. "Senjuro... if you were here, what would you

do?"

Kyrin answered,

surprisingly in sync. "He'd turn the whole situation on its head with a plan no

one saw coming." He chuckled softly. "But we're not Senjuro. We do things our

way—headfirst, no fear."

Rin nodded, a faint grin

on his face. "That's what I like to hear."

Blaze smirked. "Yeah, BOI.

Let's tear this thing down."

The vehicle sped forward,

engines roaring like a storm on the horizon. The three of them were no longer

just investigating—they were becoming the counterforce to the chaos building in

Celestia. Every step, every data byte, every clue pulled them deeper into a web

that Aureva had fought to expose.

But now the mission was

personal.

They weren't just tracking

a missing scientist. They were confronting a conspiracy stretching from

Segrito's shadowy legacy to Jacob Bethelle's twisted ambition.

And they were ready.

Born for this. Built for

this.

Together, they set course

for the final tech hub—the headquarters where it all began, and where it just

might all come undone.
