The moment Arc's group entered the facility Eve issued a warning that they have been detected. This was not possible if Eve didn't have a body. But now that Eve has its own body all her functions have been enhanced. She felt they were scanned the moment they entered, luckily they were on stealth mode, so they can't be seen even heat detectors can't detect them.
Eve knows whoever the owner of the facility is, was now aware that he has intruders.
So Arc and the rest increased their vigilance. Inside was very monotone only pale white colors everywhere according to Eve there are a total of 10 floors, and they are on the very top. Below them, there are 9 more floors.
It didn't take long for them to encounter their very first guards, the guards seem to be a hybrid creature both mechanical and living flesh combined. The creatures are very ugly to look at as there's no symmetrical parts both hands are of different types and sizes even the legs are of different types one is mechanical the other looks like an elephant leg. But there's no question that the guards is very powerful it is a good thing they are inside their own Gears if not even if they are enhanced they will have a hard time fighting the guards and there's a lot of them.
Eve using the combat droids immediately started ambushing the guards she knows they were already been detected so reducing the enemy numbers as much as possible is the first thing they need to do.
And Arc saw just how powerful 1-star combat droids really are. The droids form an bow and arrows on their hands and with a pull, the moment they released the arrow Arc heard a sonic boom and the guards didn't even have time to react they were blown to pieces by the arrow which is very unexpected as Arc was expecting a hole on the guard, but in truth, the guard already died when the arrow hit them and what destroyed them is the shock wave produce by the arrows.
The arrows disintegrated the moment it passes the enemy and returns to the droids.
Arc couldn't help but nodded in agreement that it was very cool indeed when Jem exclaimed! saying it is so cool!
With every corridors, the droids made quick use of different weapons to quickly kill all the guards, despite so no one complains about being a lack of actions on their part.
They all know their turn will come. The top floors is nothing but empty rooms. As they go from floor to floor the guards are becoming more grotesque and powerful by the time they reach the fifth-floor bas.e.m.e.nt, Ruby and Jem are already participating in the fights.
Only Arc, Biggs and wedge remains idle as well as the main body of Eve.
Looks like the owner of this facility has some twisted sense of humor, said Jem shaking her head disgusted.
So far what they saw was row and rows of a dead body being preserved and stored neatly and many body parts of different species. The only consolation is that they don't see any human body.
"Eve looks for a terminal or control center, I also want to know who the bastard responsible for all of this." Said Arc with an angry look on his face.
"The control room is on the bottom floors all energy is being routed there." Said Eve.
"Then lets head there directly and not waste more time exploring each floors," said Arc.
"No Boss we need to clear all floors if not we will be overrun and be attacked on all front by the time we reach the bottom floors." Said Ruby.
Of course, Arc was aware of it, it's just he was tired of seeing ugly guards and a countless dead body and body parts. It's like a museum for the dead body.
Sigh, "very well." Said Arc.
"And boss I suggest we take all the dead body and body parts." Said Ruby.
"Huh!? Why?" Said Arc.
But it was Eve who answered. "For study and to prevent the owner from using it against us."
"F.u.c.k! this is disgusting buy Very well!" So Arc summons another 2 combat droids and handed them over an empty storage ring. 1 droid went back to the previous floors to take all the preserved bodies and body parts the other will join them and be responsible for storing the body parts on the next floors.
Arc was so gross out by all the body parts. His hair is all standing up. But he also notices that all the body have cuts on their chest and it's not completely close and can be open anytime, and it wasn't just him who noticed it everyone of them did. But no one volunteers to find out why.
By the time they reach the 8th bas.e.m.e.nt floor the other droids that come back to get all the body parts on the previous floors have caught up with them. And on the 8th floor the body parts being stored are very different not only it is bigger but the energy being released by the dead body shows how powerful it was when it was still alive.
There are also many mechanical parts being stored on the lower floors. And the guards are also numerous and a lot stronger by then all of them are fighting and Arc already summoned all the combat droids he has as well as portable combat drones. By the time they reach the bottom floor Arc and the rest are already quite spent. Only the droids and Eve remain tireless.
At the bottom floor there's, only a single body being stored and when they saw it they are flabbergasted. Of all the bodies they saw this is the last they expected to find.
"No way!! Can it be?…"
"That's right that's an elemental body. Albeit only lower elemental." Said Nine.
