Chapter 88 - Defense Positions (1)

Port (Comm): "The security control center for this region is inside that cave. Go have a look and maybe we can discover what the problem is."

Shallot and everyone walked over the bridge. They could only fit two people at a time so they had to walk carefully. Shallot carried Weiss over the bridge inside the cave and could see a device in the middle.

Shallot placed Weiss down and took out his scroll and took a picture sending it to professor Port. The emblem on it was faded and couldn't be made out as it appeared old. Port had seen the message with an image sent by Shallot and felt like he had seen it somewhere but it was too faded.

Port (Comm): "Hmm. Some sort of foreign object. I feel like I've seen that symbol before... Nevermind that! Defend the control center while I undo the damage. Make sure your weapons are loaded and your mustache wax is stowed! This could get hairy."

Weiss had stood back up since her legs had stopped cramping. Coco walked up to the device and started taking pictures of it and sending them to Professor Port. Fox was looking around the area taking notes and talking with Yatsuhashi about possible attack and defense points. Team JNPR was looking at some holes in the wall that could lead Grimm to them so they were also coming up with plans.

Shallot got a message on his scroll and when he opened it he could see that it was from Neo.

[Nice-and-Tight: We found some information that Dr. Merlot has some type of relay beacons that he used to spread the influence on Grimm to attack the city last time. If we want to find a way to stop those signals from being sent we need information on the code and device that was used. Do you think you could find something like that, that's close enough to Beacon academy.]

Shallot seeing the message walked up to the device and plugged a cord in his scroll and then looked for a port on the device. After searching for a while he saw something he could plug into.

Shallot: 'This port has the latest tech on it which means that someone is still using it.'

He ran a program that started copying the information from the machine. He was looking at the download time and it said 22 days.

Shallot: 'Fuck that.'

Shallot started running another program and worked on sending only the system files from the machine to the cloud of his device that was shared between him, Neo, and Roman for when he needed them to due to some snooping work. Mainly Roman doing grunt work while he messaged Neo.

~~~

In a room, Roman sneezed while looking around then turned back to the computer seeing a message in the cloud group that he uses seeing that it is being sent something. He had looked around seeing a guard on the floor passed out and shook his head.

Roman: "It's so easy getting out of that cell when they leave so many incompetent people around here who are no better than the Faunus grunts I ordered around. Well, I should head back to the cell after I finish setting up the rest of this code before Cinder does her "rescue of me" thing."

Roman went back to typing away at the computer.

Shallot saw that only the information on the system being sent would take 1 hour. He placed his scroll on the device to let it finished doing its magic. Shallot went over to Ruby, Yang, and Velvet to let them know about the next part of using ki and how to efficiently use it for combat.

He could feel that there were Grimm nearby and this would be the perfect time to have them learn. Trial by fire was how he taught Blake and he plans on teaching his other girls the same way. When he had kids in the future he planned on teaching them this way also.

Shallot started talking to them about ki sensing which could take some time to get used to.

Shallot: "Blake already knows how to sense ki and when we get back anytime you have some questions and you can't find me then. I will be busy right before the tournament with the same last-minute training I do."

Ruby: "Aren't you already stronger than everybody?"

Ruby tilted her head slightly confused on why Shallot needed to become stronger.

Shallot: "Because I rather have the strength for anything I come across."

Yang nodded her head in understanding since she is always fighting and training because she wants to feel the rush of life. She could understand that feeling that Shallot has and why he keeps training even though she could tell that he is the strongest person around.

Velvet also cut into the conversation and stopped with the ki string technique listening to what they are saying.

Velvet: "How strong is Shallot exactly?"

Shallot shrugged his shoulders at that question before answering.

Shallot: "I could blow up the city of Vale if I wanted to without losing all my energy currently and probably within a year's time I will be able to create an attack that could raise the continent."

Velvet was shocked hearing that.

Velvet: 'Was he really that strong.'

Velvet looked towards Yang and Ruby also seeing that they were quite shocked hearing that. They didn't expect him to use cities as a way to measure how strong he is. While they were talking about miscellaneous things now they could hear some rumblings and shortly after the cries of Grimm.

19 Creep Grimms came rushing from the tunnels with holes spread all around but they were immediately mowed down by Team JNPR and Team CFVY. Velvet went to help and started with using Anesidora and using her semblance to make a weapon copying Ruby's Crescent Rose and darted into the group.

She rushed forward cutting and slicing while using the ki strengthening technique she used her semblance to copy when Shallot showed them how to do it. Thanks to her semblance Photographic Memory. Ruby didn't want to end up behind and also slowly used the ki she just got better with to also rush in. Yang rushed in slamming her fist into the Grimm making them implode from the force sent through their body.

What the girls noticed was that when their attacks that were strengthened with ki more than usual would appear outside of their body and would do more damage to the Grimm. It would make taking down the Grimm much easier and they could even do it with only one attack. The others of Team JNPR took slightly longer but still dealt with the ones by them.

The other members of Team CFVY had a bit of a ruffer time but were able to handle it due to their experience in the field. Blake and Shallot just watched them with Blake standing by the device making sure that if a Grimm slipped by it would wreck the machine. It only took the group twenty minutes to deal with all of the Grimm. The girls were using the Grimm as practice so that they could get used to using ki in combat.

Dr. Port came over the comms and talked to them telling him that he also was almost done getting information from this Security Control Center.

Port: "Students, we're a quarter of the way there. Keep up the good work!"
