The atmosphere at Ryo's mansion was tense yet focused as Kaito and his friends continued their rigorous training. The recent news from NASA about the asteroid had intensified their efforts, and they were determined to be ready for whatever lay ahead. The mansion had become a hive of activity, with preparations in full swing.
As the days passed, the group worked tirelessly to fortify their base. The underground passage and storage area were nearing completion, and Ryo's technological innovations provided them with a secure and well-equipped stronghold. Their families, now fully aware of the situation, supported them by sending supplies and offering encouragement.
One evening, as the group gathered in the training hall, a breaking news alert flashed across the television screen. NASA and other space agencies announced that the asteroid was set to hit Earth the following day at noon. They warned that the asteroid might contain a deadly virus and advised the public to stay indoors during that time.
The announcement sent shockwaves through the world. While many people heeded the warning and prepared to stay inside, others dismissed it as fearmongering and chose to ignore it.
As the group absorbed the news, they knew that the time had come. This was the moment they had been preparing for, and they needed to be ready. Ryo, with his technical expertise, activated the mansion's defense mechanisms. The AI robots, designed to assist in battle and protect the base, were brought online, their systems humming with readiness.
The next day, as the clock approached noon, Kaito and his friends gathered in the mansion, fully aware of the impending impact. They had trained for this moment, and now it was time to put their skills to the test.
As the asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere, it cracked into several pieces, with one of the largest fragments hurtling towards their location. The impact was imminent, and Kaito knew they had to act quickly.
When the asteroid hit the ground, a shockwave rippled across the planet, causing everyone to fall asleep—everyone except for Kaito and his friends. Their training had prepared them for this moment, and they remained conscious, ready to face the challenges ahead.
Kaito quickly gathered the group, instructing them to begin absorbing the virus using the breathing technique they had practiced. It was their first time doing it in real life, and the process was difficult and intense. The virus was potent, and the strain of absorbing it while maintaining consciousness was immense.
Despite the difficulty, they persevered, driven by the knowledge that they needed to be strong to protect those around them. As they absorbed the virus, they felt their powers intensifying, their abilities growing stronger.
As the six-hour mark approached, the group completed the absorption process, their powers now enhanced by the virus. The streets remained eerily quiet, with everyone still asleep from the previous day's events. Feeling a momentary sense of calm, Kaito and his friends decided to take a break and visit a nearby coffee shop.
The shop was empty, and they took the opportunity to relax and enjoy a brief respite from the chaos. Laughter and conversation filled the air as they sipped their drinks, the camaraderie providing a welcome relief from the tension of the past days.
However, their moment of relaxation was short-lived. Unbeknownst to them, people across the city were beginning to wake up, and the screams of victims being attacked by zombies soon pierced the air.
The group sprang into action, their senses heightened by the urgency of the situation. They rushed outside, ready to defend those in need and confront the new wave of threats.
Determined to protect the innocent, Kaito and his friends fought with precision and coordination, using their enhanced abilities to fend off the zombie horde. Kaito wielded his sword, channeling his Abyssal Eclipsed Sovereignty to cut through the zombies with dark energy. Riko unleashed her Infernum Genesis, incinerating the undead with calculated bursts of flame. Aya used her Abyssal Sovereign to create water barriers and strike with her Tideblade, while Ryo's AI robots and Titan Circuit provided crucial support, crushing the zombies with technological prowess. Mika, with her speed and Vital Surge, dashed through the battlefield, healing injuries and ensuring everyone remained in fighting condition.
As they fought, the group was confronted with the horrifying sight of people being eaten alive by zombies. The visceral horror of the scene was a stark reminder of the stakes they faced, and it fueled their determination to save as many lives as possible. The screams of the victims echoed in their minds, driving them to fight harder and faster.
Among the people they rescued was their favorite homeroom teacher, Ms. Faith, a 21-year-old foreign teacher who had always believed in them. Grateful for their intervention, she joined the group as they continued to fight.
As the battle raged on, some people watched from the safety of their homes, witnessing the display of powers and the bravery of the group. The realization that these young heroes were fighting to protect them filled them with hope.
After the fight, Kaito and his friends gathered the survivors and brought them back to their base. Fortunately, all the survivors they saved were female, and they were grateful for the group's intervention.
Ms. Faith approached Kaito, her expression a mix of gratitude and curiosity. "What exactly is happening?" she asked, seeking answers.
Kaito took a deep breath, explaining the situation to her and the other survivors. He spoke of the asteroid, the virus, and their mission to protect humanity from the impending apocalypse.
As he spoke, Ms. Faith listened intently, the realization dawning on her that Kaito and his friends had been telling the truth all along. Their bravery and determination inspired her, and she vowed to support them in any way she could.
The group, now stronger and more united than ever, stood together, reflecting on their first real battle. They realized that as long as they united and supported each other, they would emerge victorious against any threat.
As the sun set on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the mansion, Kaito and his friends stood united, their resolve stronger than ever. They had faced the first wave and emerged victorious, but they knew that the battle was far from over.
And with Kaito leading them, they knew they had a fighting chance.
