But countless allied troops were stationed here.
These people were all perfect soldiers.

Kira and Inori Yuzuriha had already entered Infinite Justice's cockpit.

"Too slow!"
The vector thrusters of the Radiant Communicator behind Infinite Justice made minute adjustments, and the machine nimbly evaded the first wave of missile fire.
Even
