Fire-Chasing Squad: Build Rangers-Present! (Part 2)

Jackal's base camp in Changkong City—

After handing over the recorded data to Jackal as usual, Raven witnessed the heartbroken expression Jackal always wore after each battle. "This time I sent out the combined monster I finally created, why did I still lose? She was using her old Scarlet Drill Form, why could she crush my 9432?"

The Raven scratched its head and hesitated before saying, "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."

The Jackal rolled his eyes. "I'm not talking."

Raven: "..."

The angry worker turned and left. He had originally wanted to say that he noticed the other party was playing around during the battle, not going all out like before, and wondered if Xing Kaslana's power had been restored. Since the other party didn't want to hear it, he decided to forget it.

Outside the base—

The girl thoughtfully tidied up her companion's double -Spiral Drill ponytail, then disdainfully slapped the two braided strands aside. "Ready, everyone?"

Wendy, carrying the Pirate Train: "I've been ready for a while!"

Mei didn't say anything, she just gripped the sharp blade in her hand tightly.

Kane silently watched his partner, who had suddenly grown quite a bit. He used to be a head shorter than Kane, but now he was almost the same height. His hair had also grown longer; his former four-ponytail hairstyle was now long and flowing. Most importantly, his chest...

Smack!

Seeing Kane slammed into the wall, she gave Kiana a thumbs-up in an approving manner, then quickly went over and dug her partner out. Looking at the half-dead boy, she sighed helplessly, placed her hand on his chest, and felt his heartbeat.

"Yes, still alive."

A red pattern shone through the fabric on the girl's chest, and a healing power was transmitted to Kane, the warm touch waking him from his coma.

When he woke up again, he was still in a daze as the girl grabbed his ear and prepared to go up as the vanguard.

"Hey, Luming, what are you doing?"

Kane asked in a daze, and before he could react, Xing kicked him in the butt, putting him right into the surveillance range of the door camera.

Kane's face turned green as he watched the densely packed mechanical soldiers surge out, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward to fight the monsters. If Luming weren't a beautiful girl, he wouldn't have put in so much effort!

(Extra fee applies if it's a man)

With the Dragon Fullbottle in his left hand and the power of the Stigmata activated in his right, Kane moved with unparalleled ease, sweeping away monsters with ease, one punch after another, and having a great time.

But at that moment, a scene that shocked him and the onlookers behind him appeared.

Suddenly, two robotic soldiers each pulled out a new type of purple Smoke Gun, inserted a white and a green gear into each, and issued commands.

"[Rundong]"

The hacked transformation scene unfolds accompanied by emotionless mechanical voices, and two uniquely designed mechanical warriors appear before Kane.

"Transformed? You're kidding, right?"

Kane's eyes widened, but he had no time to be surprised. Sensing danger, he quickly summoned the Cross-Dragons, transformed into his base form, and engaged them in battle.

Xing felt conflicted after witnessing all this. That was the Caesar System. Jackal had actually created this. If she were allowed to continue developing it, could she really replicate that black hole monster in the Honkai World?

We can't hesitate any longer; we must end her plan here today!

"(Well, this current state is barely acceptable.)"

Having sensed her current strength, Xing gave her companions a knowing look, and they gathered around her, casting apologetic yet encouraging glances at Kane. Xing then resolutely picked up her Smoke Gun and moved into the base.

This thing is really useful. I wonder if Lobster Doctor's mass production experiment was successful. I must get one for the Fire-Chasing Squad in the future. It's definitely a lifesaver!

Kane, who was being brutally beaten, said, "I..."

Amidst the mountain of parts, the Dragon Knight was repeatedly forced back by the rapidly spinning gears. The machines, which felt no pain, could not retreat, and could not malfunction, instilled in him a rare sense of fear.

The Beat Closer in his hand was knocked away, and he was hit in the chest with a heavy punch. Before he could even cry out in pain, his opponent kicked him in the abdomen, sending him crashing into a pile of parts.

The wreckage of the machine soldiers lay scattered on the ground. The boy, who had been forced to de-transform, struggled to his feet. Looking at the gears that were slowly approaching like a killing machine, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it, Luming!"

"However, if you're going to back down when faced with an enemy like this, you wouldn't be worthy of being a knight, would you?"

Kane pulled the Dragon Fullbottle from the Cross-Dragon, took out the Lock Fullbottle, and took a deep breath.

"Please allow me to use this form, partner."

—I am invincible!—

"Hey, using the enemy's weapons isn't something a righteous Valkyrie would do."

On the other side, Sachi and her group, who had teleported over, ran into Raven (Grease Form), who was idly strolling around the base after work. When Raven saw the girls appear in front of her in smoke form, a million Jackal seemed to be running through her mind.

Boss! I told you to add a self-destruct function to the drivers and devices you designed to prevent them from being stolen, but you didn't listen. You've been adding self-destruct functions to the base quite frequently, though. Well, now Lobster Doctor on the other side is probably laughing in his lab, "Now you've tasted what it's like to be stolen from, haven't you?"

"Don't panic, I'll go first." Xing snorted, took out the driver and put it on, and the others followed suit.

"Hey, isn't something wrong?" The Raven on the other side was dumbfounded. Why did it suddenly have a premonition that it was about to be ganged up on?

"Rabbit!" Tank! Best Match!"

"Taka!" Gatling! Best Match!"

"Ninja! Comic! Best Match!"

"Wolf!" Smapho! Best Match!"

"Kaizoku!" Ressya! Best Match!"

"Dragon!" Lock! Best Match!"

A male Valkyrie who transforms outside has infiltrated the area, hehe~

(Adjust the sound effects on your smartphone)

Are you ready?

"Transform! x6"

Fire-Chasing Squad - Riders Ranger - Here we come!

The Gears tried to rush up to stop Kane from transforming, but the shockwave generated by the Dragon Lock combination sent them flying. By the time their combat systems returned to normal, Build in Dragon Lock Form was already walking towards them step by step, carrying the Beat Closer.

"Alright, round two."

Inside the base, Sachi took the lead, and her first punch startled Raven: "What's going on? She's several levels stronger than before? No, it's more accurate to say that this is her true level!"

Fortunately, she didn't linger in the fight. After throwing a punch, she jumped away. Mei, in her Ninja Manga form, took the opportunity to close in and swung her Four-Panel Ninja Sword, but Raven caught it with one hand.

"Not bad swordsmanship, but..." Before Raven could finish speaking, Wendy in her Pirate Train form swept in, forcing Raven to use her other hand to catch the Pirate Train again. "Not bad strength, but as an archer..."

Before Raven could finish speaking, a barrage of bullets struck his back. Exhausted, he turned around and saw Kiana unleashing a furious barrage of attacks.

"Can you please let me finish what I have to say?!"

Even though the Raven's voice was an electronic one devoid of gender or emotion, the girls could still feel its overflowing anger. Unfortunately, they were not inclined to fight.

If Fu Hua, who teaches them martial arts every day, knew this, she would probably be so angry she'd vomit blood.

Bronya, in her Smart Phone Wolf Form, charged with steel claws. Raven knocked the two away and, relying on her own combat experience, withstood the legendary assassin's attack.

It has to be said that after getting used to slacking off remotely, it's a good experience to occasionally engage in close combat and relive those old days.

"Inch-force—"

Fortunately, with the help of Rabbit Full Bottle's agility, he quickly approached and began to gather power in his right fist.

"Open the heavens!"

Using the power of the Tank Bottle, Raven unleashed a punch that combined armor performance with martial arts techniques. Raven, disregarding Bronya's attack, quickly pressed down on the wrench of the Grip Driver at her waist to charge her ultimate move.

Faced with the opponent's powerful punch, Raven returned the punch with his own. The two fists, each containing terrifying power, collided with a loud bang. Raven was forced back several steps, while Sachi was forced back dozens of steps.

"Is it a bit too much to just follow up a basic attack with a big one?" Xing shook his slightly aching wrist helplessly and took out the Scarlet Drill Twin Bottles. "Come on, let's do it again."

Raven was terrified and quickly waved her hands in refusal. "Hey, hey, hey, can't you guys have some manners? Did I say I wanted to fight you? You started punching and kicking me right away. If word gets out, won't that be a disgrace to the Valkyrie?"

Bronya tilted her head and looked at Raven, saying calmly, "If I kill you here, no one will know. If all else fails, I'll kill everyone in this base and blow this place up. Anyway, no one will be innocent."

Don't just say such dangerous things! Are all the pretty girls these days thinking about such dangerous things?!

Raven mentally ranted, "I can tell from our last exchange that these guys are all pretty strong. The worst one is that Kaslana seems to have regained her former form. Hmm, I guess I should just sell out my teammates."

"Go straight down this road, turn right at the second intersection, the Jackal is in the third door. I've said everything I need to say, don't come looking for trouble." The miserable worker left with those words, leaving the five people standing there staring at each other in bewilderment.

You're Grease, not Rouge. Can you please stop acting so timid?

"Is what that person said true? Could it be a trap?" Kiana was afraid that the other party was trying to trick them, but she gestured for her to look at the diagram on the wall.

Kiana couldn't help but complain, "Turn right ahead of the chief's office... Why are there such normal things here?"

P. S.: This is for the human employees who come to work here.

—The title of "invincible" cannot be uttered lightly—

Kane had put in a lot of effort and finally defeated the Gears by taking them down one by one. Just as he was about to catch his breath, he saw Raven, who wanted to go home after work, walk out of the door.

The two looked at each other, both of them completely bewildered.

"It's you, the guy who always kicks me in the face!" Upon seeing Raven in Grease Form, Kane's anger surged instantly. His back pain subsided, his legs stopped hurting, and his fists gained strength.

"It's you, kid. By the way, what's with that weird nickname?" Raven clenched his fists silently. He had originally planned to just leave, but since he had run into this silly kid by chance, he decided to teach him a lesson.

"Your partner and her original teammates are fighting inside. I was wondering why you weren't here. Turns out you're here?" Raven looked at him with feigned sympathy. "How pitiful. You were used as a temporary partner and then abandoned when your real partner arrived."

Flames flickered on the goggles on the dragon's side, and the boy's angry roar couldn't be contained even by his armor, "Shut up! Luming didn't treat me like some temporary item!"

Bang!

Raven caught a punch burning with dragon flames with one hand. The immense force left two long furrows in the ground with his feet, but the other party didn't seem to care. "Are you angry? That just means I was right. You like that girl named Chen Xilumeng, right?"

"Shut up, I have a girlfriend!"

For some reason, when this topic was brought up, Kane's anger suddenly subsided, and a hint of sadness appeared in his one-eyed dragon eye. Raven was a little surprised to see this, but soon, another powerful fist slammed into Grease's mask.

Kane used the brief burst of power to repel Raven, quickly removed the Build Driver and replaced it with the Grip Driver, switching to Jelly Dragon Form. Although he could briefly activate Cross-Z Burst Mode on his own after training by Luming, he should not use the power he had not yet fully mastered.

Seeing Kane charge forward in his Jelly Dragon Form, Raven thought of her new colleague, "Speaking of which, Cocolia uses this kind of driver now too. But Jackal said she paid some kind of price to get the ability to transform. Oh well, it has nothing to do with me."

Amidst the wreckage, two Kamen Rider, both using the Grip Driver, engaged in a fierce battle. Jackal, watching this scene through a monitor, cheered for Raven, shouting, "Right hook! No, a sweep kick! Oops, too slow!"

"You idiot! How could you get hit like that?"

"Well done! That stinky lobster's cooking is definitely no match for mine!"

"Hey, he fought back! Come on, give it your all!"

The Dog-headed Strategist, who spoke without understanding the situation, grew increasingly angry, wishing she could personally command the Raven in their operation. However, she had just discovered she'd been blocked by the Raven. "Ugh, what a bad day," she thought. "The monsters I sent out just became that little girl's full bottle again. And right after I finished my experiment, I found my door had been blasted open."

So, wasn't this kid supposed to be Xing Kaslana's follower? Where is she now?

Just as the Jackal was thinking about this problem, the sounds of fierce fighting came from outside the door.

The black-haired woman blinked in confusion, then said uncertainly, "I... I've had my house raided?"

P. S.: Bronya hacked into all the surveillance cameras along the way.

The next chapter is about the battle against Rouge. Cough, the fighting power of Kamen Rider is determined by both the user and the armor, so there is no issue of inconsistent power Honkai in this book.

In addition, regular-level Lucky-tier combatants will be making a limited-time return!

It's just that the values have been restored, and only to the normal values, which is the juvenile composite type, in the unharmed state.
