"What does it look like?! It's a goddamn security robot! You think I want to die or something, huh?!"
Staying away from the big confrontation, the police officer made his way to the main elevator, Perona presumably in tow. The elevator had closed behind the robot and Goto pressed the button to try to get it to open.
It didn't.
"What the hell?!" Goto shouted, kicking the elevator door in vain. He took out a small device with a wire and jammed the wire into a small hole near the elevator button. A little screen lit up.
import itertools
int main() {
res = itertools.permutations('abc',3); // 3 is the length of your result.
for i in res:
print ''.join(i);
return 0;
}
Primitive code, but that was the default, and Goto was no hacker or anything. He ran it and...
Failed.
"Shit!" Once more, Goto kicked the door. The door still didn't open. "They have to be using permutations of a, b, and c, so what the hell's the problem?!" Why anyone would use have such a strange limit nobody knew, but it didn't matter for now.
Looked like they were stuck until someone could either hack or force their way into the elevator. And with the guard robot fight going on not far away at all, they'd best figure it out quickly. Goto needed some help with the code, or advice on what he needed to fix in it.
"You got it!"
As the others' identities were revealed, so was Karin's. But she'd known it for some time now. Tekkou somehow formed around Karin's, or Misao's, fists as she rushed towards the robot to keep it busy.
Only to attempt to kick the robot, rendering the tekkou more or less pointless.
It rather easily evaded a few of her kicks, simply shifting slightly from side to side as she jumped at it.
"Huff...huff... Okay then, big guy, how about this?!"
Swinging her leg in an arc, she threw a roundhouse kick at it so it couldn't simply shift away. She finally managed to land a kick on the robot, only for it to simply stand there afterwards.
"Eh...heh heh!"
Well karate could only take her so far, right? After laughing nervously, she whipped out the pistol she had earlier, pointed it and fired.
She dropped the pistol as she covered her ears. So loud! But by sheer luck she'd managed to actually hit the guard. However, it didn't seem any more effective than the kick, simply ricocheting off the armor. Well crap.
Its eyes lighting up, the robot separated its lance into two pieces.
It lashed out at Misao, who was previously Karin, at a high speed. Too fast for her to dodge.
"Idiot!"
The woman with the umbrella ran and smacked her out of the way, keeping a safe distance from the blade itself with her umbrella. But unfortunately, that was now two blades. With a second stroke, the guard impaled the older woman.
It raised her up before kicking her sharply, sending her flying off its separated lance before rejoining the two halves.
Misao watched in shock as the woman who saved her was tossed to the side. Was she dead? No human could be impaled through the chest and still be alright. The girl slowly stood up, tightening her fists. Her usually cheery demeanor gone, she immediately rushed at the robot and slammed her fists repeatedly into the bot. Aiming at the stomach area, which seemed less armored, a few times before finishing with a punch to the robot's chin. Or its equivalent, anyway.
But it was still useless. Unmoved, the robot knocked her to the side with one arm, sending her flying into the wall. It turned to her and began to charge some sort of attack.
On the bright side, its attention was diverted for now, having turned away from Kana, or Akane to attack Misao.
