Battle Mode

Binuksan na ni Synthia ang kanyang cyber deck na hugis pencil case. Makikitang nag unfold ang 2 small screens sa kaliwa at 2 small screens sa kanan at 1 normal size transparent screen sa gitna. Makikita sa loob na meron itong keyboard sa gitna, d-pad sa upper left, thumb slide joystick sa lower left, cross circle triangle square buttons sa upper right, at thumb slide joystick sa lower right. 

Inactivate naman ni Synthia ang kanyang built-in battle mode sa kanyang android body habang sinasabing "system command... activate... battle mode's boot menu."

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "Initiating battle mode..." 

*click-click-click* Sinelect ni Synthia ang Dissable Physical Limiter.

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "Dissabling physical limiter... Physical abilities unlocked!" 

*click-click, click* Sinelect naman ni Synthia ang physical Enhancement. 

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "Initiating physical ability enhancer... Initiated! Physical enhancer are now ready to activate". 

*click-click, click-click, click* pinili ni Synthia ang Armor Transformation, Save to Custom1, at Exit Boot and Activate. 

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "Do you want to use auto pilot?" 

Sumagot naman si Synthia at sinabing "no need."

[system voice in Synthia's syber deck]: "Affirmative! Saving customized battle mode settings... Saved! Transforming into armored mech..." 

Unti-unting nag transform ang katawan ni Synthia, hinigop papasok ng kanyang katawan ang kanyang artificial skin. Nagtransform ang balat ni Synthia into a white condensed tungsten metals na may blue lines pwera lang sa kanyang muka. 

Nagkaroon sya ng umiilaw na 4 pointed star sa gitna ng kanyang dibdib. Gawa ito sa diamond at sa likod nito ay makikita ang kanyang source of power, or ang kanyang core na ang tawag ay photon energy core. 

Lumiwanag pa lalo ang ilaw sa kanyang dibdib at umilaw ang blue lines pagkatapos ng transformation at nag dim ito after one second. 

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "Transformation successful, physical enhancement ready. Battle mode activated!"

Athena: "Oh by the way darling~ can you play some music? please~?" tanong niya kay Synthia in a mommy voice.

Synthia: "There you go again..." sagot nya... in a cold voice... as always.

Athena: "Please~?.. darling?... I wanna listen to music while fighting~" sabi nya in a nagmamakaawang mommy voice habang nakangiti.

Synthia: "yeah, yeah... sure... So what song?" tanong ni Synthia.

Athena: "Backlight by Ado... thanks darling~" sagot ni Athena at kumindat.

Synthia: "System command, link command, play music... Backlight... link to Athena's smart shades" sabi ni Synthia.

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "now playing". Nag play ang music at sinimulan na nila ang pagbisita sa palace.

*music playing [0:00 - 0:26]*

"Let the battle... begin~" sabi ni Athena. 

Tumakbo si Athena papuntang gate ng palace habang inihagis naman ni Synthia ang kanyang 5 bronze coins, 3 silver coins, at 1 gold coin na kasing laki ng olympic medal. 

"System command multiple!... Activate Dragonflies (photon drones), activate Silver Swarm (explosive drones), activate Golden Goose (hacker drone)... Initiate!" mabilis na sinabi ni Synthia.

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "initiating..."

Nag transform ang 5 bronze coins into 5 photon drones, nag transform naman ang 3 silver coins into explosive drones, at nag transform ang gold coin sa isang mukang normal na drone, lahat ito ay sabay sabay at mabilis nag transform. At nang matapos na, narinig ni Synthia ang word na...

[system voice in Synthia's cyber deck]: "initiated!"
