19th AZI4 Campaign

JAV Station NightOps

The 19th AZI4 Campaign was a special annual mission members of the NightOps participated in for several weeks, in which the students used their acquired knowledge of NightOps combat to fight against other NightOp academies, the 19th one being the NightOps of the JAV Station.

Mainly because of AZI4's high concentration of talented students and including the best upperclassmen the NightOp had ever had, AZI4 was able to win over the JAV Station, despite having smaller numbers. This Campaign also came with zero deaths for both sides, despite the severity of injuries inflicted on all members.

## Preparations

While AZI4 Night Ops had spent the entire school year so far training, they did not actually start preparing for the Campaign until there were 3 weeks left, while the JAV Station was preparing all year to fight against AZI4.

## Battles

### Albera Divison

Due to the small numbers of AZI4's NightOps against the large Albera of JAV, Jerso recruited 3 experienced Albera members of the DayCorps. While the NightOps Albera originally intended to play a support role in the fight, they were ambushed by the JAV Albera, which was expected by Rao.

#### Senior AZI4 vs. JAV Albera

Due to the high notoriety Rao, Yino, and Athena drew from previous battles, a majority of the JAV Albera targeted them. Unfazed, Yino and Athena went to work at once, using short blades laced with sedatives to quickly eliminate 6 students armed with Cynos before the rest of the enemy division began to fall back.

#### Aaron vs. Meian

Aaron was hit by a large shard in his head, instantly disabling his left eye and sending him flying into several buildings away. Stunned, he tries to focus on the misson, as a Lightning Eye begins to form in his right eye. He was soon chased by Meian, itching for a fair fight between them. Meian launches a Reaper solution toward Aaron while unsheathing his short blade, forcing Aaron to dodge by dashing through the wave of white phosphorus, which burns him and makes the pain in his eye even worse. To get back at his former classmate, Aaron pulls along a distant piece of wires toward Meian, which pierces him right in the leg, which causes him to crash down. As Meian tries to get up, Aaron activates a hidden spike trap he had left behind, stabbing Meian in the legs and groin, immobilizing him. Enraged, Meian begins to charge an Instant Death Blast. Realizing what's happening, Aaron tries to get up to resist the attack, though as soon as Aaron's Lightning Eye makes eye contact with Meian, the Instant Death Blast erupts in Meian's head, severely damaging him as he grabs his head in pain, while Aaron's Lightning Eye deactivates and becomes extremely sensitive, forcing Aaron to close it.

Effectively blind, Aaron is forced to rely on his Precognition Sense, surprised that his white eye was able to completely deflect Meian's signature attack. Meian is surprised as well, realizing the true extent of Aaron's family genetics, and feeling cheated fighting a guy with the best genes in the entire sector. Meian decides to throw his Explosive syrivo and Spinning syrivo at Aaron, making him roll away from the explosive to a nearby large debris. Aaron puts up his damaged Cyno to block the Spinning syrivo, but the weapon spins around the shield and begins to dart toward Aaron's chest. In a panic, Aaron uses Outward NEX to blast the syrivo away, and it pulls his Amplifier.

Meian realizes that he won't be able to recover fast enough from the failed psychic attack to use any more psychic abilities, and prepares for melee combat, as he uses his short blade to hack away at the spike trap, but struggles to get up and move. Sensing this, Aaron, ejects the shard from his head to let it regenerate, and arms himself with his TRICK syrivo and Explosive syrivo, as he then emerges from his cover and charges at Meian. Aaron opens his inflamed right eye a little bit to throw his explosive in Meian's direction, before shutting back immediately. Meian manages to catch the explosive and points it away from him, though nothing happens for a few moments. Meian begins to toss it away to get into a knife fight with Aaron, though as soon as he lets it go, the syrivo explodes and tosses Meian away. This allows Aaron's left eye to regenerate enough to allow him to see, as he then activates Fireball fluid with his TRICK. He draws in the explosive cloud into his fireball to make it stronger, then leaping toward Meian in the air. Noticing this, Meian prepares to stab Aaron's open guard - no more tricks. To Meian's surprise, Aaron lets himself get stabbed in the in the upper chest, as he jams his forearm into Meian's neck, then using the fireball to propel them to the ground. Meian begins to cough out blood, as Aaron pins him down and begins to perform a neck crank on him. Meian uses his free arm to grab his Slicing syrivo to slice Aaron's neck, though Aaron manages to catch his arm just as the knife slices into his neck.

Aaron begins to struggle to crack Meian's neck, as the knife begins to travel deeper into his neck, and the poison slowly begins to sedate him, while Meian slowly starts losing consciousness from the knockback and loss of blood flow. Both are determined to keep on fighting,
