Protecting the Neural Tree

The Neural Tree is a type of binary tree where its nodes are composed of neurons. It has lived in the depths of the sea for millions of years. It provides knowledge and answers to the most intricate questions of life. Its roots continuously absorb knowledge from the seafloor and its long and strong stems provide shelter to many marine organisms.

Everything was going on with peace and tranquility until one day a group of neuruptors arrived and started to attack the Neural Tree. Neuruptors are poisonous-plasma-made creatures whose only purpose is to disrupt the neural functions of the tree. They can shoot plasma flares that adhere to the tree causing memory loss and confusion and thus, making it generate erroneous predictions.

Dr. Nepturo was swimming as usual in the area when suddenly, he spotted one of the neuruptors approaching. As the leader of the Science-Fish-Team (SFT), he called the four agents that act under his guidance to come to the rescue. The first to arrive was Sotaco who is the smallest of the team but at the same time, the fastest. He arrived piloting the aquadome and with one shot, he destroyed one of the neuruptors.

Second to arrive, were the twins Lunia and Corsatu. Lunia emits an electric shock to stop one of the creatures while Corsatu uses his bionic fin to repel the plasma shot at the tree. He lost his fin in one of the many battles he has fought and built himself a robotic one.

Finally, Juptano arrived at the scene. Juptano is the strongest of the team. After apologizing for being late (he was finishing his breakfast), he quickly swam towards the excavator that was breaking the roots of the tree. The battle was becoming fierce and exhausting and more neuruptors started to arrive. How much longer will the Science-Fish-Team be able to sustain the battle?
