"I'm going to go check up on Isaac. If The power supply is damaged beyond repair, we could probably take a power supply from one of the enemy's tanks at the supply base. Just contact me on my helmet's frequency.", John said to Dr. Wily as he gave him his helmet's frequency code.


He then saw Yuuka.

"Hey! I'm feeling back in my element. I'm sorry I couldn't visit. Things have been getting crazier and crazier.", John said to Yuuka.

"As for the coffee, the tea really helps. At least I think so."

"Well, even if you did visit, I would've been out." Yuuka chuckled. "Being second-in-command taxes you."
"Yuuka, anti-siege briefing is in 5 minutes!" Reimu proclaimed.
"Oh I think I can make coffee within that time." Yuuka smirked, pulling a coffee mix from her vest pocket. "Be right back!"

Daiyousei's vibrant shaking turned into gentle tremble as she sniffed and stared at HM, her hockey mask on the ground.

"I... Thank you..." Daiyousei smiled and stared HM, as if she was...

Distant explosion from the Youkai Mountain.

"Whoa!" Daiyousei gasped as she fell down on her back. "Ouch-"

"The hell was that?"
"Some sort of time-bomb mortar or something?"
"Here comes another one!"
BOOM

"Okay this is weird." EVE muttered. "I'm detecting a very trace amounts of the same energy structure from the last time he went berserk."
"You mean that virus thing?" Nitori asked.
"I'm not sure. For some reason, anything I had on my database about the vieus was terminated by another source."
"Vice Commander Mitori!" One of the Kappa defense force ran into the tavern. "We're taking heavy fire and our front line may collapse soon."
"Another wave?" Mitori groaned. "I'll take care of it. X, come with me. Rest of you, protect Nitori."
"Lady Kimehana, now might be a really good time to come out of retirement." Mitori added.
"I better get my Return-to-Duty commission payment."

John looked at Reimu and spoke.

"Okay, I'll be back real quick. I gotta go check up on Isaac, over on the Nameless Hill.", John said.

He then activated his thrusters and flew off towards the Nameless Hill.



Nameless Hill

Isaac was walking around the newly captured supply base, helping the Youkai carry the mortar shells and repairing the tanks for battle.

John landed on the ground with a thud, causing some people to look over, but they quickly got back to work.

"Isaac, how's everything going here?"

"Well, we're taking the mortars and tanks to the Youkai Mountain. Let's see how the enemy likes the business end of their own weapons.", Isaac said with a smirk on his face.

"Good to hear. We need you over a the Hakurei Shrine. There's a briefing."

Isaac turned his head to one of the people in charge and spoke.

"I gotta go to a briefing. Just keep doing what you guys are doing.", Isaac said to the second-in-command.

He then turned his head back over to John.

"Lead the way."



Hakurei Shrine

John and Isaac eventually arrived at the shrine and quickly entered.

"Did the briefing start yet?", John asked Reimu and Yuuka.

Over the Hakurei Shrine a strange robot flies over the shrine at supersonic speeds. Scouting the area. The robot continues to fly over the Shrine at this speed before coming to a complete stop. The robot is none other than Tengu Man.

"We were just getting started. Have a seat."
The table was seated: Yuuka at the center, Reimu by the right, Kanako by the left, Byakuren and Miko sitting opposite of each other, Flandre looking around the shrine curiously, and Satori carefully tendering to her third eye, which purred in delight.
"Yuyuko still missing?" Yuuka looked up. "And I assume Kaguya is sleeping in."
"Yuyuko is indeed still absent. Youmu is fixing up problems in Hakugyokurou, but she'll be available when we attack the Consumer itself." Reimu responded. "Kaguya has woken up and is coming. Eirin is commanding the base over by Nameless Hill."
"What about Remilia?" Yuuka asked Flandre.
"Big sis took Sakuya and went to my house. She said they will join us from there." Flandre answered.
"Good girl." Yuuka smiled, tossing a candy to Flandre, who eagerly seized it. "That's the attendance. Now, the mission."

John and Isaac sat down at the table.

"Okay, let's start then.", John said in a calm tone.

John was used to aliens trying to wipe out the human race, so he seemed absolutely calm and unstressed.

"Roger!" Said X as Mitori called for him to follow her. However he stops and looks at Zero. "Take care Zero..." He said as he dashes off to go assist in protecting the front line.


As Zero laid on the table he kept on having odd dreams"of someone telling him to "wake up" and to "unleash you're true power" However Zero didn't even wake up. It's like his systems have literally just gone... literally it's like his systems aren't even in him anymore for some reason. Like they were removed from him.

Wily quickly began work on repairing his machine, he also called all of his Robot Masters as well as an entire army of Met's and Sniper Joes.

"As you all already know-" Yuuka started, but was interruptd when the door opened, revealing a royal lady with long black hair and silk dress.
"I'm sorry, I overslept." Kaguya giggled as she took her seat. "Carry on."
"Right. Anyway, we're going to attack from all four cardinal locations. Reimu takes the North. Remilia, who will be joining us once we get to the mountain, will push from the West. Kaguya, you can attack from the South, and I will take the West."
"John, you will gather all Outside World helper and hit from the center. If you go to SDM, LuGaf has already established a secret portal to the Dark Blowhole. Take the portal and launch a surprise attack from their center."

"Understood. On a sidenote, Isaac and his group captured the Nameless Hill and got us some new weapons, the Nucleoid's mortars and tanks. What should we do with those?", John asked.

"Doesn't Renko and Maribel have an army of human from the village that can run vehicles?" Yuuka asked Reimu.
"Yeah, they do. They can be escorted to Nameless Hill by Medicine: her poison can dispel the poisonous atmosphere there." Reimu answered.
"Okay. John, tell Isaac to carry as much supplies as possible to the West of Youkai Mountain, where most of the fight will occur." Yuuka ordered.

"I'm already on it.", Isaac said as he quickly exited the room and flew off at Mach 6, towards the Nameless Hill.

"Okay, since we're going to be right in the middle of their entire army, I need details on what we're up against. From there, we can attack valuable targets and do more damage to their army.", John said.

"They have... 30 million Grunts, 2 million specialized grunts, 5000 Admirals, and 5 Generals, as well as 100,000 Demolishers, a battalion of 50,000 Legions, and 20,000 vehicles. They have most fortifications on the border, and that's why you're attackin fron the inside while we focus on breaking their shell." Reimu handed John a diagram of the siege position: a circular ring around the mountain that had little nooks and crannies scribbled all over the place.
"The reason why Youkai Mountain has not fallen is because of the magnificent natural defense and the Kappa force. However, I heard from Mitori that hey were about to be pushed back. So we are attacking their inner layer to halt their siege while liberating the Kappa and the Tengu to join our force."
Yuuka added.

John didn't like those numbers.

He remembered that he almost died from that scorpion.

What if those things pop up again?

Then again, this was a suicide mission in every sense of the word.

"We'll take out as many as we can.", John said in a calm tone.

"Just in case you need to know how far we broke into their outer shell," Yuuka handed John four cards. "You can check with those. When the person on the card comes close to you, it'll start getting hot. It won't burn you, don't worry."

[S121]

Hakurei Shrine

"Okay. As for the mission, when do we start?", John asked as he received the cards.

John wanted to know how much time they had left to prepare.
