Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 14, H.O.T.D 2

In the dead of night on the third day of the mission, in the Takagi manor where Team Japan was residing in was currently bustling with activity where most people in the city were asleep at this time of day. Tonight was the night the military and political purge of Tokonosu City would commence. To swiftly bring unity to the city before the 3 million strong massive legion of zombies arrived, everyone was hasty making preparations to take out the cancerous elements of the city. Three of the 5 Military Heads and the Mayor of Tokonosu City who they were conspiring with. The goal was not the complete elimination of their forces in all entirely, but to just cut off the heads of the organizations and those loyal and complicate in their treachery and general wrongdoings, and absorb what remained of their manpower and resources.

Such an operation shouldn't have to be rushed, but Souichiro Takagi had long since prepared for the day when he would purge these vile elements of power who he had invited in and constructed plans to get rid of them at a moments notice. He despised them all for their evil actions and for being the one for allowing them in, but hoping he could turn them around to his way of thinking he was tolerant of them at first. It was perhaps his only weakness as a leader to want to believe in his fellow man would do he right thing when it was a time to come together during the apocalypse, but such hesitation had allowed his fellow countrymen, no enemies, to take power and abuse it within the organization he built. And now that the mayor's and three of the 5 Military Heads' treachery has come to light, neither Souichiro or his wife Yuriko Takagi standing by his side would allow them to do as they please. No negotiations and no prisoners. Tonight the moon above was hidden by clouds, so tonight was the perfect time to launch a night attack.

Shin: (They really have it all planned out. It'll be a simultaneous attack, so none will be able to request reinforcements or warn their comrades. Where our targets will be, who's protecting them and how many, the battle potential each target has and personal details as well. They also took note of where their families will be so they wouldn't be caught up in the chaos which is surprising, but nice. Yue Zhong could take a ethics class from the Takagi's and maybe that way so many of his initial fans wouldn't have dropped the story to bitch and complain about if his every action was justifiable, inexcusable, or even necessary in the first place, but that's not important now. All that's left is to incorporate Team Japan's battle potential into the plan, but more specifically hers. Her existence with what she can do changes everything about our approach!)

As I thought this, I looked to the side where a gathering of officers who were surrounding a young girl in her mid-teens. This girl was Hikari, and was currently hard at work working on a laptop as her fingers blazed across the keyboard. She didn't have an air of military might about her, but no one around was looking down at her because of her age or because she was an outsider. The reason was she was the key to increasing this operation's efficiency by many folds. For one, once we revealed Hikari's ability of a Psyche Force/Persona user and what exactly that meant, everyone was shocked. Psyche Force Scan, which could see through all structures and track any person's position from miles and miles away, bypasses all forms of modern security and what those who knew of the existence Enhancers and Evolvers could prepare for. And Soul Link, which could connect the minds of up to four people who could then secretly talk with one another and share vision was just as frightening a spying tool. It was a shame that Hikari could not connect an infinite amount of minds which could create the ultimate espionage ring in history and allow this operation to all but not succeed, yet her talents did not end here.

Before even entering God's Dimension Hikari was an internationally wanted hacker genius, and now had access to this dimension's infinite resources and information. Saki, before she passed away, had made Hikari countless military grade computers and she spent her free time creating hacking programs in secret since the events of "Btooom". She underestimated Tyrannos Japan's technological ability to respond to her hacking and almost got herself and others killed, so not wanting to repeat the same mistake twice, she had prepared herself for the next time her talents could be of use. Unfortunately Hikari had to wait a whole four mission for the chance to prove herself, but now was that time. She installed onto multiple Flash Drives hacking tools created from technology and knowledge that only someone from God's Dimension had access to. They weren't at the level of true sci-fi hacking tools just yet, but she had the confidence to break into any military, national, or advance cooperation without being caught in a modern timeline.

Hikari: "Hahahaha! What a piece of junk! They might as well as not get back up and running the security cameras, relying on their own eyes and ears. A third rate hacker could have broken into their systems. Did most of the smart people who should have told them to make their security systems a closed system from the outside die, or after an apocalypse they all let their guard down against electronic warfare? Whatever the case may be... Naive!... And we're done! There you have it people. I uploaded a link on the manor's home system which will give you full access to their surveillance feeds installed around and inside their homes."

All Staff Officers: "Wow!!!"

The officers around her praised Hikari and she was enjoying every second of it. After the "Btooom" Mission Team Japan was given two mission where she couldn't showcase her talents. She might have been able to do so in the modern/light sci-fi world of Dangan Ronpa, but she was brain controlled by the Guide and never had the chance to help. In a modern or sci-fi setting she can finally display her talents as a hacker and be useful, so she was quite excited and confident in herself.

Shin: "Her excited smile... is cute. Hikari is super cute when she's not bashing me verbally, but the contrast makes her even more cute and attractive. This is a real life Tsundere! No wonder spineless protagonist put up with them... I wonder if this is a bad time to kiss her and-"

Aqua: "It is you good for nothing terminally ill otaku! Come on! Hikari is finished with her hacking, so it's time. The others are waiting to go to the last meeting before we set out."

Aqua then dragged Shin by the arm and took Hikari away from her fans praising her, and towards the meeting room where everyone is waiting. They entered the room and found the main characters, Saya's parents and their highest staff members including attack squad leaders.

Staff Officer: "Now that everyone is here we'll begin the final meeting. Supreme Commander Takagi, the floor is all yours."

Mr. Takagi: "Good. Thank you all for coming tonight. In a few minutes we'll be heading out to begin the operation, so let's go over our responsibilities one last time. I'll have my wife elaborate further."

Ms. Takagi: "Then allow me to explain. The forces of my husband and I among others will act to suppress the supporters of our main targets and maintain order in the city. Even if we cut off the heads of our opposition it'll just allow those below them the opportunity to seize their power, and so in time we'll be back here where we started, but much worse. They'll hide their malice and strike when we least suspect. We plan to strike under the darkness of the night and swiftly take out our targets, but word is sure to eventually get out. Mass riots are all but expected. We're doing this to gain order, but some people who do not now better will see this as an act to grab power. It is in a way it really is despite our best intentions, but they won't understand that we're doing this to protect the citizens for the long term. They are sure to riot, so we'll have to police the city in the aftermath calling for martial law. We have the full support of the police force, or at least the police we can trust and they are preparing themselves as we speak for the suppression, so the situation shouldn't turn to full blown anarchy. Then while this is going on-"

Saya: "It'll be our turn! Our own Walking Dead Unit and Shin's team will be the ones responsible for the elimination of our priority targets!"

Saya forcefully took over for her mother for the meeting. On the table they were sitting around she took out some diagrams for three different large complexes and the government building. These were the homes for three of the 5 Military Heads and the Mayor. These diagrams weren't for any public records or were they drawn up by a spy sent by the Takagi's. They were drawn up by Hikari in Unlocked Mode using Psyche Force Scan and Persona for greater detailed scans. These diagrams included revisions and modifications not found in public records. Hikari's Psyche Force Scan and Soul Link abilities combined could relay real-time accurate scans of an area and enemy positions, but Saya and even Jin suggested that Hikari draw them up since she couldn't connect to everyone with Soul Link at once and that in case something happens each member should know their way around.

Saya: "We have four targets total. The goal is to assassinate the leaders and those protecting him. Anyone who surrenders will be left to the few men papa is lending to us, but if they refuse to surrender kill them! Kill them without hesitation, make an example of a few, and the weak ones will be happy to be absorbed into papa's organization. Now, Shin has agreed to split his group up and mix with us, so we'll split up into smaller four teams made up for the sake of efficiency. Takashi, Shizuka-sensei, Aqua, and Shuai will attack the compound of Commander A who has the largest military might next to Papa. Saeko, Connor, Kisara, and I will attack the compound of Commander B who is so so in military might, but has cultivated many relationships to get where he is today. Shin, Hikari, Drake, Kohta and Alice will handle Commander C who possess an elite force of Enhancers, the Diamond Dogs Unit, lead by a renown Level 40 Evolver named Junpei. Last name unknown. Junpei's level might be much higher or lower than reported since this is second-hand information. This elite group of experts are combat tested and possibly second only to our Walking Dead Unit in the city, but if it's Shin leading the charge it should be fine and work out one way or another. Lastly; Rei, Jin, Drake, and Sachi will handle the Mayor. Haha, that scumbag politician lost most of his forces trying to kill us a few days ago when we wiped them out! He is in the weakest position, so we don't need to expend too much deal with him, so you don't need top combatants to help you win."

Shin: "But with that said we should move on the side of caution. Hikari will look over each battlefield and every team leader will connect to her through Soul Link with an odd one out depending on their needs. Leaders alone can ask for tactical support from Hikari and other must request such support through their leaders with a military phone. Hikari, this will be a tasking assignment. Are you up to it?"

Hikari: "Of course! I could even still act as a main combatant. But it might be better for me to support one team in full at a time. Our objective is to swiftly take out the targets, so each battle won't last long if done right. I'll disconnect the phone lines, so they can't warn one another. This way rather than four simultaneous attacks which I have to oversee, we just swiftly strike one base at a time and with me watching the battle with my full attention which is safer. If things grow chaotic in multiple locations we'll fall back to the original set up."

Shin: "That sounds good. Well do just that then."

Mr. Takagi: "Then that's all! Everyone move out and don't die in such an unimportant battle. Our true enemy is the legion of 3 million zombies who will be here any day."

Takashi: "That's right! This is just a battle to prepare for an even more important battle. I won't forgive anyone here dying for something so stupid like a political purge in the damn apocalypse! Now move out!"

With no objections everyone began to leave.
