Chapter 48: Holding The Fort.

"Seems like so far at the moment the Dragon's have fallen and the Angels had defended successfully with the help of both Flugre and Human. All that is left for Raizel to attack is us, and our Kurai Kyu . In ETA 2 weeks and 3 days he will attack us full force, as so we must prepare. Other than that, Raizel has succesfully obtained Kagayaku Kyu , and has suffered a heavy loss at the hands of a general, Jennifer Gratenheim, heir of the Hybrid family Gratenheim. Other than that, nothing else to report, except that a strange human, who goes by the name of Johnny Wellington has emerged and has power exceeding Diablo's power level. " he said under the intercom. "Shit. This isn't that bad, but the problem is the fact the awaited day is about to arise, and master still has not awakened. If Raizel gets ahold of Kurai Kyu, we all will be plunged into darkness. Okay, Nium, start preparing Defense, Level 8-2.0.1.32 !" and Nium, over the intercom seemed surprised. "Whaaaat?! Level 8-2.0.1.32 ? That is still a prototype! It is very dangerous and its backlash can be overwhelming." I didn't care. "I, Skiean, the Secretary of the Demon Lord, command you to do what I say! We can't afford a breach!"

The Demon's have been very advanced, ever since the advent of the new Demon Lord, Satan, who has currently been in slumber 25 years after God. We have exceeded even the comprehension of Humans when it comes to technology, and we can't use technology with others, as they are still in primitive states. I called Hazen. "Hello! You there Hazen?" the connection was weak. "Y..e... you... need... ramen?" and I was confused. We had a filter even if it was a weak connection, but the filter couldn't understand anything he was saying, and this is due to us being in seperate dimensions and all that crud. Because of this, the connection is very weak, but we managed to find a way , using the new ray we found, which can travel through 'Void' , something even more empty than vacuum. As I tried to understand him, I realized he said, 'Yes, do you need anything?' but apparently the filter changed it to ramen, for some odd reason. "Is the connection bad there?" I asked, and then I heard it clear. "No, just had a bit of problems in hacking your Wifi , that's about it. We are outside your office, can you please let us in?" and I was confused even more. 

"W...wha? Why are you here?" I said, opening the door. "Welcome, To Skien~Dono Humble Abode," an intercom said, in the voice of Satan. I couldn't bear it, and I fell, listening to his sexy voice. "Okay, that is creepy now." I stood up to see them right in front of me. "So, what do you want from me? Why are you here in the first place?" and the boy answered in Hazen's stead. "Well, after Raizel left with Kagayaku Kyu, we supposed he was going for Kurai Kyu next, and since we knew it was here, we simply hijacked your systems and came here. But let me tell you, the security here is tight. If it was anyone else, except Trinity , this place would be impenetrable, but I'm sorry to tell you , but I have a major in hacking, so it was easy, no simple task, but easy nonetheless. Good security, I'm hoping this Level 8-2.0.1.32 is as secure as it is. Oh, let me tell you that Raizel works by brute force, so any hi-tech security won't help you that much, so I suggest going with the invisible camoflauge, well, I'll explain to you in detail my plan later, before Hui,Hazen, and Juni die of boredom." and I was thoroughly impressed, he knew what he was talking about. "Okay, so that still doesn't understand why you intruded my place."

"Oh, that is simple. Hazen only knows you, as he already lost all the trust of other Demons. Even they tried to kill us while we came here, so if you see some bodies on the floor, I'm sorry, but let me tell you they aren't dead." man this boy is cold-blooded , and Hazen seemed like he understood nothing, like usual. But I was wrong, apparently, as he then came up towards me, and said, "Yes, so, Skiean, will you help us with this? Just stop him from getting Kurai Kyu is all we need you to do, as it seems like you already have some Pure-Mutant's with you guys." and even he had his knowledge straight. "Satan~Dono, Kami~Sama, you need to know how your disciples are doing," I said, to myself, than took them to there quarters, so that me and the boy could discuss strategy, I trust in him. "Oh, and Hazen, I noticed you have been grounded from your phone, so heres a new one, The SX-09.M , a new version, decked with 10 times more things you're previous phone had," and his eyes turned into stars, and snagged the phone from my hands, before I can tell him anything. He pouted, in an angry way. "Whats the password, Skiean~San?" and I sighed, and took the phone again, showing him how to unlock it.

"Okay, so what's your plan er...?" , "Johnny, Johnny Wellington." so this was the infamous Johnny Wellington. He then went full nerd mode, and even I barely understood what he was about to say. "Okay, as I've noticed in the blue prints, Level 8-2.0.1.32, I'll just call it L8 , is very complex, but I understand it, and I'll tell you its weaknesses right now and how to fix them when fighting against Raizel. Now, this is where I need you to listen closely. Before anything happens, for you to trust me , because I can tell from your eyes you do not, take a full scan of me right now, use your pills or truth serum whatever, you'll see I'm not working with them, anyways that would be after I explain, because the backlash and side-effects would probably make me confused as hell for a while. So, please listen closely." 

I knew I was in a bad position, man I should've joined them. Hui and Juni went to sleep, but I can still hear Hazen tapping his screen. "Okay listen to me closely. When you go into Satania, you will notice that , in L8's complex diagrams, there is 3 passages to go. North, East, and West, as you arrive from South, the rest is made from heavily thick walls that are solid, which would be pointless to break through, Trinity would understand this, and tell them to most likely split up into 3 teams, but than again, everything I think she does , she does the opposite, but due to L8's structure, she can't really do anything else, besides pop here by destroying the 100km worth of titanium wall. After that, She will find out that N,E, and W will have gates, but to be safe, she would have a general in each direction, and she would be with Michael, her younger brother. Raizel would be sent North, because he likes marching forwards,  Michael and Trinity will go East, as that is the closest to North, and Jennifer will go West. Defeating Jennifer will be the easiest out of the three teams, as she is crazy for fighting, and is both Sadistic and Masochistic, this makes her a worthy opponent, but also an easy one at that. Now listen , while I tell you how we defeat her in particular." and I was ready.

I opened my phone for a second, and saw many messages from Nium, regarding that his ETA was wrong, and that Raizel would be here by 2 days , I decided to take the intiative and told him. "Okay, that will be a problem, but no matter, we need 6 hours tops to explain this to others, and since you use robots mainly, I can help you with the coding. Okay, so as I said, how to kill Jennifer. Since she will be in the west sector, when she trys to bust open the door, I imagine you will have a motion sensor, what does that do?" and I answered the simple question. "The camera then shoots a laser at point blank range, and when she touches it, she gets bugged with a tracker, as it has a layer of the tracker which doesn't stick at first, but sticks at cloth or skin. Once the skin cells start dieing, it stops shooting, so it ensures a kill." and he seemed displeased.

"That just won't do. Jennifer is a regeneration - type. Her Hybrid favors her ability to survive, so this laser idea will do nothing at all, if anything, it will simply tickle her , nothing more, and will make her more angry, kind of like a booster I would say. So, lets do something simple. When she gets bugged with the tracker, we have her icon pop up on us with a red dot on this ... screen. Under the door, in the first 100 meters, we will have a drop so that she will fall. After that, we will make her go to a single pathway and we will have her bugged to know her location. While she is there, we will use a sawblade to cut her limbs, as the pain would be intense, and it'll takae about 2 minutes to regenerate. We will continue doing this as she walks through the path. To make sure she doesn't climb back up, lubricate the walls with tar , and make the drop atleast 2 kilometers deep, close to Satania's core, which would also make her thoughts weak. After that, as she continue walking the 100 meter long path of blades, she will probably come out without atleast a leg and arm, which is plenty. We then have her activate a tripwire which brings in a bot, which is meant to simply cut off the limbs, then, about 5 minutes into the battle with the bot, I want you to bring manual labour, and this labour is meant to simply restrain her, with ice, cyrogenic technology, drugs, whatever it takes, than bring her into the prison cell, and after every hour of her waking up, drug her again, so that she falls asleep, by then I'll find out about a way to take care of her." he went into quite some detail in this. I took all this to account, and asked Nium to start changing the coding to what he said, thus, Level 8-2.0.1.33 was born.

"Now that one side is gone, we have to worry about North and East. Let me first explain how to take care of Hazen, as Trinity would be the hardest. What traps are set up on the North side, if they bust the door?" and that too, was a simple question. "Well, since we thought it was going to be where most people are to go, we set it up so that when the wall is damaged, or the security tampered with, from the roof two V9 Bo-2 (Newest Prototype of Bots) come down , and have the parameters to kill anyone with Particle X-09 on them, which is the tracker. We had simulations, and no Demon yet have been able to kill them, which make them very helpful." and he nodded in disagreement.

"That won't do, either. Raizel is more of the forceful type, although he does have some brains, he would know that it there is some security on it , so he would be prepared for the worst, but since he isn't that smart, he would still bust the door, but will be prepared. Most likely the first thing he would do after hitting the wall is back up, to make sure there isn't any floor traps, which makes him different from Jennifer, who has lost her mind after taking in the drug and becoming fully aware of her Hybrid abilities. Since he is prepared, we can't use the robots, and a floor trap will be useless, we either have to fully code in a new trap, or use the laser, which would probably be the best bet, the latter that is. Since Raizel, although very keen, will still be surprised from a simple attack like that. He would most look around everywhere except the camera, because that would attract attention. We will manage one shot with the laser cannon, but then he will be fully aware, and it will lose its purpose as well, so, we will have to make a totally new code, and this is my proposal. What we are to do is when he first enters the pathway, we will make it so it slowly shrinks in length, like walls closing him in and his army, which will concentrate it into a certain point. After that, when he activates the traps via tracker and sensor, we will use the laser plan, but rather than it shooting a laser, we will first encase the small place with bulletproof glass, than shoot an array of fire-infused Mei Bullets. This will wipe out most of the reapers leaving him and about 50 or so alive. We then put a small grenade which will kill the rest, leaving only Hazen. Now that his guard is fully up, no more trick will work on him, so we will simply call  V9 Bo-2 , and use them to finish him off. Although I'm positive it will stall him only, it will give us enough time to eliminate the other 2 teams, leaving only him to worry about. That is about all traps can do, the rest will be accomplished by both me and Hazen, you and your others will pick off the others from East and West, and I'll have Hui and Juni ready for the very 2nd option that Trinity could do, which is dig her way through the wall, which is most likely what she will do, knowing her ideals. Even I haven't been able to outwit her ." and I couldn't help but seem angry. He was talking like a monster, I could barely comprehend what he was saying, but then he gave me a piece of paper. "Well, it seems like you can't understand me, so I wrote everything here, that will make it more easy for you , anyways. Everything I said before is also written here." and I fell.

I then stood up, grabbed the laptop, and smashed it directly onto his head, cracking the laptop in half. "Baka! Why didn't you tell me that before? It would have been much easier to begin with," and he shrugged. "I forgot." This was the infamous Johnny Wellington, the human who has changed so many things, first the Flugre, and now saving the Angels.  I then walked out of my office, and went to grab a cup of joe. I checked my watch. I spat the coffee that was in my mouth. "Its 3:00 AM?!" and I ran back into my office, and saw him sleeping on the ground, because it didn't really have any other comfortable place. "My god, atleast sleep correctly." I then called out a mattress ,blanket, and pillow, and placed the mattress under him, the pillow under his head, and blanket over him. "Why am I even doing this... he ran into here to begin with," but he was cute while sleeping. I closed the lights and left the room. I then checked up on Hazen, and it seemed like Hui and Juni were sleeping together on the bed, and Hazen was on the chair, still looking into his phone, laughing. "Sheesh, sleep will you?" and his phone died instantly, because I sapped out the remaining battery life. "What?! It only had 5%! The hell did you do?" and he went to sleep instantly.

Nium and the others were still working hard. Nium just continued sipping his tea, sending code to the bots which are making Level 8-2.0.1.33 . I handed him the paper. "Here is all the parameters I want to be made. If you feel tired, you can do this tomorrow, don't over work yourself." and he showed a smile. "Thank ... you... Skiean ~ Senpai!" and he fell asleep on his desk, spilling his coffee. "Man, is everyone sleeping now?" and I decided to got to sleep today, there was nothing else to do, to begin with.

I then walked out of the control room, and saw someone looking at me directly, with a big smile on her face. "Man, that was easier than I imagined. Anyways, Skiean, I'm not working with the Reapers, but I must tell you something, I despise you as well." and this person charged towards me, in this situation, in the middle of the night. I deflected her shot, and then , when she tried to hit me again, I did one simple thing. "0.2.11.3 , SiFluk." was all I said, and I was behind her and got a clean strike on her back, and she fell. Man, weird things keep on happening. The weirdest was that she broke in, without setting up any traps, but then I remembered this kind of thing had already happened. This person had long blue hair, with sapphire blue eyes, and was wearing contacts. I dragged her into the confinement room, but when her body was in front of the light, it dissapated. "Weird... weird indeed. Quite an adverse situation we are in." I said, while walking back towards my room, this time on my guard, to make sure no one will come and strike at me. No one did, thankfully. 

I then reached to my room, and when I opened the light, I saw a female already sleeping there, and she was a bit cute looking, stern too. She murmered something which I couldn't hear, but when I came close to her, she said, "His rift is to small, please, let me stay here." Apparently she was awake. "Who... are you?" and when I saw her face, I knew who it was that instant. "Oh, hello there, Skiean~Kohai. How are you doing? Let me sleep with you, okay?" and I was shocked. How was she here? Wasn't she stuck in the Cyrogenic Dimension? "Mikasa~Senpai! What are you doing here!"
