Part 9: The Infiltration
Our mission probably requires a lot of fire power, but I knew it will lead us to being killed at an instant. What we need to do is to find a more subtle way in besides knocking politely at the door.
I landed my ship a bit further from the building so it won't be seen. When I, shall I say, 'parked' my ship, I began to use my gun as a schematics insight to show me all the components and security of the building.
"Ok", I said. "According to the schematics, there's an air duct 20 feet left of the big double sensor doors."
"Big double sensor doors?!", DJ Thunder exclaimed. "What is this? Some kind of Super Super Market?!"
"It appears to be for ships or vehicles entering in or out", I said. "But we can't get in there because it has auto sensors only for qualified factions, like their own. But they apparently left an air duct as an alternative way in."
"Puh", DJ Thunder said arrogantly. "The only ships that can fit in that are my action figured ships."
"Ok guys", I began to finish. "We are going to have to go up the mountain way. I know it looks hard, but we need to get up there in a hurry."
"Got it.", Phoenix said.
"Affirmative conclusion to the objective, sir", Black said.
"Why not go up an elevator or something?", DJ Thunder said in disappointment.
We looked at him with a dull stare, but we began to proceed up the mountain. It felt like 3 miles up, which it weren't obviously, but we Miis are capable of infinite energy (not counting the bike race in Wii Sports Resort). But all that we need that's more important is to live in a happy world again, even if it sacrifices us all.
After all that climbing, we made it. DJ Thunder pretty much wanted a better way in, like rock and rolling up there, whipping up a storm on the MegaMicros. We looked from bottom to top at the building, looking like a giant base and from the looks of it, it seems to be over 5 stories high. We awed at it, but we were interrupted by computer noises coming out of the double sensor doors. We quickly and quietly went behind the wall that's about 13 feet from the corner they are peeking from to the air duct.
"Area scanner, proceed", one of them said.
The scanner was on top of the humanoid MegaMicro's head, turning around, beaming a green colored laser grid, scanning the area.
"Scan complete", he said. "Area secured. Activate security sentry drones."
Suddenly, some humanoid and one flying scanner drones came From the entrance. There were four humanoid drones starting to go on each corner of the landing base and the flying drone in the middle. Surprisingly, the flying drone's scanner camera was equal to the vision of a llama; having a circular camera along its body. But I knew we had to sneak by those drones...somehow.
"Guys", I began to whisper in a puzzled state, "we got bogeys on each corner and a flying drone enhanced with an all-around camera interface."
"That's gonna be a pretty big problem", Phoenix whispered.
"Well, we tried", said DJ Thunder in fast text. "Well I better get home, play games, live right, blah blah blah. Bye bye-"
"Hold it, DJ", Black said, grabbing DJ Thunder. "You know we gotta save the Mii World. There's always a way through this."
"Any ideas, E-Genius?", Phoenix said. "E-Genius? Where are you?"
Suddenly, I was climbing on the base's ladder you see that's hard to reach. I had a splendid idea. The idea was to shoot grenades at a very far distance. I knew the grenade won't last long, so I had to be quick about it.
I shot a grenade that caught all eyes except the flying drone. The other drones ran frantically to shoot at the grenade...strangely. Now, the flying drone. My next phase was to use another favorite weapon of mine, the Stealth Burst. It was perfect because the drone has no brains on seeing the stealthily missile, hence the name Stealth Burst.
I shot at the drone, and thankfully, no one heard it. Reason being is that the missile has an audio mechanic that the drones can't record. I gave the three partners of mine the all clear signal. They dashed real quick while the grenade kept the drones occupied. Black opened the air duct to let Phoenix and DJ Thunder in. I jumped down and went in as well. Right when we closed the air duct, the grenade exploded, which knocked the drones unconsciously.
No one knew we were here. When the drones wake up, they will only find out it was just something wrong in their circuitry. Meanwhile, we crawled in through the air vents, which felt like it was taking forever to keep crawling.
"Guys...", DJ Thunder whispered in a complained emotion, "I have a cramp in my spine..."
"Don't expect things to be so easy, DJ", Phoenix whispered.
"Any signals, E-Genius?", Black asked.
Just then, when my scanner has found the spot of the enemy leader, I pointed the direction of the enemy for the rest of my team to follow. They complied, we'll all but DJ, who was dreaming about resting on the beach, which is... well, you know how imaginations can get the better of you. Meanwhile, we watched through the air vent doors, seeing nothing but MegaMicros and computer terminals, all in a pretty big room, I'd say able to have at least 15 MegaMicros fit in the room. And then, he stood up, the person we thought had a change of heart, the one who trapped me in a group of MegaMicros at the theater, Grem. We turned on our recording mechanisms in out suits to listen in.
"What is the strategy to eliminate the Miis in this world?", Grem asked at one of the MegaMicros generals.
"Sir, calculations input that the strategy is to flank at different trails at the computerized avatars known as Miis. Victory achievement calculations: within 26 hours.", the MegaMicro general said.
"What about incoming Miis? Have they planned to infiltrate here?", Grem asked, putting his head on his fist while resting on the right chair arm.
"Successfully, we have obtained data through wireless hack programming of an infiltration mission occurring now as we speak.", the general said.
"So... where are they?", Grem asked with an eye rolling.
"Our security sentries explained that they detected no heat or computer signatures. We believe the data we obtained was a backup to the plan that the Miis have that we are unable to obtain as of yet.", the general said.
We were almost done recording for now, until one important notion sprung from the two enemies' mouths.
"How is the QR-Code Cannons and guns?"
"Obtaining status on QR-Code Guns: ... Complete.", the general said. "Obtaining status on QR-Code Cannons: ... Incomplete. Estimated completion: within 4 hours."
We were all in shock to hear the rest of this. This would mean an extreme extinction for the Mii populations of the world!
We got done recording the conversations. Now, we must take photos of these QR-Code weapons.
"Ok guys", I began to whisper, "we need to move forward to see what kind of QR Code weapons they are cooking up."
"You just had to say that...", DJ Thunder said quietly, but angrily. "I want to eat so badly..."
"DJ, you're a Mii", Phoenix said. "Miis don't starve or waste energy, and no I'm not counting the bike game on Wii Sports Resort."
"Hey, I was in Tomodachi Life, and I wanted something good to eat."
"You ate blue cheese in your sessions?", Black asked.
"Sadly, 20 every session... can't get good food these days...", DJ Thunder grunted.
After that small conversation, we moved quietly, hoping their circuitry wasn't designed for enhanced hearing capacities. My calculations show me that it's about 112 feet away to the end of the air duct, which is not too far. I bet DJ Thunder would've still complained either it's long or not.
We reached it, and found nothing walking or talking around, so I opened the air duct door very quietly. This reminded me of Snake sneaking in aboard the Halberd in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
"The coast is clear", I whispered.
I made sure no one came while the rest of my team are crawling out of the air duct. I wasn't surprised to see DJ Thunder sweating from head to toe.
We slowly walked without anyone hearing or seeing us. The hallway was surprisingly dark, pitch dark. Something didn't feel right. Luckily, we were able to see most of it. I reviewed the schematics to lead me to the factory station where these QR Code weapons are held at.
"Psst, guys", I whispered, "schematics show it's to the northeast."
"Do you mind telling me which way east is?", DJ Thunder asked humorously.
"Uh... on your 2?", I said, thinking of a different answer.
"Oh great, numbers now?", DJ Thunder asked.
"Just... follow me...", I finished, concentrating too much on the mission.
The factory was just one step away, and boy it would be great if it will all be done quick. As we finally went close to the doorway, we peeked at the components of the factory itself. It was... huge. There were tanks with four crab-like legs, only their legs move forwards and backwards slowly. The symbols appear to be QR Codes, meaning a destination on the Internet. There were conveyor belts hauling parts of the MegaMicros and tanks, as well as weapons.
"Woah!", Phoenix said in surprise. "Look at the size of this place! How can our army compare to this?!"
"Well, there's no need to be claustrophobic in this place, that's for sure", DJ Thunder replied.
"Black", I said, "let's take snapshots of all this. We can't fight not knowing what we're up against."
"Affirmative", Black replied.
He was taking non-stop snapshots of every detail of the factory. Despite the clicking sound being loud, the factory covered that thanks to its extensive high volume of clanking, mashing, making, melting, etc. Everything was taken care of, so we nodded to each other, and I lead the group to retreat outta this place so we can give the info to our leaders.
"Alright, group", I began to say, "success. Time to extract ourselves."
"HOORAY!", DJ Thunder shouted.
We suddenly caught eyes of a group of MegaMicros, looking at us.
"DJ, I think you not only spoke too soon, but you attracted unwanted attention added to it", Phoenix said.
"Gosh, I'm too energetic!", DJ Thunder replied. "Ok, let's fight!"
The group began to take their fighting positions. I was always ready to charge first, Black crouched as if he was steadying himself, Phoenix pointed her arm cannon as if she's aiming accurately, and of course, DJ Thunder is dancing Kung-Fu style. He's really energetic.
What will become of these heroes? How will they get through? We'll find out on our next chapter!
