Chapter Twenty Six
Hack the Planet
News reporter Matsumoto hurried through the police station in chase of getting the scoop on the biggest story of the year. Unconfirmed reports flew around about a technological terrorist threat on one of the largest economic tycoons in Japan, and that it was brought on by a couple of local high schoolers, so the reporter decided to get answers directly from her best source. She caught Tousen's attention.
"Captain Tousen, is it true that teenagers attacked Hueco Mundo's computer network? Is this the last we've seen of this type of high-tech espionage?" she called out to him.
Tousen leaned down to his assistant Wonderweiss. "Pull that television closer to here right now. I want to see how I look in this news report," he whispered. The smaller blonde nodded and did as he was told.
"Now we don't have any reason to believe that there are other hackers out there or anticipate any further attacks since we arrested our perpetrators while they were in the act of their evil doing. We are confident that we shall get the extent of their plans directly from our detainees," he said with a firm voice. Tousen straightened himself out when he caught his own image on the television Wonderwiess had pushed near the film crew.
Matsumoto looked down at her notepad for more questions. "Captain, are you at liberty to disclose the arrested suspects?"
Tousen didn't answer her question right away because he was too busy watching the static that took over the tv set. The grey fuzz cleared away to display a low quality feed of a rather plump looking young man with shaved slits in his eyebrows. He sat down in a chair, constantly fidgeting while he waited for some sort of off-camera cue to start speaking. The worried exclamations of the news crew caused a sudden alarm for Tousen.
"That kid cut him off! I can't get our camera feed back on!"
"Hello boys and girls," the kid on the television said. He waved to the camera. "It is I, Bonne the Boar Wrangler, making my first coast to coast, world-wide and very global television appearance. Yes, that's correct, I am here to tell you about this heinous scheme hatched from within the Hueco Mundo Mineral Corporation.
But for what, you ask? World domination? Nay, it is for something far more tacky. A virus called da Vinci, that when launched, would cause Hueco Mundo tankers to capsize in the Pacific Ocean, was to be blamed in innocent hackers. But this virus was really the smokescreen for something bigger, and what could be so vitally important to protect that someone would create such a nasty, antisocial, very uncool virus program?"
Yoruichi and Urahara adjusted cable knobs to manage the broadcast of Ganju's television debut. With each new light that illuminated, more and more televisions broadcasted their humble show. Razor and Blade knew they were live all over the world, online, and on public and private televisions alike while Ganju continued to explain Aizen's plot.
"Could it be that this virus was to cover the tracks for this worm program? A worm that was to steal 250 million bucks from Hueco Mundo Corporation and give it to Ichimaru Gin, second in command for Computer Security, and to his partner...Aizen Souske, Head Security Officer?"
A combination of numbers scrolled across the bottom of the screen.
"What's this? Is this the unnamed account in the Bahamas where the money was to be stashed? I think so!"
Ganju let out a chuckle and looked around his surroundings, somewhat mesmerized. Viewers couldn't exactly tell if he was acting or for real. "Yo people...I kind of feel like God!"
Tousen stood stiff in his shoes as he slowly realized that Aizen played him for a fool. He clutched his hands into fists, unsure whether it was his fault that he was humiliated by another hacker who managed to avoid arrest. A commotion erupted from the interrogation rooms, and the arrested hackers cheered while they let themselves out of captivity. No one stopped them.
Ichigo smiled broadly as he found his mother and scooped her up in a big embrace. Smiling happily, Masaki wrapped her arms around her son and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
One moment, Ichimaru Gin was packing for sunny weather in the Bahamas, and the next thing he knew, his hands were held behind him by a dozen officers pinning him down on top of his suitcase. The officers shoved him in a police cruiser, and instead of going to the police station, Gin was sent directly to the town prison for criminal processing. He struggled against his escorting officers, who refused to hear his pleas.
"I don't even know how to work a VCR, let alone a computer! Look, I'll make a deal...Aizen Souske! I promise you, I know where his mother lives. I want a lawyer, NOW!" he bellowed, his voice echoing against the concrete walls.
