/December 21st, 2029. The Pentagon. Alexandria, Virginia. 10:01 PM/

/Dylan rose an eyebrow, as he looked at Baseplate/

"Mettic's alive?" asked Dylan

"Yeah, and he's helping the Russians" said Baseplate

/Dylan sighed, with annoyance/

"And Prizrak is inside of the United States? How do you know?" asked Dylan

"I told you, I'm a double agent. I infiltrated Pyongyang, Beijing, Seoul, and Moscow. I don't know what China's Ghost is doing, but the Russian one is setting out to try and kill you" said Baseplate

/Everyone at the table went wide eyed. William looked at Dylan/

"Mister President... now might be a good time to leave" said William

"No. if that cocksucker wants a fight, then I say bring it on" said Dylan

"You can't take him on..." said a voice

/Everyone at the table, saw Chase, standing in the doorway. Chase walked to the table, and sat back in his seat/

"Chase, don't tell me that." said Dylan

"Dylan, I worked with the guy. And I worked with you. From what I can tell, the only two people in the entire world, that can kill him, is me, and China's Ghost. I don't think anyone else can kill him" said Chase

/Dylan sighed/

"Do you really think that? Is he that good?" asked Dylan

"Mister President, this is a very bad situation. It's bad enough that we had to lock down the entire Bering Strait, but now add in the fact that one of the Ghosts is coming to kill you? This is a major chucklefuck situation" said Chase

/Dylan nodded/

"Okay... I'll order protection for myself, and all other members of the government" said Dylan

/Baseplate cleared his throat/

"There's more... but we need to discuss this in private" said Baseplate

"Fuck that. We're not leaving you alone with the President of the United States" said Ulrich

"I'm not talking about the President, I'm talking about Secretary Enheart" said Baseplate

/Chase rose an eyebrow/

"Why me?" asked Chase

"I have information that you might like to know" said Baseplate

/Chase sighed/

"We'll talk in my office" said Chase

"Chase, you can't be serious" said Ulrich

"I am. I just want to hear what this asshole has to say, so I never have to speak to him again" said Chase

/The group nodded. Baseplate and Chase then got up, and walked out of the room/

==With Aelita==

/At Jeremie & Aelita's house, Madison Street. Washington DC. 10:05 PM/

/Aelita sighed, as she looked at a picture of her, Chase, and their parents. Kylie walked to her, and sat next to her/

"Is that grandma and grandpa?" asked Kylie

"Yes, sweetie. Along with me and your uncle Chase" said Aelita

/Kylie smiled, when she saw the younger Chase and Aelita, smiling/

"You all look really happy" said Kylie

"We were. Being together was some of the best times of my life. And it was some of the greatest times of Chase's, too" said Aelita

/Kylie looked closer at the picture, and noticed a dog/

"Is that the original Riley?" asked Kylie

"Yes. He was such a great dog... I miss him" said Aelita

"It sounds like you do. I'm sorry, mom" said Kylie

/Kylie smiled, when she saw her Riley, come to her. Kylie giggled, as Riley licked her hand. Kylie then looked back at her mother/

"What was it like, back in France?" asked Kylie

/Aelita smiled, and shrugged/

"It was nice... but I like being in America, more. There's so much culture here." said Aelita

"Heh, I bet uncle Odd only likes it because of all of the food. Right?" joked Kylie

/Kylie and Aelita, both laughed/

==With James==

/USS John F. Kennedy. 5 Miles off the coast of Hong Kong. 11:00 PM/

/James had a wide eyed look, as he looked at the American fleet. Admiral Stevenson sighed, and looked at him/

"Lieutenant, how're we doing on communications?" asked Stevenson

"I've got EMS running... along with some basic receivers, sir" said James

"Alright. Once we get close, I need you to fire up our radar, sonar, and everything else we got. We're gonna be blind, so I need to know what the fuck we are about to sail into. Got it?" asked Stevenson

"Got it, sir" said James

/James started activating the radar, sonar, and short-wave radios, as Stevenson looked out, towards Hong Kong.../

==With Chase==

/Chase and Baseplate walked into Chase's office. Chase closed the door behind them, and looked at Baseplate/

"What do you need to talk about?" asked Chase

/Suddenly, Chase felt something hit him in the back of the head. Before everything turned to black, he saw Baseplate, grinning evilly/

==1 Hour Later==

/Chase opened his eyes, and realized he had handcuffs on. He looked around, and noticed Baseplate, and someone else, looking at his computer. Chase had a look of fury/

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THAT!" shouted Chase

/Chase went wide eyed, when he realized the other person, was Prizrak/

"Hello, Ghost" said Prizrak

/Chase frowned/

"Zdravstvuyte Prizrak (Hello Ghost)" said Chase

/Chase looked at Baseplate/

"What're you gonna do? Kill me?" asked Chase, with annoyance

"No... the cancer'll take care of that. We're here for something else" said Baseplate

"What?" asked Chase

/Prizrak pulled out a remote, and handed it to Baseplate/

"Prizrak already hacked the US Defense Grid. Once I press this button, it goes, 'bye bye'" said Baseplate

"You crazy son of a bitch!" shouted Chase

/Baseplate grinned, as he pressed the button. Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, and the emergency lighting came on. Baseplate looked at Chase/

"I'm sorry to go, now. But I really do have something to tell you" said Baseplate

/Baseplate walked to Chase, and crouched next to him/

"Your parents are alive..." said Baseplate

/Baseplate took out a picture, and dropped it next to Chase. Chase had a wide eyed look, as Baseplate and Prizrak ran out of the door/

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" asked Chase

/Chase looked at the picture, and had a shocked look, as he saw an aged Franz and Anthea Hopper. Chase went wide eyed/

==With Baseplate==

/Baseplate and Prizrak ran into their van, and started driving away. One of the Russian agents turned from his seat, to look at them/

"Yavlyayetsya li amerikanskaya oborona setki, vniz? (Is the American defense grid, down?)" asked the agent

"Da. Yesli my atakuyem seychas, to oni ne smogut nichego s etim podelat' (Yes. If we attack now, then they won't be able to do anything about it)" said Prizrak

/Baseplate laughed, and then smiled, evilly/

"Operatsiya Firestorm, nachinayetsya (Operation Firestorm, begins)" said Baseplate
