Chapter IX
"The Plan Becomes Reality"
A/N: The long-awaited short chapter! ;D Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was 'hard at work'. Kazu snored behind his computer, Takato was munching on a bag of
peanuts while staring at the screen, Henry was tossing his pencil up and down, Kenta was secretly
playing computer games, and Jeri was reading a book.
They all jumped when Yamaki addressed them. "Listen up, team."
They went over to his desk, yawning and stretching. Kazu was still half asleep. "What is it? I
was having a good sle---I mean, I was having a great time looking up those old D-Reaper videos."
Jeri laughed at him, then more seriously, turned to their boss. "Did something new come in?"
"Yes, it has." He was even happy. "Rika has sent us her work, and she's made an amazing breakthrough."
"She has?" Henry asked. "What'd she find out?"
"The D-Reaper's weakest point is its insides." Yamaki said.
Everyone gasped. Jeri whispered, "I remember now! All those years ago we had to go inside the D-Reaper
to destroy it!"
"Oh yeah..." Kenta scratched his head. "Good point."
"So what do we do?" Henry inquired. "Just...go for it?"
"No, that would be walking blindly into a trap." Yamaki took off his sunglasses. "The program is
76% finished. Once it's complete, we'll create a diversion, while our tech team hacks into the
D-Army's main programming and uploads the virus into their systems. If successful, the virus
will rip the D-Army apart one by one; confusing it and deleting everything and anything it stores
in its database."
"Suh-weet!" Kazu said, and everybody laughed. "How are we supposed to do it again?"
They all groaned. Yamaki spoke again. "The only problems that can go wrong with this is that
our diversion fails, or that the D-Army is stronger than we think it is."
"And if the tech teams fails to get in?" Takato said.
"They won't. We still have the schematics and passwords from all those years ago, and the D-Army
is made up of the exact same materials. We can do it."
"That's great!" Jeri jumped up and down. "What now?"
"That's not it." Yamaki sighed. "Don't you want to know the diversion?"
"Oh, yes, please." Jeri said.
"The military's agreed to help us. They'll use their weapons from all sides to get the D-Army into
a state of panic. And if it doesn't work..."
"Then what?" Henry's expression was still worried.
"Then we have a backup plan. We'll use a single human being to lure it into the place where the
signal from our labs' computers will be able to reach it. Of course, there is a slight possibility..."
"That this human will be hurt?" Kenta's voice was shaky.
"Yes." Yamaki looked down. "But the chance of it happening is only 31%."
"You're throwing statistics at us again!" Takato said. "Just tell us who this person is."
"Uh--"
"Me." said a voice at the door.
They all turned to look at the speaker as he stepped out of the shadows. Ryo smiled at them all.
"Hi everybody."
They were silent for a moment. Then, as if on cue, they all burst out talking. It was a chorus
of "where were you"s and "what are you doing here"s.
"You're gonna be the decoy, Ryo?" Kazu asked, his eyes shining. "That's gutsy!"
*I can see he still worships me.* Ryo thought nervously. *Weird. I'm not anything great. Oh well.*
"Yeah, I guess."
"I can't believe you're gonna let him do this!" Jeri said to Yamaki. "What if---"
"...you sound like Rika, Jeri." Ryo said.
Jeri turned towards Ryo. "You went to see Rika?"
"Yeah, I did."
They were all silent. Kazu spoke up. "So what hap---"
"SHUT UP, KAZU!" Everyone yelled, and he fell silent.
Ryo laughed. "It's OK, really. Me and Rika are going strong again."
"That's wonderful!" Jeri gushed. "If there's two people that deserve to be happy in the world,
it's you two."
Ryo blushed. *Does she really think so? I wouldn't mind me, as long as Rika was happy...*
"So now that you're here," Yamaki addressed Ryo. "I have to tell you about the---"
"Don't bother." Ryo said. "I already heard. I've been standing out there for a while."
"Oh." Yamaki was taken aback. "Well, that just leaves Rika---"
"Right here." Rika stepped into the room.
"How--" Ryo turned around.
"I was standing right behind you, silly." Rika walked up to them.
"Glad you didn't take the oppurtunity to spook me." Ryo smiled.
"Now why would I do such a thing?" Rika handed a new stack of research papers to Yamaki. "I wrote
the bug to a CD, if you don't mind."
"That's perfect," Yamaki took the envelope from her. "So, team. Time to make this plan a reality."
"Yeah!"
...end of Chapter IX!
A/N: If you wanna know what happens, you'd better review, because I have to see how many people
actually want me to continue. Thnx!
