AN: I know this is short, sorry about that. This is a small filler chapter while I try to write the large attacks that will take place on the Chronos facilities.
Also, a reminder:
Italics - thoughts
Bold - telepathic conversations
Chapter 36: Assault Planning
Sonnet paused for a few seconds, before answering Agito:
"No."
She then said:
"Not two concurrent attacks, anyway. I think we should do neutralise one target first, then the other once the first target is gone. However," She paused to glance at Ran and Mutaru, "I don't know if all of us would have the endurance and stamina to manage that."
"Meaning what, exactly?" Ran asked in a calm voice.
"I don't know how physically fit you three are compared to Guyvers 1, 3 and myself. Ok, granted, I cheat a little, but the point is still valid."
Yep, I guess you do cheat. Ran's telepathic voice entered her head, As you do have an unlimited energy supply due to your condition.
That's another advantage I forgot to mention to them when we first met. Sonnet replied, with the mental equivalent of a smirk.
"Besides," Sonnet continued, before an argument could break out, "I won't be joining you for whichever target you attack first."
"And where will you be?" Agito asked, in a calm tone of voice.
"I'll be taking care of an undeclared grudge that someone has against me."
"That's not very helpful." Sho stated.
"It's not supposed to be. You'll find out soon enough." Sonnet replied.
"So, if we are only going to attack one target at a time, which one should we take out first?" Ran queried.
"I suggest Mt Narisawa. That way, there will be no direct re-supply line for Chronos Japan when we attack there."
"Except for the processing/creation facilities that they already have." Agito pointed out."
"We can split up into groups when we take Chronos Japan out," Sonnet stated, "And one group can target the production facilities in the basement area. I'll try and get a map of the building layout, to determine if there are anymore production centres in the building."
There was a short pause.
"I think we can keep the attack plan that Agito came up with," Sonnet said, "The one we agreed on a few days ago, just alter it slightly to account for my absence."
I realise my not being there will mean that you have to get the databases from the facility by yourself. Sonnet sent to Agito.
I noticed. But I can manage alone. He sent back.
I hope so. Sonnet thought.
She took a few seconds to check on Mizuki's condition.
"Sho?" She said, after getting the result.
"Hmm?" He absently replied.
"I think she's healed up now, want to try waking her?"
"I can't. If I summon my armour in here…"
Sonnet frowned.
"Right, I forgot that part."
She glanced at the others in the room.
"We'll be back in a minute." She stated, before grabbing Sho's arm, and teleporting him out of the apartment to an area where he could activate his armour and not damage anything or anyone nearby. She then teleported them both back, and Guyver 1 spoke with her telepathically, to wake her up. As soon as she was awake, Sonnet stated:
"You don't have much luck with Enzymes, do you?"
Guyver 5 didn't reply for a second, as she glanced at her chest where the Enzyme II had stabbed her.
"Not really." She replied, after seeing she had healed.
Guyver 5 then glanced around the room.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Strategy meeting." Sho summarised.
"Which target are we hitting?"
"We're going to hit Mt Narisawa first, cutting off the immediate supply lines to Chronos Japan, and then attack the Japan Branch a couple of days later, so we have time to recover in between." Sonnet explained.
"Ok, how will the attack work?" Guyver 5 queried.
"Remember Agito's initial plan for Mt Narisawa?"
"I think so."
Guyver 5 then explained:
· Guyvers 1 and 5 would cover the control centre, damaging/destroying whatever they could,
· Guyvers Red and Psychic would destroy the Production Centres,
· Guyver Blue and Guyver 3 would copy all the information in the Chronos computers there, and then destroy them.
· The general role of all of them was to destroy any Chronos equipment and 'products' while also carrying out their specific tasks.
"That's right," Agito confirmed, "Although Blue claims she'll be elsewhere."
Guyver 5 turned to Sonnet.
"Doing what?"
"Taking care of a grudge."
"I thought you didn't hold grudges?"
"I don't. It's a grudge that someone has against me, so I'm going to give him the chance to deal with it."
"Also, there is something else you should be aware of," Sonnet announced, "as well as designing zoanoids, I've also been assigned to work with a team of people who are working on a way to, somehow, neutralise our teleportation abilities."
"That could be bad." Sho commented.
"Definitely. I'll stall it as much as I can, but I have to be careful in doing so."
They discussed the strategies for about another half an hour, and then Agito and Sho were teleported home by Guyver 5. Sonnet also left Ran's apartment, and returned to her own.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes after entering her apartment, and locking the door, Sonnet heard a voice in her head:
You're going to duel him to the death, aren't you? Guyver 5 telepathically asked.
How did you figure that? Sonnet replied, walking into her bedroom, and getting a change of clothes out.
I can only think of one person who would hold a grudge against you because, after we destroyed his Chronos Branch, you returned and nearly killed him.
Yes, it's him I'm going after. An attack on him should get some other attention focused away from you five.
Why aren't you telling them what you are going to do?
Because I don't want them offering to help. We need as much firepower as possible for Mt Narisawa. Besides, like I said, it's mainly a distraction.
But if you can kill him?
Then I will.
Sonnet had got changed by this point, and was hanging her suit up, when Guyver 5 ended the conversation with:
I hope you can. One less Zoalord would be very helpful to our objectives.
