Chapter 18 of 26. I'm surprised how stretched out I made the end, even if the chapters are short. Anyways, enjoy.
Jugatsu had been sorting through different possible plans until he got a message saying everyone just logged on from Skyld. He replied to the message telling them to come to the spot. Shortly afterwards everyone appeared. Venus, Skyld, AnakinseZ, Momiri, and Erica joined Jugatsu they began to sit in a circle. Jugatsu was sitting farthest from the water. Momiri was to his left then Venus. To Jugatsu's right was AnakinseZ, Skyld, then Erica across from Jugatsu.
"So here's what we have to do. We need to lure both AIs to a map, prevent warping to or from the map, stratagize a way to fight Dusk, and then we need to delete Dusk afterwards,"Jugatsu said after a silence.
"Luring Dusk just requires a fight with one of you three,"Venus replied.
"Well we still need attract Dawn somehow,"Erica said.
"We have a 50-50 chance since she normally shows up before Dusk,"Jugatsu said.
"Okay say that did work, then we would need Remial to stop all travel related to that map,"AnakinseZ responded.
Jugatsu picked up a rock and began to draw a circle. He drew an X and wrote entrance by it.
"Well even if he did prevent warping then he still may be able to leave, just like how Azara tried to delete us, but the weapons and bracelet prevented it,"Skyld replied, while Jugatsu began drawing some features, and writing notes.
The circle now had a caption which had grassy field by the edge. He also drew some windmills, the spring, and the dungeon.
The drawing now had two people fighting and what was supposed to be Dusk appearing, he drew Dawn on the other side of the two people.
"There, we'll have the following people on the map during this time, Me, Skyld, Anakin, Remial, Venus, Momiri, and Erica. Since we know Skyld's sword works well to attract Dusk he'll be one of the people here fighting,"Jugatsu said pointing at one of the two people fighting on his somewhat crude drawing,"Then we have one other person fighting Skyld. Venus is probably the best bet. Then we have the others left. While the rest will be hiding at spots ready to jump out, we need Remial off to the side,"he drew a few more people then one to be Remial a decent distance away,"Once both Dawn, and Dusk, appear Remial will then set up the shield,"he began to draw some lines across the field now," This will set up everything until we have the shield up. Next we have to fight Dusk. If we're hiding then we can get a chance to sneak out one at a time and get an attack. I'll attack first then Momiri will cast after I attack, miss or hit,"Jugatsu drew an arrow from one of the people going to Dusk then he drew a staff on another one," He'll figure we were trying to sneak up on him by now. Me, Momiri, Skyld, and Venus will then fight him until he seems like he's busy from us four. Then Anakin and Erica can come out to get a few attacks, we'll attack Dusk and distract him while you two go hide again,"he drew lines from the last two people up to Dusk then back into a hiding spot,"This way we can keep up sneak attacks, and keep him busy."
"That seems like it'll work but what about getting rid of him?"Erica asked at this point.
"That will be my part, I can Data Drain him after he gets so weak then he'll be nothing more then a monster, which we should be able to kill,"Jugatsu answered.
"You have to think of the how the plan will fail not succeed,"they heard Remial's voice from around the corner. He walked over and began to overlook the plan from behind Jugatsu. He pointed at where the places where they were hiding.
"You see if he realizes you people are hiding or he goes after the wrong person, then your plan will begin to fall apart,"Remial said, trying to help.
Jugatsu looked at it, he knew Remial had a point.
"So then what do you suggest we should do?"Jugatsu asked.
"The plan is fine don't get me wrong, it's just if Dusk does something different then how you plan, create another way to lure him back on to the original plan,"Remial said afterwards.
"I see what you mean,"Jugatsu said,"If he goes after Anakin, for example, then Anakin stay out and fight while someone else takes his place in hiding."
"Yep, now you still have a few flaws to work on when it comes to actual combat. What is you plan to actually do?"Remial asked.
"Yeah he has a point, in actual combat we have to be careful so we didn't get attacked and sent into a seizure also,"Venus said.
"It's a coma, but yeah,"AnakinseZ corrected her.
"Well the ones most into the battle should be the ones other then Skyld and Anakin, they can't lose their swords to him. As for Momiri we know she'll be casting from a range. Me, Venus, and Erica have to keep his attention so he won't go after her. Erica is still the newest member, so that leaves Venus and I as the two main fighters in there. Then Skyld, Anakin, and Erica stay in the fight but only go in for attacks when they have a good chance. Other then that, be more defensive and try to dodge,"Jugatsu said.
Remial stood behind, and began to laugh. Everyone looked up at him.
"Forgive me, I just find it ironic. Azara used to be after you six because she thought you were against the system, but it turns out you're the ones who'll be saving "The World","Remial said,"Anyways as far as the plan goes, I think it'll work. I can request permission but it'll take about two or so days to get permission to do this."
"That's good enough, thank you,"Jugatsu said,"Everyone have the plan, I think everyone should call it a night, we'll meet here tomorrow and finalize the time we can get to do this and other things. Then the day after we'll initiate it."
This was one of the few times anyone would see Jugatsu as a leader, unlike other times when he hardly cares. Everyone logged out for the day except Remial. He had work to do so said good-bye to Jugatsu and left. Jugatsu spent the rest of the day until tomorrow replaying the plan over and over so he wouldn't screw up.
Reviews welcome if you wish.
Part 2 info:Last time I said I said it would take place in both the real world and virtual world. This means that some characters may only be seen online, offline, and some may be seen both on and offline. Also, of course, some chapters might be prodominantly online or offline, some may be completely offline or online, and others might have an even mix.
