Koudoutai: The Zodiac Strikes Back
Welcome to Chapter 11. First, Zodiac were true to their word
by threatening to blow up portions of Japan if their demands were
not met. They meant business as Hakodate Island, and now
Shikoku Island were reduced to nothingness, with 5000 people
dead in a matter of 30 minutes. And both the Japanese government
and DDS were in a frenzy, as Ken and Daisuke remain missing and
believed to be held prisoners at the hands of the Zodiac, at the same
time, they were caught off guard as they were duped into thinking that
the fake bomb in Shikoku Island wouldn't blow up.
Meanwhile, Class Q were preparing themselves in case Zodiac comes
up with a new threat.

Tracking The Signal and Careful PlanningSix hours have passed, and the Government of Japan has
not yet made any official announcement regarding the Zodiac's
demand. The military officials were hard pressed on the corner
as they try to come up with a way of infiltrating the base without
provoking the Zodiac into firing the rest of the warhead on Japan.
In fact they fear that they might fire the warheads on neighboring countries,
like Japan and Korea. Then Defense Minister Artemio Yamagata
(not related to the Samurai-X character) received a phone call from
CLAMP School, saying that they have a way of infiltrating the base.
Two hours later (in a total of eight hours after the first demand, which
means it's four hours before the deadline), Yamagata arrived and entered
the conference room. And there he was debriefed by Koushiro and Miyako
about what they're going to do.
Koushiro said that he managed to trace the signal of Ken and Daisuke through
their Digi-crests, hence they can track down their whereabouts, and possibly
the where the warheads are stored. At the same time, Koushiro said that Ken
showed him how to use the Black Spiral rings in disabling a Digimon. He then
said that he'll modify it a little so that he can apply it on the warheads, disabling them.
Miyako told Yamagata that the Black Spiral rings acts as a virus of sorts.
Their discussion was interrupted by a phone call. It was Yumiko Readman
(from ROD The TV), calling through her mobile phone. She told Principal Dan
that several twins, mostly teenagers, were walking like zombies, all heading in the
direction of Itoigawa, and were entering a yellow square. She also said that a man in
black armor was "navigating" the possessed twins in entering the yellow square. Principal Dan
and DDS, as well as Yamagata, were baffled on why only twins are acting strange and not all of
the citizens. "Futagoza", a voice said. It was Akira of the CLAMP School Detective team.
"Futagoza means Gemini. So that means he's the one responsible for the bombing incident
in Tokyo Business District.". Kyuu then got an idea. He took the phone from Principal Dan
and asked Yumiko if Anita and Junior are with her. When Yumiko said yes,
Kyuu suggested that Anita and Junior disguised themselves as twins so that they
can infiltrate the military base, while the rest will try to find a way in.
Koushiro then found the signal of Ken and Daisuke's crests. Looking at the laptop,
they traced the Zodiac HQ, which was located in Naze, in the southwest island of Nansei.
Miyako and Iori were dispatched to head to Nansei Island to rescue Ken and Daisuke.
Meanwhile, Yamagata showed to DDS the map of the military installation
base in Mt. Bandai. Megumi, using her photographic memory, memorized
the areas, as well as the short cuts, and where the hidden passages are.
Koushiro, however, cautioned them that they are short-handed for the moment,
as he wasn't sure if all of the Zodiac members are there, since he wasn't sure if
there are other Zodiac members who are guarding Ken and Daisuke.
Yumiko, who was still on the line, suggested that Maggie and Michelle will go
with them, while Nancy and Drake will try to find a way of disarming the warheads
so that they won't be launched. Mimi also volunteered to come along. Palmon and
Terriermon also stood forward and volunteered as well. "Then it's settled. Class Q,
Mimi, Maggie and Michelle, Nancy and Drake will go and infiltrate the base.
Miyako and Iori will go to Zodiac HQ in Naze to rescue Ken and Daisuke.".
The three CLAMP School detective team then volunteered to accompany Iori and
Miyako. Headmistress Ohkawa then gave them her approval, and in less than two
minutes, all went to their assigned destinations. Yamagata prayed that the DDS and
CLAMP School students will succeed in their missions, as the fate of Japan lies in their hands.
To Be Continued
Alright, DDS and CLAMP School students are going to undergo a very dangerous mission.
Iori and Miyako, along with Armadimon and Hawkmon, will infiltrate the Zodiac HQ
to rescue Ken and Daisuke.
Class Q, Mimi (with Palmon and Terriermon), Maggie, Michelle, and the
CLAMP School team will try to infiltrate the military base by passing through t
he hidden passages. Anita and Junior are going to dress up like twins and follow
the mesmerized twins to where they were heading. And once the heroes entered
the base, they are going to disarm the warhead without triggering the launching sequence.
Will they accomplish it on time?
Reviews are welcome, flames are not.
