Koudoutai: The Zodiac Strikes Back

Welcome to Chapter 19. But first and foremost, I just want to say thanks

for the reviews you've given in reading this fic. I really appreciate it. I really

do. And because of that, I became more motivated in continuing this fic.

I said earlier that this fic may or may not exceed the chapters of Book 1

(Koudoutai: The New Enemy), since it has 21 chapters (18 chapters and

3 supplemental chapters). Now I can tell you that it will exceed the 21 chapters,

as from this chapter, and the next chapters (including the new and improved

Zodiac Digest) will be long, as Yagiza (Capricorn) will finally make his action

debut, after spending several chapters hiding behind the scenes as a disguised

security guard for CLAMP School. Be patient, for he'll show up sooner than

you think

As for what will take place here, I'll be borrowing elements from the US movie,

Air Force One (starring Harrison Ford as the US President), as the theme will

be in the sky.

Yeah, this time the Zodiac will attempt to do something very drastic, and the

DDS/CLAMP School crew will find it very concerning.

And after the Air force One story arc, the future chapters in this fic will be heavily

borrowed from Kamen Rider Ryuki, as three of the Zodiac members will join forces

with DDS and CLAMP School, and events will lead to how the Zodiac was formed,

and other things.

But right now, we'll focus first on the Air Force One story arc.

Read on to see how this story will commence.

Kyoto International Airport. The airport is under tight security, as the Royal Family

are there, all planning to take a vacation in New Zealand. Of course, the Prime

Minister will look over Japan during the Emperor's absence. And surrounding

the Royal Family are several guards from various agencies, and mostly from the military.

The emperor gave the Prime Minister orders on helping DDS in tracking down

the Zodiac. And told the Prime Minister to solve it within the month. The Prime

Minister assured to the Emperor that within the month there will be results.

Two hours have passed, the Royal Family are boarded in Air Force One, and took

off. Neither the Royal Family, nor the security are aware that the plane has uninvited

stowaways hiding inside the plane.

A/n: Although I haven't seen the anime yet, I've seen the footages via youtube . com,

and I find it very intriguing. The opening song sounds very good, so I'll be putting this

here to act as the 2nd opening song.

Air Force One Part 1

DDS HQ, which is located in CLAMP School. Classes are ongoing, and everything

seems normal. Class Q, as usual, are having lunch with Class A and C. They were still

a bit upset, as the Zodiac remained scot-free while the bodies of 20 pairs of twins were

already decomposing beneath the demolished base in Mt. Bandai (see Search and

Rescue story arc). They were also alarmed when wild Digimons began to emerge in

random places in the human world via a portal that connects the human and the Digimon

world. Although authorities managed to subdue the wild Digimons, Class C ended up

killing them to save everyone around them.

This morning, they learned that the Royal Family are going on vacation in New Zealand

to take a 2-week vacation. They also learned that the Prime Minister is going to be in

charge of tracking down the Zodiac. So far, things are pretty quiet. Ryu hinted that the

Zodiac may be coming up with something new, something that even DDS or CLAMP

School, or the authorities couldn't expect. They finished their lunch and went back to their respective classes.

Five hours later, Class C was summoned to the conference room by Principal Dan,

and told them that there were several bodies piled up inside the stock room inside Kyoto

International Airport. Class A was summoned as well, and, believing that Class C might

need additional help, told them that they'll be helping Class C in conducting a thorough

investigation at the airport. The two sections were dispatched at once and proceeded to

the airport.

A/n: This ending song is actually a battle song from Kamen Rider Ryuki. It's kind of

an action song, but very good to listen. In fact there's an MTV of that song. Go to

youtube . com, and type Kamen Rider Ryuki at the search bar. At the sidebar,

you'll find "Kamen Rider Ryuki All Rider Final Vent", with the song timer 3:41.

Play it and you'll see.

Air Force One, huh? Seems I've been ripping off TV series, and now a movie. Well,

at least I'm coming up with ideas in making a fic. And as long as you like the story, I won't

complain, just to keep you readers happy, and glued you on your seats.

First, the military installation base in Mt. Bandai, and now Air Force One, and the Royal

Family are in there! It's bad enough that they're tinkering with missiles and warheads, and

now they've became much bolder, trying their luck using them as hostages for ransom.

Read on in the next chapters as to see how the Digimons and the DDS/CLAMP School

crew try to respond to this new problem that's about to commence.

Reviews are welcome, flames are not.
