Koudoutai: The Zodiac Strikes Back

Ok, we're now at Chapter 33, and a fight inside Air Force One, is still

on-going, as Michelle and Anita are taking on Ohitsujiza and Otomeza,

while Takeru and Patamon are watching behind the scenes.

- - -

Michelle kept on firing her Paper Missiles at Otomeza, who shielded herself

with her Guard Vent, while Ohitsujiza deflects the paper Shurikens with the

Metal Horn (Strike Vent). Having had enough, Otomeza then grabbed a hostage,

which was Suichi Kitaoka, who was secretly To-Rasu. Anita and Michelle stopped

attacking as Otomeza was slightly pressing her Virgin Visor at the throat of

Kitaoka. The two Paper Sisters were forced to drop their weapons. Ohitsujiza

then punched the two on their gut with his Strike Vent, knocking them out.

Ohitsujiza then tied them up and hurled them along with the other hostages

(who were also tied up).

Air Force One Part 7

Takeru realized that its up to him and Patamon to do something, and knew

that Patamon cannot evolve to Angemon without causing the plane to dismantle,

since Angemon is too big to fit in the plane. But was relieved by the fact that the

Zodiac's battle robots couldn't be summon due to their sizes.

Takeru then sneaked his way in towards the room. Leaning his head against

the room he could here the voices. Peeking through the hole where Michelle's

arrow caused, he could see the hostages, all tied-up. Ohitsujiza then pulled

Emperor Akishino, telling him to tell the government to deposit Y 100 billion

on their Swiss bank account now. Emperor Akihito hesitated, and Ohitsujiza

then threw him at Otomeza, then grabbed Princess Kiko, threatening to harm

her if he doesn't do what he says. Akishino remained defiant, until Ohitsujiza

made his point by breaking her both her arms. Princess Kiko cried in pain, her

crying was echoing around the room. Takeru and Patamon were shocked and

angered at what Ohitsujiza had done, but had to maintain their patience. And

unexpectedly, Otomeza was starting to shake off her malevolence upon seeing

Ohitsujiza did the same to Princess Kako, breaking her arms, and then her legs.

Otomeza then was broke free of her malevolence when Ohitsujiza grabbed

Emperor Akishino's youngest son, the three-month old Prince Hisahiso.

Emperor Akishino then agreed to Ohitsujiza's demand, and told the government,

by phone, to do what he said. Just as the government were about to deposit the

money, they heard a scuffle through the phone.

"That's enough! How could you? Harming the children, and now threatening the

infant? I won't forgive you! You're as cruel as Asakura!" Otomeza shouted,

as she freed Emperor Akishino from his ropes and grabbed Prince Hisahito and

gave it to his father, then pushed Ohitsujiza away. "Damn! So you broke

free of our control! Doesn't matter, 'cause you're replaceable!" Ohitsujiza

cussed, and the hostages, including the awakened Michelle and Anita, heard

this. As Ohitsujiza and Otomeza scuffled outside of the room, Takeru and Patamon

sneaked their way in, and freed the rest of the hostages. Takeru then told them to

wait as the two Zodiac members brawled outside.

Ohitsujiza then pulled out a card and inserted it into his card deck.

"FINAL VENTO". Metal-Ohitsu appeared and Ohitsujiza mounted onto

his battle robot's shoulders, acting as a battering ram, and the two then charged

towards Otomeza. Otomeza activated her Guard Vent and shielded herself, but

wisely side stepped, as Ohitsujiza's Final Vent missed its target, and instead plowed

through the pilots' room, and struck the controls, as well as caused a huge hole.

This caused a turbulence and outside air to come inside the holed plane.

Ohitsujiza, Metal-Ohitsu, and Otomeza were sucked out of the plane, and

onto the open air. Ohitsujiza and his battle robot fell down, but Otomeza's cape

turned into wings and went airborne. She then saw Air Force One slowly

descending, as the controls were broken, as well as the auto pilot controls.

She ponders on whether to leave the scene or help out.

HATENAKI INOCHI (Boundless Life) by Hiroshi Kitadani

(From the TV series Kamen Rider Ryuki)

Kono karada wo kogashite atsuku moeru

What's this? Otomeza had a change of heart? What do you think?

Anyway, next chapter, how will the Paper Sisters and Takeru save the hostages

now that Air Force One is no longer capable of landing after the controls are

destroyed?

And where are Kabuterimon and the rest?

The Air Force One mini-arc will conclude soon, and let me know if you think

the Royal Family will survive this ordeal.
