AN: Ok so maybe this didn't take QUITE as long as i expected but its also only the beginning of this Arc.


Chapter 13: They're Ours!: Planning sessions

The next day I woke up at 6:30 and went to school once there I saw the entire orchestra waiting for me at the front entrance.

"Really guys, planning session won't start until 1st period." I said laughing

"You really think your orchestra is the only ones getting involved in this Staff Sergant?" Came the voice of Ashely Claypool, our JROTC Battlion Commander.

"Ma'am!" I yelped snapping to attention and saluting.

"At ease Colonel." How does she know my Halo: Reach Rank? "In this case you're my superior. You will know what to do."

"What Ms. Claypool said is true. You have a school behind you!" I turned to see Mr. Manly, the principal standing there.

"T-thank you, everyone." I said, putting my hand in front of my face, trying to hide the tears

'Do you really have time to be crying?' Ultimatum said, I snapped up, my eyes bloodshot from the halted crying

'you're right.' "Alright, get the students to the Auditorium, Call Omega to the stage!" I barked "Ranger: Where are the other Possessors?"

"Right here boss!" Bryan said walking up.

"Good… where's Alice?"

"She didn't come. Still crying in her apartment over Rin's lifeless frame." Loni said, I nodded.

"Well lets give her a reason to cry in joy." I said turning and walking into the school. "Ranger: Bring the projectors online. Ultimatum, get out here!" Ulty materialzed next to me and we walked up on stage, Omega and the possessors hot on my tail. Once out on the stage a hologram of the Crypton Future Media building was projected for all to see.

"Alright this plan is gonna take a lot of work. There will be two insertion teams consisting of Omega and the Possessors. I will need a distraction at both of the buildings, which is gonna be consisting of your guys." Cameron said, as he laid down the plan step by step for everyone. I watched from the side of the stage, all I could feel at that point was pride, pride for Cameron and his skills, pride for my school so willing to support me without a second thought. But underneath all that was anger, anger at Yamaha for stabbing me in the back, anger at Alice for abandoning her charges and then not coming to help save her one remaining charge, anger at myself for not figuring out how I was going to get everyone to Japan… oh shit how are we gonna get everyone to Japan!

"Cameron!" I yelled walking on stage, he turned and glared at me

"You're interrupting me!" He snarled, I rolled my eyes

"Whatever, how are we gonna get everyone to Japan?"

"I was hoping you had that one figured out."

"No, it just crossed my mind." I said, at this point one of the teachers walked up on stage.

"I know a 747 pilot, he could probably take everyone over to Japan." He whispered in my ear.

"Could you see about setting that up then Mr?"

"Mr. Amzer."

"Oh so you're the other band director." I said, nodding and shaking his hand. "Ok people crisis temporarily averted. Cameron continue." I said, he nodded and launched back into his planning session. After that was over Mr. Manly came on stage and told everyone to return to their first period classes and to begin making poster, banners, anything to help with the distraction effort. He handed the mic to me so I could say my final words. "I wanted to thank you all for helping me with this. I know not all us have seen eye to eye but it means a lot to me that you're all coming together to help me." I said putting the mic in its rack and turning it off and then walking off stage.

After School

I was driving home when I got a phone call from a number I didn't know. But it was a school number so I answered. "Mack Bator speaking."

"Mack, this is Mr. Amzer, I have good news, my friend is willing to fly the school to Japan. For a small fee of course."

"That won't be a problem." I replied. "All that matters is that I have a way to get the plan over there now. Thanks again Mr. Amzer." I said hanging up. Once home Omega, the Possessors and I all began going over the strategy for what we were gonna do once we were inside the building. "For this mission it will require Ranger to be in two places at once, which is impossible. So to resolve that I have made another A.I. ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce you to Longshot, Cameron this will be your A.I. he will go with you as you will be leading the second strike team."

"Yes sir!" Cameron replied walking over and stick out his arm, I slid the two rings that the Holo system was projected through on to Cameron's arm, and slid in the Longshot chip.

"Good afternoon sir, I am Longshot and will be you're A.I. from here on out."

"Pleasure to meet you Longshot." Cameron said. "Alright, I'll take it from here now that I have the ability to manipulate the hologram. Strike team one will consist of Omega they will hit the larger building, Yamaha, and move in to secure the copyright and disc material, as well as any remaining prototypes that may be in that building. Though I'm not expecting the Yamaha building to have them. The second strike team will consist of the Possessors and me, our objective is gonna be shutting down all the factories that are producing anything related to the Vocaloids, as well as securing any and all prototypes. After that has been completed and we are certain that we have completely and totally removed and obtained all of the copyrights and destroyed all of their disks."

"What about the already published ones?"

"They will remain in Yamaha's control unfortunately. I can shut them down but that would cause to much backlash." Ranger said.

"And stealing all of this stuff isn't going to cause some serious backlash?"

"Oh it will, but you see Longshot and I will be fucking over there primitive security systems and making impossible to prove that we did it." Ranger said, smirking maliciously. I always hated it when he did that, it was flat creepy.

"Ok Ranger that's enough. Your spooking Mack… again." Came a voice from Camerons Holo. It glowed and then Longshot popped up next to Cameron. He had choosen a look similar to Ranger, Army ACU's with camo paint and a sniper rifle on his back.

"Longshot." I said, nodding. He returned it and then disappeared again. With the planning session done we all packed up bags and went to bed, we weren't leaving until next Friday but I wanted to be ready to go ASAP.
