"Okay Misaki, I'll explain it one more time." I said, my voice coming out from the watch he wore as he stood, waiting on top of a overlooking building.

"December 26, late at night, the mission that was named "Surprise Party"." I started.
"Where a crowd of 3000 people are flocking to bar Homra."
"This is Jungle making trouble for them."
"During that interval, we'll hack Jungle."

"Bar Homra is the "Red Monster"'s group's headquarters." Saruhiko joined in.
"While they aim at somebody else's castle, Jungle will have their own castle hijacked."

"They're coming together one after another." Misaki informed.

"The street is brimming with people." I added, from my position at one one of the major streets leading to the bar.

"That it came like this is kind of a sick scene, rather than amazing." Misaki grimaced a little.
"How are things at your side Saruhiko?"

"Still not moving." Saruhiko said, at home, in front of his PC, under a blanket and canned drinking black coffee.

"Hm...?"
"Somebody's come out." Misaki observed.

"The Red Monster?"

"No, seems like subordinates came to check out the situation."

"Most of their opponents are ordinary people, and furthermore, middle and high school students." I speculated.
"They can't just suddenly pick a fight with kids and strike them."

"...One more minute before midnight." Saruhiko waited.
"30 seconds."
"10 seconds."
"3,2,1..."
"The hacking program started."

The hacking program Saruhiko made was in the form of dinosaurs. As the clock struck mignight, they burst out of the shells and started towards a building labled "Jungle".

"Saruhiko!"
"Something weird just started to happen."
"Everybody pulled out some kind of mask..."

"What the... did they all come together and practice or something?" Misaki questioned, when all 3000 people stomped their feet in sync.

"No, there are instuctions on the PDA."
"I'm hacking into the participants PDA's so I can see it."

BONUS TIME!
Let the firecrackers burst!
Was the current instruction on the screen.

Everyone took out multiple firecrackers and shot them with loud bangs, stomping as well.

"Ooh, I wanna try to them."
"Looks like fun." Misaki commented.

"Don't lose focus." I warned him.

"I-I'm not!"
"Ah-"
"The guy with the Kansai dialect came out."

"Number 2 was pulled out huh."
"Misaki, it's going to move on my side soon, too."
"Proceed according to the plan."

"Ro-Roger!"
"Leave it to me!"

The dinosaurs on the screen started to chomp at the building.
Meanwhile on one of the participant's PDA, the following message appeared.
"Hanyama-san, good evening. We contacted you for an urgent notice. Our server is under attack and has been invaded. To save your user information we will stop service for one hour."

Meanwhile, Misaki stood in the crowd, taking a deep breath and shouting, "Oh no this is real bad!"
"There's a cyber attack on Jungle, it's being hijacked!"

"...Too loud!"Saruhiko and I both deadpanned, while he ripped the ear piece out.
"Also that sounded super fake."

"Circulating fake official information on the participant's PDAs."
"Also Yata sneaking into the participants and incites them to increase authenticity."
"Jungle should also notice the disorder among the participants and be suspicious."
"When they wonder, "Were we really invaded?"
"If they unlocked the door to check if a burglar had come in, then they'd give him the perfect opportunity to force the door open."
"If they shut themselves off, then he could in the meantime, disguised as official information, manipulate dozens of users."
