Chapter 20: Attack Plan

     'After watching a few episodes of anime, Johan stood up. He ran back upstairs to wake everyone up. Frank woke up first. All he needed was a light shake to wake up. Aaron and Lily both needed a bit more encouragement. Johan woke Aaron up by lightly releasing a little bit of static from Battery. However, when Johan did this to Lily, nothing happened.
     In an effort to wake her up, Aaron carried Lily and then Johan shook her while she was in Aaron's arms. Nothing happened. Aaron then put Lily back on the bed.
     This time, Johan tried to shake her as hard as he could. Nothing happened.
     As a last resort, Johan poured some water on Lily's face. Then she woke up. And her expression was not a pleasant one.
     "What the heck was that?!" she shouted, groggily.
     Johan explained to her that he tried to wake her up using other means but to no avail.
     Lily just rolled her eyes and then went into the shower booth. Then Aaron asked a question.
    "Why did you wake us up in the first place?" Aaron asked.
     "It's 5:25 now, and we need to eat dinner and make an attack plan," Johan responded.
     Aaron nodded. He went downstairs. Johan told Lily to meet them downstairs, and then followed suit.
     First, Johan located the Sun Guild HQ and then Warp Gated there. He mind controlled the receptionist into bringing the leaders to the front desk. She went upstairs and then came back with two men in tuxedos walking next to her.
     "Well, well, well, if it isn't The Rogue One, also known as The Shadow Mage, The Flying Devil, The Thunder Dragon, and Johan Kim. What do you want?" A leader asked.
     "I want the Sun Guild to join me in an assault on Globalous HQ," Johan answered.
     "And why should the Sun Guild comply?" a leader questioned.
     "Because the purpose of guilds was to defeat Globalous and keep The Ability under control," Johan countered.
      "As if we would cooperate with a wanted criminal-"
     The leader was cut off by Johan's Shadow Implosion. It was a controlled one, at about quarter power. Still, there were huge holes in the roof and walls, and everything in the lobby was destroyed. "Next time, I hit with full power," Johan threatened.
     The leaders and receptionist were activating their powers. Obviously, they ignored the threat. But, Johan used Shadow Explosion this time at one eighth power. Now, the guild wasn't visible. The only thing in sight were a mass of some very confused looking guild members.
     "I will fix the guild building if you cooperate," Johan said.
     Johan then used Paranoia Wave. The guild leaders were trembling in fear. He also used Re-Wire to force them to accept. "Th-the Sun Guild will cooperate," one of the leaders said, stuttering.
     Johan then used Time Editor to fix the entire guild building. He also used it on himself to reverse the cool down of Shadow Implosion and Shadow Explosion. Time Editor also had a cool down, and it was a long 24 hours. Since he had never used it before, Johan never got the chance to shrink the cool down time; with Shadow Implosion and Shadow Explosion, he decreased the cool down by over tenfold.
     Johan told them when to meet, and then he said he would e-mail them the attack plan. Then, he Warp Gated back home.
     The five of them sat in the living room. "Let's talk strategy. Okay Frank, did you get the layout of Globalous HQ?" Johan asked.
     Frank nodded. Then he began creating a plan. "We can get in through the back entrance by sneaking into Stronghold A and then taking the elevator to the HQ. We can have the Sun Guild's forces surround Stronghold A. While the bulk of the Sun Guild is distracting the Globalous Army, we'll bring the elite forces from the Sun Guild with us and sneak into the HQ. This'll all have to happen within ten minutes. When we're in, we'll split up. Half of us will deactivate the security cameras, while the other half sets up explosives. When we're done, we'll attack the guards head on. Since the Globalous building is circular, we'll meet at a choke point in one of the halls. We'll set he explosives for five minutes. Johan can Warp Gate us all out, and then we'll pretend to retreat. When the bombs go off, we'll storm Globalous HQ again and arrest everyone."
     Johan had an objection to make. "Sneaking in will be really hard, as their are traps everywhere. Also, arresting everyone, especially the leaders, will be very difficult as well. How about this:instead of having the Sun Guild's forces surround the building, we should concentrate them on the weakest part of the outer wall. Also, instead of sneaking in, can't we just Warp Gate in?" Johan asked.
     Frank shook his head. "Remember how Warp Gate works? You have to know exactly where you'll go. Since you've only ever seen the chemical storage room, you won't know where to teleport."
     Johan nodded. "Okay then, we'll sneak in. But how do we disarm the traps?"
     Frank smiled. "All the traps are activated via security cameras. If we shut the security cameras off, there won't be any."
     "So, where is the security camera deactivation room?" Johan asked.
     Frank pointed to a small section of the building on the map.
     Then, Johan came up with a near-perfect strategy.
     "First, we'll have melee fighters climb the walls of the least heavily defended section. The ranged fighters will stand on the hill over here and will attack the foundation and guards of the wall from a distance to weaken it and make it easier to climb or destroy. When at least half of the melee fighters have either gone over the wall or a section of the wall has been destroyed, we will send the ranged fighters on a hill-hopping expedition; simply stated, we'll send squadrons of ranged fighters onto these other hills to destroy the walls and guards within half a mile from the edges of the melee squadron. This'll allow us to deploy the Sun Guild's heavy weapons, more space for melee fighters, and for us to use aerial combat.
     "As soon as the wall is either breached or half the melee fighters have cleared the outer wall, we'll send aerial fighters to the inner wall to destroy it. Meanwhile, while the Globalous Army is distracted, we'll sneak in with the explosives. We'll set a few of them off near the security room to deactivate the cameras. Then, while the alarm is going off, we'll quickly set up the explosives. But, instead of setting them all off at the same time, we'll set each one off within 30 seconds of the one before it. This way, the Army will be confused.
     "That's when we make our escape. Instead of arresting the guards and Globalous Army, we'll surround them. The Elite Globalous Force and the leaders will be forced to come out. We'll beat them with numbers. Even though they have control over the chemical and a ridiculous amount of power, we'll pull through."
     Everyone agreed to the plan. Johan sent the plan to the Sun Guild. They ate dinner, washed up, and went to sleep.
