Ok, sorry for the long wait, been very busy in school and such. Anyway, not much happens this chapter, just the heroes catching up on things and doing the obvious thing for this situation. Enjoy!

Desperate Measures

JSDF HQ, 8:50 am;

Aso had explained the situation. “We recorded the video transmission.” he said. “Watch.” he said as the screen changed to Lance from the control room of the Asuka Fortress, his Red Bamboo uniform on.

“Hello Prime Minister.” said Lance, sinister smirk on his face. “I am Lance, supreme commander of Red Bamboo.” he said. “We have taken control of your Asuka Fortress and its completely under our control.” he said. “If our demands are not met, we shall use Asuka and the Xanadu to attack Tokyo and conquer Japan.” he said. “The government of Japan is to be dissolved and I am to be made ruler with Red Bamboo replacing the former government.” he said. “Also, the capital of Japan will be the Asuka Fortress.” he said, smiling. “You have 24 hours to comply or we will unleash the advanced technology of the Asuka Fortress on Japan.” he finished, laughing evilly. “The clock is ticking!”

The transmission ended and Aso was back. “We have no chance against the Asuka Fortress, it is too advanced for our normal military force to overtake.”

Kuroki sighed. “How could Lance of been one of Red Bamboo? Let alone their leader?” he asked, shocked. “I’ve known the guy for five years.” he said. “I guess he was just really good at keeping it secret.”

“I say we use the Super-XII to retake the Asuka Fortress, it’s the most powerful thing in our arsenal outside the Fortress itself.” said Katagiri, impatient with this distraction to killing Godzilla more than angry at what was threatening Japan.

“We could but your Reiconium Cannon allowed Godzilla to severely damage it.”

Aso sighed. “So we’re defenseless against the Asuka Fortress.” he said. “There is nothing we can do against it next to a nuclear weapon, which Japan’s strict nuclear policies prevent us from using.”

“There is another way.” said Miki, coming up with an idea. “There is one nuclear weapon we can use.”

“And what is that?” asked Katagiri, not liking Miki very much and showing it in his expressions.

“Godzilla.”

“Godzilla?!” yelled Katagiri. “You can’t be serious!”

“Actually, she may be onto something.” said Kuroki. “If we lure Godzilla to the Asuka Fortress, he’ll likely attack it.” he said. “And its very likely he’d destroy it or at least give us a chance to retake it.”

Muraki had walked in during the video feed and now said, “But Inamura is likely in there, if Godzilla is unleashed on it, Inamura could be killed.” he said. “Could we possibly use Godzilla approaching from the front to sneak into the Fortress somehow?”

“Its possible.” said Aso. “While Godzilla is facing the first line of defenses, we could send a team in through the maintenance tunnels underneath it.” he said. “But I’m afraid we can’t risk any soldiers.”

“Its fine, I’ll go.” said Miki. “My psychic powers will let me sense things coming.” she said. “That and I’ve received some training in fighting at the institute and know how to use a gun.”

“I’ll go too.” said Muraki. “I can hold my own in a fight.” he said. “Plus, most of the Red Bamboo soldiers are going to be manning the defenses against Godzilla.”

“We have one problem.” said Katagiri. “How do we lure that demon to the Asuka Fortress?”

“You already answered that.” said Kuroki. “The Super-XII.”

Ocean, 9:20 am;

The Super-XII turned around and fired missiles at Godzilla, getting the saurian’s attention. It retreated in the direction of the Asuka Fortress, firing at Godzilla enough to infuriate him into following it. In Godzilla’s mind, this was a challenge and any challenge had to be responded to. He roared and followed, firing his Atomic Ray, though the Super-XII kept dodging. He swore in his mind to obliterate this annoying device, he‘d had enough of it.

JSDF HQ, 10 am;

Miki and Muraki were getting ready to go. Though Miki’s head was still bandaged up, but she was fine except for some pain. Kuroki walked up. “Alright, make sure you don’t head through the tunnels under the Fortress until Godzilla has began his attack on the outer wall.”

“Got it.” said Miki. Kuroki handed her a Magnum and ammo. “What’s this for?”

“Anyone who isn’t Inamura, particularly that traitor Lance.”

“Got it.”

“So how do we get out?” asked Muraki, taking an assault rifle. Kuroki gave both a crash course in using the guns before answering the question.

“Same way you came in or the rear exit if that’s not possible.” said Kuroki. “A helicopter will take you to the entrance of the tunnels. “Good luck.” he said with a salute.

Miki and Muraki returned the salute before boarding the copper.

Ok, next chapter will be better, promise. It's the begining of the battle between Godzilla and the Asuka Fortress!
