Chapter 6 - Battle stations

Shinigami, after learning of the location of, and plans of the new Arachnophobia organisation, decided to quickly mobiles every able body person within Shibusen to move out and destroy the organisation permanently before it was too late.[br]
Everyone on the mission already knew the basic objective of their mission. Wipe out all Arachnophobia operatives at all costs. For some people in this eradication mission there was a much more serious objective to complete. That is the prevention of the new Kishin’s awakening and if that failed then try and destroy it quickly before it reaches full power.[br]
[br]
The people assigned to this mission were naturally all available Shibusen staff and students. But the ones that had the task of eliminating the Kishin fell to only a handful of people. These people were Soul and Maka, who defeated the previous Kishin, Asura, with the help of Black Star with his shadow weapon partner Tsubaki, and Death the Kidd with his weapon partners the Thompson sisters, Liz and Patty. Finally the one leading this small group is Professor Stein.[br]
[br]
“Alright everyone ready” barked Sid who is serving as field commander of the coming battle[br]
“Yes sir” everyone hollered[br]
“Good” Sid continued “Remember this will be a very chaotic battle so just keep calm and try to adjust to the ever changing situation. But above all stay alive”[br]
“Yes sir” everyone hollered again as Sid brought out a map of the area[br]
“Alright this will be the battle plan. Mifune will be taking his squad and lure the enemy out with a frontal attack. While Mifune is keeping the enemy occupied, everyone else is to surround and attack the Arachnophobia base. If we can get inside, all the better, but if you can’t, then just keep the enemy busy while Professor Stein and his Demon hunting squad infiltrates the base.” Sid instructed “Now you all know what to do, so lets go out their and show them what we’re made of”[br]
“Yes sir” everyone hollered one last time before they all dispersed to get their last minute preparations done.[br]
[br]
Professor Stien and his Demon Hunting squad were already on the move to the Arachnophobia base but Sid stopped them to have just one more word with them[br]
“Be careful in there you guys. Who knows what strange things lurk inside while you’re looking for the Kishin” Sid said concerned[br]
Everyone just nodded as they were fully aware of what their enemies were capable of.[br]
[br]
Elsewhere Mifune and his squad were getting their final preparations done as they would be the one to take most of, or all the force that Arachnophobia had to offer.[br]
“Mifune Sensei” a timid voice asked[br]
“Hmm? Oh Crona is something the matter?” Mifune pondered[br]
“Oh, it’s just, that this is my first real fight after losing Ragnarok, and well it’s just that….um” Crona timidly stated[br]
“Your feeling a little exposed, right?” answered Mifune[br]
“Hm hmm”[br]
“Don’t worry” Mifune said putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder “I’m not going to let anything happen to this squad and that includes you.”[br]
Crona simply smiled as she was now convinced that nothing bad would happen so long as Mifune was around[br]
“Oh that reminds me” Mifune announced “I have a little gift for you”[br]
Crona was taken aback “A gift? For for me?”[br]
“Since I started working in Shibusen to teach kids how to be a samurai swords master. I’ve noticed that not everyone likes to, or rather are inept to use my style of sword fighting. However that in its self is a good thing as everyone should be allowed and be able to use their own style of fighting and I’ve noticed that you have a very specific and unique style of fighting” Mifune analysed as he took out of his bag a sword that looked extremely similar to what Ragnarok looked like in his weapon form “This is for you. I’m aware that you’re more used to this design of sword”[br]
Crona was in absolute awe as she took hold of the sword that Mifune presented her “It’s amazing” she said as she looked at the blade which had an inscription in Japanese Kanji saying “Ragnarok”[br]
“Do you like it?” Mifune asked[br]
“Yes I do” Crona said almost cheering “Thank you”[br]
[br]
Meanwhile whilst Shibusen was preparing to go to battle. Within Arachnophobia Mosquito was feeling restless[br]
“How long is it going to take for her to be complete” Mosquito questioned the scientists[br]
“I think if all goes well she’ll be complete within the next twenty four hours” one of the scientist replied[br]
“Finally” Mosquito sighed out of relief that this business would soon be over. But his sigh of relief was to be short lived[br]
“Mosquito we have a problem” the man in black robes said as he appeared in the room[br]
Mosquito started to get alarmed “And the problem is what exactly?”[br]
“I’ve just got word from one of my spies that Shibusen is marching straight here with a large squad of troops”[br]
“What?” Mosquito gasped “How did they find us?”[br]
“That should be of little concern right now. It doesn’t matter how they find us. What matters that they are coming here and they will surely ruin everything we’ve worked so hard to achieve” the black robed man stated[br]
“You’re right. So let’s give Shibusen a very warm welcome” Mosquito agreed[br]
[br]
Mosquito then activated an intercom and made an announcement[br]
“Attention all Arachnophobia operatives. We are now entering a state of emergency. Shinigami’s dogs have found us and are marching straight here. I want all personnel to guard this base at all costs, we must not allow them enter the base to capture or destroy the new Kishin. You all should know what to do now go prepare for battle”[br]
[br]
“Think that we have enough force to stop them Mosquito?” the black robed man enquired[br]
“We have no choice but to hold them back for as long as possible” Mosquito replied “But if push comes to shove we might be left with no choice but to awaken the Lady Oni as incomplete as she is”[br]
“I understand. I will personally organise a defence strategy to stop or at least slow down Shibusen’s advance” said the black robed man as walked out of the room leaving Mosquito alone with the now frantic scientist and Oni who was inside her Kishin rebirth chamber.[br]
“Don’t worry Lady Oni” Mosquito spoke out aloud “I will not let any of these curs near you, so long as I breath, Shinigami will not have you, even if I have to use all my strength to do so”[br]
