A Cracking Silver Lining

With the message from the Infected, nations scrambled to find a solution. The Ghost contacted the Japanese Government and arranged a meeting in Tokyo.

Ghost of Ottawa. It truly is an honor to meet you. I am Prime Minister Hiroshi. 

The honor is mine.

Please sit. Tell me, you asked to meet with me, why?

There is a way to save our nations. It will take all our combined strengths.

The Japanese Prime Minister looks to the Ghost, his eyes full of a fiery hope. Tell me everything.

The Ghost goes into depth of the New Ottawan's desperate plan to punch open the hole Rothschild had in the Antarctic Ice Barrier. They would sail to into the unknown world leaving the infection behind. 

However, before either party could say another word, explosions rocked the city.

WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT THERE?

Prime Minister! The Infected! They've arrived in Tokyo.

The Ghost looked at the Prime Minister and then to the others. 

Get your people to as many ships as you can! I will buy you time!

As the Ghost entered the streets of Tokyo, he equipped the SR-72PA and marched towards the danger. In the city's center, a larger infected had made its arena. The Ghost marched towards the arena, mowing down infected as he entered. The larger infected wasted no time in trying to infect the Ghost. The Ghost kept his distance, using the gatling cannon to rip through its skin. The creature was no match for the cannon and died in the center of the arena. The Ghost blasted of into the sky heading towards the port when he was the number of infected rushing across Japan.

Juno, this is SR-Actual. Defcon 1, we make our move on Antarctica or we'll be wiped off the god damn map. 

Copy that SR-Actual. The Fleet will be ready upon your....

No, not ready, have them out of the harbor and ready to set sail. Japan has fallen. 

Affirmative, Destiny Island Abandonment Order has been issued, there is no turning back now.

Back on Destiny Island, the New Ottawans pulled down murals and statues, then loaded them onto transport ships. The Island was racing against the clock. If the Infected had hit Japan, there wouldn't be much to stop them from reaching New Ottawa. 

Meanwhile, the Japanese had made it out to sea and the infected had jumped into the water behind them in an attempt to catch them.

Prime Minister! I have a direct line with the Ghost of Ottawa. 

Ghost-San! Have you been infected?

No, I stayed far above them. The New Ottawan Navy will meet us in open waters. We aren't stopping, we make it or we all die. 

Several of the Japanese ships had infected aboard and fell to the Infected. The Japanese Remnant Navy pushed the engines ahead full as they raced towards the intercept point where the New Ottawans had been awaiting their arrival. 

As they broke through the Destiny Island fog, the Ghost and the New Ottawans were racing to beat something, but not infected, the United States Remnant Navy. 

ALL HEROES! TO THE SKY! WE MUST DEFEND THE FLEET LONG ENOUGH FOR THE JAPANESE TO CATCH UP!

Planes and armor joined up with the Ghost who was already gunning to breach the blockade. 

This is the US Navy, you are in violation of NATO Treaty...

The Ghost opened fire as he came into range. The others joined him in splitting their fire.

OS Ottawan Resolve! RAM THE BLOCKADE! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

The Conductor of Ottawa signaled the engine room to give the boilers everything they had. The battleship began to pick up speed as they approached the US Blockade.

PETTY OFFICER PERRY! THEY'RE GONNA RAM US!

ARE THEY INSANE!?

The OS Ottawan Resolve rammed into the Destroyer and made a hole for the other ships to rush through. The Ghost and his flyers managed to keep the opening secured until the last ship made it through.

JUNO! GET CONSTITUTION ON DECK AND HAVE HER OPEN FIRE HER WIDE BEAM AT THE ICE! ONCE WE REACH ABOUT 200 METERS FROM THE WALL, FIRE THAT WEAPON!

As instructed Constitution arrives on deck and begins opening fire. The channel she makes is wide enough for two ships to float side by side through it. The US ships begin their pursuit of the escaping fleet. 

ALL SHIPS! ALL PLANES! ALL FLYERS! ONCE CONSTITUTION FIRES THE ACCELERATOR, OPEN FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT AT THE BARRIER!
