Two weeks passed since V and Hanako spoke to each other inside Goro's hideout in which V was waiting desperately for Hanako's call while spending some time with Judy as they went diving together just outside the city since Judy wanted to show her her special place.
She went to meet Hanako alone in Embers which is a High-Class Restaurant while John and Nesiara were already there shadowing her since John was worried that V would fall over as she would normally after meeting Hanako.
V began to bleed from her nose and rushed out toward the elevator in pain and Nesiara looks at John nervously while John was worried himself. They needed to remove the Relic now or never.
V took out her phone and called John who suddenly appeared beside V her with Nesiara. They grabbed her by her shoulders and disappeared arriving at Viktor's place.
Viktor was treating a person at the moment and John placed V on the spare chair Vik has while looking at V who was in more pain than back in Judy's apartment. Her head felt like it would split up at any given moment when she suddenly feel the pain reducing and she sees John holding his hands over her head while Nesiara was holding her hands over her chest.
V was slowly getting better and John walked over to help Viktor with his patient so they could examine V's body. Shortly after they were done V was sitting on the main chair and Vik let his scans go over V.
He wasn't happy because John and Nesiara were only treating the symptoms not the cause of them. He looked at them and asks in anger, "When will this all be over? Her body can't hold on any longer!"
"It will be over in the next two days. I would recommend that you and Misty stay here since it will be quite rough the next two days," says John as he looked at the sleeping V.
"So we are finally attacking Arasaka," says Johnny excitedly which John and Viktor ignored since they couldn't hear him.
"So it seems but first we need V to infiltrate with Jackie before we can strike," says Nesiara the only one able to hear Johnny when Graves appears beside Johnny.
"Then let us deal with it as fast as possible," says Graves wanting the best for V since her body wouldn't last another relapse like the one before.
V slowly woke up and looked at the five people that were standing before her and asks, "How long was I out?"
"Four hours, it must have been quite the beauty sleep for you since you hadn't slept much lately," says John in a worried tone when he sat down and asks, "Do you want to continue with my plan?"
"Yes, let us finish this," says V wanting to stand up only to almost fall to the ground if John and Vik hadn't caught her.
"We will wait for a while how about we call Jackie over," says John as they helped V sit down again.
"I told you it was a dumb idea to take those pills and let Johnny take over for the gig and the meeting with Kerry," says Graves to V as he was genuinely worried about V since Johnny is an egocentric bastard and that will never change.
"Anyway, we all had our fun," says Johnny as he sits in a corner waiting for V to get up.
"Both of you shut up, my head still feels like it could split apart," says V making both shut up while Nesiara called Jackie over.
"How about we go outside and you take in some fresh air," says John as he helped V up again.
"Fresh Air in the middle of NC? You must be kidding me," says V joking about it when they disappear and appear on the roof of the building in which Misty has her shop.
"So what now?" asks V as John places her in the plastic chair.
"Now we wait for Jackie and then you call Hanako. Once you are inside wait for Rogue and her team before engaging," says John explaining her part in this plan again.
"And you? Are you going to be alright all alone?" asks V worried forgetting that John could take care of himself.
"Oh, I won't be alone. But I will be the main attraction pulling as much of Arasaka's security to me so everyone else can deal with their mission which is to get you to Mikoshi," says John as he sat down at the edge across from V.
"What will you do after everything is done?" asks V curiously as John smiled at her.
"Return to the World we are needed but first we will need to get you out of NC with Judy and the Aldecaldos," says John feeling a bit relieved because soon he could drop the farce and heal V completely.
Soon Jackie arrived with Misty and Nesiara and V called Hanako to get her and Jackie to the Arasaka Tower. An hour later Goro and Hellman arrived and they left together while John gave V and Jackie an earplug so they were in contact.
In the meantime in the Badlands, Grimoire was fighting off Militech with the Aldecaldos as they were securing their way into the Arasaka Tower which they will drill by using Night Corps equipment.
"How long until you are in Carol?" asks Mitch nervously as he was covering her while the others were fighting outside.
Mitch could see Grimoire fading out of existence before appearing again in another place cutting down their enemies while dodging the bullets of their comrades.
Panam and Saul were piloting the Basilisk they secured before shooting down the enemy air support when Grimoire appears beside Mitch and he says, "We don't have much time. It is now or never."
Carol was doing her best when she finally was in and she shouts, "I am in!"
"Good, open the gate. Panam, you need to leave the Basilisk. Let Saul and Mitch pilot it and escort the Aldecaldos back to camp. We can deal with the rest," says Grimoire touching the earplug in his ear.
"Understood," says Panam feeling in heat because Grimoire was giving her orders which weren't usual to happen.
Saul could feel it since they were linked and says jokingly, "Grimoire, I would be careful she almost wet her pants with you calling the shots."
"Saul!" shouts Panam furiously making the Nomads laugh before Panam jumped out of the Basilisk and joined Grimoire and the others.
"We will deal with the rest. You should leave right away or you won't be able to arrive at Arasaka Tower in time," says Mitch holding his laughter back.
"Thanks, Mitch," says Grimoire as he gives Mitch his gun and continues, "I will get it back when we see each other again."
"You sure?" asks Mitch as it wasn't an ordinary gun but Grimoire nods smiling at him before leaving with Panam entering the tunnel.
They arrive at the drill and they activate it before Grimoire presses the earplug twice changing the frequency when he says, "We are on our way to Arasaka using the Drill."
"Good, they will be waiting for you," says John as V and Jackie were surprised to hear Grimoire.
"Status V?" asks John as Jackie was taking the attention of Takemura and Hellman for a second.
"We need to get Hanako out of Arasaka's mansion in North Oak. Then we will go to Arasaka Tower," whispers V so the other two couldn't hear her.
"Understood," says John who was in the Afterlife with Nesiara and Rogue's team.
"I would never have thought to meet you all again," says Rogue seeing Rebecca and David again.
"Well, it seems that Smasher didn't do a great job in keeping me under the ground," says David cocky as he was holding a Gatling Gun in his hands.
"Be careful with the Sweet Business. It has a light trigger," says John warning David as he bought the gun in a package with other Destiny Weapons which he kept with Nora since Lady loved the new guns John and Nesiara stored in their warehouse.
"Nah, my Guts is fat better than that gun David is holding," says Rebecca as time flew by and V coughs twice and they hear that they are inside Arasaka Tower.
"Time for business," says John as Omega appears in his hand out of nowhere.
"We are moving out," says Rogue to her team as Nesiara joined them while John disappeared.
He appeared in front of the Arasaka Tower and waited for the last signal which soon arrived with V telling them that the meeting has began. John slowly walked toward the Arasaka Tower while Omega was resting on his shoulder.
He entered easily the Arasaka Tower when he was met by an Army of Arasaka Soldiers pointing their weapon at him which made him grin from ear to ear when he pierces the ground with Omega while saying, "It seems you are more prepared than I thought."
"Hands in the air!" shouts one of them and John complies.
"I call upon you, Fool of Owari, to bring forth your army and show my enemies why you are also called the Demon King of the Sixth Hell, Oda Nobunaga," says John as a dark shadow appears beside John taking slowly the shape of a Japanese Man in a black Japanese Armor.
The man had a well-kept mustache and fire in his eyes showing that he was happy to finally be called upon the battlefield again when an army made out of Samurai appeared behind him.
"I have come to show your enemy hell," says Oda Nobunaga as he u sheaths his blade and points it at the Arasaka Army before shouting, "Shibata, bring me their heads. I want to drink wine from their skulls."
A tall man wearing similar armor with a demon facemask holding a giant iron club in his hand says, "Your orders are my command, my Lord."
Shibata rushed in first showing why he was called by his enemies and allies, Oni Shibata, as bullets entered his body leaving the Arasaka Soldiers to look at him in fear since Shibata was still standing as if nothing ever happened before swinging his club killing five men with one swing.
Fear now spread through the enemy ranks and Nobunaga could feel it making a smile appear on his face before shouting, "Attack!"
The army of Samurai rushed at Arasaka Soldiers led by Shibata who was the head of the attack while Nobunaga looked at John confused since John wasn't Arthur when he asks, "So Arthur found a successor. It was finally time if you ask me."
"I am still learning the ropes of this whole Summoning Thing," says John speaking the truth since he doesn't know how many people he could summon yet using Arthur's authority.
"As long as you don't summon the monkey at the same time as me I will fight for you," says Nobunaga making John look at him confused since he didn't know who Nobunaga was talking about as John pulled his sword out of the ground.
