Celly put both of her hands on the large table in front of her and leaned forward. "So, does everyone understand what to do?"

There were nods and murmurs of agreement. Mamoru turned to Celly and asked, "Don't you think this is a bit... much?"

"Why, ‘nii-chan! I'm doing this for you... and for all the other injustices. It's the only way."

Remy looked up from the map she was staring at. "I agree. And we have *Their* full support. We're not forcing anyone to do anything. Don't worry, Mamoru-sama, it'll all work out in the end."

Mamoru finally gave in. "Very well then. I'll go along with this plan too, even though I think it's completely insane. And I'll do my part as well."

Celly gave a happy giggle and hugged him. "You're so cool, ‘nii-chan!" She then turned and faced the others around the table. "Minna-sama, move to your positions and strike at the signal. If we pull this off right, it'll make the morning news!"

As the Special Forces departed, Celly and Remy gave each other a look and smiled.

"Imouto-chan, Mercy-tachi doku wa?"

"Huh? Oh! Remy and I decided that Mercy and Nyx shouldn't be in here while *They* were here. Mercy went into a catatonic state the last time, and Nyx hasn't even met Them yet. We didn't want any mistakes. Besides, Mercy is already in place and knows what the signal is. As for Dion and Orion, well, I'm sure you can guess why we didn't want them here."

"I understand. You know that Dionysus is going to be very upset when he finds out. I see that glassy look in your eyes."

Celly blinked. Was it so obvious? She shook her head. "Well, at least I had time to fully acclimate myself. Remy? Are you ready?"

Remy giggled. "I sure am. My team is good to go."

Celly smiled at her friend's obvious happiness. "Then I have one thing left to do here. SERA?"

>>Hai, Mistress Celeste? What can I do for you?<< the familiar voice came from the ceiling.

"SERA, mark the time. Lambda Project is in full effect."

>>Time marked, Celeste-sama.<<

"SERA, I will be leaving Castle Anthrax. Lock down all personal files, no access except to me. Full security measures in effect until my return."

>>Processing... Full security measures affected.<<

"SERA... Destroy and/or completely erase all files pertaining to Lambda Project."

>>This is a permanent change. Are you sure you want to proceed?<<

"Yes. SERA, erase all files pertaining to Lambda Project."

>>Processing... changes affected.<<

"Arigato, SERA."

>>Nan demo nai, Celeste-sama.<<

Celly stood silently for a moment before shaking her head. She faced her brother and Remy. "Okay... let's make this count then!" Celly opened up a portal and the three jumped through. The other end of the portal opened up in Ichinohashi Park, located in the Juuban Ward of Tokyo. They had arrived in time to see a spectacular sunset. "Alright. It's time to get this party started! ‘Nii-chan, if you please?"

Mamoru smiled and closed his eyes. He concentrated for a moment before a golden aura shot up around him and formed silver and black armor on his body. Celly smiled and closed her eyes as well. Her golden aura flared up and she felt her clothes ripple and change into a familiar green and brown dress. When she opened her eyes, she could see Mamoru holding out his hands to her. Celly stepped up and took them. With their hands tightly clasped together, the two siblings concentrated. Children of Gaea... Heirs of Terra... Their birthright flowed through them. As their auras flared brighter and brighter, and civilians either stared or ran away screaming, they reached together and dropped their hands, striking the ground.

"IT BEGINS!" they yelled in unison.

And with a massive groan, the whole Earth shook.

From Nerima Ward, the young man with a pigtail smiled as he felt the ground shake beneath him. "It's about damned time that the signal came through."

"You're just not a patient man, Ranma," the bandana-wearing man scoffed.

"Ah, shut up, Ryouga." He cracked his knuckles as he stared at the looming hulk of Furinikan High School in front of him. "I've been waiting to do this for a long time..."

"Stop, fiends! Why dost thou stand before the hallowed ground of our education? Foul enslaver of the beloved pigtailed girl! I, the Blue Thunder of Furinikan High, Tatewaki Kuno will stop you!" The samurai-wannabe held his bokken at the ready.

Ranma and Ryouga shared a look and then turned to smirk evilly at Kuno.

"You wanna go first, Ryouga?"

"Sure." Ryouga leapt to action, stabbing the ground beneath the bokken-weilding fool. "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!" The Breaking Point Technique slammed into the ground, causing the concrete to explode violently. "You next, Ranma!"

"Right! Take cover! Yo, Kuno! Eat this!" Gather his chi, Ranma released his most devastating attack. "HIRYUU SHOTEN HA REVISED! HIRYUU KORIN DAN!!!"

A chi attack with the force of a controlled nuclear explosion engulfed Furinikan High.

As the ground rocked beneath England, the group of four looked up. They then turned to survey their target. The man with red hair put down his binoculars and faced his teammates.

"Have the charges been set?"

"Hai, Aya. Ken took care of that," the youngest member of the team replied.

"Security?"

"No need to worry, I checked the place out. We're clear," Yohji said as he took a drag from his cigarette.

"We got the signal," Ken pointed out. "Omi, set off the charges. We need to get to the next target."

"Hai." Omi pressed the trigger and the remote he was holding.

Big Ben exploded beautifully against the starlit night.

"We need to get going. What's our next target, Aya?"

"The Autobahn in Germany."

*********************************************************

The ground shook underneath Florida and the mismatched team of people looked up from what they were doing.

"How strange," the blonde swordsman said out loud, pointing to the other man with short, dusty blond hair. "There was an earthquake and he slept right through it."

"Eagle can sleep through anything, Allen. I'll wake him up and we can get to work." The tall, dark-haired man leaned down and shook his friend's shoulder. "Eagle... Eagle! Wake up."

Eagle blinked his eyes and yawned. "Geo? Is it time?"

The youngest member of the group frowned. "Yes, it is. Let's get to work. Why were we supposed to fight here anyway?"

Eagle giggled. "You don't have to be so grumpy, Van! Celeste-chan said that we have to do this here ‘because we want Eisner to go down.' I don't know what that means, but it sounds like fun."

"Well, let's get this over with then."

The four men boarded their vehicles and powered them up. As they took to the streets, people fled screaming. But some Japanese tourists started to take pictures.

"Let's keep this to hand to hand combat, okay?" Allen said. "Our guymelefs don't have the same capabilities as your mechs."

"Okay," Geo replied. "Some swordplay would be good practice."

Two guymelefes and two mechs proceeded to fight each other in the middle of Disneyworld.

**************************************************

"So why are we here again?" Nyx asked in a bored tone.

"Just wait for it," Mercy said exasperatedly. "Celly said to wait for the signal before doing anything."

"Oh? I'm getting sick of being left in the dark. Just what is this signal supposed to be?"

At that moment the ground started to shake and tremble. Mercy whooped, "Yes!" and held up her hands. She grinned wickedly as power flared through her hands. Nyx looked where Mercy was pointing and her jaw dropped.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!?"

"Having fun!" Mercy laughed as she released a massive blast of energy at her target.

The Statue of Liberty went up in a ball of flame.

Nyx was in shock. "Is this part of the plan?"

"Yup. So are they."

Nyx got another shock as she looked where Mercy was pointing. Two handsome men were *flying* towards them. One had long blond hair and the other had long black hair. Nyx felt a strange tingle as she stared at the two men... no... *angels*. It was the same feeling she got around Nakago, minus the rat bastardliness. They were... Bishounen...

"Kagetsuya!" Mercy shouted, waving her arms. "Messiah! We're over here!"

***************************************************************

The phones at CNN were ringing off the hook.

Celly knew they had to be, what with all the craziness going on. She cast a smile at her brother, who was slumped on his knees beside her. Causing the Earth to respond to their wishes had taken a lot out of the both of them and Celly had collapsed to the ground immediately afterwards. Despite her tiredness, she smiled. Let's see how all the other Otaku respond to this... Then she noticed Remy was sitting patiently, waiting for the two to recover.

"You don't have to wait here, Remy," Celly said. "I know you'd rather be with your group."

"It's okay," Remy replied, as she straightened her borrowed gi. "I can wait a bit. Besides, I want to be there to see all the swordsmen let loose across Tokyo."
