Chapter 12

"hey lica, what do you think is really going?" miku said

The girls were all now in the infirmary, in the private room, where the doctor was currently looking at their results, along with the nurse.

"even i dont really know miku." lica said, looking a bit pale

"me too." rena said, looking a bit sick

"girls, if im going to say anything, please concentrate first on our current situation." nikki said, looking also a bit sick

"hey doc, just what are the results?" sheryl said, now looking a bit pale

"girls, i think im going to need you all to have a pregnancy test." the doctor said

"why doc? Is it really?" lica said, almost as happy as the other girls hearing it

"maybe. Since the CT scans shows absolutely nothing wrong with you all, except maybe that you girls are getting a bit fat." the doctor said

"a bit fat? Why--" nikki said, but was stopped by lica

"ok, we will. But if it really isnt?" lica said, as the nikki agrees

"how about taking the test first? Before you girls will complain?" the female nurse said, a bit irritated

"hahh.. Ok." lica said, as the girls agree for now

Meanwhile, back to leo..

"reporting sir, im afraid that the president and the old emperor of japan has also died, along the way to their assigned base." loid said to ken, as he enters the room

They were still continuing with their briefing, when loid came.

"i see. So now its all up to us to defend this country, as the other countries are also busy, from the activation of the zombie protocol." ken said

"what about the other heads of state?" leo said, concerned

"dead. As i have confirmed that they also appeared near the diet building, and has already captured many of them." ken said, as he can only clench his fist upon frustration.

"damn.. So its all up to us now." leo said, seriously

"no, its up to you now leo, as the last remaining survivor of the illuminati." ken said

"yeah, we know.. But just what are you guys talking about? Whats the zombie protocol? If i may ask, sir." loid said

"you explain leo, im just going to go to general cedric right at the control room." ken said, as he points towards the control room

"ok.. What do you need to know?" leo said

"from the beginning please." loid said, before leo offers a seat

"the zombie protocol, is a series of operations which will lead to defending our home planet from any alien invaders, specially the krood. First off, we start with space, which we will have to shut down all satellites, and transmit a silent message to all people of the world, within the range of cell towers. Then we also have no air flights, as the krood can fly, though only at a certain range. Do you understand so far colonel?" leo said

"how can the krood fly? When they mostly have big bodies?" loid said

"they have a spectrum of sizes, and their flight would also depend according to their weight and gravity. As per research shows over the past years. Can i continue?" leo said, as loid agrees

"next we have land, where just like in zombie movies, we gather all survivors and fight with them. Whats more, as we already have shelters and strongholds in various areas, all we have to do is defend them, while we live inside those strongholds. And within those, there are also several underground routes, which lets the civilians escape, if ever an emergency arises. Then we also shut down all cell towers, and switch to a better mode." leo said

"and what is that mode of communication?" loid said

"underground and underwater. 2 modes." leo said, as he now understands

"just like in the old wars right?" loid said

"yes. But as the krood cant swim, or at least havent yet able to swim in deeper depths, there are also shelters located underwater. And thats all of the zombie protocol, of which must be headed by any heads of state. And in an emergency, any member of the illuminati in their country." leo said

"so thats why you were called. Should i call you sir leo then?" loid said

"as this now makes me somewhat like royalty? No. You can always call me leo, if you want. You are older than--" leo said, but was cut off

"hey leo, should we also deploy project advanced?" ken said, as he appeared at the door

"yes please." leo said

"are you sure? This might reveal to them our trump card." ken said

"yes. If we are to save everyone that can be saved, its always better to fight." leo said, before ken left again

"now whats that?" loid said, curious

"project advanced is.." leo said

Around the world, many battles have begun, where both soldiers and civilians fought side by side. All against a common enemy, no matter what faction they were at.

"can i speak with leo for the moment?" lica said

The girls were now just outside the door to the infirmary, where lica approached one of the guards.

"unfortunately, sir leo is busy right now." the guard said

"but we have something to inform him! Like now!" sheryl said, pleading

"ugh.. But our task is just to protect all of you, we cant just let you leave." the other guard said

"then have no worries girls, you are certainly safe in this stronghold." loid said, as he appears

"and who are you?" rena said, suspicious

"i was tasked by the most powerful man on earth right now, to tell you girls on something im totally against." loid said

"just say it already. Im currently having headaches right now." rena said

"oh, sorry for the late introduction. Im colonel loid watson, and i have been tasked to tell you that you currently have 2 options, as also being decided by the current generals." loid said

"and what is that?" nikki said

"one is to be content with your current status, and to just be with him, and his wives. Or always be with him at leos side, and be his strength and brains when needed?" loid said

"what do you mean?" miku said

"if you wont tell us everything, we cant really decide anything." lica said

"let me change the question then.. Are you girls satisfied with just being his wives? Or will you fight with him? On his battlefield?" loid said, seriously

"your question doesnt--" rena said, but was stopped by lica

"you want to ascertain our resolve, am i right?" lica said, seriously, as loid agrees.

"then look no further, we have already resolve ourselves to being his strength, if he really needs it." nikki said, with confidence, as the girls looks at loid with determination

"hahh.. Looks like i need not ask huh." loid said, giving up the serious look. "congratulations girls, as of today, the five of you are now the new illuminati." he said, with a salute

"huh?!" the girls said, surprised

"please explain." lica said, before loid explains the current situation

They were now moved into the meeting room, where the girls are now sitting, all except loid.

"let me get this straight. The previous illuminati had gone done the stupidest thing, to mess with things they didnt even understand, and ended up dead?!" rena said

"and whats more, mikus parents are dead too?! And now the whole world is in deep trouble, thanks to what they did?!" sheryl said

"now, you want us to be the new illuminati?! But we are all still high school girls!" miku said

"i thought you girls have already resolved yourselves?" loid said

"yes, but we are still high school girls for gods sake." nikki said, as even she cant believe it

"i know, but the illuminati was normally a council, there to help with the worlds affairs during any time. From the krood war, to after it." loid said

"so thats what you mean. So, what do we have to do?" rena said

But before loid was about to explain, lica wasnt feeling well all this time, so she barfed at the side again.

"lica, are you alright?!" nikki said, now slowly massaging licas back, as she was the one sitting beside her

"we really need to talk to leo, right now." lica said to loid, as loid agrees

Then they moved towards where leo is, who was at the control room, also giving orders while looking at the table monitor filled with videos of the current situation.

"leo, we have a problem!" loid shouted, as he opened the door

"whats the problem?!" leo said, before the girls got inside

"leo, we are pregnant." lica said, as the girls were serious about it

"on whose child?!" ken said, surprised as well

"mine." leo said, seriously
