"The question is how soon?"  Aika responded to Joy's enthusiasm.  "Thanks to Miku, we know where this secret hideout is found...but maybe we can get a little more information on it before we attack."  She turned back to the Air Dragon.  "We were told of a secret route in the Shopping District that would lead us past the main defenses of the Fangs to their main hangout."<br/><br/>"You'd need one.  Ever since you two bloodied their noses, the Fangs have been pulling back all over to defend that place.  There's dozens of Fangs waiting for the two of you to show up; the Viper hopes she can drown the pair of you in a flood of her men.  She knows she'll lose them - a lot of them, maybe even all of them - but to her, it doesn't really matter what happens, as long as Mikaboshi is allowed to enter our world."  The statement was direct.  "However, I can't tell you where the secret hideout is in relation to your route; I would need to see where it starts.  If we're fortunate, then it won't be that far off the path towards the main headquarters."<br/><br/>Aika nodded.  "We can head there tomorrow morning, show you where we'd start...maybe even take on a few more of the Fangs."<br/><br/>"Very well."
