Mission File #323

Description:
After their failed plan to kidnap and torture Emma, Golden Calf came to the conclusion that they needed to target the Guardians directly instead of using idols to attack them. They created a giant, black, cube-like structure called The Fourfold Trap, which contained four different rooms with four deadly traps. Golden Calf then proceeded to kidnap the Guardians. Moonlark, Kyle, Kei, and Tamaki were stuffed into The Fourfold Trap, while also having Chihiro and Jinsei tied up and forcing them to watch. Jeremy, who had just returned from Phelan, quickly got word of the Guardians getting kidnapped after having a reunion with the Nijigasaki School Idol Club, and set out to rescue them. Arriving at Jogashima Park, Jeremy proceeded to infiltrate a reactivated decommissioned navy ship the Andreassen personally acquired, which happened to have a strong chain connecting it to The Fourfold Trap. He was about to confront Andreassen, but Andreassen had an extra surprise for Jeremy: He had the Wakana Family create a mind control helmet to make its wearers fully obedient to him, and he placed it onto the very first idol that Jeremy swore to protect, Keke. Under Andreassen's control, Keke proceeded to fight a reluctant Jeremy, who allowed Keke to pummel him, as he refused to fight her, while Andreassen went to the bridge and started the ship as part of a "failsafe phase" to strand the Guardians in the middle of the ocean. However, Moonlark, Kyle, Kei, and Tamaki managed to escape The Fourfold Trap, with Moonlark having a brawl with Andreassen. As Keke proceeded to pummel Jeremy, the latter continued to speak to her of doing things on her own accord, something he had learned when observing the other idol groups, where each of their members have done things on their own, rather than with their respective groups, which is something that Liella has been doing less often ever since they sided with Golden Calf. Moved by his words, Keke shakily managed to remove the helmet and throw it into the ocean, declaring to Andreassen that despite working for Golden Calf, she and Jeremy are still friends. However, Andreassen decided to shoot Keke out of anger, only for Jeremy to shove her out of the way and take the bullet, which sent flying into the ocean, much to everyone's shock, including Golden Calf, who had been watching the whole ordeal via drone coverage. Andreassen then got into a lifeboat, drove away, and disappeared.
