While all the ruckus was taking place at both Narita Airport and Tokyo Station, Yobito-san was nowhere to be found; it was presumed that he had escaped the task force-vs.-dual syndicates-standoff right around the time Shinoda called in the Mexican drug cartel troops to shut down as many of the exits of Narita Airport as possible. Apparently unaware of the ongoing situations unfolding with both sets of opposing groups, he headed off to the Tokyo Dome to catch the international matchup featuring the Yomiuri Giants and the Lotte Giants, from Busan, South Korea, before another sellout crowd of 46,125 that was even more unaware of the dual political crises than he was. The game started off as a "pitchers' duel" through its first 4 1/2 innings, with both teams combining for four hits (two apiece) off starting pitchers Toshiya Sugiuchi and Song Seung-jun; after that, however, with Yomiuri shortstop Hayato Sakamoto hitting a three-run homer off Seung-jun in the bottom of the sixth inning, knocking him out of the game, and catcher Kang Min-ho answering with a two-run shot of his own for Lotte in the top of the seventh inning, causing him to also get pulled from the game in favor of a bullpen pitcher. Entering the game in the bottom of that inning in relief of Seung-jun, "sidearmer" Chong Tae-hyon promptly shut down the Yomiuri bats, and Jim Adduci hit another three-run homer for Lotte to give them a sudden 5-3 lead after almost five full innings of almost no offense whatsoever. That lead held, as Tae-hyon continued his mastery of Yomiuri, giving the South Korean visitors what would become a 6-3 win, with Min-ho hitting his second homer of the game, a solo shot, in the top of the eighth inning to seal the win once and for all. Immediately following his team's win in its impromptu visit to Japan, Lotte manager Lee Jong-un was informed by another CIA agent, Rick Ableton, about the ongoing situations, and pressed to return to South Korea A.S.A.P.:
"Mr. Lee... There's been a set of standoffs unfolding throughout your team's time here, and it was recommended by one of my fellow agents in the middle of one of the situations, Dean Hannelman, that you return, preferably to Seoul, before either of the situations spreads through any other parts of Tokyo, and escape the worst of these crises."
Given the "distraction" nature of baseball in both countries, Lee was, naturally, reluctant to evacuate his team so soon, but after agent Ableton informed Yomiuri manager Kaoru Okazaki of the same crises, he returned to Lee to make another pitch for the team's safety, and he accepted that offer to get evacuated from Tokyo by the authorities. As soon as both teams, the Yomiuri fans comprising the majority of the 46,125 in attendance, and the Lotte fans traveling in from Busan and Seoul were all safely evacuated from the Tokyo Dome immediately following the game, the CIA agents showed up to survey the area for any potential secret yakuza activities, since the members might very well have used the guise of having the game going on around them to set up their nefarious plans. Once they found no visible evidence of any "pre-planning" by any yakuza members, the agents suddenly got a surprise phone call from Yobito-san, who was somehow still roaming inside the Dome, wondering, more or less, "where the game had gone":
"I just sat through this whole game, expecting there to be the usual post-game activities inside and around the Dome, including the Tokyo Dome City outside... Where is everybody?"
(A): "Forget about any of those "post-game activities" this time around... What's more important is that you either stay far away from any areas of this building normally "open to the public", or leave now, in order to ensure your continued safety!"
(H): "If I were you, I would stay out of the line of sight of anybody with even a hint of tattoos, 'cause as I'm sure you very well know by now, that's how "they" get their targets - they look for people wandering around by themselves, and they smuggle 'em off to nobody-knows-where for the horror show of their lives!"
"So, does that mean I'll have to avoid the box office, press box, stands, and other "open" areas of this dome for the time being, if I'm not already outside before then?"
(A): "If you do get caught, you might as well-"
(H, interrupting): "...forget about your life!"
(A, taken aback by said interruption): "...uuuummmmmm... just do what my counterpart just told you, and you should be just fine..."
"I think I might as well flee the premises, then, before any of my former men notice me trying to avoid them deep inside this building..."
Meanwhile, in the aforementioned Tokyo Dome City just outside the Dome, there was a somewhat hastily assembled gathering of FARC rebels, led this time by Joaquín Gómez, whose faction within FARC, the Southern Bloc, was reportedly responsible for former Colombian Senator Ingrid Betancourt's 2002 kidnapping, the 2003 car bombing outside El Nogal nightclub (popular with visiting businesspeople and diplomats), and just the most overall conflicts with various Colombian governments, to plan the group's infiltration of the Dome:
"Oye, señores del FARC! Si nuestra plan de infiltración de este Dome sera exitoso, tendremos de ejecutar nuestra comunicación con los japoneses 'al pie de la letra'! En seguir hacia al dentro de esta maravilla de la ingeniería, nosotros, en paralelo con los del 'yakuza', buscaremos al palco donde la prensa se ocupa en todos los juegos de beisbol, los conciertos, y toda esa *****, y trataremos de robar todos los equipos de transmisión en ese palco de la prensa, para poder burlarse de todos los ratones de todos los equipos de todos los leyes habidos y por haber, tanto japonés como colombiano, estadounidense, ya los saben... Así que '¡a entrar!' ha sido declarado!"
Due to the FARC rebels' sudden movements into Tokyo, the law enforcement agents were initially caught off-guard, but, once word arrived into the combined team's headquarters in a top secret location inside Narita Airport, which could not, try as they might, get found out by the rebels, they scrambled all of their people, leading to the start of an all-out offensive on both sides in the middle of the Japanese capital...
