Prologue: We are Activated
Disclaimer: I do not own anything.
"Our mission is to save what remains, to save what's left of Humanity. We are The Division." Lieutenant Colonel Kakashi Hatake former Japanese Special Forces Group, Callsign: Home (To every Agent listening)
In 2001 a real world exercise tested the emergency response to a bio-terror attack on the continental United States, the operation was called Dark Winter.
Within just a few days, the simulation spiraled out of control.
The operation predicted a rapid breakdown in essential institutions, civil disorder and massive civilian casualties.
Dark Winter has revealed how vulnerable we've become.
Even other countries aren't immune to this.
At this point, the break-down will happen fast.
Day 1. Hospitals will reach capacity, panic will strike.
Day 2. Quarantine zones will be established, resources will be rationed, transport will go into lockdown.
Day 3. International trade will stop, the oil will dry up, the stock market will collapse.
Day 4. The power will fail, the shelves will be empty, the taps will run dry and once hunger and despair take hold, people will do anything for survival.
By Day 5, everyone will be a potential threat.
In many countries a new directive was signed quietly into law, this maps out each government's response to a crisis, a plan to cope with the real Dark Winter.
There are rumors of shadow agencies, sleeper cells, covert agents. But nothing can be confirmed.
Our complex world is prime for breakdown, and once the chaos strikes, there won't be resources to save us all.
The only question left is, what will it take, to save what remains?
We were always told that it might come to this.
That one day, everything we ever knew, could end.
It was an unknown virus, one by one, we began to fall.
People started tearing each other apart for survival.
Until Society as we knew it, collapse.
It was a signal... that the normal lives we let, were gone.
We are activated as a last resort.
We are The Division.
We don't know how many of us there are.
Or what will it take to save what remains.
But there is one thing, we do know.
There cannot be any hope for tomorrow...
If we don't fight for today.
"We are activated as a last resort. When society falls, we rise. We are The Division." Junsa-chō Naruto Uzumaki, Special Assault Team. (To Rika Minami at the airport.)
"How far will you do, to save what remains?" Captain Ken Kobayakawa former JGSDF Trooper of the 1st Airborne Brigade, Current Joint Search and Rescue Team. (To Takashi during the outbreak.)
Ken always thinks that God has a wired sense of humor, this is one of this. Suddenly waking up with an LAV-25A2 and a M1026A1 Humvee filled with weapons, ammo and other supplies. They are in Tokonosu city with a fleet out on the coast of Japan.

If you were just looking at the weather today, it hardly looked like today would be the day everything normal came to an end. Today didn't look like the sort of day that the world we knew would collapse around us. The armored vehicles turning up in front of the school wasn't the first sign that something had gone completely wrong, that particular 'honor' fell to the zombie who first hobbled up to the school gate.
Ken, Tadashi, Miyuki and Raimon didn't even notice the zombie they were busy arguing about what to do while Daisuke and Shino kept a look out also not noticing the zombie. Ken finally saw the school still not noticing the zombie.
Fujimi High School was a private and rather exclusive, university preparation high school. It was prestigious to attend and had a well respected staff. How ever Among the staff was is a hot headed teacher named Teshima and Shido son of a corrupt politician that everyone in the JSDF, Police, Fire, Medical and Division hates with passion it's not even funny.
Teshima-sensei who'd come out to see about the stranger at the gate, made the mistake of reaching through the gate to grab the zombie. He regretted that a minute later as he recoiled stumbling back after he was bitten by the man. The three teachers who had come to the gate with Teshima-sensei panicked one of the female teacher named Hayashi went to check on him only to get bitten. The minute she got bit though was when the screaming started.
Ken, Tadashi, Miyuki, Raimon, Daisuke and Shino who were nearby heard the screams. Currently they have Beretta 92FS Vertec with Surefire X400 Ultra with Red Laser holstered in their holsters, the Vertec is standard issue for the Special Investigation Team of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Assault and Rescue Teams of Chiba police. The Division use the Vertec or Minebea P9 as standard issue to ease supplies as the Division has a joint supply line with the Police and JSDF. But Division Agents are encourage to stockpile ammunition and spare parts.
The Kokudo anzen hoshō-shō to anzen-ka or in English the Homeland Security and Safety Division is the response to the Tokyo subway sarin attack, a Joint Command Unit first created to coordinate Police, Fire and Medical Response on Chemical and Bio terror attack but since the 2001 Operation: Dark Winter exercise the Division is reorganized into a self-supported group of agents to ensure the continuity of government in the case of a catastrophic emergency, hand-picked from various from either former or active JSDF, Police, Fire, Medical and Division. Their mission to uphold Law and Order and the replacement for the Joint Command unit is the Gōdō tasukufōsu or in English Joint Task Force a coalition of police officers, firefighters, medical staff, JSDF Troopers, and Division agents.
The screaming attracted Ken, Tadashi, Miyuki, Raimon, Daisuke and Shino to the source of the screaming, reaching the source of the sound they instinctively had pulled out the 9x19mm caliber handgun from its drop leg holster and took aim. What they saw is out of a movie or a video game, the man on the gate has a wound that were pretty obviously from a relative low speed impact from a car, but the empty eyes really gave it away. At condition zero their guns discharged, everyone made a big grouping on the man's chest only for him to stumble back a little, undeterred Ken took another aim took shot the zombie on the head.
The spent brass rolled along the ground and ended a few feet away from their vehicles. The other two teachers panicked and run off, no doubt to call the police about the gun wielding men than the zombies. The former physical education teacher groaned and slammed against the gate fruitlessly searching for the sound of the gunshot. The zombie that was Hayashi started to stumble towards the gate. Daisuke and Shino took another aim and two more spent brass went rolling across the asphalt, the bodies fell not moving anymore.
Fujimi High had an on campus dorms, and several four story buildings including an observatory. The team recognizing that and the fact that there were probably other zombies, they prepare to move in. Opening the back of the LAV Ken reach in and threw the teams gear bag and go bag to each of them. The team prepare to move in as they choose their weapons. One sidearm and two guns, any two regardless of how outlandish they were.
First on the list of weapons the Division Agents had on them is the FN15 Military Collector M4A1-M16A4 Rifles with Magpul MBUS rear sights, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, SureFire M900A WeaponLight and Crane stock, optics are optional.
The second is the FN SCAR-H STD with AN/PEG-15 laser designator and SureFire M900A WeaponLight optics are optional.
The third is the venerable Heckler & Koch MP5A4 with Surefire 628 dedicated forend weaponlight with a optic mount to mount optics.
The fourth is Benelli M4 Tactical with 7-shot tube and weaponlight.
The fifth and the final weapon is the M24A3 Sniper Weapon System with Harris LM-S bipod and Leupold Mark 4 scope.
Ken took a M4 and add on a M68 Aimpoint reflex optic, then he takes a MP5 as his secondary.
Tadashi took the FN SCAR and add on EOTech 552.A65 Holographic sight for secondary he also took a MP5 that he mount Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight.
Raimon took a M4 without any optics then he grabs a FN SCAR-H without any optics.
Miyuki took a M24 SWS for secondary she took the FN SCAR-H and put on a TA31F 4x32 ACOG scope.
Daisuke ever the cop took a Benelli and mount a Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight and for secondary he took a MP5 that he also mount Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight.
Shino took a M4 add on EOTech 552.A65 Holographic sight and she took a Benelli with out any optic.
Putting on their tactical glasses that acts as a scanner picking up any information and also acts as a Heads Up Display for the agents.
With their gear they went to hop the wrought iron fence. By the time they'd hopped it and gotten to the door the screaming started. That signal the start of the panic crowds. People in a panic don't tend to notice a whole lot. They were too scared to notice much else beside what was right in front of them. A panicked group of people was not something you wanted to stand in front of as trampling is not a quick death but given the situation it's better than being bitten.
Busujima Saeko was a native of Tokonosu, and not simply a senior at Fujimi but a highly respected member of the school's highly ranked kendo club. That skill could be attributed to the long hours her father had spent teaching the tradition to her. A tradition that was at this very moment saving her life. Like Saeko other students had appropriated improvised weapons and some had just picked up baseball bats and started swinging.
Saeko had already tried dialing the emergency line only to get a busy massage. So the sound of gun shots didn't deter her from her goal. When Saeko turned and kept walking down the hall she found a group of people some are wearing green some are wearing police uniforms but the only thing that unified them are their High Visibility tactical vests with combat pouches. The sight of them showed that the Police has response but the small number also told her that they are stretch thin. Their uniform has the English letters of JTF but on their sleeve are the words Gōdō tasukufōsu or Joint Task Force.
It was a little hard to miss, for a calm person, when in the confines of a hallway, even with all the shouting, and screaming. They took a look at each other before Saeko started the conversation. "I was looking for the school nurse she has a car, and can drive. It seemed a better option than trying to escape on foot, so she should still be in the clinic." Saeko told them.
"You're prepared." One of the officer grunted before shrugging at her to lead the way. On the way to the nurse's office Saeko asked the group again.
"So do any of you have a plan?" Everyone shook their head side to side, but before anyone could reply there was a scream so they busted through the double doors, but the zombie was already dead. Standing over it was a sophmore but more importantly the nurse was alive. So while the group started collecting medical supplies Saeko faced the nurse.
"Shizuka-sensei where are your keys?" Saeko asked the nurse.
"Ah... they'd be in the teachers lounge," And the blonde stopped and did a head count. "My car is only a two seater though," That stopped everyone. The nine stood around looking dumbfounded for a minute before ken took charge.
"Thats alright, we'll go get the keys, and go out the front." Ken told everyone.
"You have a car?" Ishi the sophmore who had introduced himself asked before feeling stupid. They are the Police and possibly the JSDF of course they have a car or method of transport.
"We've got two." Ken nodded also unwilling to admit that their transport are a bunch of multi ton armored vehicle. SAT or JGSDF driving in a Humvee is one thing but an IFV is another.
"What about the buses?" Saeko asked the nurse. Shizuka the school nurse nodded, even if she seemed unsure about leaving her car behind.
"She's right that could work, and the keys should be in the lounge." Shizuka said to everyone. With a plan the group moved down the hallway heading towards the teacher's lounge. Hearing a scream the group double time, there other groups converged from different directions in the main hallway not just the undead.
At the center is Takagi Saya was the scion of a powerful ultranationalist who secretly a Division Prefecture Commander, and a professed genius. Kohta Hirano come from family that were rich enough to indulge their son's hobbies. In this case those interests let Hirano cobble together a nail gun into a zombie killing weapon. The pair weren't the only group. Rei and Takashi settled for more mundane improvised weapons. Which in this case a make shift spear and a baseball bat and that was good enough.
As the group is introducing themselves Tadashi being the grump of the group cut them off. "Look lets just get to the teacher's lounge, and there we can introduce ourselves." Tadashi grunted as he reloads his MP5. The teacher's lounge wasn't a big problem, it's quite empty but in the side of caution the group cleared the room and close the door quietly. Ken being the group commander took charge again. "Lets catch our breath here, and then we'll figure out what to do alright?" Ken said to them as he took out a bottle of water. But as he started drinking he left the MP5 wide open.
The kind of chubby kid Kohta glanced at Ken's guns. His eyes kind of widened, he focused in on the sub machine gun that is being held by one hand, as he took in the sight of the weapon and identified the weapon by name and model, "THATS THE MP5A4 Sub machine gun." Rei had recognized the gun as one of the many that the police employed. Kohta however was less interested in the police equipment, and more the patterns. "Calm down you idiot." Saya growled, as Kohta babbled of technical specifications while trying to touch the Police Issue weapon.
At that everyone look at Kohta and and has one thought. 'What have they gotten into.'
Hello everyone, sorry if you are waiting for my other stories but I've been playing the Division Beta and it got me hook so I thought, if America has one what of the rest of the world.
This is inspired by The Division, Ghost Recon, World War Z, The Walking Dead, Highschool of the Dead and the fanfic a New Normal. Only there will be any EMP, only enemy factions, so there will be Rioters, the Cleaners, escape prisoners and Mercenaries.
This is scene is inspired by New Normal but instead of an American it's about a group of Division Agents some are former or reserve JGSDF operators and some are Police Officers who woke up activated but with and LAV and a suit up Humvee.
This story will be like World War Z, The Walking Dead and Highschool of the Dead, where people will try to find a cure, fighting to keep their moral codes and trying to survive. While the The Division aspect is that they will try to keep Law and Order while trying to save what remains of society. The tactical glasses replace the contact lenses I find contact lenses annoying to use in a combat zone.
What do you think of this one? Please Read and Review please.
