Seraph of the End

Episode 3: JIDA vs Southern Japan

Yuichiro's POV

We held our position on the street. Rumor had it a convoy of vampires was passing through, and until Japan was free from them, we'd attack any vampires and their supporters we found.

"Here they come...Get ready!"

The convoy slowly appeared, with 10 soldiers leading the convoy.

"I don't like this James…I get the feeling the Imperial Demon Army is watching us…" one of them said.

"T-That's because they are! FIND COVER!"

At that point, we sprang out and attacked, killing 4 of them and forcing the rest to find cover. Two of them remained in front of the convoy, one firing a MP5 at us, the other shooting a revolver.

"What's with this JIDA? We're not even trying to hurt them and they always try to kill us!"

Suddenly, someone leaped down from above us, landing right on top of one of our men.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD!?"

2 of the men opened fire on her, but she deflected the bullets without even trying.

"WHO ARE YOU!?"

"Name's Akane. And you guys are attacking your own kind you know?"

"You're lying!" the commander said.

I ran out there, and found the injured convoy leader, still shooting his Revolver.

"No Good Demon Army, attacking their own race!"

Then he saw me.

"DIE IMPERIAL!" he yelled, firing his revolver at me.

I deflected the shots with no issue, and then ran at him.

"Go ahead Imperial, I'm ready for you!" He said, drawing his sword.

My sword however quickly pierced through his, sending the blade flying.

"Why are you doing this!? We aren't even trying to fight you and you're constantly harassing us!"

"Why are we doing this? Why are you supporting the Vampires!? They oppress our race and treat us like we're nothing but cattle!"

"For your information, our governor is quite generous, she keeps us fed and well paid and the vampires off our backs! You JIDA are only interfering in her grand plan!"

"What grand plan?"

"It's her greatest plan yet, the reunification of the Japanese Home Islands into a single democratic nation once more! But the JIDA is only-GAH!"

I looked at him, and saw One of Yoichi's bows sticking through his stomach.

"W-Why…Why did your friend shoot me…"

"Yoichi! He wasn't threatening me!"

"P-Please…Kid…Fulfill…our governor's dream…see Japan…Reunited…Long…Live…..Japan…" he said, as he passed out.

Before I could react, I found the rest of the Moon Company tied up and restrained by the vampire who had pounced on them. And the rest of the men were now surrounded by Southern Japanese infantry. The Vampire then approached us.

"Listen humans. I don't wish to harm you. Surrender peacefully and no one else gets hurt."
We both reluctantly surrendered our weapons, before being loaded up and driven to Osaka…

What did we get ourselves into…?
