Chapter 10. Dia de los Muertos.
Z-Day 23. 1500 hrs.
[La Piedad Michoacán, Mexico.]
Takashi: It's been a long week since we arrived in Mexico. We have somewhat settled down but with all that's going on around here everyone feels unsettled, there's so many legends around here we actually saw one in the flesh... I never thought I'd see a ghost. Well this city is like all others around the world a ghost of their former selves. Millions of people who used to live, laugh, enjoy the simple things in life... and its gone, it took me a while to notice that in Japan but here in Mexico it's terrifying the streets, so abandoned. But not all is quiet, the inner city here is crawling with Narcos who control life beyond that wall. I can't stand to live here. Constantly trying to avoid the wall so too not get their attention when searching for food and supplies. The people around Ed's estate all look scared of the narcos, and I have a feeling everyone in the group feels the same as the people and we feel insecure.
Mr. Miyamoto: (Sits down at the table surrounded by everyone.) Well I know this last few days have been relaxing and somewhat different for everyone, excluding you Ed. But you should know the rest have all come to an agreement that we should leave Mexico. Reason being is that we don't know what can happen here in a city controlled by cartels and narcos. Well Hirano and you already saw that Death club first hand. So all that's left is for you to accept the decision or stay behind.
Takashi: It's pretty much like our last agreement but this time Yuuki has proven herself to be part of the team, this doesn't mean you're not but we all know you do live here and most of your belongings are here. So this time we're letting you decide whether to continue with us or stay here.
Ed: Believe me or not I want to get the fuck out of here. (Exhales.) My city has been corrupted with these rats that I don't recognize it anymore, a once calm city has now turned into a shit town that runs on death, money, whores and drugs. And I couldn't be any happier to leave, You guys are my family I can't just stay behind and watch you all leave.
Mr. Miyamoto: Then it's settled. We should leave with in two days, (Looks at everyone.) Pack what you can carry, Ed if you and Kohta can pack only the essential weapons and ammo we need. (Looks at Kohta.) That means no on the RPG and the heavy weapons.
Kohta: Yes sir. I'll pack the things with Ed, he'll tell me what to take.
Mrs. Miyamoto: We would also need to take more canned food and less MREs. Some of us don't like them.
Rei: What about food for Zeke? Is there any nearby pet stores with dog food for him? Because the scraps from the dinner table are getting him a bit fat.
Zeke: (Looks up at Rei.)
Saya: I remember asking Ed were there was one but it was a bit too close to the city wall. So we didn't approach it.
Mr. Miyamoto: That's fine giving him some scraps wouldn't do him harm, but neither would walking him every once in awhile. So today we pack our belongings tomorrow the supplies and…
*CRASH! CRASH! CLONK CLANK!
[Two Flash bangs are thrown into the dinning room windows and land near the group.]
*Pop! BANG! BANG! BANG! BOOM!
[The front door is destroyed as a car rams through the front gate and the door. Men in every direction surround the house and enter the house. Everyone falls to the ground as the flashbangs go off.]
Mr. Miyamoto: Everyone get a. *THWACK! (He gets hit by one of the men knocking him out.)
Kohta: (Reaches for a shotgun.) Everyone get down! (Shoots the gun at the men.) *Boom Ka Chunk!
[A man shoots Kohta and he falls to the ground.]
Saya: Hirano! (A man grabs her and drags her towards a car.) Let me go! Let GO!
Minami: (Holding Alice and Ms. Shizuka.) Ed, Komuro get the guns! (Three men approach and drag them away.)
Saeko: (Tries to draw her sword.) Everyone get to. *THWACK! ( A man hits her and grabs her as she gets dragged away.)
Ed: (Draws his PT101 AF and shoots one of the men.) What the fuck is going. *BOOM! (He gets shot with a shotgun by a man.) AHH! (He falls to the ground.) *Thud. (Looks up and faints.)
Yuuki: Ed! Takashi! (She gets dragged out to the cars alongside Umiko.) HELP!
Mrs. Miyamoto: (Is surrounded by two men aiming their guns towards her.) You're not going to take me you bastards! (She gets shot as she aims her gun at them. She falls to the ground.) *Thump.
Takashi: Mom!? MOM!? REI! (Two men grab him and detain him.) LET ME GO! *BIFF! (He gets punched in the face.)
Masked man: Señor! Is this the group who attacked your brother in the club?
[A well dressed man enters the house, he walks towards Takashi and notices Ed on the floor.]
Ramirez: Not only is this the group. (Walks past Takashi and towards Ed.) But it seems this group of Asians have made a new friend. (Stands over Ed.) I thought El Cucuy would have put a better fight *TWACK! (Kicks Ed in the face.) I thought wrong he was an easy kill. (Looks back at the cars were the girls and women are being held.) Take them all back to the city, they will make perfect whores for me and my brother. (Turns around and walks away.)
Masked man 2: Sir what about this one? (Point at Mrs. Miyamoto) She shot at us.
Ramirez: Is she dead?
Masked man 2: Barely alive sir.
Mrs. Miyamoto: (Looks at Ramirez as he walks towards her.) You... will pay for this… You bastard.
Ramirez: (Takes out a pistol) And who is going to stop me? You're friends are dead and the women are going to make me some great workers in the drug house.
Mrs. Miyamoto: (Spits at Ramirez.) Fuck you!
Ramirez: No one disrespects me in front of my men! *BAM! (Shoots Mrs. Miyamoto.) Pinche vieja!
Rei: (Looks as Ramirez shoots Mrs. Miyamoto.) MOM! (Two men restrain her and shove her into the car.)
Ramirez: What a waste, she would have been a great maid. (Cleans off his shoe.)
Takashi: (Looks as Ramirez walks past him.)
Masked man: Sir what about the rest of them?
Ramirez: They're not much of a threat anymore El Cucuy is dead and without him they don't know where to find us. (Turns back towards the car.) Let's GO!
Takashi: (Looks as the cars drive off.) Rei... (Reaching out he blacks out.) no.
1725 hrs.
[After the raid.]
Takashi: (Wakes up and he gets up.) Rei! (Looks around and see Mrs. Miyamoto near the wall.) Mrs. Miyamoto.
Kohta: (Sitting next to the door on the floor.) She's fine Komuro I stopped the bleeding in time... Saya, Alice they're all gone... (Looks at the floor.) They took them.
Takashi: (Walks towards Ed.) Is he... (Pushes Ed until he wakes up.) alive?
Ed: AHH! (Gets up and checks his chest.) Those perros!
Takashi: *Kapow! (Punches Ed.) That man! *THWACK! *BIFF! Ramirez... he knows you! *BIFF! (Punches Ed again.) They took Rei! *THAWCK! THWACK! They took the rest! They took my mom! (Is about to punch Ed again but is stopped by Kohta.)
Kohta: Stop Komuro! I don't think... (Gets pushed by Takashi.) *Thud. Komuro!
Takashi: How do you know!?
Mr. Miyamoto: (Wakes up and looks to see Mrs. Miyamoto.) Kiriko! (Crawls towards her.) Kiriko!
Kohta: Sir... She was shot but she is fine for now we need to leave her alone I stopped the bleeding but... She should be fine Mr. Miyamoto.
Mr. Miyamoto: Who did this!? Who did this to Kiriko!?
Takashi: A man named Ramirez sir, and he knows Ed, he knows he's "El Cucuy".
Mr. Miyamoto: (Pulls out his revolver and aims it at Ed.) How does he know you! Tell me or I'll kill you!
Ed: *SPITU! (Looks down the barrel of the gun.) He knows me as "El Cucuy", after I killed the fucker that killed Ana, I brought down a big cartel in this city. One survivor of the raid described me as "El Cucuy"... The Boogie man... After that they put a bounty on my head $10,000 American dollars if I was caught dead or alive. I know Ramirez as a sick fuck who controlled the prostitution and drugs in the city. (Gets up.) And we need to find the girls before it's too late sir.
Takashi: And how the hell are we going to do that!?
Kohta: Takashi we still have the RPG in the armoury, (Looks at the door.) they didn't take or even notice the armoury we have a chance to save the girls.
Takashi: Hirano were not in the fucking army! We don't stand a chance against cartels in their own turf!
Mr. Miyamoto: I don't care what it takes. (Walks back towards Mrs. Miyamoto.) I'm going to get Rei back and shoot the bastard... for Kiriko.
Zeke: (Walks out from under a table and begins to cry.) Hmmm, hmm!
[Gun shots and yelling is heard, a large group of men from the surrounding area arrive to the estate and approach the group.]
Raul: *Señores? Me llamo Raul Jimenez, Vimos todo de lo que pasó… *Gentlemen? My name is Raul Jimenez, we saw everything that happened...
Kohta: (Looks at Raul and the men who have weapons.) Komuro! (Aims his weapon at the men.)
Ed: Don't Shoot Hirano! (Looks at Raul.) *Perdon, quienes son? *Sorry, who are you?
Raul: *Somos de los vecindarios de alrededor, vimos todo y venimos lo más rápido que pudimos pero era muy tarde. Los muertos nos detubieron.
Takashi: What is he saying?
Ed: He said they're from around here and they saw what happened, so they took action and tried to help but they were too late. He saiys the dead kept them from arriving sooner.
Raul: Los narcos han venido aqui anterior y igual se llevaron las mujeres y nuestros hijos de aquí y se los llevaron para la ciudad, pero no nos podíamos defender porque ellos tienen armas y nosotros... solo tenemos herramienta y carabinas.
Ed: He said the narcos have been here before they have taken their women and children from here and have been taken to the city, but they couldn't defend themselves. They only had tools, garden equipment and muzzleloaders to defend themselves against machine guns.
Raul: Que van hacer?
Kohta: What he say?
Ed: What are we going to do?... (Looks back at the armoury.) Were going to take back our family and theirs, and take down those sons of bitches, (Looks back at Raul.) Raul, vamos a tomar armas y a traer para tras nuestras familias.
Takashi: How?
Mr. Miyamoto: Theirs around 35 men and 20 teenage boys who can fight, They can help by attacking one part of the city cause a big enough distraction while the four of us go in through another side and take our family back and kill this Ramirez narc, and free this city of this infestation. And I don't mean get rid of the dead.
Ed: *Tienen o saben donde hay más armas para que usen? *Do you own or know there's more weapons for all of you to use?
Raul: *Unos de nosotros tenemos escopetas y escuadras pero la mayoría no tenemos. *Sum of us have Shotguns and handguns but the majority of us don't own any.
Ed: Sir, they don't have many guns only shotguns and pistols. (Looks down and sees Saeko's katana. He picks it up and puts it on he's back next to his wakizashi)
Mr. Miyamoto: Then let's arm them all up. (Walks towards the armoury.) And Ed I need you to tell them what I'm about to say. That plan of yours sounds like it will work.
Raul: (Looks at Mrs. and Mrs. Miyamoto.) We will take care of her, we have a doctor in the area he will help her while we attack Ramirez and his men.
Mr. Miyamoto: Thank you.
[The group arms as many men as they can and then they arm themselves for the upcoming raid.]
Mr. Miyamoto: Ed did you tell them to attack and invade the city? (Places a drawn out map on the table.)
Ed: (Puts a helmet on the table.) Their on the way as we speak sir. (Points at the map.) Their heading towards the North of the wall. We'll need to enter the East side and breach it.
Kohta: Ed, I didn't give them the two grenade launchers, so I put them on two M4s and I also prepared them with eotechs and suppressors. Me and Komuro can use them while you and Inspector Miyamoto can use the Mk18 and M4 with the same thing but they don't have the grenade launchers.
Ed: You didn't give them my good guns did you?
Kohta: No. I also hid the Franchi shotguns and I also hid your pistol collection, they only took the rifles and some ammo.
Takashi: Do I take the shotgun?
Ed: Can you carry it and the M4? Cuz' you're using the M203.
Takashi: Right now I have the strength of the world. *Cla-clank! (Racking the M4 charging handle.)
Mr. Miyamoto: (Grabbing the M4.) Good, So the plan is once we get there the men should have already engaged the narcs. Which will cause a big enough distraction for us to enter the sidewall, (Looks up at Ed.) the wall you and Takagi told us that was guarded by three men and had two large gates. We will go through their, I take it the place their holding the girls is at this assholes place, which should be guarded. After taking out he's guards we will enter the place and take out any resistance find the girls and leave as quick as possible.
Ed: The hideout should be next to the Death Club or close to it. Hirano and Takashi will try to use the grenades and launchers as little as possible, I also have a box with six bangers. (Puts an eye patch over his left eye.)
Takashi: (Looks at Ed.) Sorry about your eye Ed.
Ed: Don't worry I'm fine bro.
Kohta: You have Flash bangs?
Ed: Yeah, I used them when I went to kill Ana's uncle I bought 40 from this shady cop who used them on the prisoners he had in his cell block. He was very fucked up to them.
Mr. Miyamoto: Then we will use them inside to clear any rooms, we don't know who might be inside.
Takashi: If we somehow find the girls and my mom in one room and we don't see Ramirez should we leave the area?
Mr. Miyamoto: As much as I want to kill him for what he did... Rei and the rest are our top priority. So we will leave as soon as we find them.
Kohta: I hope we all know this is suicide, but rescuing them is on top right now.
[Everyone agrees.]
Kohta: Ed do you have any more military vests?
Ed: I have a few from my men, their on the second floor to the right side of the stairs. There should be a small closet full of them and on the floor are some Kevlar inserts.
Takashi: C'mon Hirano I'll help you out.
[Takashi and Kohta head upstairs.]
Mr. Miyamoto: Ed?
Ed: (Puts on the helmet.) Yes Sir?
Mr. Miyamoto: I was not going to tell Komuro this but, I'll tell you.
Ed: (Turns to face Mr. Miyamoto.) Sir?
Mr. Miyamoto: I want you three to get Rei and the rest out of the area and leave me behind. I'm going after the son of a bitch and kill him for what he did. I'll meet you guys back here later. Is that clear?
Ed: You can't sir! Rei needs you the most right now. She won't.
Mr. Miyamoto: *Thump! (Slams his fist on the table.) I know she does but I can't live with this knowing the man who tried to kill Kiriko is lose out their. I know that I'm an officer of the law, but revenge is coursing thru me and it can't be stopped.
Ed: Sir I can't do that. (Mr. Miyamoto grabs Ed by his shirt.)
Mr. Miyamoto: You listen to me! Don't tell me what I can and can't do! You, Kohta and Komuro will take care of Rei and Kiriko until I return, and you won't say a word to Komuro or Kohta. Is that clear!?
Ed: Sir, Yes Sir.
Mr. Miyamoto: (Lets go of Ed's shirt.) Good.
1745 hrs.
[Ramirez hideout.]
Minami: (Gets thrown into Ramirez's room.) Let me out of here! (The door opens and Ms. Shizuka is thrown inside.)
Ms. Shizuka: Rika what are they going to do to us?
Minami: I don't want to know, (Looks around the room.) we need to get out of here and get the others out of here. Shit I don't see any good way to get out of this room other than going thru those doors!
Ms. Shizuka: I hope the others are ok. (Sits down on the bed.) But don't worry, I know the boys and Mr. Miyamoto are on their way to help us get out of here.

Rei: That bastard is going to pay… for what he did.
Umiko: (Sits next to Rei and Saeko.) It's going to be fine I won't let them hurt any of us.
Yuuki: I think we're near the Death club. (Looks outside.) Yeah I think we are.
Umiko: How do you know?
Yuuki: Well Ed, Hirano and I came here to look for some medication for Ed and Hirano got dragged in here to fight off the dead, and Ed came to rescue him.
Saya: That's why you three came home super late that one night?
Yuuki: Yeah. Komuro didn't question it because Ed told him he is allergic to Zeke so he needed the meds.
1839 hrs.
[North wall of the City.]
*KABOOOOOM!
[The Men from the town arrive and fire at the wall and the men guarding it.]
Saya: (Looks at the gunfire outside.) Guys! There's a big group of guys shooting at the narcos outside!
*Pop Pop Pop Bang Boom Krack Ratata Ratatat.

Ed: (Loading the Mk18.) Ok guys the mags with blue tape are loaded with hollow point 5.56 use those inside the house, the ones with red tape are a mix of tracer and FMJ. Remember tracers work both ways. You can see where it goes and they can see where it came from.
Kohta: There are four, 40mm and two M67s left I have the six flash bangs in my backpack so grab them when you think you need them. Komuro the Benelli is loaded with slugs they have more kick so hold it tight.

Ed: Hold up we got a small group of security. (The security spots them.) Take cover!
*CRACK! RATAT! RATAT! CRACK! RATAT!
[The security fire at the group. Inside the hideout room.]
Saya: (Looks outside to see the guards fire at someone.) Someone is shooting the guards outside!
[Men are heard running outside the door.]
Ms. Shizuka: Rika do you think that Komuro and the others are shooting the place?
Minami: No, it looks like another group of. Maybe narcos or civilians who are attacking the inner city.
Ms. Shizuka: Could it be the people around Ed's estate?
Minami: Maybe, they finally started to fight back.
[Outside the main entrance to the mansion.]

Mr. Miyamoto: Rei, I'm not going to make it... Takashi will take care of you. I believe in him, I love you Rei... (Aims the M4 at the end of the hallway.) Go I want you to go on I want you to live!
Rei: (Gets pulled away by Takashi.) Dad! (Takashi and Rei head towards the room and lock the door.) NO!

Ed: (Runs towards the window and checks to see if it's safe.) Go it's clear! (Climbs down the window.)
Kohta: (Climbs down and kills off two Zombies.) *POP POP. C'mon!
[Everyone climbs down while Takashi and Rei stay behind.]
Takashi: C'mon Rei! (Tries to pull her towards the window.)
Rei: I'm not leaving my dad behind!
*Rata Ratata! Cling clang cling clong clong.
Mr. Miyamoto: *Click. Damn it... CLANK! (Drops the gun and gets the M67 and pulls the pin.) *Ping. I'm right here you BASTARDS!
[The men run towards Mr. Miyamoto and aim their guns at him.]
Takashi: REI PLEASE! (Grabs both her shoulders.)
Rei: I'M NOT GOING!
Mr. Miyamoto: (Lifts up his hand and shows the men the grenade.) FUCK YOU ALL STRAIGHT TO HELL! (Drops the grenade.) *THUD (The grenade rolls towards the men.)
[The men run away as the grenade rolls.]
Takashi: (Kisses Rei.) Rei! I can't leave you... I love you! I can't leave you! (Picks her up and jumps out the window with her.)

*CRAAAAASSSSHHHH! THWWWWAAAAAMP! THUD!
Saya: Are you guys ok!?
Takashi: (Looks at Rei.) Are you ok?
Saeko: (Looks at the gates and sees some zombies.) We need to get out of here right now!
[Saeko, Minami and Saya attack the approaching zombies.]
Minami: (Picks up Rei.) Let's go. *THWACK! (Punches a zombie.) We need to leave!
[Takashi, Hirano and Ed all get up.]
Rei: Dad... he's... gone. (Begins to tear up.)
Ed: I'm sorry Rei he made me... I... didn't want… I'm so sorry.
Ms. Shizuka: It's not your fault Ed.
Takashi: He knew what he was doing he knew he wasn't going to let us get hurt.
Rei: (Looks up at the window.) I Love you Mom, Dad.
Ed: Rei you're mom she's still alive... she's back at the estate.
Rei: What I...
Takashi: Hirano saved her.
Rei: (Crying and looks at Kohta.) Thank you Hirano!

Alice: Where are going now? (Looking at Saya.)
Umiko: Anywhere but here.
Takashi: (Holding on to Rei.) Ed, how far is the U.S. border?
Ed: Three days by car.
Yuuki: That long Ed-kun?
Saya: (Sticks her head out the truck window.) Komuro where are we going?!
Takashi: Were heading North it's too dangerous to stick around here!
Minami: Then that means we need to head back and take supplies and gas for the trip.
Z-Day 23. 2359 Hrs.
[The group arrives at the destroyed estate to be greeted by zombies.]
Kohta: We got company guys. (Gets off the truck and hits a zombie with the butt of his M4.)
[Everyone gets off but Takashi and Rei.]
Takashi: Rei are... you going to be OK?
Rei: Takashi.
Takashi: Rei.
Rei: Promise me this. (Turns to face Takashi.)
Takashi: Anything Rei. (Looks Rei in the eyes.)
Rei: Don't leave me. Don't leave me alone, protect me, my mom and the rest from anything and I'll do the same. I want to continue fighting alongside you and face any enemy that comes along no matter what happens to us we will pull thru it all. (She hugs Takashi.) I love you Takashi.
Takashi: I promise (Holding her closer to himself.) I won't leave you again and I'll be there for you no matter what happens I will always be there for you.
Takashi: I finally get to hear Rei say she loves me, after so long and at a high cost. I promise her father that I will take care of Rei, her mother and the rest. For as long as I live I will keep up to that promise no matter what I face or what our family faces. No Challenge is too great for us to face and accomplish. We only have to leave this place in search for a better future.
