Well then…read on and…well, enjoy!


Ch. 11: Saisho no kōgeki

As Sakakura and some henchmen leave to commence in hunting down Naegi, Munakata uses the radio and soon made contact with Naegi, and there he asks the boy why go all the trouble when he can just surrender, and even offered to have Naegi spared if he simply return the weapons he took, but Naegi did not bite and told Munakata that he saw how he killed Takagi and that Munakata's men will kill him on the spot once spotted.

Naegi then told Munakata that he will not win, and the villain appeared to stay cool and calm, not being intimidated and asks Naegi how can he be able to pull off something like stopping his men, and Naegi, in a fit of irritation, said he will do what it takes, and unintentionally insults Munakata.

"Is that a threat...?"

"What if it is...?"

"Surely you realize that you are obviously outnumbered..."

"That won't discourage me...I'm not giving up...I won't be intimidated by a murderer like you...!"

"Really? What a teenage desperation you are displaying...what makes you think you can stop me?"

"Well...I have THREE words for you."

"Oh? And what are those words...?"

"Yipee-ka-yay...you MOTHERFUCKER."

Munakata raised an eyebrow at being told off, and some of Munakata's men stared in surprise, and one of them asks Munakata if he wants them to find Naegi and kill him off, stating that it was unacceptable for someone to insult Munakata, but the leader of the group assured to them Naegi has no place to go or escape.

"Want me to waste him at once?"

"Calm down. No need to rush..."

"But he just insulted you! If I were to be told off like that I..."

"The kid is just acting cool...but he is bucking under pressure. He won't last long."

"Really?"

"Yes. Sakakura and the others are on their way. They will deal with that brat."

"Oh...fine."

"Good."

Minutes later, the scene shifts outside the building, where Takaki is monitoring the scene and wondered if Naegi managed to find a place to hide to stay out of the terrorists' eyesight, and then the SWAT team arrived to take charge of the situation, and Kiyotaka became a bit worried, as he felt that things would go bad should the SWAT decided to go right ahead without making a plan, believing that the gunmen are heavily armed and that they could be anywhere within Nekotami Tower.

Takaki said that there is nothing he could do at this point, and by then Naegi contacted Takaki, as he managed to get a glimpse of what is happening and asks what is going on down there, as Naegi did not like what is about to happen next..

"Hey!"

"Yes?"

"What's going on down there?"

"The SWAT team are going to do a breakthrough..."

"Are they crazy?"

"Well..."

"Those gunmen are armed and dangerous!"

"I know...you told me that..."

Naegi is not pleased with what he just heard, and tells Takaki what he knows about the men, how many gunmen are left and that they are scattered between the rooftop and the 26th to 34th floors and some at the concierge.

Takaki tells Naegi he would do what he could to stall the SWAT as he too believe that storming the building first is a bad idea.

"You got to stop them...!"

"Calm down...!"

"But...!"

"I'll do what I can..."

"..."

"Right now you need to stay alive...!"

"..."

"Trust me on this..."

Takaki then went to the SWAT leader and tells him what he knows, then the SWAT leader tells Takaki to back off and SHUT UP, saying that the SWAT is now in charge, yet Takaki insisted that the gunmen are scattered everywhere within Nekotami Tower and that they may possess high-powered weapons, which the SWAT leader said that he doubts it given that the terrorists have not made any move yet, nor have they stated their demands.

Moreover, he tells Takaki to ignore what Naegi says, as he deems him part of the terrorists and is probably using FAKE NEWS just to confuse him. He then tells Takaki to either back off or face arrest for obstruction.

"So if you don't want to lose face, shut your mouth and back off."

"What?"

"Ignore the caller…he's one of those terrorists."

"The caller is a high school boy! He is the reason why we discovered the situation inside that building!"

"He's just messing with your head."

"But…"

"We're in charge. You're excess baggage."

"!"

Takaki stared wide-eyed, as never in his life that he encounter someone so arrogant, and he questioned his authority, as well as reminding him that there are hostages inside, telling the SWAT leader that things could go bad if any of the SWAT members might end up shooting the hostages by mistake.

The SWAT leader rebutted by saying that there has been no demand from the gunmen and no hostages are shown, thus what intel Naegi provided is a fake, and he gives Takaki a warning to back off or face arrest, which shows that the SWAT leader has no respect for anyone but himself.

"Do me a favor, old man."

"…"

"Back off and go home."

"Look here, you…"

"Go to your wife and give her a Christmas present by having sex with her."

"How dare you…!"

"Interfere or I'll have you arrested."

"Damn you…"

Takaki clenched his fists as he is getting agitated at the SWAT leader's arrogance, yet he maintained his common sense and chose not to verbally retaliate. However, Kiyotaka heard it and criticized the SWAT leader for his actions, which his dad urges his son to let go, which Kiyotaka asks if he is going to let this stand, as it shows that the SWAT leader has complete disregard of the situation.

"Kiyotaka…?"

"Dad! Are you going to put up with this guy?"

"Easy, son…"

"He is running his mouth off for a while!"

"Wait…"

"He has complete disregard! The boy who contacted us is the reason why we found out about the situation…and now this man is saying that the caller is a terrorist and that he rather bombard the building like that? What about the hostages? Does this guy know how many gunmen are in there?"

"Calm down, Kiyotaka…"

"But…"

The SWAT leader smirked and ordered one of his subordinates to have Kiyotaka arrested, and the subordinate did so, causing Takaki to question the action, which the SWAT leader said that he means what he says and that anyone who gets in the way will pay the price.

Moreover, he arrogantly tells Takaki to do as told or he too would be arrested for insubordination, and Takaki asks him who gave him the authority to do that, but the arrogant SWAT leader just stared at him in an arrogant way without saying a word.

"Who the heck do you think you are?"

"…"

"Who gave you that authority?"

".."

"Are you listening?"

"…"

"Answer me!"

"…"

As Kiyotaka is being taken away, Takaki was forced to leave and attempted to use his authority to stop the SWAT members from hauling his son to jail.

With no one to stop him, he tells the other SWAT members to get ready, instructing them that they will break through the lobby area and split up, taking the elevator, the stairs and the fire exit, which will be an effective strategy to splinter and scatter the gunmen do ad to make them panic and they will be easy pickings, thus giving the mayor a Christmas gift by showing that the SWAT is an effective force within the police department.

The SWAT leader's subordinate then asks if he is joining in, which the SWAT leader smirked and said that he will join them so as to give his men a very huge morale and boost their ego and confidence. That way the mayor will be pleased and will be compelled to give financial support to the SWAT team once the crisis is over.

"Yep. I'm joining."

"Are you sure, sir?"

"Of course. It will help."

"Really?"

"Yeah…it'll give our men a huge boost…and the mayor will label me a hero."

"Whoa."

"And you boys will also be rewarded."

"Sure!"

-x-

Inside the Nekotami Tower, Munakata is informed about the SWAT team getting ready to invade the building, which Munakata appeared to be cool and calm, as he somewhat predicted that this outcome would happen.

One of his men asks if they are going to intercept them, and Munakata said there is no cause for alarm, as he already has a countermeasure for this situation, and he called for Soda, which minutes later, he reported to the leader.

"Soda."

"Yeah, boss?"

"Are you busy?"

"None at the moment…"

"I'll be needing your EXPERTISE…"

"Sure! What's the deal?"

"It's like this…"

"…leave it to me, boss!"

Soda grinned as he rubbed his palms as he is excited to try out what he is eager to do, and said that everything will be ready in a FLASH.

Minutes later, Naegi managed to find a room to hide and using his binoculars, he stared in surprise as he sees that the entire SWAT team are in position, looking like they intend to break in and do a breakthrough, and there he contacted Takaki via the radio and asks him what is going on, and Takaki sadly told him that the SWAT team are taking command of the situation and that the SWAT team ignored his words about the possible number of the terrorists.

Takaki even said that he the SWAT leader views Naegi as one of the gunmen and has no qualms about what would happen to the hostages, and Naegi urges Takaki to try persuading the SWAT leader to reconsider and try a different approach.

"You got to try and convince him…"

"I wish I could, but…"

"If he does what he wanted…there will be lots of casualties!"

"I know…"

"Is he really that foolish?"

"Wish I could answer that…"

"Try harder! There's got to be a way…"

"I'll try again, but I can't guarantee…hey!"

However, the SWAT leader came and interrupted, grabbing the radio and he arrogantly told Naegi that he is deemed one of the terrorists and that he will be brought down in no time, and Naegi verbally lashed the SWAT leader for his foolishness as he told him that the gunmen are scattered within the floors and that the hostages are at the 30th floor, but the SWAT leader said that the hostages are easy-pickings and they can wait, but the gunmen won't and he told Naegi that he will be next to be taken down unless he SURRENDERS without condition.

Takaki was pissed off and pushed the SWAT leader back, telling him that Naegi is the reason why they are aware of what is happening at Nekotami Tower, but the SWAT leader said that Naegi is one of the gunmen and that he is just pretending to be one of the escaped hostages so that he can run off with the loot for himself and nothing more and tells him to back off.

"I already told you…that guy is a fraud."

"What's your proof?"

"It's already there…he's hiding…and is playing mind games."

"You can't just…!"

"It's final. We're going in…and the caller…he'll be taken down."

"Hey! Come back here!"

"…"

"Hey!"

As the SWAT leader joins his men, they are now ready to make a rescue attempt, where the squad are split into three groups, the sneaking through the side of the building on the east, the other doing the same on the west, and the last, where the SWAT leader is included, board an armored Humvee and slowly drove through the entrance of the building.

As the SWAT leader gives the signal all of the three groups began to do their thing, and the two groups sneaked though the sides of the building, preparing to head for the main entrance, with the Humvee driving their way towards the front, intending to draw fire so that the gunmen will be focused on the Humvee and not notice the rest.

However, Munakata and his men somehow expected this, and soon Soda grinned as he unleashed a mechanical robot-like drone and flew downward, where the two groups stopped upon noticing the drone, and there they saw the drone is carrying what appeared to be a time bomb, causing the members to panic seeing that it would detonate in less than three seconds.

"What the…?"

"Shit!"

"A bomb!"

"It's gonna explode!"

"Turn back!"

"I can't!"

"Do something!"

"Quick pushing me!"

It was too late, as the two drones exploded, killing the two groups, and the remaining group, inside the Humvee, were taken by surprise. Suddenly a small barrel rolled near the underside of the Humvee, and there the gunmen fired a high-powered gun at the small barrel, which the contents are unknown but it appeared to be strong enough as the impact knocks the Humvee off the ground and lay on its side, exposing the gas tank part, and the SWAT leader tells his remaining men to evacuate, but they could not as they are stuck.

Then another of the gunmen fired an RPG and hits the gas tank part of the Humvee, and the vehicle exploded, killing everyone inside, and thus the entire SWAT team perished, and Takaki could only watch in horror, realizing that the enemy is truly armed and dangerous, and he could only pray that Naegi would stay safe as he has a feeling that the boy would not survive if he is caught and shot on sight.

To Be Continued...
