Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the situation is about to escalate as Naegi is about to get in to trouble as the hostage takers are about to do something that would put the Luckster in danger, so read on and…well, enjoy!
Ch. 6: Kaji
The scene shifts at the Naegi house, where Komaru is shown to be reading a manga inside her bedroom while eating snacks, as she is looking forward to her elder brother's promise that he would bring home some GOODIES from the corporate party, and yet she has no idea that her brother is already embroiled in a situation where his life is in danger, along with the other guests who are now hostages.
By then her cellphone rang which she answered it, where the caller turn out to be Yuta Asahina, who is a year younger than Komaru, and the two teens began to chat on the phone, asking how they are doing as it is just a matter of hours before Christmas.
"Yo! Komaru-chan!"
"Yuta-kun!"
"How are you doing?"
"Oh, fine. What about you?"
"Mom and dad are out…nee-chan's hanging out at my classmate's lover's dojo…so I'm all alone."
"Really?"
"Yeah…"
"Want to come over my place, Yuta-kun?"
The two younger teens chatted some more, and there Yuta suggested that he would come over and visit Komaru, which she readily agreed, as she wanted a friend to come over to keep her busy while waiting for her elder brother to come home, yet she is unaware that the party her elder brother went to became a hostage crisis in secret, and no one outside the corporate building is aware of what is happening at the moment.

The scene shifts at the Nekotami Building, where Munakata asks the hostages where Takugi is, and the hostages pointed their finger at Takugi himself, and Munakata grabbed him as they take him towards the elevator, heading for the 31st floor, where it shows that the place is another office space, and soon they dragged him towards a vacant office, and held him at gunpoint, not realizing that Naegi had just arrived, exiting through the fire exit, and upon seeing the gunmen he did behind a table and managed to get a visual of the armed men, however, he could not see Munakata's face.
By then two more gunmen arrived, and one of them unknowingly dropped his radio, and as the men entered the vacant office where Munakata and Takagi are in, Naegi grabbed the radio and attempted to call for help, but his instinct got the best of him and decided to stay and observe for now as he saw the door was opened and can vaguely hear Munakata talking to Takugi, saying that the survival of the hostages will depend on whether he is willing to cooperate or not.
"So, Takugi-san…for the sake of your employees and fellow hostages…"
"What do you want, then?"
"Please cooperate…"
"Are you…?"
"If you do as told…we will let you go."
"And if I don't…?"
"Imagine what would happen…and it would be on you."
"…"
Naegi then sneaked around stealthily as he head to another table as he wanted to hear about the conversation, and felt that if he could hear it, it might help him figure out what the gunmen are after and then use the radio to call for the police so the rescue squad would arrive and have the gunmen trapped and save the hostages.
As Naegi went a bit closer, he hid behind a nearby table and tries to hear out the conversation between Munakata and Takugi, where you can see that Munakata was actually demanding the codes of the vault that Takagi kept at the 30th floor, and said that if he gives him the codes he will set the hostages free and Takugi will live, which the other two gunmen, Mondo and Daiya, watches on.
However, Takugi showed his true colors as he is a selfish and greedy man, telling Munakata that he care less about the other hostages and will not surrender what Munakata is asking.
"What was that?"
"You heard me. Go ahead and waste those people…I will not give you the codes."
"Do you have any idea what would happen if the hostages are…"
"Hmph. They are replaceable…I can get new investors and employees…and no matter what, I will not hand the codes over to the likes of you."
"You really are stubborn…and selfish at that…"
"Well, boo-hoo…and no matter what…I don't care about them."
"Is that so?"
"You heard me you silverfish…go masturbate at the toilet."
Although calm, Munakata was mentally irked as he never thought that a corporate person would be so greedy and gave Takugi an ultimatum, telling him that he will shoot down the hostages every minute if Takugi keeps stalling, but Takugi defied him and even taunted Munakata that even if all the hostages are killed, he will not surrender the codes and dared him to shoot the hostages, saying that they are replaceable.
"Is that your answer?"
"You heard me."
"So, what will it be? Would you shoot me? Or shoot those good for nothing guests?"
"…"
"Looks like you picked the wrong man to pick on, you asshole."
"…"
"You will never get the items inside the vault…they are mine."
"…"
As Takugi gave a taunting smile, Munakata fired his gun and shoots Takugi on the head, causing him to die instantly, and blood splattered on the floor, and the Ohwada brothers asks what now since Takugi refused to provide the codes for the vault. Munakata, however, assured that he has a CONTINGENCY PLAN in case something like this were to happen.
"Hey…boss…"
"What now? You just killed the guy who could…"
"Do not worry."
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"I have anticipated this scenario…and I know this would happen…we will use Plan B."
"Really?"
"You serious?"
"Yes."
Meanwhile, Naegi stared wide-eyed after hearing the gunshots and saw blood splattered near the window, and realized that Takugi was killed on the spot, and started to feel terror, yet he managed to keep his composure as he looked around and saw a gunman walking nearby, and feeling that he would be killed if caught, he grabbed a nearby vase and tripped the gunman and smashed the vase on the goon's head, knocking him out. Naegi then grabbed the goon's small machine gun and a few grenades cache, where he appeared reluctant to use it since he is not the kind of person who would use a gun.
However, both Mondo and Daiya partially saw Naegi through the window and were alerted that a hostage somehow escaped, and they told Munakata about it before shooting wildly at the window, smashing it with bullets which made its way through, causing Naegi to panic as he ducked behind a table to shield himself from the stray bullets. Fortunately, Munakata failed to see Naegi and thus does not know what he looked like yet he is confident that the Ohwada brothers will nail the boy down.
"Catch him alive if given the chance…shoot him down if he tries to escape."
"Yes, boss!"
"You got it!"
"And make sure he does not escape through the elevator!"
"Right!"
"You sure you want us to catch him alive?"
"If you have the chance, but if not, then waste him."
"Okay!"
"Sure!"
As the Ohwada brothers went towards the area, they looked around to see if Naegi is here, and a few other gunmen accompanied the two in finding him. Naegi peeked as he saw the gunmen are closing in on him, and he weighed in on what to do, realizing that he has no other recourse as his own life is not only on the line, but also Maizono and the other hostages, and he closed his eyes tightly for a few moments before making his decision.
By then, Daiya and Mondo found Naegi hiding behind the table having seen his ahoge, and the brothers grinned as they sneaked their way through to surprise him before shooting him on sight, wanting to kill him rather than taking him prisoner as they believed that he had seen what Munakata did to Takagi as well as setting an example to the other hostages.
"Okay…come on out…"
"Don't worry…we won't hurt you…"
"We want to talk to you…"
"Yes…come on out…let's have a Christmas party…"
"Just the three of us…"
"And we'll make you into a Christmas pudding…"
"With your carcass as food!"
"Ha-ha!"
As the Ohwada brothers are closing in, Naegi removed the safety pin and tossed the grenade on the floor and rolled towards the two brothers, where they stared wide-eyed seeing what it was, and they shouted to the others about the grenade, which alarmed Munakata at what he just heard from the Ohwada brothers shouting at him.
"What the fuck?"
"It's a fucking grenade!"
"Hit the deck!"
"It's gonna blow!"
"Take cover!"
"Munakata!"
"Get down!"
"!"
As Munakata ducked underneath the table, the grenade exploded and the impact killed Daiya and Mondo, then injured three additional gunmen, which the scene was covered in smoke, and Naegi took advantage of the confusion, sneaking away from the scene, then went to the elevator and pressed the button where it was programmed to head for the ground floor lobby, then he went out of the elevator and re-entered the fire exit to head to the upper floors.
As the smoke cleared, Munakata got out of the office room and surveyed the scene, seeing that most of his men were killed, and he took out his radio to contact the rest. He managed to reach out to Sakakura and told him that a hostage managed to escape, and after checking the elevator, seeing that the floor indicator showed that it is heading for the 30th floor, he told Sakakura to capture the hostage, or if possible, kill him.
Sakakura nodded as he went towards the elevator, preparing to intercept, and Munakata radioed Fujisaki and told him to toggle the elevator and have it stop at the 30th floor, and Fujisaki sighed seeing that their Christmas rush has hit a roadblock, but Munakata assured that no one will escape the building and things will proceed as planned.
"Looks like our Christmas spree is taking a hit…"
"Do not worry, Fujisaki…the hostage will not escape."
"Really, Munakata?"
"Yes."
"Fine then…"
"Just toggle the elevator and make it stop on the 30th floor."
"Okay…got it."
"Good."
After that, Fujisaki toggled the controls, and the elevator stopped at the 30th floor, and there Sakakura braced himself, and as the elevator door opened, Sakakura opened fire, firing his machine gun and shoots wildly, causing the hostages to scream in terror, fearing for their lives, yet Maizono and her idol band members remained calm, as Sakakura stopped, seeing that the elevator was empty, and he took out his radio and told Munakata about it.
"Munakata!"
"What?"
"The fucking elevator's empty!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"How…? Wait…"
"Boss?"
"Listen well, Sakakura…"
Munakata then deduced that the elevator was just a distraction, and looked around until noticing the fire exit, and there he tells Sakakura to have some of his men head to the upper and lower floors using the fire exit, deducing that Naegi cannot be that far, and tells Sakakura to shoot the hostage on sight, believing that Naegi is armed after using the grenades at his men.
"What? The hostage is armed? How can that be?"
"I do not know…but knowing you, I am sure you can handle it, Sakakura."
"So is it okay if I kill him on sight?"
"Yes."
"Good…been a long time…"
"Just be careful…he may be armed given how he grabbed the grenades…"
"Sure."
"Good."
Nodding, Sakakura instructed Izayoi and Kuwata to have watch over the hostages while instructing Soda to head downstairs and find the escaped hostage, which Soda grinned as he left along with some henchmen, while Sakakura went to the fire exit and went upstairs, taking a few henchmen with him, and as the hostages wondered what happened, Maizono slowly guessed that Naegi is somewhere within the building, and may have done something to cause the gunmen to split up.
She sighed in relief as she realize that he is safe for now, but then Satomi asks if Naegi is really trying to escape himself, but Maizono assured that he is doing what he could to get help, which Satomi is doubtful if Naegi is really that reliable.
"Are you sure about that, Sayaka?"
"Yes, Satomi-chan…"
"What if that boy is just…"
"I know Naegi-kun…he will do something to get help…"
"Really?"
"Uh-huh…"
"Still…I think that Naegi is a playboy…"
"He's not!"
As Ayaka watched her two bandmates squabble, Izayoi approached the girls and told them to shut up, aiming his katana at the girls, which caused the idol band members to go silent, and the scene shows that Soda is walking towards the stairs of the fire exit, heading down, and is carrying his newly-invented weapons as he sang a taunting rhyme, telling Naegi to show up.
Sakakura, on the other hand, went to the 32nd floor, checking the area to see if Naegi is there or not. He kicked several tables to see if Naegi is there hiding. After a few minutes, Sakakura was pissed as he found nothing and went back to the elevator to proceed to the next floor while his henchmen uses the fire exit to find Naegi.
To Be Continued...
