Chapter 2: The Fight For Freedom
(Opening A/N: Previously on Anarchy Of Anime, The Messiah has captured all of the world leaders, including the President of the United States, and has declared that all anime is illegal to possess. After hearing the news about it, I decided to declare open war on the Messiah along with the Dawn Of Fear saying that we of the Anarchy Of Anime will fight the Messiah to the last man and that if he wants my anime, then he'd better kill me for it. As it turns out, the Dawn Of Fear had sent it's foot soldiers after me, but I made a quick escape and had to go to the bunker, but on my journey there...I came across my second in command Tokisawa Skomai who was torturing one soldier with a single knife, after killing the guy, it turned into being an what's in store for our heroes? Well, let's tune in to find out!)
"Anarchy members, lower your weapons and place your hands over your heads, you are hereby under arrest." One of the soldiers said through a bullhorn.
Tokisawa pulled out six small throwing knives and had them ready to be thrown, and I had my AK-47 drawn out, but there were too many of them for us to fight. But, I could see in the distance, there was an incoming bus heading in our direction.
"Um, Tokisawa, best to head for cover in 5,4,3,2,1!" I shouted along with grabbing my second in command as we both dove for cover.
The bus plowed through the group of soldiers, as the blood and body parts scattered all over the ground. The bus horn honked twice, it was the cavalry. Ryuko Matoi, Mako Mankanshoku, Satsuki Kiryuin, Yuno Gasai, Sun Seto, and Moka Akashia came to our aid.
"Hurry up and get your asses over here, we need to get back to the bunker!" Ryuko shouted, and the guns begin to shoot as we along with the backup began to get into cover.
"Go, I'll cover you." I said as I aimed my AK-47 and began to lay down cover fire for Tokisawa, he quickly ran for the bus and got on it.
My heart began to rush from the adrenaline causing it to pump extra beats, now it was my turn to get to the bus, as soon as Tokisawa and I got onto the bus, the girls joined us and Gamagoori who was driving closed the door and pulled out from the war zone. My phone rang and it was Najenda, she happens to be the tactical general of our little resistance. So I answered her call…
"Yo, yo, yo, yo, this is the Ro." I said, and there was brief pause on the other end of the line.
"Okay, we found a reeducation center in Chinatown, innocent people are being taken there and we've got reason to believe that these places are using them as execution grounds." Najenda said, and I began to curl my opposite hand into a fist. Killing innocent people, is there no low these guys won't stoop to?
"Give me all the info you got on it when we get back to the bunker." I said as I hung up.
Just then, Tokisawa came over and sat next to me as he knew that being a leader of a resistance group, it's hard work.
"So boss, what was that all about?" Tokisawa asked, and I laid my head back on the seat.
"Najenda found a reeducation center in Chinatown, she also says it's being used as a execution front for those who aren't being brainwashed that easily, and it's high time for the people to know the truth." I replied, but there was a monkey wrench in our trip to the bunker, a sniper shot out the back right tire as it caused the bus to come to a complete stop.
"Sniper!" Satsuki shouted as we ducked from the gunshot, Tokisawa and I were laying flat on the ground of the bus, it seems the sniper is in one of the buildings above us. I could be at the bunker laying pipe with Mirajane, yeah that's right, Mirajane's my girlfriend. You got a problem with that? My cell phone rang again and it had a picture of Mirajane doing a cosplay of Harley Quinn from Batman. And on my phone it read, "My Beautiful Sweetheart." So I answered the call.
"Hello?" I asked, and Mirajane was getting worried about me.
"Where are you right now? I'm really worried about you." Mirajane said as if she was about to cry for me.
"Baby, don't cry. I swear I'll come to you even if I have to crawl back to the bunker." I said, but one way or another, I swear I'll get to Mirajane. The call got cut off and I was really worried, great, we just hit a dead zone.
"Uh, if you die, can I have Mirajane?" Tokisawa asked, but he should know the answer.
"Not on your life." I answered, but I knew he was joking about the whole wanting to date Mirajane thing.
But I realized, that we weren't too far from Fenway Park, home of my favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox. Unfortunately, since the ban of anime, the DoF closed down all of the major baseball stadiums let alone every major sport arena and stadium in the US. One place I'd like to go to is Gillette stadium and catch a Patriots game as well. But since they closed down Fenway, we of the Anarchy use it as a staging front for our operations. But with a sniper we can't find and the DoF hot on our heels, we need to think of something and fast.
"You guys hear that?" Ryuko said, and it turns out that the DoF have tanks in their arsenal.
"Tank!" I shouted as we got out of the bus, great we're in a killbox, between a sniper and a tank.
And I came up with a fancy name for the DoF members, we usually call them "The Lizard People." The tank was closing in on us and the sniper was getting a bead on us, this just screamed, "Between a rock and a hard place." But I'm not going to die just yet, I still think that hijacking an enemy tank and claiming it for Anarchy would help even the odds. But taking on a tank alone is a suicide mission, but it's a risk I'm going to have to take. And out of the blue there was the sound of a high powered sniper rifle like an anti-tank rifle going off, and the sniper who had us in his sights is now dead from taking a shot to the head. I pulled out a pair of binoculars and there was a red hooded girl which put a smile on my face. It was Ruby Rose, leader of team RWBY.
"Hope you didn't mind since I was in the neighborhood." Ruby said over her headset, and I pulled out my earpiece and placed it into my ear.
"Not at all Ruby, it's good that you're on our side." I said, she also happens to be an Anarchy member alongside her older sister Yang Xiao Long, plus their teammates Weiss Schnee, and Blake Belladonna. Now that the sniper's been taken care of, the tank had traced Ruby's shot and turned their attention to her. As it turns out that team RWBY happens to be my brother's guardians since he got captured.
"You leave her out of this." I said, and I began to head over to the tank along with Tokisawa.
We both quickly climbed onto the tank, as soon as we both got on top about to board it, I pulled out a hand grenade, Tokisawa opened the hatch, and I dropped the explosive device in the tank's inside causing the members to be killed from the initial blast. As soon as the tank was cleared, Tokisawa and I opened the hatch and cleared out the dead bodies.
"Looks like we just chalked ourselves a tank." I said, but before we could do anything, there was just one thing that needed to be clear that our allies won't shoot it and mistaken us as the enemy.
Tokisawa handed me a red spray paint can and I began to shake it up, as soon as it was ready, I tagged the Anarchy A on it letting people know that we are Anarchy and not the DoF.
"Anyone know how to drive a tank?" I asked, but it turns out Tokisawa climbed into the tank and got into the driver's seat.
"Just like riding a bicycle." Tokisawa said, yeah a 10,000 pound mechanized bicycle with a 250 mm cannon.
The guardians then joined us as we began to head through the streets of Boston, as I looked into the tank, I noticed that there was a built in P.A. system, and I just had the microphone. This is going to be so much fun, in fact how I look at it, we could use a tank to even up the odds. If we can get this back to the bunker, and have Sasumi tinker the crap out of it, then we'd have a fighting chance. Just then, the DoF had sent a group of soldiers to try to apprehend us. I had the microphone in my hands and the P.A. system on the tank seems to be in working order.
"Attention, DoF assholes! This is Anarchist leader Roman Rideout, stand down now and allow us to pass to Fenway Park. Consider this your only warning." I said over the P.A., and it turns out that they begin to shoot at us.
When the bullets began to fly and hit the tank, I quickly ducked inside trying not to get hit in the process, and I tell you this ladies and getlemen...don't think I was happy for one second.
"How's that for an answer?!" The DoF sergeant barked back, Ryuko and Mako loaded a shell into the cannon.
"That does it, and don't say we didn't warn you, OPEN FIRE!" I shouted over the microphone, and the shell blasted the vehicle the soldiers were riding in exploded into a firey piece of twisted metal and the soliders standing in front of it also took the damage from the blast as well, the soldiers standing in front of the were blown away by the blast and they scattered all over the ground dead.
The tank began to move forward as we passed the dead bodies of the DoF members that we just killed. This is only the cost of war, but the objective of either side is to win by any cost. As we headed through the streets, there was a DoF vehicle parked and the soldiers were escorting a single family outside, they had the husband and wife along with a seven year old boy. We stopped the tank to see if we can aid them. The husband had different anime style tattoos all over his neck and arms, the wife had a FMA crucifix tattooed on her left forearm. And the son was wearing a Naruto shirt. The soldiers had the three innocent people placed onto their knees and they had their assault rifles pointed at the three innocent civilians, the woman cried out...
"Please, don't kill our son." She begged, but the cries were on deaf ears, she was the first to be executed with a direct shot to the heart, her corpse hit the ground as she began to bleed out. The boy was next as he got shot in the forehead, the man began to shed tears.
"Why the fuck are you doing this?!" He snapped, looking at the bodies of his wife and son.
The scene made my blood boil, and and I tapped Tokisawa on the shoulder and he looked at me.
"Can I bum you for one of your knives?" I asked, as he handed me a Bowie knife.
I also had drawn one of my Glocks as well, but I also screwed on a silencer to make sure that they didn't know that I was coming. I had armor piercing rounds in my pistol knwing that these guys might be wearing some body armor. As soon as I climbed out the tank, I hid behind it so the enemy doesn't see that I'm coming for them. After getting the bead on the first soldier, I placed the first shot through the first soldier's kneecap as he dropped to one knee and placed the second shot through his head. I walked out from behind the tank and shot three well placed shots in the chest with the second solider as he joined the wife and son, along with the first soldier in death. The third soldier drew a Beretta 92F, and had it pointed at the father with the intent to pull the trigger and blow the man's brains out, but I shot his hand and disarmed the soldier, as he grabbed his hand in pain...just like the first soldier, I shot him in the knee and placed the knife onto his throat.
"You do this all for the name of anime? You people make me sick." The soldier said, and I gently shook my head no.
"This isn't just about anime, it's about freedom. You bastard took it from us, and we're going to get it back. Do you have any last words?" I asked, gripping my second's knife and the steel cut into the skin drawing blood.
"Go to hell." The soldier hissed, and with a small breath being inhaled through my nose, followed through the exhale of the mouth. May the gods forgive me of my sins.
"From the dust you are created, and into the dust you shall return, lies, murder, and deception will lead you straight down hells path, and there you will burn. May God or Satan have pity on your soul, rest in peace." I prayed as I sliced the last guard's throat open and the blood gushed out like a fountain.
After surveying the scene, the husband was the only person that survived the chaos. A revelation then hit me like a bolt of lightning, since we're killing these guys, we're no different than the DoF, but the only thing that makes us different is the fact that we kill in the name of freedom, and the DoF kills in the name of opression.
"Oh my god, why? Why did it have to happen to them? Why God?" Asked the husband as he cried over the deaths of his wife and son.
So I did my part by placing my hand over the boy's forehead as he died with his eyes open, then slowly sliding the hand down his face closing his eyes, after that, I pulled out two pennies and placed them over the boy's eyes. This was to make sure that he paid Charon to cross the river styx.
"I tell by the tattoos on your body, that you're a fan of anime." I said, and he nodded, both he and his wife along with his son were a family of anime fans, seeing someone as young as seven year old being taken from this earth.
"You, you're an Anarchy member right? In fact, you've got to be the leader." The man said, and I nodded my head letting the man know that I'm the leader of AoA.
"I'm the lead anarchist, Roman 'The Otaku reaper,' Rideout." I said as I extended my hand out showing a sign of respect and sympathy to the gentleman I just saved.
He then extended his hand and with a firm grip shook my hand in a form of respect, he still had a few tears in his eyes.
"My name is Connor McCreary. My wife was Anna, and our son was Damon." He said, knowing the names of the deceased, we both knew that the only way to make sure that they rest in peace is making sure the person behind all of this pays for the crimes they committed on these people.
We both placed a white sheet over Anna and Damon letting people know that they died by the hands of the DoF. Now we needed to Fenway Park if we have a chance to get to the bunker.
[Fenway Park...]
As soon as we got to Fenway Park, there were DoF all over the place. The only question on my mind was, what's the DoF using Fenway for? So I pulled out my binoculars and began to look around. I was kind of noticing that the DoF members were looking like the Messiah, and I do have a theroy...the Messiah might be using these stadiums and arenas as cloning labs. Can't say I'm 100% about my theory without any solid evidence, but there's always the option of going into enemy territory and getting the info firsthand. But first, I gotta call it in. I had the earpiece in my ear connected to the radio.
"To any Anarchy members in the vicinity of Fenway park, Please respond." I said, and for a few second there was static then I heard a male voice.
"This is Jin Ryuno of the Anarchy, how are you holding up?" Jin asked, and I kept looking through the binoculars as the guards kept walking around and making sure that no one goes into the stadium.
"I'm still breathing, I'm right outside Fenway, but it turns out...that it's crawling with DoF members, and I might have a small theory about the soldiers, this place might be a cloning lab due to the uncanny resemblance the soldiers have to the Messiah." I said, and Jin was a little skepitcal about it. He then got to an abandoned apartment building that overlooked Fenway Park. As soon as he got into position, he pulled out his .308 Remington 700 with Silencer knowing that this was going to be a stealth op.
As soon as he got on the roof, he was wearing digital camo which allows him to be invisible to the naked eye. Sasumi created it for us in case we needed to go silent and didn't want the enemy to spot us. But these thing are limited, but it can be recharged in short intervals. But enough about the tech, let's get back to the action. Jin had the first guard in his sights as the guard was coming close to my position. A silent gunshot went off and the bullet whizzed through the air hitting the side of the guard's head as the bullet exited and the guard dropped to the ground dead, I gotta make sure that no one finds the corpse so I dragged the stiff to a nearby out of sight cover and hid the body right behind it. I then placed the pin Sasumi made for me and placed it onto my shirt. This pin can alter the user's abilites, and it only works for members of the AoA. After placing it onto my shirt, I tapped it twice and placed my hand over it.
'Activate telepathy.' I whispered, and the voice in my head signalled me that the telepathy was activated.
"Telepathy activated, who do you wish to contact?" Asked the computer voice, and there's only one person I know that could help.
'Sasumi Mokochi.' I whispered, and I placed my third and index fingers against the side of my head.
"One moment please, connecting...connecting...connection." Said the computer voice as I made a connection with the inventor of the rebel alliance.
(Sasumi, are you there? This is Roman, if you can hear me, please respond.) I thought and there was a connection with her.
(Oh, hey Roman! Where are you? We're waiting for you back at the bunker. Are you in trouble? And is Jin there with you?) Sasumi asked using the same ability.
(Okay, I'm at Fenway Park and it's crawling with DoF assholes. Jin is in a abandoned apartment buidling adjacent to the stadium. Right now, I'm trying to investigate a theroy about some of the DoF members, try to tap into the glasses cam you made using my glasses.) I informed the smart girl, luckily, she was at a computer and she actiivated the built in camera that was built into my glasses.
(What's this little theory you have?) Sasumi asked, and I zoomed the camera on one of the guards who has an exact same face as the Messiah.
(I think we might be looking at clone soldiers here. This is just a theory but I can't be 100% about it. I'll keep our telepathy channel open, I need someone to talk to. And I mean professionally.) I thought, and she kept her end of the connection open as I did mine.
As I kept moving deeper into the baseball stadium, it seems that they captured women who were "forced" to surrender their ovaries to the Messiah. I found out by seeing a DoF member guiding a group of women to the ladie's bathroom. Is there no low this bastard won't stoop to? But it turns out that after the women's ovaries are extracted, they are killed and their bodies are taken out the diamond and their bodies are buried in the pitcher's mound.
(Hey Roman, I found something on the Messiah that'll tickle your fancy.) Sasumi said in my head.
(Alright, I'm listening...) I thought, there was the sound of computer keys clacking on the inside of my skull.
(Okay, here's the thing, The "Messiah" happens to be a former US Senator that was on a peace confrence in the middle east. His twelve year old son had an affinity for anime, and he spent day and night watching it, the son neglected his chores, and disobeyed his parents. While in the middle east, the terrorists captured him and tortured the guy, he was forced to become someone who he is now. After coming back to the states, he killed his wife and his twelve year old son using a .44 python revolver. But that's not all, after killing the wife and son, he set fire to his son's room saying, "DEATH TO ALL OTAKUS!")
(The Messiah's son, he's a martyr for the AoA. Even though he disobeyed his parents, he's still an Otaku to the grave. And that's a plus in my book, but let it be known, if the Messiah kills any other Otaku, then it'll be the blood of the Messiah's son. No wonder the sonofabitch has a murder boner for otakus. But this is my official philosophy, we kill in the name of freedom and anime, whereas the DoF kills in the name of opression and fear. But our goal is to make sure that anime is legal once and for all. Even if it kills me.) I thought, but that just shone some light on what kind of monster the enemy is.
"Keep it moving! We don't have all day!" One of the guards said as he escorted a group of five women who looked like they've been used and are about to be executed.
What the crap? Are these women about to be executed after donating their ovaries to the war criminal? Only one way to find out...
[To Be Continued...]
(A/N: Well guys, here's another chapter, and I'm still looking for more people to work with and I was running out of ideas, and Sasumi is the inventor of the rebel alliance or the AoA. And the pin is an ability enhancer, and if you guys wish, let's see what other powers can work with the S.Y.O.C.s, and please be sure to leave a review, faves and follows are still optional, along with any ideas for future chapters! So, until the next chapter, this is the master of chaos, the commander of the legion of corpses, BloodyDemon666 signing off!)
