The invisible god descended from heaven
His judgment is at the door
Come his hand over the enemies
And his kingdom will never end
His eyes to show the truth
Dawn of the 26th of March 2016 - Island Forest
"Amazing, it's morning already ... how the hell is this hard to find a house on such a small island" the blue haired boy thought, then his tentacles got out and said to himself: "Oh well... I'm not in a hurry so, better start having some fun"
Morning of the 26th of March 2016 - Island's farmhouse
"So let me get this straight, how are we going to survive? The house is now under the scope of the other contestants, thanks to the asshole host" Haruka was worried about the now known farmhouse.
"Yeah, I know it. We heard Homura's announcement too last night" Jiu reassured the sniper boy.
"So, what will our counterattack be?" Haruka thought about defending the place.
"Have faith, Haruka-kun ... after all, we have Ide-sensei on our side" Jiu kept reassuring him.
"Yep, and luckily for all of you, I'm an ace with tools" the professor came out the house's abandoned room accompanied by a giant robot.
"What do y...woah" Haruka shut himself up after seeing the robot.
"Ta-da, our perfectly working pursuit droid" the professor showed the robot with proud eyes.
"Wow cool, when did you build it?" Sugino and Okajima asked.
"Well, to be honest, the droid was already here, along with other things ... like this other one, but it'll take me more time to repair it; but anyway this one will guard the farmhouse and will kill everyone who steps foot in the area" the professor explained.
"Good for us, then..." Haruka scratched his chin and nodded in approval.
"But we have to be alert what so ever, at every new level, there's a risk that the droid can be destroyed" the professor warned the guys.
"New level? What do you mean, Ide-sensei?" Sugino asked him.
"The show is like a videogame; it has level , each more harder than the old one" the professor briefly explained.
"Really? Explain with details" Karma asked the professor.
"Right now we're still at level 1; in this level the contestants have to kill each others and try to survive on the island. Everytime a certain number of contestants is reached, the level changes. In our case, when on the island the number of contestants reaches 5.000, the level 2 will be activated" the professor laid out the next steps of this infamous game.
"A-and what it will consist of?" Okano asked, holding Fuwa hand.
"Zombies" the professor said with a very concerned face.
"Zombies?! You're kidding us right?" Haruka didn't believe it.
"Well, maybe is better to specify... they're old test subjects, traitors, spies and so on ..." the professor and Jiu looked at each other, then he said: "Jiu-san knows what I'm talking about..."
"Boys, girls ... even kids, reduced to dementia thanks to the tentacles" Jiu had his head down during the whole sentence.
The teens began realizing that it wasn't a joke; they were about to see the complete effect of the tentacles on a person.
"In level 2, the zombies will be brought on the island and they make no distinctions; they'll kill and destroy without thinking about it ... after they're all dead and on the island there will be 100 contestants, the level 3 will begin" the professor kept preparing the teens on the upcoming levels.
The teens faces got blank, except Karma and Haruka, as the professor kept explaining the levels.
"On level 3, creatures much more dangerous than zombies will enter the scene" the professor announced.
"What can be more dangerous than zombies?" Chiba asked.
"The laboratory guinea pigs, the failed experiments for the creation of the new generation of tentacles" he announced.
"And they're much stronger than zombies?! And don't we have to use special anti tentacles projectiles?!" Okajima asked shocked.
"Much more, they have superhuman strength but their weakness is that normal bullets can harm them" the professor made the pill more difficult to swallow.
Now, everyone present in the room began fearing for their lives, even the thougher ones Haruka and Karma.
"What can be worse than that after? Nuclear bombs? Aliens?" Haruka sarcastically said.
"Paradoxically, the fourth and last level is the easiest one, when there will be only 30 competitors, they will be taken away" the professor explained.
"What does that mean?" Karma asked for more informations.
"When that target is reached, the final 30 contestants will compete in a final match against the new "God of death", whom I think you have already met" the professor said.
"And that will be the part where will be actuate our plan" Jiu interrupted him.
"If we refuse to fight, they'll be forced to declare us all 30 winners" the professor ended the sentence.
"Woah woah, stop for a moment and hear yourselves talking ... it'll be already a miracle if we survive now, but zombies, guinea pigs ... please ..." Haruka said and sat back on the armchair.
Jiu looked at the sniper teen, his nerves were starting playing with him; he was losing faith.
"What's going on, soldier. You're losing the energy already? And what about all the speeches you've done about the group and surving together?" Jiu questioned him.
"Because I didn't know about the levels dumbass, now is more clear..." Haruka was cut off by the kitchen door, that flew open.
"Good morning everyone, all good? I made breakfast for everyone: coffee or cappuccino and ice cream, yummy " Hinano greeted his friends and offered them some treats for breakfast.
"Cool Hinano-san, I was almost blinded by hunger" the professor took a tray of treats and began eating.
"Uhm, is this big robot dangerous?!" Hinano said, frightened by the giant silver robot.
"Quite the opposite Hinano-chan, this is our guarding robot" Jiu assured her.
"Thank god" Hinano said.
"Ahaha, now let's have breakfast" Jiu said and everyone agreed.
"Wait up guys, and the speech? We didn't finish talking about it" Haruka asked them.
"We will have time to discuss it, soldier. Now let's go eat some breakfast" Jiu said and went into the kitchen.
Haruka shrugged and followed them to eat some breakfast; but he stopped when he noticed that Hinano had another cup of ice cream in her hand.
"Where is she going? She couldn't possibly give it to Yada or Kataoka 'cause they're still unconcious so don't tell me she's going..." the curiosity and a strange feeling made Haruka shiver; so he called her: "Hey redhead"
"Yes Haruka-kun, do you need something?" she asked him.
"Where are you taking that ice cream?" Haruka asked.
"To Nagisa, obviously ... he will have to have breakfast, right?" Hinano said.
"No,no no ... that guy is the most dangerous killer on this damn island; and if the guy you're going to meet is no longer the Nagisa you know? How do we put it?" Haruka asked her in anger.
She then looket at him closely.
"What?" Haruka said.
"You're jealous aren't you?" Hinano asked him.
"Me?! Jealous?! Hahaha... please, don't say blasphemies" Haruka laughed at those words.
Hinano made a grin at him and said: "Relax, I'm going to give him the cup and return straight back here and by the way, he's tied up. What can he do to me?"
"Ah, I don't care redhead. Do what you got to do" Haruka said looking around.
"I imagine..." she said and winked.
Haruka winked back at her and she left.
"Why do I keep losing time. I'm an asshole, that's what I am ... an asshole; right let's go eat some ice-cream, I'm sure it'll taste better than the one she is going to give him" Haruka thought and went into the kitchen to eat his breakfast.
Hinano descended the stairs that lead to the basement; she opened the door of a room where Nagisa was tied up to a pole in the center of the room.
"Good morning" he said.
"Morning, I brought you something to eat. I hope you like ice-cream" Hinano said.
26th of March 2016 - Island forest
In the meanders of the forest, Maehara was fighting with a wannabe magician.
"I summon you, spirit of death and command you to take my opponent's soul" the wannabe magician said.
"Nothing happened" Maehara was confused.
"Then ... great spirit of things, gather your energy and hurl it at the enemy" the wannabe wizard tried another spell.
"Goddamnit, why do victims give me a reason to kill them?" Maehara thought, then he said: "Listen wannabe wizard, stop it with this bull..."
"Fireball, rock throw..." the magician kept on going.
"Did you know, I've also got a wand?" Maehara asked him.
"Really? Where?" the magician asked.
"Here" Maehara stabbed him with a bayonet he stole from a dead body.
"Aaaah" the magician screamed in pain, Maehara kept going until the magician exhaled his last breath.
"Booring, he didn't even try to fight back" Maehara said, but then the click of a loaded gun was heard behind his head.
"Freeze buddy" a girl's voice said.
Maehara turned around and saw a girl; it was Sumire.
"Didn't you had enough of killing around?" Sumire asked him.
"Well good morning, what do you want?" Maehara was not impressed, he was threatened with a gun before.
"What do I want? Uhuhuhuh... well, it'll depend on what you're going to answer me" Sumire smirked at him.
26th of March 2016 - Island's farmhouse
Back at the farmhouse, Hinano was still in the room with Nagisa.
"...I hope you like ice-cream" she said.
"Of course I do and I see there are a lot of flavours" Nagisa noticed the colours.
"Well, I didn't know what flavours you liked so ... I just kinda put every flavour that was in the cooler. Maybe I messed up on the dose?" Hinano explained the choice of flavours.
"Oh don't worry about it, I appreciate the gesture" Nagisa thanked her for the breakfast.
"What do you mean, Nagisa-kun? Has anyone ever done anything like this for you?" Hinano asked him; the look he gave was enough to make her understand that the answer was no.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Nagisa-kun" she apologized.
"Don't worry, it's nothing; and given my 'problem' it is right that people stay away from me. But I see that you're not following my advice" Nagisa spoke very calmly.
"That's because everyone has the right to be loved and helped ... And besides, what danger I'll be in? Haruka and Okajima tied you up good" Hinano explained.
"Ah, it was Okajima and Haruka who tied me up?" Nagisa asked.
"Yes why?" Hinano was confused by that question.
"Because they're not good at knots," Nagisa said as the ropes fell to the ground.
*Timeskip*
Yada woke up abruptly and gasped : ""Oh n-no!" as she found herself into a bedroom.
"Where the hell am I?" she thought as she got up from the bed.
After a quick look around she figured out where she was
"Ah of course! This must be the farmhouse... but when did we arrive to it? The last thing I remember is..." her thoughts were interrupted by a flashback
"You're pathetic and weak!" a boy said at her in the flashback.
"Damn... well if I stay here, I'll rot myself up. But where are Haruka and the others?" she said to herself and noticed an open door.
"Maybe they're in the other room" she thought and opened the door.
As she opened it, she found herself in an apocalyptic scenario.
"What the heck happened here, a tornado passed by or maybe..." her thoughts were broke again by a whine.
"Y-Yada s-san" Haruka whispered to her with last grasp of voice he had, he was holding himself up on a pillar.
"Haruka-kun!" Yada noticed him and ran to his aid.
"Haruka-kun what hap... oh my god!" she cut herself off as she saw the big red stain on Haruka's shirt.
"He k-killed them... he killed them all... he caught us by surpri... bleargh" Haruka coughed up blood and tumbled on the ground.
"It's too late for me ... g-go! run awa..." before he could finish the sentence he recieved the final blow by Nagisa.
"Y-YOU!" Yada yelled, as he recognized the person.
"Good morning, princess!" Nagisa said with his crazy face drenched in the blood of her friends.
She froze at that sight; the boy left out an evil laugh.
"What a bunch of idiots, those guys. They should have killed me when they had the chance! ... Well, it doesn't matter anymore, they'll damn themselves for this missed opportunity in hell..." then she turned his face towards Yada : ".. hell that you're about to reach!"
"No!" Yada yelled.
"What are you going to do? Fight back? hahahaha ... It's pointless because you're weak, weak, WEAK!" Nagisa said and picked up a pipe.
"Tha-that's not true! No stop... please... NO!" Yada begged for her life.
Then suddenly Yada found herself in the bed again and let out a bone cracking scream.
26th of March 2016 - Outside the farmhouse
The scream was heard from the outside.
"Holy moly, I really think this is the smell of fear" the blue haired boy thought.
The tentacles came out and he went investigating the matter.
26th of March 2016 - Island's farmhouse
The scream brought everyone on a fight or flight response.
"What the hell was that scream?!" Haruka asked, looking at Jiu with a worried face.
"It must be Yada-san, the scream came from her room!" the professor speculated.
"Let's go check on her" Jiu said. Him and Haruka left the room to check on her.
As they entered room, it was empty; Yada was gone.
"Oh crap, that's terrible!" Jiu said.
"She ran away! Is she outside?!" the professor asked.
Haruka was fearing the worst: "If she's outside, she's in big trouble!"
"Ide-sensei! Please tell me that the droid isn't already working?" Haruka asked the professor to confirm his suspicions.
He didn't answer the question, it was pretty obvious.
"Fuck! That thing attacks everything outside the house right?" Haruka angrily asked.
"Yes, unfortunately Yada-san is in big trouble!" Jiu answered the question.
26th of March 2016 - Outside the farmhouse
Yada was out of the building, when a giant silver droid approached her.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Prepare to be eliminated!" the droid was ready to turn Yada into a mass of beat-up meat.
But then something hit the robot and he began malfunctioning.
"MALFUNCTION!MALFUNCTION!" the robot exploded.
"There! So it would not bother us for a while" a boy said.
Yada turned around and saw a familiar looking boy.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Who am I huh? Let's just say I'm with the good guys" the boy answered.
Jiu, Haruka, Hayami, Sugino, Chiba and professor Ide began searching for her.
"Yada-san, where are you?!" Jiu yelled.
"Jiu-san, keep your voice down, some hostile competitor might hear us" the professor scolded him.
"Hey guys, I found her!" Haruka said and got close to her.
"Hey, could you explain to me why did you scream like crazy and ran away with the risk of..." Haruka was suddenly cut off by the sight of the robot on fire.
"Yada-san, what happened? How did you ..." Jiu was cut off. by her.
"You are alive," Yada said
"What? Why we don't have to be?" Jiu asked.
"Leave it, I talked nonsense" she said.
"Wow, what mess ... did you do that Yada-san?" the professor asked.
"Uhm no, it has short circuited itself and caught fire" she lied.
"What?! Dang it, with all the effort I spent to fix it" the professor said, kicking the robot's leg.
Haruka looked at her, she seemed disoriented, indeed, upset.
"Did she have a nightmare? A shock? What the hell is going through her head?" Haruka thought, then asked her: "Yada-san ... is everything ok, are you feeling well?"
"Yeah, I'm ok. Nothing has happened" she said with a smile.
Haruka raised his eyes in disapprovement.
"That's very kind of you worrying about me" she said to him.
"Hey girl, don't get strange ideas" Haruka warned her.
The professor looked at them with a smile on his face.
"Well, the important thing is that you're okay, Yada-san. Now let's go back, it's not safe here" Jiu ordered.
"Sir yes sir!" Yada said jokingly.
26th of March 2016 - Unknown Location
"Homura-san, did you see that?" Tatsuno said, indicating the screen.
"Yeah that's scary, I think we should cut "that part" but we have to show it to Yanagisawa-sama to get his approval" Homura suggested.
"It seems absurd, but I agree with you. Who the hell was that blue-haired boy? I want to check the contestants list, do you have one, right?" Tatsuno asked Homura.
"Yes we do" Homura affirmed.
"Then let me consult it, now!" Tatsuno ordered.
"Calmly and say please" Homura thought and went to take it.
26th of March 2016 - Island's farmhouse
Back inside the farmhouse, the group has just showed Yada the house's interior.
"So this is the inside of the house, I was expecting something a little more fancier" Yada said.
"Yada-san, having a roof on your head and a bed in a show of the death like this is pure gold" Haruka scolded her.
"Hehehe, you're right. Anyway, where's Hinano?" Yada asked.
"I guess she's keeping company to Nagisa" Jiu supposed.
"Nagisa?! Our classmate?!" Yada asked shocked.
"Unfortunately no, he shares his name but is a completely different person" Sugino explained.
"Who is this guy then?" she asked.
"Well... it's complicated to explain. Some things happened while you were convalescent..." the professor struggled with words.
Haruka looked at them and thought: "Yes, explain to her that... maybe we share the house with a crazy tentacled guy with extreme bloodlust? Or that we're not going to reach the final level alive? And then there's... Sumire, the girl I met in the forest before. I've actually never talked about it with others ... should I do it? And what do I get in return?" he then got up and went into the guns locker.
"So, who's this Nagisa? Should I have to be worried about him?" Yada asked.
"Well... you see... do you know about peace treaties?" Jiu asked her.
Yada looked at him and said: "I get it, I'll go see him by myself" and left.
"Wait, you might not be ready for this" Hayami tried to stop her but it was too late, she dashed down the stairs in the basement.
26th of March 2016 - Farmhouse's Basement
Hinano heard someone coming down the stairs, it was Yada and she looked in a rush.
"Oh Yada-chan, you reco..." she was cut of by Yada.
"Nagisa is inside there right?" she asked to Hinano.
"Oh well, I don't know if it's the right ti..." she was cut off again by Yada.
"I don't care if it's not the right time, if we have a new team member, I want to meet him" Yada said and moved over Hinano to enter the little room, only to froze on her marks seeing that familiar face.
"But... that is..." she remebered the face.
*Flashback*
"You're weak" Nagisa said.
*End Of Flashback*
"Piece of... it's you! You bastard!" Yada wanted to tear him apart.
"Wait! I'm sorry! I can explain" Nagisa tried to defend himself.
Hinano put herself between him and Yada and explained:" Yada-san stop! He is a subject and the tentacles make him go on a rampage!"
"What?" Yada said.
26th of March 2016 - Unknown Location
On the big screen, the face of the blue haired boy was shown.
"Homura-san here is the last list of contestants" an intern said to the show's host.
"About time, intern!" Homura said and picked it up.
Consulting it, the blue haired boy's photo was not in the list; realizing the error, Homura said: "Ehm, Sasagawa-san..."
"Yes? What did you find out?" Tatsuno asked.
"That boy is not in the list" Homura explained.
"How's that possible? There is a loose cannon around the island and we don't know who is he?! But what kind of efficiency is this? "Tatsuno was angry with the host.
"Listen, is not easy to choose ten thousand contestants, sometimes something slips" Homura dusted the thing off.
"Maybe you could miss her job for such carelessness... anyway, did you show the video to the boss?" Tatsuno asked.
"Yes and I'm on the phone with him now" Homura affirmed and took the phone out.
"Homura-kun, it's time for level 2" Yanagisawa said.
"Are you sure, sir? It's a bit early" Homura asked him.
"Do it or I'll have your head!" Yanagisawa ordered.
"Ok, at your order boss" Homura said and ended the call.
"What did he say?" asked Tatsuno to the host.
"To immediately initiate level 2" Homura said.
"Already? But we didn't reach the 5.000 contestant goal yet" Tatsuno objected.
"The boss said that it's necessary. The contestant cannot kill him so easily" Homura said, then turned to his inters in the control room and with a evil grin said: "Let the sheeps to graze"
The intern nodded and pressed the button that initated level 2 and Homura opened the intercoms to make an announcement.
26th of March 2016 - Island
"Attention to all contestants, it's Heiji Homura speaking" Homura creaked through the old intercoms.
The group inside the farmhouse stopped everything they were doing; while Sumire and Maehara listened patiently sitting on rocks.
"I have an announcement that will make everyone jump! Due to forces majeure..." the intercoms creaked as Homura stopped for a second.
"... it ha been anticipated the move to level 2 of the reality" Homura finished the sentence.
"What?! The fuck is happening here..." Haruka thought.
"Oh, that's more interesting" Maehara said in a sadistic way.
"The 'sheeps' will be delivered tonight! I'm sure they'll take great care of you. ehehe" Homura let out a sadistic laugh.
Back at the cabin, who knew jumped in fear.
"Sheeps, what did he mean with that?" Yada asked, puzzled.
Hinano looked at her in horror; she knew what was the level 2.
"The zombies! They'll arrive tonight!" Jiu said, now drowned in panic.
"Those bastards! Both the producers and the assholes who watch this shit-show! I bet Tatsuno will be laughing ... but I won't give her this satisfaction; she want a war? Well, I'll put the war up her ass" Haruka thought and headed for the armory.
He searched through the armory and found some very cute toys to play with; he took the custom G3A3 assault rifle with a grenade launcher and fully re-stocked the sniper rifle and put it on his shoulder.
He got out of the armory and said: "So the sheeps will take good care me? I think it'll be quite the contrary. Infact, I think we'll give them a nice special treatment... boys and girls! Arm yourself to the teeth; let's prepare ourselves to greet them"
"YEAH!" they all said and each of them went to the armory to find weapons.
"That's the spirit, soldier" Jiu patted Haruka on the shoulder.
"I'll fix the droid immediately" the professor said and went in the workshop again.
Haruka nodded and smirked; death was calling him, but he was ready to give him the middle finger.
Outside the farmhouse, the blue haired boy was now past the defense line; he smirked and said: "Thank you... Yada-san"
TO BE CONTINUED...
LEVEL 2 INITIATED; THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!
