Hi this is Benji Himura. I am now starting a new Sakura Taisen/Wars fanfic. This is an altered dimension story. I don't own Sakura Taisen or any of the characters. I also don't own the characters of the game named Dividead. The personalities and actions of the characters are changed. As well events and names of the school. All the others characters belong to me. Dividead belong to C's ware. Some anime or manga characters might show up in the story I also don't own then. I own Benji Himura and others characters that will show up in the story. It might be violence and sex in the story so if you are underage of seventeen are warned the content might be too improper to your age. Read by your own will and risk. In anyway enjoy the story.

Signed: Benji Himura.

Lights go on and a stage show up and red curtains rises. A tall man with long black hair tied on the base of his head, wearing dark blue pants, vest and shirt walk in and say:

Hi everyone I am Benji Himura the writer and character of this story. This is my new Sakura Taisen/wars fic.

He make a pause and say:

Let me give you all a brief explanation of this story. It will happen away from Teito or Tokyo. It will be on a school on the interior of the state of Kyoto but far from the capital. It a private boarding school on the middle of nowhere. The closer city or village is away four hours in a car. Walking take about ten hours to make it. So you begun at seven in the morning and arrive on the village at fife in the afternoon that not stopping for nothing. The school grounds are very large. More details on the story. Many of my own characters will be on the story. If is not from any anime is mine.

He make a pause and say:

Now the more important detail it all happens in 2002. So there is steam power but is outdated. And think on the future of Sakura Taisen/wars series but with out the kouma wars. All the hanagumi will be there. Even Ogami. As for then they was the theater troupe but they have closed the theater for make large repairs on the building. The hanagumi have the older ones eighteen years. They all will act in the most similar way as they do plus few changes for the story sake.

And he stop and a short girl with long dark brown hair wearing the school uniform walk in and Benji say:

And attention everyone this is Tanaka Hoshie. She is a character that belongs to HaruNatsu. I have her permission to use her. And she agreed to be part of the story.

And Tanaka bow shyly and say:

Hi everyone. I am going to be around the story. I hope that you all enjoy it.

And she straight up and Benji say:

See it was not so hard.

And she blush and he say:

So you are beginning to get used to this now?

And she nod and say:

Is not so hard after you get used to it

And Benji say:

Is true. You are doing well. On this rate I will let you do the credits alone.

And she blush more and say:

I don't want to the credits alone!

And he say:

Fine. Then we do it. Now say it.

And she nod and she say:

I hope that everyone enjoy the story.

He give her a friendly slap on the shoulder and say:

Good.

And he bow to the audience and say:

Please enjoy the story.

And they walk away.

The battle high that is traveling is:

Kumi, Tanaka, Miki, Sachiko, Julietta, Shuji, Azusa, Midori, Kimihito, Ogami, Kanna, Kohran, Maria, Iris, Sakura, Orihime, Reni, Sumire, Aki, Benji and Ayase.

Chapter seventeen: Travel and reunions.

And two hours later all the battle high is on the parking lot near the shrine stairs and Madoka say:

Well here is the key. Aki here is the keys. The communicators are in the trucks. I will update with the information as soon we got then.

And the brunet nod. And the group is divided in half and they get in the very large black trucks. And they drive away. Kimihito is driving the second truck. And Aki is leading then on the first truck. And Tanaka is on the second truck with Benji and Julietta on a large room that seen like an apartment living room. And Julietta say:

No matter how many times I get in here I still got amazed with the Seino technology. Put a nice room like this on a truck. I love this place. Is better than a trailer.

And Benji nod agreeing. On the room have Miki, Sachiko, Kanna, Maria, Midori and Sumire. All of then are sited on some sofas on the room. The room is decorated to look like a normal room in an apartment. It has many sofas and chairs, a table on the middle of the room, a balcony in a side dividing the room, and a stair leading to another area. It has TV, radio and more electronic devices. And Maria say:

Why we didn't have one of this to travel to here?

And Benji say:

Sorry babe. This is for official business only. On this truck alone have weapons and ammo enough to start a war.

And Julietta nod agreeing. And a phone on the wall rings and Benji pick it up. And Azusa say:

So boss how is in there?

And he say:

Fine. And in there?

And Azusa say:

The juniors are checking out the truck. Specially Kohran.

And Benji say:

Well don't let her get in the frames and on the vehicles. Taking out that she can poke around as much she want.

And she say:

Okay.

And she hung out. And Kanna say:

That is nice.

And Sumire agree nodding. And Julietta say:

Well we have long hours to kill before get in there. So what about we play something?

And Tanaka say:

Like what?

And Julietta say:

Well my friends I got in here a very exclusive version of one of the top ten Seino games. Is called Dual madness.

And Benji got pale and say:

What?!

And Julietta smile and say:

This is a game based in some of the adventures that Benji and I was in. in an RPG with a dating simulator as well a powerful battle engine. And have place for four players in the Game cube.

And Benji say:

How you got that?!

And Julietta say:

I ordered a pre copy of the original full especial Death pack edition. That includes as you know a garage kit of all the major characters. Or that mean you, me, Kumi, Jo, Isis and let's not forget that very nice naga girl called Sylph. And as you know very well is the one that you banged.

And he say:

Why you told her that?!

And Julietta say:

Is a good story for game.

And he move closer to her and she get behind the table. And Benji move to one side and she more to the same getting away from him. And she say:

What is wrong? The poor Seiryu don't want to play to get the naga AGAIN.

And Benji say:

When I get you I will shove that CD up your ass.

And they circle the table and Sumire say:

That is sure something different to see.

And Benji leap over the table. And then the truck stop suddently. Julietta unaware of that move forward and hit on Benji. Both of then fall on the floor. Kissing. And after recover they break the kiss. Benji grab the CD while she is distracted and she say:

Hey give it back to me!

And he say:

No way.

And Maria say:

I wonder why we stopped.

And she move to see. And on the cabin Kimihito is stopped behind Aki truck and Maria say:

What happened?

And Kimihito say:

Aki stopped. So I have to stop too.

And after a long and a bumpy trip they arrive in Nara. In there the two trucks are communicating frequently. And Benji say:

We are supposed to meet Sei to drop Jo.

And Aki say:

I know. See if you can put her in a line so we can set up a meeting point. In preference in a large and empty parking lot.

And Benji say:

Okay.

And half hour later they are in a old parking lot of a closed shop. The trucks are stopped side by side. The battle high is walking around to stretch up. And after few minutes another truck just like the one of then taking out that have silver details drive in the parking lot. And Jo say:

They arrived.

And Benji say:

I can see that.

And the truck stop near of the other two. And a side door of the carrier is opened and a dark blue haired woman wearing a tight black lather outfit come out from it. She is followed by a girl with no more than fourteen years old with short pink hair wearing a light dress and with a small bag pack on her back. And closing the line a woman with long black hair tied in a bun, she have Japanese features, she have a white skin and a very well defined body. And she is wearing a tight and small social shirt that make her large breasts seen larger, she is also wearing a tight black social pants and a small black blazer over the shirt. And Orihime say:

Why they are all well builded and pretty?

And Kimihito say:

Is an tendency of people who use energy. They usually are prettier than the rest.

And Orihime only look at the group. And the pink haired girl hug Jo and after a warm greeting they begun to talk. And the black haired woman move closer of Benji and she say:

Hi Benji have been a while.

And he say:

It have Sei.

And she say in a sexy tone:

You know after we lost part of our personal on that failed attack when you rescued Jo we need extra personal. Want to join? I can make very attractives offers.

And she wink sexily to him. And he say smiling:

Very Temptating Sei. But you know very well that I have business to set.

And Shuji whisper to Ogami and Kimihito:

Why they always throw themselves over him?

And Kimihito say:

Is called of alpha syndrome.

And Ogami say:

Alpha syndrome?

And Kimihito say:

Put on this way. From all of us. Males around here Benji is by far stronger right?

And the other two nod. And Kimihito say:

Plus he is the leader right?

And the duo nod again. And Kimihito say:

So of all of us. He is the male alpha. The leader of the pack and the one with better material to pass to the incoming generations. Taking out that in that syndrome is also chosen by the amount of energy. More powerful you are more you tend to attract other people that have energy around you. So Benji attract then with that.

And Shuji say:

Is not fair.

And Kimihito say:

True.

And Sei say:

So how Jo behaved?

And Aki say:

Well enough as usual.

And Sei say:

Is nice to see you again Aki.

And Aki say:

Same here Sei. But don't try recruiting him while I am near. You know that I don't like it.

And the other woman smile provocatively. And Benji say:

Can we let this for later. We have some rangers to kill.

And Sei say:

That is right. We need to discuss what we will do.

And they nod and move to the truck that Sei and the others have come. And inside the room everyone is sited and Sei say:

Lisa show then what we got.

And the pink haired girl say:

Hai.

And she type something in a laptop. And a holographic image appear in the middle of the table. And Sei say:

What we know is that lately some weird attacks have been happening around the city limits. Comparing to previous experiences of Benji with the rangers and to our own database we think that they are trying to raise a barrier.

And Julietta notice that Tanaka is nervous and hold the girl hand to give some comfort. And Tanaka notice the gesture and look at her quickly. And Sei say:

We have no idea of why raise a barrier in here. There is no sign of demon activity in here for almost one hundred years. And lately this city have been showing nothing too.

And Benji say:

To keep someone out?

And Ogami say:

Or to keep people in?

And Sei say:

That can be the reason. So we are thinking that they want something that is in here. A person, a object, it can be anything. But must to stay here for some reason.

And Aki say:

What else we know?

And Sei say:

About the rangers we found that Terry the commander that Benji and you faced on the last time have gone insane. He is seeking power. And he is now a terrorist. His group is following him thinking that is a mission. Or they are on the same path.

And Julietta say:

That explain why the marionettes.

And Sei say:

It does. They want the technology of the Seino. As well they try to get a copy of Benji body frame.

And Aki say:

What?! Benji frame?

And Sei say:

Yes. Not the armor. But his body frame.

And Maria say:

What is a body frame?

And Aki say:

Is like the blue print of a body. Is a map made after a series of exams and tests on a person. Also have sample of tissue as bone and muscles to create tissue to replace some that might have be lost.

And Maria say:

But why Benji's?

And Aki say:

Benji is strong and have a powerful energy. With Benji frame they could make a army of soldiers with the same characteristics of Benji. As strength, speed, energy, among others. And since they are seeking power mix Benji frame with they own would give then lots of power.

And Sei say:

They also try to get from Julietta and Jo. But they was stopped by you. So they are working with out then. That is good. The trio is bad enough being one. We don't need an army of then.

And Aki nod agreeing. And Jo say:

I feel insulted.

And Benji say:

Same here.

And Julietta say:

Me too.

And after sometime Sei say:

That is all that we got. A bunch of information but no one really useful.

And Aki say:

Is an starter. We need to do a search on the city.

And Sei nod. And Aki say:

Okay. The battle high will do it too.

And Sei nod. And Aki say:

Okay. Each senior get a junior and pick a vehicle and go search.

And they nod and leave the truck. And after a half hour Benji, Julietta, Kimihito, Shuji, Midori, Azusa, Miki and Sachiko leave one of the trucks. They are wearing a modified version of the school uniform. There is no blazer. And Benji is wearing over that black leather pants and a black leather jacket. Under that is his vest. And Maria say:

Wait a minute. Is that an armor?

And the clothes have reinforced shoulders, elbows and knees. On Benji clothes the plaques are even more visible on this leather clothes and on his uniform. And he say:

Well they are armored.

And Aki say:

Since Benji sometimes act before think we double his armor. So how we will divide then?

And Benji say:

All the non fighters will stay behind in the truck. As well anyone with sixteen or inferior age.

And Ogami say:

But that cuts out Reni and Iris.

And Benji say:

I know. Also cut Ayase and Tanaka. Kumi will stay too.

And Julietta say:

Wait but Tanaka is the only one who actually knows the city! We need her on the field.

And he say:

Wrong. Because she is the only who know the city we need her on the communication. So with a map she can guide us.

And Sei say:

He got a good point.

And Benji say:

Each senior grab and junior. All the junior that remain with out a senior stays behind.

And Benji say:

Orihime you go with me. Put on one of the uniforms that have on the storage and it fast.

And the Italian say:

Why me?

And Benji say:

You are closer to me. Now go. Or you want to stay behind.

And she say:

I want go with Ogami.

And Benji say:

Is one senior and one junior. You two are juniors. So you are not going together.

And Kimihito say:

Ogami you come with me. Dress up to go.

And Ogami nod and walk to the truck. And Sachiko say:

I will take Kanna.

And Miki say:

I get Maria.

And Azusa say:

I will pick Sumire.

And Midori say:

I pick Sakura.

And Julietta say:

I get Sakura.

And only remain Kohran and Benji say:

Okay. All the juniors go dress up. Kohran you sty here with the others.

And she nod. And the rest of the hanagumi walk in the truck. And after few minutes they are dressed. Kimihito, Benji, Miki and Azusa are in motorcycles. Julietta, Midori and Sachiko are in cars. And Aki give then small head sets and she say:

We will stay in here. Jo is also going. But she is going alone.

And the seniors nod. And Orihime wearing the tight uniform with a also tight leather biker suit say:

Why I have to go in that?!

And Benji say:

Because I will go in a bike. Now hop in.

And she put on a helmet and get in the bike. And Aki say:

Make regular reports in every ten minutes. Report anything unusual. Is still four in the afternoon. So search around until eight in the night. After that contact us for anything. If you need to talk with another person who is on the field say the name. Each person have one frequency. And we will pass to the person. Is only talk. You don't have to do anything.

And they nod again. And Aki say:

Remember report any irregularity. Now go.

And they nod and drive away. Meanwhile in a shrine a teen with long black hair wearing a priestess outfit is sleeping under a shade of a holy tree. Suddently she wake as if she have come out of a nightmare. She is very pale and covered in a thin layer of sweat. And she say:

What was all this about?

End of the chapter seventeen.

Benji walk to the stage and say:

I hope that you guys have enjoyed the story. It was fun to write.

And he make a pause and say:

All the characters that is not from the Sakura Taisen is mine. Taking out Tanaka Hoshie. The cities of Sawamura, Tsukiakari and Kowa are fictional. Any semblances with real Japaneses cites by name or location are coincidence. Taking out the states and the capitals all the others cites are fictional. As well locations as shrines, river, mountains and others locations.

He pick a paper from his pocket and say:

All the organizations named on the story are fictional any resemblances with real ones are coincidence. And explanation about then will be given on the story.

And he pause and say:

And thank you very much HaruNatsu for reviewing the story. I hope that you and anyone else that is reading this have enjoyed the story.

He bow to the audience and say:

Please read and review. Any opinion is valid. Even a bad one.

And he bow to the audience and walk away. The curtains fall and the lights goes out.
