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, Class 80 resurfaces as they somewhat found a way to escape the island…and seemingly succeeds…
Then an unexpected situation commences were a new problem occurs…which would leave things in a rather somber result…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 14: Higeki-tekina dasshutsu
At another area of the island, Gokuhara and Ryoma are on guard, as they are cautious and anticipate any giant insects coming, in which the SHSL Tennis Player is armed with a racket whilst carrying a pouch of metallic ball-like objects while Gokuhara is wielding a metallic staff, and the two classmates are discussing about who came up with the idea of kidnapping Class 80 and abandon them here in an island inhabited giant insects.
"Say, Hoshi…"
"Yeah, Gokuhara?"
"Any ideas?"
"On what?"
"On who brought us here in the first place? I was wondering if someone brought us here on purpose…"
"No idea. But I sure wish we got a clue on who made this up in the first place…though I doubt even Saihara-san might figure it out on the go…"
"Guess you got a point…shh…"
"Huh?"
By then, Gokuhara went silent as he sensed something is approaching and tells his classmate to be ready as he has a feeling that they are about to have an uninvited guest…or guests. Ryoma didn't like the feeling as would rather stay or fight, wanting to protect his classmates and ensure that everyone escape the island and return to Tokyo.
Soon the uninvited guest arrived, which the two boys stared in dismay as the intruder turns out to be a giant scorpion, and Gokuhara tells Ryoma to get inside and alert their classmates about the situation, which the SHSL Tennis Player appeared unwilling to comply, but Gokuhara told Ryoma to do as told as someone must inform their classmates of the situation while he will stay here and keep the giant scorpion preoccupied.
"Trust me on, this…go inside and alert our classmates!"
"And leave you alone with that thing? I can't just…"
"I'll be fine!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"…"
"Trust me on this!"
"Damn…!"
After some prodding, Ryoma reluctantly did as told, going inside the building to warn his classmates about the situation as Gokuhara is poised to fight off the giant scorpion, not showing any signs of fear or intimidation.
Gokuhara smirked as he tells his giant opponent that he know all about the scorpions and he will have no problem taking it on, despite the fact that the scorpion cannot talk.
"Okay, you eight-legged fiend…"
"…"
"You're about to face the Super high School-level Entomologist…"
"…"
"So you better be ready. I won't go easy on you."
"…"
"Here I come!"
"…"
Inside, Iruma is laughing triumphantly as she managed to COMPLETELY assembled Kibo, who is armed with enough firepower to ward off giant insects, along with a jetpack to enable the robot to fly, pull the raft and the rest will go smoothly, as well as giving him enough battery pack to last for another three days, while at the same time, Yonaga, Rantaro and the rest are able to get some raw materials to assemble a giant raft to get everyone on board to ride.
Then Kibo will pull the raft and take the rest of class 80 back to the main land. Akamatsu watches on as she wonder if this would be okay, given that there are possible other species of giant insects within and around the island, but Iruma haughtily assured to Akamatsu that everything will be okay.
"Ha-ha-ha!"
"…"
"Do not worry, Akamatsu…everything will be fine!"
"Are you sure…?"
"Yes…leave it to me!"
"Um…if you say so…"
"Of course! I invented Kibo..and I made several modifications so as to allow all of us to leave the island!"
"Very well."
Himiko then uses her MAGIC to produce extra battery packs for Kibo in case the robot runs out of energy, and Iruma clapped her hands as she is pleased by this and thanked the SHSL Magician for the help, which Himiko blushed while saying that it is nothing.
"Good work! I owe you one!"
"S-sure…"
"You magic has helped me a lot and our classmates!"
"Y-yeah…thanks to my magic…"
"Now then…can your magic make copies of our ration?"
"Um…"
"Well…?"
"I…"
Along the hallway, Rantaro is standing by when he saw Ryoma running, and when he asked the SHSL Tennis Player what is the rush, and when told about the situation, Rantaro stared in shock and worry, and told him to go back and assist Gokuhara while he will inform the rest about the situation. As Ryoma rushes back to assist Gokuhara, Rantaro rushed inside where he finds Iruma, Akamatsu and Himiko standing there around the now-activated Kibo.
There Rantaro told the others about the situation, and the three girls are taken aback at what they were told, which Iruma smirked and said that this is now the best chance to show what Kibo can do, which Rantaro asked if the robot she invented is up to the task, and the SHSL Inventor stated that she will show to her classmates the results of her efforts.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
"Hey…"
"Now is the right time to show you the results of my efforts!"
"So your robot can bail us out of here?"
"Of course!"
"And that robot can deal with the intruder?"
"Indeed!"
"Whatever…"
Suddenly, Momota and Shirogane came running, saying that Gokuhara has been injured as he is being overwhelmed by the giant scorpion, and there Iruma told Kibo on what to do, and the robot nodded as he ran off and head for the exit to confront the giant scorpion, in which Akamatsu followed, and meets up with Saihara along the way, and the two teens followed the robot, and upon approaching the exit, both are shocked to see that Gokuhara is on the ground, trembling as he is stung by the giant scorpion.
Ryoma is seen using the tennis racket to hit the metal pellets and struck the giant scorpion, though it did little to slow it down, and as the SHSL Tennis Player ran around in circles to outrun the claw attacks, Akamatsu and Saihara took the chance to drag the wounded Gokuhara away, and there Saihara gritted his teeth seeing several puncture wounds on the SHSL Entomologist, and Akamatsu saw the SHSL Detective's dejected look.
She asked him what is wrong, and there he told her that Gokuhara won't make it due to the giant scorpion's venom, which he deduced that it is five times potent due to the arachnid's size, as it also affected the venom glands of the scorpion, and thus Akamatsu stared in terror at hearing this and asked if there is any way to save him.
"When you say GIANT…"
"Yes. that means the venom's effect has been magnified…"
"…"
"Gokuhara-san won't make it."
"N-no…"
"Sorry…there's nothing we can do at this point…"
"We can't just…!"
"Akamatsu-san…"
By then, a scream is heard as Ryoma was caught by the giant scorpion's claws, and as Kibo rushes in to help, the giant scorpion's poisonous tail struck the Tennis Player on the neck, just as Kibo flew up and jabbed the giant arachnid's eye, causing it to get disoriented and released its hold on Ryoma, as the robot deals with the giant scorpion and began to draw its attention away from the prey.
Saihara went to Ryoma, who is slowly expiring due to the venom as it spread throughout his brain and torso, and there the SHSL Pianist became more concerned and urges Ryoma to fight back and live, though Ryoma could barely hear him as he is about to expire.
"Hoshi-kun!"
"…"
"You got to live!"
"…"
"Fight back! Don't die on us!"
"…"
"Hoshi-kun!"
"…"
The rest of Class 80 arrived and saw what happened, and they tended to Gokuhara, who is also about to expire, and he urged his classmate to leave him behind and escape the island, which Akamatsu bursts into tears as she just lost Ryoma and now she is about to lose Gokuhara, but the SHSL Entomologist assured to her that everything will be okay and urged her to live and escape the island with the rest of their classmates, and always look forward to a better tomorrow.
"Aka…matsu…"
"…"
"Don't…cry…"
"…"
"You must…live…escape…with our…class…mates…"
"…"
"Lead…others…as…you…always…"
"…"
After that, Gokuhara passed away, and Akamatsu cried as her classmate died in front of her, and there Saihara comforted her while urging her that they need to leave and escape the island as they will put their lives on Iruma and her robot, who is said to hold the key to helping everyone escape the island, and Akamatsu sobbed as Saihara helps her stand up in order to move out.
The others joined in as they began to make their way out where they saw Kibo managing to kill the giant scorpion and there Iruma told the others to head for the shore and have the materials ready in order to assemble the raft so Kibo can pull it and everyone will escape the island.
As the remaining Class 80 are traversing the forest, more obstacles appeared, as giant aphids emerged and are ready to take their first taste of a live prey, as for some reason the giant aphids started to develop a craving for non-plant food, as normally aphids go for plant sap, and now the giant aphids wanted to taste HUMAN SAP instead.
Momota gritted his teeth as he told the others to go on ahead as he would try to distract the giant aphids, and as he did so, the aphids went after him, and a tearful Akamatsu wanted to go after him, but Saihara and Chabashira held her back as they said that there is nothing they can do as Momota willingly sacrificed himself to allow the rest of Class 80 to take the chance to escape.
"Wait! Akamatsu-san!"
"Don't!"
"But…but…"
"We can't do anything right now!"
"Momota-san willingly did this to allow us to make an escape!"
"But we can't…!"
"Come on…let's go already!"
"We should go, Akamatsu-san…"
"…"
By then a scream is heard and the scene shows that Momota is being bitten by the giant aphids as they are sucking the fluids out of his body and he is continuously being turned into food by the giant aphids, and in less than two minutes Momota's body is reduced to dry skin and bones, though the other giant aphids are now trying to get a taste on the now-dead Momota.
As the remaining Class 80 members are halfway towards the shore and there Iruma told her classmates to start assembling the raft, which the others went to work, but then another problem presented itself when a giant mantis showed up and is ready to attack, and Harukawa is ready to intercept it, but Chabashira told her to help the others as she will deal with the giant mantis.
Harukawa asked if she is sure, which Chabashira nodded and said her aikido skills will keep the giant insect busy so as to give the others time to assemble the raft and enable Kibo to get everyone out of this island.
"No worries! Just leave it to me!"
"Are you sure? I can help…"
"You should go with the others."
"Chabashira-san…"
"I got this, so don't worry."
"…"
"I'm the aikido master! That six-legged freak won't beat me so easily!"
"…"
Harukawa appeared hesitant, but Chabashira ran towards the giant mantis and uses her aikido skills to evade the insect as she led it away from the shore. Akamatsu is starting to buck under pressure seeing another classmate is about to be killed, and there Shinguji volunteered to go and help Chabashira, which Saihara asked if he is sure, as he had a bad feeling about this.
By then the others said that the raft is almost ready, and Iruma told everyone to get ready to have the raft placed on the waters as she will program Kibo to lead everyone away from the island, but then tension rises as the giant mantis showed up, its scythes holding the upper body of Chabashira, severed from the rest of her body and is bleeding heavily.
Saihara gritted his teeth as they lost another classmate of theirs, and there Shinguji said he is ready to sacrifice himself to keep the giant mantis at bay, and told the others to go ahead and escape. Rantaro asked if he is sure about this as there is little chance that he could survive this ordeal.
"Are you sure you want to stay behind?"
"Someone has to keep that thing busy…and I'll be the one to do so."
"We can still push the raft and…"
"No time. That thing already saw us."
"But…"
"Go with the others. I'll keep that thing occupied. Just go."
"Fine."
"See you."
Seeing that Shinguji is volunteering for this, Rantaro bid his classmate goodbye as he and the remaining classmates pushed the raft towards the water as Iruma and Harukawa tied the ropes and connected it on Kibo's body, and the robot is ready to fly off and pull the raft to escape the island. As everyone boarded the raft, they were forced to watch as Shinguji evades the giant mantis in order to distract the insect from noticing.
By then the trio giant aphids showed up, and are setting their sights on Shinguji, and thus a four-way brawl ensued as they are fighting over who would get their prey first. Akamatsu felt that this could be their chance to fetch their classmate but then Shinguji shook his head sideways, signifying that he intend to stay behind to keep the giant insects from pursuing.
As Kibo flew off, the raft is pulled and now the remaining students of Class 80 are being taken to safety, and the SHSL Pianist sobbed at this as Saihara comforted her, as he knew that their classmates who are not with them have perished, and as the rest of the classmates looked back, they saw two of the giant aphids managed to pin down Shunguji and is being consumed.
Saihara closed his eyes as he opted not to watch that scene as the raft is now within the sea level and slowly drifting away from island, and now Class 80 is on its way to head towards the main land.
To Be Continued…
Hope you liked this chapter, as Class 80 got a lot of screen time as they managed to assemble the raft and are set to travel by sea and navigate their way back to the mainland in order to report to the authorities what they went through…as well as to tell that someone intentionally abducted them and had them land on an unknown island filled with giant insects…
The story now gets serious as victims are now abound as five of Class 80 members tragically lost their lives in order to save the rest of their classmates so they can escape unharmed. Much like in the PS Vita and PS 4 versions, the characters are killed off, and this includes:
- Gonta Gokuhara
- Kaito Momota
- Korekiyo Shinguji
- Ryoma Hoshi
- Tenko Chabashira
Preview:
The next chapter resumes its focus on Komaru and the group, as Komaru and the others encounter the giant insects…and are now bracing themselves as a chase is about to ensue…
See you in 6-8 weeks (probably around late March)…
Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
