Movement Eight: A Living Daylight
"She's an inferior woman, uses her body to seduce and deceive males…"Natsumi Koizumi is lying calmly, even severely in witness box: "She always takes the same train to attend school as Makoto Ito of Class 3 does, and she took a fancy to him. Even knowing he has a girlfriend Sekai Saionji and they share a deep relationship, but she still utilized her body to seduce him. At the beginning she still had some scruples, but became bolder and bolder day by day, at last she murdered Sekai Saionji in order to win Makoto Ito's heart. What a terrible person…"Natsumi Koizumi acts passionately, painfully as she lies. "You are lying!" Simcity is angry to hear this shameless mendacity, so angry almost flings the desk over with papers on it. "Silence! You'll have your time to speak!" Judge uses the hammer, in courtroom, this wooden object is Jehovah, everyone must bend to its authority. "After enough times of being repeated, even lies become truths." Says Paul Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda mininster of Third Reich. At now, at here, similar lies have been repeated again and again by Kumi Mori, Minami Obuchi, Nanami Kanroji, Setsuna Kiyoura, those lies will be literally believed if no retaliation is made. Simcity peeks at Kotonoha, she's motionless as a statue even under such shameless slanders. That's not surprised, compare with being raped, these humiliations are too "friendly". Simcity: "Your Excellency, I request the presence of defendant witnesses…" Lies only can be vanquished by truth, at least it can be a stalemate. "Sorry, defendant witnesses can not attend due to their private reasons." Simcity: "Then I request use their depositions…" "All defendant witnesses had canceled their depositions last night." "How could…"Simcity cannot believe his ears, but when he scans on Okamura's face, who is behind these is clear.
"Now the prosecution witness, Taisuke Sawagana to state his deposition." Simcity finds Kotonoha has some reactions to this name, she's shivering extremely splitting. "She came to me that night…he didn't dance with her, so she came to me and we…"Kotonoha is shivering more and more drastic, her delicate hands clamp in to cuffs as she's in grievous pain. "Objection!" Simcity slaps on desk and stands up, point forefinger directly to this imposthume rapist: "You raped her! What you did had been recorded by security camera…" "After third-party verification, video record was edited, so it will not be trusted." Okamura's insidious tone. "What…?!" Like being hit on head by a hammer, Simcity slowly sits back to seat. Now he realizes an objective fact: Why nobody dares to upset Osama Bin Laden? Because he has guns and explosives! Currently Simcity hopes he has such things in hands. "Our men still not all positioned?" He asks Price via a hidden micro communication device, but reply is "Patience". Glances at Kotonoha, tears are falling from her eyes, each of them seems weight for a ton.
"Police Command Squad is positioned!" Captain Duke can't help to shout with excitement. Price: "Good! All units are set. We commence as planned, Tower Squad and Police Command Squad attacks first, Tower Squad initiate rescue fifteen minutes later. I want this operation goes smooth and swift, let's finish it in thirty minutes!" "Roger!" Three squads respond almost simultaneity. A successful military operation relies on not only armaments and skills, also coordination and solidarity. Knowing this is a task force even more elite than any forces in the world, Colonel Price shows a confident smile.
Tokyo Police Command HQ is situated beside a busy artery, this triangle building resembles to a dreadnaught's bow. It's loosely guarded, for nobody dares to challenge its stateliness. However not everybody is deceived by its "Emperor's New Clothes". Without any warning, a heavy-duty container truck stops, the car behind it almost collide into its tail. "Can you drive or not?!" Shouts by the upset driver, he is immediately answered by the intense vibration of the container. A deep-low noise is coming out from that metal cuboid, like a monster is breaking free from cage. Expecting what's happening, the driver ceases cursing and runs away. This is a correct decision, since as he begins running, the steel-plate of container door is blasted off from interior, a colossal armored vehicle rushes out, its thirty-ton weight crushes the abandoned Japanese automobile almost instantly. Lieutenant Boomerang, driver of the truck, exits cockpit unhurriedly, raises a PF-97 Shoulder-Launched Fuel Air Explosive Rocket Weapon, fires a rocket to Police Command HQ after a rough aim. Above the structure, the rocket automatically dismember, smog of air explosive is sprayed out to mix with oxygen in atmosphere…then, the earthshaking explosion occurs, violent enough to be compared with a 120mm high-explosive(HE) shell. Shockwave blows dense-arranged satellite dishes on the roof to a dozen of different directions, some of them collide with the enormous bulletproof glass curtainwall of the building, turn it into "frosted glass".
After a few seconds of total silence, everyone near Police Command HQ is thrown into grave terror. Even those inside the structure are well terrorized, from high-rank superintendents to normal clerks, each of them runs to corridors far from glass curtainwall or drops to the ground or takes the countermeasure to earthquake—hides under strong-built desk, entire building is in chaos. This "warning shot" is for avoiding unnecessary casualties when wrecking the Police Command HQ farther. Another fuel air explosive rocket, launched by Colonel Destro's PF-97, explodes at a proper position, the weakened and cracked glass curtainwall is blown into billions of sharp darts, penetrate into walls, floors, desks…with high velocity, makes them look like products of Swarovski. "People of nowadays don't know how to construct." Says Colonel Destro, as a war orphan in Cambodia like Simcity, he has some obsession to explosives and explosions, he also sticks to a view "a real structure must overcome trails of demolition". "This is Tokyo Police Command HQ! This is Tokyo Police Command HQ! We are under terrorist attack! Send backups immediately! Repeat…" Maybe being wakened up by second explosion, Police Command HQ begins to send distress signals to every branch police station and unit, even traffic police and Coast Guard are hailed. Seems they're going to scramble all the enforcers in Tokyo to their position. Enforcers in different uniforms respond quickly, they pick up weapons and hop in motorcycles, police wagons, riot armored vehicles, even some commandeered civilian vehicles. But they obviously forget one thing: That is, now it's still rush hour. This problem won't be solved by their subjective wills, even they raise volume of alarm whistle to a deafening level.
Location: Tokyo Tower
Door of Central Command of Broadcasting and Television is blasted open by specialized tiny charges as commandos storm in. "All of you! Stand up! Move aside! Quickly!" Lieutenant Jam is imitating Han Solo's tone in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Taken by surprise, the staff complies. "What's going on?" Two securities appear at the door to the nearby security room with revolvers, but Lieutenant Shura has already prepared to deal with them. He grabs the first security and shuts him down with an elbow punch on back, then dodges a shot from second one, punches him with right fist, shuts him down as well. At another door, Luke kicks right into a security's belly, turns him into a projectile to blow down two more securities behind. Another security attempts to shoot commandos via stairs to upper level, Yuriko throws out cordage, captures him, then pulls to the floor three meters below.
"Get in quickly!" All staff and securities are handcuffed by plastic manacles and are locked into security room. Some of them are brave enough for a cursing: "What do you terrorists want to do?!" "Terrorists? If you think Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack, Nine One One, London Subway Bombings and Moscow Theater Hostage Incident are masterpieces of terrorism activity, then you've seen nothing yet." Replies by Yuriko as she locks the door. Meanwhile Major Adama is working on his laptop, planting mainframe with specialized hacker programs. His fingers is acting exceedingly fast on keyboard, even only afterimages can be seen by others. Born in a prominent family, he began to seek for challenges in childhood-by studying the way to become an elite commando, but his crowning speciality is hacking into computer systems. "Finished!" He presses "Enter" key, then his effort promptly takes effect. "Warning! Stratigraphic anomaly detected, please prepare for high-magnitude seism and tsunami. Warning! Stratigraphic anomaly detected…" Top-level hazard warning is sounded to entire Tokyo with maximum volume, just like many years earlier, B-29 squadrons of mighty USAF arrived at this city to unload their cargos called "napalm". On the streets all the vehicles stop, everyone move to emergency shelters with order and slight panic, results scrambled enforcers completely jammed on roads. All the trains stop operating too and empty out railways-the green passage for commandos to withdraw. At Tokyo Bay, all the people had been evacuated, which means commandos in the wet dock complex are only ones stationed in this sector. Adama opens cabinet contains system core of mainframe, plants a piece of tiny backdoor hardware, then seals the cabinet by welding. Once Kotonoha Katsura is secured by Court Squad, this hardware will force all television channels and radio frequencies to broadcast incriminating evidences of the government repeatedly.
"I hope you've purchased enough insurance." Captain Baron drives Bradley IFV onto the road. "Nine-o-clock, elevation angle zero, fire." Order is issued by vehicle commander Captain Duke, who is lack sense of humor. Nine 25mm blanks are fired to the other side of the road, scare off a platoon of policemen approaching from same direction. The ramp of IFV opens, five commandos move out to joint the fight. "Look! Something worth for a challenge!" Lieutenant Boomerang points at four riot armored vehicles appear at a corner far away. Those vehicles with S.A.T. symbols only can fire small-caliber slugs even pressurized streams of water, and their armors are design for rogue civilians that hadn't show up for decades. Lieutenant Zaku raises his MGL-140 grenade launcher, fires six rounds to enemy vehicles. A series of explosions occurred, from near to far, blasts generated by 40mm HE grenades knock at light-armored riot vehicles' hulls, forming a number of hollows, like being punched by Hercules. Stunned, the first vehicle loses control, results in a multiple collision-with the other three. "This is a discount for you!" Zaku is a man gets every pocket, pack and slot of battle harness filled with grenades, which prove his unnatural ability and obsession of demolishing and destroying. Now this place is excellent for him to demonstrate these properties. Three concussive grenades are launched to S.A.T. members who just crawl out from wrecked transportation, explode like massive fireworks used in celebration ceremonies. S.A.T. members are well trained, too well, their drop weapons and run like hell.
After a swift check, vehicle commander Plasma Snake presses primary switch, engine of M1A1 MBT is started, a powerful stream of electricity runs through vehicle, wakens up this metallic monster from hibernation. From central console of cockpit to both sides, countless light-emitting diodes come back to life in sequence, colorful lights are shining upon the crew. The bright main light is on, M1A1 reaches full speed as Plasma Snake issues the order, breaks out from container of the truck. Outside, in the front of court, hundreds of policemen and S.A.T. personnel are using automobiles, barricades, walls, parterres, even mailboxes as shelters, firing at the Bradley IFV witch already engaged in battle-now they have to deal with the M1A1 too. Hostile fires are too dense and frenzied, like pouring rain, and the effect is just like raining-useless. Revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, shotguns, sub-machineguns, assault rifles, vehicle-mounted emmagees…those policemen do pack some heavy gears-yet heavy enough for military-level targets, just like scratching two gigantic dragons with slingshots, yeah, totally useless. "Let's declare our opinion." Weapon operator of the tank, Lieutenant Fukai begins to operate primary weapon of the vehicle. Barrel of M1A1's 120mm cannon is turning with turret, calibrates to aim at a group of hostiles fifty meters away. A total-round blank is fired, although a "blank" but the power is still violent enough to generate a burst of hot, high-velocity gas, capable to blow the nearest Honda police wagon sky-high. An entire set of barricade is blown away and hit on the plaque of the court with rotation, causing significant damage, even the cement parterres are also affected, shift for half a meter, petals are dispersed like colorful snow, those policemen who take parterres as shelters now are in an embarrassing situation, some of them "gone with the wind", others are gravely shocked: "Mayday! Mayday! We're under attack by American garrison!" It's obvious they're too shocked, even mistaken this task force for US Army. Driver and co-driver of the truck, Colonel Deathshead and Lieutenant Rei come along, fire both's PF-97s to designated points above main structure of the court simultaneity. Explosions nail the plaque deeply into ground, and those cops nearby, get hit continuously by a series of blasts, have already been paralyzed.
Deathshead: "Let's storm inside." Rei: "What a sec, I gotta discard some unnecessary weight." He fires a couple of M-72 LAW rocket launchers to court's spike, blasts an enemy sniper out to satellite orbit. M1A1's caterpillars begin to roll, making a loudly noise of grinding metal, moves close to those policemen who even have never encountered a protester. Plasma Snake: "Be careful, don't hurt any neutrals." "No worries." Commander Skywalker, who drives the tank, seizes a chance to joke: "Those who stand still are terrified hostiles, those who run like hell are well-trained hostiles. I believe Japanese enforcers are quite qualified." Despite the prank contents, Skywalker is correct: Although constantly get their asses kicked, policemen quickly recovered from shocking statues, having rightfully expected what a raging tank can and will do, they take the most logical option of the next move-RUN LIKE HELL! Their escape is swift, unified, leaves no trait, even can be presented on opening ceremony of Olympic Game. "Speed up and collide inside the building!" Plasma Snake's order is not necessary, commandos know what they should and will do. "Let's teach those hammer-wielding fatties a lesson!" Fukai and Skywalker are overjoyed, Plasma Snake is not talking much, but he feels satisfied himself, because justice will be prevailed by them, and they're summoned for this purpose.
