Chapter 4: Rescuing Koji
Takuya and the others rushed down to the other Firefighters that would be willing to help them out.
"Ah, Takuya!"
"Sgt. Tai!" Takuya went up and shook hands with him. "Did you get my message?" He said.
"Yes Takuya. We've prepared some objects for you to use to rescue Koji. These would help you get through the building." Tai handed Takuya some objects.
Kouichi, Tommy and Takuya began preparing themselves. Takuya thought he should check on Koji by his walkie talkie. "Koji! Koji! Can you hear me?!" He waited for an answer.
Nothing.
"Koji! KOJI!!" Takuya tried again; Kouichi was worried even more.
"Yeah Boss?" He finally answered.
Takuya and the others were relieved. "…We're coming for you Koji!! You hear?! We're coming for you! Don't go anywhere!" He demanded.
"Okay Boss. I'll be waiting for you guys."
"Good."
"Boss?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell Kouichi…I'll be fine." Takuya smiled and looked at Kouichi was crying just a bit in happiness.
"…I will." Takuya smiled and went up to Kouichi.
"Thanks Boss."
"Kouichi," Kouichi looked at him seriously. "Koji said to tell you that he'll be fine."
"…" Kouichi stud silent. "Thank you, Takuya."
"No problem. He'll be okay Kouichi; we're going to get him out no matter what." Kouichi nodded and they went to rescue Koji Minamoto.
They entered the blazing building, starting from the first floor and their destination, the fourth floor.
"Damn, couldn't get any hotter then this!" Tommy wiped his forehead. They avoided some flames and avoided fire.
"Yeah, and they say Phoenix was hot." Takuya said. "Everyone okay?" He looked back to see his companions behind.
"Yeah! Just a little hot, that's about it." Kouichi stated.
"Damn…" Takuya exclaimed.
"What? What is it?" Tommy asked.
"I guess when the explosion occurred; the building collapsed on this side and blocked our way." They were blocked by the bridge that Koji crossed.
"Either that or it just was melted away from the blazing fire. Looking at the rail and chains." Tommy pointed at the melted metal.
"Yeah, looks like it." Takuya examined it.
"Isn't there any other way to get to the other side?" Kouichi asked.
"I wish there was, but we're going to have to saw through here." Tommy said looking at Kouichi.
"Okay, let's do it." So they started to saw the bridge.
