Prelude To Terror II
Sorry for the long wait, folks. I sort of forgotten about this fic until I checked my e-mail and learned that there were readers awaiting the next chapter, so here is chapter 5 and the action gets bloody…and I mean BLOODY.
- - -
As Ryoma, Tsubasa and Hyuga are standing in front of the corpses, the gunman leader gave them instructions on what to do in order for them to rescue the remaining hostages though the teens knew that the gunmen have no intention of keeping their word, but nevertheless play along as this would give them a chance to have one of them break out of the mall to alert the police.
"Alright, listen up…we'll give you a five-minute head-start so you can find a hiding place just to give time to get a breather…and if you managed to get out of the mall, you get your freedom, but if we caught you on sight…bang…you're dead! That's the rule. If you managed to beat us and disarm us, we turn ourselves in. Simple as that…fair trade, no?"
As Ryoma adjusted his cap, the two soccer players glanced at each other seeing that they have only one shot at this and braced themselves for the worse when the gunmen shoved two girls towards the three sports players. Thy are Ran Kotobuki and Miyu Yamazaki, and it turns out that they were captured at gunpoint and the leader got a perverted idea to spite them.
"Okay…here's what we do…you'll be given 10 minutes interval to take down a single member of our group. I'll contact my men to see if you managed to beat them…if I get no response, then you'll be on the safe side…bit if I get a reply…and the first ten minutes is up…this little bitch here will slowly strip in front of me…"
Aya Hoshino went pale at the thought of this and the five teens are now feeling the pressure and were forced to agree to the terrorist leader's term, and all is settled. The two Super GALS, the Prince of Tennis, and the two soccer players were given the head start and ran off towards different directions, and the rest of the hostages prayed silently for a miracle to save all of them. However, the leader was lying all along as he wanted to see them suffer and after some two minutes the gunmen went after them, firing their guns on the ceiling.
- - -
At the east wing, Ran and Miyu could hear the gunshots and knew what to expect, and they started to make some preparations to do something which Miyu got an idea on how to deal with their pursuing predators, seeing a cache of huge boxes near the elevator, and the two Super GALS smirked at the idea and went in to action, hoping this would work, as they have no other options at this moment.
As the gunmen arrived (about four of them), they saw they saw the elevator beeping and saw one of Ran's bag near the door and saw the light where the floor number is being displayed and one of the gunmen took his radio and alerted his cohorts.
"They're heading for the basement level…intercept them at once!"
"Copy that! They'll be dead once we saw them…!"
By then Ran showed up behind a pillar and threw a bucket of water at them, and the floor was drenched, while Miyu revealed herself behind the boxes and threw a stun gun stick at the wet floor, electrocuting them as well as killing them. They carefully used the mop stick to remove the stun gun away and took the guns and they now have a slight advantage, as Miyu was more versatile with them since she once ran a gang of hoodlums before becoming a Super GAL.
"Are you sure you know how to use a gun, Miyu?"
"Yup…and you should know about that too, Ran…since your family are a dedicated police officials…and we got no option as we have to save everyone else…"
Nodding, Ran and Miyu began to make way for the west wing to find the others.
- - -
At the west wing, Tsubasa and Hyuga came across a sports shop, and it was huge, which better suited to the soccer players' advantage as there were several sports goods on display, including the soccer balls, and now all they have to do is wait for the gunmen to arrive. A minute later, the gunmen arrived, firing indiscriminately just to make the two teens panic.
"I knew that goon's lying about giving us a head start…Tsubasa…got any ideas besides soccer tactics?"
"It's right in front of us…once they're in range, we use our soccer techniques, and they'll be disabled in no time…we got six minutes left till the goon starts forcing the girl to strip…and one of us have to get out of the mall to call the cops."
As the five gunmen began firing at the area, Tsubasa went to the left side to use the DRIVE SHOOT to disable two gunmen while Hyuga went behind the third one to execute the TIGER SHOT, hitting him on the head. However the remaining to got close to Hyuga and pointed their guns on his head.
"Okay…don't move and stay still! We got your friend! Now show yourself or we blow his balls off!"
Tsubasa was forced to surrender as he couldn't let his friend get killed, and there the gunmen were ready to shoot them down when Ryoma appeared out of nowhere, using the TWIST SERVE to disable the two and they are out…for at least an hour. Using jump ropes to bind the goons, the trio are now making plans on what to do next as time is running out.
"You're Hyuga, right? See that vent? Go there and try to get to the outside to get help. We'll handle the rest. We don't have time as those goons will kill us in the end. And we can't let them kill off the hostages."
"And you're that tennis player from Seigaku, is it? But we can't let you get killed…Tsubasa…talk some sense in to him andtell him we need to plan things out before we…"
"Do what he says, Hyuga…it's the only way to save everyone…the two girls who are being chased by those goons might rape them before killing them…that's something the two of us will do for now…"
Left with no choice, Hyuga climbed up the vent to crawl his way though the nearest exit, while the Prince of Tennis and "Captain Tsubasa" went to the west wing to find and save the Super GALS.
At the main area, Aya Hoshino was sobbing after being pointed by guns at her and she was forced to do strip-teasing, which she is down to her bra and panties, and at the floor were several children killed with shots on their heads, and though visibly shaken, she was forced to ignore it as her life is on the line.
"Keep dancing and stripping or we blow a hole on your pussy!"
BANG!
A warning shot kept her at line and she was forced to dance in front of the gunmen, and while they're at it, Ran and Miyu secretly arrived after tricking their pursuers in to getting trapped at a refrigerator at the kitchen area and used the radios to call for help. Ryoma and Tsubasa also arrived and the four teens are making preparations on how to disarm the goons and save everyone else. They left the area briefly to go to the sports store to get soccer, golf, tennis and baseballs to use as ammo, while Miyu took crossbows and arrows to use to counter the guns.
- - -
After some five minutes, the goons demanded that Aya strip herself completely and she refused, and when the other hostages began to complain, the leader ordered his men to shoot a pregnant woman on her tummy and then her head. Using bolt cutters, they pry open the dead woman's tummy, forcing the unborn baby out and sliced it to bits, earning a loud shrill from Aya, much to the gunmen's delight, but this earned the ire from Ryoma, who arrived, armed with his tennis racket.
"That's far enough. I know you wanted to have fun since you didn't make any ransom demands…and now you're going as far as this to satisfy your carnal pleasure…guess I won't be holding back…"
"Hah! Now we got you…we'll kill you and then your sports buddies!"
"Mada-mada dane…you'll have to do better than that…"
At once, Miyu fired the crossbow arrows and disabled and disarmed the goons while Ran threw golf shots with the golf balls, while Tsubasa and Hyuga executed their soccer attacks, confusing the gunmen and the rest of Seigaku and the hostages to take the initiative and joined in on pinning down the gunmen. By then police and SWAT team have already arrived and entered the mall, and made their way through, aiming their weapons at the hostage takers and the crowd stood back as the gunmen were being restrained. The SWAT team were visibly irked and angered at the bloody scene and glared at the leader.
"You'll be getting the death penalty for causing such as ruckus…and I can't believe you kill children and a pregnant woman for having fun…now you won't get a parole…"
As the goons are taken away, Aya was being consoled by her fellow Super GALS and was slowly getting dressed. The Seigaku members reunited and were rather silent at Ryoma glancing at the dead bodies being carried away, while Tsubasa and Hyuga slowly left the mall to get home to unwind and forget the gruesome hostage drama. However as the SWAT van, where the suspects are boarded, exploded, killing everyone there, and the Seigaku players stared wide-eyed in shock.
Momoshiro: "What…did they have bombs strapped??? How did the SWAT members overlooked this???"
Kaidoh: "Sss…clever creeps…at least they didn't self-destructed in the mall…"
Fuji: "Still…they all caused this just to spite us?"
Inui: "At least we survived…and we did learn some experience in this…let's hope this never happen again…too many innocent lives are lost…and yet we don't know why Ryoma is being targeted…"
Ryoma stared at open space, dropping the racket he found at the sports shop as he has no interest in purchasing it, in light of what happened just hours ago. The rest of Seigaku saw this and tried to help an visibly irked Ryoma to recover as he already had a bad day.
- - -
Nearby, a van was parked where the tinted window showed a silhouette of men dressed like druids watching the scene, and the scene shifts to what appeared to be a CCTV which showed Ryoma doing what he did inside the mall, how he handled himself against the gunmen, and are now ready to depart from the scene. A radio conversation can be heard inside the van as it moves away from the Shibuya Super Mall.
"Master…we have recorded everything…Ryoma Echizen is the perfect specimen to be our new assassin…also two soccer players are eligible to become assassins as well…Tsubasa Ozora and Kojiro Hyuga…their soccer skills are perfect as with Echizen's tennis skills…"
"Good…good…now make preparations to capture those three…for the dawn of the new era is at hand…glory to the Cult of Illumintes! Oh…did you activate the self-destruct button…?"
"Yes…now the police won't have leads…"
"Good…good…now go home to me…and only me…"
"At once…King Tut…"
Cliffhanger...

A bloody way to end this chapter, which puts a closure in this fic.
At least all are saved, save for the unfortunate ones. But this puts a new element of mystery and surprise as this hostage situation turn out to be an experiment meant to test Ryoma's tennis skills, and now they have the needed footage, they're planning on abducting him to make him their assassin…
Preview:
No preview, actually…the continuation of this story will be carried over to my other fic, "Parasite Eve: Resonance Till Evolution", where that fic picks up where this fic left off…
Many thanks for tuning in.
