Chapter 76 - Evil
[Inside Devil's Mountain]
(As the plane circled around Alonso prepped the packages by the cargo bay doors of the plane. RYOBU and KSK now made their way towards the room of the children to save them. Gero was in the lead of the group and ran as fast as he could towards the door)
"Alisa-san! Please unlock it!"
"Unlocking the door now!"
(As Gero was waiting for the door to fully open he felt searing pain in his head again. It wasn't pain from the possession but pain from his brain damage. The pain was so intense that it made him lose focus. Enough for him to fail to notice the silhouette of a person when the door opened. The person lunged forward holding a piece of steel aimed at Gero. He was so out of focus that the only thing he felt was the cold steel piercing his flesh as both of them fell on the floor. Tsuneo just witnessed his son get stabbed in front of him and even he couldn't contain his voice)
"GERO!"
"Taichou!" Naomi shouted
"Get off him now!" Kal shouted
(When RYOBU and KSK aimed their weapons at the person that stabbed Gero they didn't shoot because they saw Gero wave his hands at them signaling them to hold fire)
"Don't shoot!"
"Gero!" Ono shouted
"I'm fine.."
(Gero slowly sat up and showed them that his left hand caught the blade and pierced through his hand. He was able to stop the force of the stab just an inch before it reached his chest. The person that stabbed Gero suddenly stood up by the door of the room and extended his arms)
"Get away from the door!" Lt. Kurt shouted
"Stand down Kurt..he's not going to hurt anybody..right?"
(When Kurt got a good look at the person he realized that it was just a kid. He had the same ragged clothes and no shoes. He was shivering in fear and his hair was long enough to reach his back)
"nicht schießen.." the boy spoke in German
[Don't shoot..]
"Everyone lower your weapons.."
"Tu ihnen nicht weh.."
[Don't hurt them..]
(Everyone then saw that the boy was just trying to protect the kids inside the room. The boy looked at them and he had no light in his eyes. Gero was shocked to notice that the boy was Japanese)
"No way..he's japanese?!" Takashi reacted
"It's going to be ok..we won't hurt you..we're here to save you.."
"..." the boy was unresponsive at first
"Can you understand me?"
"Y-Yes.."
"What's your name?"
"K-Kin.."
"Alright Kin-kun..I'm going to walk towards you now ok? Don't be afraid.."
(Slowly Gero walked towards the boy named Kin and he hugged him. Kin was surprised and he didn't know how to react. But soon he hugged Gero back and started to cry knowing that they were now safe)
"You did a great job Kin-kun..I'm going to need you to hang on a little bit longer.."
"P-Please help them..my friends.." Kin said
"We will.."
(Gero's team now went inside and secured the kids. They got them out of that cold dark room and gave them food, water, and warm blankets. They were a mix of boys and girls with different nationalities)
"Everything's going to be fine now.." Klara said
"No need to rush in eating..there's more of that so you can eat as much as you want.." Naomi said
"This is horrible..look how skinny they are.." Sgt. Sakurai said
"They must've been starved.." PFC Shun said
"Senpai look at their arms.." Takashi pointed
(They saw that the kids had number tags on their arms)
"Like cattle.." Kal said
"Those bastards.."
"How many in total Lt. Kurt?" Tsuneo asked
"There's a total of 30 kids here sir.."
"Alright let's get ready to move them!"
"W-Wait!" Kin suddenly shouted
"W-What's wrong Kin-kun?"
"T-There's more of u-us.."
"What?"
(Kin then pointed somewhere to their right where a dark corridor was)
"Assam-san..turn on the lights over in that sector.."
"Switching them on now.."
(As the lights turned on more doors came into view. The same doors as the one that the children had. Everyone was shocked to see more and already knew what was inside)
"Unlocking the doors now.." Alisa radioed
(One by one the doors unlocked and each of them had kids inside. They were slowly taking a peek through the door checking it was safe but why were too scared. Kin then walked towards them and called out to them)
"Everyone..come here..it's alright.." Kin said
"Kin? W-Who are they?" a boy asked
"They saved us..they're friends.."
(After hearing that more and more kids started going out of the rooms. They too had long hair and ragged clothes. Soon the corridor was filled with kids and KSK escorted them outside the mountain)
"H-How many are there?!" Kal asked
"Doesn't matter how many..we're going to save them all.."
"Young master let me treat your hand already.." PFC Nana said
(Gero forgot that he had a hole in his left hand from Kin's stab and it was bleeding all this time)
"I'm fine Nana..it's just a scratch..go help the kids.."
"But still!"
"That's an order.."
"Roger that.."
(Nana left to tend to the kids while Ono approached Gero to give him a status report)
"Colonel Alonso is now up top with the KSK..they're giving out supplies to the kids as you ordered.."
"Understood..thanks.."
"How's your hand?"
"I'll live..besides..I can't feel pain anymore.."
"Y-You mean.."
"Yeah.."
(Ono knew immediately that Gero's sense of pain was already gone. He can no longer feel pain physically which puts him a step closer to losing his humanity. They then saw Kin walking towards them with a sad expression. With the lights turned on Gero had a good look of Kin. He had brown hair and brown eyes and Gero noticed that he was taller than the other kids and he looked older. If he was to compare Kin to other kids he would be a first year high schooler)
"Onii-san..I'm sorry about your hand.." Kin said
"Don't worry about it..I know you were just protecting the others..you were very brave.."
"Alright that's all of the kids! Let's leave this place!" Tsuneo ordered
"Major..there's another level! It's directly beneath the children's rooms!" Assam suddenly radioed
"What? Another room?" Tsuneo asked
"What's inside?" PFC Shun asked
"This level has no cameras inside so no way to see from here..furthermore it has a double lock mechanism..it can only be opened by turning the keys from the main control room and the main lock by the door!"
"Where is the entrance?"
"Head west towards the end of the corridor..you should see a metallic door.." Alisa said
(They now headed towards the door as instructed by Alisa. They looked at the door and they all felt an eerie feeling from it. Something was wrong and they just don't know what it was)
"What could be behind this door?" Lt. Kurt asked
"This is where the people in black clothes took the other children.." Kin said
"You mean the soldiers?" PFC Shun asked
"Yes.."
"What happens inside?" Cpl. Kaito asked
"I don't know..but I saw a lot of people in white clothes go inside and out of this room.."
"The doctors and scientists.."
"Assam-san please open this door for us.." Tsuneo said
"Yes sir..I'll head down there while Alisa-san opens it from up here.."
(Assam then went down to the door and typed some codes into the console. Then she placed a key on the side which they got from one of the guards)
"Ready Alisa-san?"
"Just say when!" Alisa said
"On my mark! 3..2..1..mark!"
(Both of them turned the key and the double lock mechanism activated on the door and it opened slowly. The room was darker and colder compared to the rooms of the children. When they decided to turn on the light the first thing they saw sent chills down their spines and tuned their stomachs)
"KYYAAAAAA~!" Assam shouted
(Gero immediately went in front of Assam and covered her eyes)
"Close the fucking lights!"
"W-What the.." Takashi reacted
"Were those..?" Kal asked
"Don't say anything!"
"Sakurai please take the girls out of here..they shouldn't see this.."
"Y-Yes young master..come on girls.."
"What happened Taichou?!" Alisa radioed
"It's nothing..you too Alisa-san go up to the surface and regroup with the team..take care of the kids and please tell Colonel Alonso to get down here ASAP!"
"Roger!"
"Nana take Kin up there as well..Shun please head to the main computer and take over Alisa's place.."
"Understood!" both replied
(When the girls left the room they waited for Alonso to get down before opening the lights again. They hoped that what they saw earlier was just an illusion but it wasn't. As the lights turned on the horrible things were again seen by everyone. It was a laboratory of some sort and there numerous water tanks that had children strapped inside of them. They had tubes inserted into their veins and some sort of light red liquid that looked like blood was being pumped into their bodies. They felt horrified at this sight and they were afraid to know what was happening)
"Are they dead?" Kal asked
"Yeah.."
"W-What the hell are you looking at?! Let's get these kids off those tanks now!" Lt. Kurt shouted
"Stop! Don't touch anything!"
"Why?!"
"We don't know anything about these machines! For all we know it's something toxic! One mistake and we'll kill every single person inside this mountain!"
"Sir Gero is right..we have to be careful.." Col. Alonso said
"Then what do we do!?" Takashi shouted
"Lt. Kurt please scout the place and make sure it's clear of enemies!"
"Jawohl!"
"Lt. Sanada..get me every single scientist that you found..RIGHT NOW!"
"Yes sir!"
(KSK searched the laboratory and found no soldiers or guards hiding. They also covered the water tanks with cloth so they wouldn't see the bodies. Sanada now gathered about twenty scientists that they captured during the operation had them line up by the wall with their arms tied behind their backs. Gero stood in front of them furious and looked at them with resentment)
"I'm expecting that everyone of you can understand english since Pandora is a multinational organization..if you attempt to run you die and if you lie to me you die..but don't worry I only have one simple question for all of you.."
(Gero took in a big breath of air and shouted)
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING IN THIS PLACE?!"
(Gero's voice echoed throughout the laboratory and scared some of the scientists while the others had no reaction. He then took out his USP pistol which had live ammunition loaded in it. He turned the safety off and pulled down the hammer.)
"No answer huh..?"
(Gero then pointed his gun towards the head of a scientist asked him a question)
"What is this place?"
"..." no answer so he moved to the next one
"What is Project Augmentation?"
"..." silence again
"What is Pandora's objective?"
"..."
"Do you want to die?"
"N-No..please don't kill me.." the female scientist begged
"Oh look at that..when it's about your lives you speak but if it's the lives of these kids you don't.."
(Gero then walked towards another scientist and he placed his finger on the trigger)
"You all make me sick.."
"Don't shoot!" a voice came from the door
(Gero looked to see a woman wearing a white laboratory robe but she wasn't with the scientists so she probably has a different job. Sakurai, Naomi and Klara was with her and they were the ones that escorted here down the laboratory)
"Why did you bring her here!?" Lt. Kurt shouted
"Sorry sir..when she saw the children up top she insisted to see whoever was incharge of the operation.." Sgt Sakurai said
"When the children saw her they seemed to know her and they weren't afraid of her.." Klara said
"Are you both alright?"
"Yes..we'd like to be here if that's alright with you Taichou.." Klara asked
"Alright..how's Assam-san?"
"Alisa and Nana-senpai are helping her calm down.." Naomi said
"I see..so who are you?"
"My name is Emma..I'm a doctor here that supervises the children's physical and mental state.."
"If what you say is true then you are not doing a great job based on the conditions of the children.." Cpl. Kaito said
"I agree..I failed at being their caretaker..so that's why I'm here to answer all of your questions.." Emma said
"Emma! Don't you dare-" a male scientists shouted but was interrupted when Gero grabbed him by the throat
"Who the hell told you that you can speak? Huh?"
"That person is Dr. Oliver..he's the head scientist in this laboratory..and the one responsible for the horrifying thing in front of us now.."
"I see..so you're the boss here huh..?"
(Gero then threw the scientist at the wall slamming his back really hard but he was still conscious. Gero then forced him to sit on a chair and tied him down.)
"Alright every time this piece of shit talks without permission he guts a punch or kick to anywhere you want..Kaito and Kal I'll leave that to you.."
"Our pleasure Taichou.." Kal answered
"You bastard-"
(Dr. Oliver suddenly received a punch to his face and stomach by Kal and Kaito for talking without permission as said by Gero. Both Kal and Kaito were enjoying to be able to beat up the one responsible for the laboratory)
"Lt. Kurt please have your men take the rest of these scientists up top and put them in a truck..we'll deal with them later.." Col. Alonso ordered
"Yes Colonel!"
(While the scientists were being taken out of the lab they proceeded to hear what Dr. Emma had to say)
"So Dr. Emma why have you come to a place like this?" Tsuneo asked
"I was given a contract job to care for the kids at this facility..unfortunately they never told me what kind of facility it was until I had a gun to my head.."
"And what kind of facility is this?" Tsuneo asked
"It's the very first facility that Pandora created to start Project Augmentation..this project's goal is to boost their military strength by any means necessary.."
"By any means..don't tell me these kids?!" Takashi reacted
"Yes..the kids you freed and these kids in this room are all lined up to become lab rats and guinea pigs for Dr. Oliver.."
"Emma! They'll kill you for-"
(Again Oliver was punched by Kal and Kaito for talking. Everyone was dumbfounded as Dr. Emma continued her explanation)
"Pandora will kill me? I've died a thousand times over for not being able to help these children..this is my way to repent on my sins.." Emma said
"Tell me more about this project..how is it done?"
"Pandora's scientists have successfully created an artificial blood that enhances physical and intellectual capabilities..this blood was used to create the perfect soldier that Pandora desires.."
"Is that the red liquid that we saw being pumped into these kids?" Lt. Sanada asked
"Yes..but the artificial blood was far from perfect..it had numerous side effects that was not part of their expectations leading to failed outcomes.."
"What side effects?"
"The test subjects gained enhanced physical capabilities but in return had reduced intellectual capacity..all brawn no brain you might say..a perfect example of this would be the soldiers in black clothes.."
"Now I get it..so that's why they never responded to any of us when we tried to converse with them.." Takashi said
"Strong, deadly, merciless, emotionless and disposable puppets..we call them Pandora's First Generation Augs.."
"Augs? What does that mean?" Naomi asked
"It originally meant 'to continue growing or increasing' but for Pandora it meant as to be something more than a human..to create a higher form of beings.."
"What kind of foolish goal is that?! They want to stop being human and create super soldiers?!"
"Did these Augs go through the same thing just like these kids?" Klara asked
"No..First Generation Augs are composed of former military, army, naval, special forces that volunteered for this project..they were looking for a fresh start in their lives and this is what they get.."
"Then who are these kids? Why did they have to kidnap kids and do this?" Col. Alonso asked
"Simple..volunteers ran out..Pandora wasn't happy with the results of the First Generation so they wanted a second.."
(Everyone again had chills sent down their bodies. Now they know why kidnappings increased the past ten years in Germany)
"You animals..you fucking animals!" Kal shouted
"How could you do this to kids?! They're just kids you son of a bitch!" Takashi shouted
"After five years of creating the First Generation Augs, Pandora thought that if they injected the blood into younger test subjects it would bring forth better results..they thought that letting the blood settle inside the bodies of these kids will negate the side effects that the First Generation experienced.."
"But it didn't..the blood killed them.." Lt. Kurt said
"Unfortunately..once they were put inside these water tanks their lives already ended..the kids in front of you right now is Pandora's Second Generation Augs..the failed generation.."
"Why did they continue with the second generation until now!? This fucking project?! Even when the results were clear?! Why did they continue kidnapping children and experimented on them?!" Sgt. Sakurai shouted
"The results were different for other children..for example four years ago we had a group of children that were able to make it out of these water tanks alive..they showed signs of improvement a week after..but after two months they dropped dead suddenly without warning..Pandora was rolling the dice with the children hoping that one of them would be a success.."
"And how many children successfully survived this experiment for the last years?" Tsuneo asked
"Only one.." Emma answered
"Who?"
"Test subject number one..his name is Kin..he was the first ever to undergo this experiment.."
"Kin?! You mean that boy earlier?!" Ono reacted
"I see you've met him already.." Emma said
"No wonder why he looked way older than the other kids.."
"Kin is 16 years old..and has been in this facility ever since the experiment started..he was the only person that wasn't killed by the artificial blood and never experienced any negative side effects..but he also didn't gain anything from it.."
"You mean he's perfectly normal?" Ono asked
"That's right..we don't know the reason why..a hypothesis that they came up with was the artificial was still incomplete when they gave it to him and that it just ended up like a normal blood transfusion..I don't know if he's fortunate that it didn't kill him or he is unfortunate that he's been here for all of these years.."
"How could you call this fortunate?"
"Forgive me for my words.."
"Are these water tanks safe to drain? We'd like to cut these children loose from these wretched machines.." Col. Alonso said
"Yes..the water is completely harmless and the blood has no infectious disease of any kind.." Dr. Emma said
"Alright..please drain the capsule doctor.."
"As you wish.."
(Dr. Emma now started to input some codes into each console of the water tanks where the kids died)
"Are you sure the blood is safe? It killed these kids right?" Naomi asked
"Yes..I've taken countless samples from the kids and nothing has happened to me.."
"What kind of blood is it anyways?" Klara asked
"I'm afraid that is outside my field of expertise..only Dr. Oliver can answer that question..maybe try their files as well.."
"Shun look for any kind of data regarding the blood they are using.."
"Roger!"
(While Dr. Emma was working on the water tanks Gero and the rest now approached the beaten up Dr. Oliver for some questions)
"You heard us..what kind of blood are you injecting into these kids?!" Takashi shouted
"Do I have permission to speak now?" Oliver said
(Gero then gave an order to Kaito and he suddenly brought out his knife and stabbed Dr. Oliver on his leg making him scream in pain)
"AAAAGGGGHHHH! DAMN YOU!"
"We have all night to do this Dr. Oliver.."
"Gero-sama! I found nothing of that sort up here in their main computer!" Shun said over the speakers
"Copy that..looks like we're just going to have to beat the answers out of you doctor.."
(Gero then saw that Dr. Oliver was staring at him with a confused expression)
"What the hell are you looking at?" Ono asked
"Y-Your name is Gero?" Dr. Oliver asked
"So what if it is?"
"Nishizumi? Nishizumi Gero?" again the doctor asked
"How the hell do you know that name!?" Tsuneo asked
(Suddenly Dr. Oliver started to laugh hysterically out loud. It was an evil and creepy laugh and it disgusted everyone in the room)
"HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHAHA HA HA HAHAHAHA HAHAHA!
"What's so funny?! Haa?!" Kal shouted
"He's gone crazy.." Sgt. Sakurai said
"You asked me what the artificial blood is made of right?"
"Just tell us!"
"The answer is already in front of you..more accurately on your left hand.." Dr. Oliver pointed
(At first Gero didn't know what the scientist meant until he looked at his left hand and saw the wound that Kin gave him earlier. He saw that it was still bleeding and at that moment he realized what Oliver was talking about)
"Do you get it now? Oh great heir of the Nishizumi Family?" Oliver asked
"My-"
"That's right! The artificial blood that killed all these kids was made from none other than your Sacred Blood!"
(Gero was thrown into darkness once more after hearing that his blood, the very blood flowing inside his veins killed the children he failed to save)
"He's lying! Don't listen to him Taichou!" Kal shouted
"How the hell do you know about the Sacred Blood?" Takashi asked
"Pandora has eyes and ears everywhere.."
"Apparently not everywhere..since this facility fell so easily without you all noticing.." Col. Alonso said
"The young master has never been to Germany all his life so how the hell can you get his blood?! I call bullshit on what he's saying!" Sgt. Sakurai shouted
"It's the truth..and he knows it too! Don't you?!"
"I-I don't.."
"Really? Then let me piece everything together for you! Remember very clearly twelve years ago!"
"Twelve years?" Kal asked
"That's right..a bunch of mercenaries attempted to kill Gero-sama!" Lt. Sanada said
"You got only half of it correct..I didn't hire them to kill him..they were hired by me to kidnap your precious young master!"
"W-What..?!" Takashi reacted
"But they fucked up! They ended up almost killing him and what's worse is they let you get away!"
"Then how the hell did you get this blood?!" Kal asked
"He was injured that time right? We had them collect the blood spilt on the ground that day and brought it back to this lab where we artificially enhanced and reproduced it.." Dr. Oliver said
"Just from that little amount of blood you were able to do this?!" Tsuneo asked
"You'd be surprised at how much you can do nowadays with how far technology has become..but we underestimated your Sacred Blood's potency..the DNA we acquired from your blood was different from any other blood that we have encountered. Not to mention those fucking mercenaries took three months before getting it here! We had to send one of our agents to personally collect the blood samples!"
(Lt. Sanada then realized the reason why all of the mercenaries were already dead when they arrived at the boat during Operation Odysseus. Pandora was the one responsible for their deaths by tying up loose ends)
"I see..so you're the people that massacred those mercenaries that tried to kill the young master.." Lt. Sanada said
"What did you mean by his blood is different?" Tsuneo asked
"It was nothing like we've ever seen before..it's like the blood itself had a mind of it's own! It was volatile to the test subjects and it attacked the body's immune system..this resulted in all the things that Emma said..the negative effects..losing intellectual capabilities..then ultimately death.." Dr. Oliver said
"M-My blood did that? To these kids? But how?"
"You still don't get it?! Your blood isn't compatible with any blood that exists on this planet! Your blood is poison to other people!"
(Hearing that really broke something inside of Gero. It made him doubt his whole existence and made him think that maybe he shouldn't have been born at all)
"Why him?! Why his blood?!" Klara shouted
"You're really asking that? By this time you already know what he's capable of right? The heir of the great Japanese Family...the Nishizumis! Their bloodline is well known all over the planet! His actions in this facility proves what I'm saying. He single handedly took down 35 First Generation Augs without problems..and he even managed to take them alive.."
"T-Thirty five.." Kal said
"It took us everything to take down two of them and he took down 35?!" Takashi said in his mind
"Imagine a whole army just like you..strong, smart, obedient and fearless of death? We send them to handle wars and conflicts around the world and we won't have to worry about any of them! They fight and die for the goal of peace! No need to worry about their families finding out their sons or daughters had died in battle because they have no families! No need to worry about any of them ever having PTSD from traumatizing events because they can't feel anything!"
"How can you say these things?! These are children! These are people! Human beings!" Col. Alonso said
"So was my son! And yet they decided to send him to some God forsaken land to fight for someone else's greed! And what did they do after he served his country?! HE SENT HIM HOME IN A FUCKING BOX!" Dr. Oliver shouted
"That doesn't justify your actions here! What you're doing here isn't preventing other people from dying! What you're doing is playing God and these are the results of your twisted ideals!" Lt. Kurt shouted
"Playing God? That's right! Pandora will become the God of this world and rule over it!"
"I've had enough of this guy..get him out of here.." Tsuneo said
"Wait.."
(When they all looked at Gero they saw his expression had worsened and all the light in his eyes were completely gone. Finding out that his blood was the reason that those kids died was too much again for him. Once again he was the reason why lives were lost)
"How many more of these facilities are there?"
"Here in Germany? This is the only one..but in other countries? There are hundreds of facilities like this conducting experiments all over the world.." Oliver said
(They all were shocked and speechless knowing that there are more out there and there are more kids dying from these experiments)
"They're not going to stop until they create the perfect copy of you, Nishizumi Gero.."
"How many kids have you experimented on in this country?"
"I don't keep count.."
"Uhm..there should be a list in their system.." Dr. Emma said
"Shun..what can you tell me?"
"Looking for it now..wait one moment.."
"Nana..how many kids are up there right now?" Gero radioed
"There are approximately 150 or more kids here young master.."
"I see..how's Assam-san?"
"She's ok now..spending time with the kids.."
"That's good..we'll be coming up there soon..we're almost done here.."
"Young master.." Shun radioed
"Have you found the list?"
"Yes sir.."
"How many?"
"In the past 10 years 1000 kids were recorded to have been inside this facility.." Shun said
"A t-thousand..?"
"We saved 150..so the rest is.."
"Gone.." Lt. Kurt said
"If you want to know where the rest of the bodies are you'll find them in there.." Oliver said
(Oliver pointed to a room at the end of the laboratory. When they examined the room it was a high end incinerator that they used to burns the dead bodies of then kids and turned them into ashes)
"What's left of them at least.." Oliver smiled
(Gero snapped at Oliver's comment about the ashes of the dead kids and ran towards him. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Oliver's head and his eyes were filled with rage but Oliver wasn't fazed)
"How does it feel? To kill someone without even touching them?" Oliver asked
"Stop Gero..he's just provoking you..lower the gun.." Ono said
"Remember..I'm not responsible for their deaths..I just placed them inside those glass containers..you killed them..you murdered those kids..with your own blood.."
"Shut the fuck up! Don't listen to him!" Kal shouted
(Gero's hand was shaking as he pointed the gun. He was biting his lips making it bleed as he was constantly falling into an abyss of rage)
"That's right, kill me! Kill me right now and prove to everyone in this room what you truly are! Prove to them that you were born into this world to kill!" Oliver shouted
"Don't do it sir Gero..he's not worth it.." Col. Alonso said
"KILL ME! FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE IN THIS LIFE! BECOME THE TRUE BEING THAT YOU WERE MEANT TO BE! KILL ME!" Oliver shouted
(After a few seconds Gero just stood still in front of Oliver without saying a word. Everyone thought for sure the Gero would shoot but he didn't. He lowered his gun and turned the safety back on. Everyone had a big sigh of relief as they watched Gero turn around and walk away)
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" Oliver shouted
"Colonel..can you make sure that these kids get a proper burial?"
"Of course sir Gero.." Alonso said
"Lt. Kurt..have those other scientists collect all the ashes inside that incinerator..we'll give them a proper burial also..and have your men carry the dead Pandora guards into the incinerator after they collect the ashes.."
"Jawohl..leave no trace?"
"Yeah.."
"COME ON! KILL ME!" Oliver shouted again
"Shun..get your demolition kit ready..we're gonna fucking blow this place off the face of the earth..Kal and Takashi will assist you.."
"Roger!" they answered
"Kaito and Ono please have the vehicles we disabled back at the motorpool ready to be used..we'll use them to transport the kids out of here.."
"Yes young master!"
"You got it!" Ono said
"Klara-san and Naomi-san go recover the D.S.M from the main computer and help out again with the children.."
"Understood!" both of them answered
"Lt. Sanada you take photos and videos of this place for evidence..and Sakurai please go with Dr. Emma and collect whatever blood samples they have left in this facility..after that escort the doctor up the mountain.."
"Yes Gero-sama!" both replied
"What about this guy?" Tsuneo asked
"Do what you want..I don't care.."
"DON'T RUN AWAY! YOU COWARD!" Oliver shouted once more
(Gero then headed out of the laboratory and his team was thankful that he didn't pull the trigger)
"Well you heard your Taichou..get to work!" Tsuneo ordered
"Yes Major!" everyone said
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! DID THE GREAT NISHIZUMI HEIR JUST GET COLD FEET?!"
(Suddenly Tsuneo pulled out his pistol and pointed it on Oliver's head)
"Shut up.." Tsuneo said
*BANG
(The sound of Tsuneo's pistol going off echoed throughout the hill and a bullet made its way inside Oliver's skull and went out the other side)
"That's for Junpei and Touma.."
(Gero now boarded the elevator back up to the surface of Devil's Mountain. As he waited to reach the top his mind was a big mess of questions)
"Somebody...anybody...please tell me just what the hell am I?"
(He no longer knew if he would be able to reach the third and final stage of Sacred Possession. All he could think about was Erika and he just felt his heart ache for not being by her side)
"Please help...what should I do...Erika..."
