-Hachimitsu- [Chairman Office]
July 28th (Friday)
8:50pm
Sitting behind the desk of the chairman's office, Tatsuya was on the phone with an unknown person…
"Yes, everything went according to plan. I killed that brat Matsuri and his friends…and even my own daughter." Tatsuya said with a smirk, not feeling remorse for what he did.
[I see. So has the karakuri body treated you well?] Said the man through the phone.
Tatsuya smiled as he closed his hand into a fist. A dust of dark particles spilled from his grasp. "It has served me quite well. I feel almost invincible with this new body. At first I was a little skeptical about your so-called project, but it proved way more fascinating than I anticipated."
[I'm glad you're finding usage of it. So I assume you will be using this power to further your plans then?]
Tatsuya laid on the back of his chair. "I will. But I may need your help with something. You see, I have successfully captured Hachimitsu and detained their chairman in a secret location, but of course, the secret of Yoshimiya got out and all the students and teachers know all about it."
[Hm. That IS a problem. Let me guess, you'll have all the students and teacher killed on the spot. I can send some firearms if that's what you really need.]
"No need." Tatsuya said with a grin. "I already have the necessary items for the time being, however…I wish for ALL of them to die on the spot. Like helpless rats who can't escape from their cage…you understand what I'm saying now?"
From the other end, the man on the phone chuckled. [So you wish to contain everyone in Hachimitsu to await their ultimate demise. I see now. I must say Tatsuya, I like a man who wants to make sure that the job is done, swift and clean. I like your style.]
"Hahaha…I just want to make sure that everyone is accounted for and have a nice little burial ground for each and everyone of them." Tatsuya said with a malicious grin.
[Very well, consider it done. I'll provide you with what you need for tomorrow night. Expect a delivery via helicopter.]
"You've been of great service, Maximus."
[That's what partners are for. See you on the news.] Maximus said.
*Beep.*
Tatsuya sets his phone down on the desk next to a document folder. Before he could mind his own business.
*Knock. Knock. Knock.*
"Who is it?"
"It is us. Izumi and Homura."
"Come in."
Opening the door, Izumi moves to the side to allow Homura in. Closing the doors behind them. The two approach the desk before stopping.
"Is everyone turned in for the night? No problems?" Tatsuya asked.
Izumi nodded. "Yes. Everyone is in for the night. The camera's are all set around each of every corner of the school. So just in case any of the students, like Ms. Chinatsu would even dare to escape."
Homura groans for a moment. "Geez, that small bitch got some energy for trying to escape. She's been everywhere on the school grounds. The gates, back of the school, front, and well…so many other places."
Tatsuya pondered for a moment but dismissed the issue. "Ah. No worries, besides, she and all the other students won't be much of a concern anyways."
Izumi blinked as she narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"
Tatsuya only released a smile. "As you can see, starting tomorrow, Hachimitsu will be no more. I plan on executing them."
Izumi and Homura exchange baffled looks at each other before looking at Tatsuya. "T-This early, sir?"
"That's right. I want all of those brats and the teachers dead. And I mean…ALL. OF. THEM." He said as his eyes glowed dangerous red.
Homura raised her hands. "I'm curious, how are you going to do that? I mean, do you plan on gunning them down in one spot?"
Tatsuya breathed out some air, calming himself down before answering. "No." A smirk graced his lips. "I have something more in mind."
Homura blinked, not liking where this was going. "U-Um…what do you mean?"
Tatsuya opens his eyes as his smirk did not leave. "I plan on killing them all in one go. I will blow up Hachimitsu."
Izumi narrowed her eyes at the yakuza. Meanwhile, Homura was taken back by the yakuza plan. Blow up Hachimitsu!? That's completely unheard of!? And way too dangerous!
"You plan to blow up, Hachimitsu?" Izumi asked.
"Exactly. As satisfying it would be to just gun them down in one fell swoop, but I don't feel like getting blood all over me. So…I found a more…suitable solution. I will kill all of Hachimitsu in one go. You see, my partner will bring something to cage them all in one spot. With the provided bomb for us to use. Tomorrow night will be their last night of living." Tatsuya said with a laugh sounding rather psychotic.
Izumi bit her lip trying to calm herself down. While also trying to relax Homura. "At what time does the bomb go off?"
"Right, it's set on a timer. So it will be approximately 15 minutes."
"15!?" Homura suddenly blurts out before Izumi nudges her on the side. The brawler shook her head. "Just 15?"
Tatsuya nodded with a smirk. He got up from his seat and walked around the desk before he rested in the front. "Yes. I just love to watch Hachimitsu on its last struggle before everyone kicks the bucket."
Izumi hums to herself as she closes her eyes. "Devious. And despicable. So it's more of giving them one last moment in life before they say goodbye forever…most approvable."
Tatsuya smiled. "I know."
Before Homura could get another question in, she felt her side being nudged again, she looked towards Izumi who sent her firm glare before she looked over at Tatsuya. "Very well Sir Tatsuya. We will trust you with your most ingenious plan."
Tatsuya's smile widened. "Hahaha. All in a day's work…now then, I believe it is time for us to turn in."
"If it's okay with you sir, I and Homura would like to stay here for the moment. Need to make sure that everything is in check."
"Granted." Tatsuya grabs the document from the desk.
Once they were outside of the room, Izumi locked it. The two bow to Tatsuya as he takes his leave.
Lifting their heads, both of them turned around and went in the opposite direction. Once they were a good distance away…
"Asshole…" Homura muttered.
"I must say, not even I was suspecting this turn of event." Izumi said as she pushed her glasses up.
"And he got the nerve to fucking laugh about it," Homura growled as she punched his fist together. "I would've loved to knock his teeth in then we'll see who's laughing."
"Calm down." Izumi said as she glared at her partner.
Homura stomps her foot down as she looks at her partner. "How can I!? That asshole is gonna blow up the fucking school with everyone included!"
Izumi sighs to herself. "I'm aware. But getting angry is not gonna solve anything. Nor is beating Sir Tatsuya senseless is not gonna help the matter." She said, earning a growl from Homura. "In case you've forgotten, now that we've obtained enough information about Tatsuya's plan, we can contact Lady Hayakki."
"You sure about that," Homura said as she crossed her arms under her bosom. "I mean, we still don't know how he's gonna cage everyone here."
"For now, we're just gonna have to wing with it. It may possibly be just some electric fence or something. Nothing too dire."
"Or…" Homura brought up with a raised finger. "What if it's a giant dome?"
Izumi blinks twice as she looks at her partner with a blank look. "What?"
"Think about it! Anyone can escape a fence! Even an electric one! So how about something that is completely impenetrable! A giant fucking dome!" Homura said as she shot her arms out.
"...Homura, have you been watching that ridiculous movie again?"
Homura flinched, feeling offended. "It's not ridiculous! It's funny! Plus, it could happen!"
Izumi sighs to herself with a disappointed look. "Who in the damn right mind would place a dome over the entire school just to trap everyone inside. Plus who would have the money to waste their time on such a ridiculous idea."
Homura puffs her cheeks as she pouts the other way. "Say it's dumb all you want, one of these days it will happen."
"I'll start believing in that as soon as you grow a brain cell. In any case, let us contact Hayakki and share the information."
"Yeah, yeah…" Homura said as she reached for her phone.
Going into her contact list. She picked Hayakki's name and pushed the button. Letting the phone ring a couple of times before someone picked up the phone on the other end.
[Homura?] Hayakki picks up.
"Hey Hayakki, are you doing fine?"
[Yeah. We're all doing good.] Hayakki asked.
"Ah, are Matsuri and the others there as well?"
There was some movement going on the other end of the phone. [Yeah, we're here.] Matsuri spoke.
[Any news on your end?] Hayakki asked.
Homura hands the phone to Izumi, allowing her to speak. "Evening, Lady Hayakki and everyone. We have some news to share with you…about your father's plan."
And so, they relayed the information to Hayakki and the others…
[...I see…] Hayakki sighs through the other end.
[B-But…how come?] Etsuko said as if she was about to cry.
"Because he's a crazy bastard that's why." Homura muttered.
[I can believe that.] Megumi said.
[WHAAAT!? MY BEAUTIFUL MEIKO IS GONNA BE BLOWN UP BY THAT PRICK!] Sousuke shouted.
[Oh back off from the phone will you?] Hayakki said with an annoyed tone.
"It is all true…Sir Tatsuya plans on blowing up the school…" She hears some noises from the other end, but none from Hayakki who remained silent. "Lady Hayakki?"
[I'm fine…it's just…I knew my father was insane, but I never would have thought that he would be this insane to kill everyone…then again…I can't say I'm surprised either way.]
There was a moment of silence between the three. Before a certain brawler broke the silence…
"So hey, do you think Tatsuya is gonna use a giant dome?"
"..." Complete silence.
Izumi's face palmed herself with a groan.
[Um…what?] Hayakki asked.
"A giant ass dome! Izumi thought it was stupid and a waste of time and money! But I think it's possible! Think about it, he wants to trap everyone right?"
A familiar peppy voice came through the phone. [Oh! I see! Because a dome is completely impenetrable!]
Homura smiled at Etsuko's response. "I know right! It's so obvious!" She grins at Izumi who was glaring at her. "See, even Etsuko understands it."
"That is because she shares the same brain cell as you." Izumi said.
[Yeeeaaaah…I don't believe it.] Hayakki said with a non-convinced tone. [Seriously, stop watching that movie.]
Homura made a low growl as she just huffed the other way. "I'm afraid you made her mad a little."
[She'll be fine. Anyways, thank you for relaying the information. I had a feeling he would go that far. So…here is what I want you guys to do…]
By this moment, Homura is listening in with Izumi, listening to Hayakki's plan…
-Hachimitsu-
July 29th (Saturday)
[Present]
Izumi and Homura stood where they were, watching the reactions of Mari and the others once the news dropped on them of what was going to happen to Hachimitsu. The boys were practically shaking in their shoes, Mari held her hand against her mouth with her brows furrowed. Meiko and Hana were sweating with their eyes widened, nearly blowing out of their sockets. Kate and her friends all held the same horrid reactions. Even Anzu and the girls were worried about their predicament.
Mari looks back at the phone to where Hayakki was still on. "I-Is this true?"
Hayakki nodded her head. [From what I gathered, yes…my father will blow up Hachimitsu while killing all of you in the process.]
Gakuto was the first to break the silence. "T-THIS IS RIDICULOUS! TYRANNY! NO! NOT JUST TYRANNY BUT MORE OF AN ATTEMPTED TERRORIST ACT!"
"You gotta be shitting me…we're all gonna die in an explosion…b-by that bastard?" Shingo said as stomps his foot on the ground. "That fucking shithead!"
"We're all gonna die…we're all *cough* gonna die!" Jo said with a horrid tone.
Andre was whimpering in fear, not wanting to die by the hands of the immortal wolf by a bomb of all death.
"Guys! Come on, settle down!" Kiyoshi tries to calm down his friends, but only makes things unintentionally worse.
Shingo grabs his collar. "CALM DOWN!? HOW THE HELL ARE WE-"
He only stopped when Hana grabbed his wrist. Giving him a nasty glare. "Will you shut up! Freaking out over this is not gonna help our situation at all!"
"Hana is right." Kate said as she ran her hand through her hair. Looking at the group with a determined look. "We're not gonna die if we put our heads together."
[That's right.] Hayakki spoke through the phone. Meiko showing her face to the group. [We just need to evacuate the school from the campus before my father's business partner could do any real harm…]
Chiyo blinks with a short gasp as she looks back at her friends who were already paying attention to the yakuza daughter.
"Huh? Really? S-So we're not gonna die? You're not lying are you?" Shingo asked with a raised brow.
Hayakki rolled her eyes. [Course not! But in order to keep you guys safe, I need you to follow my instructions, okay.]
"W-Wait!"
Chiyo's voice broke through, gathering all of their attention. Feeling a little overwhelmed by the stares, she shook her head before clenching her hands. "W-We can't let Tatsuya destroy the school."
Mari blinked. "Chiyo…"
"Chiyo-dono, what do you mean?"
Chiyo blinked and stood up as she looked at the group. "What I mean is…we can't…we can't let him destroy Hachimitsu…I'm staying."
All of them blinked at the young Kurihara girl.
Izumi glared at the young girl. "Hold on…you're telling all of us that you'll remain here and protect the school?"
Chiyo didn't say anything but nodded.
"Chiyo! What are you saying!? You'll die if you get caught up in the blast!" Mayumi said as she took her friend by the shoulders as she looked at her with a panic expression.
"Mayumi is right, Chiyo! This is crazy!" Anzu said.
"C-Chiyo-dono, speak some senses at the very least. Y-Your's truly understand why you would want to go and do some heroic deed, but please reconsider the risk factors at play here!" Gakuto said, hoping to talk some sense into the young girl.
"The nerd is right," Homura said, ignoring the shocked expression from the glasses-wearing boy. "Your school is about to be blown to smithereens with everyone inside. Including you." She said as she pointed at the girl. "You really want to throw your life away for some school."
Chiyo growled a little. "It's not just SOME school! It's my father's school! And I have many fond memories of this school!"
Izumi pushed her glasses up. "It could always be rebuild-"
"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Chiyo yelled, gaining a surprise look from the group. Chiyo realized her tone of voice. Stepping back a little before speaking. "I…I won't…I won't let him destroy this school. This is my father's school…not just his…my sister…Meiko-chan…Hana-chan…this is everyone's school."
They remained silent. Listening to her words.
"I won't stand by and watch Tatsuya ruin this school…I just won't…so…I'm going to stay and protect this school."
The students all remained silent on their end. Unsure of what to say about Chiyo's words. From just looking at her, it seems almost true that she wants to stay behind and protect the school. But how is one girl gonna do that? Especially how to get rid of a bomb?
Hana ruffled her own hair as she looked at Chiyo. "Chiyo-chan…I know where you're coming from but…think about it. This is a bomb and some crazy yakuza we're dealing with here. You really want to go up against odds like that?"
"If it means protecting the one place I hold dear to then yes. Also…my father loves this school…and I will do anything to protect it."
Hana sighs to herself. "Well…you're not doing it alone."
"Huh?"
The other expressions were just as perplexing as Chiyo's. Everyone looked at Hana who had a faint blush on her cheeks. "Yeah…I said it. I'll help Chiyo-chan."
"H-Hana!?" Meiko said. "Are you sure about this!?"
"Not sure myself either…but from what Chiyo said…yeah. I'm all ready to fight back. I mean, think about it like this," Hana turned to face the group. "That bastard Tatsuya wants to fight dirty, kill our friends and family and reign supreme in his sick little world. And all of this started because of a slip up on his end with just one student. Well, I say fuck him. Let that bastard try and destroy this school. I'm done being pushed around by those fuckers!"
Hana growled under her breath with a faint blush. "Fuck, just saying that makes me mad. I'm gonna join Chiyo-chan."
"Then I shall as well." Meiko turned to speak. "That bastard…has gotten way one way too many times. He even tried to kill Matsuri…this time…for the sake of the students and everyone here…I will fight back and protect this school."
Mari hums to herself with a mused thought. She then looks over to the girls. "And you girls?"
Anzu looked towards the others who nodded. "Yeah. We'll fight back."
"Huh!? Anzu!?" Shingo said.
"Cake-san…y-you too?" Jo asked the girl.
"Yes. Tatsuya will not get away with this anymore." Satou said.
"I-I'll join too." Mayumi said.
Izumi looks towards Kate and the others. "And you girls?"
Kate bit her lips. Obviously trembling, but shook her head. She looks over towards her friends who all nodded. "We'll fight too."
Homura whistles. "This isn't something you see everyday. Students fighting to save their school. Usually I thought they would love to watch school get destroyed. But turns out these guys are an exception."
Izumi mused on the thoughts before looking at the boys. "And you boys, you remained rather quiet for a while now…"
The boys were all trembling in fear. Kiyoshi, being in front, wanted to back away a little, but the look on the girl's face shows that they are going nowhere despite the danger. Kiyoshi clenched his fist as he tried to steel his nerves.
"Come on Kiyoshi…from the amount of dangers you encountered, endured and fought tooth and nail with…this shouldn't be a problem!"
"Guys…" Kiyoshi said to gather their attention. "We got to…we will save Hachimitsu!"
"HUH!?" All the boys exclaimed.
"K-Kiyoshi-dono!?"
"Not another word Gakuto!" Kiyoshi yelled. "Think about the many obstacles we've encountered over the years. We've survived prison, an angry mob of female students, how I almost met death with an orger."
From that sentence alone, Hana narrowed at the boy. "Wait…was he referring to me?"
"We even fought Andre when he went wild," The boys recollect the memories he placed. All of those events that happened at this school and they survived them all. "Sure, this is a yakuza we're dealing with here…but that won't change anything…I will stand and protect this school from some low-rates thugs."
"Kiyoshi-dono…" Gakuto said with a breathless tone. Looking at Kiyoshi who was standing tall. "You say that but…" He then points to Kiyoshi's trembling bottom half. "WHY DO YOU TREMBLE!?"
"I-I'm t-t-trembling b-because I-I-I'm cold!"
"Bullshit." Jo said.
"Yeah man, it's hot out here." Shingo said.
The girls just look onward with deadpan expressions. Already fully knowing that Kiyoshi was just putting on a brave face.
"L-Look! Ignore the trembling! The point is that I'm joining the fight!"
Shingo scratched his head. "Fuck it, I'm in."
"Count *cough* me too." Jo said.
"I'm in!" Andre said.
"Then your's truly shall fight as well!" Gakuto said.
Mari and Kate looked at each other before looking at Hayakki who remained silent. "Hayakki. There may be a change of plan in your daring rescue mission. We will stand ground and protect the school."
Hayakki blinks with an unbothered face before closing her eyes. [So that's how it will be, huh? All of you guys will be standing ground and fighting for the school…I see.]
"Lady Hayakki?" Izumi asked in concern.
Hayakki lets out an exaggerated sigh. [Honestly, all of you are crazy as hell…but I can understand your desire…alright then.]
"Huh? We're actually doing this?" Homura asked.
"It seems so." Izumi said as she closed her eyes.
[BING. BONG. BONG.]
[All students! Recess break is over. Please report back to your work station. I repeat, recess break is over. Please go back to your work station.]
Hana sighs to herself. "Great…look like it's back to the grinder."
Mari looks at the Hayakki. "We have to go. But I do have a question to ask…when do we strike?"
Hayakki furrowed her brow. [Tonight.]
"Tonight? So soon?" Meiko asked.
[My father plans on killing everyone tonight, right? So it's best we take care of this now then later. According to Izumi, my father will have a bomb provided to him. If I can get the documents…maybe I can get the details on the bomb too. We'll find a way to communicate from there.]
"And you?" Kate asked.
[I have my own side to take care of. Listen, you better go before you're caught.] She turned her head the other way. [Oi, Matsuri, come say goodbye to your girlfriend for now.]
Matsuri scrambled to the phone, grabbing it as he looked at Meiko who looked back at him. [Be safe Meiko…I'll be back to you soon.]
"...I know…." Meiko said as she held the phone close to her breasts. "I know you will come back safe in my arms soon…"
-Hachimitsu- [Outside]
1:05pm
Kiyoshi and the boys were being led by a member of Tatsuya's gang. Walking outside, past by a group of students who were being pushed, shoved and ordered around by other gang members. All the boys could do were watch in concern, but deep down knew what must be done tonight.
"Hey," Shingo whispered to Kiyoshi. "I know we agreed to stay behind and deal with the bomb threat and all but…how are we gonna do that exactly…"
Kiyoshi could only give a shrug in response. "Hell if I know…"
"Whaaat~! I only joined because everyone else was going to stay behind and fight. Plus, Anzu was looking my way, I didn't want to make myself look like a loser…"
"Why are you even worried about how you look cool? Look, we agreed to do this and protect the school. We're just gonna have to wing it when the time comes."
Shingo could only groan in response.
The group approached the tools shed where a familiar mohawk fella was waiting with his cocky. "Well, it's about fucking time you lot got here. And here I was getting bored." Jack said.
The boys could only groan in response.
"Not this asshole, again."
Jack pushes himself off the wall of the small building and looks at the group. "Listen up you fuckers, here's what gonna happen. I want all of you to empty out this shed."
The boys could only look between Jack and the storage building with a baffled expression. "Huh?"
"You heard me! Move every single piece of junk equipment in this shed, store them in these crates here and move the crates to the back of the school."
Kiyoshi blinked. "Umm…t-that's it."
Jack only groaned in response as he rolled his eyes. "What are you, dumbasses here? Yes!"
"Indeed? We only thought that there was going to be a catch here at the most…"
"No. Just this. Now hurry it up! The boss wants this done by tonight."
This caught their attention. Tonight? As in THIS day at night, right? The same time where they are supposed to operate their mission to save Hachimitsu.
"U-Um…t-tonight?" Andre dreaded.
Jack raised his brow at the boy. "What's the matter fatass, you got something to do tonight?"
"Shit! We can't let him know! Otherwise everything will come to a halt." Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Before he could say anything, Gakuto beat him to the punch. "Ah! Andre-dono was just thinking that he was gonna miss dinner today! I-I mean, given the task at hand and all…"
"Ha! That's it? Relax fatass, you'll get your dinner alright." He said with a grin. "It will be your last anyways…"
"Huh?" Jo asked.
"Nothing, just found a very funny image in my head. Now then, if we're done chatting with each other…GET TO WORK!" He yelled.
Causing the boys to jump a little in the air before stiffening their bodies. "YES SIR!"
Jack clicks his tongue as he leaves, not before looking at one of his colleagues. "Make sure those brats do their part. I have more pressing matters to deal with…"
"Y-Yes sir!"
On that note, Jack left. He looks over his shoulders, he looks at the boys who were just about to get to work. A malicious grin graced his lips. "Hehehe…you better be saying your prayers. Because this will be your last…"
-Hachimitsu- [Bathroom]
6:30pm
"UGH! THESE FUCKING PIGS DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PERSONAL HYGIENES AT ALL!" Hana yelled.
Within the bathrooms of the prison block. Mari, Kate, Meiko, Hana, Mitsuko and Risa were all cleaning the bathroom toilets and floor.
With Hana reaching her limit. "Fucking assholes, I'm so done with them."
"Calm down." Risa said. "They'll get what's coming to them…"
"We better," Kate said as she was pinching her nose closed while cleaning the outer toilet with a toothbrush. "Because this is just disgusting."
As they were ranting about their workload, Mari was thinking to herself about the plan to counter Tatsuya's attacks. "I'm well aware that Hayakki has a plan up her sleeves…but is it truly enough to counter him…"
"Mari…" She hears Meiko whispering to her. "I know we agreed to save the school and I'm still fully behind the plan but…how do we go about with the bomb? Surely none of us knows how to deactivate the bomb, nor do we know where it's gonna be placed upon location wise…"
"I know. But we committed to helping. The best we can do is to just go with the plan. And besides…" Mari sighs to herself. "There's no helping with changing my sister's mind…once she is fully committed to something, there will be no stopping her. Plus, she does treasure this school as much as father. So the best we can do is lend our support however we can."
"I understand," Meiko nodded, not without a few more worries. "But…what about the other students and teachers…they will surely get caught up in the blast."
Mari grimaced at the thought. But with them being this deep into the phase. They have no other options at this point. "We'll just have to believe in ourselves to achieve this fight against Tatsuya."
"...b-based on what…"
"...hope." Mari simply said as she looked at her friend with an uncertain expression. "That is all we got at this point."
-Somewhere In the Mountain Region-
8:00pm
In the small cottage house. The group were all seated around in the front living room. Matsuri sat next to his family and Miyuki. Etsuko, Tsubaki and Yukina were sitting near the front where Hayakki was seated. Megumi laid her back against the wall with Penny next to her. Sousuke and his friends were seated by the table watching Hayakki for any plans she got.
Hayakki sat in front of everyone, calming herself down before speaking with a demanding voice. "Okay, is everyone ready?"
No words spoken. Just them nodding their heads in agreement.
"Okay, here's the plan everyone. We don't have enough time left so we need to make this quick. According to Izumi, father will be executing everyone at Hachimitsu tonight with a bomb. So we need to make this quick."
"YEAH! FOR THE HOT BABES AND WOMEN OF HACHIMITSU!" Sousuke yelled with his friends raising their fist in the air with a proud scream.
Of course, everyone just looks at them with blank expressions (aside from Penny who was giggling to herself).
"These guys…" Etsuko said with a blank tone.
Hayakki clears her throat. "I appreciate the enthusiasm and all boys but…would you mind zipping your mouth after I'm done." She threatened with a glare.
The boys immediately cowered in fear. "S-Sorry."
"Thank you. Now then, here's what we're gonna do. First, Junichi will be grabbing my father's attention away from the school and the mansion. Once the old fossil grabs his attention. I will be taking Matsuri, Sousuke and his dumb friends to the mansion."
Ayame raised a brow as she raised her hand. "What's so important about the manor?"
"According to Izumi and Homura. My father often leaves his documents in his office. That document has every bit of information regarding his plan on killing everyone at Hachimitsu and his prison camp document should be there as well. We can use those as solid evidence against him. Plus, I think it has details on the bomb itself. I'll use that information to feed back to Mari and the others to disable the bomb."
"Oh yeah," Kenchiro said. "Sounds easy enough."
Hayakki could only bite her lips. "I wish it was. My mansion has high security. Which means it is hard to get in. But luckily, there's a power supply box hidden outside of the mansion. Sousuke, that's where you and your friends come in."
"Huh?"
"You will be cutting off the power to the mansion. Once that's done, Matsuri and I will be able to get inside the mansion from there," She said before looking at the three who were looking amongst each other. "Is there a problem?"
The three nodded at each other with determined expression. "We'll do it!"
Hayakki nodded her head. "Right, now then-"
"Hey wait a minute!" Etsuko stops her before she can continue. She glares at Hayakki with a pout. "How come you get Matsuri all to yourself! You're not gonna do anything bad to him, are you!?"
Hayakki rolled her eyes. "Why on earth would I even dare think of something like that given the situation we are in, right now?"
Tsubaki glares at her as she crosses her arms under her breast. "Then where are we in the picture?"
"I was getting to that if you let me finish." Hayakki said with a glare. "As I was saying, while Matsuri and I handle that. I have a special task for you four and Penny will be the ringleader."
Etsuko and the others blinks as they look back at Penny who waved her hand with a smile.
"You all will be helping that old fossil with the prison riot."
This caught them by surprise. "Huh? Really?" Etsuko asked.
"You wish for us to partake in a prison riot?" Yukina said with a pondering thought.
"More or less. Your real goal is to bring out any innocent victims who are willing to help out with the plan on exposing Tatsuya. With their help, we can have a much higher advantage."
"Oh I see…rather smart thinking." Yukina said.
"Ooh~! Does this mean I can go around with a gun and shoot up a storm like some dumb person! Cool!" Etsuko said with sparkles in her eye.
Hayakki grimaced at the thought. "U-Um…no. I'm demoting you to handle a paintball gun instead."
"Aw what!?"
Tsubaki looks at Etsuko with a blank stare. "Trust me, with you behind a gun, you could possibly shoot one of us by accident."
Etsuko pouted as she glared at Tsubaki. "NO I WON'T!"
"Well too bad. You're getting a paintball gun and that's it." Hayakki said. "Right then, all while we're doing this. Mari and the others will be saving Hachimitsu from the bomb threat."
"Didn't Izumi say that Tatsuya's business partner will be handled by capturing them all in a cage or…whatever it is…" Miyuki asked.
Hayakki could only shake her head. "I don't know about that yet. Which is the reason why I chose to be the one to go to the manor. I think my father has a document about the plan. Once I'm over there, well…hopefully there's something there."
The group nods in response.
"Good, so with all that said. Is everyone clear on the plan?"
Ayame raises her hand once more. "Hey, if it's alright, can I partake with Penny's group?"
Matsuri looks at his sister with a widened expression. "Really?"
"Yeah really. I'm not gonna sit back and watch you do all the heavy lifting. Besides, this bastard got away with one way too many crimes and got Yoshimiya killed. So I think it's fair that I give him a little welcome present."
Kenchiro looked at his wife who held a worried expression on her face. He then looks towards Hayakki. "I will be aiding them as well."
"Kenchiro…" Akira muttered.
The husband rested his hand on her shoulders. Giving her a comforting expression. "I'll be fine dear. Besides, I'm only doing this to make sure Ayame is safe and doesn't do anything reckless."
"Seriously," Ayame said with a blank stare. "I'm not a kid."
"No. But sometimes you go too far." Kenchiro countered, causing Ayame to puff her cheeks in the other direction. "So yes, I will be providing cover."
Akari sighs to herself as she runs her hand through her hair. Only to look at her husband with a worried expression. "Please be safe. And that goes to you two as well." She pointed at Matsuri and Ayame.
Both of them nodded in response.
"Right then, is everyone clear on the plan now?" Hayakki asked, grabbing their attention.
"We're all set. We're ready to do this, Hayakki." Matsuri said with a determined look.
"Oh wait a minute." Penny asked. "I don't think I ever asked this but…how are we getting to the prison?"
Hayakki only smiled in response. "I called in a favor. Don't worry about the details. You'll see soon enough. Okay everyone, for Yoshimiya…for Hachimitsu and Nemira…let's end this."
"RIGHT!"
-Tatsuya Prison Camp- [Front Entrance]
8:30pm
Standing guard in front of the gate entrance towards the prison. Two guards stood there on both sides with one looking like he was about to fall asleep. Opening his mouth wide open, he shuts it with a groan.
"Ugh…why do we have to do this? I mean, it's not like anyone is gonna escape out of here." Said one of the guards.
His partner looks back at him with an equally tired expression. "We don't have a choice…besides if we don't then Tatsuya is sure to shoot us on the spot."
"I just wanna go home and play games man. This is boring as hell. It's not like anything happens during our watch at the prison. Aside from a few drunks making their way here, they only appear so often. Still wondering how the hell they got here, but other than that, nothing else."
"Stop your complaining, it's not gonna make this work any better if you just keep bitching about it," He groans to himself. "But yeah, I do have to agree, this is really boring. Nothing much aside from the cricket sounds and other animals we find out here in the woods."
"Just be glad we didn't run into any bears." His tired partner shivered. "I don't ever want to think of running into those animals."
"Don't think about it." He warned him.
The two return to guarding their post…only to hear something going on up ahead in the woods. They hear a…truck engine sound?
"Is that a truck I hear?" The tired partner asked.
His other partner listened closely. He can hear a familiar grinding engine noise making its way through the woods. It sounded like it was making its way in their direction. He looked up ahead, seeing headlights making it way up until it turned the corner. They were right. It was a truck…a rather big one at that.
"Hey…were we expecting any deliveries today?" The serious partner asked.
His tired partner pondered for a moment before answering. "As far as I'm aware of…no."
The serious guard looks up ahead with his brows furrowed. The truck was coming closer to them. Seeing how they were not gunning it or aiming to ram into them, he took a step forward to see what the problem was. He approaches the side to where the driver seat was. He looked up at the window, peering through the windshield was a man with short ash gray hair wearing a white collar shirt with black suspender.
He narrowed his eyes. "Hey…isn't that Obushi?"
Before he could order him, Obushi rolled down the window and looked at the guard with an annoyed glare. "What? You're gonna interrogate me or something?"
The serious guard held his weapon. "That depends, you gonna cause trouble?"
Obushi rolled his eyes. "Listen up, this was a direct order from Mr. Importantly, he ordered some deliveries to the prison camp, alright? Now you're gonna let me in or not?"
The serious guard held his weapon up. "Oh yeah, Kojiro ordered this. What is it?"
"Some more blankets, food, pillows, all the general stuff. Look man, I'm just doing my job. Can I go now?" Obushi said with an impatient tone.
The serious guard furrowed his brow. "Hold on, let me go ahead and check in the back just to see if you're telling the truth."
Obushi rolled his eyes. "Fine. Just hurry up."
"Oi! Come help me here!" The serious guard spoke to the tired one.
Without a word, he waltz over to his partner and the two walks over to the back of the truck. Grabbing the handle, they both swung it wide open. The serious guard shines the flashlight in the back and spots several crates stacked in the back.
"Guess he was telling the truth…" Said the tired guard.
"But I never got any notice about the delivery though…" The serious guard was not at all convinced.
The tired guard could care less as he just released a yawn. "Maybe he forgot…"
"Yeah, that could be a common issue…alright fine." He said as he closed the door to the back of the truck. Walking over to the driver. He looks up at the man. "Alright, go right ahead."
"About time." Obushi said with an impatient tone. "Now open the damn gate."
"Yeah, yeah…"
The two guards walk over to the gate. Pressing the button, the gate opens up allowing the man to enter inside. Starting up the truck once more, he drives inside the camp. As soon as the truck was inside, the two guards closed the gate and went back to their position.
Inside the prison, Obushi drives slowly through the camp. He looks between multiple buildings that stood structured. Driving right down the lane, he approaches the side where the double doors are at. Having two other guards at the front.
Obushi rolled his eyes. "You think he has enough guards crawling around this place."
He stops the truck. Kicking the door open, he approaches the two guards. "Evening, boys."
He greeted the first guard who just grunted. "What's all this?"
"The hell it looks like, delivery." Obushi said, waving his arms.
The guard looks at the truck with his eyes squinted before looking at the man. "I don't recall any delivery…"
"Oh we go," Obushi said as he crossed his arms. "Look here shithead. This was an order from Kojiro. He ordered more blankets, pillows and ALL the good stuff."
The guard felt unconvinced.
Obushi already knew he wasn't gonna get anywhere with this man. "You know what, since I'm dealing with stubborn ass people here. How about you check the crates in the back and confirm yourself."
"I think I will. But YOU'RE coming with me…" The guard said as he pointed his gun at him.
Obushi was unfazed as he looked at the man with an annoyed look. "Fine."
Obushi and the two guards walk over to the back. Poking his gun at Obushi back, the man opens the two large doors. Revealing the good number of crates inside. The first guard was suspicious of the crates that were inside. Squinting his eyes, he looked towards the second guard.
The guard looks over towards Obushi. "Mind if we check it out."
Obushi looked towards the man with a squinted look. "Why? I already told ya what's inside."
"I know. But I want to double check, just in case." Said the guard.
Obushi growled under his breath before sighing to himself. "Fine…you want to check it out, knock yourself out. Oh hey…um…make sure to check the first box right there. Crowbar is hanging on the wall." He pointed to the box that was placed up front.
The guard blinked with a raised brow before looking at the disgruntled man. "Why?"
"Because it's right there, no hurry up. I'm gonna miss my favorite show."
The guard looks back at the crate before leaning near his colleague. "Keep an eye on this bastard. I'm going in."
The guard climbs onto the back of the truck and walks up to the crate. Putting his gun down next to the crate. He leans over to reach out for the crowbar and prepares himself. With enough effort, he stabs right under the lid and rips it right off. He looks inside…and what he saw truly baffled him.
Sitting there completely still with her knees hugged to her chest. Looking up at the man who just stared down with a baffled expression. Etsuko stared at him before smiling.
"The hell…"
"HI~! AND GOODBYE~!"
"Huh-!"
But didn't have time to answer when Etsuko launched herself at him. He lets out a scream.
-Junichi Cell-
Junichi rested his back against the wall on top of his bed. The old man hums to himself peacefully quietly. Pondering to himself…
"How long has it been Tatsuya…many years ago, you took everything from me…my family…my friends…my life. You took it all…now guess what…I'm gonna take the one thing you value…"
He hears some noise going on outside the room. His eyes looked towards the door.
"Hey! What's going on!? Wh-GAH!"
*Thud!*
"Damn it! Quick! Shoot them!"
*Poof!*
Junichi hears what sounds like an explosion. Small stream of smoke seeped through the door. Raising his brow, he looks up at the door once more.
"The fuck is this!?"
"I can't see-GAH!"
*Thud!*
After a while, he hears nothing going on from the other end of the door. He blinks twice, listening to what is going on. He didn't have time to respond or act when he heard the door opening. Rushing through the door, a familiar green hair woman came through.
"JUNICHI!" Penny cried tears of joy!
The old man managed a smile. He got up from the bed and was immediately met with Penny coming in for a hug. The woman had her face buried deep within Junichi's chest. Crying her heart out for the man.
"Junichi! I-I *hic* I thought you were dead for sure!" She cried.
"Haha, a little early don't you think. It's not like I haven't done anything yet for me to kick the bucket…" He joked.
Penny tightened her embrace around the old man. "J-Junichi…"
The old man sighs as he gently strokes her head. "Good to see you as well, Penny…looks like Little Missy's plan worked."
"It did…"
He enjoyed a moment of his time with Penny, only to feel someone else hugging his leg. He looks down to spot Etsuko joining the hug as well. "Um…who's this little girl?"
"Oh!" Penny releases herself from Junichi's hug before addressing the small girl. "This is my friend, Etsuko! She and the others are here to help!"
Etsuko bounces away from him before smiling. "HELLO! My name is Etsuko Kamishoya!"
"Heh…aren't you a bundle of energy." He grins before looking at Penny. "Hold on, you said 'others' what do you mean?"
"Yo!"
Junichi's question was answered when he found the others entering the room. Tsubaki and Ayame resting their backs against the wall. Yukina, Megumi and Kenchiro entered the room. Junichi looks at the group with some of them being fully armed with guns.
"This is your army?" Junichi asked Penny.
The woman puffed her cheeks. "Hey! We got here didn't we!? And besides, they're plenty capable!"
"Well," Kenchiro scratched the back of his head. "More of Yukina, Tsubaki and Ayame have been doing most of the fighting."
Ayame releases a grin. "I was just venting out my frustration on them."
Yukina looks at the old man with a pondering thought. "Hmm…you're Junichi, right?"
"That's right. You see something you don't like aside from the wrinkles." Junichi jokes.
"No. From what I heard you're a yakuza, right?" Yukina said as she looked at the man more closely. "I mean, I can see how you're a yakuza, but the aura seems rather different from Tatsuya…"
"Hah! I'll take that as a compliment!" Junichi laughs before his expression is wiped off. "But yeah, I may be a yakuza, but I'm nowhere near the level he stooped down towards."
Etsuko tilted her head. "Penny mentioned that you follow the old ways of yakuza, is that true?"
"Heh, you got it. But old fossils like me are starting to fade out. These bastards, they're just taking advantage of this and are turning themselves into evil organizations…but we'll be here for a while if I have you sit here and listen to me rambling."
"Oi! Oi!" They hear a voice coming towards the room. Rushing towards the door, Obushi rushes inside. "What's taking you so long! We gotta-"
He stops when he finds Junichi with a baffled expression. However, Obushi's expression shows to be more than just a regular shock. "HOLY SHIT! I KNOW YOU! YOU'RE JUNICHI!"
"Ah…I think I know you…you're…that one loud guy who runs Orbit…Obushi, right?"
Penny looked towards Junichi with a surprised gasp. "Huh!? You know him, Junichi!"
*Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaa!*
They hear a loud siren going off through the prison.
[INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! MULTIPLE HOSTILE INTRUDER HAVE ENTERED THE FACILITY! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HANDLE WITH THE INTRUDER IMMEDIATELY!]
"Uh oh." Etsuko simply said with a worried look.
"Fuck! They realize we're here!" Ayame said.
While the situation was bad indeed. However, Junichi released a smile. "I wouldn't say that…this is exactly what we need."
"Huh?" Obushi asked. "Oh that's right. Your plan."
"Heh, hope you guys are prepared, this is gonna be one helluva party."
"Oh that's right! Where are Hinata and Yuto?" Obushi asked.
"They're in another jail cell, but don't worry. They're safe. But they'll be joining the party soon."
"THEY WENT THIS WAY!" They hear a crowd of guards coming their way.
"They're coming!" Kenchiro said.
Junichi stretched his arms out, right as he heard a satisfying crack on both ends. "Alright, been a while since I've been in an all-out brawl. You guys, make your way to the control room. It's right above the main lobby. It releases ALL of the prisoners."
"B-But what about you?" Penny asked.
"..." He had a small grin on his lips. "Just gonna make a quick phone call."
Obushi looks between Penny (who holds a worried expression on her face) and towards Junichi. Sighing to himself, he raised his gun. "I'll provide back up assistance for this old fossil. In the meantime, you guys go and release the prisoners."
The group looked at each other as they nodded before looking at Junichi. "Be careful."
"I will. You too." He said as he approached the door. "Let's end this bastard career."
-Tatsuya Prison- Lobby Hall
Penny led the group down the hall. With multiple guards coming their way. Yukina rushes forward. With a barrage of bullets shooting towards her, she jumps on the wall. Using her foot as she jumps from wall to wall before leaping in the air and drives her knee onto the guard's right cheek. Smacking him against the wall.
She lands on her knee on the ground, already aiming for the next guard. Using both her hands to support herself, she kicks the weapon out of the man's hand. She then grabs hold of the guard vest and pulls him forward, using her forehead to bonk him square in the face.
Tsubaki rushes forward as she grabs the weapon that Yukina kicked out of the guard's hand and grabs hold of it. Aiming it at the guards who all flinched in fear from her enraged face.
"YOU WANNA DIE FUCKERS! BRING IT!" Tsubaki yelled.
"FUCK THIS MAN! RUN!" One of the guards was about to run.
However, before he was about to run, one of his colleagues grabbed him by the shoulder and pushed his face up to his. "GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF MAN! THEY'RE JUST BRATS! AND WE HAVE MORE GUNS THAN THEM!"
With that said, he raised his gun in the air and aimed at the group. The other follows suit. "WE'RE AIN'T LETTING SOME DUMB BRATS GET THE BEST OF US!"
Penny stops her group from approaching any forward as they found themselves in an impasse with the guards. With Tsubaki still holding the gun and pointing at the group, Yukina stood up from the ground and looked at the guards. "Oh my, you're rather bold for calling us brats. But don't think we're helpless either."
"Hah! What the hell a bunch of brats like you are gonna do to us!"
Yukina and Tsubaki looked towards each other before looking at the guard. "You may have an army of skilled thugs…but we have an Etsuko."
"...what?"
On cue, Etsuko leaps in the air with her arms spread out. The guards looked up in the air with baffled expressions. Before they could respond, Etsuko's smile suddenly turns into an evil grin as she reaches into her bag and spreads small gray balls in the air. The guards could only look onward with baffled expressions.
"What the-"
*POOF!*
The hallway was engulfed into a pool of smoke. Blinding the guards' visions.
"GAAAAH!"
"I CAN'T SEE!"
"JUST SHOOT FOR-ACK!"
*THWACK!* *THUD!*
"WHAT THE-"
*CRUNCH!* *THUD!*
He was met with a very hardened punch to the face.
Taking care of the guards, the group makes it to the lobby and finds the control room, which was just above the railing.
"The button should be up there." Penny said.
However, before any of them could react, they spot several guards that beat them to it. "THERE THEY ARE! GRAB THEM!"
"BLOCK THEM IN!"
The lobby got flooded with a bunch of guards. Surrounding them. Penny and the group huddled around each other. Ayame held her gun furiously at the guards with Kenchiro sticking close to her to protect her. Etsuko held her paintball gun. Tsubaki cracks her knuckles, Yukina holds her small kunai defensively in front of her with a glare. Megumi stood in a fighting stance.
"We don't have time for this! We need to reach the control room!" Penny said.
Etsuko looks up at the railing. A smile crept her face. "Fufu~. Don't worry, I have a plan."
"Huh?" Ayame asked.
Etsuko looks towards Tsubaki who looks back at her. The small girl had a determined look on her face with Tsubaki sighs to herself. "Alright then."
"Huh? What?" Penny asked.
Yukina looks towards Megumi who nodded in response. The kunoichi looks back at the green haired girl. "Cover your mouth. Ayame, Kenchiro, you guys cover your mouths as well."
"Huh?"
"Just do it."
Ayame and Kenchiro followed suit as they covered their mouths with the collar of their shirts covering their mouths. Once everyone covered their mouths. Yukina reaches into her bag and brings out more small gray balls from her bag. Without hesitation, she throws the balls onto the ground.
*POOF!*
"GAAAAH!"
"THE HELL!?"
From the top railing, the guards look at the mass chaos. Trying their best to see if they can find their colleagues that were trapped within the cloud of smoke. All they could hear were punches, kicks, and plenty of others.
"Damn it! I can't see a damn thing!" One of the guards said.
"What do we do now!? Should we call for Tatsuya-!"
The guard immediately grabbed his colleague's collar. His face was stricken with fear. "Absolutely not! He'll have our head if we tell him that a bunch of brats manages to get through our defense! We hold off until we-"
"U-Um…"
"What!?"
His colleague didn't answer as he just pointed his shaky finger behind him. The guard looks over his shoulder and sees Etsuko flying in the air with her paintball gun. Aiming at the two with a smile.
"HELLO~!"
She shoots the paintball directly at their faces. Blinding them immediately. "GAH! I CAN'T SEE! I CAN'T SEE!"
*THWACK!* *THWACK!*
Etsuko smacks both guards with her paintball gun. Seeing them fall to the ground, Etsuko rushes over to the control room. Once she was inside, she spotted the control panel on the other end. A huge grin crept on her lips.
"Alright! Time to start the party!"
-Nekumi's Manor- [Front Entrance]
8:50pm
"THAT DAMN OLD FOSSIL!" An enraged Tatsuya stomps his way outside towards the limousine that was waiting for him. With a rather scared Jack behind him. "I'VE SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM RIGHT THEN AND THERE!"
"I-I mean, maybe it's not all THAT bad, boss!" Jack stuttered. Hopefully he can try to calm down his boss. But it only made it worse as he growled. He swore he saw electricity spurring from his closed fist. "B-But hey, at least you can test out your new power on him."
"Hmm…I suppose you're right…" Tatsuya said with an evil smile. He looks down at his own fist, feeling a surge of energy flowing within him. "I suppose it is time for me to test this new ability of mine…"
He stops in his tracks before he enters the vehicle. He looks over at Jack who flinches under his glare. "Listen here, Jack. I got a job for you."
"R-Really?"
"While I take you out of the prison, I want you to handle Hachimitsu. Before that bastard gave me his…surprise call. Maximus texted me, saying that he will bring the supposed cage and trap Hachimitsu within so the bomb can go off. Is all the equipment gone?"
Jack nodded. "That's right. Everything is in check. And the school is on lockdown."
"Good." Tatsuya smiled deviously. "Hahaha. Those fools will have their last night together. Now get going."
Jack stiffed his body before he saluted. "Y-Yes sir!"
Tatsuya turns around as he goes inside the limousine. With Jack going towards his vehicles. On that note, both cars went their separate ways. With one vehicle heading into the opposite direction away from the other.
Unkowest to them, just hiding by the bushes. Hayakki, Matsuri, Sousuke, Riku and Ren poke their heads out from the bushes, looking at the back of the two cars heading out. Away from the mansion.
"It's like you said," Matsuri whispered. "Both of them left the mansion."
"Of course." Hayakki said as she flicked her hair, accidently smacking Sousuke in the face. "However, we still have to shut down security."
Riku pushed up his glasses. "If I recall, you said that the security control panel was outside of the mansion, yes? But where is it?"
Hayakki beckons them to follow her. Hugging the wall, until they reached another gate, peeking her head out, she spotted the rather large garden area with plenty of rose bushes. Right in the middle was a shed that was being guarded by several men in black suits.
Matsuri blinked as he looked at Hayakki. "Why does your dad hide the security panel in the rose garden?"
"He thinks that no one would expect a security panel would be hidden amongst the garden. I mean, think about it, if you see a garden like this and one shed, what would you think is inside?"
Matsuri thought for a moment. "Um…just garden tools?"
"Exactly."
Sousuke and his friends looked at the guards with scared expressions. "U-Um…h-how are we gonna do this?"
Hayakki noted their scared expression. Placing her hands on her hips. "Ugh. Don't tell me you're scared already?"
"Well…I mean…" Sousuke stuttered between his words.
Riku decided to finish for him. "You see, it's just that this is our first time doing such a dangerous mission."
Matsuri and Hayakki both gave them a blank look. "Really?"
"What?" Sousuke asked as if he was offended.
Matsuri spoke first. "What about the time you guys snuck into Hachimitsu so you can retrieve your drone?"
"And let's not forget your little daring mission to snap shots at the female track team back at Atsuhiko, hmm?" Hayakki said with a crossed tone.
All three of the boys glance at each other with a guilty look before looking back at the two. "Okay so aside from those. But this is different, we're dealing with yakuza guys! Way more deadlier than your average high school student!"
Hayakki sighs to herself before giving them a disappointed look. "Honestly, I can't believe you three."
"H-Huh?" Sousuke and the other two asked.
"Here you are quivering in your shoes and yet there are dozens of captured female students and teachers at Hachimitsu. Who are probably scared, helpless, and possibly given up on hope to survive."
From those words, the boys suddenly had dozens of images of the girls in peril. Yelling for help as the school threatens to blow up. With all the students and teachers inside.
"I mean," Hayakki picked Matsuri up and brought him close. Causing him to blink in confusion. "Take Matsuri for example. He's aware that all of his friends and girlfriend are in trouble and he's throwing himself into danger to counter my father's plan."
"W-Why do you have to say 'girlfriend' so easily like that?" Matsuri asked.
Ignoring his question, she shoves him aside and looks at the boys. "And yet here you are scared? Do you not care for those beautiful girls who are waiting for a hero to show up? Don't you get it, you'll be seen as heroes if you all pull this off."
"Heroes…" The three of them had similar thoughts in their heads.
Being swarmed by the female students and even the teachers of Hachimitsu would praise them. Kiss them all over the place. Shove their breasts, thighs and asses all over their bodies. They're imagination then ran rampant as the girls around them started to pleasurably kiss them with their tongues exploring inside their mouths before they started to trail their tongues down against their necks and towards their bare chest. The girls then started circling their fingers around their nipples, causing them to moan in pleasure. But it didn't stop there, they traveled down their pants, ready to unzip their pants, ready for the main course-
"Boys!" Hayakki's voice interrupted their dream.
"Huh!?" All three of them were completely dazed out with small drools dripping against their lips.
Matsuri could only nervously chuckle at the boy's usual antics. Meanwhile Hayakki rolled her eyes with a sigh before addressing them. "I said, are you gonna stay cowards or are you gonna be heroes and save the day?"
The boys shook their heads to get back in the game. Slapping their own cheeks with their hands. They gave Hayakki a determined look as they stood up. Puffing their chest out with their hands on their hips.
"We'll be heroes." The three of them said at once.
-Hachimitsu- [Front Courtyard]
8:55pm
All of the students and teachers gathered at the front yard of the school. In front of the horde of worried students were the teachers. Takamoto stood forward with a furious glare, standing by her sides were Suzumei, Ringo (who was hiding behind Suzumei), Nagita, Ino and Kiruyu. But also standing next to them were the council (Kate, Mitsuko and Risa) and the guards (Mari, Meiko and Hana).
Standing on the opposing sides with their guns armed and ready were Tatsuya and a mix of Kojiro's men. However, Kojiro men were a little hesitant of the whole ordeal while Tatsuya men were ready to shoot to kill anyone who dares crosses.
Standing by while watching from the sideline was Kojiro and Scarlet who held a look. The bald man looked around with a nervous look.
"This is a madhouse…if only I could do something now…but I do now it would possibly get the students killed in a crossfire." Kojiro said with a desperate tone.
He felt Scarlet soft touch on his hand. He looks over to the worried fiance. "Darling…"
"It's alright Honey. I'm not gonna let these bastards get what they want."
"Patience now." Izumi warned him. "We can't give ourselves away. Until the moment is right, we wait."
Homura was impatiently tapping her foot on the ground with a growl. "Ugh…I just want to smash some heads."
Izumi sighs to herself. "Like I said, patience. If we do something now, then there's a chance that any of the students and teachers will suffer because of us. For now, we wait for Lady Hayakki's call, we still need to disable the bomb."
*Screech!*
They hear some tires screeching to a stop. Outside the gate, there was a red car, but it wasn't Tatsuya who came out of the car, but it was Jack who looked at the sight of the students and teachers who were brought out for their final hours.
He releases a malicious grin as he walks away from his car and casually walks towards them with his shit eating smug. Something that Homura wanted to smack off so much.
Once he reached them, he faced Takamoto with a grin. "Well, well, well. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?"
"Jack…" She muttered under her breath. "Where's Tatsuya? Busy looking at himself in a mirror."
"Nah, he got other business to take care of. He left me in charge of you ladies…and boys." He said as he licked his lips.
Ringo whimpered a little as she hid behind Suzumei who stood her ground. Meiko's blood was boiling as she glared at the man. Ready to drop kick him next week.
Mari heard what he said about Tatsuya taking care of other business. "If Tatsuya isn't here…then that means that the others must have distracted him."
Takamoto swings her arm out to tell them to stand down as she looks at Jack. "You really gonna kill us all. Just like that?"
"Of course. Though it's a shame though, I was expecting to have some fun with your bodies and all," He said with sexual thoughts in his mind. "Oh well, we can't have everything now can we."
Kate takes a step forward with a glare. "We won't let you get away with this."
"On the contrary…I think we already have. You see ladies, we were originally going to kill you at midnight, but something came up. So we're speeding up the plan," He said as he raised his arm, looking at his watch. "And your present is just about to arrive right about…now."
Takamoto and the others blinked. Unsure of what he meant. But soon got their answer when they heard helicopter noises closing in on them. Over the horizon, they see an army of military helicopters that looks to be carrying a huge dome with them, hovering over the city.
All the students murmured with frightened expression and concerns.
"The hell…is that?" Shingo asked with dread of sweat dripping against his skin.
"I…your's truly…do believe…it is…a…" Gakuto stuttered between his words still in shock of what he was looking at.
"A giant dome?" Mari said with a scared tone.
From the sideline, Kojiro and the others carried the same expression. Aside from Homura who's mouth hung wide open.
"What in blazes…" Kojiro muttered in shock.
The dome hovered towards Hachimitsu. With its intimidating size, the students and teachers stayed in one spot. Completely unable to move from the spot as they just look above them. The dome flew directly right under them, right in the middle of the school so that it could cover the whole campus.
Once it was in place, the dome started to lower itself onto the school. The students now became more frightened, one of them tried to run away…
*BANG! BANG!*
"KYAA!" The female student trips and falls on her butt.
Looking at the ground with the bullet holes in front of her. She scuttled backward. Back to the group with Mitsuko helping her up and embracing the terrified girl.
"That's right boys, keep them there." Jack humored himself. "Anyone who moves from that spot, are gonna wish they never step out of line!"
Takamoto growls under her breath but looks up noticing that the dome was gonna split the distance between them and the yakuza group.
"EVERYONE! BACK UP!" Takamoto yelled to the group.
Under order, they all back up a bit so that they won't get too close to the dome's edge. The dome sets itself down, creating a small thin rut in the process. Along the way, it crushed several trees in the forest area. With a complete touch down, the helicopter moves forward, twisting the dome to completely shut it tight.
Jack laughed to himself manically. "HAHAHAHA! HOW YOU LIKE YOUR PRESENTS KIDDIES! SCARED YET!? WELL YOU BETTER BE! BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THE APPETIZER! THE REAL PRESENT IS A REAL BANGER!"
And just on cue, another helicopter flew above the dome. Lowering its mechanical claw, it untwists the cap above pulling it out of its place. Once it was done, it retracts back into the hatch, not before lowering itself down again. This time carrying a small gray and white briefcase with a screen right in the middle.
"I-Is that a bomb!?" One of the students yelled in terror.
"THEY PLAN ON BLOWING UP HACHIMITSU WITH US INSIDE THE DOME!?"
Jack once again laughs maniacally, holding his stomach in. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! LOOK AT YOU ALL! SO SCARED FOR YOUR OWN DEATH!? WELL TOO BAD! AND WE GET FRONT ROW SEATS TO THE WHOLE SHOW!"
From the sides, Kojiro mens were rather conflicted with the whole ordeal. Was all of this really necessary? Killing all the students of Hachimitsu. All this mess?
Kojiro growled under his breath with his hand clenching into a fist. Scarlet bit her lips as she looked at Izumi.
"When do we shut his mouth?"
Izumi hums to herself with a worried thought. She looks down at her own phone. Looking for any text messages from Hayakki.
"We can't do anything until we receive something from Lady Hayakki, but I will inform her what's going on."
"Well, whatever you got, we better hurry." Homura muttered. She looks at the bomb inside with her binoculars. Seeing the timer starting the countdown to 15 minutes. "She better hurry…or Hachimitsu will be nothing but a crater."
Inside the dome, all the students were in a panic. They tried to beat on the dome, hoping to get out their death trap. But it proved to be futile as they couldn't even make a dent or crack.
"EVERYONE! PLEASE CALM DOWN!" Takamoto screamed.
"GIRLS! PLEASE RELAX! JUST GET TO THE BEST POSSIBLE COVER THAT WILL PROTECT YOU!" Kiruyu ordered.
"HAHAHAHA! IT'S USELESS!" Jack said as he bent his back with his hands opened. "THAT BOMB MAY BE SMALL, BUT IT'S EXTREMELY POWERFUL! YOU HAVE NO HOPES OF ESCAPING IT FLAMES OF HELL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Meiko gritted her teeth as she rushed towards Jack with her fist ready. But only ends up punching the dome. "YOU SICK TWISTED BASTARD!"
"HUUUUUH!? WHAAAAT!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY ENJOYMENT! HAHAHAHAHA!" Jack humored himself over Meiko's rage.
Just before Meiko was about to punch the dome again, she felt her hand was stopped by Andre. "Meiko! Please calm down!"
"LET ME GO! I'M GONNA BUST OUT OF THIS DOME AND KILL THIS BASTARD!" Meiko yelled in frustration.
"Meiko…" Mari softly touches her friend's shoulders. "Andre is right, remember….we still have our plan in motion."
Meiko blinks. Noticing what she meant by that. At this moment, Matsuri and the others should have their plan in motion. She breathes out some steam before looking at Mari. "I'm sorry."
Kate approaches the three. "Mari. I want you and the guards to find some cover for the girls for the time being." She looks over at Andre. "I want you to help as well. Get the boys and round up the girls."
"Right." Andre said as he rushed over to the boys.
Kate looks up at the bomb that starts the countdown.
14:30s
"Kate." The orange-hair teen looks down at Mari. "We have to put our faith in Matsuri and the others."
"...I know. I just hope…I just hope he will make it in time."
Kate and Mari looked up at the bomb that was counting down. Amongst the sound of horrified students who were panicking about their ticking doom.
-Omake: Etsuko The Council President Nominee -
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
Opening the door, poking her head through with her stretched hand. "HELLO KATE AND FRIENDS! I'M HERE TO DELIVER YOUR NEWSPAPER!"
"..."
The small first year opens her eyes noticing she wasn't receiving an answer. She noticed that no one was inside the room.
"Aww! They're not here!" Etsuko said as she pouted. Walking inside she sets the newspaper down on the table in the middle. "Oh well, I guess I'll leave it here for them."
Before she was going to make her leave, she looked up at the empty desk up front. Blinking to herself, a mischievous grin graced her lips as she ran up to the desk and sat on the chair. Using her weight, she spins the chair around. Laughing like a small child, she took the time to enjoy herself on the chair with a hum before an idea came to her mind.
"Must be fun being the council president and all. Although I think paperwork is gonna be a real ass to deal with I imagine." She said with a hum. But bounces right back up. "Just think of all the things I can do for this school if I was council president…if I was…"
Her thoughts then trailed off. Her eyes look up at the ceiling. Thinking of an alternate world if she was elected council president.
"Hmm…I wonder how life would be if I were the council president…." Etsuko thought to herself.
It was then her thoughts went into her own little imagination world…
…..
The room was filled with a crowd of students and teachers clapping their hands. Giving Etsuko a round of applause with confettis showering her in her glorious moment. Etsuko waved her hands to the crowd with a huge smile.
"ETSUKO! ETUSKO! ETUSKO!" The crowd applauded her.
Etsuko raises both her hands to stop the crowd from chanting. Clearing her throat. "Everyone, thank you for choosing me to be council president of Hachimitsu! And I will say this right now, your pick for me will not go unplaced. For I swear, under the oath, I will protect Hachimitsu from those who wish harm to our beautiful school! Students will receive their favorite food every Friday! Students will receive candies for their best behavior! School will no longer be out at 3:15pm but will be out at 12:15pm (at least on Fridays) and you will be glad to hear that there will be only one test instead of five for the finals!"
The room exploded in applause and roar for Etsuko. Pictures with Etsuko face with both her hands out giving peace signs.
"WE LOVE YOU ETSUKO!" Hana yells from the crowd.
"YOU'RE AMAZING ETSUKO!" Meiko yelled.
Etsuko basked in all her praises…
"ETSUKO! ETSUKO! ETSUKO! ETSUKO!"
…
Standing on top of the desk Etsuko was chanting her name multiple times with Kate and Mari looking at her with baffled expressions. Watching the girl chanting to herself.
"Etsuko! Etsuko! Etsuko! Etsuko! You're so amazing!" Etsuko was chanting to herself unaware of the two watching from the back.
Kate blinked twice as she looked at Mari. The crow's mistress gestures her hands giving Kate the go ahead to interrupt Etsuko's fantasy world.
Kate cleared her throat. "Um…Etsuko."
"Thank you, my wonderful audience! I will do my absolute best to make Hachimitsu the best school!" Etsuko said to herself.
"Um…Etsuko…" Kate said again. But didn't reach her again.
"I will do much better than Crow Mistress and the Snake Girl."
Kate felt a nerve hit her. Finally having enough, she walks up to the girl's ear. "ETSUKO!"
"NYAAAAA!" She jumps a little in the air.
Turning around to find Mari and Kate standing behind her the whole time. The poor small girl tried to find her footing. But her back heels ended up losing balance as it hung off the edge of the desk. Causing her to fall backward on the chair and falling back onto the floor.
Etsuko's face was red as she looked up at the ceiling. Completely dumbfounded by the sudden interruption. She finds Kate and Mari in her field of vision. Both of them looked at her with blank looks.
"So…did you have fun?" Mari asked.
Etsuko blinked twice before releasing a nervous chuckle. Only to sigh in defeat. "It was…"
…..
And that's a wrap! The ultimate decision battle is here. With everything on the line, Matsuri, Hayakki and his group must do everything in their power to stop Tatsuya and his plan to blow up Hachimitsu. But with them on the clock, they must hurry and before everyone they hold dear to will blow up into ashes. Will they manage or will they be engulfed into a fiery pit of hell?
Sorry for the wait people. Got distracted by playing a chunk ton of hours of Zenless Zone Zero and was working on some side But don't worry. I'm back and with a new chapter. We have roughly five chapters left until the end of this arc. Now, I did say I intend on making a remake for this story, but perhaps instead of a remake, I will just continue with this story after the yakuza arc. If I were to do so, the story would shift focus into a slice of life theme. Take note, I say this, but it is not guaranteed. So please keep this in mind.
From this point onward, things are gonna be heating up as each of the characters have their own roles to play. With Matsuri and Hayakki providing assistance to disable the bomb, and then there is Junichi who will engage in a fight against Tatsuya. But will be joined by another contender. Who is it? Take a wild guess. XD
We're approaching the near end of this story arc and I hope you guys stick around for the ride. Because it's gonna be insane and wild.
Oh! And bonus point for those who got the not to hard to miss Simpsons reference! XD
Thank you all for your continued support and praise. As usual, leave a review for feedback, stay safe and I will see you all in the next chapter.
Until then, see you later!
