Prologue
Kimura, Aki (2018)
Standing outside of a coffee shop in an attempt to not bring attention to himself, Aki Kimura pops in his headphones and calls to the person on the other side. "This is Kimura, I'm at the location. If it isn't too rude to ask, where is this place anyway?"
A bit of silence later, someone responds to him. "It's in one of the alleyway entrances near the capital building. Shouldn't be too hard to see." A girl named Taro Natsuro tells him as he steps out and discreetly investigates the area around him.
"No shit. I see it. Way to make yourself obvious." He says, staring at a reinforced door with a fake 'Keep Out' sticker on it. Using his sword hidden in his back, he cuts the hinges and quietly sets it down, stepping inside with caution.
"I'm in." He whispers in an attempt not to attract any attention to himself.
"Good. Try not to make too much noise." Taro orders him.
"Hey, if they don't attack me, I won't. How's that?" He says jokingly as he infiltrates the underground area of the capital building. As he sneaks around, he notices several stickers and some unused bombs surrounding the walls around him.
"All of these explosives... Where did they get these?" He asks, checking them for authenticity.
"Explosives? Just what do they plan on doing?" She asks, questioning their actions.
"I don't know..." Moving along, Aki head more in, hiding behind some crates when he hears movement and talking.
"How many guys are there?" Taro asks him while trying to find out what their next move is going to be. Aki quietly scans the room for hostiles. Sure enough, there are lots.
"There's about 30, maybe 40, all with guns. I can't take them out on my own." He states, taking in the limits of his power in mind.
"That's alright. Just disarm the explosives and get the fuck out of there." She tells him as Aki quietly maneuvers through the building, making sure that he doesn't alert anyone in the area. He'd have to deal with these guys later. Sneaking through the majority of them and knocking out those in his way, he head to the next room, where he sees lots of bombs being prepped for something.
"Okay. These bombs must be connected to a transmitter of some sort. If I deactivate that, then in theory, that should also wipe out the detonator too. Or I could always just deactivate the detonator itself. I guess I'll figure it out as I go." Aki lists, considering his options for this mission
"Watch yourself, Aki." A worried Taro tells him as he heads deeper into enemy territory.
"Don't worry, I got this." He whispers as he silently subdues an enemy and investigates the explosives near the guard.
He notices that some of the bombs have S.T.R.I.K.E. logos all over them, as well as some of the walls.
"All of these bombs...they have our logos on them! Our names...bastard's gonna blow the roof of this place and blame it in us!" He tells her in an increasingly more infuriated tone as he steps away from the bombs.
"Not on our watch. Defuse the detonator and we'll turn this against them." Taro orders him,
"Who the hell are these people? They go this place and several government buildings rigged to blow. Why are they doing this?"
"I'm asking myself the same question. Guess we'll find out soon enough."
Using the shadows and his speed to his advantage, he bypasses the security and finds what looks like a detonator. Using his phone, he connects Taro to it, letting her gain access and seeing for himself the situation at hand.
"Nevermind, I've connected you to the detonator. It's live, and so are some other ones. Shit. Think you can shut it off?" He asks, worried.
"Yeah, but it'll take some time. Just stay quiet-"
The doors around him open and several men with guns flood in, forcing him to go into hiding. "Shit. I've been compromised! I'll try to hold my ground!" He tells her as he prepares himself.
"Okay, watch yourself, Aki." Taro tells him as he unsheathes his sword and barges into the group. As a Shinobi, his movements and reflexes are normally dialed up to 100 compared to the average human. He makes quick work of the first wave of enemies, slicing them down like butter. He goes to put away his sword, however, suddenly, he's attacked from behind. He doesn't expect it, so he's hit, but it doesn't hurt a lot, so he can retaliate pretty quickly with a simple slash. Several others appear and try to surround him, only for him to dash out of range and using Getsuga Jujisho to eliminate them.
"How far are you? I don't think I can hold these guys off any longer!" Aki worriedly asks as another bullet barely manages to graze his face while he blocks another as another wave charges in
"Just a minute! Looking for the detonation sequence..." She tells him as Aki deals with his problem. A few carefully planned slashes later, hes down to the last guy.
"Okay, I got it. I just need for you to pull the wire!"
Having dealt with the last guy, he walks back to the detonator and follows her instruction. "Alright."
"This better not blow me to pieces." He says, gripping the wire and pulling hard.
"It won't, trust me." Taro reassures him as the wire is torn in half. The timer in the screen stops, meaning that they've succeeded.
"We did it." Aki says in relief.
"Alright, now-" All of a sudden, several gunshots are heard from the ear piece, followed by the unsheathing of a sword.
"Taro? Taro!" Aki shouts through the mic.
She doesn't respond for a few seconds until eventually: "We've been compromised!"
"What?! How the hell did they find you?" He shouts, with a confused and angry tone of voice.
"I don't know. We have to hold our ground here or they'll find everything! Go shut down the transmitter before they blow the roof off half the city!" She f frantically tells him as she tries to hold off the enemies on her end.
"We can't let that happen! Alright, be careful. I need you alive to deal with this transmitter. Once we're done, get the fuck out of there." Aki commands her before making a break for the roof. On the way, he finds a few enemies, but it's nothing a few Getsuga Tensho can't handle. After the enemies are dealt with, he breaks the rusted gate in front of the ladder to the roof and climbs up the ladder as fast as possible.
Reaching the roof, he asks himself, "Where the hell is this thing?" Looking around the roof, He searches for the transmitter to shut it down for good in hopes of setting a chain reaction, shutting down the other bombs. At first, he can't find anything, but from the corner of his eye, he notices a particular looking box in a relatively obvious location. Prying it open with his katana, he inspects it's contents, finding a medium sized satellite dish and a computer plugged in next to it inside. This, without a doubt is the transmitter. Opening the laptop and looking at the display in front of him, he starts to look around for a way to shut it off. "I'm at the transmitter! I need your help, Taro!"
There is only static on the other side. "Taro? Fuck! I need to do it myself." clacking away at the keys, Aki attempts to figure it out using his own knowledge as the timer winds down. "All I need to do is a little bit of this and a little bit of that" Eventually, after a few seconds, he's cracked it, causing the timer to freeze as it's forcibly shut down. "...got it!" He happily says at his success. He lays next to the wall attempting to calm down his heartbeat after such a stressful and close call.
"That was close."
However, the computer suddenly beeps and the countdown initiates again. The color in Aki's face drains as he realizes what's happened
"What? No, no, no!" He shouts at the screen while doing what he can to try and deactivate the bombs a second time, to no avail.
"Well, well, well. Thanks for the assist, Kimura Aki. You did it a lot faster than I thought you would." A voice calls out from behind.
Aki quickly turns around and enters a stance should he need to attack.
"How do you....who the fuck are you?" He asks him with a malicious tone of voice, seeking to know how he knows his name.
"You think you stopped the bombs that easily? No, that's far from the truth. In fact, you helped us cleanse the world of it's corruption." He explains, closing the book he has in his hand.
"Cleanse? You sick bastard!" He spits out, knowing what he's referring to.
Complete anarchy. Genocide.
"Nope. I'm a savior. You should thank me for my efforts to to what no one else will. Destruction is the solution to mankind's problems, and it starts today... with your end. Here our name, Xcution!" He motions his hand to his surroundings, where Aki gets a clear view of the city being blown up from all directions.
"No. No no. This can't be... It's not real!" He shouts at the events unfolding in front of him., staring in horror as the city burns up in flames.
"Oh it's real. Once again, thank you for the help, but you've served your purpose. Kill him."
He turns and starts to charge at him, with the intent to kill in his eyes. "You'll pa-." He starts to shout, only to be completely cut short by a short fast and clean strike to the abdomen. The attacker cleans his sword and sheathes his sword
"Too easy." He says, staring menacingly into his eyes before softly pushing Aki to the cold waters below to die. The last thing he sees before plunging in the cold water below is the glow in their inhuman eyes as they stare at his numb body fall backwards with a splash.
Am I...dead? He thinks as his vision goes blurry from the water in his eyes. He could scream, he could shout, but its all useless, because the deed is done, and there's nothing he can do, but sink.
I...failed. I'm sorry, everyone. Is one of his last thoughts before starting to drown.
Then, a voice in his head calls to him. No. This isn't your end. This is far from over. His entire body glows in a dim white glow, and his body changes.
Tensa...Zangetsu.
