Chapter 40 - Chapter 29

A few minutes after the explosion…

Jerry to Lisa; looks like this place was under a forest the whole time, it makes sense that they would want this place hidden, still something bugs me.

Lisa; you're wondering where the speedsters are, aren't you?

Jerry; exactly, I have a bad feeling, I don't want to believe it's true, but I think we've been set up.

 

The next morning at the Franciscan chapel centre around 7:00 a.m.

?; it seems you wouldn't break just yet.

*CRACK*

Reveren; AHHH!

?; you're quite resilient, Reveren Momonoske Oda.

The Reveren was lying on the floor of the chapel, while the entire building was in ruins. He was covered in bruises and blood.

?; I'll ask you again, where is it?

Oda; I told you, I don't know.

He then spat out blood.

?; you know, I hate to kill a man in a place like this, then again you aren't as pure as you seem, isn't that right?

Oda; …

?; that's right, you've been holding a sin with you this whole time, answer me this, when where you going to tell them, your precious wife and daughter?

Oda, while crying; I guess you're right, I've had several affairs behind their backs, and always managed to cover them all up, I'm so ashamed, I spend day after day preaching against the very thing I can't escape, I guess deserve to burn for all eternity in hell.

?; very good Momonoske, but I'm not going to take you there. You are going to spend the rest of your life in this pitiful state before your soul turns crispy.

*crack*

?; mh?

He then went to check it out, then found a hidden space where he found a box.

?; now would you look at this, and here I thought I would reduce this place to rubble. Well, it's been fun. When you see the guy with the horns, tell him I want my spot nice and warm.

Oda; Won, before you go, I must apologize, whatever I did to make you hate me, to make you hate this world.

Won; Save your breath, it's far too late for anything you can say.

The man the disappeared in the blink of an eye as Oda looked on and lost consciousness.

 

Back in Korea, Jerry and the others were walking down the streets in gray cloaks…

Jerry to Lisa; By the way, I never mentioned this, but it was genius what you did with the message on the paper.

Lisa; don't give me too much credit, I just thought of something only you and I would know.

Jerry; yeah, it was a drawing of godzila next to the number 8.

Choki; oh you mean like monster 8?

Jerry; yeah, it was the last manga we read together.

Choki; wow that is genius.

Lisa; aw, thank you.

Jerry; yeah, anyway, I need to keep looking for my dad.

 

Then they stopped at a junction where there was a large digital billboard in front of them.

"Breaking news, just an hour ago, Japan has been attacked by the infamous terrorists known as the speedsters. It is unknown how many people are dead, however, around 6 places where hit, namely

… "

Jerry; Hey, Choki, they're saying something about an attack, you mind translating it?

Choki, with a horrified look on his face; …

Jerry; Choki? What's wrong? Kongou what does it… huh?

Kongou, with the same look on her face; Master…

Attacked locations;

USS embassy

JSDF head quarters

Downtown Shinjuku, Nagasaki

Franciscan chapel centre

Ga-den Estate.

 

Lisa with her hand on Jerry's shoulder; Jerry, you don't have to blame yourself for this… Jerry?

 

Jerry; *Lisa's words never reached me. I just stood there standing I felt nothing, heard nothing, I then remembered this feeling, it was nostalgic from a few years back, after Tom and Jake where attacked. Yes, I know why this feeling burning in me, because for the first time, in years,

I am truly angry.

 

Jerry had the face of a killer, it then changed to one of stone.

Jerry; Choki, Kongou, change of plans. We're going back home.

Jerry to Lisa; Lisa, you have things you haven't finished here is that right?

Lisa; yes, but…

Jerry; that's all I need to know, Choki, you're with me.

Jerry to Lisa; Sorry to cut our time short,

Lisa; You're going back?

Jerry; I have a duty to attend to. Sorry we had to say goodbye like this. I hope you'll be alright.

Lisa; it's fine, just promise me you'll be careful.

Jerry; I will. 

 

Then Jerry carried Choki in his arms and rushed straight towards the airport. Within an hour, they boarded the private Jet.

Choki to Jerry in the Jet; Jerry pardon my asking, but why didn't you rush us both back yourself?

Jerry; because carrying other people slows me down tremendously, running drains me enough you know.

Choki; oh, that makes sense.

Jerry; *I wonder how everyone's doing. Still, I know I promised myself I wouldn't kill anyone by my hand again, but when I find out who did this, I'll make sure they beg for death, till they're willing to die by their own hands*

 

Elsewhere…

Erica, while eating a roasted fish at a small shop; Things are getting interesting right about now.

 

Meanwhile…

Itona on the phone; Tom, I'm not sure I have the time to come.

Tom; oh, you're busy?

Itona; yeah, after avenging my dad, I've been feeling like, i'ts just finally hit me.

Tom; you mean how getting your revenge was the only thing distracting you from your dad's death and now that it's done you've got nothing to do but face facts?

Itona; that's basically it.

Tom; do you regret killing Greg?

Itona; If I'm being honest, I guess I overreacted a bit.

Tom; I see, feel free to call if you're feeling better.

Itona; will do so.

 

Back at the estate, Jerry got off the Jet where a lieutenant came to greet him…

Lieutenant; Young master Jerry, welcome back, miss Lara told me to escort you.

Jerry; what's the situation?

Lieutenant; Several buildings were destroyed, most of them where commercial ones as well as a few residential areas. At least 50 people are dead that we know of, and over 200 are missing.

Jerry; I see, take me to the Takaito.

Lieutenant; about that, the building is currently unusable at the moment, it had sustained heavy damage during the attack.

Jerry; then take me Lara. Choki, go and make sure your family is alright, that's an order.

Choki; yes, sir!

 

A few minutes later just outside the Ga-den hospital…

Jerry to Lara; I see, you're OK.

Lara; look in front of you, the hospital is filled with people trying to get in.

?; Miss Lara, we're trying to set up shelters for people who can't make it in.

Jerry; Use the field behind the Hospital, and another one a few dozen meters from her.

?; yes young master, and I hoped you enjoyed you trip.

Jerry; you'll have time to hope when people are safe. NOW GO!

?; YES SIR!

Lara; you met Lisa back in Seoul didn't you?

?; and if I did? Anyway, where's Kagura?

Lara; …

Jerry; well?

 

A few hours earlier, at the Takaito…

Lara to Kagura; this building is going to collapse at any moment.

Kagura; let's make sure as many people get to safety as possible.

 

A few moments later…

Araki to Kagura and Lara; that guy over there, he's a speedster!

Kagura; Araki hold this for me.

Kagura to Lara; alright, let's do this.

Lara; OK…

 

Then Araki injected something into Lara's neck causing her to lose consciousness.

Kagura; take her out of here. I'll hold him off.

Araki; but sir, he could kill you in an instant!

Kagura; then use that instant to escape. Hey, speedster, listen don't go after them, I have info you need.

The Speedster, said nothing, but then turned his head and raised his eyebrow slightly.

 

Back to present…

Lara; by the time I woke up, I found him on the asphalt it seemed like that bastard threw him off the building.

Her lips then began to tremble.

Jerry; I see then.

?; Young master, the shelters have been set up!

Jerry; good, time to fix this shit.
