Chapter 18 - Stairway to Hell

Masamune arrived at the Northern-west of Yellow zone rail station located in Itabashi district. When he arrived at the station, he saw Tomotaki already presented there.

"What's this about?" Masamune asked

Tomotaki comes forward "I know, It's our day off but we got an incoming call from a citizen, saying he seeing a strange man standing in front of their house the Caller didn't identify the man who lurked in the shadow then the call was disconnected".

Tomotaki knits his eyebrows "Few hours later, the Caller called again but he was gasping saying that man was smiling looking at the house. What he described the man was tall spiky teeth his hands has no fingers his arms moving like a waves. Soon he was running straight to the Caller's house then the call was disconnected again, we tried calling him but no answer"

Masamune angrily response "Why didn't you go to the crime scene? If you knew something is up"

Tomotaki points out "Hey, hey, we direct orders from Major Morikazu to stay in put until you come back, now you need meet up with the Major at the Grand Wall" he went forward "It's a walking distance follow me"

Masamune followed Tomotaki to the Grand Wall,

.....

When they arrived, Masamune is overly exclaims, "Whoa... that concrete wall is huge, when I arrived T. Y. Z by didn't have the pleasure to see.

Tomotaki also looks at the wall "Yes, A.N.A seal off entire city with fully developed Zattai Barriers transforming into a giant wall, it looks like a brick cement made wall but all thanks for the technology, it constructed within couple of weeks".

Masamune nods but question him "Yeah... However, what is A.N.A? I heard from the press questioning the general"

Tomotaki replied "A.N.A stands for All Nations Alliance, all the nations of the world has united for making the world a better place, they ordered Brittonia to take control of the country and seal off the capital because of the virus didn't spread all over the world, they wouldn't shut down the Barrier until we finding and kill all the Mutant and infected creatures and put an end of the viral infection".

"Imagine" Tomotaki continues, "When world's strongest countries, set a sides of all the differences and formed a single and powerful Superpower, that rule the world in one big empire, it is called the ANA.

"It is a good plan doing it though, hence they controls most of the world and even unformed countries and areas.

Becoming the most powerful empire of the world, once they achieved that power they really bored what to do with it, Where the people of an empire have no real interest in colonising a land the empire takes for its resources, they may resort to an extraction strategy.

This is often more brutal to those living there, as it doesnt necessarily bring with it legal structures citizens would usually be entitled to.

This is offen caused by how in hospitable the

Climate or environment is".

Tomotaki points a finger on the small wall "That is the Zone Wall or mini wall that divided the zone their height is mostly 50 to 70 Metres. And the bigger one is divided for separating the city from the rest of the world its more than 500 meters" he sighs "The A.N.A also tributes billions of money for our cause. Their main homeland located in Paris, A.N.A are a very powerful Empire, no one dares to cross them since they own most of the world"

Masamune points on something "What's that? Near the Brittonia's base tower top"

Tomotaki continue walking "Automatic mini machine guns that placed every base top of towers designed to automatically shoot down every infected creatures who tries to pass the wall. You see we cannot trust ordinary humans to take 24/7 duties, if one infected pass through the wall. They going to infect every human being in the yellow zone". Tomotaki pointed down some armour vehicles "That's Brittonia's heavily tanks, sub machines guns in built, grenade launcher and mega missiles strong enough to blow up an entire building the has no wheels, it can transform into four legs looking like a huge black turtles, helps us pass through any mines or razor fences, we call it Brittonia's big girls".

"Have you people had enough sight scenes yet ?" Major Morikazu arrived at their back.

"What's the order Major?" Masamune asked,

Tomotaki crossed his arms "Yeah, we waited long enough for your order, I doubt that we can anything"

Morikazu chuckles "Hehe, you bring your Cube Masamune?"

He nods,

Morikazu looked at Tomotaki "That's for you sergeant Tomotaki, you get back to Yellow zone base and wait for further orders"

Tomotaki get pissed "Huh! What the fuck, why you even call me here for?"

Morikazu furrowed "That's an order scumbag; besides there no above order for me sent you back, I did it because I want to, and you don't want to disobey your superior, huh?"

Tomotaki growls but not able to question him "Yes sir" he returned to the base.

Masamune did not like that, how he treated Tomotaki but he also not able to question his superiors.

After Tomotaki was gone, Major Morikazu turned back and start walking "Come along private Masamune, there are Mutants waiting for me to kill and who knows maybe you get promoted for taking such difficult mission" Masamune had no choice but to follow him.

....

On Akagi's Apartment, he opens his door; he saw Fumihiro kneeled down, panting

"What happened to you?" Akagi questioned Fumihiro with concern.

"My sister, Yugiri...She is missing" Fumihiro replied in muffle voice but he continues

"Her wheelchair was present but she's not there I looked everywhere, I even asked the neighbour then... I... I got a message it said they got Yugiri, I received the address to a steel"

Fumihiro got the same message as well as Akagi; he showed the text to Fumihiro.

"What are we going to do? We got the same message and it wants us to go to that steel Mill" Fumihiro asked Akagi.

Akagi thinks for a moment then speaks "Looks like we have no choice to go there, it could be a trap but what do we have"

Akagi and Fumihiro both agreed went to Steeling Mill.

...

On the Steel Mill, they saw the chimney still working on smoke coming out from it, before they entered.

Akagi stopped Fumihiro "Wait! We don't know what will happen if we go in, better to scout the steel mill, observe what we're up against"

Fumihiro forcefully removed his hand "Screw it, they have my sister, do you expect to and observe" he went right in.

Akagi extremely pissed "What the fuck is wrong with this guy, can't you listen a single advice"

He also went in to the Steel Mill.

They entered and saw little Yugiri unconsciously hanging in chain on a metal boiling liquid in a big container. Three-four cages hanging in the top of Mill filled with Walkers, as the Walkers roaring like animals.

"Welcome, signor to my entertainment show" a voice came from a top of the mill,

"Who the fuck are you? Give Yugiri back!" Fumihiro shouts

The man jumped down on the ground it was of course Tomita Mitsumasa,

Fumihiro frowned to see him "So it was you Mitsumasa! Attacking me is not enough you sick head, what the fuck do you want?"

He exciting chuckles while closed eyes he explained "Sorry I had to kidnapped your sister in order of two to came in here, you may asked why am I doing this. My motive is simple really finding and killing better opponents". His eyes opened spread his arms "For doing, that I will be the strongest Mutants ever existed" he looked up talking to someone from above "And I will finally achieved the title of the Chasepic Ripper from my Grandmaster". He manically shouts widened his eyes to the full "I will find a place to go heaven; I call It Stairway to Heaven!"

Fumihiro Growls "You fucking psycho" he went to kill Tomita.

But Akagi suddenly asked "Wait a minute Mitsumasa-San" Akagi asked him "Please explain to me more about your Grandmaster, I am curious to know about your motivation, interest and your God that you serve, the glory of Chasepic Ripper"

Listening to his curiosity he is flattered "Wow sono impressionato, I didn't that coming, Buh Sono un lavoratore per gli occhi" he continues in Italian.

Fumihiro stares at Akagi telling in expression, what he is doing, Akagi nods for calm him. He definitely got something.

Akagi interrupts him "Um... You would you kindly speak normal, there is no subtitle under you, it difficult to understand"

Tomita smiles "Well put it simply I want to kill both of you and devour Fumihiro's sister for my recovery for the damages I about to take"

Fumihiro burst out in rage "Fuck you... Mitsumasa" he runs violently towards Tomita

"Wait you moron, just a minute," Akagi shouts.

Without listening him Fumihiro actives his Noryoku tries to kicked for slicing him.

Tomita dodges his attacks in walking in a park, just after Fumihiro delivered another kick Tomita grabbed his throat and threw him like a tin can.

Fumihiro smashed on wall, "Is that what you got been an S Ranked Mutant, such a shame" Tomita taunting him. Seeing the opportunity Akagi, strike a blow from Tomita's back.

Tomita again slipped through several punches from Akagi.

Tomita chuckles "Oh my, looks like you want to dance as well, hehe... Come on show me what's you got".

While Akagi fights as Yuji taught him, but unfortunately, Tomita not taken a single punch, moving right or left, avoiding the punch, Akagi continued punching him.

Tomita becomes bored and blocked one of Akagi's punch, he grabbed Akagi's wrists and pulls near him, as Akagi came *Doom* Tomita attacked Akagi with his knee while he hanging on his knee Tomita grins looking at Akagi's face "You see that's how we knell people and..." He punched right Akagi's face "That's how we punch people"

Akagi went far away from door separates from his glasses, after massive punch, Akagi groaning on the ground seeing Tomita coming towards him, Fumihiro quickly pounce and successfully sliced Tomita's back, he didn't expected that.

A deep vertical cuts starts to appear from his back follows up a crimson sticky liquid spewing from his back.
