"Grandpa!" - A girl shouted when she saw how the older man fell to the ground.
"What's going on?!" - a woman exclaimed when she saw how 5 other elderly people fell to the ground dead.
"The power has gone out!" - exclaimed another.
a doctor present yelled, "His pacemakers have stopped!"
Chaos was spreading inside the mansion as the sound of bullets echoed in the distance.
"Calm!" - Yuriko exclaimed from the balcony of the mansion - "I want everyone to stay calm and prepare to evacuate!"
Too bad not many people followed her words. The survivors began to run from one side to another as if they were headless chickens.
"..."-Yuriko only sighed with regret when she saw that her instructions were blithely ignored-"Better continued with the finishing touches of my plan..."
She quickly went back to the mansion because she knew they were running short of time, more so as she recognized the sound of gunfire getting closer.
---
Cloud was running at full speed through the corridors of the mansion, only to see how all the inhabitants were moving food and weapons at full speed. It was obvious that they were preparing to evacuate, so getting Saya and Yuriko out of this place was going to be easy.
"Cloud!" Saya exclaimed as she ran over to where he was, "What's going on?!"
She had seen the flash of the explosion in the distance but she still didn't quite understand the current situation with so many screams.
"The zombies are coming!" - exclaimed the blond - "A Nuclear Bomb exploded in the sea and created an EMP wave that destroyed all the electronic circuits!"
Saya's pupils dilated when she heard this but she quickly regained her composure- "We have to go to Okaasan and get her out of here!"
She didn't want to lose her mother after losing her father. "I was in this" - Cloud said seriously.
"Thank you"-Mumbled Saya as she gave him a hug but she quickly separated because she knew that it was not the time for this "Come on"
"Ok" - nodded the blonde as they ran towards the office of Saya's deceased father.
---
"I hope everything is ready" - Yuriko said with a serious look - "I gave them more than enough time to do it"
"Even if you say that, Yuriko-sama, it's obvious that it was just the right time..." - murmured one of the men present - "But yes, we did finish what you ordered"
"Perfect... prepare to evacuate..." - ordered the beautiful purple-haired woman with a conflicted look. She didn't want to leave the mansion but she knew it was the only option- "I want you to set the timer on the bombs to explode in 30 minutes... I want to send my home away with a Bang..."
"..." - the men present looked at each other but still nodded. They felt that her boss had gone crazy although if so, they couldn't blame her, after all, she had just lost her husband and was now about to escape from the home she had lived in for years.
"Okaasan!" Saya exclaimed as she entered the office.
"I know what you mean, Saya-chan" - Yuriko smiled - "I've got everything ready to escape so don't worry"
Saya could only breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this. This was the best news she'd heard since all this shit started.
"Remember to bring our guest so he has a front row seat to the fireworks"- Yuriko said hatefully as she glared at her subordinates- "And I hope he's comfortable... ok?"
"Hai!" one of them exclaimed as he ran out. It was best that she get this over with quickly so she could evacuate as soon as possible.
"Now, I want you to help evacuate the survivors who have followed my rules" - Yuriko said with a cold tone - "Remember, we don't need idiots who don't understand the situation"
"My husband was kind and look how he ended up, now it's time for them to understand that these days are not like they were before"-said that, Yuriko left the room. Those present could only give her a look full of surprise since they never thought that her kind boss, she would say something so cruel.
Cloud was just as surprised but her almost neutral expression didn't change in the slightest-"Come on, Saya" "Okay"-the pink-haired girl nodded as she came to her senses
and she followed her mother.

"Kya!" - The chaos inside the mansion was getting worse. People were pushing each other as they tried to escape through the gate, to the point that children were being killed by people stepping on them while escaping.
"Son!" a woman yelled as she carefully picked up the disfigured body of her little one, though she wasn't the only one of hers.
"This is getting ridiculous"-Miku murmured fearfully as she watched as some of the survivors began to break the windows of the mansion.
"We better go find our transportation"-Shizuka said as she shook her head. She couldn't see this anymore, except when she watched helplessly as some children under 10 years old were crushed by a mob without control.
"Do you still want to save them?" Kohta asked coldly as he ran with the others towards the garage.
"..." - those who had such thoughts, kept silent
while she shook her head.
"Let's leave that for another time, now we have to escape" - Saeko said seriously.
"Ok" Kohta nodded as he looked around coldly, as he didn't want anyone to have 'funny' ideas. He understood that times like these are where humans show their true faces.
---
"What do you think to do?" Cloud asked as he looked at the beautiful yakuza.
"I'm going to follow in my husband's footsteps and help those I can"-Yuriko said as she ran towards the parking area-"I told my men to save those who follow my rules"
"Ok, I'll help you" - Cloud said with a neutral voice. Honestly, he didn't care about all those people but he would help Yuriko with this as it was the least he could do for her.
"Thank you"-Yuriko murmured as she continued running-"Saya... I want you to go to the others of your initial group because I'll be a little late"
"Okaasan!" Saya exclaimed with concern but she nodded when she noticed her mother's serious look on her face-"Ok..."
"I'm sorry my little one"-Yuriko sighed as she shook her head-"Be calm, nothing will happen to me, after all, I can't leave my princess alone... right?
=_=-Saya just kept silent as she nodded-"Good luck... Okaasan..."
"Cloud... would you help me?" Yuriko asked as she watched to the blonde
"I promised Souichiro the night before he died…" Cloud murmured regretfully. He felt partially guilty because he could have killed Shido when he had the chance but he didn't.
"Cloud... please take care of my mother..." Saya murmured as she ran out to where the others were. She knew that she couldn't waste any more time, not to mention that she would be useless in times as crazy as this.
"Let's go"-Cloud said while he nodded-"Let's finish with what you have to do to get out as soon as possible"
"Believe me, I don't want to stay here either" - Yuriko said seriously - "The bomb is going to explode in less than 30 minutes"
"Don't even remind me"-said the blond while he shook his head - "Where are we going?"
"Where an old friend"-Yuriko smiled as she looked at the blonde- "I'm sure he will enjoy your presence"

Shido was slowly regaining consciousness but when he did, he heard how people were screaming uncontrollably, "What's going on?"
"Chaos..." - answered a feminine voice.
"Yuriko...Takagi..."-Shido said with hatred but it grew when he noticed the person next to him-"Cloud...Strife..."
"Hello, Shido" - Cloud said calmly.
"I should have realized earlier that this whore would have spread her legs for you by now" - Shido said with a venomous voice - "I guess Souichiro must be rolling in his grave knowing his wife was nothing but a whore.. .true, he doesn't have a grave, in fact, I think he doesn't even have a complete corpse"
"Speak as much as you can because you are about to die" - Yuriko said coldly - "Too bad I won't be able to do it with my own hands because that would be too fast"
"What... do you plan to do to me?" - Shido asked with a slight fear. What he had been through during these few hours had been one torture after another.
"Simple, you're going to see fireworks in the front row" - answered the beautiful woman with purple hair while
she was pointing at a bomb that was a few meters away.
"!" -Shido was surprised as sweat gathered on his forehead. He tried to move but was completely trapped.
"Don't try to move, it's impossible for you to achieve it" - Yuriko said coldly - "Just enjoy the few minutes you have alive... you could say that you will have an explosive end"
"I think it's better that you stop with those bad jokes" - he said
Cloud as he shook his head.
"..."-Yuriko just gave her an annoyed look but she didn't say anything to defend herself.
"It's better that we move... according to the counter, we only have 20 minutes" - Cloud said seriously.
"Ok..." - the yakuza woman agreed - "Good luck Shido, I hope you bring lubricant so that when you get to hell, you can continue giving your services to the demons..."
"I'm going to kill you, bitch!" - Shido roared furiously but Yuriko only replied with a smile - "Bye-Bye~!"
