Chapter 4 - this is the only way

[masahiro looks at the map and sees that there is a city 30 miles away]

Masahiro: [sigh] just a little longer.

[okuda puts his hand on masahiros shoulder]

Okuda: So how much longer?.

Masahiro: about 30 more miles]

Okuda: how long will that take?.. We never did pack food and we have people who are hungry.

Masahiro: It will take about a day to get there.

Okuda: ok.

[okuda looks out the trains window and sees a horde of charge demons]

Okuda: charge demons are heading our way.

Masahiro: ok.

[masahiro pulls the steam release then shovels coal into the fire]

[okuda looks at masahiro confused]

Okuda: What are you doing?.

Masahiro: There's no steam so if I make the fire bigger then release all of the steam we will have enough power to take a charge demon hit.

Okuda: oh ok.

[masahiro closes the furnace door then releases all of the steam]

Masahiro: [sigh] that should be enough.

[the charge demons starts running toward the train]

Charge demon: rrooaarr!!!!!!!!!!

[okuda looks out the window and sees the charge demons running towards them]

Okuda: incoming!!.

[10 charge demons run into the train and derail it]

Masahiro: Everyone take cover!!.

[after sometime masahiro wakes up and sees the charge demons walking away]

Masahiro: what.. Why are they walking away?.

[masahiro climbs out of one of the windows]

Masahiro: [sigh] there's still 30 miles to the next city.

[masahiro sees that most of the people fell out of the broken windows]

Masahiro: ok, time to go check up on everyone.

[masahiro walks towards the pile of people]

Masahiro: okuda?, anyone alive?.

Okuda: [cough].

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: how did you get back here?.

Okuda: I don't know.

[masahiro reaches his hand out to okuda]

Masahiro: Come on, there's no time for sleeping.

[okuda smiles]

Okuda: Who said I'm sleeping?.

[okuda stands up and grabs his sword]

Okuda: So what is everyone meant to do now?.

Masahiro: [sigh] I have an idea but I know it's wrong.

[okuda puts his hand on masahiros shoulder]

Okuda: Any idea is good now, we're out of options.

Masahiro: [sigh] we get rid of the innocent and take the ones who can fight for themselves.

[okuda looks at masahiro surprised]

Okuda: you don't mean.

Masahiro: Yes, because if the parents die who will be there to protect the children.

Okuda: We could.

Masahiro: We can't protect ourselves and 50 children at the same time.

Okuda: [sigh] fine, if it's our only option.

Masahiro: thanks.

[masahiro walks towards the people]

Masahiro: children line up!!!.

[tori runs towards masahiro]

Tori: What are we going to do? We can't stay like this.

[masahiro puts his hand on tori's shoulder]

Masahiro: [sigh] we have to kill the children because they are the ones that won't be easy to protect if their parents die.

[tori looks at masahiro surprised]

Tori: what?.

Masahiro: [sigh] it kills me to say it but it's our only option for survival.

[tori tears up]

Tori: I understand.

Masahiro: Thank you.

[masahiro walks in front of one of the kids and crouches down]

Masahiro: I promise everything will be ok.

[arima tears up]

Arima: will mommy and daddy be ok?.

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: I promise they'll be fine.

[arima smiles]

Arima: Will I be in a better place?.

Masahiro: Yes.. in the best of places.

[arima smiles then closes his eyes]

[masahiro tears up then stabs arima in the stomach]

[arima lays his head down on masahiros shoulder]

Arima: t..thank y..you.

[arimas body goes cold]

[masahiro starts to cry]

Masahiro: I'm so sorry.

[okuda puts his hand on masahiros shoulder]

Okuda: It kills me to do this but.. Leave the rest to me.

[after sometime okuda kills all 49 kids]

[okuda drops to the ground crying]

Okuda: I'm sorry!!!!.

[masahiro puts his hand on okudas shoulder]

Masahiro: It's ok.. They're in a better place.

[masahiro passes out and starts to have a panic attack]

[okuda looks at masahiro concerned]

Okuda: masahiro?.

Okuda: masahiro!!!!!.
