Screams, pain, and sorrow could be heard across that bloody afternoon in Japan. As the media started to report the bombings and the government emitted national warnings, nobody could understand why this had happened. Japan has always been a country of low crime and terrorism. One of the reasons many foreigners visit Japan is the peacefulness and safety that can be felt when being there. But now, its citizens were subject to devastating bombings in two of the most visited train stations in the entire country.
"Preliminary reports say that both the Shibuya and Shinjuku train stations have been subject to bombings which have left many dead. Officials suggest not to go near any of the stations, and curfews have been placed in case of a future attack."
With news about the bombings leaving the nation at a complete standstill, government officials worked on trying to find a culprit behind the bombings. Nonetheless, they had way bigger problems to worry about.
"According to new reports, we have… the… danger… refuge..."
Static noise filled the screens of TVs throughout the homes of citizens. The screens displayed nothing but static. Smartphones lost all internet connection. All types of internet-connected devices lost signal. As the confusion caught up to those affected, despair grew among citizens in the area. Some kind of unexpected force had hacked and disrupted all types of telecommunications in the Tokyo Metropolis. This meant that the bombings were of something bigger than anyone could imagine.

"Boss said that IED's blew the shit outta Shibuya and Shinjuku. It's sad, but they will learn that it's for a better cause."
A group of men stood in the rooftop of an abandoned building in Bunkyō. Next to them, a dozen big bags containing unknown contents inside.
One of them looked at their phone and saw that he had no phone signal.
"It's time. Them hackers disrupted all the telecommunications in the city. That means we gotta release these. The others must be prepping to release them by now."
As the man finished, the others started unbagging the contents inside the bags. Inside the bags, were high quality drones, rigged with IED's. There were at least over 50 of them in that rooftop.
"So basically, we just gotta pull them out and then press this button, and they'll release by themselves?"
One of the men asked.
"Yes. According to the guy who manufactured these, they already have set targets, and they'll chase them themselves."
Another man responded.
"Let's see these babies roll!"
The drones had been placed on the floor on the rooftop, with enough space for them to take off. One of the men proceeded to press the button given to them, and the drones all turned on in an instant with red flashing lights. They then started hovering off the floor, until they reached enough proximity to the building. The men were amazed by the self controlled drones which they had unleashed. They could see other drones in the sky, from others released by other groups of Antonov supporters on other rooftops.
The drones proceeded to start flying off to different directions and different altitudes. The sky was filled with drones in all directions. Some of the people who had gone outside looking for answers after losing telecommunications signals were the first to see the drones in the sky.
"The government probably released them to bring surveillance to the area"
People assumed that the drones did not bring any type of danger to them. It made them feel reassurance that they were being protected in these confusing and desperate chains of events.
*BOOOOOMMMMMMMM*
The first explosion was heard. The drones had started flying into buildings, houses, and vehicles. As they impacted, the IEDs would explode, creating big explosions that could be heard all around Tokyo. The drones targeted at random, and many buildings that housed apartments, offices, and stores were being damaged by the explosions. People outside who thought nothing of the drones would approach them, sealing their fates as soon as the IEDs exploded. Citizens inside their houses would be critically injured by the explosions. One of the drones exploded into a long bridge, making it crumble and collapse, with many cars falling down as a result. With no way for the government or the media to warn others about the drones, many citizens fell victim to the explosions. The men on the rooftops watched in awe, as they saw the destruction they had unleashed.
Some drones attacked school buildings, injuring students who were in their classrooms. One drone fell in the middle of a basketball court, killing students who were in their physical education classes. The panicked students would take shelter inside bathrooms, lockers, and closets. They didn't know if this was their last day in this world.
Aleksander Antonov's plan to create a unified federation of states which would destroy any barriers between rivaling countries led to the bombings in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Antonov proposed a utopia where each nation contributed to the goal of sustaining itself and others without any limitations, as the world grew near either a third world war. This was Antonov's way of making a country submit to his influence and be part of his "greater good". Now that he had sent a clear message to the Japanese government, it was all up to the highest-ranking officials to decide the next course of action. No mattering if Japan gave in or resisted, the nation had learned of the cruel and non-merciful demeanor that Antonov had on his opponents.
