Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 15, H.O.T.D 2

On this night there was not a spec of light to be found and the winds were powerfully blowing throughout Tokonosu City. Everything was shrouded in a blanket of darkness except only a few select areas within the city. The manor of the Takagi's, the barracks of the Walking Dead Unit, the compounds of the 5 Military Heads, the Mayor's office, the police department, the border patrol watching out for stray zombies and Mutant Beast wondering into the city, and lastly a few homes of important individuals. Tokonosu City had acquired a steady flow of power to keep the city operational very early on, but it wasn't so abundant to allow everyone access to electricity at all hours of the day 24/7, and this is what allowed a few elite units to move about unnoticed in the middle of the night as everyone slept.

The Takagi's military forces spread out through the city towards their own individual targets awaiting for the time to simultaneously strike. This operation was being lead by the Supreme Commander himself, alongside his wife. Lastly there was Team Japan and the Walking Dead Unit. They rode four modified Humvees, followed by eight large transport vehicles painted black each loaded with fifteen elite soldiers, totaling 120. Their destination were the four priority targets. The 5 Military Heads had conflicts of interest with one another on most occasions, including with the Saya's parents. Therefore they didn't share the same residence as one military. The distance between each compound they set up stretched a few kilometers apart and City Hall where the Mayor worked and lived in was at the center of the city, so it was impossible to stay together any longer, and so-

Shin SL: (...We're splitting up here. Everyone, good luck!)

Shin relayed his order with Hikari's Soul Link to the leaders of each attack force, and they split up taking with them two cars of soldiers.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Just outside the compound of Commander A.

The strike team consisted of Takashi, Shizuka-sensei, Aqua, Shuai and Drake, and thirty elite soldiers under their command. Numerically they were not equipped to launch an assault on a military compound with over 2,500 soldiers armed with the best modern weaponry had to offer, yet what they lacked in quantity they more than made up with quality. Also, they held the element of surprise and with the frightening advantage of Hikari's scans it was more than enough to launch a sneak attack with the objective of killing Commander A. They were the first to reach their target while the others were just 5-10 minutes away from reaching their own destinations. A few minutes later after the phone lines were cut, Takashi's team was given the go-ahead to attack first and were now allowed to make us of Hikari's Psyche Force abilities in full.

Shizuka-sensei: "I can't help but feel that I'm not needed here. If things go as planned then no one will get hurt."

Takashi: "The enemy will and that's where you'll come in sensei. We don't want to kill everyone if we can help it since we need every able body man and women to fight against the approaching Zombie Legion. Commander A has the largest force next to Saya's father army of 4500 trained soldiers, so when we were arranging teams Saya and that Jin fellow both suggested that this is where you're most needed. Well kill those that get in our way and beat down the rest till they surrender. Afterwards you're job is to keep them alive."

Aqua: "Though like she said, she will hardly be needed here. Shuai's abilities will render the enemy all but useless once he gets going. With that said, Shuai, are you ready to go?"

Shuai: "All good. To cast the spell I'll need three minutes of uninterrupted peace to chant the aria in full. Just one if I am in Unlocked Mode to chant at high speed, but if I miss a single word or pronounce it incorrectly I'll have to start all over again and I also won't get back my spent energy. Ahhhh, I also can't have Gnome out as it is too draining, so I don't feel safe at all."

Aqua: "That's why we are launching a sneak attack in the dead of night with us protecting you. Takashi and I will handle the rest, so you don't even need to fight, so get to chanting!"

Shuai didn't like Aqua's demanding tone and was pitying Shin who was attracted to such a woman. Now putting such thought aside he started up his spell. Entering Unlocked Mode he sat down in a meditating sitting posture and balanced his Evil Sealing Staff of Earth in his hands which increased his shaman powers. As Shuai began to chant an unrecognizable aria in a low, yet fast pace in the First Stage, Spiritual Powerful from within his body flowed out and seeped into the earth. This energy drew in dark yet harmless spirits nearby in mass and traveled towards the center of the military compound unnoticed by patrolling guards.

Shuai: "...Ghost Frenzy!"

Sixty seconds then passed. The aria was complete and once the spells named was released into the world there was a reaction from within the military compound where the Spiritual Power was gathered and formed into a large cluster. The cluster grew bigger and bigger and finally burst open. Over a thousand specter-like beings, actual ghost flew out in all directions. These ghosts were mindless beings created from Spiritual Power, but they carried a single programmed desire to latch onto the anything moving and drain them dry, and that's exactly what they did on Shuai's command. The thousands ghost flew across the base and latched onto every patrolling soldier before they could even react, and then moved onto those off duty and resting in their bunks.

The appearance of these ghostly beings were too foreign and sudden for the soldiers to proper react. Especially those who were just fast asleep. The ghosts clung onto countless soldiers and began draining them of their life force. It was nothing extreme or fatal, yet the frightening appearance of the ghost along with their draining ability didn't allow anyone to think straight. Screams of terror from all across the compound, witn all one could make out were ghastly yells. Order was lost in an instant. The ghosts weren't powerful in the least and could be swatted away with enough force, but hardly anyone was in a state of mind to realize it.

It didn't take a full minute for the military compound to become defenseless and this was taken advantage of by the strike team. A fifteen-foot barbed fence surrounded the compound, and jumping over said fence with ease and swiftly running towards the center of the compound were Takashi and Aqua.

Aqua: "Wind Chaser!"

Aqua entered the Second Stage and with a burst of speed with the wind at her back she left Takashi completely behind as she rushed forward. Her job was to assassinate Commander A while Takashi was to bring order to the chaos within the compound. Takashi eyed each and every soldier within his sight and knocked them out with swift punches and kicks. There were, of course, those high-level Enhancers who all too easily repelled the ghost sticking to them and didn't take kindly to Takashi's one-sided massacre and fought back, and for them Takashi didn't waste any effort trying to take them alive. For those that closed in on him he swung his war hammer killing them instantly and for those trying to gun him down they were burned to ashes by Devil Flame Fireballs in a instant.

It wasn't so clear when Takashi fought almost equal battle against Shin, but he was a god amongst the average Enhancer and Evolver. Even those of a high level were ants before his might and lightning reflexes. Takashi, although some his enhancements were different, was the equivalent to Yue Zhong from the original "God and Devil World". Mostly likely even stronger in direct combat as his unlocked Mode gave him better combat techniques, power, and instincts than anyone in the original "God and Devil World" at this stage of the apocalypse. Of course, the Yue Zhong of this world in the modified plot may be more than a monster in battle than his original self.

Just as it looked like no one could stop his rampage a sniper from afar locked onto him. Takashi was fighting so openly that the sniper sneered at him, thinking of him as an all too easy target to put a bullet into, yet the results were far from what he expected. Takashi never much a glanced in his direction, but he side stepped the bullet that should have splattered his brain matter onto the ground. Takashi then took out a rifle for his dimensional ring, and with an inferior gun and impossible accuracy in the darkness of the night, without taking aim just fired once and opened up a hole between the eyebrows of the snipers head.

Takashi SL: (Hahaha! Too unfair! When you know where to find all the troublesome snipers waiting to ambush you, war just becomes a game for us high-level Enhancer and Evolvers! All if not most of the advantages from relying on modern warfare dry up with the introduction of one Psyche Force user. Hey, how about joining the Walking Dead Unit, Hikari?)

Hikari SL: (Am I being hit on? Sorry. I've already been defiled in both body and soul and forced into my otaku leaders harem, so I must refuse.... Ah, not that I was actually forced or anything, but sorry I'm a one man lady, Takashi. Shin's also cooler than you and has some good points... underneath a mountain of otaku culture. Now enough joking around. There are a few guys few waiting to ambush you inside the tank three hundred meters to your left. They are pretending that it's unmanned. Take care of it.)

Takashi SL: (I wasn't trying to... Forget it. I'm on it!)

Then as Takashi was dealing with the tank, Aqua had reached within the range of her target, Commander A, hiding within his living quarters. Standing before Aqua was a reinforced building which could withstand even missiles. Hikari's scans had revealed over two dozen strong Enhancers who freed themselves from Shuai's ghost and positioned themselves to protect Commander A hiding within his room. Some more throughout the building as well. Aqua was a close range fighter and as such, infiltrating the building and killing Commander A wasn't impossible for her, but there was a chance he could escape out the back by throwing the numerous Enhancers at her.

Aqua: "Then let's tear down the whole damn thing!"

Aqua smiled frighteningly with glee as she reached behind her back for the RPG Bag and retrieved a two-meter long sci-fi rifle with a sleek design. The Multiple Barrel EMP Rifle. She flipped a switch and a deep blue flare of EMP light shone out of the barrels as they began to rotate and from the bottom air was released pushing the rifle up and steady. This was one of the weapons Team Japan were afraid to show off due to its overwhelming power that was attractive enough for others to try and steal, but with the alliance with the main characters and Saya's parents there was no need to hold back anymore. The EMP Rifle unleashed countless bullets the size of needles towards the reinforced building that failed to live up to its name in front EMP Rifle. Tiny slices and cuts appeared across the walls of the building and almost instantly everyone inside including Commander A and his guards was shredded before they knew what happened. Then moments later the entire building collapsed from the damage it suffered.

Aqua: "Wow! This EMP Rifle is cheating when you can let lose in a modern setting. I've seen this gun cut through alloy plates before, but the destructiveness is out of this world."

Hikari SL: (Aqua! Some men are escaping! They heading north out of the compound in jeeps filled with heavy artillery. Chase after them!)

Aqua SL: (Why go that far for trash. Isn't this why I have that summoning skill. Lunar Wolf Pack!)

Aqua bent down and slammed her right palm onto the ground with a *PA!*. Moments later a magic circle with a illustration of the moon at the center appeared around her and shadowy figures with inhuman forms crept from the magic circle. There were thirty of them and they looked like wolves with dark fur at first glance, but were far too big and muscular to be normal wolves. They were at least three times the size of normal wolves with a mutant like atmosphere to them.

Aqua: "There are a lot of you cute guys, but for a B rank reward and close to ten thousand points you only have about 3 times the power and speed of normal wolves. Don't make me regret getting this skill and get to work. Kill those escaping to the north and bring back their heads!"

Aqua gave a cold order that the shadow wolves not only couldn't disobey, but were pleased to follow and set off. Their speed was spectacular as they gave chase after the Jeep and in less than two minutes they caught up and attacked. The lead shadow wolf pounced on the driver bitting off his neck before he saw the wolf approach. The Jeep then crashed into abandoned car left on the way side of the road and the passengers in the back not wearing seat belts fell out of the car hard. They all either died on impact or had broken spines and would no longer be able to walk, but that was irrelevant here and now as the shadow wolves showed no mercy. They pounced on the weak and screaming soldiers on the ground and tore them apart. Aqua was connected to the her summons mentally and seeing what they had done was pleased... till they began to literally bring back the heads of the dead to her and she canceled the summoning.

Hikari SL: (That was too gruesome for words to describe. Just what does Shin see in a brute like you anyways?)

Aqua SL: (Who knows, but Hikari, do we NEED to have a talk about respecting your elders who can XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXX? I think I'll have the time later if you like to-)

Hikari SL: (Everything looks to be wrapped up here! Hahaha! Shuai has recalled his ghosts and Takashi and the soldiers you've brought along are apprehending those that surrendered. The strike team attacking Commander B is starting their mission, so... got to go!)

Aqua laughed loudly hearing Hikari cut the link between with parting words she would have expected from Shin... but she stopped laughing and joined the others once the idea she too was being infected by that otaku as well.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Inside the military compound of Commander B.

Within Commander B's personal office the lights were dimmed low and scented candles filled the room. He was not alone as he looked on with a smile at dozen women crawling on the floor. They were all top level beauties who he never have had the chance to lay his hands on before the apocalypse, but now it was different. On his say so and rarely with coercion would women wear tight see through lingerie or stick out their buts for him. He watched the scene of the women with an all too big smile and from a table picked up from a plate a delicious steak dripping with fat and sauces and then threw it on the floor. Commander B then watched as the women crawled with a speed surpassing animals towards the food and begin to fight over it. It didn't need to be said how degrading this all was, but even when thrown on the floor it was impossible to come by meat after the apocalypse, not just any meat but meat from a type 2 mutant beast cow, so they didn't hesitate to fight over this meal and even resulted in a bloody struggle. Commander B knew this and loved to watch his pets fight it out, but soon growing bored he told them to stop and line up... but of course still on all for and with their butts sticking towards him.

Commander B: "... Hmm. I really don't get it. I must be strange. Why on some night I forbid my pets to wear undergarments, but on days like today I get off with the mystery of cloth over their loose holes which they would spread for a meat bun? Truly a mystery. Hey, you bitches! Half of you take off your damn panties already so I can think this through! Damn whores, I can't even get it up with such lousy..."

- *BANG*!!!

- *EXPLOSION*!!!

Commander B and his guest were currently residing in his personal office which was well defended and rested in a fortified building, yet in an instant everyone within the office was killed in a resulting explosion of a enemy attack. Not just the office, the entire top half of building was blasted away by a cannon ball from the distance. The soldiers standing guard nearby and everyone else within the compound were on high alert and had become vigilant still not knowing if their boss was alive, and yet there was nothing they could do to defend themselves. They could only burn.

A child soldier of middle eastern descent was crouched down and aiming a large and overbearing rifle dyed in an aura. Under the boy's dirty blonde hair were almost unnoticeable small white horns radiating with yellow light and stimulating the Trion within his body. Trion Energy along with a malicious red Demonic Power flowed together and into the Ibis Trigger grasped in his hands, and *BANG*, another shot was released. An orange cannon ball forged from Demonic Power and Trion flew through the skies and smashed through the wall of a building.

This particular building housed the deceased Commander B's strongest experts. High-level Enhancers and Evolvers as well as elite soldier if given the chance could wipe Team Japan with their power and coordinated military might, yet everyone inside the building and those close by just rushing out were taken out. Swallowed up in a large blast which claimed over 90% of their expert's lives and crippling 5% more who were unable to continue fighting with blown off arms, legs, and serious third-degree burns. The child soldier, Connor's comrades Saeko, Kisara and Saya watching by his side were stunned by his display of power. Connor alone could be called a tactical weapon who could turn the tides of any small to medium sized conflict at this point. Even Connor himself was secretly in awe of his own power. This was different from Aqua and her EMP Rifle sci-fi weapon. Through a true combination of enhancements alone he has surpassed a level of destructive physical potential a single human should be allowed to possess. It still wasn't anything too outrageous, but he had certainty reach a level of power impossible with modern weapons, guns and cannons, and had entered the realm of sci-fi weapons with enhancements alone.

Connor SL: (...A-Class Trigger, Trion Receptor Horn Implant, and Demonic Argumentation spell. It's almost at the level of the "CANNON" from the Manga.)

Kisara SL: (You shouldn't look so disappointed Connor. The Trion Receptor Horn and A-Class Trigger vastly increase your Trion Energy to new heights. You already have the highest destruction power in our team, so feel proud. And Shin made me watch that Anime three times... so I can say confidently that you're close. I'm sure that once you get the Demon Mutation to B tier or higher you'll more than surpass Takakoma's Cannon!)

Hikari SL: (...I thought I was done for after getting involved with Shin, but you're no goodness is at a whole other level. Even your soul has been tainted!)

Saya: "...I don't even want to know what you're going on about, but stop it! We're in the middle of a mission! Connor, stop bombarding the compound. You destructive power is too high and we won't capture, ah, no, I mean recruit any soldiers like this. Hikari's scans show most of the soldiers have grown scared and are not daring to move, so you've done enough. Connor, use a less powerful weapon and snipe those trying to escape."

Connor: "..."

Connor with a silent nod recalled the Ibis Trigger and replaced it with the Eaglet Rifle Trigger and began to run off into the darkness of the surrounding area. His steps weren't too fast yet as he activated Silent Approach his movement speed picked up, and as if he was melting into the darkness of the night he quickly disappeared visually from his comrades sights and even his foot steps were perfectly masked.

Saeko: "...How chilling. A skilled sniper with the ability to destroy reinforced military building, can stealthy move about where even I cannot perceive him with my eyes alone, and has the Unlocked Mode as well. If he can match a super sniper like Kohta as well he would be a troubling foe to take out, especially so with the support of his team and someone like Hikari who can help him locate his targets and warn him of enemies attempting to close in from any possible direction."

Saya: "Then we should be thankful to the Saint for our good fortune of coming to an alliance with them. Anyways, it's time to clean up! I'll put on a show with my magic, so you and Kisara take out those who resist. If we do this right, we can capture more than 80% of the deceased Commander B's military might!"

Saeko: "Understood."

Kisara: "Then let's end this battle."

Saya then walked out of the darkness she was hiding in along with Saeko and Kisara by her side. These three beauties lead thirty soldiers for reserve to use. The panicking soldiers were startled by their appearance and recognizing Saya and Saeko, it all made sense. The Walking Dead Unit was famous and Saya herself was the only daughter of Supreme Commander Souichiro Takagi. It was clear why they were being attacked, and as they about to respond with violence, a loud screech scrapped against their ears. More than half of them fell to the floor covering their ears while the other half, Enhancers over Levels 30 withstood the pain and saw Saya with a raised hand releasing magic sound waves, and using those sound waves she amplified her voice.

Saya: "I'm Saya Takagi!!! Member of the Walking Dead Unit and daughter of Tokonosu City's supreme commander! Throw down your weapons and surrender now or be killed by bombardment like your boss! Choose!!!"

Saya possessed a naturally powerful voice and when amplified by magic it became even more so. She even used the earlier destruction caused by Connor to increase her leverage in an already one sided negotiation. One by one soldiers began to throw down their weapons and surrendered as she asked. Saya was pleased, yet she saw more than a few high-level experts among the deceased Commander B's forces, over two dozen of them had not backed down. They aimed their assault rifles at her and releasing a rain of bullets down on Saya and those by her side, yet to their shock the bullets never reached her. Saya simply waved her hands activating a Psychic Barrier Skill and the rain of bullets floated in the air and were immediately dispersed by the barrier. The experts continued to shoot at her, yet no matter the angle not one bullet reach her, Kisara, Saeko, ot the soldiers behind them.

Elite Expert: "Fucking freak! Go get in close range and cut off their arms and legs. Don't kill them though, hahahah! We haven't gotten to play around with such beauties in a good while! Get them!"

Saya: "Why do all the men we come across go one about xxxxxxx us? Its a cliche at this point. Saeko, Kisara, I'm done dealing with them. Dispose of the trash for me."

Saya with a look of disgust turned her back without a care in the world to the experts now wielding Taichi Blades charging at her. She hadn't really let down her guard and was prepared to kill them with a lethal spell, but that was unnecessary because they made the most foolish choice. They made the mistake of not running away, but instead move in for close combat with those two present.

Saeko: "Overconfidence is a man's prerogative, but know that some women are forever out of your reach, scum!"

Saeko welcoming the battle of men wanting nothing more than to kill and violate her drew her katana eagerly, a Level 4 Treasure of the God and Devil System. Her eyes grew sharp, yet vacant entering Unlocked Mode and she showed a sadistic bright smile as the experts approached. Her body than began to glow as she activated a skill exclusive to a Lightning Samurai Hidden Class, Divine Lightning Gift. Streaks of electricity radiated from her whole body from the top of he long purple hair to the tips of her toes. Pure power flowed through her veins which was nothing less than ecstasy. Saeko entered fully into the Second Stage for the greatest power and speed, and as she took that first step forward, she vanished from everyone's vision. Different from Connor's Silent Approach skill this wasn't invisibility, but pure unrestrained speed. The earth cracked open with a burst of electricity with each step Saeko took. Just three seconds passed and over a dozen experts found themselves decapitated with cauterized wounds stopping their bleeding. Not a spec of blood could be found on her katana pulsating with electricity, but as if it were an unconscious action she swiped her katana in the air as if to remove the blood from it and returned her sword to its sheath.

Saeko: "I left ten for you Kisara. Will you-"

Kisara: "Double Accel! Tempest Turn!"

As Saeko called out to Kisara the battle was already decided. Kisara seeing Saeko's godly sword skill and speed felt overwhelmed, but more so a burning competitive spirit within her soul. For Shin's sake and more so for her own goals she wished to be the strongest swordsman and seeing Saeko in action was compelled to not lose to her. She couldn't do anything about the Second Stage, but at least in sword skill she didn't want to lose. Kisara entered the Unlocked Mode of the First Stage and used the next level of Accel Turn in combination of Tempest Turn. With speed far surpassing any member of her team she sprinted forward with inhuman acceleration. There was barley a trace of her to be seen, yet from there she spit up into ten after images that rushed for each remaining expert.

None could even react to Kisara speed after acquiring the Heroic Stigmata Implant and other enhancements, and not even able to blink an eye as she closed in she slashed each expert with a katana. Each expert were strong body Enhancers wearing the armor of type 1 or 2 mutant beasts, yet her B tier sword Shusui reinforced with Middle-Class Nen effortlessly slashed through their armor, flesh and bones without any resistance to be felt. This was not something even Saeko herself could achieve, so watching Kisara's moments with sharp eyes she was not just impressed... but interested in her. Not as a target of sexual attraction or as a fellow swordsman, but...

Kisara: "!!!"

Kisara jumped away from where she stood frightened. She unmistakably felt a wave of bloodlust in the air and its source came from-

Kisara: "..."

Saya: "Hey, I called over the soldiers to help with the surrender of the guys here and, I just heard from papa and mama. The purge his going well in the city. We just need to keep watch here till they arrive to help us process these guys."

Saeko: "That's great. I wonder how Takashi, Rei, and the others are doing."

Kisara: "..."

Kisara losing her chance to address that feeling of bloodlust could only stay silent and help out.
