After some time of walking, they arrived at the four meters high chain-link fencing with a chain-link double door that was locked with a padlock. Makoto looked at the padlock and appears to realize something
"This padlock also looks newer"
Shu's expression turned astonished
"Looks like someone is frequenting come here"
Their expressions turned serious, they then opened this door by force and then walked closer to the large dam building in front of them. Makoto gave a hand signal to stop, they then hid with alert behind a tree. Makoto observed forward using binoculars and saw most of the part in the direction of this large dam that he could see from the binoculars. Sometime later, Makoto finished observing with a surprised facial expression
"There is no movement, we can continue"
The others nodded and they then walked away from here.
They arrived at a large concrete curved dam with a straight suspension bridge in front of it which connects the right and left ends of this dam. The water from the dammed river appears to flow normally from the dam forming some waterfalls. Yukari looked curious
"This dam seems to still function well"
Ken nodded
"Right, even though it is worn out, everything is still in a fairly well-maintained state"
Shu looked around the dam, he then appears to realize something
"This dam is owned by the government and it should not be fully abandoned, Fujiyama gave us instructions to go to this place, we must investigate it"
The others appeared to agree. They walked on the sidewalk on the outskirts of this dam near a ravine by the river with a short concrete wall as a fence, they then arrived at the steel double door entrance of this dam that was not far from zig-zag stairs that lead to the upper and below part of the dam.
Makoto checked this door and found a button panel next to this door to enter the password to unlock and open it
"Looks like this door is locked electrically with a password..."
Makoto tried to press the button on this panel, but there are no respond
"There are other problems, the password lock mechanism is not working without electric power”
Ken appeared to realize something
"Means there are two things we have to do, restore the necessary electric power and find a password to unlock the door"
Shu nodded
"Alright then, we divided into two teams, I am with Yukari and Makoto with Ken. Anyone who finds one or both of those two things can execute it immediately and then tell another team"
They all appeared to agree with this. They dispersed, Makoto and Ken ascended the stairs heading to the above part of the dam, while Yukari and Shu descended the stairs heading to the below front part of the dam.
Back to Makoto and Ken's team. They ascended the stairs and arrived at the top of the dam, there are several small storage buildings containing inactive generators, a short concrete wall as a fence, and a bridge in the middle of the dam right above the waterfall. They checked into one of these small storage buildings, inside it there are rusty generators which have large electric coils and large electric fusions on top of it. Makoto looked at Ken
“Let's figure out how to turn on these generators Ken”
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Ken's expression turned slightly confused, he then nodded. Makoto and Ken checked these generators, to find a way how to turn them on. Sometime later, Makoto appeared to realize something
"Generators like this will not turn on from here alone, there must be a power plant"
Ken appears to realize something
"Something like that might be near the dam waterfall?"
Makoto nodded
"You're right, let’s check on there"
Makoto and Ken then walk out of this generator storage building.
They went back to trace the dam and arrived at the middle of this dam building which is flowed by water that ends into a dam waterfall with a few tunnels that have a bridge above it. There are a few large turbines to take power from the river flow inside each of these tunnels. However, all of these turbines are hanging above the river, Makoto and Ken watched it from the end of the tunnel. Makoto's expression turned confused
"There must be a mechanism needed to lower the turbine into the river flow"
Ken looked around curiously and saw a rotary lever made of steel and a gear arrangement at another end of the tunnel
"There’s a rotary lever there"
Ken said while pointing to the place he meant, Makoto appeared to immediately realize it.
Makoto and Ken then walk toward another end of this tunnel and descended the stairs here, to reach the rusty-looking rotary lever below. Makoto tried to rotate this rotary lever, but its rusty state made it jammed. Ken tried to help Makoto rotate this rotary lever but it only rotate a little. Makoto and Ken stopped their actions with a little shortness of breath
"This rotary lever is too rusty and making it jammed"
Ken nodded
"It seems we have to find another way, Grandpa"
Shortly thereafter, something crawled from the bridge near the tunnel above them. Makoto and Ken who realized the foreign presence near them immediately look up, and appeared that the large centipede Yokai they had previously faced now creeping and wrapped around on this connecting bridge. Seeing this, Ken and Makoto were surprised.
From the bridge above them, a giant centipede Yokai the size of seven meters long looked at Ken and Makoto below it. Ken and Makoto took out their Yokai weapons respectively from their scabbards, then entered stances ready to attack and defend. Ken concentrated
“Come Asanuma!”
Pillars of black smoke began to billow from the glove puppet Asanuma. Seeing that, the centipede Yokai immediately pounced toward Ken. Black smoke began to spread rapidly, from behind it Asanuma the size of three meters high pounced forward and collide violently with the centipede Yokai’s attack causing a strong wind blast.
Asanuma pushed the centipede Yokai to hit the concrete wall behind it and cracked the wall. The centipede Yokai tried to clamp Asanuma's neck with its mandible which resembles twin long curved swords. The centipede’s Yokai body then wrapped around Asanuma and pushed him down. Ken and Makoto immediately ran towards the centipede Yokai and then slashed various parts of its body and causing deep but meaningless scratches on its body. The centipede Yokai raised its body and threw Asanuma to the opposite side of the river in the tunnel here narrowly missed hitting the turbine and only hit a nearby wall.
The centipede Yokai appeared annoyed then growled white smoke began to billow from all over its body. His body and legs began to be covered in shiny black and bluish armor with sturdy carvings, its mandible which resembles twin long curved swords also began to be covered in the same armor lining along the convex parts that were thicker than these twin swords, and enlarged two times than before now with a size of fourteen meters long. The centipede Yokai stood up, its body appeared to be towering so that it far exceeded the height of the tunnel building and bridge at the top of the dam. Makoto and Ken looked surprised, Makoto said
“Again, that Yokai entered armor mode”
Asanuma appeared furious to see the centipede Yokai
“It's hard to deal with if it's like that”
The centipede Yokai pounced towards Asanuma but Asanuma can evade it quickly, causing the centipede Yokai's attack only hit and shatter the concrete floor where Asanuma was standing before he evaded. Saw an opportunity to strike back, Asanuma pounced on the Yokai's head and bump it so hard that they both fell into a river before the tunnel, and water splashed everywhere. Makoto and Ken immediately moved to a safe place.
The centipede Yokai's body was carried away by a fairly swift water current, bringing its head so that it hit hard and destroyed the connecting bridge which he had previously wrapped around, and the centipede Yokai drifted into the river inside the tunnel and almost fell into a waterfall several meters after the tunnel. The centipede Yokai threw and crashed its head into Asanuma and made him fall, causing Asanuma to almost drowned and be swept away by the river current.
The centipede Yokai stabilized his position, and Asanuma immediately grapples with the centipede Yokai whose size is larger than him. It didn't take long, Asanuma was pressed and his attack even only scratched the centipede Yokai's armor. The centipede Yokai again strangled Asanuma with its mandible and then lifted Asanuma high. The centipede Yokai threw Asanuma strongly and sent him flying far away then hit the suspension bridge in front of the dam, causing the railing to be crushed and partially thrown. Luckily, Asanuma was able to immediately hold on to the bridge and not fall although he looks a little in pain. Seeing that, the centipede Yokai located on and across the suspension bridge looked intently at Asanuma and was ready to attack him again.
