Chapter 3
Back to the cruise ship, everyone is started to check foods to survive in a few weeks or months on a stranded island. Some passengers have volunteers to guard the ships to armed themselves if they have encountered hostile habitats on the island. The crews are doing their work to check every engine that is still functional during the heavy storm. In the kitchen, Persia & Mamina are helping the chefs to make foods for the passengers to survive for each day however it will be long before the food supplies will run out and if that happens, they will have to find more food at the wilderness.
At the bridge room, Jack tried to check if he gets a call from Japan or other country nearby to rescue them but no avail. He putting down a telephone and sigh to see no luck for him and his passengers on the ship to be rescued. He put his fingers on the bridge of nose need to think for another solution. His co-captain came to him with his concern expression.
Co-captain: Sir, is everything okay?
Jack: Nope. We have no luck to conduct them from other countries. Looks like we're stuck here.
Co-captain: Eeyup. It seems like it.
Jack: I wonder how Itami and the others doing in the wilderness. I hope they won't get into trouble.
...
Itami: Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!
He wandering around the circle, causing him to be worried about the imperial Japanese soldiers who are fought in WW2. To others, they have to wonder how they survive for so long on the island after the war. Rory, Lelei, Yao, Tuka & Delilah have heard the history of WW2. They have been reading about how the WW2 starts, Poland took over by both Nazi Germany & Soviet Union, France being annexed by Nazi Germany, Japan bombed the US navy at Hawaii, war between US and Japan, concentration camp for axis powers, war criminals by both Nazi Germany & Japan, Soviet union being invaded by nazi army, US took over the beach in Norway by the following of D-Day, US & France resistance take back France, Fascist Italy being defeated first then following by Nazi Germany, Hitler committed suicide in the bunker & US bombed two cities of Japan to end the war. They have seen the history that Japan has done to commit war crimes in China and the concentration camps towards prisoners. But they don't blame them 'cause they're not what they used to be. Now, they are very concern that imperial Japanese remnants are here on the island and they could be hiding somewhere. As for Itami's friends, they check the WW2 weapons that were used by Japanese and it may be useful for them. Itami still panicking of what happened today, he felt nervous about how many survivors of IJA soldiers are stranded here in this island waiting for strike soon. He calms down and he said to others.
Itami: Okay... Let's not panic that we just shot the former IJA soldiers here on this island.
Kuribayashi: Oh thank you, captain obvious.
Tomita: I don't understand. How these men are still young age after so long years. Do you think...
Yanagida: We don't know, Tomita. These guys may be doing something around this place like doing some kind of experiment.
Lelei: You mean magic?
Kurokawa: There's no magic in this world.
Lelei: But what if it is magic here.
Yanagida: Still no evidence whether it's magic or not. Well, until the gate appears in Ginza square and the Empire came and attack our people.
They agreed on his statement.
Itami: We should be careful out there. There could be more of them.
Kuribayashi grabbed her weapon and with her crooked smile.
Kuribayashi: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
She said. They were about to leave the jungle when suddenly they heard multiple voices coming from nowhere.
IJA elite soldier: Asoko de nanika kikoemasu! Īkagen'ni shite!
( I hear something over there! Come on!)
Tuka: You hear that?
Mamina: Yes... Run!
They ran through the forest as IJA elite soldiers are running to chase them. They wear bandana cover their mouth with black paint face and camouflage uniforms. They keep running until they found them so they pursue them. Mamina looks back to see them chasing at them.
Mamina: We got contact!
Itami: Shit! Everyone open fire!
Itami and the others stopped and return fire at them. 3 or 4 of IJA elite soldiers got shot dead while the rest of them went to cover to the trees. Rory went to action as she ran towards them and kill them with her halberd. An IJA elite soldier tried to shoot her but Rory able to block it thanks to her halberd, she went towards him and kill him by stabbing into a chest. 2 of IJA elites throw the grenades at them and explodes but it missed. Kuribayashi and Kurokawa firing at the enemy behind the trees. One of the IJA elite came out of nowhere, going to charge at Mamina with a bayonet rifle. Mamina saw his coming so she grabbed a rifle and kick into a stomach then she stabbed him with his bayonet rifle. Lelei uses her magic to blast the tree that IJA elite at behind. Tuka shoots an arrow at an incoming IJA elite soldier. An IJA elite soldier chase after Kurokawa at the left side and then he jumps on her and pin on the ground. He's trying to hold her when Mamina has come to rescue by slicing on his throat using a machete.
Kurokawa: Thanks.
Mamina: Don't thank me yet. They still coming.
She see more IJA reinforcements are coming for them. They both regroup the others as they continue running away from them. But they are getting tired of running and they started to slowing down.
Yanagida: We're getting tired from running, Itami. We never outrun them.
Tomita: What shall we do?
Itami thinks for a minute for coming up a plan until he has an idea on his head. He tell to others.
Itami: we have to split up. Me, Kuribayashi, Tomita, Lelei, Yanagida, and Kurokawa will take to the left flank for distraction. You guys, head back to the ship and warn everyone that Imperial Japan Army are here in this island.
Tuka: Father, no! We won't leave you!
Delilah: She's right! I don't want to leave my love to be capture by those imperial soldiers!
Yanagida: As much as I hate to say it, but he's right. We have to make a diversion. Delilah, I promise I will make it alive.
Delilah: But-
Yanagida: You have to trust me.
Delilah takes a minute to think before she accept it. Itami said to Rory.
Itami: Rory, take them to safety and don't follow us, no matter what.
Rory: *groan* Fine! But you better come back in one piece or I will go find you on a dead body.
Itami: Please, this isn't a time for that.
Kuribayashi: Sir! They are gaining on us!
Itami: Right! Everyone, on me!
Itami and the others takes to the left flank of the jungle. The IJA notices they are taking to the different direction.
IJA sergeant: Go after them!
IJA soldier: But what about them?
IJA sergeant: The loyal elites will handle them. Now, come on!
The IJA soldiers went after Itami's group while remaining elite soldiers went to chase after them. They keep running while IJA elites are shooting at them when Rory turns around quickly, run towards them, and slices a whole IJA elite soldiers in the second until they are all dead.
Rory: There! They won't chase us anymore. Now let's head back to the ship.
Yao: Right!
They run back to the cruise ship to tell everyone to what they have encounter in this island and they also brought the IJA equipment, weapons, and a single helmet to show them the evidences.
...
Itami and the others still running through the jungle as they heard multiple footsteps from behind. They keep running until they are at the dead end.
Kuribayashi: Shit! It's the dead end!
Yanagida: Way to go, Itami.
Itami: Hey! How am I suppose to know where are going since we are being chased by imperial soldiers.
Kurokawa: There's no time for argument because they are almost here.
Lelei: I can use my magic to stop them.
Itami: No. They will kill us if we can do that.
Kuribayashi: So, are you saying that we're going to surrender to them?!
Tomita: I'm not sure we're going to surrender to them. Besides, they treated both civilians and prisoner of war in harsh ways.
Yanagida: Well, what choice do we have? Either kill them as many as we can until they kill us or we'll surrender so we might know what secret are they hiding and how they able to stay young after WW2 in several years ago.
Itami: Yanagida is right. It's time to surrender, even we have to be beaten so hard we'll might be okay.
Kuribayashi (thoughts): You dumb idiot.
Then, the IJA soldiers found them at the dead end and pointing their guns at the. An imperial japanese officer came in front as he pulls out his pistol at them and he said.
IJA officer: Drop your weapons and you will be spared.
Itami and the others looking at each other thinking of their choices. This caused an officer feels impatient as he shouted.
IJA officer: Drop your weapons now!
To their response, they dropped their weapons on the ground. An officer order his men to detain them. Itami and his friends were taking prisoners as the imperial Japanese soldiers puts the ropes on their wrists. The IJA soldiers are also picking up the weapons, even a magical staff which is curious for them about it. The IJA officer will take a magical staff to take a close of look and then he said to them while holding it.
IJA officer: Whose own this stick?
Lelei: I do.
An officer walks towards Lelei and then he slapped to her face really hard. Kuribayashi was going to hurt him but Tomita stopped her. Lelei stands up and face him despite he slapped her really hard. An officer spit on the ground then he said.
IJA officer: Take them to the base. He will know what are they going to do with them.
The IJA grabs Itami and the others as they marching to the IJA base for interrogation. They hope the others are okay heading to the cruise ship safety.
