"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!", exclaimed Tsujii Shinataro. Tsujii was driving an Isuzu Box Truck and approached a checkpoint that blocked the bridge into Shikoku. He wanted to turn around but couldn't since there was traffic due to the checkpoint. Most cars and trucks got through quickly however.

He kept pulling up towards the checkpoint and before he reached it, he realized he had forged papers to show the checkpoint guards. After waiting for five minutes, he made it to the checkpoint and was told to pull off due to the truck size. He pulled forward and parked the truck. "Any documentation?" asked a guard. Tsujii nodded and handed the paper. The guard scrutinized the paper over and over. The guard looked up at him and handed the paper back. "You're through to go. Move along." said the guard as he walked away from the truck.

As the guard was walking away, when we was about 7 meters away, he heard a thump from the truck and looked back at the truck to see what happened. He looked at Tsujii to see if it wasn't just him hearing a random thump. Tsujii's face told him everything. The guard raised his weapon and told Tsujii to step out of the truck. Tsujii quickly started the truck and attempted to make a break for it. He rammed through a guard post which was answered by gunshots, guards shooting at the truck. The original guard called ahead. "Code Black, repeat Code Black!", he exclaimed.

Before Tsujii could make it to Shikoku, the military from the other side of the bridge was in formation, ready to fire. Tsujii slammed on the breaks and stopped the truck about 20 meters away from the blockade of soldiers. "Step out of the vehicle, you will be detained." said a soldier over a loudspeaker. Tsujii thought to himself and decided to step out. "Turn around, someone will come to detain you. Do not try to run or you will be shot." said the voice. Tsujii closed his eyes and turned around, listening to stay alive.

No guard moved from their position. A soldier was given an aim signal and then raised his weapon as he looked down the sights. He was aiming for the knee. He was then given another signal. He aimed and shot. Tsujii collapsed to the ground, shot through the heart.

A group of soldiers walked over to the truck and opened it up. Inside was 75 people who had been kidnapped. "What do we do?" asked a soldier. "We see what the guy wanted with them, then we report it directly to the Grand High Minister." answered another. The first soldier pointed to a man that appeared to be in this mid-thirties. "Any reason you were taken?" he asked. The man shook his head to show he didn't know. The soldier continued to ask until he got to a fifteen year old boy. The boy answered.

"I heard him talking about how his group needed soldiers and how they didn't have enough on the island so they needed kidnapped us to fight for them." he said, shakily. "Who is 'them'?" asked the soldier. "Something to do with fascists, I think." said the boy in a confused tone. The soldier look the other and nodded. "We have what we need. Call units in to clear these people, the truck, and that body. Call us a unit to the Grand High Minister Tower in Yokohama." he said. The other soldier nodded and spoke into his radio.
