**Warning: This story contains descriptions of violence. Reader Discretion is advised**

Organization House:

"Woah, they're starting evacuations in the nearby cities of Tokyo..." Zak spoke lowly, "All streets and highways are full of cars..."

Ruka and Gyonu both look at the television screen, their faces both drifting into a shocked state.

"Emergency!" Tokima burst through the door, walking at a quickened pace. Everyone looks in her direction, wondering what was happening.

"What is it?" Ruka asked with worried curiosity, still wondering where Nitaru is.

"Akujin is about to release a full-scale attack on Tokyo, and she attacked Kyoto...but the Kyoto Division of the Organization is dealing with it." Tokima replied in a shaky but determined voice.

"She's actually doing it?" Heizu replied in a shocked state, not expecting Akujin's planned attack on Tokyo.

Gyonu quickly responded to Heizu, "She hasn't pulled something like this in a while, but nothing compares to what she's about to do at this scale..."

"Do we have to prepare?" Zak asks, watching the television channel as cars line every street in the metropolitan area of Tokyo. The desperation to leave the city is imminent to them.

"What plans do you have, Tokima?" Akito questions, "Is there any way to counter this attack...with our limited numbers?"

Tokima stands there, conflicted as to what to do next. Her heartbeat quickens as she is pressured to come up with a solution that is most effective against Akujin and her servants.

"If transportation is cut off, we'll have to enter Tokyo through the sky," Tokima looks at the sky from the window, seeing the dark clouds rolling in from the southern part of the city, "No matter the condition of the weather, we have to do this."

All of them consider the idea, knowing there's no time to execute a master plan. Akito and Ezra stand up from the kitchen table, walking over to the rough wooden crate in the corner of the living room.

"Grab me a crowbar!" Akito demands Ezra, in which she disperses and runs towards the storage closet. Miss stepping, she trips onto the floor. Everyone looks at her, but Ezra gives a thumbs up in reassurance to everyone.

"What about Nitaru?" Ruka asks in a worried manner.

Tokima glances at the clock that continues to tick on the wall, trying to ponder a response to Ruka's question.

Sighing, Tokima responds, "We'll have to continue the mission without him...he is insanely powerful, but we will have to adapt to the strength we all have," Tokima looks at every one of them, "Because us, as Assassins, we must complete our duty to do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of millions of civilians."

Everyone scrambles to prepare for the incoming attacks, grabbing an abundance of magical dust, ammo, and withering flowers, which enhance the strength and agility of whoever consumes the flowers. Additionally, Zak prepares several weapons for everyone; including swords, daggers, artillery machine guns, and a malevolent gun that is specifically made to use against Akujin, since most of her moves and motives are unknown.

Tokima opens the crate with the help of Akito. Inside of the crate were new uniforms, high quality and durability against enemy fire and attacks.

"We'll use these uniforms, so that we're protected and guarded at least for a while," Tokima states, handing out the uniforms one by one to everyone. She sees Nitaru's uniform as the last one in the square box and sighs, leaving it folded in the crate.

"Everyone, we're leaving in twenty minutes in order to get to the aircraft in time, especially with this traffic!" Gyonu yelled for everyone to hear while everyone scurries to prepare.

The clouds outside rumbled and cracked violently with lightning, as if the weather knew what was about to unfold in the next hour. 

Tokima began to get worried, sitting on the edge of her futon as she tried to calm herself down. She pondered about the possible situations that can happen to her and the Assassins when they land in Tokyo. Trying to shake the thoughts away only made it creep in her mind, peering through all her thoughts and becoming the main thought that she worries most about. Her anxiety was through the roof, though her complexion didn't show any sign of it all. She was a master of concealing her feelings, so no one worries about Tokima. With a sense of determination, she stands up, looking into the mirror. Her cape draped to her inner knees, her hair tied into a ponytail, and her weapons on each hip. She was physically ready, but was she mentally? She spent all her time as the head of the Organization to put an end to Akujin, planning carefully every possible obstacle that could block her path. But now that it's really happening, would all those situations matter if she was on the brink of death? Tokima breathed in and out slowly, before reaching for the doorknob and stepping outside of her room, closing the door with a light shut. She felt weird, as if this wasn't real, but it was beyond real. It was all coming too quickly, and she felt like even after all the years she prepared, she still wasn't ready. "Would I ever be ready?" She thought to herself as she walked towards the stairs that led to the main floor. Everyone was at the door, ready to leave for the aircraft as she came downstairs.

"Are you ready, Tokima?" Heizu asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice but a convincing determined look in his eyes.

Tokima nods, "Let's go, we don't have much time to waste."

Akito opens the door for all of them to exit, one by one stepping into the outside pavement, slowly darkening as the sun begins to be covered by the monstrous clouds in the sky. As everyone finally exits, Akito closes the door of their temporary headquarters. The door clicks shut, and Akito locks it with the golden key.

"Everyone, get in the carrier truck!" Gyonu yells, opening the large metal door of the truck.

Yuja nodded, "Thanks Gyonu again...for driving the carrier." 

Ryota added to what Yuja said, "Yeah, no one else is brave enough to drive when there's something at that measure that can happen at any time."

"Anytime," Gyonu smiled before they both went into the truck. 

The streets were surprisingly empty, maybe since the police department stepped in and directed the traffic to quickly evacuate. As soon the door was closed, Gyonu started the car and revved the engine. Pressing the acceleration pedal, Gyonu began to drive on the deserted roads, trying to navigate to the destination of the aircraft. It was only a matter of time before Akujin would attack Tokyo at full scale.

————— (NITARU)

I looked at the Tokyo skyscrapers from a far, seeing that he is in close vicinity of the city. My eyes ached with anguish, and I just wanted pure revenge. It was going to happen, just wait until I find you Akujin..Just wait...
