Chapter 32:

Doomsday. (Part 6)

My Near-Death Is A Blessing!


-Countdown to China & Japan's Destruction: 8 Minutes-

(With the Triple Ghoul cackling in victory, civilians across Japan and China runs for their lives as their doom was minutes away. Negan stands at a nearby skyscraper at the very center of Chongqing, China, gathering enough phantasmic energy to wipe all of China off the map. Before the charging could be complete, Gao manages to find him in a matter of moments, attempting to convince Negan to hold off on China's destruction.)

"Gao: MASTER!"
"Negan: I already told you again, I'm not your master Gao. It's just Negan."
"Gao: Please! You can't destroy all of China, there are hundreds of thousands of Mercenaries still down here fighting for their lives!"
"Negan: Too bad, they shouldn't have been two faced bastards."
"Gao: WHAT ABOUT BAI?!"
"Negan: ..."
"Gao: If you destroy all of China, who's to say Bai Zhen will survive? He's gotten lucky with cheating death a few times in the past, the only reason he's even breathing is because we are accomplices to his journey!"
"Negan: ...The kid."
"Gao: Master, I will find Bai Zhen. I'm as fast as any other Mercenary in China. If I can't find him before the Triple Ghoul sets the rockets off, then I won't stop you... But you'll regret destroying China in the blink of an eye!"
"Negan: ...Tch. I will give you until the 10 second countdown."

(As Negan then halts his power on standby, he was now a powerful source located within the heart of China while Gao rushes and surges through each and every corner of the first city she encounters, searching for Bai Zhen's location as the countdown continued.)

-Countdown to China & Japan's Destruction: 6 Minutes-

(With the timer at six minutes, many civilians were managing to escape to seek shelter in nearby countries to avoid the devastation soon to come to Japan.)

-Tokyo, Japan, Location: Tokyo Mercenary Association Headquarters-

(With alarms of civil and evacuation warnings being blared out, all within the headquarters were in a panic with rampaging Ghouls left and right in nearly every city as every Mercenary in the country were called to defeat as many Ghouls as they possibly could while evacuating civilians as they possibly could. Amidst the chaos, a fist was slammed against the door of the medical rooms as it was Kokei Uesaka revealed to be returning to his feet despite still feeling multiple effects from the venomous attack.)

"Kokei: The hell is going on..?"
"Association Executive #1: Mr. Uesaka! You must evacuate Japan, quickly!"
"Kokei: Evacuate? Why's that?"
"Association Executive: #1: Didn't you hear?! In just mere minutes, the Triple Ghoul's going to turn this island into a Ghoul Hotspot, same goes for China damn it!"
"Kokei: ...Oh, I see. I'm staying here."

(With the executives in shock on his answer, he then explains why so.)

"Kokei: Unlike our ally China, we of the Japanese Mercenary Association actually follow a hidden motto: "You don't abandon the country that allowed you to be birthed to life." Despite the crap Japan has done to me before, I still am grateful for my homeland."
"Association Executive #2: B-But Uesaka, how would we have the numbers to actually stop the Triple Ghoul's rocket?!"
"Kokei: We don't need numbers."

(Kokei then kicks his sheathed sword from the ground onto his shoulder then looks around the room before he continued to speak.)

"Kokei: Did you forget what fighters Japan consists of? We have the Four Pillars of Japan on our side. Japan's 4th Pillar, Goto Hokitada, King Of The Blizzard. Japan's 3rd Pillar, Yumiko Saitori, Empress Of The Moon. Japan's 2nd Pillar, Jikouji Norikata, The Eastern Quake. And the Number One Pillar, Fulmina, Goddess Of Storms. With record timing, I've heard Yumiko returned from her vacation overseas in America, which gives us one chance to unite the four together and eradicate the Triple Ghoul's plan in one shot."

(With the scared executives now conversating, many believed that there could be hope for Japan to be saved as all in unison then bowed to Kokei out of gratitude.)

"Association Executive #1: On behalf of Tokyo's Mercenary Association Building's leader, I will hand over directive control to the Rank SS Mercenary, Uesaka Kokei! We await your orders, sir."
"Kokei: Very well. For the time being, have this entire building on lockdown, the building's defenses ready at maximum power and have a F-1 Fighter Jet above the Association's Headquarters."
"All: YES SIR!"

(With Kokei stepping out to the rooftop of the association, the search for Bai Zhen continued with multiple Mercenaries continuing their ongoing warfare against the rampaging Ghouls, along with the 15 Ghouls continuing chaos of their own. Meanwhile back in America at the hidden Military Base outside of Washington, D.C, the President arrived at a horrifying sight to see his Number #1 Mercenary, Veteran was mercilessly beaten to the brink of near death by her assailants whom then vanished.)

"Gerardo: VETERAN! ...CALL FOR A MEDEVAC, QUICK!"
"Veteran: ...P-..Pr-resident..."
"Gerardo: Veteran..! WHO did this...? Who did this to you..?!"
"Veteran: ...T-They..."

(Before she could speak any further, she then loses consciousness, slowly dying from her severe injuries as Gerado does the best he can to aid her before the evac arrived.)

-Countdown to China & Japan's Destruction: 2 Minutes-

(With the doomsday countdown entering it's final minutes, the remaining 15 Ghouls were cackling in victory over their defeat of stronger Mercenaries and knowing only two minutes remained for the destruction of the two countries as Gao desperately stretched jet streams of water across every corner, road, alley and pathway of China, searching for Bai Zhen at astonishing speeds but could not find him regardless of her abilities. Gao then resurfaces into mid-air and recollects every released stream of water.)

-Hong Kong, China, Location: Kowloon Bay-

"Gao: Bai..! Where are you..?!"
"Ben: Any luck in finding the kid..?"
"Gao: No..! He's nowhere to be found.."
"Silke: ...I can't believe this is how we're gonna die."
"Gao: Nobody is going to die..!"

(Out of desperation to get out of range, Gao then transforms herself into her Sea Serpent form.)

"Gao: Everyone, hop on my back and hang on tight!"

(With Silke. Benjamin and Jia on the backs of Gao, she then flies the three including herself as high as she could go and begins flying towards the South China Sea. Moments later, a massive barrier of light surrounds the entire country of China as all staring within the sky notices a levitating Negan Zhihao, ready to commence with his plan and eradicate the entire country off the map.)

-Chongqing, China, Location: Chongqing Business Center-

"Negan: I'm sorry Gao, I'm sorry everyone. You've all tried to look for the kid.. and it was pointless. To save the country, I must eliminate it from existence."

(With the power growing exponentially stronger than before, the doomsday clock has counted down from 10. As the number counts lower, Negan's power began to grow even stronger, slowly disintegrating numerous buildings and anything affected by its light into cinders. As the Triple Ghoul looked on, he then stares with a smirk on his face, hearing the bells from Hell ringing which indicated the countdown has ended as he finally gives the command.)

"Triple Ghoul: Launch the rockets."

(With no further response, Saul activates and activates the launch. With China suffering massive quakes and tremors underneath the Earth, Jiia whom her fight with Gonu has ended abruptly with her as the victor, looked onward at the park she previously was moving toward and notices one massive rocket erupting out of the mountains. Alerting her to immediately send an emergency SOS to all Mercenaries within China with an urgent message.)

"Jiia: ALL MERCENARIES! THE ROCKET WAS LAUNCHED, IT'S LOCATED AT LION ROCK!!"

(Afar from Shanghai, another rocket was launching as it was rising out of the very waters of Dianshan Lake, alerting more Mercenaries of the launch was the Shanghai Mercenary Association.)

"Mercenary Executive #10: ATTENTION, THERE'S A ROCKET LAUNCH EMERGING OUT OF DIANSHAN LAKE, CALLING ALL REINFORCEMENTS TO STOP THE LAUNCH!"

(With Mercenaries rushing as fast as they could to Lion Rock, none was fast enough to make it in time, including the fact Negan could release the Solar Eclipse at any moment. With Hong Kong suffering another tremor, escaping from the ground was powerful red and black colored tendrils, radiating with Ghoul energy. With Negan noticing from afar along with many other spectators, blasting out of the ground connected to the tendrils was a successfully transformed Bai Zhen from half Ghoul, into a full Ghoul. With shock on the faces of everyone including Negan, Bai then anchors himself onto the rocket with the tendrils, surprising even the Triple Ghoul himself as he did not expect Bai to ascend so quickly.)

"Bai Zhen (Power: Justice Blessing, Jet Blessing, Ghoul Spirit): TRIPLE GHOUL! I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY CHINA, YOU BASTARD!!!"
"Negan: ...KID!"
