While the Emperor is still "under the care" of the Japanese, words about a small band of men supporting the Red Army managed to break through their defenses. These men call themselves as Tin Drum. They consisted of six men but currently five due to one of them was killed during their last siege. Four Englishmen and one Japanese.
One of Amakasu's scouts informed that they found Tin Drum's hideout and Amakasu ordered to capture them. A small troop was dispatched and lucky for them, Tin Drum didn't expect Amakasu's troops arrival and successfully captured them alive. Tin Drum was tied with their mouths shut and transported to a bunker somewhere near the Emperor's main office in Tianjin.
"You'll never silence us! We will be found!". "Shut it!" said the redhead to the blond. Tin Drum was still tied but their mouths were uncovered. Few minutes later, Amakasu arrived and checked the prisoners. When he first saw Tin Drum, he whispered to one of the guards, asking if they really captured the right men. "Yes, sir. They are who called themselves as Tin Drum." The guard gave his confirmation.
"Tin Drum... you've caused a lot of trouble for the Emperor." Amakasu sneered at the group. "No, you're causing a lot of trouble!" the blond who apparently is the leader spat back. "I told you to shut it!" yelled the redhead who apparently is the second-in-command. "Should we execute them, sir?" asked the guard. "No. Not now." Amakasu halted with his hand.
"Ha! Never knew you're a coward." Said the blond, seemingly taking the last laugh. Amakasu smirked hearing it. He walked to the blond, held up his chin and said, "You're pretty... but I didn't expect you to be pretty stupid." He threw back the blond's face and inspect the rest of the members. The last member caught Amakasu's attention.
He stopped at the Japanese member and asked his name. "Sano... Sano Fuuseki.". "What are you doing?!" the rest was shocked. "You look like a fine soldier, Fuuseki." Amakasu gave his compliment. "Why would you waste it with them? Stay with me and you can fight like every good boy should." And gave an offer to Fuuseki to leave Tin Drum.
"Like hell I would ever join you!" in a split second, Fuuseki punched Amakasu, knocking him down and grabbed his gun. He had been secretly cutting the restraint. He fought off the other guards and helped his comrades cut loose. "Let's get out of here before he wakes up." Said Fuuseki while cutting the ropes and all five of them ran out from the bunker.
Amakasu woke up and quickly realized his prisoners broke free. "Come back here!" he chased Tin Drum with a gun in hand and started shooting. "Just keep running!" said the redhead. Amakasu kept shooting while catching up and one of his shot hit one of them. The others quickly carried the injured member and continued running. "You cannot escape me, Tin Drum!" Amakasu's voice was catching up.
Fuuseki then found a bottle of Molotov cocktail. He lit it up and threw it at Amakasu. He dodged the bottle but the ground in front of Amakasu was already burning. He growled in disappointment that he let his prisoners away. "That's our method of dance!" shouted Fuuseki in triumph and gave Amakasu the finger.
But what Tin Drum didn't realize that they revealed how they usually fight. Few weeks later, Amakasu received another intel about Tine Drum's new hideout and ordered another siege but with new strategies. Once again, Tin Drum was captured and four of them were executed except Fuuseki. He was sent back to Japan to be punished as a traitor to the homeland. All of this was done with no knowledge of the Emperor.
