It was another day in the white room, we finished our stretching and physical tasks for the morning. We were now being taught the theory of cosmic inflation. I scanned the board and took in everything the instructor said.

"So the universe would approximately be-"

BANG was what I heard as screaming ensued. That sounded exactly like my instructor for the sex education classes. She was my favrioute teacher..

"CODE RED! CODE RED!" Blared the siren to the top right of the room as metallic doors shut down every part of the room we were in. They were massive and obscured everything, we were in a lockdown.

The other subjects seemed to be terified along with the instructor. But if you stopped worrying and used your brain, you'd realise that the invasion is 99.9% happening to save us. So only our instructor should be panicking. We sat in silence and sobs as more explosions and gunshots would be heard. 

The screaming ensued for another 20 minutes before all went quiet

*BANG*

was heard as a piece of the metallic chunck came flying off and sailing towards our instructor. It hit him directly on his foot and he cried out in pain. In came 10 different soldiers, strapped with explosives and armed with guns. They had helmets covering the upper parts of their face and looked to be heavily equipped and well trained as 8 of them dispersed to each corner of the room in pairs. Wrapping the explosives off their bodis and placing them on the floor. The other 2 soldiers approached us, one without a rifle and the other next to him. If my presumptions are correct, he would be the sergeant and that's his right hand man.


"AHHH-" Our instructors wailing was cut short when the solider holed 2 bullets straight through his head before locking his rifle on us, a way to make sure we didn't make no funny moves. The presumed sergeant approached me, seeing that I was the clamest of the lot and perhaps the easiest to talk to.

"Kid what's your name?"

"Kiyotaka Ayanokouji."

"As in?"

"Yes he's my father. And sergeant, are you blowing this place up?"

 The sergeant seemed to be taken aback by the observation but calmed himself quickly. Ignoring my question, the man then proceeded to say some code number into his radio before turning to the lot of us.

He took off his helmet to reveal a well groomed man with hair falling to his shoulder, black and silky. He was clean shaven and had a very well-defined jawline. He breathed a sigh of relief before turning to us.

"You all, my name is sergeant Shoichi Yokoi. we are the sushi team 6 and are here to save you lot from this coorporation."

Lovely..

The subjects took a moment to process the information before leaps of excitement and bliss overtook the place. A warm smile overtook the sergeant as he saw how happy the kids were. He turned to me again.

"You ever smile kid?"

"I forgot how to. And are you blowing this place up?"

"Ah I see."

The sergeant then got another radio message before he turned to his men.

"You lot done?"

"Almost sir, just 2 more minutes."

The sergeant eyed me again, presumably to get a reaction from me. Though nothing showed, I was still happy. We waited admist the bliss and happiness of the subjects and finally...There he was.

 My father was there, tied up and bloody. 5 more soldiers entered the room, keeping close eye on my father. An angered look overtoook his face as he kept cursing. If you read his lip movement, he was saying..

"Fuckin Sakayangi, all those years of building trust just to turn on me?!"

He got thrown to the floor and infront of my feet. He saw my face and lit up.

"Kiyotaka, my son. Get rid of these men, I know you're more than capable enough to."

The soldiers seemed to be taken aback, not thinking I could do much to them

"Now kid, you decide his fate." said the sergeant

"Pass me the gun, your pistol."

"I-"

"I'm being serious sergeant."

The sergeant passsed me the gun reluctantly. I watched as the sergeants right hand man and the other soldiers in the room locked their rifles on me.

"Yes Kiyotaka use it on the-" I cut his words off by shooting his right leg. He cried in pain as I shot his left. His crying ensued until i got bored after 5 minutes and planted a bullet clean through his nasty fuckin skull. 

"Kid your harsh.."

"We've done worse here sergeant. He suffered too less."

All the students cheered before running at me, jumping on my shoulders and enveloping me in hugs. I got charged to the floor as everyone screamed words of randomness at me. The moment was too sweet, even for me and I slightly moved my facial muscles upwards. 

The sergeant smiled again, this time much wider. He must have seen me smiling.

"Haruki!" A man rushed towards the sergeant as he called his name.

"How is everything, are the children all free, the instructors dead?

"All the children are free and being escorted into their respective choppers, these are the last bunch. All the instructors have been dealt with."

"The explosives?"

"Finished sir."

"So you are blowing this place up." I said

"Maybe." replied the sergeant as a wry smile overtook his face.

"Follow us."

We got escorted out of the white halls of the white room and towards a chopper outside Everyone was too mesmerised to even bother getting in, they stared at the outside world intently. And so did I.

It took us a good 10 minutes of staring before we all sat in the chopper. Flying away as there was a massive explosion behind us. The white room blew up, it's traces flying in the wind. 

We all cried as we left, happy tears streaming down our faces. I comforted Yuki who kept hugging me, and Shiro sat to my left, a happy smile overtaking him.

"Were leaving Kiyotaka, were leaving!"

"Yes we are Yuki. Yes we are."

I turned to the sergeant.

"So you did blow it up. Great."

"Was your father serious about you beating us?"

"Your soldiers won't be much of a problem if fought one on one, if we removed the guns I could take them all."

"What about me?"

"Who knows sergeant."

"Mr Kiyotaka, this your new family." said the sergeant. 

I shook him farewell and walked towards a crippled girl and her presumed father.

"hello son, my name is Sakayanagi and this is my daughter Arisu."
