Outbound

Rush to Aid

Naoya steers the stolen car towards the construction site, his mind made up. Jun, driving the other car, notices the change in direction and keeps pace, following Naoya's lead. As they enter the construction site, Naoya searches for the specific equipment he needs. His gaze lands on a large crane with a long boom, situated near a partially constructed building. He steers the stolen car towards the crane, positioning it for his plan. Naoya brings the stolen car to a halt near the towering crane, the steel structure casting a giant shadow over them. He quickly assesses the situation, making sure everything is in place for his plan to work. Jun, parked nearby, watches Naoya with a mixture of curiosity and concern. He can sense that Naoya has a plan, but the outcome remains unclear. Naoya hops out of the car, approaching the crane with a confident stride. Naoya quickly ascends the ladder leading to the crane's operator cabin. Once inside, he takes charge of the controls. Below, Jun watches intently, waiting to see what Naoya has in store. Naoya, having reached the operator cabin, takes hold of the crane's controls. He expertly maneuvers the machinery, extending the boom and ensuring it's angled correctly. His focus is steadfast as he prepares for the upcoming maneuver. Naoya skillfully operates the controls, guiding the crane's long boom towards the partially constructed building. With precise movements, he positions the boom above the scaffolding, creating a makeshift bridge.

The crane's boom extends over the partially constructed building, creating a bridge-like structure. Naoya carefully positions it, ensuring stability. Meanwhile, Jun waits in his car, watching the operation unfold. Once the bridge is in place, Naoya signals to Jun, giving the signal to proceed. Jun, driving the second car, cautiously steers his vehicle onto the makeshift bridge. Jun carefully navigates his car onto the makeshift bridge supported by the crane's boom. The structure creaks slightly under the weight of the vehicle, but it holds steady. Naoya watches from the crane's cabin, ready to respond if need be. Jun successfully manoeuvres the car across the makeshift bridge, his heart pounding as he traverses the wobbly structure. The crane creaks and groans, but it holds up under the pressure. Naoya, observing from above, breathes a sigh of relief as Jun safely reaches the other side. As Naoya notices the THL members preparing to pursue across the bridge, he sees an opportunity. Without hesitation, he expertly maneuvers the crane's boom, dislodging the base of the bridge and causing it to collapse. The structure crumbles, leaving no passage for the pursuing THL members. With the bridge destroyed, Naoya signals to Jun and Ms. Fujiwara, indicating that they are now alone without pursuit. Jun and Ms. Fujiwara, realizing the situation, wave back in acknowledgment. With the THL members temporarily halted, Naoya takes a moment to catch his breath. He glances out the window, scanning the surroundings for any sign of further threats. It appears they've gained some temporary respite. 

Noticing the cars filled with THL members below, Naoya frowns, realizing that the danger has not entirely passed. They seem to be surrounded from below, with no clear escape route. Seeing that the THL members are still present below, Naoya comes up with a plan. He looks out the crane's window and spots a nearby construction material pile consisting of large metal pipes. He quickly descends the ladder and begins attaching the heavy pipes to the crane's hook. With the pipes securely attached, Naoya ascends the ladder back to the crane's operator cabin and regains control. He carefully maneuver the crane's boom, positioning the pipes above the array of THL member's cars. With the loaded crane boom stationed over the THL member's cars, Naoya takes aim and releases the hook, allowing the pipes to drop onto their vehicles. The impact of the heavy pipes crushes the cars below, incapacitating most of the pursuers. The THL members' cars are crushed and rendered inoperable as the heavy pipes hit them. Some THL members manage to scramble out, but many are trapped under the wreckage. After witnessing the destruction he has caused, Naoya quickly descends from the crane and rushes towards the stolen bulletproof car. Naoya jumps into the driver's seat of the stolen bulletproof car, which is parked nearby. He starts the engine and drives off, leaving the immobilized THL members behind. The car speeds away, maneuvering through the streets. Naoya glances back at the ruined cars and smirks, satisfied with his handiwork. 

As Naoya steers the car through the streets, his sense of satisfaction from incapacitating the THL members is short-lived. In the distance, he spots militants joining the pursuit alongside the THL members. Naoya's expression hardens as he notices the militants joining the chase. He increases the car's speed, trying to put some distance between them and their pursuers. Driving at high speed, Naoya skillfully maneuvers the car through traffic, trying to shake off the militants and THL members gaining on them. He weaves in and out of lanes, utilizing every evasive trick he knows. As the pursuit continues, their path suddenly leads them to a crowded market area. Naoya sees it as an opportunity to ditch the pursuers. He takes a sharp turn into the crowded marketplace, navigating through the busy streets. Remaining cautious, Naoya expertly steers the stolen car through the crowded marketplace, expertly avoiding any collisions with civilians. He maneuvers around the shoppers and stalls, trying to lose the THL members and militants in the crowded environment. Naoya continues driving through the busy marketplace, taking advantage of every narrow alley and unexpected path that presents itself. He quickly scans the surroundings, searching for a way out and shaking off their pursuers. 

As Naoya navigates the chaotic marketplace, he spots a busy intersection nearby. He veers towards it, hoping to use the heavy traffic to his advantage. He quickly checks his mirrors, confirming that their pursuers are still hot on their tail. Naoya weaves through the congested intersection, narrowly avoiding cars and trucks. He uses every gap he finds, making quick and calculated maneuvers to keep ahead of the pursuing militants and THL members. Jun, who was driving the car with Fujiwara, manages to reach a relatively secluded area. He pulls over the car, catching his breath and taking a moment to assess their situation. Jun turns to Fujiwara, checking to see if she's okay. He takes a deep breath, his heart rate gradually slowing. They've successfully evaded their pursuers... for now. He checks the other two mafia members and they seem fine too. He begins to speak. "He did that for us to escape because he knows very well they are after him, not us." Fujiwara nods in agreement, her expression thoughtful. "Yes, you're right. Naoya distracted them on purpose, giving us a chance to escape. He likely realized they were focused on him and not us." "The problem is, how can we help him now. Doesn't him seperating us into different ways means he wants to handle it all by himself?" Ms. Fujiwara asks. Jun furrows his brow, contemplating the situation. "That's what it seems like. Naoya likely calculated the situation and made a strategic decision to separate us. He probably believes he can deal with the militants and THL members on his own." 

Jun and Fujiwara exchange a worried look. They both know the risks Naoya is taking by facing the militants and THL members alone. Jun speaks up, his voice laced with concern. "We can't just leave him to face the militants and THL members on his own. We have to find a way to help him." Jun says, his mind racing to come up with a plan. One of the mafia members speaks up. "Doesn't this just mean he trusts himself and his strength enough to the point he can handle all of them alone just like the miss said?" Fujiwara nods, considering the mafia member's words. "It does show a degree of confidence on his part. He must believe in his own abilities and have some plan or strategy in mind." Jun chimes in, "Ms. Fujiwara, get on the driver seat. I am going to aid." Fujiwara nods and gets into the driver's seat, ready to take the wheel. Meanwhile, Jun prepares to leave the car. He looks determined, ready to join the fight to aid Naoya. Jun catches a glimpse of a bike parked in front of a nearby house. He quickly notices some bushes nearby where money can be left. Jun points to the bike and says, "I'll take that bike. I'll leave some money in the bushes there." He looks at Fujiwara and the other mafia members, signaling for them to wait. 

"Stay here and keep safe," Jun says firmly, his eyes filled with determination. He swiftly approaches the bike and stealthily takes it without causing a scene. He then quickly approaches the bushes nearby, leaving some money discreetly. "He keeps saving us, it's time that I returned the favour." Jun says as he gets on the bike. Jun's determination grows stronger as he speaks. "He has saved us numerous times. It's time I return the favour." With that, he hops onto the stolen bike, ready to assist Naoya in the ongoing pursuit.
