Capítulo 58: 58
Chapter 20, BTOOOM FINAL
- TEAM SAKAMOTO, YOU WIN!
Ryuta: I really am unbeatable in BTOOOM, aren't I?
BTOOOM!
This game has sold over three million copies worldwide. It is an online game that doesn't use guns, only bombs called BIM. You use eight types of bombs, or BIMs, as the situation dictates and use sonar to find enemies while remaining out of their sight. That is how you win this game.
Team Sakamoto 1: Btooom!!!
Team Sakamoto 2: Wow, Sakamoto...We are keeping up with the number two team in the world!
Ryuta: That is right. We are going to become number one in the world. Don't get satisfied here.
Team Sakamoto 1: Yes!
Team Sakamoto 2: Yeah!
In real life I am twenty-two. I still don't have a job of my own and I am not in college either. I hang around at home all day, or what others would call living the life of a NEET, but... In the world of BTOOOM! my strength is second to none. My greatness is recognized and I am truly peerless. I was even able to get married... Though it was only within the game's virtual world of course, yet my feelings were definitely real for her. I was content. Here, in this wonderful place... It never dawned on me that I just used BTOOOM! as an outlet till it was too late.
Gemu: Ryuta, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.
Ryuta: No problem. This is a job interview, so I can't really complain. I can only be grateful for this opportunity. Thank you for this chance.
Three months ago, the online BTOOOM! game went down for maintenance and was soon indefinitely shutdown. There were many rumors going around that Tyrannos Japan was soon going to come out with the sequel for BTOOOM! which would have expanded combat and new types of BIMs. To the average gamer this would only be a minor inconvenience when they would soon be able to play a better game, but for those like me this time was nothing but despair.
Much like a professional gamer, I spent most of my days playing BTOOOM! with a passion, but when a new game comes out, or if it is discontinued there are problems. The game that I and the other top rankers played everyday was gone, so they had a lot of time on their hands. Even though BTOOOM! wasn't a game you played for money, there was a void when it was gone. I spent all of my time and my youth on this game since it came out. Also, I wasn't a NEET in the game, but the greatest player in the world. Having lost both my passion and identity... And even having lost contact with my online wife, I was lost.
It was at this time of depression in my life that I received a phone call that I was waiting for since the beta test of Btooom! that I took part of. Yes, it was the long awaited call from Tyrannos Japan about a job opening. At the time, I believed that this call was a godsend in my time of darkness. That even if I had to stop playing games everyday, I could join society with my head raised high as an employee of the famous game company Tyrannos Japan. My mother when she heard this news cried and hugged me for the first time in a very long time and my step father congratulated me as well.
I... only then did I realize how badly I was treating them, and I then swore to myself to do my best, find my own place, and let my mother enjoy her life with her new husband who had time for her unlike my father who loved work more then his own family.
Also... maybe, just maybe if I can become successful enough and if I could meet her in real life... I could ask her to be my wife not just in virtual space, but in the real world as well. Heck, maybe start a family of my own with her as well. A family unlike mine where we each lived in our own worlds and had completely separate lives despite being one family who lived in the same house. I held those sweet thoughts in my heart as I stepped into my dream company to acquire my dream job.
When I went in for my final interview I spoke with Gemu Shusaisha, the game planner of Tyrannos Japan. I never liked him very much, but I showed my respect for him... At least at first. We were in the middle of talking about health and other benefits of the job when he brought up a special project that the company was working on. Yes, it was the real world BTOOOM! death game.
Gemu explained that they were going to kidnap unexpecting individuals who were out casted by their familys and peers and throw them on a tropical island in the south. On this island they would be given real BIM and radars that Tyrannos Japan were able to recreate from the game and with those, they will be made to fight against each other to the death.
At first I thought this sickening plan was a joke or an idea for a realistic looking game, but as it turned out this was all real and that they have even just finished their third test trial on the island. This meant that people in the dozens, maybe even in the hundreds have already died for a game that would one day be revealed to the public.
And what about me? Tyrannos Japan wanted me, one of the top BTOOOM! players in the world who lead the top rank Japanese team to look over the game and even participate in the game to gain a feel for it. I would also end the games by killing the players on the island when they wanted to move on to the next test game. I was firmly against this plan or to even participate in this insane idea, but what Gemu said as I was about to walk out the door stopped me from leaving.
Gemu: Don't you want to return to your throne?
Ryuta: ...What do you mean?
Gemu: I mean what I said. Without BTOOOM! you are just another NEET. If you leave this building you would have no choice but to continue that life. All without Btooom to take pride in.
Ryuta: What is your point? Even if that is true I won't become a murder!
Gemu: Then don't think of it like murder. You are just playing your beloved Btooom! game again. Just for real this time. As you help us discover bugs within the game you will play BTOOOM! for real. Not staying behind a computer screen as just a NEET but as the true, peerless warrior that you thought yourself to be. Yes! You will become the king, no the lord who reigns over the real world BTOOOM! game. Btooom Lord, Ryuta Sakamoto!
Ryuta: ...
The truth was that I was a weak man and with the loss of my favorite game and being jobless... I choose to accept this offer. I had already told my parents that I basically had a job already and would be soon moving out. To tell them now that I came back home empty handed... They would either be disappointed in me once more, or give me one of those fake smiles as they tell me to try again, but just to aim lowerer next time.
Ryuta: ...I, I'll accept this offer for now, but I'll give you a warning in advance. If your game is boring, I'll just go to the cops later.
Gemu: I don't think they would bother with us for certain reasons, but feel free to leave if you are disappointed, but I doubt you will be disappointed with this game. IT IS BTOOOM AFTER ALL!
And that's how it happened. I sold my soul to live my life as a king who reigns over the island where BTOOOM! is played in the real world. As the Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakaoto, I will reign over the island of the death game, and in exchanged I'll offer up my body, mind, soul and all of my humanity if I had any left.
Ryuta: I had nothing else in my life other than this. This was the right choice. It was right, wasn't it... Himiko?
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
- Flash Back, Day 7, before leaving camp.
Saki: Alright everyone. Lets go over the strategy once before we depart. It isn't complicated, so it only needs to be said once.
Back before Team Japan left to search for Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakamoto and Aqua if she was alive, they had a strategy session to figure out their roles in the upcoming final battle. Normally, they should have gone over their plans dozen times for good measure since lives are on the line and you can't ever be too cautious, but they had so few cards to play that there wasn't any point. The attack group only had Shin, Hikari, Misaki, Saki and Kampa, and half of them were injured after all.
Saki: Kampa, you will locate all of the enemies hidden BIM and shot them so they go off to cause them to malfunction or detonate them early. We don't need such a hidden threat.
Kampa: Leave it to me! My mercenary days aren't for nothing. I can spot a landmine, in this case a Remote BIM buried underground even if six months have passed since they were set. I can also set some off so that they will hit the enemy when he is least expecting it.
Saki: Great. That's better then what we could have ever hoped for. The enemy will definitely lay some traps for us. Very likely in the battle with Aqua he was badly wounded. There is no other explanation as to why he has yet to attack us without our strongest member present. If he is anything like me he would have definitely set up traps where he is resting incase we attack him. If we allow the enemy to gain the terrain advantage then we have no hope of winning. That means after Shin, Kampa here will be our most important asset in this final battle.
Hikari: What about us?
Hikari meant Misaki and herself. Between the five of them, Hikari and Misaki were at the end of the line battle potential wise. One had lost an arm and the other was only slightly stronger than the average girl.
Saki: If you two should decide to join us then you will be given a responsibilitys as well. You will just run around.
Misaki: Just that?
Saki: Yes, and if you can try to shoot the enemy as well. You two will run around in areas that Kampa has deemed safe and distracted the enemy with your movements and attacks, while doing your all to avoid his attacks. Even if the enemy sees you as insignificant threats to him if you keep it up long enough the enemy will pay you more attention and if we are lucky he will slip up when he does.
Hikari: I am fine with that, but... Isn't that acting as bait?
Shin: ...
Misaki: ...
Saki: I won't say that it isn't, so you don't have to stare daggers into me. Your roles here can be said to be nonessential at best. If you feel yourselves getting tired or are in too much danger to continue feel free to run away into the jungle. It is also fine not to come back, but if you do then try to stay hidden as you attack. This will give the enemy even more pressure. Just don't force yourself to do too much and make a mistake that will cost all of us our lives. This is the most important part that I must stress.
Misaki: Alright!
Hikari: Ok.
Saki then turned towards Shin, their ace combatant.
Saki: Shin, your role is something that you should already know, but let me say it out loud anyways. You will defeat the enemy, Ryuta Sakamoto.
Shin: You make it sound so simple.
Saki: It has to be because we have no other option. You are the only one on the island now ( Killing off the red haired veteran already, aren't you? ) who can win over our enemy. Kampa will take care of the Remote Control BIM, Misaki and Hikari will distract the enem and you, and you Shin will defeat Ryuta in a one on one close range battle. Use your speed technique to close in on the enemy and hammer in that offensive technique of yours. I don't understand the full capacity of the enemy's abilities, but your speed is clearly a cut above conventional opponents of this world and the power of that Soul Crushing Strike shattered the armor of the Btooom Commander and killed him in in one blow. No matter how advance Tyrannos Japan's technology is here in this world I can't imagine that they have taken into account to put in defenses for Ki attacks.
Shin: So I'll rush in like a fool, throw punches wildly like a moron and if one hits then we'll win? Simple, yet I see no flaws with the plan. So what will you do Saki? Command from the rear or help Kampa?
Saki: No, I am no coward who hides behind others without reason. My own role will be to take care of the BIM.
Shin: Take care of as in...
Saki: Shoot them down once thrown.
Shin: That is impossible! That guy throws BIM faster then a professional ace baseball pitcher. I doubt that I can keep avoiding them forever even in Unlocked Mode. He might even have a BIM Launcher that can fire BIM rapidly. How will you-
Saki: It is simple. I just have too. After Kampa, I am the best shoot and I am confident that I can successfully do it 7/10 times long as I can visual see the enemy making the motions to throw a BIM. And this isn't so much as for you, but the others. Kampa who is disarming hidden BIM, and Hikari and Misaki acting as bait are all in incredible danger. Without some kind of defense they will all be killed. In reality, only you have the power to face off against this final enemy. Our presence is merely to up the chances of your victory as much as possible. We are all depending and offering our lives for you.
Shin: Still, shouldn't I still go alone? If it is just me, I might be able to pull something off.
Saki: That isn't a good enough reason, Shin. Aqua isn't here, so we only have you. All of our roles are to give you a higher chance of surviving, and that is because if you die it is all over for us all. There will be no second chance even if we run away or regroup. We are betting everything on you. If you don't want us to die then defeat the enemy, Ryuta Sakamoto as fast as you can without dying.
Shin: ...I understand.
With that the plan was firmly set and the five of them left for the final battle.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
https://youtu.be/DIr9nY3bFEs
- The Final battle, Team Japan's five members vs Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakamoto.
The two sides gauged each other for over a minute without making a move. Both sides were injured from previous fights, so the one to make the first move had to be the one to gain the advantage in the battle without fail, or they will be just wasting precious energy they couldn't spare. This stand still felt like it lasted for hours for those who were there, yet everything suddenly with a bang.
- *BANG*!
- *EXPLOSION*!!!
The one to make the first move was Team Japan's Russian mercenary and gunner Kampa. To the Btooom Lord's surprise Kampa, dual wielding with two handguns was accurately shooting at the Remote Control BIMs he had set earlier as a trap for the Players. Shot after shot, Kampa's bullets hit the hidden BIM and they erupted from the earth in a fiery explosion.
Those Remote BIM that the enemy has set beforehand were a trump card for an emergency. He would have set them all off at once if he was ever pushed too far by Shin's group. For his plan to be discovered so soon and being undermined infuriated him. Smoke from the continuous explosion of BIM detonated by Kampa covered the entire battlefield of the clearing, and as soon as Kampa was visible he had become the Btooom Lord first target. Half the BIM he had set were gone and he wouldn't let the other half go so easily.
Swiftly with practiced movements, the Btooom Lord took out a Cracker BIM from his belt and was about to throw it when a gun shot from the other direction hit the BIM in his hand and it went off.
- *EXPLOSION*!
The explosion didn't damage the Btooom Lord thanks to the armor he was wearing, but he was knocked off balance and his knee touched the ground.
Saki: Now!
Shin: Instant Movement!
Waiting for his chance and already in Unlocked Mode due to the immense pressure the enemy was giving off, Shin sprinted on top of the earth and through the clouds of smoke like a gale of wind. Moving with Instant Movement Shin had rushed to the enemy and was now in front of him.
Shin: Soul Crushing Strike!
Gathering Ki and perfectly syncing it with his physical body, Shin's fist extended like a spear to strike down the Btooom Lord in one shot, yet it didn't go as planned. The enemy Btooom Lord was able to completely keep up with Shin's speed and either saw or sensed the threat of the extending fist. He raised his good right hand and brought it to meet Shin's fist.
- *CRASH*!
Shin: A miniature Barrier BIM!
To Shin's shock from the enemy's wrist deployed an energy shield to block his Ki attack. It wasn't as complete as the Barrier BIM, yet it had enough defensive power to allow the Btooom Lord to get away with just being blown away, yet not injured. The Btooom Lord rolled backwards due to Shin's Ki attack but soon recovered and jumped backwards over 50 meters to escape Shin. Then in mid air he released a rain of BIM down on top of Shin. Shin escaped the large blast with Instant Movement, yet he was upset.
Shin: ( It should have been expected since he survived fighting Aqua, but he really can keep up with me while I am using using Instant Movement. And not only does he have infinite BIM, probably all types as well, he has an energy shield as well! ).
Shin analyzed the enemy capabilities and found that they really were leaps and bounds above the his previous enemies. Despite its sleek and small frame, the Btooom Lord's armor offered far more defense and power then the Btooom Soldiers and Btooom Commanders, and the armor had more gimmicks as well.
Shin: Really a lord of Btooom, huh? Shit, don't try acting cooler then me, Ryuta!
Shin renewed his attack, but was cut off by a sudden wall of Blazing Gas thrown by the enemy. Shin stopped before running into it, yet a cold chill went down his spine at that moment. His instincts were warning him to run for his life and without debate he listened.
Shin jumped back with Instant Movement to avoid whatever he knew was coming. The Btooom Lord took out a 1300°C Flammable Oil Splashing Flame BIM and threw it into the cloud of Blazing Gas, and quickly summoned the Barrier BIM around himself and watched the result. The 1300°C Flammable Oil Splashing Flame BIM detonated in the cloud of Blazing Gas and the area became a sea of red flames in a wide area explosion.
The Btooom Lord was fine thanks to the Barrier BIM protecting him, yet Shin was not so lucky. He avoided the flames, but the shock wave from the large blast struck him and was swept away fully out of control of himself as he flew in the air. Then in a natsy landing Shin crashed into the far off jungle outside the battlefield.
A normal human would not have survived such a fall, but the Btooom Lord was taking no chances with Shin after he displayed such inhuman fighting capabilities without wearing a similar armor to his own. The Btooom Lord was about to take out more Blazing Gas and 1300°C Flammable Oil Splashing Flame BIM combinations to finish him off, but he was interrupted by Team Japan's attack.
From two different directions suppressive fire hit him. Hikari and Misaki who had so far not participated in the battle began their attack after seeing Shin blasted away into the distance. Believing, no having no other choice but to believe that Shin was alive and would come back soon, the two of them attacked the Btooom Lord to stop him from attacking Shin again.
Unfortunately, like they already knew normal bullets and the like had no effect of the enemy Lords armor. It was unnecessary for him to even acknowledge such an insignificant attacks that didn't leave even a scratch on his armor, and the enemy calmly reacted to their attack. Taking out serval dozen Homing BIM from his belt the Btooom Lord released them into the air and set them loose on Hikari and Misaki. They had no means of counter attacking, so they could only run away. Then as they were about to land, a spray of bullets destroyed the Homing BIM coming after them.
Saki and Kampa who had better aim then the average person shoot down all the Homing BIM. Hikari and Misaki were grateful, yet the situation had not changed, and was in fact even worse. The Btooom Lord now knew the position of all four of the remaining members of Team Japan, and planned to take them out once and for all. The Btooom Lord could throw BIMs over 500 MPH, and with all of them so close and no obstructions in the way there was no hope that they could escape.
- *CRASH*!
Shin: Is that what you believe asshole!
From up above the Btooom Lord and striking him with a flying kick to the head was Shin. Shin recovered from the fall much faster then anyone had expected and quickly returned to the battle. He didn't come out of the fall unscathed as his right arm was twisted badly ( Like Garden of Sinner's Shiki in her fight against the physic girl who could twist and bend things with her mind ), but he kept going despite the pain and loss of blood.
In Unlocked Mode Shin could tolerate his injuries and thanks to his One-eyed Ghoul mutation he could force himself to keep going despite injuries that would immobilize a normal human being no matter how strong they were. Also, his right arm was never much use to him anyways so was glad that it wasn't his dominant left arm and hand.
Then Staying hidden and waiting for his chance to strike Shin made his move once he he saw it. Gathering as much Ki as he could and using Instant Movement in combination, he jumped from the tallest tree that he could find and shot himself into the air and skies above. Shin was confident that the Btooom Lord wouldn't be expecting such an aerial attack. It was a shame that he couldn't atrack with Soul Crushing Strike, but his kick was still empowered with tremendous Ki Energy. That, on top of the gathered force of the kick from dropping down on the sky on the Btooom Lord's head did heavy damage to the enemy.
The Btooom Lord was blown away by Shin kick and left side of his helmet was busted open. For the first time they were able to see the true face of the Btooom Lord after he pulled himself up from the ground. It was really the face of the main character of BTOOOM, Ryuta Sakamoto! The mission stated as such from the beginning, but this was the first time that they confirmed it was really him.
Shin: So we finally get to see the man under the mask. Your not ugly, but I still wished that my kick caved in your face.
Saki: What are you waiting for? The enemy is bluffing by standing up!
Saki assessment was correct. Shin's kick to the head wasn't critical, yet had left him disoriented. Getting up was basically all he could do to stop Shin and the others from immediately following up an atrack, yet to his dislike Saki saw through it almost immediately. Hearing Saki's conclusion Shin sprinted to the Btooom Lord with Instant Movement and prepared the Soul Crushing Strike to defeat him down once and for all, but the enemy surprised Shin yet again.
Shin was expecting and made plans to deal with a Barrier BIM or mini energy shield, yet the Btooom Lord in his desperation actually sent a punch of his own towards Shin. The enemy's arms were slightly longer then Shin, so his fist hit a split second faster in their dual exchange, striking his face and held enough force to make Shin's Ki attack miss his target. Instead of a fatal blow to the head, Soul Crushing Strike struck the Btooom Lords shoulder. The blow was enough to distort the armor, yet it wasn't an absolute critical blow like it had been all the other times before when Shin's sure fire Ki attack landed.
There was a great difference in power between the two punches, yet they were both strong enough to blow both Shin and the Btooom Lord backwards. The Btooom Lord then quickly used several Blazing Gas BIM as cover to avoid Shin coming after him, yet his concerns were unnecessary. Shin had stopped in place after getting punched by Ryuta and kept staring at his left hand that struck the Btooom Lord. Shin had felt that... something off.
Shin: ( What is this? This strange felling... Whenever I use Ki to attack him, I feel a chill down my spine. I hit him, but I didn't at the same time ).
Shin felt like this was something gravely important, but he didn't have time to understand it even with his accelerated speed of thought in Unlocked Mode. The Btooom Lord exited out of the fog of Blazing Gas recovered and ready to fight, and in his hands were two BIMs of unknown designs, different from the eight types of BIM that appeared in the manga and what Team Japan had used and fought against so far on the island.
Shin: A trump card in the final hour, huh? How protagonist like, but don't get full of yourself Ryuta. I still have one card left to play as well!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
https://youtu.be/E2PBpYQZiAk
The appearance of the two new and unknown BIMs of origins received a response from Team Japan. Saki, Kampa, Hikari and Misaki immediately began to shoot at the Btooom Lord. There bullets were completely ineffective against the enemys's armor as all the bullets were repelled. They knew this beforehand, but the point was was to distract the enemy to give their ace and hope, Shin, a chance to attack.
Shin decided to ignore the odd feeling that he was having and charged at the enemy. Shin was carefully about a Blazing Gas BIM smokescreen like before, but he didn't worry about it as much. He remembered that he had once survived the Blazing Gas with minimal damge, and if he were to channel his Ki around his skin he was sure that he could get away with even less damge. There was worry of another large explosion due to a combination of BIMs, but long as he could exit the Blazing Gas and kill the Btooom Lord before he ignited the cloud then it was a needles concern.
To Shin's shock the Btooom Lord decided to ignore Shin. Jumping away from Shin's rush, in mid air he threw one of his two new BIM towards Hikari. The enemy's attention was to destroy Shin's support group who were making it impossible to kill Shin. Saki tried shooting it down, but unfortunately she missed. Hikari was already running away out of fear by the time the BIM was drawing near her and when she was lucky enough to avoid a direct hit-
- *HIGH PITCHED SCREECHING*!
The BIM detonated, yet there was no explosion right away. Hikari who was still running away turned back to see where the BIM had gone off, there was now a small white sphere of light contracting and expanding in the air, then three seconds later there was a wave of light spread in all directions and hit Hikari's back.
Gravity Pulse BIM.
Instead of an explosion, a BIM that released a shock wave that ignores solid objects and hits soft body targets. A perfect BIM to use when you opponent is hiding behind solid buildings and trees. The wave hit Hikari as she was running and she fell over in a nasty fall. Her body kept rolling around all the way into the far off jungle bushes. She hadn't died, but she had definitely suffered a head concussion and broken bones all around her body.
TEAM JAPAN - HIKARI UNABLE TO CONTINUE.
Shin: Hikari!!!
Shin who saw this and unable to do anything to save her, in a fit of rage ran to the Btooom Lord with Instant Movement and attacked with Soul Crushing Strike. The enemy's guarded in time with his energy shield, but the power of Shin's Ki attack was so great that he was blown away and this time he was injured. The device deploying the shield was damaged beyond repair by the Ki attack. Shin was going to follow up another attack, but a fog of Blazing Gas got in his way. Shin ran straight through the fog since it wouldn't hurt him if he was prepared, yet the Booom Lord was gone.
Shin: Gone? Where is here!?
Misaki: Kampa!
Shin: What!?
Shin turned around to find the enemy Btooom Lord fighting against Kampa. Kampa was firing at the hidden Remote Control BIMs in the earth to slow him down, but the enemy plowed through it all. Once an opportunity showed itself the Btooom Lord threw a Gravity Pulse BIM at Kampa. When Hikari was hit with a Gravity Pulse BIM she was running away, so her injuries wers lighter than they should have been objectively, yet Kampa was not fortunate as he was standing still. The BIM detonated right in front of him and he was blown backwards. Kampa came to a stop when he collided with a far off tree, the impact braking his back and spine. He was no longer capable of fighting.
TEAM JAPAN - KAMPA UNABLE TO CONTINUE.
Misaki: You bastered!
Saki: Wait! Don't charge in recklessly!
The one armed and exhausted Misaki ran up to the Btooom Lord in a rage, but the enemy was well aware that he was coming and had already prepared a BIM for Misaki. Just as the enemy was about to make his move-
- *BANG*!
Saki fired her gun at the Btooom Lord. Normally gun fire was no threat to him, but Shin's previous kick to the head had revealed an opening in his helmet for Saki to exploit. Saki couldn't kill him and only got an eye, yet that was more then enough to stun the enemy long enough for Misaki to get close. Misaki's fist too drove into the Btooom Lords exposed face and sent him flying with all of his might. He didn't posses as much Shin, yet he had enough power and the talent to use it to badly bruise the enemy's face.
Misaki: Take that asshole bomber!
Shin: Misaki! Your sleeve!
Misaki: !!!
Misaki looked at the sleeve of his one good arm and found a BIM stuck to him and paled.
Implosion BIM.
Misaki: Shit!
Miraculously, Misaki with one arm got his shirt off in time, but he wasn't in time to escape harm. The Implosion BIM didn't kill him, but the implosion devoured his last good arm. Now armless and blood rushed out of his wound, Misaki passed out.
TEAM JAPAN - MISAKI UNABLE TO CONTINUE.
Shin: Misaki!
Shin final caught up the the Btooom Lord, yet he was able to claim one more victim. Without Kampa to warn/detonate Remote Control BIM hidden beneath the earth, Saki ended up in the range of one of the last few BIMs still left unknowingly.
- *BEEP*
- *EXPLOSION*!
The Remote Control BIM went off and the blast hit Saki. She lost a leg from the explosion and suffered from severe second degree burns. Saki was alive for now, but was in and out of consciousness.
TEAM JAPAN - SAKI UNABLE TO CONTINUE.
Shin: Damm! How dare you ignore me!
Shin was completely fed up. Hikari, Misaki, Kampa and Saki, also Zero and possibly Aqua were victims of this enemy. It was never a possibility to end things peaceful since it was there mission to kill the Btooom Lord, but Shin wanted nothing more then to kill this enemy. A Soul Crushing Strike hit the Btooom Lord, yet the enemy moved at the last second to have it hit the shoulder of his bad arm. Once more the enemy was blown away by Shin's power, yet he wasn't going to stop there. Shin quickly followed after the enemy with Instant Movement as he wasn't even going to wait for him to hit the ground before sending in one last Soul Crushing Strike into the Btooom Lord's skull.
The enemy Btooom Lord was well prepared as he had taken out several Timer BIM set to immediately go off. With Instant Movement Shin could always avoid them, yet that wasn't why he took them out. The Timer BIMs all went off while the enemy was still holding them, and both the himself and Shin who was chasing after the him were hit by the blast.
The enemy Btooom Lord's armor protected him, but Shin was not lucky. Shin fell backwards hard and dislocated his shoulder. Shin was taking too many hits with bombs and wouldn't be surprising if he had some internal bleeding on top of everything else, but that still didn't stop him while in Unlocked Mode. Ignoring the pain, not being even aware of the pain, Shin relocated his shoulder with force as to not be a hindrance to him. Shin then got back up... but it was already too late. Shin was one step slower the the Btooom Lord. Two of the second new type of of BIM that the Btooom Lord held were thrown at Shin. Shin felt death from the BIM and jumped back, but his lack of Ki at this point to use Instant Movement proved near fatal.
Energy Blade BIM.
The BIM detonated like other BIM, but instead of an explosion eight thin blades of light zoomed outwards in all directions. Six of the blades missed Shin since he had jumped away at the last second, but two of the blades hit their mark. Shin two legs from the kneecaps down were cut off with one blade and his only usable left hand was cut off by the second energy blade under the elbow. Shin fell to the ground, unable to stand or atrack the enemy anymore.
TEAM JAPAN - SHIN UNABLE TO...
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
https://youtu.be/kv-PLpZyB4g
Shin: ...Shit!
That summed up Shin's feeling in a single word. His left arm and legs were cut off by a never before seen BIM and his right arm that was useless to begin with was already a mangled mess. Additionally, there was massive loss of blood and taking BIM after BIM attack Shin was worn down to his current state. Unable to fight or even move.
Shin: Well, it isn't like he is much better shape either.
The Btooom Lord was in horrible shape even before the final battle and now he was in worse shape then ever. A damaged arm, a clawed out chest, a half crushed helmet, shot out eye, bruised face and multiple hits from Shin's own Soul Crushing Strike.
All in all, The Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakamoto was just in just as bad shape as Shin, but unfortunately for Shin he still had the ability to move and attack. In spite of his own injuries, the Btooom Lord approached Shin who had fallen to the ground confidently as if he had already won this battle. He wasn't wrong to assume as such by looking at Shin's current state.
Assured of his victory the Btooom Lord took out a Timer BIM from his belt and threw it over towards Shin. The Timer BIM landed right besides Shin's face and whether it was coincidence or intentional, he could see the timer counting down with the corner of his eye.
- 10!
Shin: Wh-what is with you guys? Always looking down on others from above. Viewing the last moments of a dying human being before they die. Is this that fun for you?
Btooom Lord: ...
- 8!
Shin: Whatever. Anyways Ryu-, I mean Btooom Lord. Do you happen to know what a ghoul is? I happen to be one, though One-eyed as I might be. Impressive right?
Btooom Lord: ...
- 6!
Shin: They are an amazing and badass race, you know. You can stab them in the stomach, twist their leg into a bloody mess and some can still even keep going after having their heads blown off! They're just that amazing and near immortal, the higher rated ghouls are.
Btooom Lord: ...
- 3!
Shin: Unfortunately, I am not yet at that level as a ghoul due to a lack of stats in Cell Vitality, but maybe with Ki... I believe that I can make it work one way or another. Though I have no proof and have not tested it out yet. My point being Mr. Btooom protagonist man is this...
- 1!
Shin:: Don't fuck with me!
Btooom Lord: !!!
- ZERO!
In that fraction of a second before the Timer BIM went off Shin channeled Ki through his body towards a certain location.
It was to his ghoul organ near his waist, the Kagune. The Ki Energy forced its way in and mixed with the organ to cause a powerful reaction, which in turn caused a great surge of power within Shin to well up. Then half of that new found power went straight towards his mangled right arm that was badly twisted due to the earlier fall.
The twisted arm twisted back into place and repaired itself. It only took an instant, but for Shin his life force, Ki had dropped dangerously low. Along with it he experienced such great pain during the healing of his arm that he almost died of shock.
Shin: Soul Crushing Strike!
- *EXPLOSION*!!!
Shin struck the ground with Soul Crushing Strike to jump away from the Timer BIM's explosion, but his last ditch effort to live was not over yet. The explosion had temporarily hidden Shin, so this was his one and last chance to attck the enemy in his weakened state.
Shin: Go!!!
With the other half of his Ki/Ghoul power within his Kagune something emerged. Around his back at the waist his skin was discolored black and sprouting out were four blood red tentacles. For the first time Shin had summoned his Kagune and he wasted no time to admire it and used it right away. Next, empowering the tips of the four red tentacles with the very last bit of Ki, Shin ordered his Kagune to strike through the dust cloud brought up by the BIM explosion, striking the Btooom Lord. The four Kagune tentacles moved swiftly and left the enemy no time to counter attack.
Btooom Lord: Gahhhhh!!!
All four Kagune tentacles struck true and pierced the Btooom Lord's chest running him through. Then lifting him up into the air, Shin's Kagune threw his defeated enemy away like it was something filthy.
Shin: I, I told you... I told you not to fuck with me!

Shin: I... I won.
Shin was happy that he had won, but he was fading fast. He had lost a lot of blood and had exhausted his Ki, pushed the limits of his Ghoul side to the brink, but the biggest problem was the genetic breakdown from unlocking his constraint for a fourth time as his Unlocked Mode was wearing off now that the danger he was facing was gone.
Everytime after unlocking the Genetic Constraint, aside from the pain he could feel that his whole body was breaking down. It was almost impossible for a normal organism to unlock the Genetic Constraint because big alterations in genetics were in themselves fatal to the organism. Shin had already gone into Unlocked Mode three times before and against the Btooom Lord, he unlocked the constraint into a deeper state than the previous three times.
Shin knew he didn't have much time left. Critical injuries, loss of blood, and genetic breakdown. Any of those could erase him from this world. Shin won the battle, yet he was already more than half way toward death.
Shin: But why haven't we returned to the Terminal Lobby?
Shin used his Kagune tentacles/new legs to pull himself up into a sitting position and looked around. Like he said they have yet return to the Terminal Lobby and were still on the island where BTOOOM takes place.
This was a serious issue for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one was his teammates. Hikari was knocked out from a explosion, Misaki lost another arm from the Implosion BIM and was bleeding out, Kampa broke his back against a tree and Saki was caught and lost a leg in a BIM explosion and although it wasn't as bad as Zero's case she was suffering from second degree burns.
Shin: All them are still alive, but it is going to get worse for them if they don't get repaired by God soon.
Shin then looked around for any reason why the mission hadn't finished and eventually he found the obvious reason why the mission had yet to finish. Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakamot was still alive... If that was the right word for it.
The Btooom Lord had gotten back on to its knees after Shin's final attack hit him. His armor was in tatters, had lost an eye compliments to Saki, taken many Soul crushing Strikes to the body and most noticeable of all was the large hole in his chest as a result of the Kagune pricing through it. It was a through and through, so you could see through to the other side.
Shin: He... can't be human. Was that the odd feeling I was having? I didn't get any reaction when my Ki ( Life Force ) struck him becausehe wasn't alive?
Saki: He... He must be an android, no cyborg since he is still bleeding. A true being with both organic and biomechatronic parts.
Shin: Saki! Are you okay?
Saki: No, but I am alive for now, but don't lose focus Shin. The Btooom Lord, Ryuta Sakamoto is still alive!
Ryuta: ...I can't really call myself alive anymore, but I guess that is more or less correct, although I won't be able to function much longer.
Shin: ...
Saki: ...
Shin and Saki weren't imaging it. They had indeed heard it. Heard for the very first time the Btooom Lord, the main character of BTOOOM!, Ryuta Sakamoto speak.
Ryuta: Co-congratulations players. You are the very first to to defeat the Btooom Lord who reigns over this island... You should feel proud for pushing me this far.
Saki: ...
Shin: This is cool and all and I really don't mind the whole villain wrap up speech since this is my first, but please keep it short. Some of us are DYING here!
Ryuta: ... Me. Me the villain? Screw you. I am the Btooom Lord. The king of this island. Don't mess with me lowlife!
Shin: Right back at you false king! Didn't you just lose to us lowlifes?
Shin was amazed, but more then anything scared right now. The enemy obviously didn't have the ability to fight back now even with the revelation that Ryuta was a cyborg, yet Shin couldn't let go that there was something behind these last words of the enemy and he didn't need to be in Unlocked Mode to know that something was coming.
Ryuta: ...Me. Lose? At BTOOOM!? BTOOOM! is my life! My very last pride! I, I gave up on my family, the real world and... A life with Himiko! That is why so long as I am alive, so long as this is BTOOOM!... LIKE HELL WILL I LOSE TO ANYONE!!!
It was then that the sleak, black remains of the Btooom Lord's armor began to light up. It was also then that Ryuta stopped talking and all signs of life within were beginning to fade.
Shin: Shit! It couldn't be that right?
Saki: What? What is going on?
Shin: It is that! That what every egotistical villain does when they don't want to admit that that they lost. SELF-DESTRUCT!
The enemy Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakamoto was going to take his own life to kill Shin and the others. They had no idea how large the blast would be, but that hardly mattered when they were so close to the the source and were all badly injured. God will send them back to the Terminal Lobby when Ryuta's life comes to a true end, but what would get them first. The blast or the recall home? They didn't know, but the mood in that situation was anything but, 'We have nothing to worry about'.
It was then as all those who were still conscious were beginning to lose hope when-
- *HOWL*!!!
Shin: That howl... Aqua!
Rushing through the jungles of the island and reaching the clearing where the final battle was held, was without a doubt Aqua in her full wolf form. The large, adamantium furred beast with gold eyes filled with madness passed by the fallen members of Team Japan and reached where Shin and Ryuta were.
The great beast gave Shin a fleeting look and rushed at the enemy. The adamantium monster wolf bit into the neck of Btooom Lord Ryuta Sakamoto, and escaped with his body and ran off. The armor of the Btooom Lord lights were becoming brighter and brighter with each passing second and was about to enter the very last phase of it's self-destruct sequence.
Shin who saw all of this happen in the span of five seconds wanted to go after the monster wolf, Aqua, but couldn't. His Ki was all used up, the strength he received from his Ghoul side had run out, his body was reaching the limit from unlocking the Genetic Constraint and he had lost over half the blood in his body.
All these injuries could kill any strong man instantly, so there was no way Shin could do anything at this time. Shin didn't have the energy to move a muscle. Even just closing his eyes made him feel exhausted. He wanted to both desperately go after Aqua and runaway from the blast, yet he could do neither, and could only look on as the explosion as it enveloped Aqua, and then approach him and the rest of Team Japan in a white flash.
Shin: Aqua!!!

Daily Minutes -
???. Game Over. The first trial run of the real world Btooom game Hard Mode has ended with a win for the players unexpectedly, and even more unexpectedly the island was heavily damaged in Ryuta Sakamoto's self-destruct that we were going to use once the project goes public to get rid of him later on when he served no more use to us. Because too many unexpected factors took place this week it was decided by the higher up to return to the original format of the game, or maybe even cancel the project entirely... Really, who were those people.
