Like The Old Times

Ueno Dam
Minamiaiki, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

When I was little and I watched television I loved a series that dealt with car racing in the mountain pass, I thought that maybe in the future when I had my own car maybe I would do something similar as a hobby. But I never thought that I would in this kind of situation. Right now I was driving a car a Ford Mustang downhill in a Japanese mountain pass, and the truth that although it was fun to wear the tires of the car, I have to be precise about the speed, the direction, the grip of the tires, search The way I can look at the road due to my size while with one hand I give direction, the other I hold the handgrip, one foot on the throttle and the other on the clutch. I was not doing it for pleasure, I had to be fast and get to the access of the tunnel that leads to the generator complex of the dam. 

The plan for the mission won't excite me either, because there just wasn't one, I don't know what awaits me there. Due to the nature of the tunnel communication with the outside is impossible, in addition to being such a closed space the sound is heard much more and travels more space, so firing a gun could be overheard. So I will have to find a way to keep my stealthy for as long as possible, Killing silently, trying not to be seen, I even took the liberty of wearing one of Xian's coats to cover my shoes with them so as not to make noise when walking. I also told my daughters that once they saw me near where the enemies are, they will start playing with the lights by turning them on and off. That will hopefully give me moments of darkness to move and surprise them, in addition to the distraction they cause. Against me, I have an unknown number of enemies, unknown hostages and it seems that there are bombs placed in the place I doubt they will wear them with them still inside, but that cannot be trusted. Also, the police could show up in 40 minutes and once they show up everything will go to hell Which boils down to the fact that I am the only option for this to end in the best possible way.

Ahead there was the entrance to the tunnel, there were two men dressed in black with weapons guarding the entrance, they raised their weapons when they saw the car approaching at full speed and fired. I did not slow down, I turned the car towards one of them and did not break until the car shook when I hit one of them, I immediately put my hand out the window and shot the other, once the entrance was secure I put it back the car in motion continue advancing through the tunnel.

Unlike the previous times where I get into trouble this time I felt much more nervous than normal. Because this time, although the place was illuminated, it was not very different from when I was locked up in Moscow or in the deep depths of Atlantis. I could feel my own pulse without having to concentrate and my hands were shaking, I feel like I am short of breath and my mind seems to think that everything that is happening is a lie. It seems I'm just watching a movie, but deep down I know it's real. But I think everything will be fine as long as it doesn't reach my breaking point.

After almost two kilometers and near the complex I turned off the car engine and continued with the impulse, I stopped the car right next to the school bus that was now empty. Once close I got out of the car and looked for possible enemies I was free of enemies, it seems that the terrorists still do not expect someone to attack them so early, I entered through the main door and then took the hall to the right.

At my disposal, I had an MP5 with 40-round magazines, a bulletproof vest along with the bags to carry the gun magazines, my pistol, the two knives that I carried to peel fruits or meat in the camp, and my cell phone with the map of the place and the route of how to get to where Haru should be. The latter I had put on my forearm and tied improvised with tape to keep it there so that when I raised the weapon with one hand and the other held the grip I could see the phone without having to be distracted. I had on my school uniform, I know it's a bad idea but I didn't have any more clothes, so I put my jacket over it and took off my cap to hear better inside the tunnel, The noise of weapons inside the tunnel will be painful for my fox ears but there's nothing that can be done. The good side of this is that I am dressed so ridiculously that they will not take me seriously, after all, who is going to believe that a girl with a fox tail and ears came here to try to kill them.

I turn left at the next intersection and I have to go 100 meters then right, then everything in a straight line.

Shit!

A guard at the end of the corridor saw me, to prevent him from shooting, I threw my submachine gun at him, which when hitting him distracted him enough to approach him and pierce his neck with the knife. The blood started to come out a lot so I moved the body to a room that was nearby, to hide it from the rest of its companions to avoid the alarm. I gathered my things and quickly inspected the dead man. His equipment was also quite good, vest, submachine gun, pistol, he had a short-range radio but I doubt that it would be useful in this environment, he had a level 3 helmet and balaclava. Everything he brought to the radio was not something that could be easily obtained in Japan, especially a military-grade helmet. 

Leaving the room I went back to my path, when I reached the end of the corridor there is a door that leads to what looks like a maintenance warehouse, where Haru and Tamamo should be according to the security cameras. So around here there should be a camera and probably my mother and my daughters are watching me with it. I'm not good with the public, but now I have bigger concerns. I finally reach the door, open it and ...

The place is empty, there is no one. What the hell? where are they?

The place was intact, with no signs of struggle, could it be that the information was wrong? I doubt it, I don't think Kazumi or her sister could make a mistake like that. Surely it was moved by the kidnappers to another location while I was entering the tunnel and maybe they saw it through the cameras but there was no way to warn me. Or maybe Tamamo managed to find an opportunity to escape and seized it. But that doesn't change what I should do. I'll have to keep looking until I find them.

If the hostages were divided into different groups to prevent them from escaping, they must also be kept close to the main group of terrorists. And they would be near the main objective, which seems to be the generator room, so I will have to go there and look But I don't have a lot of time to be doing this Bullshit.

Leaving the room the route that had the map of the place marked only the exit from here, but nothing else, there was no other instruction. Now I was completely on my own, so I followed the easiest solution. Read the signs that indicated the name of each room. I went to a fairly long corridor, then a fairly narrow one, and then came to an intersection with several tunnels. I did not know where to go now, I scratched my head for half a second in what I thought to do But suddenly one of the lights of one of the tunnels seemed to start to fail because it turned on and off at intervals. It seemed curious to me that among so many tunnels only one begins to fail at that precise moment, so I trust that it was the work of my daughters. I decided to follow that tunnel.

When I started walking by that I could notice how the lights near me began to have the same erratic behavior, but from those that I was moving away, they recovered It was exactly what he had instructed Kazumi to do in case of nearby enemies, and paying attention to the intervals you can notice that some of the lights blink at a different interval. I think they are trying to guide me to the right place, so I follow them.

In one of the hallways I find two men guarding a door, surely there are hostages behind that. They were alert due to flickering lights. But taking advantage of a more or less long moment of darkness, I managed to get behind one and twisted his neck, although with difficulty. When the light turned on again, the other one just a meter from me was scared to see me and his partner dead. I jumped immediately and killed him in the same way, although he made a moan with his most terrifying voice while he was drowning I quickly went through his pockets and found the key they used and opened the door.

Inside was another guard and Haru on the ground with his eyes closed. With no time to do much, I threw myself against him again and we both fell on the ground. I took out the knife again to kill him but suddenly he hit me in the abdomen and he managed to throw me a few meters back, he took out a spear absolutely nowhere but he did not attack me with it. I knew that spear, it was one of the Goddess weapons that my wife used!

"Honey wait it's me!"
"I'm Tamamo" she said as the room was suddenly filled with there and the next second it dissipated, revealing the shape that she almost always uses, although without the ears or the tail.

"You could have warned first"
"You have no idea how surprise you gave me "I replied.

"I was planning to escape as soon as someone opened that door and escape with Haru."
"Although I think it was my mistake because even though I knew that you would come to rescue us, I took that form that caused the misunderstanding"

"Okay, anyway what you did was the right thing to do in the situation you were in"
"How is Haru?"

"I put her to sleep with a sleeping curse"
"She will be sound asleep while she has this talisman" she showed me how she had one of those papers stuck to her back that Tamamo writes when she has free time.

"That's perfect"
"At the entrance is Warlady's car, take it and get Haru out of here"
"Just remove the lever near the conduit seat down, move the lever from the center to where the D is, and step on the pedal to the right all the way"
"With the steering wheel you turn left or right but all in a straight line so do not turn it much, once near the entrance you step on the other two pedals that you did not use"
"And when it stops just get out of the car and hide in the forest, don't move until my mother calls you and tells you what to do"
"You understood everything?"

"Yes, of course, I will do my best"

"Okay, now goes the second part"
"As we are underground, the telephone signal does not reach until it is outside"
"I cannot communicate with my mother who is working with our daughters to make a plan to rescue others"
"Is there anything you can do about it?"

"Well, I could perhaps act as an illusion of a goddess appearing to deliver a message."
"But for that, I need the moon, so I think it's not a good idea"
"I can also enter your dreams and talk to you from there"

"I can't sleep in a situation like this"
"I  barely can stand up and not throw up."

"The other option would be to use this talisman with a speaking spell, but it is spent once you use it"
"Just receive a message that I send"
"So only I can only speak and you can only listen"

"How many do you have?"

"Two"

"Why so few?"

"Well the phone is a much more useful tool so I thought it was a waste to make them"

"Ok, it doesn't matter now, give it to me, wear one after talking to my mother and she tells you everything I need to know"
"The other one uses it when she tells you, although I would prefer it to be to warn me about the police."
"There are bombs in the place, so you better get out of here as soon as possible"
"All right? I took my gun and approached the door
