The Year 2021
Black Storm Day
Gaming Cafe
"Face the wrath of the almighty Thor hamr!!!" Mosu said dramatically.
"Dammit I can’t seem to get this right" Kaneko said sighing, dropping the keypads.
He then turned to San and Mosu engrossed in their gas.
"I still can’t keep up with these two" he said with a smile against his lips.
He t both of them in this very cafe, they ca regularly to play gas, so he just sorta flowed with and they beca friends. Everyday he eagerly couldn’t wait to play with them.
Mosu phone rang.
He brought it out from his pocket, his eyes still on the screen, the call ends and then a ssage ca in.
"Haaa...my dad he’s here, he just arrived!" He exclaid.
"What? So soon?" San said with a start, over the past year, San has put on height, he was no longer the little kid he was any longer.
"We gotta go, he’s waiting at the amusent park" he said rising to his feet, talking off the headset.
San did too.
Mosu was the first to rush out.
"See you Kaneko" San said with a smile against his lips before dashing out after Mosu.
"Okay" he said.
***
"Slow down Mosu" San said trying to catch up to him, chest heaving as he gasped for more air.
In a few distance away Ten ca out of a store with a smile against his lips, holding a small gift bag.

Mosu and San ran past him.
Then a vibration shook the earth thoroughly.
Mosu and San halted their steps as they stared at the explosion a distance away, going up in smoke and flas into the skies broadly.
They stared in awe and shock along with others around.
’The Day Of The Black Storm’
It leveled down in a great wave as the explosion wiped everything in sight.

Ruins of Tokyo
’I was glad when I woke up in the white room, I was with Mosu and Kaneko... but sadly we were now orphans, our loved ones gone. Now soldiers tasked with the responsibility of reclaiming the outside world’ San thought weakly, his arms around Mosu’s neck giving him a piggy back ride.
’Who would have thought things will turn out like this... 3 years ago we were just regulars kids living our lives to the fullest, now we face things worse than death’ his eyes trembled, a flash of Kaneko death ca in his head. ’Friends gone... facing terrifying monsters who were once civilians... once human beings... or more once our families’ his lips pressed in a thin line.
The sun at its highest peak, San grew weaker by the second, the pain in his shoulder becoming unbearable, his body going more numb that he couldn’t feel anything, he couldn’t sll, he couldn’t taste his lips any longer.
He knew then what was coming, bur he didn’t panic even though he was scared to the bones.
Tears stread down his cheeks uncontrollably.
"I see it!" Mosu said elated, his eyes at the river banks, the sight of the Hellhounds and vehicles could be seen.
"Hang on San, we’re almost there, you are gonna be okay" Mosu said adjusting him properly on his back, increasing his pace.
San’s ears fell deaf, he didn’t hear a thing, neither did he feel a thing.
’In all my life, I’m glad I t you... Saionji Mosu, you saved
from death once, and now you are doing it again, I don’t know how I can ever repay you... maybe in the next life’ his eyes slowly shut close, tears streaming down his cheeks. ’I’m sorry Mosu... but I can’t follow you around anymore. For what it’s worth the years you were in my life was one of the best. Thank you, Mosu.’
Mosu took harsh breath now dashing towards the river banks, eager to be close.

"Soone’s coming" Mizuki hissed using his binoculars to view the distance.
"Who is it Hiro and the others?" Ten asked haste, using his binocular also.
He froze.
"That’s Mosu..." he said.
"And is that San at his back?".
"This is bad... they look injured" Kaneki panics.
Mirai quickly turned to Kashi.
"Dr. Kashi we need help!" She called.
Kashi turned.
***
Mosu kept running taking harsh breath.
"Hold on San...hold on, we’re almost there" he got to the edge. "Look we are here! Just a little longer. Just a little longer!"
Few of the others already crossed over, rushing to him.
"Help ! San is hurt!" Mosu hissed giving out as he went on his knees taking harsh breath.
They helped San off his back placing lying him on the ground.
With one look at San, Kashi knew as his eyes sadden.
"Hey! You’re a doctor, do your doctor stuff!" Mosu hissed pissed, wondering why he wasn’t getting to work. More delay will only cause San more pain and he didn’t want that.
Kashi sad eyes t Mosu’s, Mosu froze seeing his look.
"He’s..." Ten eyes shakes.
"Dead"
"SHUT UP!" Mosu shouts, not wanting to hear that word. How dare they say that?!
"Mosu" Kaneki placed a hand on his shoulder but he jerk it off.
"Don’t give
that bullshit, he can’t be dead... I told him to hold on! San always listens to , so he can’t be dead he can’t be!" He hissed as his body trembled.
"His wound was very fatal, he’s been slowly dying since the mont he got this wound, there wasn’t hope for him" Kashi said sadly.
’You an, he’s been carrying around a corspe?’ Mirai thought with shaky eyes.
"It can’t be" Mosu said as his eyes circled in tears.
He turned to a lifeless San.
"Hey butthead" he shooks him like he always did.
"Wake up... wake up you dummy!" He hissed and then he broke.
"Wake up buddy, wake up..." he sobs.
"You said you will always follow
around, didn’t you, so wake up" he cried, begging, shaking for him to respond and open his eyes but he never did.
"WAKE UP!!!"
