Chapter 52: "Overpower"

This chapter begins in a dark room of an abandoned house with two men, and they have each grave face.

Okutama, Nishitama District, Tokyo.
8,456 total population.

Ashura has a gun in his right hand, which is pointed at the back of Ben's head, while Ben raises his hand in respect, not because of fear in Ashura.
"From the style you're wearing, I'm sure you're one of the government's dogs! I can't forgive you for what you've done!"
Ashura said with his firm and loud voice.
"Tell me you're the Ashura Nakano the Prime Minister was talking about?"
Ben asked with calmness on his face.
"You're right! I'm sure he brought you here to kill me! Sorry, but I will kill you first!
"Oww, relax! Don't press your gun! I'm here to talk and not to fight you!"
"Sorry! I have no time to talk with a bastard dog like you!"
Ashura was about to fire his gun when Ben turned around quickly, and the two were fighting for the gun thing.
"You can't kill me!"
Ashura is desperate to protect himself and kill Ben.
"Relax, man! I'm here to say that the prime minister is innocent!"
Ben is trying to please Ashura.
"Hahaha! And do you think I will believe you?! I will never trust him again!"
Ashura answered him firmly.
"I'm not lying, man!
"Quiet, you dog!
Ashura used his force by pulling Ben's hand towards the outside of the abandoned house, and Ben was pulled away to the ground.
"Urrg! He's too strong!"
Ben's shocked expression from the moment he is in the air.
"Are you shocked, government dog?! That's the power of a wild wolf!"
Ben was shocked when Ashura charged down on top of him again with his burning equipment.
Ashura is wearing a full black kimono like the clothes of one of the famous anime characters before, and it is Kurei in the Flame of Recca. His neck has a large cross scar, and his right hand has a long burn mark.
"Hey, men, relax!"
"I can't relax while looking at the dog like you! I feel fierce! Then take this, my flames of madness!"
"Hey! A wolf and a dog have the same breed!"
Ben said with a shocked face comically.
Ashura releases flames from his mouth, but Ben quickly dodges it.
"Pheww! I almost got burned there!"
Ben said after dodging Ashura's attack quickly.
"Hmm, I thought you were a practiced and skilled government dog, but you can't get away this time! I need to hurry. I don't have time for the likes of you!"
Ashura got his equipment and produced supermassive flames, which shocked Ben.
"It's too massive! I can't avoid that!"
Ben stands his body firmly with his two hands crossing each other.
"Mighty rising sun!"
The created flames of Ashura hit Ben and spread to its surroundings.
"Freezing body!"
Ben was lowering his body temperature like it was freezing.
"The pressure is much higher than my resistance! No human being in this world can create this kind of massive fire, even a man with a pyromaniac condition! It will burn me if I don't fight back!"
"Freezing Pressure!"
Ben blew cold air to overpower the flames Ashura had created.
"Haha, that's what should happen to dogs like you! I have no time to waste!"
Ashura ran so fast that he didn't notice that his flames were slowly fading in the cold air that Ben was making.
"Where is he?!"
Ben asked in surprise because Ashura was no longer in his sight.

The scene moved to the standing group of Ashura with courage in their bodies and faces as if they were a sign of their attack, and they numbered approximately two thousand.
They are in an unknown and isolated place near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Capital Area.

Secret route to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Area

"Brother. Has brother Ashura not arrived yet?"
One of the male leaders of their group asked in panic.
"Not yet! I don't even know why he took so long."
One of the leaders of their group replied that he was also the person who knew where Ashura had gone.
Their supreme leader, Ashura, arrived in a few seconds.
"Brother! It's good that you are here!"
One of the male leaders said in shock with an amused look.
"Excuse me because I did not come early. I just killed a dog that wants to bite me. Is everyone ready!"
Ashura explained, then asked them all.
"Everything is ready, brother Ashura."
"Are you sure they will all be able to fight?"
"Brother, I taught some of them to use weapons while making fire with our tools."
"It's good. Line up the children in front, and if they do it again, stand up and protect all of them. It is where I can gauge the Prime Minister's conscience. 
"Brother, this is the first time we will use this secret route we created for years to get to the front of the government! So get ready!"
"Yes, brother!"
They marched towards the front of the entrance of the capital government area and saw some military men on both sides of the open big gate as if they were just allowed to enter.

"Ashura, why aren't they attacking us?! Are they expecting this?!"
"Don't get yourself into this situation because I'm sure it's just a trap, so keep your eyes and senses sharp."
A man was watching somewhere, and his appearance was shrouded in darkness.
In this dark place, this man walked to the bright side and went to the front gate, which shocked all military personnel, then raised all their gun to him.
"Chief?! How did you escape, and what is your purpose here? Raise your hand!"
One of the military guards said, and also the one who allied with Jojie Chorei.
"Hahaha, your stupidity is funny, you traitors! You only imprisoned me and not my secret associates! So now, I'm going to make you choose. Will you attack the rebels or die now?!"
All the military were nervous, but the one with the highest courage countered it.
"Don't panic! Always think about who should lead the country, and it's not him!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers kept their position with no fear in their hearts.
"Hahaha, you fools! Then prepare to die!
In front of the gate, military vehicles passed by and fired bullets at all the guards.
The sound of gunfire from the treacherous military was heard throughout the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Area, even by Ashura and his group.
"What is that, brother?!"
Ashura was behind them, and he and his group saw the running treacherous military armies that seemed to attack them.
"Brother!!"
All of his co-leaders were shocked and in panic.
"Like I said! Hurry up! Protect the children! The dirty dogs will always be a mess!"
The front row of Ashura's group had their guns raised and were ready for what was to come.
The treacherous military armies led by Yutaka Fujimori attacked Ashura's groups without hesitation, and they are now in a shooting war.
Ashura watched what was happening and felt angry due to the treacherous military's extreme abilities. Ashura turned his gaze to Yutaka Fujimori's place, who responded to his burning gaze.
"You! You have not learned! I'm going to kill you!"
"Oww, it's you, demon!"
"Get the fire trucks ready and throw water on those crazy dogs!"
Yutaka Fujimori commands his military armies to call and prepare four fire truck vehicles.
"If you think what you did will happen again, you are wrong!
"Brother, they have fire trucks! How is this?! Our fires will now be useless!
Ashura was confused and just looked at the arriving fire trucks.
The scene moves outside the front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, where the Prime Minister is.

"What happened? Why is there a commotion?!"
"Prime Minister, our guards at the entrance gate were all ambushed by a military group led by Chief Yutaka Fujimori, and now they are attacking rebel groups!"
One of his military personnel reported to him.
"What?! But how did that traitor get out?! I'm sure he plotted this from the start as his second plan. 
"Everyone get ready, and let's go after them!
He added and commanded them, which shocked all of his personnel.
"What, prime minister?! But it's dangerous. You will become an easy target!"
"I don't care! If all of you are genuine armies of our country, follow me!"
All his personnel agreed with him. They prepared five hundred military armies and walked towards the scene as they all marched behind the Prime Minister.
The scene returned to Ashura's burning eyes as he watched the rest of his comrades, who were all thrown away by the force of the fire truck's water and the environment covered in water.
"Scumbags! I can't forgive you! Your water has nothing to do with my fire of anger!"
All of you! Stand aside and leave this fight to me!
Ashura said with his firm and burning gaze.
"Brother, Ashura?!"
Said one of the leaders of Ashura's group, and they all looked and did what he ordered.
Ashura's whole body released a burning fire and grew constantly and hotter, which scared the treacherous military armies.
Yutaka Fujimori got so afraid and commanded his military unit.
"Throw him our massive force of water and use your gun!"
They followed him, but before the waters and bullets could reach him, they melted and dissolved only as Ashura's flames continued to burn.
"All of you accept my anger!"
"Burning Sun's brother!"
Ashura shouted, and all the treacherous military armies ran with Yutaka Fujimori. They tried to run, but they were all burned by Ashura's hellfire.
"Brother?!"
"How did he do that?! It is the second time we've seen him do it, but it's stronger than the first!"
"Is he brother Ashura? He's like a god of fire!"
"I'm scared!"
All of his co-leaders and members were shocked and responded.
"All of you! Return to your places and turn to continue the attack!"
"Yes, yes, brother!
Everyone followed Ashura's order and slowly faced and walked towards their destination. They gradually saw the military marching behind the Prime Minister.

"Bro, brother, the prime minister is coming here!"
"It's good then, Get ready! Our target is here! It's good that he came out himself! We don't need to waste effort!"
All of them were ready and pointed their guns until the Prime Minister and his military companions faced them.
In a corner of the scene, our protagonists were watching.
"Ben, it seems similar to what happened in your country! Shouldn't we help?"
"No, it is out of respect or deference to the wishes of the Prime Minister. But unlike this, it's not so tragic, causing civil war in our country. He plans to hide this issue by allowing Ashura and his group to enter."
Ben suddenly thought deeply about something when he turned his gaze to the moving body of Yutaka Fujimori. 
Yutaka Fujimori's left hand burned but alive by the protection of his five military units. He stood up and slowly ran outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government area, and Ben hurriedly ran to follow the traitor chief's whereabouts.
The Prime Minister ordered his soldiers to throw their guns on the cement floor, and he made them all kneel before Ashura, who in turn surprised them.
"Brother, why did they do that? Are they surrendering themselves to us?"
"Don't be complacent! I'm sure it's another trap!"
Ashura warned all of them and then talked to the Prime Minister with his firm words.
"What trick is this, Prime Minister?! Why don't you fight back?! Or you will do something dirty again! No matter what it is, you have nothing to do with this burning fire of mine!"
"Ashura, let's stop this!"
The Prime Minister knelt and cried on the hard ground, which shocked Ashura.
"What kind of acting is this?! You want to kill us, and then you kneel before us as if begging, and what do you think we will feel pity on you?! That's where you're wrong!"
"Ashura, I treated you as my son, you know that! I ask for forgiveness for what my treacherous cabinet and military have done. Blame it all on me. Kill me if you want! I was the one who made a mistake. I was the weak and worthless leader of our country!"
Ashura's mood changed at what the Prime Minister said a little, but he still answered with a look of anger.
"Stupid! Even if you don't say it, I'll do it!"
Ashura was about to burn the Prime Minister with his flame-emitting device but suddenly had second thoughts.
"Ashura, do it! Kill me! I'm happy to be with your good father in heaven!"
"Shut up! Good father?! Despite his goodness, he and my family were all killed by your proud government?! How you explained it!"
"Ashura, believe me, even I don't know the whole incident because, like you, I am also looking for justice for your father, so I did everything to become the Prime Minister of our country!"
"After I knew that you were fighting against our government, I was saddened because your father wouldn't like it!"
"You won't want to?! And what do you want me to do? Sleep every day with the pain in my heart?!"
"Ashura! I understand how you feel because I feel the same way. I want to change this country and prove that I can fix it! I will change everything and do my best to end corruption, greed, and killing without permission just for power. Give me a few more years, and I'll do it!"
The prime minister kneeled with his armed military armies. 
"Give us another chance to serve our nation with honesty and integrity."
Their words broke Ashura's heart, and then he observed his dead comrades and burned military armies.
"Is it me?!"
Ashura kneels and apologizes to his father and remembers his past.
"Ashura, son, even if they think of you as bad because of your condition. Always remember that you are a good person."
"No matter how much fire you have, it will always disappear."
"Am I not bad even though I've burned a lot?!"
"No, son, you can burn everything, but all can be replaced, right? Your dad is here to protect you. Go home."
"Remember, no matter how painful the past is, don't do vengeance, but think about the future! Is that clear?!"
"Yes, father."
"Stay there, son, and your uncle and I are leaving."
"Be careful and behave Ashura, okay? Always remember that you are a kind child."
"Yes, my father and uncle."
The man Ashura had a condition called pyromania when he was young, and he often set fire to other houses and things because he couldn't stop it. Despite this, he was always kind to his father and uncle, their Prime Minister.
The scene shifts to Yutaka Fujimori, who is painting and about to get into his car when he suddenly feels something hard on the back of his head.
"Where are you going?!"
Ben shows firmly and stops Yutaka Fujimori.
"You?! Bastard, general! Let me go!"
"And why should I follow what you want?!"
"You are just a foreigner to this country! You have no rights!"
"How did you rise to your position when you don't know the genuine responsibility of a military man? You must be too forgetful!"
"I do not care!"
The treacherous chief of staff turned quickly, and the two fought over a gun.
"You did not learn. We're in this situation again!"
"You beat me the first time, but now you can't beat me a second time!"
"Really?! Do you know what I learned from a leader you pissed off so much?!"
Ben pulled Yutaka Fujimori's hand and threw him to the ground. Yutaka Fujimori pulled out a gun, but before he could fire it, Ben got ahead of him in the middle when they fought for the gun.
"Yeah, alright! I'm sorry because I'm stronger than you!"
Two days ago.

"Brothers! Contact everyone who has returned here until tomorrow! You all know that tragedy will happen, so prepare and dig even deeper!"
"Yes, brother, Ashura!"
"I will assure you that I can save you all! But I'm so frustrated that I can't help everyone in our country."
"What about the whole world, brother, Ashura?"
"I don't care about others because I want to save our country only, but I don't know how. Even if I could make an eternal fire, it wouldn't be enough for them!"
"In that case, brother, trusting God's miracle is our best choice!"
The scene switches to Ben driving his car to an unknown place.

"His has abnormal ability! He has a unique ability that humans can't! It's not because of his condition. If he's 28 years old, he can control it. It's suspicious. I want to ask him everything!
Ben was heading towards where Ashura and his group were and hoping to answer everything in his mind.
