"I don't see your comrades, don't tell me you came here alone." The man let a creepy grin slip off his lips. "Big mistake hon, who's gonna take your body back?"
"Don't waste our time Tiger, we ain't got all day," Xin said before turning her heels back into the warehouse.
The man whose name is Tiger smiled. "You heard her. I don't have all day, so come at me... And don't you hold anything back?" The man wrapped his chain around his fist.
Emerald grits her teeth and charges forward. She swing her weapon at Tiger who effortlessly punched it off with his right and landed a quick jab with his left on Agent Klay's jaw, he then used his shoulder and knocked her backward.
Emerald used her stick to balance herself just in time. Her opponent grinned wickedly and clasped his fist together. "Come on, you came here for revenge, didn't you? Don't let me knock you out, just like I did last time."
Emerald launched herself forward again while swinging her stick over her head. She hurled it at him with force. "Is that all you've got?" Tiger hits the stick away while laughing.
The moment he turned back, Emerald's fist catches him in the stomach. She then pulled out a dagger and attempted to cut through Tiger's throat but he managed to pull back, away from the attack.
He smiled as she still charge forward after him. He shifts his head to the side, letting her dagger fly past the side of his head. Now that she was close enough, he raised her on his shoulder and slam her back onto the pole.
Tiger let out a wicked laugh and throw a left hook that the ARCHER agent managed to escape. The pole break into two as Tiger's punch hits it. Tiger turned to face her. "That's it?"
Emerald kept a distance between Tiger and herself. She picked up her dagger from the ground.
"Okay. Enough playing around, let's end this."
"You're right." Emerald inhaled deeply and hold her breath. She tightened her grip on her knife before charging forward with the dagger behind her. She switched to the left as Tiger threw a right then to the right as he tried a left. Emerald slashed through the area below his armpit. She dodged another attack and cut his shin open. She then blocks his punch with her forearm and drove the dagger into his abdomen.
Emerald threw her left hand at Tiger who managed to dodge the attack. The moment he did, she used her right to strike an uppercut that catch the man cleanly on the jaw. Emerald used her foot to shoot her stick up from the ground. She catches it and unhesitatingly thrust it forward at the Tiger's chest.
Xin managed to kick Emerald back just in time. "Help Asuncion get out of here, it's an order, Tiger."
Tiger grits his teeth as he glared at Emerald for a moment before walking into the warehouse.
Xin raised her rifle to open fire but Emerald toss a chip that glued to the gun, stopping it from shooting.
"You agents are insufferable," Xin pointed out before launching herself forward. She thrust her hand directly at the ARCHER agent's face who swiftly puts her stick between her face and Xin's hand. The stick hits zero degrees and froze in Emerald's hand.
Emerald dropped the stick and punched Xin with a left that was quickly followed by a right. She gave Xin no time to recover as she stroke her with a roundhouse kick, sending her back into one of the damaged cars.
Agent Klay pulled out her gun and shoot at Xin who skillfully dodge the attack with precise speed. She stepped on a car and used it to propel herself up as she threw a fist at Emerald.
The dark-haired girl swiftly dropped the gun and catches Xin by the neck in midair. Emerald stomp her on the ground with a heavy thud that sent dust rising everywhere. Xin attempted to stand but the ARCHER agent kicked her back down with her right foot.
Agent Klay take out a chip and held it between Xin's hands. The chip turned into a binder that cuffed Xin's hands together. "Stay put young lady."
Meanwhile, inside the building, Storm 01 grimaced as Asuncion stabbed another shot of the syrup she had in her bag into his thigh. She reached for her bag to get another syringe but the bag was empty.
Storm 01 breathes heavily and raised his head to look at Asuncion. His vision had once again become blurry and his body had gone numb. He tried to speak but couldn't make out any word.
Tiger rushed into the warehouse to where Asuncion was. "We should leave, the agents are here."
Emerald walked into the warehouse while putting on Xin's gloves. Three other guys that were also in the warehouse charged at her but Emerald easily put them all out.
Asuncion began to peel her flesh with her nails again, she was getting lost in the heat of the moment.
She yelled furiously and carried an automated rifle from a nearby table and opened fire at Agent Klay. She didn't stop even when Klay hid behind a car until the gun was not shooting again.
Asuncion threw the gun on the ground and take a smaller gun from Tiger's belt. She walked up to Storm 01 and raised the gun at his head to shoot but the gun went flying out of her hand from Emerald's shot.
"Kill her, shoot her down." Asuncion was in a panic. One of Emerald's bullets had hit her in the neck. She covered the wound with her hand, trying to stop the bleeding.
Asuncion breathes rapidly as she drags Storm 01 with her free hand and made her way out through a back door. Storm 01 couldn't do anything as she pulled him through the thick snow-filled ground. The syrup had completely weakened his body. The ground below which Asuncion stood over became covered with blood. Realizing that it was impossible to escape along with Storm 01 with the injury in her neck, Asuncion let go of the Storm agent and continued on her own.
After taking a few more steps forward, Asuncion fell to the ground. She had lost far too much blood to keep going. Her breathing became heavy as she lay on her stomach. "Ram-sey…" she muttered before her eyes closed shut.
…
Storm 01 opened his eyes. He groaned as he felt a throbbing headache that went away as quickly as it happened. The side of his lips curled up a little. He had never been happier to wake up in the sick bay.
Storm 01 looked to his side to see Jesselyn asleep on a chair beside him. He smiled as he remembered the last time she was seated next to him like that. He take the blanket on the bed and covered her with it before walking out of the room.
Storm 01 turned towards the Blue Troopers section. As he walked, he realized the place was too quiet and he had not seen anybody since he exit the sickbay.
He entered the Blue section and noticed a lady with sky-blue hair sitting on a chair and staring into her phone. She noticed him and raised her head to look at him. "Oh hi," she greeted.
"Hi."
She smiled brightly, her eyes still fixed on Storm 01. "Where… where is everyone?" Storm 01 broke the silence.
"Oh, yeah… Winter Weir. Miss Havishma and Chief are at the Prime Hall on the situation regarding Madeline… I mean Agent Gurley. And one Storm 05 went after the rest of the Meta family with Agent Klay after bringing you in. They've decided to do a clean sweep around Zoda and the Underground, my god I'm talking too much. I should stop, talking" The lady tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Percy's back in action." Storm 01 smiled.
"Scarlett Starr." The duo both turned to the voice calling. A blue agent stood in front of a door.
"Yeah?" The sky-blue-haired lady mumbled.
"We are ready for you?" The blue agent replied with a bit of confusion in her words.
"Oh right, I'm Scarlett Starr," she chuckled. "See you later, handsome," she added before walking through the door.
The blue agent turned to Storm 01. "Agent Storm 01, you must be here to see Ishary."
"Actually, I was here to see the Storm Troopers. But, what happened to Ishary?"
"You've been gone for long, agent, a lot happened. But worry not, both Ishary and the Storm troopers are stable, you can see them if you want."
"Of course."
*Winter Weir* The Prime Hall.
Miss Havishma sat on a chair among others from D.H. in the medieval-like courtroom in the Prime Hall.
Prime Damiano Silverr stood up and cleared his throat. "Well, after hearing all that has been said, the People and I have concluded." He looked at Miss Havishma and Chief then at Madeline before he continued. "We cannot end Department H, or force Miss Havishma and Chief to write in their resignation letter, not after all the great things these two, three, bodies have brought upon Winter Weir. So instead, as of this moment, Department H is back under the Cycle Organization."
