Location: Brisked Bear

It was snowfall again, with green snowflakes radiating the surrounding area. Amidst the fallen debris and wreckage, there were small shacks built by the remaining survivors before they too were taken by "them". Lots upon lots of these creatures are seen, but they all have dispersed and gone out into multiple islands to continue their ever-so-inscrutable goals.

"Hooo... Welp, guess I gotta look for somethin' to eat.." a boy said, his eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness as he woke up from his "bed", made from what seemed to be a pile of concrete bags. He looks down and wears his sandals, putting one foot at a time. Standing up, he walks over to a broken and rusty drawer infested by wood-boring beetles, where opening it reveals a stained grey shirt and a black hoodie, covering what seems to be a bouquet of white flowers and a black bullpup stock.

...

Turning on the flashlight as it makes a clicking sound, the boy trekked the wrecked buildings, still yawning as he looks on.

"Ahh... there's nothin' there, also that.... and that too..." he said, sighing as he continued.

There were so many guts and blood thrown around the city, though it never bothered him given he's used to seeing them on live television ever since the very first invasion. Though he is still disgusted by them given he's looking for food and not some edgy painting made by a serial killer- other rather... serial killers...

"The pizza was good, wish I could find 'nother jackpot like tha-"

A noise broke out of his out-loud monologue, he pulls out a modified P90 from his hip, puts the dial on full-auto, and start to **** the charging handle before letting go, the sound of metal echoing as he approaches the noise. He places his cheek on the stock, his grip unwavering as he trained his sights on whoever's going on to be on the other end of the barrel.

"Ah, shit... Here we go again..."
 
With the two injured heavily, the arms quickly grabbed and pulled them from the bunker and into the hands of the gangsters outside
Caleb was alive, but on a worse state than he ever has been. His arms and legs that got caught under the frame of the bed before the bunker collapsed were crushed and shattered. They limply dangled. Though other than their limbs, they were mostly saved by the bed above them. It was hard for them to burst out in tears which wasn't common for them.

Sofia though in pain has shown over and over again she can think clearly in most situations. She was quickly eyeing around the field to find the source of the contraband user and Marcy, she would expect her to be of use right now.

With Darren among the hostages, Marcy was helpless to act, something the leader somehow knew and despite her not being in the lineup, she was very well out for the count.
Dene made a run for it as he creates glass spheres to detect the enemy through the vibrations.
The movement of the cars and the sheer volume of enemies ruined whatever efforts he attempted as yet another explosion rumbled through the remains of the bunker, the vibrations causing more debris to fall over him

"Tch!"

He ran further and further away, slowly avoiding the team.

"W- where's that dementia ******!?" he thought, slowly making guns to fling himself to the location where his house is supposed to be.

"Around north from here..."

The speed at which he's travelling causes sonic booms to be present, his desperation alleviating the pain from his previous battles, even if it's just a little.

In his rush, he suddenly reappeared back in where the fight occurred and before he could react, a gun stock was slammed at his head, knocking him out thoroughly

"Where's the bastard hiding..." She looked over from vehicle to vehicle as quickly as she could. She was going to take the Contraband user out in one go.

"We got a vengeful one! Mindbreaker, you're up!" one of the men said. In an instant, Sofia felt something peer into her mind, removing the memories of the contraband users in the fight and simply skipping into the scene of her capture. The sensation felt odd though soon she didn't even realize anything had happened to her, only remembering getting captured after the explosion

Rizzuto sped off after Caleb using TK to pick up the gangsters in his way and slam them all into the ground where he proceeded to manipulate the earth into forming spikes to impale them.

"W-What? What was... shit, did I drink enough water today..?" She held her hand on her head. The sudden change left her confused.

The spikes were all pushed down while the gangsters remain standing, a transparent film covering both. In an instant, metal arms reached towards his head and slammed right into it, knocking him out

(Ok what? I understand you're having fun with one off characters with unspecified abilities but come on man that's just blatantly railroading our characters. However, I will temporarily allow it without much complaint because I want to see where this is going.)
 
Noah tried to resist the attempt to be pulled but seeing that everyone is being affected and feeling the agony of others to a lesser extent, she leaves on her own, like an impulse she made her way pushing everything around her like a devastating explosion, she looked at the what was going on outside

In her sight, one of the men merely looked at Noah, his gun pointed at the unconscious Dene, his finger extremely close to trigger

"Surrender" he said
 
Out of the rubble, a massive sword revealed itself. The blade reached tens of meters into the sky, and with a quick slash, it cleaved through anyone in its way. With its shockwave launching out further, causing people and vehicles further away to be cut clean in half down the torso. Seems like Valentina was finally putting all her training to use.

The gangsters began to spread out as explosives were fired all around, explosions occurring all around Valentina

By spinning her blade around her like a fan, she's able to generate shockwaves that fan the explosions away from her. As the smoke clouds clear from the explosion, she can be seen running out with her blades shrunken. She was going to wipe out as much of the opposing force as she could.

With the dire state of affairs, Valentina suddenly found herself disappearing from where she stood, reappearing in a dark place devoid of light

Anticipating some type of an illusion due to the previous adventure into a ruined city, she drove her blades into the ground at full force. If this were just in her head, everything around her would be sent flying with the ground around her cracking.

However this wasn't illusion, she had merely been teleported somewhere else, somewhere... empty. Her energy blast went on, shining on nothing in this space

She wasn't yet deterred. She continued to swing her blades around with blinding speed and proficiency. Slashing at the ground and repeatedly sending out shockwaves over and over again. Perhaps if they persisted, they could overwhelm the strange space.
"I'll show you to lock me away..."

Outside, one of the men recovering from Valentina's first attack managed to find his radiophone.

"Leave her there, she'll get tired eventually" he said

She spins one of her swords in her hand. It shrunk down, changing back into a hair pin. She stabbed it back into her hair, keeping one sword out as she started to walk in a straight line.
"There's a floor here, so there has to be a wall.. right? There's gotta be a way to escape this Contraband.."
 
Meanwhile...

Back in Henosis Headquarters...

After the training with Damian, Eqowir heads over to the headquarters, going to the "Records" Room as she passes by multiple shelves of deceased individuals, their Contraband no longer functioning, and displays of their profiles. She takes a look at each one, before stopping at a specific folder, pulling it out, and carefully opening it.


"Hmmm...."

She skims through the paper, occasionally wiping off the dust by blowing them. It contains specific kinds of Waterboarders, all researched by specific individuals, including Sir Efrain himself. As she traced through the names with her finger, she stopped at a specific individual, with parenthesis saying that this particular person remains alive.

"What are you doing there Eqo?" Paige asked as she leaned on the wall, turning on the lights to reveal Eqowir reading the folder.

"Just, umm, checking stuff..." she glanced at her before turning her gaze back at the paper.

"Is it about Efrain's subordinates?" Paige asked.

"How'd you know?" Eqowir asked back, looking at her with confusion.

"Well, I've arrived here for the same reason. It's kinda hard to believe that one of his men is still alive, and he's been keeping it a secret. I bet not even Soma knows about it, given he hasn't got a clue about what happened... Or maybe he was just too lazy to ask..." Paige explained, placing her hand on her chin.

"I mean, all we heard from the news back then was that Efrain is the only founder of Henosis- "he has built it by himself and not with anyone else". At least, that's what the news thinks it is. They either excluded the other members for the sake of propaganda or try to promote his existence as a sole figure, maybe since they were trying to achieve something similar to when a politician is running for elections. They thought that it could probably ruin the image if there were a group, as opposed to a single person, making the impact of him building the organization as well as being recognized as a one-man army be all the more effective. That isn't to say Sir Efrain's not capable of doing such a thing, but the news doing such a thing has its merits and its downsides." Eqowir commented, slowly closing the book.

"Agreed. And plus, they are somewhat desperate given the increasing amount of deaths per day and the constant panic people have been experiencing." Paige replied.

"Speaking of which, any clue as to who was the subordinate still alive?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's around..." Eqowir opens the folder once again, moving near her as she shows it. "Right here..." she points to the name of the individual.

"Ceallagh Yahui... (Status: Alive).." Paige said, taking a closer look. "The font and color of the writing too..."

"It's handwritten, which means someone is changing it," Eqowir added.

"We have to ask Sir Efrain about this," Paige said, looking at her.

"But he's in a meeting right now..." Eqowir replied, suddenly realizing something as her eyes widen.

"All the more reason to. This person could be there..." Paige said.

"Right."

The two ladies walk to the meeting room, a couple of minutes passing by as they get downstairs.
 
Noah watched as the team was defeated, it was all her own fault, the Waterboarder could just escape from this situation in the past, take a leap and not look back... but in this was not her past, she changed for the better and worse

Then she fell to her knees in defeat, touching the hard ground with her hands as frustration consumed her.

The group of survivors were lined up as the leader descended from his truck, seemingly walking perfectly fine despite previously getting crushed, blood still staining his armor. Raising his radiophone, he called out.

"Alright Void, release the Energy Blade girl".

Valentina finds herself released next to her allies who are all under threat of gunfire, as was she.

"Listen up, mucksucking vermin! Say goodbye to any silence for the roaring engine will be all you hear! Say goodbye to any stability for we'll always be on the run! And say goodbye to your safety for the dragon will always hunt you down... Here, the Roadrunners will make sure you'll be of use!" the leader explained while walking in front of the group, a hunched man walking by his side, wielding a stick. The leader stopped in his tracks, looking at the hunched man despite no sound or movement done.

"You're right, Voyant. There's way too many of them" the leader said, pulling out a mace and pointing it at Darren.

"Let's get rid of the weakest!".

At this display, Voyant seemingly froze in fear before quickly grabbing the leader, almost getting hit in the process. Seeing the hunched man in such distress, the leader stopped his agression.

"What?! The guy doesn't even have contraband on him!" he asked. In response, Voyant made a gesture with his staff, stunning his superior for a moment and once snapping out of it, he stumbled for just a moment and began looking around before looking back at the group.

"Fine, your choice"
 
The two ladies walk to the meeting room, a couple of minutes passing by as they get downstairs.
"Oh hello, is something wrong?" Tessa asked.
"What are you planning to do?" Noah said without looking at them
"Darren's off limits. At least until I've paid him back." Sofia commented
Voyant walked in front of the group, observing each of them for just a second before returning to the leader who begins nodding. Turning to his men, he called.

"Take those two!".

Caleb and Jack found themselves taken by the gangsters, tossed down in front of their group.

"Fire and ice?! We've got at least 10 of em, 7 of which we fed to the ******* dragon! " the leader said to Jack before turning to Caleb.

"And as for you, we don't need any more support. We need something that can kill...".

Turning to the rest of the group, the leader rested his mace over his shoulder.

"Since it's your team, I'll let ya choose whose mouth gets fed. Better be quick, cause I'd prefer having less..." he said

"Caleb..." Sofia muttered. She got along well with him for the short time she's spent with him.

"I'm more than capable of killing when the time calls..." Caleb quietly grunts. They were still in tremendous pain from their shattered limbs, but at a time like this, they're able to scrape up some composure.
