Night covered the city.
Cold.
Silent.
Dangerous.
Kai stood at the edge of a rooftop, looking down at an abandoned industrial zone.
Broken buildings.
No lights.
No life.
But he could feel it.
"…They're here."
Behind him—
Footsteps.
Axel arrived, lightning flickering faintly.
"This place gives me bad vibes," he said.
Kai didn't respond.
His eyes were locked on one building.
"…That one."
Axel followed his gaze.
"You're sure?"
Kai nodded.
"I can feel her."
Axel smirked slightly.
"Guess we're not knocking then."
Kai stepped forward.
"No."
A pause.
"We're breaking in."
—
Inside the facility…
Zara hung from restraints.
Her breathing weak.
Her body marked from experiments.
But her eyes—
Still alive.
"Subject stability increasing," one of the Dragon members said.
"Prepare the next phase."
Zara forced a weak smile.
"…You guys talk too much."
The leader stepped forward.
"Your resistance is impressive."
A pause.
"But it won't last."
Zara glared at him.
"…You don't know me."
—
Outside—
Kai and Axel stood at the entrance.
Two guards blocked the door.
"Stop right there—"
They didn't finish.
WHOOSH!
Kai moved.
BAM!
Both guards dropped instantly.
Axel blinked.
"…You're not even trying to hide it anymore."
Kai walked forward.
"I told you."
His eyes glowed faintly red.
"…This is war."
—
They entered.
Alarms blared instantly.
Red lights flashed.
"INTRUDERS DETECTED!"
Footsteps echoed from every direction.
Dozens of Dragon members rushed in.
Axel grinned.
"Finally."
Lightning exploded around him.
CRACK!
Enemies were thrown back instantly.
Kai walked forward calmly.
Untouched.
Unbothered.
Anyone who got close—
Fell.
Fast.
Efficient.
Cold.
"Where is she?" Axel shouted.
Kai closed his eyes for a second.
Then pointed forward.
"…This way."
They moved deeper.
Breaking through every defense.
Nothing could stop them.
—
Inside the main chamber—
The leader looked up.
"…So they came."
A faint smile appeared.
"Perfect."
Zara lifted her head slightly.
"…Kai…"
—
Back in the corridor—
Kai stopped.
A heavy presence filled the air.
Different from the others.
Stronger.
Dangerous.
Axel felt it too.
"…Looks like we found the boss."
The door ahead slowly opened.
Darkness waited inside.
Kai stepped forward.
No hesitation.
Because on the other side—
Was Zara.
And anyone standing between him and her…
Was about to fall.
