THE NEW WORLD
The blaring spotlights stabbed through the dark like daggers. Jonah, Hina, and Kade froze—trapped in the harsh glow.
"Hold your ground!" a voice barked from the compound walls. Armed guards swarmed out, guns raised and ready.
Jonah's eyes narrowed, muscles tensing. "Hina, cover our left! Kade, we push through that gate. No hesitation."
Hina pulled out her knife, slipping into the shadows like a ghost, silently taking down a guard before he even realized she was there.
Kade sprinted toward the heavy gate, fumbling with the lockbox he'd scouted earlier. Sweat dripped down his forehead—time was running out.
Jonah faced the incoming wave, fists ready to fly. One guard charged—Jonah sidestepped, cracking a brutal punch to his ribs. Another came from behind—Jonah spun, catching him with a swift elbow.
"Almost there!" Kade shouted, eyes glued to the lock.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed—Kade's lockbox sparked, locking up tight.
"No, no, no!" Kade cursed under his breath, panic rising.
From the shadows, a new figure emerged—Rael. Smirking, eyes cold like ice. "You really thought I'd make it easy?"
Jonah's heart pounded. The final showdown was about to explode, and trust was thinner than ever.
GATE OPEN
Rael stepped into the light, that icy smirk never leaving his face. His eyes locked on Jonah like he was sizing up his next meal.
"Thought you could just stroll into my domain and take me down?" Rael sneered. "You're way outta your league, kid."
Jonah squared up, fists clenched, burning with that fierce determination. "You've been playing us, Rael. Time to pay."
Hina slid beside Jonah, eyes sharp and steady. "We're not backing down."
Rael chuckled darkly, then suddenly signaled to the guards. "Take them."
The guards rushed forward, but Jonah and Hina moved like lightning—dodging, weaving, striking back hard. Kade, still fumbling with the lockbox, finally cracked it open.
"Gate's open! Get inside!" Kade yelled.
Jonah glanced back, then charged through the chaos, pulling Hina along. Bullets whizzed past; sparks flew as metal clanged.
Inside the compound's shadows, secrets waited—answers, and dangers far worse than Rael.
But right now, one thing was clear: this fight was far from over.
