Accompanying the sound of the loud blaring alarm were flashing red lights every few seconds the lights would flicker red, they knew what that meant they knew once they heard another maid scream after they discovered a died body, they knew they were coming to the end of their rope, and they reached the end of that rope.
"What now!"
Tone screamed at the maid Gilda fully leaving the decision making to the woman that he had only just met a woman he thought he was better then and in charge of only moments before they entered the mansion, Gilda held the machete she was reaching far in her hands she could hear it she could hear his voice and his goal and hers were one and the same. After she stopped gazing at the sword she turned and spoke.
"Get the rest of the swords and let's go."
Jake and Tone didn't question her jake grabbed the black katana out of the case and he took a two more swords Tone had handed him, a small dagger and another sword with a strap that he scurred onto his back jack carried five of these mystic swords and Tone carried four of the larger ones while Gilda only had the machete in her possession. The three quickly made their way out of the basement and up the stairwell as they passed the door leading to the armory the sound of the alarm was louder, and through the loud noise they could hear the faint talking of people at this point Gilda quickened her pace moving like a train down the hallway, as they turned the corner a small gathering of people were seen men and woman the woman's way of dressing matched Gilda's and the men were sharply dressed themselves the small group was comprised of maids and butlers, the group in unison turned in the direction of the three and they noticed what they were holding.
"Gilda you…"
Is all one of the butlers could manage to get out before his head was separated from his body, the very moment Gilda laid eyes on the group of people the sword in her hands, the machete she was holding so tightly began speaking to her again and his words compelled her to take an action she was already willing to take. Gilda jumped into the group of maids and butlers and began slaughtering them high pitched screams were combined with the screeching sounds of the alarm, with single swings and strokes she was tearing off limbs heads torsos she was dismantling these people, Jake and Tone froze for only half a second then continued following the wild machete wielding woman, they both feared that if they didn't she would turn her blade on them and even though they outnumbered her with the amount of swords they had in their own possession, they knew they couldn't beat her hell they couldn't stop her even if they tried. They followed her as she chased down killing more and more people soaking their shoes in the blood of Gilda's victims, they had to step over the bodies of slaughtered people something they never experienced if though they were slum kids, even though the two grew up in a harsh and terrible environment this…. This was new to them (what am I doing here.) Jake thought as he stepped over body after body.
"What is happening…. this can't be real… this is this is madness."

He spoke these words even though he could've sworn they were his thoughts, Tone agreed as they continued walking down the bloody hallway but his word were heard by another, well to be more specific they were heard by nine others, but the one most effected by his words was the katana Jake held tightly in his hand those words he spoke and the way he said them triggered a memory of that boy, that man Mifune Jake and Tone continued following as Gilda chased down the final few maids and butlers who managed to escape her earlier onslaught, she chased them out the main mansion and ripped each of them apart as if there were just insects. The sword Gilda used to enact the deed was very pleased as soon as Tone and Jake caught up to the wild maid so did Roach Coco and Porcha carrying large bags filled with stolen items, the alarms spooked them and they came to regroup so they could leave but they halted when they saw Gilda, she wasn't the woman they had known briefly she was… like a demon standing before them and when Gilda noticed them the sword spoke again. She almost pounced on them like she did the butlers and maids but this time she didn't she composed herself and fought back that blood thirsty urge and this did not please the machete.
"What... the... hell... are you doing lady."
Roach stammered out shaken by fear, she looked up at the three and they saw how cold and empty her eyes were, they nearly ran away before she spoke.
"It's time for use to leave, let's make are way to the boat…."
Gilda took only one single step towards the direction that the three came from just one single step and out of nowhere, a wall of ice appeared out of thin air separating Tone and Jake from the others and freezing Gilda in place.
"What is with all this commotion."
They all heard, as Jake and Tone turned to their left the other three on the other side of the ice wall turned to their right and they all saw a man, a man that looked like he was in is early twenties dressed in military attire and having a cloak draped over him, and in his hand he held a snow white harpoon none of them knew the man but they could just tell he was one of them one of the Sullivan's
"I thought the order to return home was just for nothing, but I didn't..."
The man forgot his train of thought as he truly focused on the people before him he analyzed their clothing and how dirty and worn they were, he looked at the three to his left locking in on the bags they carried, then he looked at the two on his right and saw all they were carrying it only took the man a second to understand what was happening what these people were doing, and it took him less than a second to jump towards Jake and Tone's location readying his harpoon, he was so fast Jake and Tone couldn't move they didn't even have time to think all jake heard was the man speak.
"How fun I've never had to kill rats in my own home before."
Ice began to form around the harpoon and the man was about to use the harpoon to spear Jake, out of the two of them the man chose to kill Jake first and he would have if the ice that froze Gilda hadn't shattered, he would have pierced Jake through the heart if Gilda wasn't swinging the machete towards his head. The harpoon wielding man quickly parried her attack then swung his weapon again and another stream of ice began to form, but the maid was ready this time with that wild look in her eyes back again she swung her weapon and sliced the ice before it could freeze her again.
"Nefatari!!"
She screamed the mans named with malice, as he jumped to higher ground landing on top of the main mansions roof, he looked down on her from his high vantage point he squinted at her confused.
"Umm who are you again?"
