The assasins are talking to eachother after hearing what Mikey told them through the walkie-talkie.

"What do we do? Gamma got himself caught, he can't use howitzer now."

"The real question is, why was that guy underground? You think he is trying to dig his way out?"

"Someone will have to go into the tunnel, and watch him then."

"I will go."

"Alpha? You sure?"

"I have the highest chance out of all of you to not get caught."

"Good point."

One of the assasins heads into the tunnel that the assasin with the nickname Gamma created. After travelling through it for a minute, he reaches the end, there's cobblestone in front of him.

"Hmm, he must've blocked it off here right?" The assasin takes out an enchanted diamond pickaxe.

He mines out the cobblestones in front of him. The moment he does, water starts pouring out of the hole, straight at him.

"WHAT THE!" He quickly blocks it off before more water comes through.

One of the assasins is looking at Mikey's ship through a telescope, he sees several pirates carrying buckets of water. They start pouring it from the ship to the ground.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

They quickly repeat this process, as they are doing that, a part of the morgue blows up, revealing a big laboratory behind it. The explosion alerts all of the assasins.

"Who exploded that?! Was it him?!"

Mikey teleports next to one of his pirates who is pouring water at the ground. Soon enough, Mikey's ship starts floating on the water, and starts going to the laboratory.

BOOM!

Mikey's pirates shot their cannons at his command.

All of the assasins see what is happening, they are shocked beyond their minds. Flabbergasted even. Mikey's ship is moving in this underground laboratory.

Mikey is proudly standing at the bow of his ship, he is smiling and pointing ahead to the laboratory, it is obvious that he is headed that way.

"SHOOT THE CANNONS AGAIN!"

"We have to follow him!"

"I agree, he might escape from us if we don't hurry." The assasins start following Mikey's ship.

However, there is so much smoke all of the debris in the air, that they can't even see his ship. When Mikey finally reaches the laboratory, he recalls his ship, and starts running away on his own two feet.

But before he does, he puts down the knocked out assasin, somewhere, where the other assasins could see him. He wants to waste their time as much as possible.

The assasins reach the laboratory, and notice the knocked out assasin, one of the assasins comes up to him.

"You guys follow him, I will take care of this guy."

Mikey found his way back into the underground complex through the laboratory. He hasn't seen a single one of those scientists, they probably evacuated.

Mikey walks back into the room where the three scientists whom he and Lucy tied up were. Unfortunately, when he gets there, they are nowhere to be found.

"Did they run away? Or did someone release them..."

I need to get out of here, I won't be able to beat all those assasins if there really is that many of them, but I can't leave Lucy behind, if they just didn't use that damned domain on her.

Mikey decides to stay in the underground complex and starts searching through every room, he is trying to find that biological weapon, and destroy it.

"You're not getting any further." An assasin appears infront of Mikey, he is holding a glaive.

"Get out of my way!" Mikey teleports behind the assasin, and tries to knock him out with a punch, however, the assasin turns around in an instant and blocks Mikey's punch with his glaive.

Mikey uses The Ultimate Footwork and unleashes a combo of attacks and kicks on the assasin, who once again, blocks everything.

"You are adapting to my moves aren't you?" Mikey asks.

"Indeed, when I said that I wouldn't let you get any further, I meant it." The assasin announces, and takes a deffensive stance.

Mikey: "So you're another one of the assasins."

The Assasin: "Don't lump me in with those useless bastards, they're nothing compared to me!"

"What is Zero doing here?!" The assasins who were pursuing Mikey finally found him, facing the assasin who goes under the nickname Zero.

Zero: "This guy is mine, you guys wouldn't beat him anyway."

The assasins get frustrated and simply stay back.

"Shouldn't we help him?!"

"We would only get in the way."

Mikey: "I was told there are 20 assasins, five of them died. Three attacked Lucy, there are four standing over there, you're a fifth one. There are still seven assasins missing. Can I assume that you're the strongest? Among all of these?"

Zero: "Yes, however, you are wrong about something. There aren't 7 more. Our force does consist of 20 members, however, I count as eight assasins."

Mikey can tell that Zero is not lying. Meaning, that this assasin who is standing in front of him, might actually be stronger than Mikey himself.

Mikey: "Alright then... let's fight!"

Zero: "Domain: Unpredictable Prediction!"

Zero uses his domain. Mikey can't see anything for what seems like an eternity. Then, just for a brief moment, light flashes through the entire domain. Revealing Zero, who is about to attack Mikey with his glaive. Mikey dashes back and dodges. The domain goes pitch black again.

In a few seconds, light flashes through the entire domain again. Mikey can't see anyone or anything, the domain is simply an endless area with nothing inside. He quickly turns around and sees Zero standing a few meters behind him.

Once again, the whole area goes dark. Mikey gets attacked and injured by Zero.

Light flashes through the whole domain. Revealing the injury on Mikey's stomach, and blood dripping down from Zero's glaive.

Mikey is standing one foot in his own grave, and so his Ultimate Fighter attribute starts activating all kinds of attributes at once.

Zero attacks Mikey again and again, but Mikey reacts fast enough to block the attacks, and Zero can't do any damage.

Zero: "I see, so your body can adapt to my strikes?"

Mikey hears Zero's voice coming from the right, and he turns there.

The whole domain flashes but no one is standing there.

Mikey instinctivelly turns 180 degrees around with his fist.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

Zero is seemingly shocked by Mikey's sudden turn, and quickly tries to block Mikey's punch with his glaive, but even through that, he is sent flying.

The whole domain goes pitch black.
