Hellen, Hori, Blaire escaped into the weapon’s storage room. Fasha jumped towards them with a bunch of pistols in her arms. She gave Blaire, Hellen and Hori one each and headed out.
As soon as Hellen put the extra gun inside her trousers she went after her. Fasha took cover behind a wooden crate and shot towards the guards. One of her shots hit a guard in the chest. That guard fell on his back on the stairs and slid down. But two guards from behind shot towards her direction. Fasha successfully ducked in time to cover herself.
Kyong got out quickly from his cover and one tapped one of the guard’s face with a bullet then quickly hid behind the wall in the side hallway. The leftover guard jumped to fire towards Kyong but Hellen shot the guard on his neck, killing him.
(6 guards had died.)
Suddenly a canister jumped into the hallway from upstairs and exploded upon contacting the ground.
Bunch of women screamed, the knock wave was enough to push Kyong backwards.
“Kyong!” yelled Dimitri from the door of the bathroom.
Dimitri quickly rushed to Kyong’s side who was holding his arm with great pain. Dimitri pulled Kyong backwards into the bathroom. Three guards stormed into the hall and shot forward. Fasha was hit on the shoulder and she fell backward. Hellen was quick to reach her but there was nothing she could do.
Enraged, Hellen jumped up to shoot, coinciding that a bunch of shots happened and three guards fell to the floor.
(9 guards died.)
“Nice going. I got one, but you got two!” said Fushichin from inside room 6.
Next to him was a curly haired woman with calm eyes, she quickly reloaded the glock.
“It’s not done. You said there were around twenty, right?” asked the curly haired woman.
“Yeah, I know. What is your name?” asked Fushichin curiously.
“Saran.” said the curly haired lady.
“Oh, you’re that assassin huh. Quite surprising.” said Fushichin.
There was silence for a while. Hellen directed Fushichin with her eyes towards the staircase leading upstairs. Fushichin nodded. But just as Hellen was about to leave her cover, a green gas started being emitted from above into the staircase to the second floor. The green gas was heavy, it crawled down the stairs and approached them steadily.

“Ahh, shit.” grunted Fushichin as he ran out of the room with the curly haired woman, aimed towards the weapon storage room.
“Everyone, go into the weapon’s storage room and get a mask!” yelled Hellen.
But from within the green smoke emerged the guards and started shooting at them. One of the shots hit a running woman’s head, instantly killing her. Hellen was quick enough to duck and crawl back into the weapon’s room. When she arrived there Fushichin threw her a mask and she wore it.
Outside of the weapon storage room, in the green mist the guards approached. One woman appeared from the inmate cell, shot towards the guard’s torso three times, killing him. But the two guards who were behind the dead guard saw that the attack happened from room 10 and shot. Two bullets hit the woman’s arm.
The guards rushed to door 10 but the guard in the left flank got shot in the shoulder and head and fell down. The guards turned their attention to the ground to see Fasha on the floor with a menacing glare, the guards shot three bullets in total, finishing her rebellious life.
The guards advanced to room ten while ducking and shot 3 bullets in total towards the woman hiding inside room 10. The black woman with braided hair fell to the ground with holes in her chest.
(11 guards died)
Inside the weapon storage room, Hellen looked back to see Hori, Blaire, Fushichin, Casey, Saran. Six other women inside here. All wearing gas masks.
The gas slowly crawled into the room.
Fushichin placed himself in the corner of the room, aiming his gun towards the door. Saran took a distance from the door and hid in the turnaround where the hallway curves to the left. Hellen hid behind a table in the corner, far away from the door but still aiming towards it, Casey was next to her. The rest seemed to hole behind the turnaround of the hallway, away from the door, therefore the conflict.
The first curious guard walked into the room and got shot from all four combatants, instantly killed.
Three others barged into the room with speed. Fushichin shot the right most one. But only on the shoulder and stomach, the person turned to face Fushichin but was head shot by Casey’s bullet. The curly haired Saran’s bullet hit the head, killing the guard on the left, the middle most guard shot towards Hellen, Hellen also shot towards him. Hellen’s bullet hit the middle person with a shot to the torso and heart, killing him while the middle person’s bullet hit Hellen in the shoulder.
“Gahh! AAAhh!!” grunted Hellen as she held her shoulder.
“You okay?” yelled Casey from next to her.

Meanwhile in the bathroom Dimitiri had shot down the second person to enter the bathroom with two bullets to the throat and head. The green gas getting ever so closer. Dimitri covered his mouth with his sleeves. Some parts of the green gas seemed to be reaching him. Suddenly a guard jumped out from the other side of the partition and shot him.
Dimitri shot towards him but his bullet hit the stomach while the shooter’s bullet hit Dimitri’s head, instantly killing him. Kyong raised his gun to shoot the guard in the head with his left hand. The gas further creeped behind the stone partition and reached him. His vision became blurry and his head ever so drowsy. A sweet dream seemed to weaken his resolve.
Kyong shook his head. Two figures approached him in his blurred vision. He quickly raised to shoot with his gun, but his dull reactions were a little too late to save his life as the bullets pierced his body.
(20 guards died)
