Jack and the others had to rush out of the slums and borrow a civilian's car because the helicopter that took them there was busy elsewhere. Jack waved his hands in front of the civilian's car and asked them to get out of the vehicle.
"Sorry, sir, but we’re going to need your vehicle.”
The man reluctantly gave up his car, but before he did, he muttered, “You Rainfall soldiers are all the same. You don't care about us.”
Anakin heard the man and told him they would return their car once it was finished. The man didn't buy it and walked away. Troy started driving to District One, and while on the drive, Jack got on coms with Harry and asked for more information as they were heading to District One with little information.
“We’ve gathered intel that Stallone is planning to use a bomb on the outer walls in District One. If these bombs go off, then it will allow swarms of GMs to enter the district; we’ve run some tests, and we’ve predicted that the district would fall in three days.” Harry said before continuing, “Your first objective is to stop the bomb. The second objective is to arrest Stallone. Good luck, son.”
Arriving at District One, Jack noticed Rainfall soldiers engaged in combat with Jackel soldiers. Taking cover beside a Rainfall soldier, Jack asked about the latest developments.
"We've received confirmation that Stallone possesses a bomb and intends to deploy it on the northern side of the wall," they reported.
"Is there a timer set on the bomb?" Jack asked urgently.
"We don't have that information. If there is a timer, time is running short," they replied.
Armed with this crucial information, Jack and his team launched an aggressive assault against the Jackel soldiers, swiftly and strategically maneuvering through the opposition to provide the Rainfall soldiers with a much-needed respite.
Jack skillfully wielded his trusty pistol and razor-sharp sword, strategically alternating between the two to engage the Jackel soldiers. His pistol proved effective for picking off enemies at a distance, while his sword became a formidable weapon in close-quarters combat. In the heat of battle, Jack unleashed the power of his robotic arm, forcefully slamming Jackel soldiers to the ground when necessary.
Asuka and Kairi seamlessly coordinated their movements, employing their time-tested teamwork to outmaneuver their opponents. Meanwhile, Ellie and Anakin maintained a tactically advantageous position, providing cover and expertly eliminating Jackel soldiers from a distance with their precision rifles. Troy thrived in the chaos of battle, seamlessly transitioning between a diverse array of weapons, from his expertly wielded sword to swiftly seizing and utilizing firearms discarded by fallen foes.

Once they took care of the Jackel soldiers, they rushed forward, hoping that Stallone hadn't set a timer on the bomb. They marched their way through more Jackel soldiers before reaching Stallone who was standing at the north side wall with the bomb already placed on the wall.
“Stallone! This ends now!” Jack yelled.
“Agreed! You lot have been nothing more than an annoying swarm of files that need to be killed.”
"Stallone, do you have any idea how much damage that bomb is going to do?” Ellie asked.
Stallone laughed manically, “You think I care about these people? After today, everyone will have to work for me. If they refuse then they will be butchered.”
“Enough of this. Let’s get this cunt.” Troy said before he rushed towards Stallone.
Stallone stood his ground, his muscles tensed as he awaited Troy's approach. As Troy moved in, Stallone unleashed a swift, powerful right hook that caught Troy off guard, staggering him backward.
"Lucky hit." Troy scoffed with a smirk.
Next, Asuka and Kairi stepped up to take on Stallone, but to their surprise, Stallone managed to deflect their attacks, swiftly brushing them aside. Suddenly, Troy retaliated with a lightning-quick punch to Stallone's head, catching him off guard.
Refusing to be bested, Stallone reacted swiftly, grabbing Troy by the throat and hoisting him into the air. As the tense confrontation unfolded, Anakin attempted to intervene, charging at Stallone in an attempt to tackle him. However, Stallone's imposing strength proved insurmountable as he stood firm, unfazed by Anakin's efforts. With a startling display of power, Stallone extended his other arm, seizing Anakin by the neck and effortlessly lifting him off the ground as well.
Jack delivered a powerful punch to Stallone that caused Stallone to drop Anakin and Troy and focus attention on Jack.
As the fight was going on, on a rooftop watching this fight transpire was Crow, who quietly said to himself, “Looks like I get to fight the winner. Ha-Ha.”
The fight between Stallone and Jack was one-sided. All the anger that Jack had built up inside him from years of not letting go of his brother Jamie’s death was making every punch he threw as powerful as the last. Jack didn’t stop until he was either dead or Stallone was dead.
Jack managed to get Stallone on the floor, bleeding from his lip. But Stallone was still laughing at Jack.
“What’s so funny!?” Jack demanded.
“Argh! You’re still grieving for your dead brother. You know killing me won't bring him back.”
“But I’ll get my revenge, you fucking asshole.”
Before Jack could deliver the killing blow. Crow made his appearance known.
“Gentlemen!”
Everyone turned around and looked at Crow.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Jack asked.
“I’m just watching this fight. Go on, finish it.”
Jack turned back around to face Stallone, only to discover that he wasn't there. Stallone took the perfect opportunity to not only retreat but to also set the timer on the bomb.
“Next time, kid! Finish the job! Ha-Ha!” Stallone said before leaving the area.
With the timer of the bomb slowly ticking down, Jack asked Ellie and Anakin to defuse the bomb while the rest would take care of Crow.
As Jack, Troy, Kairi, and Asuka readied themselves. Crow commented on the four of them, “Oh! Are you going to fight me this time?”
“Yeah, we are you masked cunt!” Troy said.
A quiet chuckle could be heard for Crow, "Well, bring it on then.”
