Chapter 94 - warrior

omggggggg i am so happy s2 is going to be released today . i am literally dying from jumping laughing . even my parents are asking what happened why are you jumping like monkeys but how can i explain this feeling to them 

Keifer staggered as Yuri's blade slid out of his side, blood blooming through his shirt.

His vision blurred, the world tilting as he crashed to his knees. Jay screamed his name, the sound tearing the air apart.

Keifer looked up at Yuri—the boy's hands trembling, tears streaming down his cheeks, lips shaking as he whispered, "I… I had no choice… 母親… they'll kill my mother…"

Kaizer charged, but Keifer moved first. Even bleeding out, he slipped under Kaizer's punch, landing a brutal elbow to his jaw. Kaizer stumbled, stunned.

Keifer staggered but didn't fall. Blood dampened his shirt, yet his eyes burned sharper than ever.

He pushed off the ground, blocking Cyrus's next strike with his forearm and slamming his elbow into Cyrus's ribs.

Kaizer rushed in again, roaring, and Keifer twisted aside, grabbing Kaizer's collar and smashing him against a pillar—refusing to stay down, refusing to lose.

sec were also fighting with cyrus men 

angelo was beating jay's stepdad like he will kill him today for sure . that monster was also trying to hit angelo . but it was looking like demon himself came from hell to take him there 

meanwhile keifer was hitting kaizer continuously on his face . it was looking like kaizer definately need plastic surgery 

then kaizer signalled yuri to do something 

Silent. Watching.

He had worn his mask in time when the chloroform gas released.

Yuri stepped from the shadows wearing a gas mask.

The room filled with white mist.

Cyrus and his gang put on masks—they knew the cue.

Jay coughed hard, breath shallow from the injection.Her head swayed.

Smoke. Gas. Screams.

The entire warehouse trembled with the echo of fists, metal, and rage. Yuri's chloroform dispersed like fog, blanketing the battlefield until everyone staggered—strong, trained, deadly, but human. One by one, Sec-E collapsed to their knees, coughing, eyes burning.

Cin, David, Calix, Felix , drew blaster josh still fought Cyrus' reinforcements, but the moment the gas thickened, the world spun and they fell unconscious—just like Yuri planned.

Police sirens wailed in the distance—sharp, rising, too close.

Yuri's face drained of color.

"Kaizer… we need to leave," he whispered, voice shaking as he pulled on Kaizer's arm. "You said no one would get seriously hurt. You PROMISED—"

Kaizer only chuckled.A slow… cruel… unbothered laugh.

"Relax, Yuri. They'll all die before the police even step inside."

Yuri froze. "...What?"

Jay was tied to the metal chair—hands blistered, breathing uneven from the chloroform gas. Keifer lay stabbed and half-conscious on the floor. The rest of Sec-E and the Aces were weakened, barely able to stand.

Kaizer tapped a small remote.A timer blinked underneath Jay's chair.

09:00

Yuri's eyes widened in horror. "You put a BOMB under her!? You said— you SAID you wouldn't hurt Jay!"

Kaizer tilted his head lazily. "Of course I lied. I love power more than I love keeping promises."

Stepdad smirked. "Your eyes are telling another story, boy. Why so scared for her?"

"I— I'm NOT—" Yuri snapped, voice cracking. "I just— the police— this will destroy your name!"

Kaizer ignored him. and then they all ran away 

Jay threw a knife near Michael's leg

"Take Cin, Samuel, Adam, David, Felix, Calix—everyone. Now."Her voice was soft but absolute. "And take Keifer. He's already bleeding."

Yuri stumbled back, torn between terror and guilt as the timer dropped to 08:12.

Michael coughed, reaching Jay first. "JAY! Stay awake!"

Jay's voice was a whisper."There's a knife—behind—my boots."

He found it, cut himself free first, then the others.

Jay—still tied—looked up, eyes sharp even through dizziness.

"Michael. Take them all out."

"What? NO! Jay—"

"DO IT!" she barked.

Michael understood.

ACES had been trained for breath-control. They would survive the gas. They could drag the unconscious Sec-E out.

Michael knelt over the bomb, hands trembling. "Jay—this timer… if I touch the wrong wire, we all die. You, me, Keifer—everyone."

Jay froze.The bomb hummed louder. The timer blinked red.

Keifer reached out weakly, "Jay… don't—go near—it."

She dropped beside him anyway, cupping his face with shaking hands."Stupid," she whispered, tears burning her eyes. "Why do you always run in front of danger like I'm not right behind you?"

The bomb beeped—faster.Michael's voice cracked, "Jay, if you stand up now, it'll trigger the motion sensor. If I try defusing with him conscious, we'll have no time to drag him out. Someone has to knock him out right now."

Keifer tried to push himself up. "Jay… let me… help—"

She shook her head violently."No. If you move, we all die. If I let you go, I die. If you stay awake, Michael dies. And I'm not losing any of you today."

Her voice broke."You promised you'd live long enough to irritate me forever… So you're not dying here."

Keifer's eyes softened. He whispered her name.

Jay leaned forward, forehead touching his for a heartbeat, her tears landing on his cheek.

"…I'm sorry," she breathed.

Then—she struck the side of his neck with ruthless precision.

He fell unconscious instantly, body limp in her arms.

"Michael!" she shouted. "He's out—MOVE!"

Jay managed a weak smirk.

"Take care of him... like you did for me. He's my heart. If he's alive… I am too."

Michael's eyes stung."Don't talk like you're leaving."

Jay smiled."Just go."

He hesitated.

Jay screamed—

"MICHAEL, GO!"

He ran.

Carrying Keifer.

Dragging everyone.

One by one.

Until—

Only Jay was left.

"JAY! JAY, PLEASE!"

Voices outside screamed.

Aries.Percy.Angelo.Calix.Everyone.

aces ran back in—

Just as the timer hit 2 seconds.

"JAY—!"

Jay whispered, finally letting her tears fall.

"Tell Keifer… he wasn't too late."

0:020:010:00

BOOM.

The world went white.

The warehouse erupted.

Heat swallowed the night.

Screams tore through the air.

Dust. Flames. Falling steel.

Everyone outside stumbled back, coughing, crying, reaching.

"JAY?!""WHERE IS JAY?!""ANSWER US!""JAYFER!""WHERE—WHERE IS SHE?!""MICHAEL, WHERE IS SHE?!""NO—NO—NO—NO—"

Keifer—half conscious in Michael's arms—muttered her name.

"Jay… J-Jay… where…?"

No one answered.

Because the blast kept burning.

And Jay…

Jay was nowhere in sight.
