Maria remains motionless at the edge of the rooftop, peering through her binoculars at the black van that just stopped on the street below
Jin leans beside her looking puzzled and asks what she sees down there and if there is something strange going on
Maria answers quietly that the van has arrived but she cannot be sure if Ruka is inside or if this is just another trap
Akos sits loosely behind them with his legs dangling over the edge, laughing ironically
He says the whole situation feels like they are acting in a poorly made action movie when in reality they are trapped
Maria looks at him sternly and explains that the job requires composure rather than impulsiveness
Akos provokes her by asking if she talks like that because she used to be special forces and thinks everything is solved with patience
Maria tells him to be quiet because his complaining will never end even though they have been waiting here for five hours
Jin interrupts the tension and points towards the northern building, where a small door is visible that could be their entry point
Maria hesitates, pointing out that there are bodyguards there and she is not sure how they will handle them
Akos gets up abruptly and declares that they will simply clear them out before they even realize what hit them
He takes a deep breath and jumps off the building without hesitation
Jin shakes his head annoyed by Akos's haste and jumps right after him to follow
Maria sighs but reacts instantly grabbing her sniper rifle and taking aim
Two clean shots ring out in the silence of the night and the bodyguards drop dead before they can react
Akos and Jin approach the small door and prepare to enter
Akos and Jin slipped into the warehouse with a relaxed ease. The air was thick and heavy with the smell of dust and old cargo. Boxes were stacked high in every direction, creating a maze of shadows. Jin looked at his partner and asked what they were supposed to do because he did not know this place at all
Akos admitted he had no clue since it was his first time here too. He tapped the earpiece hidden in his ear to reach Maria. He asked her if she had any updates on their situation.
Maria replied with a sharp voice, asking why he was asking her instead of the guy whose name she did not even know.
Akos sighed and whispered for Yuzana to hear them and explain what the hell was happening with these people. He looked at Jin and told him it was finally time to use some violence.
They kicked the door behind them with full force. It slammed directly into a bodyguard standing on the other side, and he went down instantly.
Akos and Jin stepped over the fallen man and started running down the long corridor. Jin muttered that the place seemed small.
Akos shook his head and pointed at a secure door ahead. He was certain it led to something important. Jin noted that it required a keycard for entry. Akos simply said they would wait until someone opened it for them.
A few moments later a scientist walked by while looking down at the floor. He reached the door and swiped his card without noticing the two men waiting in the darkness. Akos stepped out and thanked him for opening the door.
The guy froze in terror before he could even understand what was happening. Akos landed a solid punch right in his face. He moved inside, and Jin followed him through the entrance.
Akos and Jin sprint through the endless corridors. Akos notes that this is not just a building but an underground bunker. Jin asks who built this maze and tells him they must find the camera room
Akos grabs Jin by the arm. Jin asks what he is doing. Akos points to the sign labeled "Security Room." Jin kicks the door open with massive force. A guard is inside drinking coffee. They do not hesitate and land two heavy punches to his face. He falls to the floor
They watch the monitors showing rooms that look like cells and testing grounds. Akos spots something. They are moving five people into a black van. One of them has their face hidden but tries to escape and hits a guard
The bag drops, revealing Ruka Akos and Jin yelling into the radio for Maria, but nobody answers. They decide to run for the exit but they have already been spotted
Guards are waiting with guns aimed. Akos asks if this is really necessary just to kill them. Jin points out how famous they must be if even the Americans want them dead. Akos smiles and tells the guards it is cute that they came this far but says, "Sorry, kids, it is time for a nap." Jin adds that the floor is cold, but they have to do it. The guards open fire
Akos and Jin start taking the guards down one by one. Jin grabs one and throws him to the floor, shouting at Akos to get back and see what he can do. Akos tells him to shut up and calls him weak. Jin asks if he really thinks he is weak. He summons his strength and delivers a slap to the air
A loud sound echoes through the hallway as a powerful wind slams the guards against the wall right up to where Akos is standing. Jin tells him to repeat that and swears he will make him beg for respect with his head bowed down
Akos gets angry and tells him to hurry up. Suddenly a giant guy stomps in with pure rage. Akos asks what on earth they were feeding this guy. Jin jokes that maybe this is why there was a milk shortage in Japan because he drank it all
The giant roars and punches the wall, shattering it. He says, "You rats will not get out of here alive." Jin looks at the ID tag on his chest that says Mr William
He tries to smooth things over by telling Mr. William that he is right and they will do whatever he says. Akos turns around and leaves him behind. Jin swears he will make Akos pay for this. Mr. William slams a fist into the gut of Jin with so much power that Jin flies back, breaking the wall. Jin yells about his organs and asks why his enemies are always giants
Akos sprinted through the endless corridors. Red alert lights flashed violently as they switched on and off. A woman with silver hair suddenly stepped out and aimed a Desert Eagle at his skull.
Akos smiled and told her to take it easy. He suggested she drop the gun for the good of both of them.
The woman ordered him to drop his weapon and shut his mouth.
Akos let out a laugh. He said this era was filled with tedious and blind women. He told her he did not want to hurt her and asked how such a beautiful woman ended up in a place like this.
She insulted him by saying his brain was completely empty and that anyone talking to him would have to remove their own brain just to listen.
Akos figured it out immediately. A woman inside a facility in Japan must belong to the CIA.
She agreed and told him to be an Atta boy after dropping his sword and gun.
Akos gave a small smile. He put his gun away but moved with blur-like speed. The woman fired, but he was already on her. He grabbed the weapon and held her by the throat. He whispered in her ear that he did not want to hurt her, but she chose this. He pushed her forward and ejected the magazine from the Deagle. He handed it back to her and whispered, "Atta girl."
The woman touched her earpiece and spoke to the sir. She said it was the same man, and she did not think anything had changed.
A voice answered that it was strange how someone who entered the fake world was the same as in the real world. They told her to continue with the plan.
The woman took her Deagle and left the area.
...Akos handed the magazine back and whispered, "Atta girl." He didn't wait for her reply, sprinting toward the emergency exit, bursting out of the building and into the humid afternoon air.
Akos stepped out of the building. He looked around. Everything looked normal. People were walking, and cars were driving. It all felt fake. He looked up and saw Maria fighting another girl.
Akos whispered that trouble never ends with women. He saw the van. He stopped a taxi.
The driver asked where they were going.
Akos told him to follow the van.
The driver stared at him. He said he had seen this scenario in movies many times.
Akos smiled and pointed his gun at him to tell him to drive.
The taxi driver started driving at a crazy speed behind the van.
The taxi swerved through the heavy city traffic as if the car were dancing on the asphalt
Akos patted the dashboard and told the driver he was a hell of a professional
The man behind the wheel grinned wide with pride. He told Akos he was a big name in the street racing scene and that everyone called him KING OIL. He added that he had just officially submitted his entry for the tournament
Akos raised an eyebrow and asked who the hell that was
The driver laughed and explained it was Mohamed. He started listing off the usual perks. Money, Oil, Cars Gold
Akos leaned back and asked if he was from the Arab world
The driver nodded. He said he had all the wealth he could ever want but then turned the question back to his passenger. He asked Akos who he really was
Akos just smiled at the window. He told him he was just him
The driver chuckled and said he liked that attitude. He admitted he always loved the action movies America produced
Akos shook his head and told him no way. He insisted that Japan had the best action movies and that right now he was about to see one live right in front of his eyes
The driver started sweating and looked ahead with sudden worry. He said he had a bad feeling about this and told Akos to look
The back doors of the black van swung open wide
Two men stood there holding RPGs leveled directly at their windshield
Akos and the taxi driver just stared in total shock as the rocket launchers locked onto their car
