“Game over, Hellfire.” She said Ç0çƙily.

_______

Hellfire began laughing, and Maya wondered why, nothing was funny.

“$h00t me,” he said, chuckling darkly. Maya smirked, shot the gun, but Hellfire didn’t die. There were literally no bullets in the gun, and her eyes widened momentarily.

“Surprised… Like I said, you’re little in this game… And I haven’t forgotten that you’re a well-trained cop… That was why I removed the bullets before coming to see you,” Hellfire said, his eyes gleaming with triumph.

“You…” her words hung in her mouth as Hellfire slapped her, and she fell to the ground.

“You wanna ki|| me, huh? But you know what? I can’t die till I become the next overlord,” Hellfire said, his voice dripping with malice.

“And you, Maya, only you will help me achieve that.”

Just then, Scent rushed inside.

“Boss,” he called.

“Tie her to a pole, use a metallic iron to tie her down… She’s a Ɓîtçh, just like Antonio,” Hellfire said, his eyes blazing with anger. Scent walked towards her, but she sent him back with a flying jet kick, and he staggered.

She stood up and walked towards Scent, her fist clenched, ready to punch him. But her hand stopped mid-air when something strong met her head, and blood gushed out. She turned to see Hellfire holding a big stick in his hand.

“I have separated the both of you before, and I’m gonna do that over and over again till I become the next overlord,” Hellfire said menacingly.

“But remember, when you separated us, Antonio became the devil he is today. He stabbed you in the gut, and maybe this time, he’ll finish the job,” Maya said, her voice weak before collapsing to the floor.

Scent scooped her up and bound her to a pole with iron chains, securing them with a large padlock. He turned to face Hellfire, whose expression was inscrutable. If Hellfire hadn’t removed the bullets earlier, he would be dead by now.

“What’s our next move, boss?” Scent asked, his voice laced with concern.

“Antonio thinks I’m bluffing,” Hellfire growled, his eyes blazing with determination.

“It’s time we show him we mean business. Let’s get bloody!”

LION HELL CLAN*

“Boss, Hellfire is calling,” Drake said, and Antonio dropped the cigar in the ashtray. He stood up and faced Drake.

“Really?” he asked, and Drake nodded.

“Good, let’s go to the lab,” Antonio muttered, beginning to walk towards the lab. His mind suddenly flashed with a new idea.

“We’re going to track this call. I’ll speak to him while you track it,” Antonio said as they entered the lab.

“Don, the call got disconnected,” Vinegar said.

“Never mind, Vinegar. He’s going to call back, and get prepared to track the call. Hear the sound… He’s really digging his own grave,” Antonio muttered. Vinegar started typing on the keyboard.

“3… 2… 1,” Antonio counted.

“Boss, he’s calling back,” Vinegar said, and Antonio smirked before picking up the phone call.

“Hey, brother. It’s been long,” Hellfire said, and Antonio remained silent.

“Don’t you miss your sweetheart? I didn’t know she was feisty like you, but anyway, I taught her a big lesson,” Hellfire said, switching the call to video. Maya was tied down with heavy chains, still unconscious, being forced to eat chick food. Her hair was rough and scattered, blood trickling down her face from the hitting. Antonio clenched his fist when he saw her.

“What the fûcking hell did you do to her?” Antonio shouted.

“Oops… Cool down, brother. I will still do more. This is just the beginning,” Hellfire said, switching back to a normal call.

“What the fûcking hell do you want?” Antonio asked.

“I already told you. Step down, and let me take over,” Hellfire said.

“I’m going to step down, but I’ll never hand this position to you,” Antonio said.

“Let’s wait and see,” Hellfire said, and the call disconnected. Antonio faced Vinegar.

“Have you tracked down the place?” he asked, and Vinegar nodded.

“Good. It’s really going down,” Antonio said, walking out of the lab.

PUSSYCAT SUITE*

Pussycat was already dressed and ready for the mission when Rocco stepped in.

“Hey,” he said, and she smiled as she saw him.

“Aren’t you supposed to be getting ready?” she asked.

“Well, I’m already prepared for this mission,” Rocco replied.

“But I wanted to tell you something.” He added.

“What is it?” Pussycat asked, her curiosity piqued.

“I’ll tell you when this whole thing is over,” Rocco said, his eyes hinting at a secret.

Pussycat mouthed an “oh” and waited expectantly.

“But I got you this,” Rocco said, pulling out an anklet from his pocket.

“It’s beautiful!” Pussycat exclaimed.

“I’ve always wanted to give this to the woman I cherish, and you’re the only person I’ve found solace in,” Rocco said, his voice sincere.

Pussycat’s eyes sparkled as she asked, “You mean… you?” Rocco nodded, and Pussycat’s heart skipped a beat.

“Can I wear it?” Rocco asked, and Pussycat nodded eagerly. He bent down and fastened the anklet around her ankle.

“Do you like it?” he asked, his eyes shining with hope.

“I love it,” Pussycat said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“You said you wanted to tell me something,” Pussycat reminded him, her curiosity still burning bright.

“Please say it fast, I don’t want to be curious forever!”

“A little more time, Patricia.” Rocco chuckled with whisper.

✧✧✧✧

SPEEDY SUITE*

Speedy stepped out wearing a bathroom robe and walked seductively towards Max

“Go and get dressed, Speedy,” Max said.

“Let’s do a quickie before we leave, please,” she said, her voice husky.

“Are you supposed to be thinking about that right now? Your focus should be on how we’re going to come back victorious,” Max said, his tone firm.

“Still…” she said, her voice trailing off.

“Go and get dressed, please. I’m not in the mood for that,” he muttered.

“I’m feeling so… so h^rny… Pretty please,” she begged, her eyes batting at him.

“No,” he muttered.

“Fine, I’ll satisfy myself with a dildo, since you don’t want to do this,” she said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

“I don’t care,” he muttered.

“Seriously,” she shook her head before going back inside to get dressed.

✧✧✧✧

Everyone was already gathered, and they finally knew where Hellfire was holding Maya. Their equipment was all there – guns, arrows and bows, rifles, swords, pistol and bombs.

Everything was in place, and Antonio joined them, clad in black and holding a lollipop stick. He was surprisingly calm.

“Should we kick in?” Drake asked, and Antonio nodded. They all boarded the two cars, and the vehicles started moving. After a few moments of driving, they arrived at a deserted area with bushes, trees, and a lake.

The place looked old and cliché, like a battle-scarred fortress from ancient times. The cars came to a halt, and Antonio turned to the map, facing Vinegar.

“Are we on track?” he asked.

“Yes, Don,” she nodded, and Antonio got out of the car. The second car screeched to a halt, and everyone got out, moving in slow motion.

“You know the plan, stick to it,” Antonio said rigidly, pulling out his gun. He and Drake were the ones who would enter the location to save Maya and Crispy.

_____

They began entering the building, careful to avoid detection by Hellfire’s men.

Spider was about to enter when one of them spotted her and pointed his gun at her. But before he could fire, she quickly shot him dead.

“What, I think someone invaded us!” one of Hellfire’s men shouted, and Spider took advantage of the chaos to $h00t more of them. Despite being outnumbered, she kept firing, taking down multiple attackers.

Blood splattered everywhere as more men kept coming, relentless in their attack.

Skylar joined the fray, firing her arrows at the attackers from a different angle.

Pussycat dodged a sword attack and countered with a powerful kick, taking down her assailant. Max fought off several attackers but lost his footing when one of them slashed his skin with a sword. Just as another attacker closed in, Rocco intervened, $h00ting the attacker and saving Max.

“Thanks, bro,” Max said, grunting as he stood up and reloaded his gun.

Vinegar, though not an expert, used her arrows to take down attackers, doing her best to keep up with the intense battle

✧✧✧✧

Antonio and Drake finally entered the building and they saw Crispy and the Driver.

Antonio quickly ran toward her and freed her from the rope, Crispy looked at him.

“Where’s Maya?” He asked, and she choked, as a result of not eating for the past few days.

“They took her away.” She managed to say, and Antonio ran his hand into her hair.

Just then, a straight bullet appeared from nowhere, aimed at Antonio, but Crispy fell and received the bullet for him.

“Crispy.” Antonio shouted.

“You have been the best Don, I have ever known, and I’m glad I did something at least, Maya is in this situation all because of me, if I hadn’t requested her to follow me to the bookstore, then none of this would have happened. Tell the whole mobster that I love and adore them… Goodbye, Don.”

Blood choked her mouth as she released those words, and like that, she stopped breathing.

“Nooooo…”

Suddenly, Maya’s body popped up on a screen, she was gagged with a chain inside a drum of water, and her face was smeared with dog poop.

“Save her if you can, Antonio.” Hellfire said through the speaker.

And Antonio’s head began rampaging, wondering where he could have hidden Maya.

He walked out of the inner building, and that was when he noticed Maya’s necklace on the floor.

He had seen her wear this necklace on a number of occasions, and he traced the necklace, which led him to a door.

He opened the door and stepped inside, walked through it, and his heart stopped beating when he saw her in a plastic drum surrounded by water, the thing was locked.

His eyes searched the room to look for something that could break the lock.

Luck was in his side because he saw a hammer, and he used it to hit the lock with all his might, and it opened.

He quickly brought Maya out and hugged her, her wet body pressed dangerously on him.

He began giving her his body heat, but Maya wouldn’t just fûçking open her eyes.

He lay her down and pressed his lip on her, sûçking out the water, and she breathed out.

She looked at him and hugged him.

“Thank goodness you’re alright.” He said to her.

“I miss you.” She said.

“I miss you too.” He muttered.

Just then, Drake entered and rushed to them.

“Boss… We need to leave here like right now.” Drake said, and they stood up to leave.

Just then, the door closed automatically.

“Ain’t I good… I made the two lovers reconciled, but they’re gonna die… I’d be ki||ing three birds with one stone.” Hellfire’s voice said again through the speaker.

Antonio didn’t know what he meant by that when he heard the beeping of the bomb, and his eyes widened.

“You have only five minutes to escape from there, Antonio.” His voice boomed again.

Their eyes widened again in shock, and just then, the beeping started counting down.

“4:59…”

“58… ”

“57… ”

“56… ”

“55…”

✧✧✧✧

The slashing of the swords still continue, $h00ting of gun could still be heard in the main building.

Though they kept taking all Hellfire men, more was still coming, they were all tired but they’re not giving up for anything.

Bluey and Scent suddenly arrived with their guns and started firing their gun but they kept dodging it.

Bluey dropped her gun and walked to Pussycat with a smirk on her face.

“Why don’t we do a one on one?” she asked, and Pussycat grinned.

She wiped the blood on her face and also dropped her gun.

Bluey sauntered to Pussycat, but she dodged and went to the other side.

Pussycat stretched her hand and gave Bluey a blow on her face, it gave her a cut on her lips.

Bluey attacked her, but Pussycat kicked her leg, and she staggered to the floor.

She kicked her second leg, and she lost balance and fell down to the floor.

Pussycat jumped on her and began raining punches on her.

Just her punches were enough to make her loss her life, she was sure of it, because her face was all full of her blood.

Meanwhile, Scent was $h00ting his gun, but Rocco kept dodging it.

He shot at Scent, but he also ducked, and the bullets fled to the tree, giving it a deep hole in it.

Scent stopped when he saw how Pussycat threw her last punch on Bluey, and her eyes rolled away from their socket.

Anger surged through him, and he took his gun and fired at Rocco.

It met him unexpectedly, and Rocco fell down with tears in his eyes.

He was not gonna give up, he would take him to the afterlife with him also.

He managed to lift the gun and pulled the trigger, he shot it, and it met Scent in his chest.

He also dropped down to the floor with a groan.

Rocco looked at Pussycat for the last time, and tears escaped his eyes.

Pussycat was also staring at him, and she stood up and ran crazily to him.

“Rocco, no… You can’t close your eyes… You can’t die on me, I won’t let you die.” she whimpered in tears, and her tears fell down freely to his face.

“Patricia,” he called, and she nodded.

“I told you I had something to tell you, and that’s when the mission is over, but I’m afraid I will have to say it now.” He said, and his chest raised up, blood gushing out like a flowing tap.

Pussycat put her hand on his chest to prevent the blood from coming out, but who was she kidding? It wasn’t working.

“Yes… I’m listening,” she said.

“I have always wanted to tell you that you’re the most beautiful woman on earth, your smile is capable of making my day, your name does give me goosebumps, and you might be wondering what my real name is… It’s Ryan.” He stuttered.

“Ryan,” she called.

“Oh… That soothes my heart a little,” he said, tears escaping his eyes.

“I have always wanted to tell you that you mean the whole world to me, I want to tell you that I love you… I have always loved you with everything within me. This guy named Ryan loves you a lot.” He said.

“I love…” she didn’t get to complete her sentence because his eyes shut close… It shut to death.

“Rocco…. No……” she shouted.
