Prologue
The sound of cars echoed through out the streets as the lights from the sky scrappers illuminated the darkness as the sound of footsteps could be heard. Instead of light footsteps, it sounded like someone was speed marching. Instead, it was a teen age girl, sprinting through the streets of Paris. She felt the wind push against her face as she dodged person after person.
"Hey! Watch it!" an innocent man said as she rushed by. Her breathing started to get heavier as she turned around the corner to sprint towards the Embassy. She then stopped saw that it was empty and saw a pair of shadows in the main office up stairs. Her phone then rang.
"Yeah, Jeremy?" the girl asked.
"Sylvia, are you there yet?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah, I'm at the Embassy." she replied. "I just gotta get in."
"No time for a clear plan." Jeremy replied. "You need to disable the bomb and you need to stop XANA's plan."
"Alright, I'll do what I can." Sylvia said, hanging up her phone. She then decided to sneak through the windows of the building, but they were locked. She tugged on them as she grew desperate to get in. She then walked backwards and prepared herself.
"Forget it." Sylvia said to herself. "This is gonna hurt." She sprinted towards the window fearlessly. She leaped towards the window, then breaking through it. Shards of glass flew into the air as she hit the ground, grunting. She then dusted her silver jacket off as she stood straight up. She looked down at her pink shoes and cleared the shards of glass off of the surface.
"Talk about a rough landing." she said to herself. She then took out her cell phone and checked the photo of the Embassy lay out in the phone.
"Alright, lets go find that bomb." she said to herself. She then approached a door, where she can her two Kankrelats patrolling the downstairs area. She then saw an air duct that led to the same room, but was more unsuspected.
"Ah ha." she said, pushing a small table to help her climb up to the air duct. She quietly lifted the cover from the duct and slowly slipped inside. She then took out the 9mm BB gun that Jonas gave to her. She loaded it and cocked it as she crawled through the grey and dark air duct. She then peered through the other side as she saw the two Kankrelats. She then bashed the lid open, jumping down onto the floor. The two Kankrelats turned towards her and fired, missing their first shots.
"My turn." she said, firing her gun at the Kankrelats. The BB pierced the first one on the stair set, making it slide down onto the bottom of the stairs. She then turned to the other and fired, making it back flip into the wall. She rushed herself up the stairs, then standing in front of a locked door. She kicked it once. It didn't budge. She kicked it two more times. Still, it didn't budge. She took a chair from the bottom floor and started to bash the door with it, slowly loosening it. As it was at its loosest, Sylvia kicked the door open, exposing a possessed guard. His eyes had the eye of Xana and his skin was as pale as a vampire's skin. The guard, with all of his might, charged Sylvia, with knight stick in hand. Sylvia dodged to the right, dropping the chair and rolling, and then picked up the chair. She then broke it over the man's head, making him slump to the ground. Chunks of wood flew in the air as the chair snapped, the chair legs immediately breaking apart from the chair itself and the seat smashing into three different wooden pieces. She tossed the chair legs aside.
"Stay down sir…" she said, approaching a brief-case like container. She leaned over, then opened the lid, noticing a complicated bomb. Red wires and blue wires crossed each other as a timer was set for five minutes and forty-five seconds. Sylvia scratched her head as she stared at the bomb, clueless. She never felt so nervous before.
"This… can't be good." Sylvia said to herself, staring at the bomb.
