Brianna was pushed into his room, he found it weird, Drake usually likes to separate them. Drake walked in after her, bringing Lana along with him.
"Now is time for a game, since both of your hands are trapped in concrete, I want you to fight each other until one submits, winner avoids an hour with me, loser gets an extra hour with me," Drake instructed.
"No, I am not going to fight Brianna just to save my own skin," Sam replied.
"Neither am I," Brianna joined in.
" I thought you might say that, so I added an extra token for the winner, Sam can meet Astrid for an hour if he wins, Brianna can meet Jack for an hour too if she wins," Drake happily replied.
Sam considered the offer and told Brianna, " I am so sorry, but I have to see Astrid."
"Then I am sorry too, Sam..." answered Brianna
Brianna tried to punch Sam with the concrete, but he quickly dodged it and tackled Brianna. After pinning her to the floor, he raised both of his arms and pounded them down on Brianna, it repeated for about eight times, he could hear her ribs crack but he was desperate. After the ninth hit, Brianna submitted. Drake ordered Lana to heal her and bring her back to her room.
"See Sam, it isn't so hard, look at what you did to Brianna, the same girl who fought alongside you in battle, the same girl who saved you from me in the power plant. I made you into this animal who almost killed your loyal friend. See? After all, deep inside you are just as evil as me, I just had to push you," Drake taunted.
"Where is Astrid? You promised I could see her..." cried Sam, he was so ashamed of what he did to Brianna but he was desperate to see Astrid.
" I am a man of my word, Penny will bring you to Astrid, but for an hour only, nothing more. While you examine her wounds, I will check how a screwdriver can go through Brianna's ears," replied Drake who also signaled Penny to bring Sam to Astrid's room.
Upon opening the door, Sam immediately cried as he saw the scary, mauled and brutalized yet alive body of the girl he once called Astrid.
" Floating girl brought more human," panted packleader.
" Packleader, kill off the weaker humans, Penny, take the stronger ones down, use Orc if you have to, I am going for Dekka... with my secret weapon," commanded Drake.
Quinn and most of his crew were sent to take down packleader and distract Penny. Hank and Ellen were sent to sneak up on Penny and finish her. Dekka will take down Orc and Drake, she brought back-up with her, two of Quinn's crew, Bryan and Sidney. They all had either a blunt instrument or a small knife.
Quinn did as ordered and fought packleader and the coyotes. His team managed to kill most of the coyotes, everything through melee attacks, it was a gruesome sight, broken limbs and body parts everywhere, but packleader escaped. He had casualties, three of his man died and two were severely injured. He comforted them to their death as there are no way to get medical attention now. He hated what he was doing but he did it anyway, at least they died for a good cause. He did not have much time to grieve over their deaths as he had to continue the plan. He led his crew closer to the clifftop until they met Penny, she just smiled and three of his members already started screaming in pain. Two of the members fought to the death. Quinn suddenly felt his flesh decomposing, he keeps telling himself that is just an illusion, but his mind was already panicking.
He was normal again, he looked at where Penny once stood and saw Hank and Ellen with a baseball bat and a lead pipe. Penny was on the floor, knocked unconscious by the blow. Quinn looked around him as nearly all of his crew are either dead or unconscious. He fell to his knees and sighed, he did his part, it was over for him...
Dekka, accompanied by Bryan and Sidney ran past an exhausted Quinn, past Ellen and Hank and into the clifftop where she saw Drake, Orc was nowhere near. Drake took out a pistol and started firing. Dekka cancelled gravity beneath him but unfortunately, Sidney has been shot. Drake flew to the ceiling, dropped the pistol and laughed crazily.
"What's so funny? Never thought you may lose?" asked Dekka.
"No, just that my secret weapon is ready," replied Drake.
"What is your secret weapon?" asked Dekka curiously.
Out of nowhere Bryan took his knife and brought it to Dekka's neck, ready to slice," I am the secret weapon..."
