"Vaan...Vaan wake up."
Vaan brushed off the grogginess from his mind and found himself face to face with Vayne. He punched him and sent him spinning to the floor.
"Wait Vaan!" Vayne exclaimed with one hand on his nose and one hand extended to keep Vaan from landing another jab. "Wait, if you don't want to die listen to me. The Nethecite is timed, and you can find the cure. It is hidden in the Lab somewhere but Ashe only knows. But she's out cold and has a major injury-"
"You fucking stabbed her! Of course she'll be injured! What? Do you think she's a fucking goddess!?"
"..." Vayne was staring at Vaan with blood dripping from his nose."Listen, I needed to do that in order for it to seem like the place was raided. It was for her own good. She joined the Empire at the last minute. She wants all Dalmascans to be Terminated. Think of it as a second holocaust. Except she's using Nethecite instead of hyped up soldiers and gas chambers. It is too late for Penelo, but you have a chance to live and a chance to join the Empire."
"Never... I'll never join the Empire!"
Vaan stood up and started to hook jab Vayne, only to fail as Vayne blocked them all with his arm. Vaan tried a sweep kick, also failing.
"You're wasting your time Vaan. You'll be dead in an hour without that antidote."
"Ah Damn it! Damn it all to hell!" And with that, Vaan ran out of the Lab, and started his search for the antidote. Deadline: One hour.
