4. Chapter 4 Working With The Enemy

I'm back, with the fourth chapter!

In this segment, the plot pushes on with the difficult fight between The Saints, The Syndicate and The all new STAG Initiative. More light is brought onto the latter as we finally meet the leader, another character joins the Saints and an unexpected turn for the worst...

Sorry for the slight delay in this chapter, I've been busy with my own work. To compensate for this, this chapter is the longest one I have written so far. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon and I can guarantee that the next mission will make you all laugh your heads off.

Also, I would really appreciate some reviews for this or even small comments as I would like to know how I'm doing or whether this is worth it. I know I'm getting a lot of views which I'm grateful for but I would like some feedback please. I'm not sure whether to begin writing the next chapter as I haven't gotten any comments so far, but I will anyway just incase.

*Update*

It's my birthday on the 26th and so I probably won't be posting the next chapter until Friday for anyone that have been reading through my chapters. My number 1 birthday wish would definetely be for someone to give a review, and with that, I may decide to post the next chapter earlier :D Seriously, let's make my birthday wish come true-Third Street Style!

Mission 10 A War On Both Fronts

The Boss and Angel walked into the new Saints Headquarters, hoping that some of the members would have more news on the Syndicate, namely the Luchadores, and to continue making progress on defeating them. Unfortunately, they found that the Saints had come to a standstill in their search and that most of the members had given up trying to work. Kinzie sat in her room on her laptop, checking up on what the Syndicate had been up to although the search was difficult, Zimos and Pierce were sitting on the couch calling for some of the saint girls to "Liv'in the place up" as all they wanted to do was party which annoyed Espíritu who was trying to sleep on the end of the couch, but couldn't do to Pierce constantly jumping and shouting for a party; causing the tiger to walk up to Angel to greet him, bored and annoyed with some members of the Saints, well bored and annoyed with Pierce.

Johnny and Shaundi had left a note on the TV stand saying that they went out to cause some havoc in the Luchadores territory and hopefully to find some tails to chase, which caused Angel to nod at their attempts however the Boss could tell that everyone was finding it difficult to work on defeating the Syndicate with the arrival of STAG. STAG were always patrolling the streets of Steelport and were armed to the teeth, causing the Syndicate to seemingly go into hiding as well as the Saints. Oleg was nowhere to be found strangely, whilst the Boss and Angel sat on the other end of the couch and began brainstorming for ideas. Pierce kept on changing the channel of the television, but he was going too fast and eventually caused it to break. The Boss shouted at him for this, and Pierce gave a slight yelp at the saints' anger, causing Espíritu to give an aggressive glare at Pierce, who began running even though Espíritu was too tired to give chase. Pierce did not want to give into a scuffle with the tiger, as judging by his trousers, the last fight did not end well and Espíritu must have hurt some parts of Pierce's waist, as there were stitches over some parts of Pierce's trousers.

Suddenly a saints van pulled up which Zimos quickly recognised at he got up to greet the drivers, causing the Boss and Angel to check as well, whilst Pierce was still afraid to move due to Espíritu. A few strippers emerged from the van covered in bruises whilst one ran up to Zimos and hugged him, crying that they were attacked by STAG. Zimos asked how STAG attacked them and where the other girls were, before the stripper revealed that they were kidnapped by STAG as their brothel was invaded and taken from them. The Boss is startled at this and asks which brothel, and the stripper replies with that it was one in the south island of the downtown district, near Friendly Fire. The Boss was angry at this because there was a lot of Saints property in that area meaning if STAG took over the brothel, there was nothing stopping them taking over the rest of the Saints property in the area.

The Boss then quickly decided that they needed to defend themselves regardless of what the Syndicate could be doing, and asked for Pierce, Zimos and Angel to help him retake their territory, whilst shouting for Kinzie to keep them updated for anymore STAG reinforcements in the area as Espíritu slowly walked up the stairs to Kinzie's room to keep her company, much to her surprise at how tame it was. As the saints got into Pierce's Sovereign, the Boss began to question where Oleg was as Pierce said that he would call Johnny and Shaundi to get them to defend other Saints property in the downtown district, in case STAG try to take over the whole district for themselves. The Boss began going over the situation and started to think about what STAG and the Syndicate could be doing, then started to think about what he has overlooked;

"Zimos, I know that we're the most unpopular of Steelport at the moment, but we're not the only people with prostitution rings across Downtown. Have our girls being making things obvious for STAG?"

"Hell nah, after STAG gave us an ol' runnin', I've started to hand out my catalogues to priii-vate and straight-ass clients, who I can trust with my laa-iive!" Zimos declared, believing that his side of business for the Saints was going well and that there was no chance that any of his girls, or even any of his clients, could be responsible for STAG's invasion of the brothel. Zimos thought the Boss would be happy to hear this, but he surprisingly wasn't;

"That means they've gone after us first before the Syndicate. There are plenty of Syndicate properties and gangbangers around here, STAG could have easily killed them all and take over within matters of minutes-Are they being bribed by Loren?" The Boss questioned, curious as to why STAG seem to be directing their power on the Saints, though he started to consider the possibility that Loren has already reached out to them.

"I guess that could have happened, but the Syndicate have done their fair share of bad deeds in the past Boss, if STAG want to do well with the media, they'll need to shut them up as well-" Pierce declared, believing that the Boss's theory could only work if STAG were secretly affiliated with the Syndicate and didn't want Monica Hughes to know about it, however before he could finish, Angel interrupted him;

"-Unless the Syndicate gives the people of Steelport plenty of reason to hate us. They did that with the electricity problem which hit us hard for a while, until we started to rebuild parts of our reputation at ArenaBrawl. Even so, the Syndicate force the media to hate us which gives STAG a free pass at hitting us, as well as STAG turning a blind eye to the Syndicate; that doesn't sound too promising for the Saints…" Angel interrupted and explained. His words shocked the Boss for a bit as he realised how strong and realistic of a plan it was and that the Saints truly were set for a difficult stay in Steelport. Zimos quietly shook his head at the realistic theories, whilst Pierce revealed his distaste for how the two organisations would be manipulating innocent people across the city, and controlling them without them even knowing, which he showed to have hated with a vengeance. The Boss reached the brothel in the downtown district after the discussion over the possible problems were over, and was shocked to find the whole street up in fire.

The STAG jet's, which were marked as VTOL's, STAG vans with mounted machine guns on top of them as well as soldiers patrolling the streets with riot shields swarmed the entire area. The Saints hid behind a nearby apartment building and looked across the street as they saw the brothel, which seemed to have had the most amount of STAG protection out of all of the buildings in the street. The whole area was deserted of people, with STAG being the only inhabitants and controlling the entire area. The Boss watched as a series of STAG vans pulled up outside the brothel, with one revealing a couple of strippers working for the saints, who had been kidnapped and taken for questioning by STAG, and another van revealed an old man dressed in a different coloured uniform and judging by the immediate salutes and silence given to him by the soldiers, he must have been the man in charge. Pierce looked around the brothel and then at the vans, and then decided that if they want to get the girls back and hurt STAG as much as possible was by sneaking into the brothel and then surprising them all at the heart of the area. Angel agreed with this as Zimos and the Boss nodded, with the latter noting that they needed a distraction, which as if by magic, they received;

"GET THE F*** OUT OF THE VAN-YOU PATHETIC INSIGNIFICANT ********! GGGRARARGGHHHH!" shouted a very large man dressed with a white blazer and black pants, and a Saints purple jumper with the fleur-de-lis logo on the jumper. The man was quickly revealed to have been Oleg, who had obviously been in the area all this time which answered the Boss's question as to where he was. The saints watched in shock and, slightly horror, as Oleg smashed through multiple STAG vans and brutally murdered multiple STAG soldiers, through multiple methods such as snapping their necks and with one soldier, grabbing them by the leg and smashing the soldier onto the pavement.

As the STAG leader walked into the brothel, he turned behind him to notice Oleg who was already charging towards the entrance of the brothel to continue his fight against STAG. The STAG leader ordered for multiple soldiers from the brothel to take care of Oleg, whilst calling from his communication devices on his armour for what he called a "VTOL" to take care of Oleg. The Saints watched as Oleg led many of the soldiers away from the brothel and one of the STAG jets flew into the area and began firing onto Oleg; clearly this was what the STAG leader called a VTOL. The saints watched in slight confusion and disbelief as they had found the distraction that they needed, with the Boss noting;

"Well that's…Convenient, and slightly, terrifying. Did Oleg just flip one of those ****ing vans over?"

"Mhmm-hmm, he is definit-lay what ma girls need: Not onlay does he offer protect-shuion, but he would definite-lay make a gooo-ood guy for some of my lonely hearted clients, to le-heehee-an on!" Zimos declared, seeing a possible business opportunity however expressing the possibility in an unusual way. The Boss, Pierce and Angel turned their heads to look at him in shock and confusion, with Zimos shrugging his shoulders and stating that it would be a good business opportunity. The Boss then returns to the situation with STAG, and starts giving the instructions to his crew;

"Alright, I know Oleg's…stronger then any of us expected, but he's probably gonna need support. Angel, Zimos, I want you two to give him cover as me and Pierce make our way into the brothel and kill that STAG b**ch. Once we're done, we'll give you the signal"

Angel nodded at the instructions and loaded up his SMG, whilst running behind the houses with Zimos heading for Oleg's location. Pierce looked to the Boss and questioned how they are going to get into the brothel and save the strippers without being seen, causing the Boss to shrug his shoulders and to tell him to "Improvise!" The two then snuck into the alley to the west of the brothel and looked to see two STAG soldiers guarding the entrance, causing the Boss to think of a quick plan to get their attention. He saw an abandoned bus nearby, close to the apartment blocks across the street, and threw one of his grenades towards it, causing an explosion.

The two STAG soldiers moved from their posts and reported the act on their communications, allowing the Boss and Pierce to sneak behind them and enter the brothel. It was very big and full of STAG, with Pierce noting that he could hear the sounds of women crying from upstairs, meaning that's where they needed to go. The Boss looked around and to his east, there was a lounge area that had some STAG soldiers patrolling whilst one or two were drinking alcohol, and to his north, there were a couple of bedrooms which had even more STAG soldiers protecting. The stairway was right to the Boss's west but he could see that there were more members of STAG protecting the stairs, meaning that they had to find an alternative route.

Pierce said that he had plenty of flashbangs if they needed it, but the Boss reminded him that they still needed to find an escape route. He looked to the lounge area and found that the soldiers drinking alcohol had passed out, allowing a perfect opportunity to kill the patrolling soldiers in the room without being detected. Pierce stabbed one in the heart, whilst the Boss slit his throat and left him in a life-like position, making it look as if the patrolling soldiers had been drinking with the other soldiers. Pierce and the Boss then ran underneath the stairs, as the Boss grabbed one of the beer cans and threw it toward the stairway, causing the STAG soldier protecting the stairway to investigate. He walked down the stairs and into the lounge, furious with his comrades sleeping on the job.

To the soldier's horror, he found that some of them were actually dead, but it was too late to alert the others as the Boss smashed him in the face with another beer can, that left him dead on the floor. Pierce and the Boss then walked up the stairs to find two doorways, with one leading to the girls that had STAG protecting them, and the other was a weapons locker room, packed with STAG laser rifles and shotguns, as well as flashbangs and grenades. Pierce stated that the weapons room had enough guns for the Saints to use against STAG and noting that if they took the weapons, the girls would likely have been killed and they would not be able to take them. But the Boss knew that Zimos would likely need the girls for his side of business in the Saints, and wondered what the Saints needed more of; women or guns. Pierce hilariously replied to the Boss's statement;

"Women or guns...That really is a difficult choice! I'm leaving this burden onto you Boss!"

"Yeah thanks a lot Pierce…"

*The player at this point would then have to make a choice over whether they want to take the guns, or the strippers. If the player walks into the room with the strippers, the Boss and Pierce would kill the STAG soldiers and free the strippers, but would have to defend themselves from STAG. If the player walks into the room with the guns, the Boss and Pierce would arm themselves with guns which would be heard by the STAG soldiers, and they would quickly kill the strippers before the player can get to them.

Taking the strippers would give the player an increase in hourly income, whilst taking the guns would give the player earlier access to certain weapon upgrades and unlockables, however they would still need to pay for them. Either way, the Boss and Pierce would be in one of the rooms and would have to defend themselves from STAG. After they are done attacking STAG, the Boss calls Kinzie to send some of the Saints reinforcements to pick up the girls/weapons.*

The Boss and Pierce stood in the room preparing for a fight with STAG as the soldiers marched up the stairway with laser rifles and Kobra pistols. The sounds of the STAG leader could be heard from downstairs, who declared;

"Finish off the Saints! I will escort the Dewynter sister out of the area and to a safer vantage point!"

"Yes Commander Temple!" shouted all of the STAG soldiers, almost simultaneously at the same time. This must have been the name of the leader; Commander Temple, which sounded almost too powerful as it showed authority and power in the name and title. The Boss and Pierce were then alerted to their conversation, as they questioned how and why STAG kidnapped one of the Dewynter sisters. They then decided that their earlier theory on the two organisations must have evidently been proven wrong and that if they wanted to do, they should kidnap the Dewynter sister for themselves, to interrogate her or even kill her.

More STAG soldiers rose up the stairs and the room was quickly invaded by the STAG soldiers. Pierce and the Boss quickly began murdering the soldiers with their SMG's and AK-47's, and after a while, the soldiers were killed. Pierce ran down the stairs with the Boss following, as Pierce kicked the front door open with the Boss looking behind him; he saw blood coming from the bedroom that he saw earlier, obviously the Dewynter sister had been interrogated in that room in a very brutal way. Temple got into one of the STAG vans outside with the Dewynter sister pushed inside, influencing Pierce and the Boss to give chase in another one of the STAG vans. Pierce was ecstatic beyond belief, as the van was called an "N Forcer" and had mounted machine guns and strong armoured protection;

"Damn STAG have got some powerful ****! Look, a freaking machine gun!"

"S*** Pierce! But if we use the machine gun on Temple, it could kill the Dewynter sister-Ah F*** it! Haha, just use the gun on his tires at least!" replied the Boss, who was also acting immature regarding the military vehicle but knew that he had to focus on killing Temple, and finding out what he wanted with the Dewynter sister. The saints chased Temple through the entire Downtown district whilst shooting at his tires, however he proved to give a difficult chase as VTOL's and more STAG vans swarmed the district and were intent on stopping the Saints from killing their leader.

However, something strange began to happen; Temple's van began to swerve side to side and across the entire road, causing the Boss to confusingly question what Temple was doing. Eventually, the van crashed itself into a nearby tattoo shop and began to burn as the crash inflicted too much damage on the van; as the engine quickly burned and the fire surrounded the entire car. Temple was pushed out of the van by the Dewynter sister, as Pierce and the Boss pulled up behind the burning van. They left and walked to talk to the Dewynter sister who was very quick to talk to them;

"Look I don't have a lot of time so listen carefully; STAG have big plans for Steelport and the Saints, and the Syndicate want in on it. Philippe has reached out to Cyrus Temple, and the two are working together. If you want more information and help, you're going to have to guarantee my freedom-" She nervously and quickly stated, as she was incredibly scared at something. Temple slowly rose from the ground by his burning van as he aimed a pistol at the saints and the Dewynter sister, causing the trio to quickly enter their van and try to escape the area as it became swarmed with more VTOL's, N Forcers and two tanks. This was too much for the Saints and the Boss knew he had to escape, however it started to look bleak and he wanted answers from the girl, so he began asking her questions however Pierce wanted to ask his own questions;

"So, which one are you?"

"That's all you care about right now? Whether my name is Kiki or Viola? Look my name's-" Kiki began, slightly annoyed with Pierce's question but tried to forget it. She knew what mattered most with the situation and tried to stop the tension between the three.

"Look we don't have time for an introduction so if there's anything you want to tell us, do it now!" The Boss interrupted, he knew that they didn't have time for introductions and more importantly, that wasn't the most important subject that they needed to talk about at that moment.

"*Sigh* fine, STAG and the Syndicate are growing by the day, and they've found newer-" Kiki began, slowly explaining what STAG and the Syndicate were doing, and then building up to the shocking climax of the sentence, but she was cut off by a distraction.

As if by magic, the VTOL's returned and began firing on the van, and a strange static like sound could be heard ringing out to the Saints. Pierce and the Boss closed their eyes and ears, believing that it was the van due to it receiving too much damage, whilst the Dewynter sister had already kept her eyes closed and started moving her head rapidly back and forth, seemingly due to the pain the static sound was inflicting on her.

She then reopened her eyes and seemed stunned by her surroundings, as she punched the Boss and jumped out of the van. Pierce confusingly looked at her and stated that they needed to get her back, but the Boss noted that they were taking too much damage and had to leave. The van drove off in the distance as the VTOL's and STAG vehicles closed onto the Dewynter sister, who quickly rose to the ground and tried to explain herself as Temple walked up to her as he left from his van;

"Cyrus! I-I remember the deal now! I'm okay, I'm-I'm-" Kiki began, she looked desperate in the way she stood as she realised what she had done and the full extent of problems she had caused for both Temple and Philippe.

"Sorry, Kiki, but I can't guarantee that this won't again…" the man coldly replied, as STAG soldiers surrounded her and handcuffed her. Temple stood and pointed towards one of the STAG N Forcers, as she was escorted into the van as Temple began calling someone on a phone, suggesting that he was calling someone outside of STAG.

Meanwhile, the Saints returned to their headquarters, with Pierce and the Boss confused as to whether the day had been a success or not, but the Boss noted that since they have robbed STAG, killed a large amount of soldiers and annoyed Cyrus, the mission should be thought of as a success. They walked in to find Johnny and Shaundi, who had left their guns on the table and were watching television, which was slightly strange for Johnny in particular and Kinzie was sat in her room on her laptop as usual. The Boss called Angel who told him that he, Zimos and Oleg were on their way back to the headquarters and had done a great deal of property damage to STAG, giving the Boss a smirk on his face. The screen then fades and returns with all of the saints in the headquarters and the Boss slowly going over the situation with all of the members;

"Alright, according to one of the Dewynter sisters, STAG have something going on with the Syndicate, Loren's made some sort of deal with him. They're growing stronger by the day and are always finding new ways to **** with us. Things aren't going to be easy as if STAG are protecting the Syndicate, we're not going to be able to find that much on the Syndicate, so we're going to have to hit STAG for a while. But I'm still confused with what happened with the Dewynter sister, Kiki, one minute she's being kidnapped, the next minute she's helping us and then she's surrendering herself. Either she just wants to **** with everyone, or the Syndicate's trying to double cross STAG…"

The entire Saints crew sat on the couch in front of the Boss, confused with what he was explaining as everything seemed to have contradicted the other point. Johnny noted that Loren is good at double-crossing people, so if he wanted to betray Cyrus, he could have done so via Kiki. Oleg then pointed out afterwards that if Kiki was seemingly being kidnapped by STAG in the brothel by the time the Saints arrived, the whole thing may have been a trick for the Saints and it was just one of STAG's and the Syndicate's failed plans.

The Boss then understood both of these view points and stated that regardless of which one, they were going to have to prepare themselves for a big war with STAG, and be prepared for any surprises. Zimos then gave a yawn as the meeting ended, and started making a call on his phone for some strippers, causing Pierce to want in on his fun and began following him. Kinzie returned to her room with her laptop, as Oleg watched her and looked as though he was planning to do something, however he stopped and began walking out of the warehouse with the other Saints. Johnny walked by the Boss and asked him;

"That stuff with Kiki, she sounded…Different. When I saw her on the plane, she was as ruthless as her sister and wouldn't do anything without Loren's command. If she really was betraying the Syndicate, then her sister will probably join her and will leave Loren ***sed. Next time you see her though, you should just hold a gun to her head or threaten to strangle and ask for answers!" Johnny stated, he knew what Kiki was like as he fought against her on the plane and since then, she has been an important member of the Syndicate. He began giving the Boss advice, however he turned it into a slow joke which only seemed like a joke to the Boss and sadisitically not Johnny.

"Hahaha, if we wanted her help Johnny, I can't go around threatening to shoot her or even strangle her!" The Boss replied, as he laughed with his friend, and walked out of the warehouse with Johnny and towards his Hammerhead, as Shaundi followed behind them.

Back at the Syndicate Tower, which had been perfectly repaired since the Saints rescued Johnny and Oleg, Loren was having a meeting with Cyrus in the boardroom with Matt and Killbane, with Viola standing behind Loren's desk. It really did seem as though there was a partnership after all between STAG and the Syndicate, however by Cyrus's lone presence and representation of STAG, it seemed as though only he knew of the partnership. Matt looked very intimidated by Cyrus whilst Killbane sat at the end of the table watching Loren and Cyrus sit next to each speaking directly, angry at how close STAG were getting to their organisation. Cyrus then began discussing the situation with Loren;

"I'm not going to lie Philippe; today's fiasco nearly ruined our partnership." Cyrus began, the anger could easily be seen from even a small amount of words from Cyrus's mouth, but this did not scare Loren.

"A minor mistake on my part Mr Temple, I assure you that it will not happen again-" Loren began, intent on continuing the deal with Cyrus as it was incredibly beneficial for the Syndicate, or mainly him. However, Cyrus was not prepared to hear his excuses, and interrupted;

"The perfect trap was set up for the Saints, and their leader escaped! I do not know how you tolerate failure here in the Syndicate, but in STAG, punishment is brutal. And since Hughes doesn't even know about our plans, any level of failure in a plan can only result in immediate failure for our partnership!" The old man intervened; desperation rang out in his voice as he shouted towards Philippe who was only inches away. His words made Matt cower slightly, and made Killbane snap his neck into place and draw his hands onto the table.

"Mr Temple, it will NOT happen again, you have my word. But please, tell me, why are you so driven by the Saints. I've met countless men in my life who have been driven by many things. Some with jealousy *Looks to Killbane* and others with cowardice *Looks to Matt* but with you, I do not understand. Perhaps you could give some enlightment on the subject?" Loren replied, giving a quick short answer to stop Cyrus's anger, however another thought pressed his mind as he began interrogating Cyrus for answers.

"Hmmm…My hatred against the Third Street Saints are…Personal matters. The leader in the gang in particular, is incredibly ignorant and psychopathic. When I first heard of him, he seemed incredibly powerful and good at what he does, but now that I've met him here in Steelport, he has become soft and weaker than what he once was. In the past, I've heard stories about some of his brutal actions against several street gangs back in Stilwater; from burying a man alive to chopping another's head off, and then to crush-Well, you get the idea Philippe, he deserves every amount of pain that he will get from us. But still, I need to be sure that there will be no more mistakes like today!" Cyrus revealed, so he too was another person driven by some form of revenge. He wasn't prepared to give away his personal life or personal aspects to Loren as it was a professional relationship, and he did not want the Syndicate to learn of any possible ways to blackmail or threaten him. Cyrus's eyes began to hold tightly shut as he spoke about some of the Boss's murders, however he knew he could not allow to show weakness, as continued with more demands.

"*Sigh* Very Well. *Loren clicks his fingers* I was hoping not to do this here with these…audiences, but if you wish for reassurance Mr Temple, then you shall receive it…" Loren decided, Cyrus's demands got in the way of his plans but Loren knew that he had to do whatever Cyrus's wanted of him, at least for now. He called for some of his henchmen to enter the room and began to ease the tension with Cyrus.

Matt, Killbane, Cyrus and Viola turned their heads towards the front entrance, as Morningstar goons entered the boardroom with Kiki bruised, beaten and in handcuffs, and dragged her in front of the table. Viola ran to her sister's aid, questioning to Philippe what was happening, whilst he and Cyrus revealed the events of the day. Killbane tried to stand up as he didn't trust the Dewynter sisters standing so close together in a situation like this, however Philippe allowed it as he knew that she could not do anything to save her sister. Viola refused to believe what he and Cyrus were revealing as her sister had never been the traitorous type, but Kiki whispered something to her, something very important;

"Vi-Viola, something's been going on. Jump behind that couch-I've got a smoke bomb strapped to my stomach!"

Viola then gasped at her words before following her sister's instructions in jumping behind the couch. Kiki then stood up, revealing the smoke bomb underneath her jumper as it started to go off, causing Philippe to quickly draw his pistol and at her, straight into the stomach. She started to fall back, but the smoke bomb went off and surrounded the Syndicate members as well as Cyrus, except for Viola who was behind the couch. Kiki then sat down next to her as she began to bleed to death, and started giving her instructions;

"Everything you know sister about the Syndicate-I-I-Is wrong. Find the Saints, tell them what's happened and help them, their the only ones who can stop Philippe-" Kiki began, tears forced their ways onto her eyes as she knew what was going to happen. She also knew that she didn't have long enough to explain everything to Viola and that she had to escape quickly, for her freedom.

"Kiki, let me give you a hand-We can get out together!" Viola pleaded, unwilling to accept that Kiki was going to die, but Kiki did not listen and could only build her back up like she had done for her entire life.

"No Viola, this is not my time, it is yours. I cannot get my freedom, but you can…Urgh, take the elevator down to the bottom floor and find the Saints…You were always the strongest of us and no matter what he's said to us, Philippe has always betrayed us. He isn't who you think he is…The smoke is wearing off…GO! NOW!"

Kiki then took her purple sunglasses off of her head and gave it to her sister, as a memorial item for her as she knew that Viola was never going to see her again. She then pushed her sister as Viola ran out of the boardroom and towards the elevator; as Kiki closed the boardroom doors giving her sister time to escape. Loren then redrew his pistol and fired at Kiki, but he had ran out of bullets and angrily threw it at the ground. He then gave a short smirk towards Killbane, and then calmly asked;

"Mr Killbane, if you would be so kind?" Philippe asked, with a sinister and evil tone in his voice and raised his hand towards Killbane, then pointed towards the fallen woman.

And surprisingly for a man his size, he ran quickly across the table as he tackled Kiki onto the doors, smashing them and keeping her on the ground. As the elevator door began to close, Viola looked desperately at her sister as Killbane snapped her neck and then winked at Viola. She smashed onto the doors and screamed, as she was quickly brought down to the base of the tower, and began running for her freedom. Killbane then began smashing more of Kiki apart even though she was dead, and then turned to Loren;

"Boss, we have to go after Viola!"

Before he could reply, he could see that Cyrus was about to say something, as he walked across the table that had Matt cowering under; Matt had obviously been cowering under it the whole time since the smoke bomb went off. Cyrus gave a cold torn smile across his face and revealed;

"Don't worry-I know where she will be heading…"

Mission 11 Old friends, new sh*t

The Boss was driving across Carver Island in his brand new Hammer vehicle, which had been fully customised and pimped out for a perfect gangbanger. A lot of money had clearly been spent on the car, however as the other Saints were enjoying themselves for the time, mainly Pierce by setting up some new of his *****y albums, the Boss felt that he deserved a little time to kick back and relax. However, as he was driving to the north west of the island to get to a nearby gas station, he received a call from someone that he did not expect;

"Hello, this is Viola Dewynter, former member of the Morningstar and Syndicate. I have left the Syndicate and now, they and STAG are coming after me, and if you want my help in-"

"You want to meet, don't you?" The Boss interrupted and asked, as he only wanted to hear what Viola had to say about the situation with Kiki and STAG, but he knew that he had to be cautious and prepared for anything, as evident by yesterday's meeting.

"Huh, that obvious?" Viola teased, slightly impressed with the Boss's quick thinking and began teasing the man, as she wanted to give a casual but good impression on him if she wanted his help and to become apart of his gang.

"Send me your location and I'll consider coming…" The Boss replied, still deciding whether or not to give Viola a chance as he didn't trust her and he couldn't predict what other move the Syndicate would throw at him.

"Well then! I'll be waiting for you…" Viola calmly replied, though she knew the Boss would come looking for her. It would have either been to help her, or to kill her; but either way Viola was happy that the saints would come for her as she didn't want to leave herself in the opening too long for either STAG or the Syndicate to attack. The saints presence near her would help her to survive and that's all Viola wanted if she was to avenge Kiki.

The Boss then pulled up outside the gas station, refuelling his car as stood by his car, questioning what to do. He decided to call Oleg, who knew Viola better than anyone in the Saints;

"Oleg, how much do you think I can trust Viola Dewynter?"

"I think she and her employer harvested me for my DNA…" Oleg coldly replied, he could still remember the long period of time that the Syndicate had held him captive for, as well as the pain that they could inflict on him. Even reminders to this day with clones of Oleg were too much of a mockery of the situation, but for the people who did it to him to walk around was even worse.

"Well, guess your holding a grudge then…" The Boss replied, slightly shocked at Oleg's aggression towards even the mention of Viola's name, let alone the possibility of helping her.

"I simply think one must question her motives; one must question any possible hidden agendas or whom she really wishes to assist"Oleg calmly replied, he wasn't as aggressive as before but he was still very clear in what he had to say. He did not know why the Boss would even consider trusting the enemy, but the Boss was the Boss, it was best not to question his tactics.

"Fair enough Oleg, she's calling for our help at a park near Technically Legal. If she wants to **** with us, she can at least do it in our faces. Sending you the location now" The Boss decided, he sent the location where Viola was and decided to call Zimos, however he wasn't picking up which was likely due to…pleasurable matters. The Boss decided that he should just go with Oleg as Zimos won't answer and if he brought someone like Johnny or Shaundi, they'd probably kill Viola before letting her explain herself.

The Boss began driving to the park which was near the Ashwood district, and he began deciding whether or not he should really trust Viola. What happened with Kiki showed the Boss that the Syndicate really could do the most unexpected of surprises, but for Viola to seemingly leave herself in the open for the Saints to attack or kidnap her was very strange. The Boss then wondered if the meeting with Viola could have been an ambush which shocked him a bit as it could have happened, prompting him to load all of his guns ready as he pulled up outside the park. Oleg came in a Criminal four door Saints pickup, with Oleg asking what was going on as the Boss filled him in. Oleg refused to believe that Viola would be willing to help the Saints or leave Loren's side, but the Boss just reminded him that the answers they want will finally be given to them. They then headed into the park near a water fountain and found a guitarist playing a smooth melody, as Viola gave him some money for the music. Oleg then began making quick conversation about this, seeing whether Viola really had changed or not;

"I didn't realise you were a patron of the arts, Viola…"

"We never really had the chance to chat, what with you being a science experiment" Viola angrily answered back, she was surprised that Oleg was with the Saints, which scared her a bit as he knew her very well during his time with the Syndicate. She also knew that he hated her with a vengeance, and could easily kill her with his bare hands if he wanted to, much like what Killbane did to Kiki. However, Viola didn't want to think about this, as it would have only made her look weak in front of the Saints leader.

"I wouldn't p*** off the big guy…" The Boss coldly warned, his aggression was as strong as Oleg's, and even he had his reasons to hate Viola, which made this even more of an awkward and tense situation.

"*Sigh* I'm not here to fight. We need to work together. I can help you take down the Syndicate, I know some of their secrets that you will need-" Viola began, she realised that she couldn't make anymore taunts at Oleg as he was a trusted member of the Saints, despite being a member for a short time. She began giving lists of reasons for the Boss to want her help, however he did not care about what she had to offer, and instead wanted to know where her loyalties lie;

"I don't give a damn what you can do for us. You, Loren and the rest of the Syndicate f***ed up Johnny! When we found him, he was a freaking shadow of who he once was. You people are cold motherf***ers and if you want us to trust you, we need to know that your not trying anything!" The Boss interrupted, almost in a brutal form. At her time with the Syndicate, when Philippe began his plan in defeating the Third Street Saints, Viola had heard of how much the Boss was a psychopathic ***hole, but although he was giving that sort of an impression to Viola, he didn't seem like an absolute ***hole. Sure he was giving a lot of demands and giving a strong attitude, but that's what a leader had to do, prompting Viola to question whether he truly was a douche. After listening to his strong rant, all Viola could do was stand shocked at one certain part of his speech;

"Johnny? He's still alive? **** me, there goes my chances…"

"What do you mean Viola? Of course Johnny Gat is still alive, the Syndicate kidnapped him and held him in Syndicate Tower, near the cloning facility where you held me captive…" Oleg interrupted before the Boss could answer, he was immediately confused with Viola's choice of words as she must have known Johnny was kidnapped and then rescued.

"Wait, Philippe had him? I thought he was killed in the plane…I-I didn't know. Look I'm going to say this once and if either of you mention it to anyone, I will kill you both: My sister has betrayed the Syndicate, she was held captive by STAG and then you rescued her and she tried to side with you. Then she came to her senses and realised what was happening, but Philippe wasn't happy with her and had her killed right in front of me. Now their after me and with both them and STAG trying to kill me, I'm a dead woman walking. All I want to do now is kill Loren and Killbane, and so do you" Viola replied, she began speaking in shock and brushing her hair back and putting her hands on her hips, struggling to understand what to do with the new knowledge about Johnny. Philippe had also informed her about Johnny Gat as well as the Boss during her time with the Syndicate, and she knew how ruthless and powerful he was, as he had survived many things from being stabbed by a sword to taking a shotgun pellet in the knee.

Viola realised what she had to say afterwards, and revealed what had happened to Kiki. As she gave the revelation, tears weld up in her eyes as her fists clenched whilst she sat down on the bench. She brushed the tears away and tried to stand back up tall when she began speaking of STAG and the Syndicate, and prayed that the Boss would believe her, but the tears returned and she fell back onto the bench. He stood in front of her speechless and looked to Oleg, as he too struggled to comprehend what to do about the situation, and then slowly nodded his head as he could see the large amount of true tears in Viola's eyes. The Boss then gave his hand out to Viola and calmly noted;

"I guess what you say really is true then, that sort of stuff does sound like Loren and Killbane, since both Johnny and Oleg have said that Loren is a sneaky b******…"

Viola then looked up as the tears stopped and smiled, and quickly took his hand and was about to thank him, however before the emotions could get the better of either of them, the Boss then noted;

"But if you're pulling anything here, if I find out that your still helping them and are trying to kill us, I will personally make sure a bullet goes through your head-" Viola then looked up to him as he pulled her very close to him, and the intimidation ran down into her eyes. But she too was a strong person, and calmly nodded at his words as he gave them to her. Philippe was right in saying he was psychotic, but he wasn't an ***hole after all. As he began to finish what he had to say, he was cut off by the sounds of vans driving incredibly fast towards them, as jets could be heard closing in on the park and even large tanks could be heard in the distance.

The Boss held Viola by the shoulder as she had to clutch onto him as he still held her tightly, not wanting to lose sight of her but once the three heard the sounds of the oncoming vehicles; they knew who it was. STAG was coming for all three of them, which gave the Boss reassurance that they really did want Viola dead, however he couldn't be sure if this was just to kill a gangbanger like Senator Hughes ordered, or if it really was because of a deal with Loren. Before the Boss could think further on the subject, he realised that he didn't have any time for it, and let Viola go as he told her and Oleg to run for cover. They began running towards Technically Legal as the Boss looked back across the park to see one of the STAG tanks drive over the Boss's new Hammer, causing him to clench his hands as he shouts;

"You mother****ers! That was my baby! My-My-Ah **** it, I can get a new one…" He realised half way through the aggressive outburst that he was the leader of a very powerful gang that were making a lot of money, if he wanted a new car he could easily get one.

The Saints made their way for Technically Legal, leaving the park and entering an alleyway behind the strip club. STAG vans tried to block the exit of the park for the Saints, however they surpassed this with the Boss jumping over one van, Viola running in-between the two vans and Oleg simply running on top of one van. The Boss quickly gunned down three STAG soldiers who were trying to stop the Saints, and Viola ran to the back entrance of Technically Legal, trying to open the door however to no avail. Oleg however, simply kicked the door open and smashed it to pieces, and to show that he was "Being a Gentleman", he allowed Viola to enter the strip club first, by asserting to the Boss, "Ladies First".

Swarms of STAG soldiers and vans closed in on the back of Technically Legal as the saints entered the strip club, and Oleg closed the doors and blocked the doors by pushing tables, water coolers, anything he could throw at the door, he did. Even more STAG soldiers pulled up outside of Technically Legal in STAG N Forcers, and jet's closed in on the strip club, obviously Cyrus and Philippe were desperate in killing Viola, as well as the rest of the Saints. A black woman emerged out of one of the vans and began walking towards the door, as the rest of the soldiers stood behind her with their weapons armed. The fact that her armour was a brighter white and she didn't wear a helmet indicated that she was of a high rank in the STAG Initiative. Some of the soldiers were about to try and open the door, but Kia raised her hand as she made sure that the orders were clear;

"Commander, the Saints have taken refuge with one of the Dewynter sisters, we're about to move in" she calmly alerted to Cyrus, she was very sophisticated and specific in the way she talked, which was what Cyrus liked in people; suggesting that she was an important soldier to Cyrus.

"Roger that Kia, contact me when you have them secured" Cyrus coldly replied, as he pretended to act calm however in reality he was slightly nervous. He knew that if Viola revealed his alliance with the Syndicate, his whole plan against the Saints would be compromised and he would never be able to get his revenge on the Saints's leader.

"Yes, Commander" she quickly replied, as she raised her hand down after receiving her orders. It seemed that whenever she would be given a task, she would always make sure that what she does is accepted by Cyrus, indicating that she either looked up to him or was only best at being a soldier and not a leader.

After deciding that the backdoor was perfectly blocked off, the saints began walking down the dressing room and backstage rooms of the stripper club, wondering how they were going to survive the assault from STAG. Oleg suggested that they should head to the roof and call for some Saint reinforcements, however the Boss replied that the best aircraft the Saints had were helicopters which would likely not chase away the VTOL's. Viola then asked if they had any fast vehicles that were very durable, to which the Boss started talking about his old Hammer vehicle that was crashed by STAG. Oleg then interrupted by noting that the Saints criminal vehicles would be perfect for the situation, to which the Boss agreed. He was about to reach into his pocket for his phone until more STAG soldiers stormed the backstage area and began open fire onto the saints.

The Boss pulled out his new shotgun, which was an A3 Ultimax, similar to the one Kinzie had, and returned fire onto STAG and they were all quickly dead even with their armour on. The Boss shouted that since STAG are invading the strip club, they should call for reinforcements on the roof and wait for backup there, which Viola and Oleg quickly agreed to. Eventually they emerged from the backstage area and walked further into the strip club, looking for the door. All of a sudden-flashbangs, the saints were blinded by multiple flashbangs as more STAG soldiers entered the stripper club and held the strippers as hostages, however Oleg could not care for this and simply ploughed into the soldiers, regardless of whether they had hostages. Viola drew out her SMG and began to defend herself, as she proved to be very trigger happy in front of the Boss, which looked as though it matched even Johnny's. Eventually after a long fight in the main room of the giant stripper palace, the saints survived and made their way for the stairway, however they were quickly stopped by even more STAG soldiers, who this time were armed with riot shields and more laser rifles. The Boss threw a grenade towards the front door as Viola continued to let loose with her SMG, and after the retaliation from the two, there were only two soldiers standing.

Well two soldiers standing until Oleg grabbed them both by the balls and threw them out of the stripper club, which seemed to happen a lot to most of the people who came to Technically Legal. The Saints headed for the stairway as the front entrance of the strip club was knocked down by another wave of STAG soldiers, intent on defeating the Saints. The Boss tried to shoot a few with his shotgun, but it wasn't necessary as the saints ran through the door that gave exit to the roof, and Oleg prepared to close the door tightly shut. One of the STAG soldiers threw a grenade at the door which simply bounced off and Oleg noticed this and then quickly closed the door as the grenade blew the STAG soldiers to their deaths. Parts of the strip club began to shake with the grenade explosion, causing some debris to fall by the door, meaning the Saints could return to the ground floor via this way and the only way they could now go was upwards.

The Saints reached the roof as the Boss looked across the skylines and saw countless VTOL's closing in on Technically Legal, causing the Boss to swap his shotgun for his AK-47 and load it immediately before the storm returned. Viola sighed and reminded the Boss that he needed to call for some reinforcements before they are gunned down. The Boss remembers this and begins calling for backup, which is quickly answered by a handful of Saints recruits. One of the caller's promises to pick up the Saints with a Criminal vehicle and another caller promises to give covering fire via an attack helicopter. Oleg remarks that since the Boss didn't want to escape via a helicopter due to the large amounts of VTOL's, the saint in the attack helicopter would struggle to cover the Boss. He knew this and pointed out that STAG will be focused on the trio and wouldn't waste time on reinforcements if it meant that the Boss and Viola would escape.

Viola casually smiled at the Boss's words, showing that he seemed to know what he was doing and she began to feel that she was going to get out of the situation safely and quickly, until the VTOL's and other STAG planes arrived. One wasn't as wide as the normal VTOL's and had two mounted machine guns, with a larger height and it was a four by door; with the decals on the side that said "Condor", that must have been the name of the type of aircraft. The Saints then began opening fire on the VTOL's, as the Condor closed in on the roof and dropped off STAG soldiers to fight the Saints. Oleg charged through the soldiers and brutally beat them to death, whilst the Boss and Viola did their best at bringing the VTOL's down with their guns. They struggled, as the VTOL's flew off when smoke began to rise from the jet's, and more VTOL's would arrive at the scene after the previous ones left, and Condors would always be flying towards the roof and dropping soldiers off. Viola began to lose hope that the Boss knew what he was doing, and was forced to ask;

"We can't hold these people off forever, we're running out of ammo! Where are your people?"

"They'll be here Viola, we just need to stall these b****es and then get the f*** out of here…" The Boss shouted over the bullets, it seemed as though the Boss could never lose hope in his crew and that aside from fighting for his life, he was fighting for the rest of the Saints. STAG were a powerful fight and although the Saints as a whole could likely match the whole of STAG, the Boss wanted to take the government organisation down by himself, as he didn't want to risk his friends. Viola noticed this and questioned whether Loren had a similar personality, but she could not decide.

"Even when our reinforcements arrive, how do you propose that we get to the ground floor?" Oleg shouted, his words grabbed both the Boss's and Viola's attention, as the Boss stopped shooting oncoming VTOL's and Viola stopped questioning both of her leader's motives and personalities. The Boss then realised that the doorway downstairs had been blocked off by the debris, and began looking around for exits. Thankfully, he saw an elevator nearby which Viola ran to so she could try to activate it. The Boss then covered her as he shot at more oncoming waves of VTOL's whilst even more Condors dropped off soldiers that Oleg was forced to contend with. Finally, the Boss received a call from one of the Saints;

"I'm coming down the road now, just hang tight! One of our girls has a chopper in the air!"

The Boss felt at ease as their escape route was coming, but more STAG soldiers kept arriving on the roof via the Condors, and the Boss was held up with the VTOL's and Viola was still trying to activate the elevator, as it seemed that STAG had cut the power in the strip club. All that left was Oleg, who was slowly being overpowered by the soldiers as he tried to smash two soldier's heads together whilst another soldier shot him at point-blank range with his laser rifle, bringing Oleg down to the ground as he could not contend with so many enemies. He fell to the ground, with his enormous body shaking the roof and alerting the Boss's attention. He quickly gunned down the soldiers on the roof and helped Oleg backup on his feet, as he was slightly covered in bruises by the soldiers. Viola then finally worked the elevator but a larger amount of VTOL's closed in on the Saints and they knew that if they went downstairs, the VTOL would only fire on their escape vehicle. Oleg saw what had to be done just like Johnny did on the plane, and told the Boss;

"You two head back to the headquarters! I will take care of this!"

"What the Hell are you doing man?" The Boss confusingly asked, as Oleg ran and jumped off the roof and onto one of the VTOL's. Oleg smashed his way into the pilot's seat and began shaking him across the jet, which spiralled out of control and fired randomly onto the other VTOL's, bringing them down quickly. Viola and the Boss watched in horror as Oleg brutally stood one of his feet onto the soldier's head, and then grabbed the soldier's feet with his hands and forced the feet to Oleg's soldiers. The man's spine was brutally released out of the body and blood and gore splattered onto the streets below as Oleg's savage nature emerged; he was incredibly ***sed off with STAG, and wanted to end the fight quickly. He then jumped onto another VTOL and tried to repeat the same tactics, but the pilot had the best idea to fly away from the strip club and to try and cause problems for Oleg.

The Boss and Viola stood with their jaws wide open at Oleg's aggression, as they slowly walked into the elevator and made their way to the ground floor. The Boss kicked the door of the front entrance down as he was quickly delighted to see some of his Saints giving the Boss and Viola covered, as the Criminal vehicle was sat outside, and all of the Saints were waiting for the Boss's move. The Boss smiled at this as he and Viola got into the back of the Criminal, with two of the saints driving the car. The Saints helicopter revealed itself in the sky and the saints recruits told the Boss that they would make their way to the penthouse which was being protected since the Boss's departure from it and that with the power turned back on, it should be as good as it once was to live in. With the helicopter in the sky, the recruits driving the vehicle and the reinforcements holding off most of the STAG vehicles at the scene, all that was needed was for the Boss to give covering fire. It seemed like a usual day out for the Third Street Saints, until one of the recruits saw Viola;

"Hold up Boss, what the **** is she doing here-"

"I'll explain later-Just get us to the penthouse!" He quickly interrupted, the saint speaking out to him worried him slightly as if a recruit like the one driving was quick to show his anger at Viola, he couldn't dare to imagine what the likes of Johnny and Shaundi would do. Viola sat looking at him, glad that he was taking her side and that finally someone was sticking up for her. Normally it was her sister, but…And with the Syndicate revealing themselves to being ***holes and STAG trying to blow up the whole city, the Saints were Viola's safest home, and she was glad to be apart of things. Meanwhile, STAG vans and tanks chased after the Boss on the road, as the attack helicopter blew up enemy VTOL's and afterwards, the Boss began to feel at ease after they reached Aparice Island. He was doing what he loved most; firing blindly and aggressively with a rocket launcher that he received from the saints recruits, a new Saint was in the gang and he was hitting STAG hard. But the happiness could only live for a short period, as once the Saints reached the end of Aparice Island and began to enter Downtown, the saints helicopter was blown up by the VTOL's, and more STAG vehicles began closing in on the Saints.

They were a street away from the penthouse as one of the STAG tanks managed to land it's weaponry on the Saints' Criminal, and the car began to flip over. It rolled over for a while and began to catch fire as it stopped rolling and was left upside down. The Boss and Viola unbuckled the seat belts and began to escape to the penthouse, whilst the Saints recruits could not escape in time and were blown up with the car. The Boss looked back at this, and coldly muttered Cyrus's surname as he and Viola ran for the penthouse. The STAG vehicles began closing in on the duo and as they finally ran through the penthouse's doors, the STAG vehicles tried to drive directly into the front doors. As the Boss and Viola looked terrifyingly at their seemingly deaths, a VTOL began crashing towards the vehicles and a huge explosion murdered all of the STAG vehicles. As the Boss and Viola looked confusingly on towards the fire and smoke, Oleg emerged and dusted off his clothes, declaring;

"The pain has been delivered. Let us fight, FOR ANOTHER DAY!" Oleg shouted victoriously, as he shot one of his large arms into the air as the entire Third Street Saints crew pulled up outside and began chanting with him. Obviously they had all been fighting off STAG and were called by the reinforcements to head for the penthouse. Pierce jumped out of his car with Kinzie and jumped up into the air, beginning to shout one of his albums that he published specifically for the Saints' benefit. But they all stopped chanting and glared at him as he was singing on the top of his car, and he opened his eyes to see the entire gang glaring at him. Viola then shouted;

"Sorry, but you can't sing for ****! Haha-" Viola declared, trying to quickly fit into the gang as she could easily tell by the moment that she met Pierce, he really couldn't sing and her attitude was the same as the other saints. However as she shouted out to the man, Johnny and the other saints saw her, and began questioning what she was doing with the Boss, as Johnny drew out his pistol and aimed it towards Viola as he walked up to her and coldly announced;

"Girl, you better get the **** away from us as fast as you can! You know why? 'Cause I'm starting to remember! I remember what you people did to me! I remember you and Loren-Oh God!" Johnny began, he held his pistol tightly at Viola's face and slowly unravelled what had happened to him at Syndicate Tower. But this was beginning to be too much for Johnny, as he began to scream in pain and could not continue to hold his gun.

Johnny began to break down and he dropped his pistol as Shaundi ran to his side. His ears began to bleed slightly and he was badly sweating, whilst Shaundi tried to help him up and walked with him into the penthouse as the rest of the Saints followed. Viola felt slightly discouraged and was pushed by the door, but the Boss stayed at the back and patted her in the shoulder, saying that the time has come to decide whether Viola would become a saint, causing her to flinch slightly. The screen then fades and returns in the penthouse, late at night in which the important members of the Third Street Saints sat in the lounge area, with Viola standing by the glass doors and the Boss looking down at everyone, watching their movements. Johnny and Shaundi were in the bathroom, with Johnny receiving first aid for his recovery, and Shaundi berating Viola with him for what has happened. The meeting started to turn into a war zone, with Viola trying to explain herself but slowly being overpowered by the entire gang;

"Look, Loren's betrayed me and now he and Cyrus both want me dead. I can help you take them both down-Your going to need me!"

"Girl, you sadd-delled me up in a pon-ay show-" Zimos answered back, unknowingly starting a group fight against Viola.

"-You were prepared to watch me die at Killbane's hands-" Angel coldly added.

"-I was taken prisoner and you stood watching me moan in pain as my DNA was stolen-" Oleg angrily asserted.

"-The Deckers kidnapped me and you had the power to stop it-" Kinzie loudly declared.

"-And you ****ed up the entire Saints!" Pierce confidently and aggressively finished with.

Viola stood and began walking backwards as each member began explaining their hatred against the woman, and she then realised that by working with the Syndicate, she truly had ****ed off many powerful Saints. However, when she thought the worst had come, she was brought even closer to breaking down as Johnny and Shaundi walked out of the bathroom, as all of the saints' heads turned to him;

"You've ****ed with all of us Viola. Humiliated us, left us to die, and with me, you drugged me and tried to clone me!" Johnny announced, with the anger in his eyes being blocked by his glasses and his hands pointing at each Saint when he listed Viola's crimes against them.

At this point, all of the Saints sat in shock at Johnny's words. They finally realised what had happened to Johnny during his kidnap by the Syndicate, and the full extent of his torture. Oleg slowly rose up and looked the most sympathetic as he could understand the pain that he was going through. However, he passed on a peculiar look towards Johnny, as Oleg did not remember his eyes bleeding as a result of the cloning, but that was likely because Oleg was awake throughout the entire cloning and that Johnny clearly had been drugged too much. Viola then began to walk back even more and began to slowly fall to the ground as Johnny drew out his gun again, aiming it at her face. As Viola closed her eyes, a gun shot rang out throughout the penthouse, but it wasn't from Johnny's gun. It was the Boss, who had heard enough from the Saints on Viola and began to make a decision on what to do;

"Alright people, I've heard just about enough, since Gat isn't in the best condition right now, we're gonna leave it to a vote. I want everyone to decide whether or not Viola should join-It's only fair and that's what happened with all of us." He decided, he didn't want Johnny to vote as the Boss couldn't tell what was wrong with him, and that the rest of the saints should just vote instead. Viola then stood up as the Boss walked to each saint and asked the question as to whether Viola should stay; Shaundi, Zimos and Angel said no whilst Pierce, Kinzie and Oleg said yes which surprised Viola as she didn't expect the latter three to vote for her. It was a tie and the Boss's vote would be the deciding factor, and all he felt that he needed to do was nod his head. Viola smiled at him doing this and the Boss then decided that once Johnny's fully patched up and everything else is taken care of, the Saints will return to working on defeating the Saints.

Meanwhile, the main remaining members of the Syndicate are in Philippe's lounge which was near his office, whilst Cyrus arrived to give them their wanted information. However, Cyrus could not and revealed that Viola has sided with the Saints, causing Philippe to spit out his cigarette in disgust and tells Cyrus that they should improve the amount of patrolling STAG soldiers on the streets, which Cyrus nods to and states that he will continue his own work on destroying the Saints, before quickly leaving. Philippe then walks around one of his table, pacing for ideas until he looks to Killbane and holds his hands onto his shoulders, then begins offering him an opportunity;

"Mr Killbane…I fear that I may have been holding you back. I should never have let Temple take control of the fighting…It is your time now Killbane. I have an idea that will cripple the Saints and give you a bigger…spotlight in Steelport. Gather your Luchadores and wait for my call, MurderBrawl may be your main centre of television, but soon that will change…" Loren decided, his hands had slithered onto Killbane's large shoulders and Philippe had made sure that Killbane was taken in by his cheap and meaningless words.

Killbane then smiled at Philippe's apparent kind words and then walked out of the lounge, quickly calling some of his men in preparation for the plan, whilst Philippe then turned to Matt. Matt quickly cowered as Philippe walked towards him, and he began facing the window whilst Philippe put his arm onto him and began speaking to him;

"Mr Miller, whilst those two run around and get themselves killed…I have bigger plans for you. Our alliance with Temple is slowly crumbling but I feel that does not need to be the end of things…It is time that your computer abilities are put to better use. Temple has let slip some information on his weapon arsenal and now since he is no more than a weak old man, it is time for the young to step in and take charge…Get whatever you will need for hacking Matt, it is time to strike at the heart of a new friend…"

Meanwhile, nightime fell onto the Saints as Viola thanked each Saint that had voted for her whilst the Boss realised that just like everyone else, Viola needed to be canonised and then called across the penthouse for some Saint recruits to canonise Viola. She snapped all of her fingers and prepared for a fight as Johnny mumbled to the Boss that he knew that the Boss wouldn't have done this unless he knew that Viola would win. The Boss smiled, and the two slightly enjoyed watching the sight of Viola break one of the Saints' arms, then sitting on top of another and punching him in the back. She then jumped to the final saint and kissed him on the lips, then grabbed him by the throat and threw him to the wall. The entire crew looked on, stunned and speechless, with the Boss starting to clap his hands which was followed by everyone else, everyone except Johnny and Shaundi who seemed to have hated Viola the most. Viola was the only remaining fighter standing at this point, and warned as she raised her arms in the air;

"Don't ever ****ing doubt me!"

Mission 12 Live! With Killbane

The majority of the Saints were sitting in the penthouse, happy to have finally returned to their original headquarters as the night began to dawn on them. Oleg sat with Pierce and the two were playing chess in tense silence, and judging by Pierce's smirk on his face, he was winning. Viola sat on her own on the couch, drawing and writing in her black notepad, whilst The Boss walked in to see what everyone was up to. He was surprised that Oleg and Pierce were playing chess instead of working on fighting the Syndicate, but Pierce revealed that after the first three games ended in draws, the two chess players felt that they needed to find out who the better person was once and for all. Viola interrupts and states that they have been playing all morning and that the entire penthouse has been quiet, then goes on to say that Angel was training whilst Johnny and Shaundi were working on destroying some gang operations owned by the Syndicate that they had discovered. The Boss nods at this and Pierce adds that Zimos was at his Car Wash pad, doing what he always does in his free time: getting laid. The Boss then sat on the end of the couch, pretending to watch the chess game but was actually trying to see what Viola was doing in her notepad. He could see that she was drawing something, but as he leant further towards her, she quickly closed it and began acting protective;

"Come on Viola, I know you and the Saints have had history in the past, but we've got your back! You don't need to hide anything from us-" The Boss pleaded, he could see that Viola only wanted to keep herself to herself after what happened with Johnny, but the Boss wanted to help her become a normal Saint like the other members. However, she was stubborn and didn't want to let her guard down as after Loren tried to kill her, she struggled to trust anyone;

"Just because you guys are my friends doesn't mean that I want you all to know everything I'm doing. Don't I have the right to free will?" Viola answered back, she was like a young teenage girl keeping secrets and refusing to tell her parents. At least this is what it seemed to Pierce and Oleg but the Boss knew it was really because she didn't want to be controlled or watched over all the time like Philippe did.

"If you want us to trust you girl, then you need to open up…" Pierce called over from the chess game, his opinion of Viola was the most complicated out of all of the Saints. He knew about her history with the Syndicate and disliked her for it; however he liked her shy yet strong personality and wanted to help the Boss make her a normal member of the Third Street Saints. Oleg meanwhile, was too busy concentrating on the chess game as it was his move, but he sat in silence trying to make another strategy. Pierce flickered his fingers onto the chess board, waiting for Oleg as he was taking too long, but Pierce became slightly distracted with Viola as he was growing bored of the chess game;

"My name-Is Viola…" Viola replied coldly to Pierce, in her eyes, none of the Saints trusted or liked her and only kept her around because she was useful in defeating the Syndicate. The fact that he didn't answer her by her name and seemed to be talking down to her wasn't helping either, but the Boss fell back further into the couch as he decided that Viola would eventually warm up the Saints in time. Finally, Oleg made his move on the chessboard which slightly stunned Pierce, but then Pierce quickly made another move on the chessboard to counter Oleg. Before Pierce could say "Checkmate", Kinzie came storming into the penthouse via the elevator with her laptop, and before the Boss could greet her, Kinzie began once again talking to the Boss and not with him;

"You need to see this!"

As Pierce began declaring checkmate, Kinzie noticed the anger in Oleg and quickly placed her laptop onto the chessboard, causing Pierce to moan in anger as Oleg teased that there would be another time for a battle. The Boss and Viola moved off of the couch and joined the other three and began looking at the laptop. It was a live video in which Jane Valderama was seen making a report on the news;

"This is Jane Valderama. Tonight, I sit with a man that the wrestling world calls 'The Walking Apocalypse'. Eddie Killbane Pryor is here tonight to discuss his plans for MurderBrawl, as well as shed some light on a serious problem with the Third Street Saints. Eddie, thanks for coming here-" Jane Valderama began; she was giving her usual news report as best as she could, however her hands were on the table, shaking slightly. Back in Stilwater when the Boss was reforming the Saints, Jane helped the Boss in taking back the streets of Stilwater and helped the Saints enormously in the media, which helped to give many fans for the Saints. It was likely that the reason her hands were shaking was because she knew the Saints would be watching, and that Killbane was clearly not a fan of the gang. Before she could finish, Killbane interrupted her after hearing the name that he did not want to hear;

"-My pleasure Jane, and please, call me Killbane" Killbane sharply added, he acted as civil and kind as best as he could on national television, but he could still not hide the fact that he hated hearing even the mention of his real name. He placed both of his large paw-like hands onto the table, and then subdued one of his hands in the other after telling Jane to refer to him as Killbane.

"Very well. Killbane, you've came here tonight not only to discuss your upcoming MurderBrawl opening party and event, but also to discuss a city issue. Would you like to share it with the rest of Steelport" she asked, slightly nervously but she managed to build up a confident façade in front of the cameras. Killbane smiled at what she asked for, and looked straight on towards the camera whilst giving a short speech that almost seemed like it had been scripted;

"People of Steelport, it has come to my attention that there are some questions as to who truly owns the streets of our great city. Some people believe that Mayor Reynolds own the streets of Steelport however as he and Senator Hughes struggle to combat a certain problem, casualties arise in the midst and they slowly lose their power. But what is this certain problem? It is none other than the Third Street Saints. They are slowly creating they influence in Steelport and destroying our once great city, just like what they did to Stilwater. Now you all know who the leader of the Saints is- 'The Butcherer of Stilwater'! He has become the city's greatest threat but who can save us during these troubled times? Well an old friend of mine has assured me that he is giving all of his power into this city, and that he will help to clean up the streets, of Steelport. This friend is none other than Cyrus Temple, Commander of the STAG Initiative! And not only will he help to clean up the streets of Steelport, but he will be joined by none other than the walking apocalypse himself!" Killbane proudly announced, his words slightly confused the camera crew and Jane at first, but by the end, everyone was shocked at his words. It was difficult to understand how he could have known Cyrus, but Viola had already known the answer. The Boss then shook his head and looked to Kinzie for help;

"I might be able to triangulate where they are if you go to the broadcasting stations and-" Kinzie began, as she whipped her phone out and started sending the Boss a message with locations of the broadcasting stations for his GPS. Before she finished, the Boss quickly understood what she needed them to do, and called for Viola and Pierce to help him out. The trio ran downstairs and the Boss drove Pierce's Sovereign and read the message that Kinzie had sent him earlier. It told him to head to the docks near Kinzie's warehouse which the Boss began heading for, as he turned up the radio to listen to what Killbane had to say. The interview returned onto the radio as Jane began trying to distract Killbane from talking about the Saints, and focused on the return of MurderBrawl to Steelport, which worked as Killbane couldn't resist bragging about the sport. Pierce questioned as to how Killbane is the one who is making the interview and mocking the Saints, whilst Viola replies that Loren would never want to leave himself in the open and reveal himself for the Saints to attack him, which the Boss and Pierce agrees to. The Boss then realises that Killbane is likely being offered as bait and that once they get to Killbane, there will likely be a trap which Pierce and Viola agree to. They reached the helicopter and the Boss began flying it as Pierce turned on the radio to continue listening to Killbane, whilst Kinzie rang the Boss to give further instructions;

"The broadcast locations have been sent to you, but there will likely be some problems along the way. I'm trying to find Killbane's location but it is hopeless. Destroy the broadcasts and the signal, then I will be able to find Killbane out of all of the static" Kinzie asserted, she warned the Boss that the Syndicate will likely be setting up traps for him as Killbane truly was being offered as bait. However, he did not know this and was instead enjoying himself in the interview;

"Killbane, a lot of people must ask about your last match and managing to defend your title for the 30th time-" Jane began, continuing asking anything to Killbane to talk about that did not involve the Saints, which the Boss was grateful for as he could not afford to have even more of his reputation destroyed.

"Ah, yes. It was a slightly difficult match against Rick The Bomb Bomerson, but eventually I was able to tackle him to the ground and suffocate his face with my legs, as I pounded my fists of steel into his guts until I saw his lungs stop moving. I rose up to the adoring crowd as always, and when it looked like The Bomb had returned, he was merely a ticking meltdown as he struggled to walk and eventually, realisation kicked in and he kneeled down before me, before falling asleep for the last time. At least with that man, respect was given between competitors and it was a fair fight between us, however street fights are not the same Jane, and people always tend to cheat on the streets to win. Take The Third Street Saints for example…" Killbane happily answered, giving a graphical but gruesome reminder of his last fight, but throughout the interview, Jane held her hand towards her mouth and her eyebrows began to rise slowly in horror. Killbane finished the question by discussing the concept of street fights, and noted that anyone cheated by bringing the Saints into it. The Boss grew angry at this and Pierce felt that it was lucky that they had arrived at the first broadcasting location, before the Boss could shoot at the radio. There were many members of the Deckers on the rooftop, protecting the satellites and other types of radio signals. Viola and Pierce fired their weapons against the Deckers and quickly killed them all, as the Boss made his way to the top of the building and began shooting at anything that looked like what Kinzie called a "Broadcast Signal".

Viola looked to him in confusion as the Boss tried to pretend that his methods would save time, whilst Pierce whispered to her that the Boss knew nothing about electronics. The Boss then told him to shut up as the trio ran back to the helicopter to the second location, which was close by the building. It was on a tower which had even more Deckers and this time had an attack helicopter which slightly worried Pierce as time was running out before the end of Killbane's interview. The Saints landed the helicopter on the tower and began shooting at the Deckers, however it was slightly difficult as some of them had some strange technology on their outfits that…made it appear as though they could transport. Viola believed that was a combination of flashbangs, but Matt had modified it to give out a bright blue glow instead of white however Pierce and the Boss were too attracted to the prospect of teleporting which Viola sighed at. Eventually after a couple of rounds from Pierce's shotgun and Viola's pistols, all that was left was the attack helicopter.

The Boss went to blow up the satellites whilst Viola and Pierce gave cover by shooting at the helicopter. After the Boss finished his job, he fired his pistols towards the helicopter which managed to bring it down, which impressed Viola as she asked how he managed to do it. The Boss quickly revealed that he had bought explosive bullets for his pistols whilst jumping back into the helicopter and turning the radio back on. The final location was further away and in the centre of downtown which caused problems as there were a lot of skyscrapers that would make flying to the final broadcast location difficult. The Boss didn't lose confidence however, and made his way for the final broadcast location as Killbane began trying to speak more about the Saints;

"Jane, if I may be so bold, are there any questions on that paper regarding the Saints?" Killbane asked, almost in a demanding tone but fortunately for Killbane it sounded very pleasant. However as he raised his arms from the table, Jane began to get even more nervous and reluctantly complied with his order.

"Well, err, it appears that there aren't anymore Killbane, shall we press on with another matter?" Jane replied, trying to lead the interview away from the Saints and improvising on finding something else to talk about. However, Killbane slowly grew angry with her as he shook his head, and slammed his hands onto the piece of paper with questions. He quickly scanned the piece of paper looking for a question, and thankfully found one.

"Wait! Here is one! 'How were the Saints involved in destroying the Alderman Hughes Bridge of Steelport?' Now that I feel is a very good question. It is really simple really; the Saints watched the unveiling of the bridge by our great Senator Hughes, and the leader felt sad because he wasn't apart of the spotlight. So he forced his gang to set explosives across the bridge whilst he went on a murder spree. He would have gone after Senator Hughes too, if I hadn't stepped in and defended our great city!" Killbane began, announcing a question to discuss that would hurt the Saints's publicity, He then began to turn the interview slowly into his favour and it began to mimic a play; the hero and villain were revealed and the plot and climax were set. But the Boss could not let this happen, and landed the helicopter onto the final location after a slow period of flying through the skyscrapers.

There were Deckers all over the area, with an attack helicopter in the air firing down towards the saints just like the last helicopter. After gunning down all of the Deckers however, the fight proved to have not ended as another brute, one of Oleg's clones jumped down to the Saints after trying to protect the broadcast signals. Pierce told the Boss that they were running out of time and that he needed to destroy the final broadcast signals, but when the Boss began running to finish the job, the brute starting firing the minigun and the attack helicopter started shooting at Pierce and Viola. The Boss then muttered that he cannot leave the two, and he returned to the fight and fired his pistols towards the brute's head. The Brute then grabbed him by the neck and smashed him into the ground, whilst the Boss tried to shoot him in the guts whilst Pierce fired his shotgun at the Brute.

Viola then noted that they really did struggle for time, and drew out a knife, before brutally stabbing the brute in the spine and attracting its attention. It pushed Viola out of the way and she nearly fell off the skyscraper, but luckily grasped onto the railings instead of falling to her death. The Boss finished off the Brute by placing a grenade into his mouth and leaving him to explode in the saint's face. Organs splattered onto Pierce as he moaned about his stained clothes, whilst the Boss told him to go and destroy the broadcast signals so the Boss can save Viola. The Boss ran and helped Viola back onto the skyscraper which slowly helped her to feel more accepted and apart of the Saints;

"…Thanks, I thought I was done for sure…" Viola softly said to the Boss, grateful that she was saved when she assumed that she would have been left for dead. The Boss smiled and then reminded her;

"You've got Saints protecting you Viola, always remember that!" with a cheerful tone, trying to help her connect to the gang. He then remembered the situation and questioned what Pierce was doing, as explosions caught the attentions of the Boss and Viola. Pierce had blown up the broadcast signals from above in style, as he tried to jump out of the explosions in style and slow motion as fitting music was played on his IPOD. However, gravity began to kick in and he quickly fell to the ground on his face, before moaning and squinting in pain. The Boss told him to get up as they have finally destroyed all of the broadcast signals, but when it appeared that the hard work was over, the Boss received further instructions from Kinzie;

"Alright, thanks for the help in taking out the jammers-Sending you the coordinates of the van-" Kinzie began instructing, preparing the second part of the plan for the Boss however it wasn't too long until he was confused with the technicality that she was using.

"Woah woah, hang on; I thought I was taking out the broadcast signals!" The Boss quickly interrupted; confused with the instructions Kinzie gave him. He couldn't understand everything that Kinzie was telling him to destroy, to chase and to find; it truly was confusing and infuriating.

"No, you took out the jammers that the Deckers were using to mask the signal. Now all I need you to do is find the van" Kinzie slowly began, trying to bring the Boss back to pace with the plan, however he couldn't remember Kinzie being specific with the plan and only told him to go and blow things up. Kinzie then finished by making things simpler, but again the Boss was confused.

"Van? What van?" The Boss answered back, wondering why the hell Kinzie was talking about a van if he needed to blow up some transmitters to find Killbane.

"You know, a broadcasting van. It's where the signal is being transmitted from?" Kinzie quickly explained, trying to make the explanation short and simple as time was slowly running out/

"So…It's inside it?" The Boss tried to guess, trying to understand what Kinzie was explaining however he really had a long way to go in order to fully understand what Kinzie meant.

"Urgh, just shine the f***ing light off the helicopter onto the van! Coordinates sent…" Kinzie shouted, as she grew tired of the Boss's questions and finished the instructions with a touchy ending. She then told him afterwards that the coordinates were sent, and then hung up. She then had a painful headache caused by the lecturing as Oleg handed her some painkillers.

The Boss, Pierce and Viola got into the helicopter and swooped down to street level to find the broadcasting van. It wasn't hard as Pierce reminded the Boss that Jane was reporting for Channel 6 and quickly spotted a van with a red beam being fired from the roof and had decals of the Channel 6 logo all over the van. The Boss smiled at this as finally he was getting somewhere and began trying to shine the light on the van. It seemed that he spooked the van for being too close to it, and it began trying to escape from the Saints' helicopter. The Boss was not prepared to let the entire long struggle and complains about the technicalities of the plan just for a coward to run away, and flew the helicopter very closely and impressively over the van, as the signal was quickly found by Kinzie. Kinzie unwillingly called the Boss to inform him that she has found Killbane's location, and sends him the location via GPS. The Boss smiles at this as he gets an idea, to which Pierce questions. The Boss brings out his phone again with Viola asking if he needed more information from Kinzie. The Boss turned up the interview on the radio as things began to turn interesting and ugly;

"It appears that we have a caller for your interview Killbane. This is Jane, you are on the air" the reporter calmly announced, she was thankful for it as Killbane was revealing an in-depth plan of how he will defeat his opponents in the ring of MurderBrawl, but if she knew who was calling, she wouldn't have allowed it.

"Yeah, uh, I'm gonna come down there and rip your Goddamn throat out!" The Boss shouted over the phone, as Pierce and Viola realised what he was doing and began to laugh at his mockery of Killbane.

"Um, I think it is time to end this call as there aren't any questions-" Jane began, trying to stop the fighting and end the beginning of a large argument over the radio between the two gangsters. But, Killbane slowly stood up and began talking directly to the Boss, but not before remembering that he is representing the Syndicate for Mr Loren, and that he has to try and look civil;

"I'm sorry, that did not sound like a question. Tell me, what do you have to say for yourself, in destroying the Alderman Hughes Bridge and forcing the necessary arrival of STAG for our poor city?" Killbane coldly answered back, he knew that he had to humiliate the Saints and make them look like terrorists which he tried with a direct question about the Hughes Bridge. But the Boss brushed it off, and continued the threats and insults.

"Are you serious? You and you boys in tights did all that crazy s***! I swear to God, your gonna wish you had a spine for me to rip out, as I'm gonna tear out your balls and feed them to you!" The Boss shouted, slightly angry that Killbane was trying to force the people of Steelport into believing that the Saints were responsible for the bridge explosion. He quickly directed the blame onto Killbane, and started to ravel in declaring the insults.

"You dare threaten me over my body! This body needed to be sculpted by more people than just God! You couldn't dare even lay a dent in this masterpiece!" Killbane asserted, refusing to believe that a man who had never trained before and lay around for five years in a coma could do anything to him, but the Boss just chuckled at his words and calmly answered back.

"Dude, you're a jumped up wrestler from Mexico that Angel De La Muerte took pity on because you wanted to see men beat each other in shorts. Eddie, you've got no fashion taste with that mask, and you're a ****ing train wreck-" The Boss began, remembering Angel's background with Killbane and using that to hurt him. He knew that Killbane would hate to hear even the mention of Angel's name, let alone referring to him with his real name.

"My name-IS KILLBANE! I AM THE WALKING APOCALYPSE! YOU AND ALL OTHER FOOLS WILL KNEEL BEFORE ME AS I BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY!" came the brutal and aggressive retort from Killbane, who had begun to lose his temper, as he kicked the desk that the interview was being broadcasted in front of through the window. Killbane then realised his mistake at the end of his declaration, and slowly began to worry as he realised that his plan had failed big time.

"Now who's deranged? See you soon Eddie…" The Boss teased, with Pierce and Viola laughing throughout the whole segment and afterwards, Pierce gave the Boss a fist pump and Viola high-five him. Kinzie called him again to inform him that she checked through the CCTV of the building and that Killbane's trying to escape through his Infuego. He was driving off for cover after realising the plan had failed and the Boss noted that the coward wasn't going to escape. The Boss flew past the radio station and managed to find the green Infuego in the streets below, and Pierce handed Viola a sniper rifle as she prepared to execute her revenge for Kiki. The Boss flew in front of Killbane's car, and Viola zoomed in on his head with the rifle and began to pull the trigger.

But something happened, the helicopter was reporting damage and it was spiralling out of control-During the escape, Killbane had called for cover in the form of attack helicopters which managed to get radar lock on the Saints' helicopter, and it fell to the ground and fire surrounded it. The saints quickly jumped out onto the streets below and stayed clear of the fiery explosion, whilst looking around for Killbane. There was nothing there-No Luchadores, no Luchadore cars, no Luchadore helicopters, no Killbane. Viola shouted in anger as she threw the rifle down to the ground, whilst the Boss calmly noted;

"Don't worry Viola, we'll find him. He mentioned something about the MurderBrawl Opening party-We should get onto that…"
