Tripoli was at war!
That was what Dora-the-Kid surprised about. He could not believe it, as Libya right now was still in status quo. They didn't know who could have done this, but by reinforcing themselves back to the mansion of Abdelhakim, they knew it was not normal at all.
Kid, Nikov, Tom and Butch together with Zeidan and had run together to the mansion, near the sea. The mansion was quite distinct overall, and they felt that the mansion could provide them as safe house.
As such, firing increased, when they quite listened over and over, they yelled:
"اطلق النار عليهم! اطلق النار عليهم!" (Shoot them! Shoot them!)
"تلك الطحالب هناك! اقتلهم! اقتلهم!" (Those algaes are there! Kill them! Kill them!)
In all these, the "algaes" affected Kid the most. He soon found out that, the attack was organized by …
"Damn … Gaddafi loyalists are back! Hold the city!"
Gaddafi loyalists! They found over what would have gone on and they believed it could be … the violence inside Tripoli was the battle between the National Army and, Gaddafi's Green Army. The Green Army, known for its loyalty to late Gaddafi, kept making the messes around Tripoli.
And so they engaged again. And now, they were running. And thus the story centered from different eyes, again.

James Davidson POV:
I work in the United States Armed Forces for some years now. My experience was full of damn thing.
Back then, I used to be a private Commander under charge of General McClaude. But I had been increasingly wary over the others' operations in Libya. Jamie moved to Benghazi, the others went to Tripoli. And they didn't contact much unless there could be a problem over and over.
This time however, it was different. I received something from the computer, and … I found that …
…
Tom Cat POV:
Damn it! S*t! WTF had just happened? I didn't believe it, only just an attack and then whole city burnt down! We were running as the gun shooting kept going on and on. That's funny? No it's not, idiot!
I didn't think so!
"RUN! GO BACK TO THE MANSION! WE WILL FORTIFY IT THERE!"
We were running back to Belhaj's mansion. This made the fighting escalated in anytime, but, hey! We were not suffering this once. I used to get with it twice, with Devil Fruits lmao!
As such, when we were running, the gun fires escalated in larger degree of level and no one seemed to have zero tolerance on the fight.
We were running! Damn it! Damn it! We were trying to run away …
…
Liliana Kranjcar POV:
We were heard that people didn't allow us to go outside in fear of any incursions due to increasing violence. I felt that there was another gun fire. Not again.
And we must be under … custody, due to this. They went out through and through, many men armed with weapons and they were walking overall. I felt the clash might continue, but because we were not allowed to go out, we didn't know.
I didn't like that anyway. With my sword, I could have handled these guys for some fight. Given they had guns, I didn't know, well …
I watched from the window and the gun fires …
…
Hatoko Kushikawa POV:
In there, we were singing for fun until the blow up caused everything to change. We were not ready to witness such things and we didn't want it overall. It was devastating and we could not approve such a story.
We had no clue what would have gone.
"Oh dear, what's happening?"
We were watching and watching. We didn't understand what had just happened for a while, but from my experience it was clear that we were under … siege!
The whole city was in siege!
Why? We totally had no interest on involving in such problems and we didn't like it at all. We came here just for touristic destination, but we didn't expect for such comings from there. It was not a nice way anyway and I would oppose it anytime. Sadly, we might have been even in worse trouble.
"It is so stupid!"
Liliana spoke out, and I agreed. Mirei confirmed similar words. It was likely my feeling was gonna bad anytime and we must prepare for it, because there was no sign that gun fires would calm down away immediately.
…
Hayato Gokudera POV:
Oh yes, we were walking. When the gun shot, we all got a big surprise because we didn't think it would have come.
In fact, I was having some sense that Tripoli must be very not normal because of something proven there: increasing soldiers, and more vehicles in the street. It must be very passionate but extremely cautious and bloody.
I knew that as always.
Only this time, we heard about the explosion outside the street and we didn't know what was happening. We didn't speak Arabic because we are not natives in Libya. Not even say not sure how many Libyans use Italian, even I knew Italy ruled Libya for a long time, until 1943. Erica was lucky that she met Italian speakers, but I didn't want to bother over it.
Hence, to seek a road, we must try to go over and over it. We hid in a bar at the street, where there was some people trying to get shelter too. I was not surprised. I tried to sue my ability to handle over it.
"Boss, you should be careful."
"I think so, we need to give people shelter, while trying to seek road back home."
"Back to the hotel?"
"Yeah!"
However, it wasn't last long. While we were running, we heard that there was …
"BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!"
Some windows in the bar were broken. It meant the fight was exactly near to our location. Damn, they didn't let anyone alone? Stupid bloody thirsty suckers! Have they spent time and said "Ahmed! Ahmed! When we will kill people?" I guessed so, citing Bianchi's fun experience with her Libyan friend. Eh!
"Move! Faster!"
I encouraged them in Italian and English, my two favorite languages. I spoke Italian because I was raised there. LOL! But that was my mark. Anyway, we felt it could be …
…
Tsunayoshi Sawada POV:
But we were running. With Jurai, Hayato and Godou, we were together trying to help other safe. But it seemed like we're yet to be armed fully to teeth. Mostly due to some issues out there. But no one was safe so we must be hurry!
Ironically, during the onslaught, we captured a new that the people outside who attacked Tripoli belonged a garrison that loyal to the old leader of Libya, Gaddafi. I remembered Bianchi's friend was once a child of a colonel aligned to Gaddafi, if Hayato mentioned not wrong at all.
Frankly, I had no idea on Libya before Hayato told me there. Unlike Hayato, I had even no idea about the Italian rule of Libya back then, until now.
But forget it! We were not safe!
We didn't know what would happen next because of the messes outside. But I heard that some people were yelling, and they fired seriously, no one gave other people to handle their own.
But when we went out, we had been …
"الفئران نذل!" (Bastard rats!)
"Not this time, ignorant!"
Hayato surprisingly gave his gun on arm and fired on a soldier, who wore a green turban. He was knocked down and all of us felt a little safer a bit. We had absolutely little feeling on it since it was not our first priority. Our main priority was, safe all cost!
Hayato did a great job though.
… yeah, C.A.I.
Yuri Plisetsky POV:
To be honest, I had to be surprised almost. I ran with all power together with Otabek, yet we didn't have many connection. We ran as I tried to gather connection between me, and, of course, Tsuna.
Tsunayoshi Sawada, damn this guy. I was not sure if he were in somewhere. Not just say his comrades. Jesus Christ!
I was wondering, what type of weaponry we needed to use. I mean, I did know that. Even if I did arrive on time, I guessed they must have acquired armed weapons.
Yeah, I remembered the day when Piashi gave me power though. Thus I used my few little ability to acquire my hope, by the subject I reminded all, it was useful.
"لقد حصلت لك الآن!" (I got you now!)
Really? A soldier wearing green hat, suddenly tried to ambush me and Otabek. I just took a little response: "Try it!" and surprisingly unleashed by skiing conquest. It's frozen his feet and disabled his gun. Otabek was surprised when only my kick could have frozen the man. Well, bunch of idiots wouldn't pass anyway.
By freezing him, I also took away his own AK-47, yeah, another weapon made by our country. I felt surprising that a lot of Russian weapons there, but if I were not wrong, Russia is known for exporting weapons. Nothing too shock there.
Alright, again, I was wary of Anna, too! Where was she? I knew she was with the girls singing karaoke but, in such a devastating moment, I should have known it earlier.
Anna Fatima POV:
Eh!
I used to listen from my oldest cousin, Khaled, because he witnessed the war in Algeria before. Back to 1990s, Algeria was the land at war due to the Government's army against the Islamists. He said there were many similarities among Algerian Civil War to Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and even Somalia, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Sudan. I felt sense.
Yes, from my part on, I felt a bit close on it. My mother's brothers, Taras and Ismail, they did come to fight in Iraq before, both on the Kurdish side.
Strange.
My family is diverse. I am of Algerian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar origins. Both of them had been experienced for war before. Khaled, as I noted, used to fight in Algeria for 3 years and he still survived. Anton joined the Yugoslav War. Hence that's my family. My late father was an exception, but I didn't like him much.
I felt I had enough confidence to face it, a consequence of my family's long tradition of involving in mass fighting. But I didn't understand why.
I tried to speak to all of my friends: "Girls, we need to find a way to deal with the ongoing war."
"Geez, speak is easier than doing it." I was met with criticism from Mariya: "Do you have any conclusion?"
"Oh … I have no idea." I gave up. Everyone fell down and they thought I was not smart. Actually, I had no idea, really from my words. It was not much.
…
…
…
"CRACK!"
The window of the karaoke!
It was broken! All the girls were a bit shocked when a man, stabbed fell into our room. Then another jumped on, tried to threaten us. He had a green badge!
"Oh no you won't!"
Erica surprisingly made a stab by her sword, and she stabbed the Gaddafi loyalist. He was totally surprised, but he was too slow to avoid. With that, he later fell down, and didn't breathe anymore.
But it wasn't the end. Instead, it was even tenser than we thought about …
