"Fuck Sakura!" Syaoran yelled seeing her disappear. He pulled the vest up getting a hold of his temper. "Avalon I've lost Sakura, I want you to check her vitals and pinpoint her," he ordered before continuing on their way.

"All right" they guys appeared and started to fire on them but Syaoran moved out of the way and walked towards them while the other two took over.

"Ah" one yelled being kicked making the other two turns to look at him, their mouths hanging up.

"What the fuck" They yelled watching his body thrust into the opposite wall.

"Never take your eyes off your enemy" Syaoran spat holding the guy around the throat lifting him off the ground. He pulled out his gun and fired hitting the guy in his back as he took off. The man's gun clattered against the ground as he went limp and collapsed.

"Please" the one Syaoran had begged turning purple. Syaoran looked at him coldly even though he couldn't see him, in answer he tossed and kicked him with so much force that his neck broke.

"Let's continue" he called to the guys making them come out gulping. They knew he was bad but they didn't know he was vicious; he had only used five bullets so far.

"Li, she's right below you but she's moving and fine" Avalon stated making him sigh.

"Good, watch her movements" he said before ending the line.
Rika and the others stopped, she leaned against a wall reloading her gun. She failed to see that there was a hole behind her; she felt something grabbed her legs and pull. "Alex!" she screamed when it pulled her into it the tunnel, she moved her gun sideways making it catch and hung unto to it.

"Rika shit" Alex said trying to help her out by pulling the gun but she wouldn't budge. She cried out feeling like she was being ripped in two, what ever it was tightened around her feet. "Help me"

"Okay" Mika got in front trying to reach for Rika's hand before he reached her she screamed losing her drip and disappeared.

"Rika" Alex yelled hearing her screams. He pulled the gun back getting ready to go in but it snapped shut making him jump back. "What the hell?" he whispered in disbelief.

"Come Alex, I'm sure she's fine," Mika said pulling him to his feet. He didn't know what was going on, "Avalon we've just lost Rika, is she all right?"

"Yeah, funny we just lost Sakura as well" Avalon said wondering why all the girls were disappearing. "She's fine, nothing's wrong except for her heart rate has speed up"

"All right" Mika said helping Alex to his feet. "She's fine, we'll just to find her come on"

"Right" Alex sighed picking up her gun 'please be safe' he thought.
"Two down, one to go" Kitty snickered watching Mei Lin and her group. "They think they are so smart"

"I know, get her so we can separate" Kanbi spoke excitedly wanting to get this over so she could rest. But at least being busy kept her mind off Max, she still didn't know if she wanted to talk to him.

"Yeah hurry before the little wolf finds his cherry blossom" Ashley sighed playing with her gun.
Tomoyo and Naoko moved closer together when fighting could be heard outside the door. They didn't know if it was their saviors or what but they were scared and unharmed. The door was kicked open and two bodies came flying in making Mikelle and Rae start to cry. "Rae?" they heard a voice that sounded very much like Mei Lin say.

"Mei Lin?" Tomoyo gasped not able to see anything a moment later a flashlight went on and they saw Mei Lin, Jamie, Atashi, Max, Eriol and Takashi who took off their masks.

"Mommy" Rae said running to Mei Lin who scooped her daughter into her arms forgetting about the vest.

"Mei Lin be careful of the vest," Wei warned stepping out of the dark when Takashi rushed over to Chiharu and his daughter. He sat down on the bed looking at his wife; he reached out and touched her cheek making Chiharu close her eyes.

"Takashi" she whispered brokenly.

"Come get up I've got to get you out of here" Takashi stated making her sit up being careful of the baby. "She's beautiful," he whispered taking the bag he had attached to his side off. "Just like you" he continued grabbing the vest he placed on the bed. "Here put this on"

"Okay" Chiharu took it sitting up. She felt soar having given birth without any painkillers. She looked over at Eriol, Jamie and Max who were working as fast as they could to get the vests off.

"Where's Kari?" Jamie asked working to get this vest off Mikelle with the help of Atashi.

"Tiger's got her," Tomoyo answered looking down. "He took her as bait" she whispered when Mika and the other stumbled in the room almost making them fire.

"Naoko" he gasped running over to his wife engulfing her in a tight hug making her wince but she hugged him back. "Where's Mikelle?"

"We're trying to get the vest off him" Eriol answered softy watching were the tire went. He glanced his watch knowing they had to hurry this was taking too long. Alex leaned against the wall thinking of his wife, Naoko noticed that Rika wasn't present and frowned.

"Is Rika with Sakura and Syaoran?" she asked taking the gun Mika handed her.

"No she fell through a tunnel, just like Sakura we have to go look for them but we've got to get ya'll out first" Alex answered looking out the door. "Rika's a big girl, she'll be fine"

"Okay there you go" Jamie smiled taking the vest off Rae making Mei Lin sigh. He placed it on the table slowly not wanting to take any chances; Mei Lin hugged her daughter to her body laughing.

"OH baby I missed you," she whispered before placing her on the table. "Look" she smiled showing Rae her bear making her giggled grabbing it.

"Teddeee" she squealed when Jamie handed Mei Lin the vest. He smiled at her before going over to Wei and gives him the extra they had.

"Yeah come on put on vest for mommy" Mei Lin said putting it on then buckled it while Naoko did the same with Mikelle having put hers on.

"Come on, wrapped her up warmly so we can get a move on when they are ready" Takashi said looking up when Wei walked up.

"She's not in shape to walk" Wei said looking at Chiharu who winced putting the jacket on.

"No I'm fine" she assured "Just a little pain" she guaranteed wrapping her daughter up. "What are we going to name her?"

"How about Justice?" he asked getting up from the bed. Chiharu nodded looking up at him, "Come on, we have to get out of here"

"Yeah" she got up slowly holding her baby close to her, she prayed that nothing would happen as they try to get out. Mei Lin hugged Rae taking her into her arms, she was never going to let go of her daughter ever but now she had to get her out.

"Come on people let's go, we don't have time to waist," Jamie stated knowing that they had to go out as fast as possible. He looked at Mei Lin and Rae and smiled now all he had to do was get them out.

"Yeah" they all answered, he walked to the door and looked out making sure that the coast was clear. Seeing that it was they moved out one by one but couldn't move too fast cause Chiharu was still in pain.
Mei Lin hugged Rae to her holding her gun ready, she wanted to race out of this place but knew that safety was the best. She leaned against the wall when they slowed waiting for Takashi and Chiharu. She held Rae's head down knowing that her daughter was afraid of the dark. "Oh god!" she gasped when the wall disappeared and she started to fall back.

"Mei Lin!" Max yelled trying to grab a hold of her, he got a grip on her hand but he was pulled through as well.

"NO!" Jamie growled when the wall was back in place. "What the hell is this place" he asked no one particular. "We have to get you all out of here then I'll go and look for Mei Lin and the others"
Sakura.
Sakura walked through a small hallway rubbing her back; she had slid all the way down the tunnel and out a tube landing on her butt. Holding unto her gun tightly she headed in the direction where light was coming from having no idea if she was walking into a trap or not. She saw a shadow move across the walls and stop pressing her self against it. "Syaoran, where are you?" she whispered slowly moving.

She jumped back when a man came running out of nowhere he looked shocked seeing her. She pointed her gun and shot him repeatedly making him drop to the ground, she walked over to his body and kicked him to make sure he was dead. Seeing that he was she continued on her way, she looked up when she saw that she had walked into a mixing room. The large containers filled with chemical mixers still on, looking around she slowly moved into the room. "Well it's about time you joined me" a voice spoke making Sakura spin around only to see Ashley before she disappeared behind a small machine.

Sakura ducked behind a control panel holding her gun ready, "Tell me was it your plan to get us separated?" she asked making sure her gun was loaded and thankfully it was.

"You could say that, I want to kill you and then I'll be more then satisfied so come out and play" Ashley laughed moving up behind Sakura. She moved over the machine and ducked when Sakura stood up and started to fire. She laughed moving fast, her adrenaline rushing.

"Come out and play then I don't have all night," Sakura ordered emptying out her cartridges before reloading using her quick load system. "Ah" she jumped when Ashley started to fire on her, landing on her back she push her self back looking for any movement. Looking up she fired when Ashley came out of nowhere but she missed her. Ashley landed on her feet right beside Sakura and attempted to kick her, Sakura blocked it but her gun got knocked out her hand.

She growled kicking Ashley in the mouth making her fall back but she flip to her feet when Sakura also got up. Sakura reached for her knife pulling out making Ashley laugh getting one as well. They circled each other both frowning, "You do you want to kill us?" Sakura asked eyeing her.

"Ah because I love to kill" Ashley yelled jumping at Sakura, they both moved out of the knives path but Sakura winced feeling it cut her arm. She stumbled back making Ashley charge her at, she ducked and punch Ashley in the stomach then upper cut her knocking her off her feet.

Sakura looked down to her get her gun not seeing that Ashley got back up, she was surprised to feel her self flying backwards when Ashley kicked her. A control machine stopped her; she knocked it hard falling on the ground. "Did that hurt?" Ashley yelled kicking Sakura across the face with her boot making her fall on the ground. Sakura flipped to her feet kicking Ashley in the face at the same time.

She landed on her knee and hand, wiping the blood from her jaw she pushed her self up and jump kicked Ashley across the face pulling out her gun at the same time. "I don't mean to kill but you leave me no choice" Sakura growled starting to fire making Ashley's body shake from the bullets hitting her.

Ashley looked at Sakura with wide eyes her hands moved to her stomach feeling the warmth of her blood on them. "I guess the best won," she muttered before clasping to her ground. "Kanbi, Kitty" She whispered before her eyes slowly closed and she caught her last breath.

"I'm sorry" Sakura breathed she grabbed her gun on the ground before running off. She had to find the others and Kari and get out of here as fast as she could. She had just killed one of the blood sisters so now only two remained.
Jack.
He and his men took noticed when they saw some figures moving towards them. They all got their weapons ready just in case they were the enemies. "Don't you dare fire?" Mika stated making him sigh putting down his gun.

"Where are the others?" Jack asked when they walked through the clearing. Mika placed his son on the ground looking him over carefully.

"They are still inside at least Syaoran, Sakura, Rika, Alex, Jamie, Mei Lin, Rae and Max are," he answered making Jack frown. "I want you to get my family out of here, I'm going to wait and see if I can get in touch with the others"

"Mika no" Naoko shook her head. She didn't want to leave him not now; she couldn't bear to leave him in such a place. Mika turned to her and she swallowed seeing the cold look in his eyes, he looked so much like Syaoran that it was scary.

"You listen to me, you and Mikelle are leaving now and I don't want to here any more of it. Get in" he ordered tightly. He had had enough of arguing; he wanted them far away from this place. "Please Naoko" he practically begged. He and Eriol would be staying but Takashi would leave with Chiharu and Justice.

"Daddy no mad" Mikelle said looking up at his mother and father. Naoko looked at her son and sighed nodding, she scooped him into her arms and gave Mika a kiss.

"Don't get hurt or I'll kill you?" She warned making him smile nodding. "I love you"

"I love you too now go" Mika said playing with Mikelle's hair making him giggle. Naoko and her son get into the back of the SUV looking at her husband, Mika waved to them as the driver made a hasty reverse. He watched until the car disappeared before he turned looking at the men with him. "Come on let's wait and see"
Kai.
She looked out the window looking for any sign of them; everyone was sitting in the living room of Wei Yue's home. She had prayed many times for their safe return but so far it seemed as if god wasn't going to answer her prayers. She looked up when Vivian placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry they'll be fine" she assured making Kai turn and hug her.

"I hope so, I love Sakura like she were my sister and them like they are family. They are the closest thing to a family I have" Kai replied blocking out any image of her sister Tiffany. She had visited her sister's resting place a couple of times but with each visit she would cry more feeling lonely. She hadn't a clue what would happen to her and Whitney when Sakura and the others would return to Hong Kong.

"And you are family too, I would like it very much if you and Whitney decided to stay with me" Vivian stated surprising Kai who looked up with misty eyes. Vivian smiled wiping her tears away; she had grown to love Whitney and Kai like they were her daughters.

"You want us to stay with you?" Kai asked uncertainly making Vivian shake her head. "Oh I would love nothing more, you are like the mother I never had," she whispered hugging Vivian tightly.
Clare looked at Vivian and Kai when Whitney walked over to them and joined the hug. She smiled knowing that her friends had found a home and a really wonderful family. "I won't have to worry about them leaving now" she whispered resting her had on Wei Yue's shoulder, he hugged her to him.

"Yeah they are really cool, I guess I can tell my friends that they'll be going to our school" He smiled making her nod looking at him with twinkling eyes. She placed her hand on the back of his neck giving him a kiss making him smile deepening it. She was glad that Sakura had come back and saved her from a life she knew she would have regretted in the long run.

She couldn't believe she had been that stupid as to join a gang and especially the Tigers. She loved being with the Wolves but she didn't want to ever join a gang again it cause too much pain. She had lost Tiffany and her baby through a gang and she didn't want to lose anyone else. Kai and Whitney would be free of that life as well but she could see that they were Wolves, it was written all over them. Breaking away from the kiss she looked at her friends who were standing next to each other and could clearly see them in about two years time acting just like Mei Lin and Sakura.

A smile touched her lips knowing that that kind of life is what they were placed on this earth to live. She on the other hand was here to marry Wei Yue and have a normal life without guns but that didn't mean she wouldn't love to go speeding through traffic once in a while.
Tiger.
He looked at Kari who was sitting in the middle of the floor hugging Kero to her. He smiled seeing how brave she looked even though she must know that she was in danger. Such a perfect little Wolf already she was, but he would make her a Tiger after this night was out. "What are you thinking about?" Ming asked from behind him. She had asked him repeatedly to leave right now but he told her no.

"Just waiting for the Wolf to show up, this will all end here. One of us is going to die tonight and it'll end the war for now" Tiger answered frowning deeply. He wondered what was taking so long; the wolf should have already been here or at least the Cherry Blossom. "Will you fight or run?"

"I will fight with you always" she answered moving to the front, touching his face she pulled up the mask revealing his lips. Smiling she kissed him passionately knowing that this would be over soon.
Kitty.
Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor

She came to a halt seeing the body of a woman on the ground, her long brown hair covering her face. Though she tried to fight it down she couldn't help the fear that ran through her as she made her way to it. Bending down she moved the hair that was soaked with blood.

Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Beaten why for Can't take much more

"Oh fuck no, no," she whispered turning her sister's body over. "Ash no" she used her hand to wipe the blood off her face trying to stop her trembling. "Ash stop joking" she couldn't believe that her sister was dead, they had killed her those bastards killed her sister. "Kanbi come in" she spoke over her radio.

One - Nothing wrong with me Two - Nothing wrong with me Three - Nothing wrong with me

"Kanbi, Kit what up?" Came Kanbi's voice.

Four - Nothing wrong with me One - Something's got to give Two - Something's got to give

"It's Ash, she gone" Kitty answered holding back tears. She looked at her sister who had been more like a mother to them since as they parents had died when they were young.

Three - Something's got to give Now

"Are you sure?" Let the bodies hit the floor Push me again

"Of course I'm sure bitch, kill anyone that you come across I'm going to find the Li bitch and kill her" Kitty spat being filled with rage. She didn't care who the person was who came across her path; she was going to kill them all.

This is the end Skin against skin blood and bone

"Right, I'll meet you in Tiger's part" Kanbi stated reloading her gun, she wasn't going to get distracted because of Ashley's death. She knew that her sister would have wanted them to complete the mission and that was what she and Kitty were going to do.

You're all by yourself but you're not alone You wanted in now you're here

"Over" Kitty picked up Ashley's gun putting in her pants back. She stopped when she heard something move behind her. She grabbed her gun spinning around firing at whatsoever it was. Rika jumped out of the way landing behind some containers of chemical. She saw the big X and them and groaned.

Driven by hate consumed by fear Let the bodies hit the floor

"Oh shit" she cursed pushing her self up. She ran just when Kitty started to fire on them, she was sent flying off the floor when it blow up rocking where they were. Kitty smiled reloading her gun as she moved looking for the person who she was looking for.

Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor

"Come out bitch so I can kill you" Kitty ordered feeling the need to kill something and she happened to be exactly what she wanted. She saw Rika move and started to fire, Rika cried out being hit in her arm. "Oh did that hurt?" she teased taking out another cartridge.

Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Beaten why for

"Not a chance" Rika growled running from behind where she as hiding knowing that Kitty was reloading she started to fire but Kitty evaded the bullets. Rika used the quick load system to get new cartridges as she landed on her belly then rolled under some bars.

Can't take much more.

Kitty started to fire on Rika who pushed her self with her feet still on her back as the bullets hit the pipes. She pushed faster when one broke and fluid started to ooze out. "Shit" she growled seeing that when it touched her boot front it started to eat away at it. She rolled from under it, Kitty jump from her side to Rika's only to jump right into Rika's fist.

One - Nothing wrong with me Two - Nothing wrong with me

She stumbled back against some pipes, shaking her head she jump forward and jump kicked Rika's gun out of her hands. Before Rika had a chance to get her other gun Kitty swept her off her feet making her land on her back with a thud. Kitty smiled taking aim before she could fire Rika kicked her gun out of her hand, when it hit pipes it fired a shot making one shatter. Kitty and Rika looked at it seeing steam shot out from it, Rika rolled unto her back covering her self but Kitty wasn't so lucky. Three - Nothing wrong with me Four - Nothing wrong with me

She screamed feeling the great heat attack her face, dropping to her feet. Rika looked back only to see Kitty on the floor not moving, she pushed her self on her belly moving away from the steam. She jump to her feet when she saw Alex, her heart skipped a beat. "Alex" she called holding unto her gun as she made way to him. One - Something's got to give Two - Something's got to give

Alex looked at his wife who was heading towards him; a ton of stress was lifted off his shoulder seeing her run to him. However that all returned when he saw the Kitty's body start to move, "Rika no" he shouted when she was almost to him.

Three - Something's got to give Now

Rika looked at him in confusion when he ran to her, he hugged her spinning her around. She stiffened hearing a gun being fire numerous times, and all fears in her body awakened feeling Alex stiffen his eyes widening. "Alex" she cried feeing his weight drops on her. "No!" She looked back only to see Kitty get up and disappear through the steam, her laughing echoing through the room. "No!" she screamed sinking to the floor with her husband's weight.

Let the bodies hit the floor.
Mei Lin.
"I have to get my daughter out of here" she whispered making Max nod as they walked through the hall trying to find a stairs that would lead up but so far they hadn't any luck.

"Hunbry" Rae whispered in her mother's neck as she hugged her teddy to her. Max looked at Rae and smiled making her smile back.

"Shit" he cursed hearing people running towards them. "Mei Lin, you and Rae go on up ahead. I'll keep them at bay and then come, go now" he ordered making her look at him and nod.

"Be careful Max" Mei Lin said tightening her hold on Rae before she ran off towards the lights not knowing how she was heading into danger. Max leaned against the wall holding up the semi automatic. He started to fire making the men coming around the corner drop one by one. He moved back when they started to fire on him, he wanted to make sure Mei Lin got far enough with the kid.

"Shit" he cursed tossing the empty gun aside. He took out his two guns and started to fire moving backwards faster. He pressed it against the quick load system when they were empty getting new cartridges.
Mei Lin ran into a room that had a lot of barrels stacked on top of each other all of them having a warning on it. She didn't want to be an in room like this with Rae. Looking around she started to move but came to a halt hearing a metal bar clank against something. She turned around just in time to duck the bar that Kanbi swung at her; she landed on her back with Rae who started to cry. "Hush baby" she whispered pushing her self back on her back.

"Well" Kanbi smiled swinging again but Mei Lin rolled out of the way.

"Rae move out of the way," she cried out feeling her self being hit on the back with it. She pushed her self back kicking Kanbi in the stomach but Kanbi moved her hands over it dropping the metal bar. Mei Lin jumped to her feet and elbowed her in the face. "Rae get away from here" she ordered her daughter.

"Mommy" Rae cried watching what was going on in fear. Kanbi flipped to her feet when Mei Lin kicked her off ground. Grabbing her gun she and Mei Lin took aim at each other and fire but their guns clicked repeatedly.

"Fuck" Kanbi cursed tossing it aside as she got her other one, they both knocked each other's gun out of their hands and got into a stance jumping at the other. Both bent on getting rid of the other because it meant their survival. "Ah" Kanbi back flipped kicking Mei Lin under the jaw. She landed on her feet as Mei Lin stumbled back falling on her back.

"Mommy" Rae cried running to hug Mei Lin, she saw Kanbi take aim and couldn't stop Rae from running to her. She screamed thinking Kanbi was going to fire but was shocked hearing Kanbi cry out holding her arm.

"Max!" Mei Lin shouted seeing him fire and hit Kanbi in the arm. She hugged Rae to her knowing that the bullet would have hit Rae if Max hadn't shown up. The name Max turned on all of Kanbi's fear and she slowly turned around holding her gun.

"Don't mov-" Max broke off in disbelief. He stared at Kanbi wondering if he was dreaming. This had to be a dream, surely the woman he loved wasn't standing in front of him, surely the woman he loved wasn't about to kill his family. "Kanbi"

"No!" Kanbi cried shaking her head. Why couldn't he had been a different wolf or not come here at all. She held her gun steady; at least she was trying to hold it steady. Mei Lin looked at them in disbelief, this couldn't be the woman Max had been seeing all those days. She swallowed wondering what was going to happen now, who was going to fire.

Kanbi's eyes widened seeing her sister walk through the entrance holding up her gun. She looked at Kitty's face wondering what had happened to her, no one knew what happened but Mei Lin screamed, as did Kanbi as she ran to Max. Gun's fired right when Kanbi spun Max around, her eyes widened feeling the bullet pierce her skin. "No!" Max shouted when she leaned heavily against him slipping to the ground. He saw the woman drop but Kanbi was all that mattered to him, "Kanbi

"Max" she cried painfully.
