Luna and the other heroes managed to find where Arno is hiding, which was a large, abandoned warehouse that seemed wider and bigger than the one Abomination is currently living at back home.
Of course, a warehouse would be an ideal place for a villain to hide in, so it wouldn't br that big of a surp.
Mason wanted his treacherous uncle to pay for what he had done to his father and he was feeling really fired up now. Despite being furious and angry at Arno after he had done, he still didn't want to kill him, because he was still family to him.
Him and Les Loups Enrages were a very dangerous bunch that needed to be stopped at all costs.
"Are you guys ready for this?" Mason asked his friends.
"Right behind ya, dude." said Luna.
"Time for a little payback." Sam readied her lightning.
"This punk is going down." Jesse cracked his knuckles to show enthusiasm in fighting these thugs once and for all.
"It's time we put Les Loups Enrages out of commission, and wipe zem off ze face of France." Sabre said.
"Arno must answer for his crimes." Adewale remarked.
"These thugs will face retribution soon enough." Paton cooked his pistols.
"France will never be threatened by then again." Leclerk cocked his gun after.
Chevalier looked at Mason, and said to the fire teen hero: "I'm sure your dad will be fine, Mason."
"I really hope so. but now we got bigger problems to worry about right now. I know what my uncle did was unforgiving, but... he's still my uncle."
Luna gave him a really sympathetic look and put a hand on his shoulder. "I know you don't wanna... end him, brah, but I don't think we have a choice.
"you've seen what he's capable of" Sam added. "It's all or nothing now. France is counting on us. All of us."
"It'll be just like the American Revolution and World War 2 again." Jessie added. "They saved us, we saved them, and we gotta remind France how important the friendship between them and America is. All we gotta do is best those guys and try to make it out of there alive. If we don't, my mama's probably gonna kill my dad. I'd probably be grounded for life, even after death."
"What Jesse means is that: We will not rest until we take down Arno and his partisans, Mason."
"Got that right dude." said Luna. "Vive la France!"
"Vice la France!" everyone repeated after her. All of them quietly, and sneakily went over to the large, abandoned warehouse, and there were two guards standing in front of the door, making sure nobody on the outside gets inside the building under any circumstances. Luckily, it was only two guys at the front door, so Luna casually walked up to them, and the men instantly held their guns at her, but Luna was rather unfazed by them, and had a sly smile.
She walked around slowly and said: "Easy boys, I don't want any trouble, I just want- freeze!" she quickly held her hands up and aimed at the two guards. Before these men could fire a single bullet, beams of ice spewed out from Luna's hands, freezing them instantly. "Heh. Actually, you just stand still, and I will do the freezing, brah."
The other heroes and GIGN came out of hiding to look at the front door. There was no doubt that Arno and the rest of his men would be in there. They could be in there waiting for all the heroes to come barging in right now. Perhaps they need to give them all the elements of surprise. With a warehouse this big, there were surely more entrances than this one. Even with the five toughest members of the GIGN on their side, it would be crazy and certifiable to just kick in the front door of this place. "We don't know who or what's on the other side of this door." said Mason
"Good point," Luna agreed. "Maybe... we can use a distraction?"
"What kind of distraction can we use?" asked Mason. "My uncle probably knows we're coming to get him as it is. For all we know, we can be outnumbered by around a hundred of these soldiers."
"No argument there." said Sam. "But we need to get in there somehow, and stop whatever he is planning."
They were thinking of how to get in there unseen and draw so much attention. Quietly and in a stealthy manner, the group looked for any entrance that can be used without alerting any of the guards. Jessie got an idea and remembered seeing some superheroes and spy movies about how the protagonist would sometimes go inside form above, like through an air vent or from breaking the ceiling above the interior. "Hey," said Jesse, noticing a large air vent on the wall, close to the ceiling. "Maybe we can use that to sneak in there and find out what Arno's planning."
"Ooh, good idea, Jesse." said Mason. He and Sam flew up to the air vent, and Mason burnt the vent off by using his hands to melt it, and turn it into a small puddle of magma. The others below had to stay clear so they wouldn't get burnt, then Luna created an ice slide to get to her friends' level, then Jesse lifted a piece of cement below him to hover him to the group. For the five troops, they used grappling guns to hook themselves to the air vent, and crawl their way inside. Peeking below at a few blinds every once in a while, there were guards, and some of the toughest men guarding the whole warehouse with guns in their hands. There were so many of them patrolling and making sure no intruder would try to break in (or so they thought). At last, they all stopped when they saw Arno putting on some kind of wolf mask over his face with the color of black and having a trenchcoat and some kind of bodysuit under it, along with claws at the end of his shoes.
"It's him." Luna whispered
"Je sais." Mason whispered back to her.
Down below the vent, many guards gathered around the pedestal and listened to what he had to say. "Mes amis!" he called out, "Today, ze time has finally come to reform France and be rid of zat Macron once and for all!"
His guards in front of him cheered and also heckled Macron's name.
"Tonight, I have set up a bomb in Palais d'Elysee, and with a push of that button, his quarters will get blown up sky high, and Macron will finally be dead. As soon as he is dealt away with, I will assume power, and bring France to it's former glory! No one will stand in our way, and we will rise anew in a stronger position. No more wars, and no more protests." another roar of cheering was heard and Arno continued: "Not only the palais, but I have also placed a dozen other bombs from different buttons as we speak. Ze French parliament will crumble too, along with homes of other government officials into oblivion, and ze corruption will be gone for good."
"When will we detonate zem, boss?" asked a soldier below
"In due time, Roux. All in due time. Some things require patience. First thing's first. My nephew and his meddlesome friends are still at large and they should be here soon. It will not long before they track us here. We have to prepare ourselves for when they arrive."
"It's a good thing that ze Steel Soldier isn't with them right now." Chacal admitted. "From what I have heard, he is a living tank with zat cybernetic body of his."
"Oui, I agree, mon ami." said Arno. "Ah, who are we kidding. Even if he was here, he would probably be no match for the number of soldiers I have now. If any one of those heroes try to stop everything we have ever worked for, they will have to go through us first. Besides, It's a good thing I shot my brother. He and that big brain of his would have ruined everything."
A sudden anger risen up in Mason just hearing that.
"He was always one to hog all the attention and my parents always loved him best because of his intellect." Arno continued ranting on Sebastien. "It would always be like Oh Sebastien, you're such a little genius! And We are so lucky to have you as a son in the family! Bah! That Sebastien always took all the attention from me. Yet, we could have worked well together if he saw the truth in the politicians of France. Who am I kidding? He refused. And it will only be a matter of time before that wound kills him."
Mason's anger grew bigger inside of him. "Hey, Mason, calm down." Luna tried to make him relax.
"Don't try anything stupid." said Jesse
"Don't blow our cover." Sam added
"Well don't try to stop me, guys." Mason seethed as he was getting more and more infuriated.
"My brother can die along with Macron." at last, Mason could stand it no longer when he heard those words. Growling, he bursted through the vent and roared in rage as he was blasting away many Les Loups Enrages soldiers.

"Man, so much for the element of surprise." Luna admitted before storming down there to freeze many guards with her beams and crushing many soldiers with spiky ice balls as if they were boulders. Sam flew after, unleashing a literal storm at her enemies, then Jessie jumped form the vents and launched beams of light from his heads. The GIGN troops found cover behind a bunch of large crates as soon as they landed, and open fired at any goons that were making the five men take fire. Not only were the GIGN troops giving fire, they were also giving some. Despite putting up a valiant effort in taking down many of these radical partisans, there were more of them than they anticipated. Chacal was fighting with Luna himself, and he was clearly one of the strongest fighters that Luna ever face, hence why Arno made him his second in command.
Despite shooting countless partisans, the GIGN team were still pinned down.
The right hand man pulled out a sword, and was more than ready to slash at Luna, but Luna fought fire with fire and created an ice sword from her hands to even the odds, and it was an epic sword battle. When it looked like Chacal's guard was down, Luna would try to punch and kick him, but every time she landed a blow at his body with her fists or feet, the brute seemed unfazed as if he was very used to the pain, and tackled Luna to the ground like a football player.
Luna felt pinned to the ground by this man, and her arms were held by Chacal's own arms. He punched her in the face many times with beefy fists, and it was really painful as if a bowling ball was hitting her countless and countless times. Despite how painful it was, Luna laid her hand on his chest, and used her powers to give him frostbite, making him grunt in pain. She can tell that it was stinging him as if liquid nitrogen splashed on it, and it made the brute get off of her.
"Nice trick, hero." Chacal said.
"Mess with the snow leopard, you get the teeth." Luna said, and saw Chacal charging at her like an angry bison. Apparently, this man didn't think this through enough, considering how angry he looked, and Luna froze the floor so that he would slip and slide over a pile of barrels.
As a matter of fact, Luna did the same to a bunch of other Les Loups Enrages that didn't have any ranged weapons, which was rather comical to see. "Nice one, Luna."
"Thanks, Sam."
"And I thought Luan was the funny one." Jesse admitted. He felt a few punches from a goon and retaliated by giving him painful uppercuts to the face, and throwing a large rock at his stomach, knocking him unconscious before creating rock knuckles on his hands, and pummeling many of these radical partisans.
For Sam, she was dodging many punches and kicks from any enemies that either didn't have guns, or ran out of bullets for them. Left and right, she was zapping and shocking oncoming enemies with pure electricity, and she even knocked out a baddy by clasping his head with her hands, and coursing electricity from her to him. While it looked like she may have killed him, it just stunned him as if he was tased by a cop.
Mason seemed to be the one the most furious out of the heroes. He was fighting so ferociously and angrily that he didn't even care how big or scary some of these soldiers were. He kept on blasting his opponents with blasts of fire, and he was looking for his traitorous uncle that he called: "Traitre (traitor)." Mason was not about to let him get away again, or let any one of his followers get in the way of that. By the looks of him and how aggressively he was fighting, Color Fire was certainly on a revenge quest this time. "Where are you, Arno!?" he shouted after giving a bad guy an uppercut kick to the face. Arno heard the sound of his voice, and he wanted to run as far away from his angry nephew as possible.
He knew what might happen to him, and didn't want to be burnt into a crisp.
"Come out and face me, you coward!" Mason called out
If there was one thing Arno hated, it was being called a coward, and it made him angry. He rushed into battle, and faced his nephew, looking ready to fight. "That's no way to talk to a family member, mason." he said
"Tu vas payer pour ca!" Mason shouted before charging at him with fury. What Mason failed to realize was that Arno was an adept combatant and jumped out of the way, and landed right from behind him to try and knock him out with a fist. Mason saw him coming however, and ducked before sweeping his legs. It looked like Arno was about to fall flat on his tummy, but he recovered quickly than his own nephew anticipated, and landed on one knee.
"Not bad, Mason." he panted. "I should have seen zat coming."
"Too bad you won't see this coming," Mason said before punching him so hard many times.
Arno dodged one punch and kicked Mason in the face (under his foot, not where the shoes claws are), making his nose bleed. He kicked him in the stomach next, about three times before Mason head-butted him, and tried to stomp on his face, but Arno pulled out a sword and tried to slash at him. Luckily, Mason had his sword and they both began fighting one another in a sword duel. "En garde!" Mason exclaimed
"Oh mon dieu!" Arno shouted before they continued their fight.
Mason sliced at his left leg, and it looked like he was hurt. Still pretty angry for almost killing his dad, Mason was about to slice and dice him after all he had done, but his uncle stopped him by shouting and pleading to him.
"Mason, Mason s'il vous plait (please!) Have mercy on me! I'm your uncle!"
"After all you've done, you expect me to let you go?" Mason said. "You are a very dangerous man, and you've killed many innocent people!"
"I'm doing what I have to do to save France!" Arno continued pleading some more. "Mason... I'm your uncle, and we're family. This is not how a family should be."
It was then Mason slowly began to lower his guard, and Arno removed his mask to reveal his face.
"Nephew, is this what you want? You would never really kill your own uncle, would you?" he had a sad look on his face, and Mason realized that he let his anger get the best of him, and lowered his sword down even more. "Please nephew, I'm begging you to let me live."
At last, Mason let his guard down fully, and Arno gave a devious smile
"Psyche!" he shouted before shooting a taser at him, rendering him unconscious.
"Mason!" Luna shouted as she was caught off-guard and stunned by a taser. Sam noticed and she was clobbered so hard in her head by the rear-end of a gun that she was stunned. Jessie tried to help but he was tased as well. Sabre and his team noticed this and were shocked. There were still too many Les Loups Enrages in this building and the chances of them winning were getting slimmer and slimmer. A dozen Les Loups Enrages, probably about to fifty surrounded them and the five GIGN troops can see they were outnumbered, knowing they couldn't win.
"Drop your weapons, soldier boys." said Chacal, holding up a desert eagle in his hand.
At last, the men had no choice, but to surrender and drop their weapons. It looked like hope was lost, but outside the warehouse, a certain boy looked at the place, and he was dressed as Ace Savvy. "Don't worry guys," he said to himself, I'm coming." Lincoln pulled out a grappling hook and aimed at an open window to see what was going on without being spotted by Arno and his men. Below the catwalk, he saw Luna, and the guys tied up in ropes and on their knees.
"I never thought it would come to this," said Arno. "But I cannot have you get in the way of my plans."
"Oh no." Lincoln said in shock. All the guards were gathered around their boss and the heroes.
"With the press of zis button, I will eliminate Macron once and for all! I would tell you the rest of my plan, but I take it you already heard everything."
"Unfortunately, yeah." said Luna
"I gotta go warn the president." Lincoln said before running quietly on the catwalk to go get help from the president. But he bumped into something and fell on his bottom.
"Ah, going somewhere, garcon?" it was big, scary Chacal before picking up Lincoln by his arms. "It was not very wise of you to come here, American.
He dragged Lincoln downstairs and the boy ended up being bond to rope too.
