Toxin, still filled with rage and agony over her husband's ignorance and selfishness, has packed most of her equipment, usually the same equipment she uses to make her "special" medicine. Cracked vials and spilled medicinal liquids fill the room, caused by her sudden tantrum, she then grabs a 1911 and two mags and holstered them for protection. She grabs a jerry can she secretly stole and began dousing her lab in gasoline, after that she pulls out her husband's lighter, sparks it to create a small waving flame, and tosses it to a gasoline puddle, lighting every single corner on fire
Toxin: Good luck on your "mission", rat
Toxin grabs her stuff and heads out before the entire place could fall apart. She gets on a 4x4 jeep and drives off. Flames spewing from the building can be seen from a far distance at this point
Toxin: Chic, oh I hope you're okay
Toxin's first goal is to find Chic, whether she's in EGO or Russian hands, it is a must that Chic must be located and kept away from Chaos Agent. While driving through a small road, shrouded in darkness, a dark figure appeared in the road, standing ominously. Toxin sees the figure, and fears that it might be either Chaos Agent or an ALTER agent sent to find her, decided to reach for her pistol. But before her hand could touch the pistol grip, a truck rammed her car by the side, flipping it over and destroying what is inside. Toxin, however, survived the crash and attempted to crawl out of the wreckage, she manages to escape however two soldiers picked her up and Toxin was too weak to fight back, unable to reach for her gun
Col. Sudorov: Clever girl
Toxin: You...
Col. Sudorov: You tried to run away from your husband? Shame, he was a good guy
Toxin spat on Sudorov's face
Col. Sudorov: *chuckles* Women
A Russian soldier finds some of Toxin's equipment in the wreckage. One of which are a set of syringes with fresh "medicine" on it and are handed over his superior
Col. Sudorov: Hmm... Is this one of your "medicinal serum" *chuckles*
Toxin: Just wait till that same syringe goes down to your throat
Col. Sudorov: Hey, hey, chill. We are on the same page here, da?
Toxin: That's only between you and Chaos Agent
Col. Sudorov: *sigh* You know, I'm getting bored already, so let's cut through the bullshit shall we?
Col. Sudorov stabbed Toxin in the neck with the syringe, and injects the serum
Col. Sudorov: You better hope that's not poison, madam Toxin
Toxin: Damn you, damn all... of... you... Chic...
Toxin's body became numb from the serum and puts her in an unconscious state as well
Russian Soldier: *in Russian* Where do we keep her sir?
Col. Sudorov: *in Russian* There's an old facility in the mountains. Use it as a prison and make sure to keep any ALTER agents away from the place, for now
Russian Soldier: *in Russian* Yes sir
While the Russians carry Toxin to bring her to captivity, Col. Sudorov makes a phone call to one of his old buddies
Col. Sudorov: Hey
Unknown Man: Da, who is this?
Col. Sudorov: It's me, Anton. Listen, how's the situation handling in your place?
Unknown Man: Harsh. There's these bush things, they're like walking trees or whatever, and they speak some sort of language. I don't know, it's hard to explain
Col. Sudorov: And?
Unknown Man: No worries, we burned down their village anyway, that should send them the message
Col. Sudorov: Very well, I need more men here, it looks like the plan is going to shape
Unknown Man: Again? Not trying to be rude here, but-
Col. Sudorov: 250 soldiers, that's it
Unknown Man: *sigh* Fine, but they'll be arriving next Tuesday
Col. Sudorov: Thank you, now I must go, I have more things to settle here. Goodbye
Phone call ends

While Pvt. Sokolov goes out to get himself something to eat, he overhears Journey and 8-Ball having a conversation, it looked like they were having some sort of argument. These two had a strong bond together, both in combat and home, so something unusual is happening between them and Pvt. Sokolov looks calm both sides down
Journey: You mean you're leaving?
8-Ball: I fell I must, what master Hybrid taught me, taught us, must be followed, step by step
Journey: But what about ALTER? What if they tried to hunt you down
8-Ball: It's okay, I'll be fine, it is best if you worry about yourself, love
Pvt. Sokolov: I'm sorry but what are you two arguing about?
8-Ball: I have to leave because there is a path that my master has told me to take. I will be back, but I am uncertain when will I come
Journey: 8-Ball, you'll be a walking target out there, I can't afford losing you
8-Ball: Igor, please watch Journey for me
Pvt. Sokolov: I will
Journey grabbed 8-Ball's arm and held on to it firmly
Journey: Please, I can come with you, if you're gonna go down fighting, might as well go down together
Pvt. Sokolov: Uhh, hello?
8-Ball looked at Journey's ocean eyes and after a brief second of inner thoughts, he finally lets go of himself
8-Ball: *sigh*... Okay, we'll go, together
Journey: Thank you
Journey then hugged 8-Ball and kissed him in the cheek
8-Ball: Well, looks like it will be the two of us leaving
Pvt. Sokolov: So, I guess that's clingy girls that they're talking about?
Journey: Huh?
Pvt. Sokolov: Umm, I meant... never mind
Journey: So... where do we start?
8-Ball: We start now, let's go pack our gear, this will be a long trip
Journey: Got it
Pvt. Sokolov: You two have fun now, and watch yourself, I won't be there to save you
8-Ball: We can handle ourselves, thank you for the reminder
8-Ball and Journey leaves to pack their gear and head out to the unknown. Pvt. Sokolov watches the two leave together
Pvt. Sokolov: An unbreakable bond, good for them

Chaos Agent is reading some articles in his newspaper in his lavish office while drinking his 6th bottle of beer. A call interrupts his session, in which the intoxicated leader answered and a video call between him and Col. Sudorov has been established
Col. Sudorov: Mr. Chaos Agent
Chaos Agent: Ah yes, Sudorov, my friend how is it hanging?
Col. Sudorov: Wonderful, you?
Chaos Agent: Oh, not very good
Col. Sudorov: Why the sadness?
Chaos Agent: Toxin, she... she left. I guess she wasn't into the bandwagon after all
Col. Sudorov: Hey, it's women, that tends to happen commonly, am I right da?
Chaos Agent: Well, I suppose
Col. Sudorov: So she's no longer part of the plan?
Chaos Agent: Certainly, she even burned her own lab down. I tried to salvage what was left there and I guess I found something decent like schematics and chemical ingredients lists
Col. Sudorov: That is only a minor setback, do not let it linger through your mind. Only focus on what must be completed
Chaos Agent: Unless you're my grandfather, I'm doing everything with much of my effort
Col. Sudorov: Good, my men have already gathered enough gas to pollute the entire island, and once the dust has been cleared, you and I will be the last men standing
Chaos Agent: Yeah, yeah, I'll be making some major progress soon
Col. Sudorov: Well then, good luck to the two of us
Chaos Agent: *sigh* Progress, setbacks, Toxin, what am I even kidding *drinks beer*
Chaos Agent tried to drink more but his bottle ran out of the good stuff, and that was his last
Chaos Agent: Great, even the beer is telling me what am I doing? Oh well, sleep it is then
Chaos Agent lifts himself off of his chair and heads to his bedroom, even tripping himself and fell flat to the ground, but he manages to get up and overcome his drunken body
