Raphael parks the van back at the League of Angels base. He jumps out and moves around to the sliding door, opening it.
"Let's go ladies." He says politely and all of the girls file out of the van, Raphael and two other assassins, a male and a female handcuffing each of them as they walk back inside. Chloe being last out of the van, her head dropped and her heart heavy. She had lost the love of her life. Beca's lifeless body stuck in her mind. Raphael puts the last set of handcuffs on Chloe's wrists and she follows the rest of the Bellas into the base. The female assassin walking next to Stacie at the front of the group, Raphael walking next to Jessica in the middle and the male assassin walking next to Chloe at the back as they make their way down the hallways.
"My name is Gabriel. I'm sorry about Azrael. I grew up with her, she was like a sister to me, a great warrior. Her loss pains me as well as the others in hierarchy. I took no pleasure in what Raphael did but he was following orders. I can feel your heartbreak, I know you loved her." Gabriel whispers to Chloe with sorrow. He had spoken true, him and Beca had grown up together, trained together and advanced to hierarchy together along with Raphael.
"Her name was Beca." Chloe growls back and Gabriel drops his head, feeling Chloe's despair deepen in the pit of her stomach at the mention of his fallen sister's name.
"Beca Mitchell, 20 years old. Daughter of Sophia and John Mitchell. Older sister of Hailee Mitchell. Her whole family died in one night, she lost everything. Uriel found her in the hospital and brought her here." Gabriel lists off, pointing to the female assassin at the front next to Stacie and Chloe turns to look at her, she was older then Gabriel, Raphael and Beca
"As I said, we grew up and trained together. We got to know each other and our past lives too. My real name is Cole Daniels, I'm 21, today actually. My mother left when I was 2 years old and my father beat me. When I was 10, he lost it and almost killed me, Michael took me in." He confesses and Chloe takes in the new information.
"Why are you telling me this now?" Chloe asks and Gabriel wonders for himself.
"Because you and your friends will be dying soon also I guess I owed it to Beca." Gabriel replies honestly and Chloe is actually slightly happier because then at least she'll be with Beca.
"Thankyou Cole, I mean Gabriel." Chloe adds and the male assassin looks to Chloe.
"Cole is fine and don't worry, death is not the end. Beca is in a better place now and you will see her again soon. I wish you all the happiness with her in your next life Chloe Beale." He says with a small smile and Chloe returns the small smile with one of her own, thinking about the possible idea of her and Beca being together again in another life but until then, she had to deal with pain in her chest from losing her.
The assassin's lead the Bellas into the main hall where there are eight chains on the far wall. The assassins moves the girls over to the wall and chain them up. Chloe looks around as around four dozen assassins stand in the room. Chloe remembers that Beca had said there were 57 other assassins in the League of Angels and she already killed 8 of them trying to get the Bellas out so that left 49. She starts to count all of the assassins in the room and comes to 48 on the dot. The hierarchy stand at the front, facing toward the rest of the League's assassins, Chloe going over their names in her head, trying to remember them as Beca said them. Raphael. Gabriel. Uriel. But no Michael. Chloe works out that Michael is number 49 which meant all of the assassins of the League of Angels were in attendance for the execution of the Bellas.
"No Michael. So where is he?" Chloe asks herself and as she speaks Raphael stands up and silences the crowd. The doors fly open and in walks who Chloe was guessing was Michael. He looked in his late thirties with raven black hair styled in a wavy surfer look, not passing his jaw. His eyes were bright hazel and from a distance, they almost looked golden, he was muscular and built his 6 foot stature up well. Chloe could see the silver angel wings ring on his finger and knew then that this was definitely Michael.
"Assassins! Tonight we form together to watch as these eight girls of the Barden University Bellas Acapella group are executed for the crime of knowing our secret as told by newly Rogue assassin Azrael whom was supposed to succeed my rule. This betrayal has scarred me and these 8 girls will not mend the scar but allow it to fade. Azrael was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash created by Raphael, my new successor. His bravery and honour served me proudly in ensuring Azrael was killed for her crimes of treachery. Now it is time." Michael announces and all the Bellas start to panic, Chloe however was peaceful, knowing she would be joining Beca soon.
Beca makes it to the back door that she escaped from with the Bellas. She opens the door and slides inside, moving straight into the room that she left Ezekiel in, she opens it to find that he is still in there, the other assassins hadn't found him yet. Beca strips all of the weapons he has and places them on her person, some in open places and some in secret areas that she invented in her suit. A throwing knife in a secret pocket in each sleeve. She looks up as she hears the drums starting, the execution was beginning and Beca knew she wasn't ready to fight with her injuries. She tries to take a deep breath in but her broken ribs don't let her.
"Shit. How am I going to do this?" She asks herself as she leaves the room and heads in the direction of the drums, trying to work out a plan as she went but the only plan that made sense to her and would probably allow her to live is to challenge Michael. The only problem however would be that Michael would use her injuries to his advantage and more than likely kill her.
"Wait. Wait." Beca stops walking and leans against the wall. She remembers that for executions, all assassins were required to wear to whole dress including her mash and hood. No one would know it was her.
"Distraction and then get them out while they are distracted. Get them to the van and they won't be able to follow. Smoke Bomb." She whispers as she heads toward the main hall, aiming to hit the armoury beforehand to grab her distraction.
Chloe watches as Raphael sharpens his sword, she looks to her right and left, noticing all the Bellas are trembling with fear, the redhead physically seeing Stacie's and Aubrey's hands shaking.
"Aubrey. Aubrey! Look at me. We are going to be okay. Look at me!" Chloe calls out and the blonde turns her head, her jade green eyes connecting with Chloe's cerulean blue.
"We are going to be okay. I promise you." Chloe reassures with honest eyes but Aubrey looks up to the ceiling, still shaking in fear. She hoped that her best friend was right but she knew that the Bellas chance of getting out of this situation died in the van they crashed in.
"It is time Raphael. Begin the executions." Michael announces and Raphael nods, standing up and moving over to the girl on the far left of the wall, that girl being Stacie. He holds up his sword, the blade slightly bigger than Beca's with similar yet very different markings. Raphael's sword presses against Stacie's chest. He starts to press it further, the tip of the blade piercing Stacie's chest. Stacie lets out a small whine as the cut of the blade gets deeper. Raphael turns back to Michael and the leader nods before Raphael turns back to Stacie. He takes in a deep breath and as he goes to push the blade through Stacie's chest, a loud bang is heard outside the room.
"Amon, Caim go check it out." Michael orders and the two assassins head out the room only for one to come back in a minute later with a knife in their back.
"Rogues." The assassin says before collapsing. Gabriel runs over and checks the assassin before turning to Michael and shaking his head. Michael's face turns dark.
"I want every assassin out searching for these Rogues now! When this place is secure, the girls will die. Zachariel, take the girls back to the cells." Michael yells out before leaving with Uriel and Raphael. All of the assassins leave out the different doors of the main hall. The girls could hear yelling and a couple more bangs before the noise disappeared. Zachariel makes his way over to the girls and starts unchaining them. As he did, the assassin on the door jumps up, inhaling deeply and holding their ribs. Zachariel turns around and runs to help the assassin only to have them stab him in the neck. As Zachariel falls to the ground where the assassin was laying before, they run over to the girls and continue taking the chains off, all the girls watch confused until they take their mask off and it's Beca.
"Beca!" They all say in unison. Beca smirks and her eyes meet Chloe's. She continues unchaining all the girls, checking on Stacie's injuries also before she is finally in front of Chloe.
"I thought you were-." Chloe starts to say but is cut off when Beca surges forward and kisses Chloe deeply. All the Bellas share their admiration of the couple as Beca undoes Chloe's chains, her lips still connected to the redheads. They finally pull apart.
"I thought you were dead." Chloe finally stutters out, wrapping her arms around the assassin.
"You brought me back." Beca replies as she hugs Chloe before pulling away and looks to the Bellas.
"Let's get you guys out of here." She says and all the girls nod along. Beca moves over to Zachariel and stabs a knife into his back. She reaches around and grabs the fake blade out of her back and puts it back in her holster.
"Okay lets go, same line as you were on the wall, I'm going to walk you guys right out of here." Beca smiles as she puts her mask back on and pulls her sword out. She hands Chloe and Fat Amy a throwing knife and shows them how to hide them up their sleeves.
"Remember they split in half, just press and slide." Beca reiterates and the two girls nod. Beca opens the door and the girls start to file out, Beca standing alongside the girl in the middle who is Jessica. She watches as a couples of assassins run around trying to find the rogues that she told Michael would be around. She then watches as Gabriel runs past too and she feels bad about what she had to do next.
The girls all make it outside and get into the van but Beca doesn't follow them.
"Becs, come on, we need to go." Stacie says and Beca shakes her head, gazing to Chloe.
"I have to finish this and make sure no one follows you." Beca replies and Chloe's eyes fill with tears so do the rest of the Bellas. She walks into the bus and kneels down next to Chloe, taking her hands into her own. She knows what to say but Chloe won't understand so she looks around and finds a pen and paper, writing something down on it, folding it in half and handing it to Chloe.
"Don't open it until you are away from here and safe." Beca says before turning to leave when Chloe stops her.
"Wait, your friend Alek, you told me to tell him I was your taw'am alrruh. What is that?" Chloe asks and Beca smiles. She leans forward and puts her lips to Chloe's before pulling away.
"It means soulmate." Beca answers before jumping out of the van and sliding the door shut. She bangs on the van twice and Fat Amy takes off. As they leave the base, they find no one is following them so Chloe decides to open Beca's note and read it but finds out that it is all in Arabic. She folds the note back up and puts it in her back pocket. She looks back to where they had come from, the place that Beca still was and the thought bought tears to her eyes.
"Chloe?" She hears someone say.
Chloe looks back in front of her, tears running from her eyes because of the distance forming between her and Beca.
"Amy stop!" She yells out causing all the Bellas to turn around and look at her.
"Chloe, what's going on?" Aubrey asks and Chloe turns to her best friend, Aubrey noticing the streams of tears in her eyes.
"We have to go back, we can't leave her. She'll die in there." Chloe cries and Aubrey moves over next to Chloe.
"Chlo, she decided to stay to give us the chance to get away so we didn't die." Aubrey informs and Chloe's head lowers.
"What about family? Would you leave your family behind?" Chloe says firmly and Aubrey looks away, unable to control her own tears. She knew that Chloe was right, Aubrey never left family behind, the Bellas family or her own. As much as she disliked her father for how he treated her but she would never leave him behind.
"Amy, turn around. We are going to collect the rest of our family. We don't leave family behind." Aubrey orders and Fat Amy hesitates before doing as Aubrey says and turns around, heading back to the League.
