By the time we made it to the room where Asuka and Darnell had escaped. Instead, several guards took their stands, handguns steady and ready. Siberian and I froze at our positions. From the corner of my eye, one of the guards reckless approached us a little too quick.

I took this as an advantage. Inverting my sword to the back-handed style, I raised my arm, the tip of the katana driving through the lower jaw and up. I ducked at the same time, avoiding the head-level bullets. The other assassin did the same, diving with a downward motion and slicing flesh from naval to nape.

In less than five minutes, about ten corpses law in their new ground.

Pressing my earpiece close to my ear, I call out for the other two.

"Bombay, Balinese. The targets have escaped. Can you track them?"

"Yes. Their signal is just ahead a few rooms-" The voice was cut off with a loud gun shot.

"Bombay! Report your situation now!" Siberian beside me yelled.

A panting voice replied: "Balinese got shot in the shoulder! We're getting chased by guards!"

I heard the claw-wielder curse. I did the same silently.

"Can you direct them to somewhere we can meet?"

"The roof's our best bet!"

"Head there then", I ordered and turned, heading out the door, the other assassin just behind me

Coincidentally or plainly just by chance, when we two reached the highest peak, we were faced with a helicopter and two people fleeing. The problem now was how to get the targets. Neither Ken nor my weapon are far-ranged. We refrained from using guns to leave any traces of our coming. I growled at the thought of losing the targets.

Just then, a familiar whishing noise went past and then Asuka, who was in midst of climbing into the copter, fell from the entrance. I looked over at my shoulder to see two blondes panting heavily, Balinese's arm over Bombay's shoulder.

Siberian took no time and ran to the people behind, fury marking his face as he sent more souls to Hell.

Apparently, Darnell took the chance to take flight, the big machine started to rise.

"Bombay! Use the wire to hold it down!" I yelled through the roaring of winds.

Catching what I said, the youngest removed the wrist band of metallic wire and attached it to his crossbow and released the trigger. The arrow pierced through the metal base of the helicopter, making a stable anchor.

However, the combat was between a small guy and heavy metal. Bombay called out for help. I ran over, twisting the wire around my wrist and pulled as hard as I could. The wire bit into my flesh, but thankfully, it was not meant to cut. Nevertheless, it still hurt.

The tug-o-war didn't last very long. The helicopter gave a sudden pull, sending the both of us sprawling on the ground. As it continued its path of retreat, I totally forgot about the wire around my arm when I started dragging on the ground.

"Abyssinian!" The young blond yelled, and I must say, stupidly ran after.

I struggled to keep the katana in hand as the wire applied even more pressure. I could feel my hand turn cold. I glanced up above and saw Darnell holding a small dagger and placing it on the wire.

I was hoping he's cut it quick, but then again, he was looking ahead of me: the edge.

Most obviously, he intended to cut when I was off the building. That was a scary thought.

Just a few more meters-

Someone dashed right past, and a hiss of metal struck the wire. The youngest blond had successful cut the wire, but it didn't prevent me from stopping. Instead, I crashed into the blond, causing us to plunge down from the building.

OMG i disappeared sorry. Finally got down yays.. catch ya later.. sorry lazy to reply reviews XD
