It was 11:00 before midnight when they arrived. The night was cold and the chilly air cut through their skin like blades of ice. The building that stood before them was black and sinister, and seemed to radiate evil. As it stood, tall and mighty, before them, it resembled some sort of bloodthirsty creature which would bear down on them at any moment.

"What a terrible place," Tsukino voiced her thoughts aloud and clutched her black polo.

"Typical of Balkov," Sergei remarked: "Now then, we'll all go in together. Tsukino, if anyone tries to hurt you, don't hesitate to give them a good beating."

"A good beating? I'll crush the life out of their miserable bodies for keeping Kai locked up in here!" said Tsukino, punching her fist into her open palm.

"Good! Now let's get 'em!" said Sergei, and together, the three of them and the police burst into the building, prepared to face the worst.

"Sir! We have intruders!" Boris's men rushed towards him as the alarm shone blood red and rang out with shrill screams.

"Let me see," said Boris, advancing towards the monitor.

On the screen were several police officers, already locked in combat with Boris's men. There were also a couple of men dressed in black suits, probably the spy, Kasumi's bosses.

And amongst them, was a young teenage girl of about Kai's age.

"That girl must be Tsukino, Kai's precious girlfriend. Hehehehe, this is going to be fun," said Boris slyly, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Mr. Ludovico! I'm going to find Kai!" Tsukino shouted amidst the noise.

"Wait! I'll come with you! Sergei has gone to find Kasumi," said Ludovico. The two of them ran up the corridor, until suddenly, a wall descended between them, separating them from eachother.

"Tsukino!" Ludovico shouted: "Be careful! We'll find a way to you!"

"O-okay!" Tsukino yelled back, and wasting no time, tore up the corridor, desperate to get to Kai.

At the end of the corridor was a large circular room, illuminated by a dull red light from the alarm system. Tsukino entered it rather nervously, and looked around her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps, the clicking of heels echoing off the walls. It was suddenly so silent that she felt afraid. Who the heck was coming? Was it Mitsuhide? Or that Balkov guy? Whoever it was, she knew it wasn't someone on her side.

From the opposite doorway, the figure of a man appeared, and when he stepped inside the room she could see him. He had purple hair and ice-cold eyes. He wore black clothes beneath a dull green trench-coat and long black boots. But what really made her heart stop beating and her skin pale, was the sight of Kai in his clutches.
