"YOU! I finally found you!"

The man who betrayed Ellie was finally standing before her. Nobody was gonna come between her and her revenge.

"Go, go! I'll hold her off!" RHM yelled at Henry and Reg to leave immediately, which they did without question. Ellie growled at her target getting away. "You're not stopping me, whoever you are." She taunted the man with the red mustache.

"You're right. I won't do that." RHM suddenly sounded so accommodating when he said that. Ellie raised an eyebrow, but didn't let down her guard. "What game are you play?" She questioned him.

"I'll cut to the chase. You're here to kill the Toppat leader, aren't you?"

"Yes...Just spit it! What are you getting at?"

"Under normal circumstances, I would vaporize you for having that goal but you're in luck today. The events that led up to Henry becoming the leader left some of us bitter. And if something were to happen to him now, Reg, the guy you just saw with Henry, will become the leader again."

Ellie immediately understood the implications, but she wasn't budging just yet. "How do I know this is not a trap?"

RHM gave her a smirk. "I'm loyal to the Toppats forever, and look at me, I can vaporize you this second if I wanted. If I was really out to protect Henry, I would've done so now. But to add to that, I'll speak to all men onboard and order them not to fire at you on sight. M'kay?" RHM pulled out his walkie talkie while keeping a pointed look at Ellie. "Men, listen to me carefully, if you see a redheaded gal running through the airship, do not fire. I repeat, do NOT fire. She's...a friend." Then he put it away. "That good enough for ya yet?" RHM continued to smile deviously.

Ellie still looked skeptical. She wanted to give him a threat if it was really a trap, but she kept quiet. It's a good thing she had a gun on her to make her feel slightly more confident about her chances. "Okay, but one word into my earpiece and your clan will be history."

RHM watched as the redhead quickly left the room. He then smirked and got his walkie talkie again. "Hey Reg, I have news I think you'll like..."

Elsewhere in the airship, Henry was running away from his pursuer. How on earth was she able to find him? How did she escape The Wall that quick? And most importantly, why weren't there any Toppats backing him up in this dire situation?

Speaking of which, the Toppat leader noticed that Ellie just caught up to him and boy, did she look pissed. This is gonna suck...

Should he just submit to her? Accept his fate? No no, that has never helped him before. Giving up was never the right option in his adventures. He just had to find a way to safely get off the airship for now, then he can figure out a plan later. Henry finally made it to the cargo bay. There should be something heavyset enough to withstand a fall from this height. Ah, the tank in a box. Of course. Henry knew that would be useful one day.

But before he can actually reach it and execute his escape plan, he was tackled. "Where do you think you're going?!" Ellie managed to catch him at the last second, pointing her gun at him. "You're not the only one going down in that tank."

Just then, Henry got an idea. He put on a disheartened face and told the girl that since she was able to beat him, he can make her the new leader of the Toppat clan in exchange for his life. Ellie was taken back by the offer. "I...You..I didn't...I didn't go through all of this to capture you just so you can escape wrath using your position! Get in the tank. Now."

Then the two boarded the tank. Ellie pressed her earpiece and reported mission accomplished to someone on the other side, then they drove off the airship. Once it landed, Ellie got Henry out of it and she followed.

"Wow. You did job well. Now hand over inmate."

The two turned to see Grigori behind them. Henry got a bitter taste in his mouth from seeing him again. So that's how Ellie did it. Funny to think the government had him do a similar mission back then on the Toppats, but it turned into his chance to become the leader.

"Actually, the plan has changed." Ellie started. Both Grigori and Henry were confused by what she meant. Ellie answered by aiming the gun at Grigori while simultaneously ordering Henry not to move. "What you think you doing?" Grigori stared Ellie down.

"You probably didn't notice it, but I didn't tell your boss that you were the one who allowed this snake to escape. I bet he's not gonna be too happy with you after knowing that."

Grigori stepped back in shock. "You would not."

Ellie chuckled devilishly. "I would. Shame that I have to take you out now. Goodbye." She didn't spare another second before firing a few times at the warden's right hand till he fell down. Henry looked horrified at what just transpired before him. That could very well be his fate.

She doesn't look so harmless anymore...

"Now you. Get back in there and drive us somewhere quiet." She ordered, and Henry followed without objection. This drive was gonna be very tense.

Later...

"S-sir..She tricked us...Got away with Henry..."

"I'm on my way right now! Hold on!"

"No use, sir...I will not make it..." Then silence.

"Are you still there?! Answer me! Dammit...She'll pay for that! I swear it!"
