On top of a building, I was viewing the park with one of the Dragon Guns in sniper form while wearing my scouter. Kiana was looking next to me. "Looks like things have changed after what happened when we infiltrated this place. More guards and more patrols." I said. "World Serpent is getting more serious." Said Kiana. "It's too quite here." Said Fu Hua. "But it's not clear either. Always stay on guard when in quiet places. I mean I've played "Call of Duty" for a long time with my brother in the campaign. And most of the levels have been involved with sneaking into enemy territory with getting intel on top secret plans, intel on weapons, the locations of attacks and people and weapons, and data on other things." I explained.

"Rob did say to us how you and him were always having fun together playing first person shooter games together but also with friends too." Said Kiana. "I've also played "Halo" also. There were a few levels in the series involved with sneaking into enemy territory. When sneaking up to enemies, Rob always loved knifing enemies in both those game franchises. But he loved using snipers and shotguns even more. Being here now brings back those memories." "Enough talk, we have to move." Said Drago. "Right." I pushed the button on my scouter and it mapped out where to go. "So we take out the guards and get over there to the right. That's where we're going." I explained. "How do you expect us to get there?" Asked Kiana.

"Batman, Spiderman, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been through this type of environment before. If superheroes who specialize in stealth can do it, then we can do it too. This is like we're Batman, Batgirl, and Deadman." I said. "Wait... which one of us is Deadman? Me? Or Drago?" Asked Fu Hua. "Both of you are Deadman. Since you're both dead and are spirits." I answered. "I suppose that you're right. We are both dead and are spirits." Said Fu Hua. I put the Dragon Gun away then I took out two of my assassination knives modeled after the assassination knives from Halo. Then I gave one to Kiana. "Here, use this. My brother and I always did knifing in "Halo" and "Call of Duty" and I want a second person with a knife to help me. Please?" I begged. "Very well, Patrick-kun." Said Kiana as she took one of the knives. "But only because since you've played first person shooter games for a long time with your brother, I'm going to act like your brother." We leaped down from the building like Batman and began our infiltration.

We took out our first guard by a giant Egyptian statue, then we went up another escalator then we assassinated more guards with the knives. We had to hide the bodies so that we don't get caught. "This really does feel exactly like knifing guards in "Call of Duty" and "Halo."" I said. We then got to the check point. "Something is up ahead." Said Fu Hua. Hidden in the darkness of the night, we felt relieved somehow. We held our breathes and observed. I touched the button on my scouter and scanned the woman in black. I heard what they were saying. In front of a fleet of vans, the women who tricked Rita was giving orders. "It's Raven. "Looks like they've just started." Said Kiana. "Just in time. What a coincidence." Said Fu Hua. "They're leaving. We have no other choices, right?" Asked Kiana. "I'd hate to agree with you, but I'm afraid so. Looks like we're gonna have to do what Batman, Spiderman, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would do. We're gonna have to catch them." I said. We leaped down and started our pursuit.

Lights alongside the highway flashed by like shooting stars. Kiana and I closely followed the convoy in the dark. Later, we jumped and landed softly on top of one of the vans. "Once we get far away from the work, we'll make our move." Said Kiana. "Kiana, be aware of the woman in the clock. She's obviously a master of tricks. Even Rita had fell into her trap." Said Fu Hua. "Her name is Raven. She used that gas that weakened fighters with Honkai energy." I said. "I know. Those Valkyries were also weakened because of the gas they released." Said Kiana. "Gas that took down Immortal Blades... They must have chemicals that can drain Honkai energy from Valkyries. But this kind of chemical weapon has two shortcomings: One, if they also rely on Honkai energy to fight, they'll have to stay far away from the weapon. Two, the gas needs to be released within a hermetic space." Said Fu Hua. "Oh, right! That's why that gray cloak woman didn't fight Rita upfront, but she set up a trap in the lab!" Said Kiana. "Try to find a chance to fight her in an open space. But also prepare yourself for failure." Said Fu Hua.

"If she does try to use the gas I'll use wind and air to try to blow it away." I said. "I think I have a plan... But we still have to fight her first." Said Kiana. Kiana ducked down, held the trigger, poised to shoot. "If you say so." I said as I took out one of the Dragon Guns and did the same thing she did. Then we caused an explosion and the vans crashed. But then mecha appeared. We held our guns and began to fight them. Then a bunch of test subjects appeared and attacked us. But then I switched to the Dragon Guns to machine pistol form and proceeded to take them out. Then I switched to the Dragon Ax and Dragon Hammer and took more out.

Kiana and I took care of them all but then Raven appeared and threw a van at us. Luckily we managed to dodge. We were now face to face with Raven. "Raven... So we finally meet." I said. "And you as well Patrick, Herrscher of the Dragon." Replied Raven. I put both of my weapons away.

"Tell me... Why are you helping this girl? You are supposed to protect humanity." "You've been murdering too many people in your experiments. You and everyone who works for World Serpent survived the Honkai eruption. Half of humanity didn't. Your murder of people in your experiments ends tonight." "Murdering people in our experiments?... ha... the experiments are the necessary things we do to help the people. Even if it means sacrificing innocent lives." "That makes World Serpent no different from Schicksal or Anti-Entropy because of how all 3 organizations have been killing people in their experiments, taking people away from their families, and forcing people to fight against their own wills." I pulled out the Dragon gauntlets then changed the hands into the form of dragon claws. "I see your Herrscher bodies are holding on quite well, huh?" Said Raven. "Now you can't use Honkai energy either. Finally looking to fight us fair and square?" Asked Kiana. But then Raven injected herself with something. "For both of you... There's no such thing as "fair." The hunt starts now." Said Raven.

"Bring it." I said as I glowed and an illusion of a dragon appeared behind me. But Raven mimicked it and she glowed too and an illusion of a raven appeared behind her. Kiana fired her guns while I blasted Honkai energy from my hands. Raven dodger then shot energy raven feathers. I slashed them away with the Dragon Gauntlets surrounded by green energy, then Raven charged at me prepared to slash at me but then I slashed back and got into a fisticuffs with her. Kiana attempted to hit Raven with her lance but then Raven jumped out of the way before Kiana missed. Raven created a raven out of energy and shot it at us. But I countered it with an energy dragon I created and shot back and made both attacks explode.

"You've been murdering too many innocent people in your experiments." "Murdering too many innocent people in our experiments? I'm afraid that you're mistaken Dragon. It is critical that we must make necessary sacrifices in the stigma experiment." "That makes you and World Serpent no different from Otto Apocalypse and Schicksal who have been killing people in their experiments while only survivors are turned into Valkyries and Stigmata against their own will. And I'm getting sick and tired of everyone saying the same thing over and over again. "Necessary Sacrifices must be made" every time I say to them that they murdered tons people." I said.

"You're all crazy!" Raven attempted to slash me but I slashed back. "Kiana and I only have one conviction as Herrschers. To create a world without Otto Apocalypse and Schicksal. That's what Drago and Sirin wanted before but Sirin changed her conviction to killing all of humanity. I've seen organizations take children away from their parents and get experimented on. I refuse to let you continue doing that!" I attempted to slash at her with fire coming off the Dragon Gauntlets but she blocked my strike and kicked me back.

Kiana and I continued fighting against Raven. We felt strength escaping from our bodies, our limbs caught in dense mire. "It's the gas. It's taking affect on us." I said. Kiana was weakened and so was I. Suddenly, the gray cloak unfolded over her head in a flash, like a raptor spreading its wings to its prey. She tried to dodge, but the cold, sharp claw accurately pierced her body, as if it has anticipated her move. With enough strength left I used fire and got Raven off of Kiana. "I refuse to fall here. I've already been captured once. I refuse to get captured again." With whatever strength I had, I used air power, got into the sky, and attempted to fly away. "You're already within my range! You won't escape this time! Emperor Crimson!" Everything around here turned red and time slowed down. "You won't get away, Dragon. Your holding something that wiped out half of humanity. From what I've heard you like making pop-culture references. Here's my reference from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind."" Then Raven flew and got behind us. "Take this! The passage of time will resume!" Then she slashed me in the back as time resumed and I coughed out blood and hit the ground with Kiana.

We managed to get up. 'No! This can't be happening! We can't fall here! If we do! We'll get captured or killed by World Serpent!' I shouted at myself in my mind. "What... are you... trying to do... in this city...?" Asked Kiana. Tottering slowly, we could no longer hold ourselves up. "I'm not obligated to answer your question." Said Raven. Finally Kiana and I lost consciousness and changed back into our default battlesuits.

No point of view: "Jackal, it's done." Said Raven. "Ha, just as I expected. Herrschers are not unconquerable, as long as you know the trick. Raven, take them to the lab." Ordered Jackal. "A friendly suggestion—put out the fire before it turns into a blaze." "No way! Killing them is an outrageous waste! These are Herrschers—two live Herrschers!!" "Then why not just take Dragon back and kill Void." "No! Never! I need both of them alive! Only one Herrscher is not enough! Bring them both to the lab now!!! That's an order or else I will punish you!!! I can't wait to tear them apart and start some tests..." "...You're insane." Raven tossed the duo's limp bodies aside, and ordered the puppet soldiers to carry them into the van." "I'll take them back. The rest of you go on with the mission."

Drago and Fu Hua were now worried of what was going to happen to Patrick and to Kiana. "That wasn't supposed to happen was it?" Asked Drago. "This is bad. Even World Serpent has bad people wanting to experiment on Herrschers." Said Fu Hua. "And they blew it." "We better find a way to set them free." "We better or else Schicksal will use this chance to capture Kiana."

Meanwhile, someone has been watching them at a distance. "Alas, I thought you both could handle this. After all, I wasn't held up for long. But there's a silver lining — Now I know there's an antidote to the gas serum. So... Mr Ewing and Miss Kaslana, please hang in there for now. After all, you bossed me around and almost killed me. Consider this payback time. Anyway, I hope my HELP can arrive soon." Rita disappeared into the night, murmuring.
