The Bloody Festival — Part 3.

"Oi! Get a hold of yourself eleven three!! We have incoming enemies that are after us. Do something! Maybe, a retractable bullet shield or anything at all!" B. Bones said as he was actually panicking at the moment. Amongst them, no one knows who is next to hit the floor in a lifeless manner.

113 at that moment gave himself a slap as he tries to toughen himself up and then picked up his tools to stay in form. Just at that moment, they could hear few footsteps coming towards their direction but Eugene gave himself a pause and quickly spoke to 113, saying, "hey, 113! Quickly give me a brief report on G55's death!"

"A-actually, th-there is a sniper on the loose! He got Gabriel eliminated!" 113 reported as he was still panicking but continued, "Gabriel did take down a lot of the Black Crooks' men down with him by self detonating himself!"

"Alright guys! We have few opponents to face, hold your ground and I will head to the terrace between the school's main building and the auditorium, the sniper might really want to cause some casualty in the auditorium and the incoming guys may serve as a distraction! I'll have to face him off!" Eugene informed the others but his ear plugs sounded from his ears with a response, "we will take him on, so focus on guarding the lower floor."

That was Velma's response as she was able to overhear the teams discussion through one of the ear plugs that was on mic mode. "O-okay Velma, I'll leave it up to you guys." Eugene replied as he decides to go with her suggestion. "Don't worry about us and just deal with them bastards." Says Velma as she signaled Jixie to follow her lead as they both went upstairs from the main auditorium area to the second floor, where it's hallway could lead to the terrace.

The both wet to a nearby window, which they could peek through from and know if the danger, Herman was close but immediately they had their heads peek through, Jixie suddenly pushed Velma away from the window as well as falling on the ground with her and to Velma's surprise, who was about to scold and maybe, nag at Jixie, she saw a sniper bullet penetrate through the glass and finally falling to the ground.

Seeing this immediately got her sweating like crazy as she got herself in a trance of fear, not knowing what to do. Jixie violently shook Velma to get her off from her trance and then whispered to her, "hey, I will be going heads on with this guy, so, I need you to cover me, okay?"

"W-wha-what!? Are you crazy? Do you want to get yourself k....." just as Velma tries to finish her statement, Jixie suddenly covers her mouth as she gestured to keep her voice low. Velma was finally able to calm down and then, she slowly looked up at Jixie who later took back her hand away from Velma's mouth and then, Velma whispered to her, "do you have a plan?" "yeah, I do. So please, trust me. All you need to do is to cover me. This is the only option I have now and we can't waste any more time, due to we don't know what the enemy might do next. I'll be going ahead with my plan, so, do cover me." Jixie whispered back her reply and as she did that, she suddenly brought out two smoke grenades and had them both unpinned and with full force, she made a curved throw through the window, in which the grenades crashed through and rolled near the staircase that led to the auditorium from the school's main building before releasing it's gas in an explosive manner.

Just as the smoke got released, Jixie suddenly barged through the door and started opening fire at the staircase's direction while Velma suddenly joined as she backs her friend up. Things seem to go normally till Jixie felt a kick on her hands that knocked out the pistol she had with her and still trying to get into her balance, another kick which was way strong, went to her stomach, causing her to get pushed back across the terrace and falling onto Velma.

The two got themselves sent to the wall in-between the window and the door, which simultaneously knocked out the gun Velma had with her. In the midst of the smoke, a man walks through it in what seemed like a portable respiratory masks and a protective eye goggles. He was totally fine as he was really prepared for unexpected cases such as this. Herman then did not hesitate but rushed at Jixie, picked her up by getting a hold of the back of her collar and her trousers belt and without thinking twice, threw her back to the hallway through the window. He picked Velma up by holding her neck and suddenly smashed her head through the terrace's door and into the hallway.

Herman then walks back majestically to his former position where he had his bag positioned. He went through it and fished out some attachments and then a disassembled auto rifle. He took his time in arranging it and then, gently walked on his path to the hallway. As soon as he pushed the door open, he got speared by Jay but unfortunately, Herman only flinched and did not fall which was normally expected from him.

Herman took the chance, with his elbow, stroke at the back of Jay's head and knocking him out completely. As Jay fell on Herman's feet, Herman looked at his front only to see a gun pointed at him.....

....[Back at the team's final line.]....

Just as the enemy was approaching at them, 3Es suddenly threw a cocktail at a predicted spot which fortunately enough was the accurate spot to have one as some of the enemies caught fire. As the screams got to the team's ears, they all opened fire at the direction where they heard the screams were coming from. Many of the Black Crooks' men were getting downed as the guns were blazing at them.

As Eugene was on full focus, he mistakenly turned to his right as to get a refill of another magazine and, he was lucky enough to notice some enemies coming through that direction. At the top of his voice, he quickly gave AE7 an order, saying, "Angelo! Enemies at the right!! I need your long range assistance!!!" Just as he gave his order, Eugene suddenly reloaded and rushed at the incoming enemies while AE7 suddenly abandoned his auto rifle and proned with his sniper rifle in an unimaginable speed and he was already firing accurate shots at the enemies before Eugene nor the enemies could open fire at each other.

In an instant, the duo were able to wipe out the enemies. Eugene then took the chance and switched his ear plugs to mic mode and called onto the two, Velma and Jixie, "hey! Jixie! Velma! What is the situation there!! Hey!! Velma!!! Jixie!!!" just as he couldn't reach the two, Eugene's heart began to beat faster than ever. "Hey Eugene! It's Jay! I need your help, Velma and Jixie are knocked ...." before Jay could even finish his statement, Eugene suddenly rushed back to the last line, barged into the auditorium's main door, thereby scaring the students the more but he paid no mind to them and so were his team as they concentrated on wiping out the rest of the enemies that were left.

Eugene then rushed upstairs to the second floor to find Jay rushing at Herman. Just as Herman knocked out Jay, Eugene got on one of his knees and had his eyes get in contact with Herman's. Just as Herman saw him, Eugene uttered, "Fucking bastard!" and in response, Herman said under his breath, "fuck." Just at that moment, Eugene emptied his magazine on Herman's body before he could even react and Herman fell back to his death on the floor.

Seeing that Herman was dead, he heaved a sigh of relief and had himself lay on the floor, panting like crazy due to out of exhaustion while staring at the ceiling. After some minutes, the shootout suddenly stopped and there were some cheers coming from downstairs which were made by the students. Some footsteps were being heard as multiple people were coming upstairs.

Finally the team arrived at the second floor's hallway as they saw Eugene laid on the floor while breathing smoothly and the rest, laying unconsciously and AE7 gave his report saying, "we are done. The threats have been subdued. "That's nice guys." Eugene replied before closing his eyes to rest.

............

Back at the cafe where Jamie was at, he had a sip of the tea he was having and just as he dropped down his cup on the table, a woman came to his table and sat to the seat that was directly opposite to him. Seeing her, Jamie chuckled before speaking up, "its a pleasant surprise to have you here with me, miss Candice Grey. What seems to be the reason for your unannounced visit?"

Candice gave him a sweet smile and answered him with a question, "who sent you to go after my son?"

"Madam, you should know that I won't give you an answer to that question, right?" Jamie replied as he took another sip from his cup.

"Oh, I just thought that you are the type to not care about sharing your idea to anyone but anyways, that isn't the reason why I am here." Just as she replied, Jamie had his two arms detached from his shoulders with a machete by sir Eric who sneaked up on him.

"Huh?" Jamie uttered the word as he saw his two arms fall from his body but at that moment, Candice widened her smile as she continued to share her reason, "Jamie Callisto, also known as The Long Don. I came here to give you your death. You can just simply address me as your angel of death."

After she was done with her explanation, Jamie suddenly screamed in agony and pain and miss Angel who was behind him as well pulled his chair to the floor which he fell from and kept screaming. Candice kept watch at him, In front of the residents that were there, even leading to some of them to scream in horror. Not minding the crowd, she took Jamie's cup and started sipping from it.

Sir Eric went further ahead to slice of his two legs from his waist, leading to Jamie in screaming more loudly. Sir Eric then backed off while miss Angel brought out her chainsaw and slowly and gently have her chainsaw go through Jamie's neck. Jamie kept screaming in horror while Candice kept on quenching her thirst with the tea and watched how he slowly died.

When miss Angel finally cut through his throat, Candice finished sipping on her cup of tea and stood up from her seat and walked away with her two bodyguards.
