They arrived in the hallway after battling their way through an unrelenting wave of guards. Their coordinated movements were nothing short of breathtaking, each strike and dodge executed with precision.
Suddenly, a door creaked open, and Dominic emerged with a smug grin, flanked by several heavily armed guards. With him was a girl, her eyes blindfolded, her hands bound tightly behind her back.
“Well, well,” Dominic drawled, his voice dripping with arrogance. “You’ve made it this far. I must say, I’m impressed. But tell me, what now? You’re trapped.”
With a dramatic flourish, he yanked off the blindfold. Saidi’s heart froze, and a chill ran down her spine. Standing before her was Camilo, her face streaked with tears, her body trembling, and fresh wounds visible on her arms and legs.
Crimson drops fell from her injuries, staining the cold floor beneath her. A gag tied tightly around her mouth stifled any cries she might have made. Saidi’s trembling hands clenched into fists as fury boiled within her.
She could barely contain her rage as she stared at the condition of her sister, broken and bloodied. “Camilo…” Saidi whispered, her voice shaking.
Then, with renewed determination, she barked at Daniel and Mia, “Get ready! We’re not done yet. Fight with everything you’ve got!”
The trio braced themselves, their eyes locking with Dominic’s as the guards surged forward. It was time to fight again, this time with vengeance burning in their veins. The fight erupted with a fierce intensity.
Saidi, though weaker than before, remained steadfast in her determination. Despite their injuries, the trio fought valiantly, their resilience shining through as they eliminated Dominic’s guards one by one.
The room was filled with the echoes of clashing weapons and grunts of exertion. Dominic, realizing his forces were being decimated, grabbed Camilo and pressed a knife dangerously close to her neck.
“Stop, or she dies!” he bellowed, his voice echoing with desperation. Saidi’s sharp eyes locked on him. She decided to play her only card and taunted him, her voice cutting like a blade.
“Leave her alone. If you want to prove your strength, fight me. I thought you were powerful, but I was wrong. You’re nothing but a coward, hiding behind my innocent sister and using others to do your dirty work. Pathetic.”
Her words struck a nerve. Dominic’s face twisted in rage, and he shoved Camilo aside. “You dare question my strength? Fine! I’ll fight you myself,” he growled, stepping forward with murderous intent.
The two clashed in an electrifying battle. The air crackled with the sound of their blows. Dominic’s attacks were brutal and relentless, but Saidi’s swift movements and calculated strikes kept her in the fight.
Daniel and Mia provided support, intercepting the guards who tried to intervene. However, Saidi was growing visibly weaker. Her breaths were shallow, and her movements slowed, but her resolve never faltered.
Dominic saw an opening and lunged at her with his knife. The blade glinted menacingly, mere inches from her face. In a last-second move, Saidi twisted her body, evading the attack and positioning herself behind him.
With precision and determination, she drove a knife into his back. Dominic let out a roar of pain but was still standing.
Daniel and Mia acted swiftly, firing their weapons in perfect unison. The bullets struck Dominic, and he staggered before collapsing to the ground.
He coughed weakly, blood pooling around him. His eyes glared up at Saidi as he struggled to speak.
“You… you’ll… pay for this… You are…,” but his voice faded as life left his body.
