"Commander Haxon." Cassie said.
"Miles, Henderson, good to see you." Haxon said.
"Hey Haxon, I see you're training the cadets." Sean replied.
"Indeed" Haxon sees another cadet trying to skip exercise. "Hey get back here, you'll only get extra reps."
"Anyways, we want to discuss something that popped up on the news." Cassie replied.
"Lydia's Back, I know, command had us informed sometime after the breakout." Haxon then takes Sean and Cassie for a walk "Come on, let's get the rest of the team. Just need a role call." Haxon Said.

"Hand us the money." The redhead thug said.
Just when the cashier reaches for the cash register, Fastbde arrives at the store.

The leader of this criminal gang, a young man, not much older than either than them, with light brown hair, wearing a dark red leather jacket with zippers and belts wrapped around his arms, dark grey pants and white shoes with knifes at the hips arrive in the centre.
"Girls, I'm quite disappointed that you both have decided to turn against me. We could've taken this city on together, especially you, Lapis." the leader said.
"Really? that is what you say after you killed the security crew on the Arc Industries Convoy, deaths that could've been easily preventable." Lapis replied.
"I did what I had to do, I couldn't risk having those fuckers rat us out and get a worldwide search." leader replied.
"You're such full of shit Eugene." Gabrielle said.
Eugene ughs, he signals his men to point their guns on the two girls.
"Let's py a game, you are free to leave this pce, however, one lives, and the other dies." Eugene said.
Lapis closes her eyes, expecting the worst She hears a gunshot, only for Gabrielle to be the one who got shot instead.
"No...." Lapis whispered. Gabrielle falls into the ground. "Eugene you son of a bitch! how could you!" Lapis shouted.
"That's just the price for insolence, don't worry, I'll give you a headstart to get out of my sight before you are next." Eugene replied.
Lapis runs away from Eugene and his hideout, distraught at what had just happened, tears were flowing in her eyes.

ARC INDUSTRIES WEAPONS LABORATORY
A few bck military trucks are seen driving to the boratory. The guards were initially confused by this as they don't recognize any familiar markings on the trucks, nor were informed of such trucks arriving.
"Hey, you recognized those trucks anywhere?" one guard asked.
"No I don't." The other guard replied. The guard sees the truck getting closer. "You are trespassing on Arc Industries property, step away from the vehicle or we will use force!"
The trucks engines stop only for a squad of CAV Soldiers to show up and shoot both the guards. The attack on the Lab begins as Shadow Star steps out of the truck.
"All according to pn." Shadow Star said over the comms as he loads his assault rifle.
