"I said stop now!"

The Japanese insurgent swung his fist towards the athlete, aiming to hurt him for defiance. Before the fist could land anywhere, he heard a snap.

The athlete then blocked the insurgent's swing with his left arm, and hit the insurgent's chin with his right palm, stunning him for a few seconds.

Using this brief time frame, he immediately grappled the insurgent, taking his sidearm and intending to point it at the Vietnamese insurgent.

Seeing the entire scene unfold, Nguyen immediately armed himself with his own sidearm, to defend himself from the athlete's threat.

"Hey, let go!" the Vietnamese insurgent pointed his gun at the athlete, being as careful as he could to avoid friendly fire. "I shoot you!"

"After all the shit that you put me though..."

The Vietnamese insurgent then noticed something bizarre, something that made him freeze in place. He saw that the athlete's eyes slowly turn into a crimson red under the lights.

"I don't think so." the athlete finished his sentence with deep hatred.

Nguyen didn't falter, however, he was obviously nervous. He was trying not to harm Matsumoto in any way, but the athlete pointed his gun to the Japanese insurgent's head.

"Let me put this in a simpler way." Dustin said, completely out of character. "You shoot, I shoot."

"You no shoot..."

"Yeah, I will." the athlete put the gun against the Japanese insurgent's head. "Now go on, pull the damn trigger."

"Nguyen, make the right choice." the Japanese insurgent said. "Go on, I trust you."

"Shut up." the athlete bumped the barrel on the Japanese insurgent's head. "Any more talking, and all this shit will go down."

Nguyen narrowed his eyes to the athlete, who was currently taunting him for his relatively slow decision. After a few seconds, the Vietnamese insurgent made his decision.

He shot once at the two, aiming for the athlete's head.

As if he had predicted this, Dustin simply tilted to the side, with the bullet hitting the Japanese insurgent in the head instead, killing him.

Before the Vietnamese insurgent could react, the athlete shot him twice in the chest, making him lean against the wall and slowly slump down.

"Oh no, don't close your eyes yet..." the athlete dropped the Japanese insurgent to the side and walked towards the injured insurgent. "I have one last thing for you..."

The athlete picked up the injured insurgent by the shoulders, making him stand. The insurgent tried to fight back, but it proved to be futile and the athlete headbutted him, stunning him for a few seconds.

With the insurgent briefly stunned, the athlete muscled him over towards the electric chair he was bound to. He made him sit down, then punched him in the face, and started to bind him to the chair's restraints.

"Hey, hey!" the Vietnamese insurgent spoke up. "What you do?"

"Figure it out for yourself, because I know you can..." Dustin responded, walking to the far end of the room. "You only have so long to do that..."

Nguyen then noticed that the athlete was walking towards the switch, to send the electric currents to the chair. Seeing this, he immediately panicked.

"Hey! No switch, please!" he begged with him. "N-No switch!"
