Yami starts to make her way to Hoody

But a loud alarm sounds off through the entire building

"Sir, there's an intruder, he-here's what the cameras are showing, she's just standing there, I-I think she's waiting for something" A man in a labcoat rushes to Hoody, showing him footage on an iPad

"Reporting for duty, tell me where to go and I'll be there" Lane stands close behind Yami

"Send Buck, he'll be our negotiator, Lane, get a good perch position and aim a shot just in case, she doesn't seem like trouble for now" Hoody commands

"Yes sir" Lane goes invisible

"What about me?" Yami asks

"What about you?" Hoody asks

"Should I be extra backup too?" Yami asks

"Just try to be safe" Hoody shakes his head

Yami stares at him

Hoody walks away with the scientist

"You're gonna go down there still, aren't you?" Alayna asks

"Of course I am" Yami rushes off to the entrance

"Miss, I don't think you know where you are" Buck stares at the woman

"I know exactly where I am" The woman starts laughing

"I miss anything?" Yami asks

"What are you-" Buck starts to say

"Oh I know EXACTLY WHERE I AM" The woman takes out two knives, barrelling toward Yami

"WATCH OUT" Alayna warns

Yami blocks her face with the arm guards

The woman appears behind her, nearly cutting through her

Lane takes a shot...

But the woman seems like she predicts it

"What the he-" Lane starts to say

The woman takes out a glock, shooting at Lane

Lane does his best to dodge, but still gets shot in the arm twice

Yami spins around, trying to punch the woman

The woman ducks then kicks Yami with a winding blow, sending her into the wall

Yami grunts

The woman tries going for another kill shot but gets blocked by Hoody using his scythe

"Oh, for the love of god, JUNAK" The woman shouts

Junak charges through the wall, tackling Hoody to the ground

"One on one now" Yami slowly gets up, grabbing her back

"You ain't got a chance, chic" The woman laughs

Yami basically appears behind the woman, her eyes turning black, pupils red

Alayna and Yami both punch her in unison

The woman lands head-first into the wall Yami cracked

Yami tries to spartan kick her through it

The woman dodges away, tossing Yami into another room, a room full of glass chambers

They fight valiantly, exchanging blow after blow

The woman finally grabs Yami by the neck, she slams her against a wall

Blood sputters out of Yami's nose

The woman keeps slamming Yami's head, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, we could be counting for hours

"C'mon, just...stay conscious" Alayna holds her own head

When the woman lets go, Yami just drops to the ground, her own legs unable to support her

"Ugh...f#ck me" Yami mutters

"YOU'RE WEAK" The woman picks Yami up by the hair, then throws her through one of the glass chambers

Yami falls to the ground, barely staying alive

"YAMI, hey............please.........ju....." Alayna's words slowly fade out

Yami's eyes flicker, then completely shut
