*Belle and Masa are sitting in the security van in silence. Belle would break the ice*

Belle: So, do you think Lucks really did know what happened?

Masa: It doesn't matter. Like Lucinia said, Lucks is the head of the company. He either killed her intentionally, or killed her through negligence. Either way, her blood is on his hands.

*Lucks would be listening from the drivers seat with the doors closed, and then sighs out of guilt of what Masa said*

———————————————————————————

*Sofia is standing near the ledge of a bridge, waiting for someone. Then, a motorbike with someone on it and a car with some anime decals would park right beside her. Out comes Lamar from the car and Edwards removes his bike helmet*

Lamar: Sofia, were you okay getting here?

Sofia: Yeah, I'm fine. We're any of you followed.

Edwards: Nah, we're good. We made waaaay to much chaos at the arena for anyone to try and tail us.

*Then, someone else would got out of Lamar's car. That someone would be...*

Tari: Sofia!?

Sofia: TARI!

*Sofia hand her laptop that was in her hands to Edwards as she runs to Tari and hugging her tightly*

Sofia: I am so glad that you're safe. AND YOU GOT THE SERVER CARTRIDGE! Quick! Give it to me, and I'll release the data right now and TasCorp will be finished.

Tari: Sofia... We... we can't. Theo didn't make it across.

Edwards: My guess is, Belle got called out once Lucks got on high alert back at TasCorp's HQ. That means... Theo is still trapped at TasCorp.

Lamar: That means, we can't get the data out until we get him back. And not only that, but we lost Masa too. Again.

Edwards: Fortunately, that cartridge is the only thing that's keeping our friends alive right now.

Sofia: NO! WE WERE SO CLOSE!

*Sofia pinches her eyes closed and then looks at the skyline of Silica City*

So what now? We cut our losses? Trade the cartridge back for our friends?

Lamar: That ain't gonna work either. Remember the last time we made a deal with him? He shot Masa's arm off, nearly killed Y/N, crushed Theo's cartridge, and left Tari scarred and kidnapped her.

Edwards: So that's what happened to you Y/N...

Lamar: Yeah. It was horrible to see. For all of us. And I don't think Lucks has gotten any more chill since then.

Sofia: ...So what. There's nothing we can do? We're just stuck in this... Limbo?!

Lamar: I... *Sighs*

*Everyone there stays silent as Tari looks at Edwards, Lamar, and Sofia. Then at her arm, and her cartridge*

Tari: No... this ends... tonight. I'm not Masa, but I do have a plan. It's dangerous though. It's a big play so, we either win big. Or we lose. Everything. There's no inbetween. Will it get our friends back.

Sofia: And take down Lucks?

Tari: I think so, yeah.

Sofia and Lamar: ...We're in!

Lamar: What about you Edwards?

Edwards: I think I'd want to take a hit at the guy who shot my friend. So hell yeah I'm in!
