"Anyone see where Five went?" Ashlinn looks around the bowling alley, but he was nowhere to be found.

"Must've run off again. Left us to fend for ourselves again. He does this a lot, you get used to it." Diego says and she nods.

"I'm starting to." She mumbles as she crosses her arms and sits back in her seat.

Luther and Allison come back to the group, ready to enact whatever plan they decide to use.

"Where's Five?" Luther asks.

"He left."

"Oh, for the love of...where did he go?"

"He failed to mention." Ashlinn stands and faces Luther.

"Well, we're not waiting around for him. The concert starts in 30 minutes." Ashlinn nods, ready to get going.

"Alright, so what's the plan?" Diego asks and Luther clears his throat.

"Well, I think that, uhh...we go to the Icarus Theatre." He has no plan.

"That's a location, not a plan." Diego points out. "What? Is that all you got? Look, if you wanna be Number One, fine, but you're gonna have to get us on the same page because right now we are all over the place."

"You're right," Luther admits and Ashlinn laughs.

"That hurt big guy?" She jokes, but he ignores her.

"We need a plan," Luther says, but they didn't get far with planning because there was a commotion behind them. Ashlinn looks behind Luther to see what was going on when she saw a group of people in gas masks with glowing red eyes and guns running in.

"Shit! Get down." She yells before they open fire. They all scramble for cover.

"Who the hell are these guys?!" Diego yells over the gunfire.

"Maybe they're here for Kenny's birthday!" Klaus retorts and Ashlinn glares at him.

"Time and place dumbass!"

"No, I'm pretty sure they're here for us!" Luther says and Ashlinn rolls her eyes. No shit, Sherlock.

Diego stands up and throws a knife at one of the soldiers, knocking him into a control panel. The lights dimmed and spotlights of all different colours danced around the area. An upbeat yet annoying song started playing.

Everyone went hell for leather throwing shit at the soldiers to slow the gunfire. They succeeded in such, knocking out a few but there were too many to take down with the limited supplies they had.

"They're blocking the exit!"

"So, what's the plan now, Luther?!" Diego asks and they all look at Luther. Allison starts to point towards the lanes and they caught on.

"The lanes, let's go!" Luther yells and they all make a run for the lanes. Ashlinn blocks her head as she slides through the pins and rolls out the other side of the lane. They all run out of the exit at the end of the hallway.

"The Icarus Theatre isn't far from here. Let's go." Ashlinn begins running in the direction of the theatre and they all follow. They arrived within a few minutes and they all caught their breath in the lobby.

"Jesus Christ! He's dead when I see him." Ashlinn says to herself as the receptionist calls out to them.

"Are you all alright?" He asks and they all approach the desk.

"Our sister is playing, Vanya Hargreeves."

"Yes, she left tickets, here. The concert has already started so try not to disturb the other patrons." He says with a slight sneer.
