There are rapid sounds of gunshot then the next thing is a sound of a knife getting through a machine.

The light on its head, the one that is used for its sight, turns off and all of the parts and head fall down, totally shutted down.

Saku draws back his knife from the robot's body and there is Zircon behind it, leaning on the wall and panting heavily and holding his left arm that is bleeding, while Saku himself is actually worse.

Zircon probably gets a deep cut on his left arm and some several injuries but Saku seems to have more blood in his clothes.

Both of them panting heavily and probably almost reaching their limit, especially for Saku who has been fighting the two of them at the same time.

But there it is, he is still standing with his two feets and successfully beats one of them out of the battle, such a great improvement from these past few weeks.

"Congrats on taking out that garbage." Zircon says sarcastically between his heavy breaths.

Saku immediately looks toward where the sound is coming from, a knife and a gun still accompany both of his hands.

His figure doesn't show any weakness or tiredness, it is still as sharp as from the beginning they start fighting.

Elio's soul probably gets into him as Saku doesn't say anything in return but just gets to his combat position, ready for round two where it is just between two of them.

Zircon furrows his eyebrows, irritated how a person like Saku is taunting him as if he is a lot stronger than him.

On the other hand Zircon also notices that he already fails to stop them from their mission which makes him wonder why Saku would want to continue this battle.

Their tasks should already be fulfilled and Citrina would come out from her cockpit to hunt all of them.

Weirdly she doesn't show up yet which is leaving Zircon wondering and confused at the same time.

Is it because Citrina already knows how to handle their chips? Or she just doesn't realize or the control is just unnoticeable?

Suddenly those thoughts disappear because Zircon notices there is someone footsteps behind them and only one person can show up from that direction.

Zircon doesn't turn his head toward the sound and keeps focusing on Saku because he is going to take this as a head start to strike Saku first.

Once he hears her step inside the room which makes Saku look at that sound's source direction immediately, Zircon quickly draws his knife from behind and charges forward to Saku.

None of them really can put their guards down even toward their own teammates because what happens next is really out of everyone's prediction.

When Zircon is already in mid way of stabbing Saku from the front, there is a gunshot sound rings in the area which stops both Saku and Zircon movement.

First blood drops on the ground and slowly there is another one then keeps coming from one of their bodies.

Neither of them did it because the one who shot is actually the one who just came into their battlefield, Citrina.

There are two guns on her hands as she shows up with that wanting of thirst to kill someone or anyone in her sight, a fierce face that is almost similar to Elio where it can't be described how mad she is.

What makes it more shocking is that the one who she shoots is not their team's opponent other than Zircon who is actually her teammate.

Zircon looks down only to find that his body is bleeding then slowly turns his head to look at Citrina in disbelievement mixed with anger.
