5 hours was more time than Jade needed to get her hands on a computer and into the dark web and get supplies from people on the dark web, all she had to do was say it was to help the revolution.
2:00 PM
Friday
Walking into the tower, Nadia realized what Jade was trying to do.
"This is the best you could come up with Jade? " Scarlet called out, her voice echoing through the building.
"You only gave me 5 hours" Jade yelled back.
The voices echoed throughout the tower, Scarlet had no clue where Jade was. Reluctantly she made her way up the floors.
"I know what you're doing Jade" Scarlet yelled
"Oh, do you?" Jade yelled back
"If you think just because I can't pinpoint your voice, you'll be able to get the jump on me, you're wrong" Scarlet mocked.
"Don't be so sure Scarlet," Jade yelled back
BANG
Jade fired and hit Scarlet, but with how dark it was, Scarlet couldn't find the source of the shot.
"Hell of a shot Jade" Scarlet mumbled" You persistent bitch."
"How does that shoulder feel now?" Jade mocked
"Why don't you come out here and find out" Scarlet yelled
With a scream, Jade fell from the ceiling. Plunging a knife into Scarlet's waist, bringing them both to the ground. Scarlet kicked Jade off before she could make a killing blow, while she got back up to her feet, Jade ran back into the shadows.
"That was good Jade" Scarlet yelled "But now I'm on high alert.
"Not alert enough" Jade yelled
Jade's agile form weaved through the shadows, the metallic echoes of her boots reverberating in the dimly lit tower. Scarlett emerged from the darkness, a malevolent glint in her eyes. The air thickened with tension as the two locked gazes, a silent understanding that only one would exit the tower alive.
Their clash echoed through the stone halls, each strike a symphony of violence. Scarlett's crimson blade danced with lethal precision, but Jade's movements were a graceful ballet of evasion. The metallic clang of steel filled the air as the two adversaries pushed their limits.
Jade, fueled by determination, landed a series of calculated blows on Scarlett, the cold steel of her weapon finding its mark. But Scarlett, a master of the martial arts, hit Jade with a fling kick, sending Jade crashing into the tower's walls.
As the battle reached its crescendo, Jade, battered but unyielding, tapped into her inner strength. A burst of energy surged through her veins, and with a swift maneuver, she disarmed Scarlett and plunged Scarlett's knife into her chest.
"You did this," Jade yelled.
"No Jade, you did" Scarlet stuttered, choking on blood.
With a cold resolve, Jade raised her pistol.
"BANG"
The tower's silence shattered as Jade delivered the final blow, ending Scarlett's reign of darkness. The air hung heavy with the aftermath, the dark tower now a silent witness to the brutality that unfolded within its walls.
Jade, bloodied and bruised, staggered from the Tower, a reminder of the price paid in the pursuit of justice, for Iris.
