LOSERSON: FATE

CHAPTER FIVE: FALL OF ONE'S HOMELAND

Julian pants as he leans into the rows of bushes. Soon enough, three dead bodies (revealed to be the same dead Strike's supporters and Elizabeth's assistant) drop from the small grassy hill right in front of him, and Julian could see masked men, whom he assumes working for Strike secretly, being the real culprits behind the killing before they leave. After that, the phone inside the dead assistant's jacket rings, and Julian, feeling suspicious about it, picks the phone and answers it silently. "So, do you want yourself redeemed? Of course you don't," Strike's voice is heard, with his sound of joyfulness and mockery.

Julian angers towards Strike, "What did you do?"

Strike: "I did you a favor. You can thank me later."

Julian hears the police sirens alarming outside, and the police officers surround the building. "Loserson, please put up your hands and surrender now! You are done murdering people!"

Obviously Julian knows he's being framed, and Strike offers, "Apologies for my servant's misunderstanding, but I can help you a bit. You want redemption, you'll find me. STRIKE Company on the furthest Surian."

Julian: "You really think I'll be needing your help, after what you put your stupid bounty head on me?"

Strike: "I'm not asking. Either you hand over to the police where they will treat you harshly, even executing you for something I do, or hand yourself to me where you find no suffering but at a cost. <BEEP!>"

Simultaneously Wayne appears outside of Jizzafe's back door, but Julian is long gone.

Julian heads straight towards the first route, which would be in the bus. However the plan was scrapped due to two assassins blocking the bus stop and heading towards Julian. However two bullets land onto their heads, and Julian is startled to see Wayne Wilson behind the small attack. He pulls another trigger towards Julian, but misses as Julian rushes away, heading to the MRT. Wayne Wilson could do nothing but to pursue him like a predator. When they arrive at the MRT, both Julian and Wayne pass into the ticket booth, and into the station where the electric train immediately arrives. Julian enters inside the train quickly while Wayne enters to the other entrance at the same time. The doors are closed and Julian's heartbeat increases rapidly as Wayne comes closer, pushing the crowd lightly. Julian tries to outrun Wayne, but Wayne catches Julian and pulls a knife. Upon seeing themselves surrounded by passengers, including small children, Wayne halts his attack for a brief moment.

Soon after the train reaches Bandar Utama, two stations before Surian, Julian punches Wayne, as well as getting stabbed lightly, and escapes the train, being followed by Wayne again. Luckily there are two motorists who are about to leave their bikes, and Julian knocks one out and hijacks the bike, then takes off. Wayne pulls a gun at one motorist, who later surrenders the key. The chase ensues between Julian and Wayne through the highway at night. Julian drives faster to confront Strike, and Wayne, pursuing him aggressively, pulls a trigger and hits the motorbike's back, alerting Julian. At a time, four new assassin motorists arrive, carrying swords to target Julian. Julian dodges one and rams into another, leaving three in pursuit. Wayne drives closer and shoots an assassin by three bullets, and two towards another from behind. One assassin draws his sword towards Julian, but Julian ducks, leaving Wayne to shoot the last assassin's tires, crashing his bike. Wayne aims at Julian, but his bullets are already wasted. Upon reaching Surian, and closer to the tall STRIKE Company building, Wayne forcefully crashes into Julian's bike, yeeting both Julian and Wayne closer to the entrance. Julian, badly injured and lying on the ground, slowly crawls towards the stair of the entrance while Wayne slowly reloads his gun and walks towards him. He has an opportunity to shoot Julian, but as Julian's left hand crosses the door entrance, Thomas Strike suddenly appears, aiming the gun at Wayne and advises, "That's enough, Wayne, I need him."
