Ace woke up early, unable to sleep due to the overpowering smell of wine and alcoholic drinks that permeated the bar. Seeking fresh air, he quietly slipped out, only to be ambushed and kidnapped by an unknown assailant. A note was left outside the bar.
When Sebastian and Victor awoke, Victor immediately noticed Ace's absence. He asked Sebastian if he knew where Ace was, but Sebastian was just as confused. Frantically searching, Victor found the note outside. It was addressed to him.
"TO VICTOR"
Victor opened the letter, his heart pounding. It was from Maddy, declaring that he had kidnapped Ace. Maddy demanded that Victor come to an old warehouse named "Ironclad Storage" on the outskirts of town.
Sebastian warned Victor against going, knowing it was a trap, but Victor was determined. Ignoring the advice, Victor made his way to Ironclad Storage, his resolve unwavering.
As Victor entered the warehouse, Maddy greeted him with a mocking tone. "Oh, look who's here! It's VICTOR!" Maddy was flanked by his gang of four, along with ten more thugs he had recruited to ensure Victor's defeat.
Victor stepped forward, his voice steady despite the odds. "Take me and leave Ace. This is between you and me. Leave him out of this."
Maddy sneered and ordered his men to capture Victor. As they closed in, Victor fought valiantly but was eventually overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. Bound and helpless, he saw Ace being released.
Suddenly, Camila, one of Maddy's allies with enhanced sensory abilities, spoke up. "I sense someone else is here too."
Sebastian emerged from the shadows. "Wow, Camila, your senses have improved," he remarked with a smirk.
Maddy's eyes narrowed. "Oh, Professor, are you here to back up this kid?"
Sebastian replied coolly, "Guess so."
Mike, known for his lightning-fast punches, attacked Sebastian. But with his extraordinary reflexes, Sebastian dodged every blow. The fight erupted into chaos, with Sebastian facing off against all fifteen of Maddy's men.
Despite his incredible agility, Sebastian began to tire under the relentless assault. As the gang closed in, beating him mercilessly, Ace managed to unlock Victor's restraints. The two brothers made a break for it, but Maddy quickly caught up, striking them both down. Ace collapsed, bleeding and unconscious, while Victor struggled to rise.
Maddy, using his frog-like abilities, began to beat Victor savagely. Just as hope seemed lost, the wind picked up, and heavy rain started pouring. A man in an oversized coat appeared at the entrance of the warehouse, moving with blinding speed. He effortlessly dispatched Maddy's entire crew, his movements a blur.
As the storm cleared, the mysterious man, Sebastian, Ace, and Victor had vanished, leaving Maddy fuming in the wreckage.
Maddy, clutching his bruised ribs, screamed into the empty warehouse, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, SEBASTIAN AND DHRUV!"
