            Rika, Drake, and Mars were in the shadows walking through the city. They saw posters of all their friends and them. Rika and Drake were following Mars. They were worried he didn't know where the hideout was but trusted him at the same time. Mars stopped when he saw a roadblock. The Queen's guard had saw up checkpoints to look at the people going in and out of the town. Mars looked at Rika and Drake, hoping they would find away around. They all began looking around. Rika found one way around. Drake found another way. Mars found one way. They came together to see which way was the best. If they went with Rika's path they would go underground through a hidden tunnel system. Drake's path at them around on the rooftops. Mars's path had them sneak past the guards, through a small opening. They picked Rika's plan and entered the tunnel system from a nearby hidden grate. They found themselves surrounded by the queen's snakes. They thought the false queen had planned this out. They began attacking the snakes and started pushing forward. They traverse the tunnels trying to find a way out the city. They made two lefts and one right through the tunnel system. They saw another path. This time it was three paths. They all picked the right path. They rushed down that path and saw the coast was clear. They were relieved for once. As they went through the tunnel, they felt like someone was following them or watching them. They hurried through the tunnels and saw an opening to leave. Suddenly a shadow figure appeared before them. The shadow figure appeared to be Hanzo.

Hanzo attacked them, the group defended themselves. Even though it was 1v3, Hanzo held his own. Hanzo smiled and made copies of himself, instantly turning the fight evenly. Rika, Drake, and Mars didn't know if they were fighting the real Hanzo. They were holding their own against each other. No one was trying to give their opponent the upper hand. Their weapon clashed against Hanzo's guns. Mars knew they had to finish the fight to get back to the hideout. Mars' body started to heat up. Everyone stepped back, as they felt the heat. Mars engulfed the tunnels with flames. Drake was quick enough to make a barrier protecting Rika and him. Hanzo clones dropped. Hanzo couldn't withstand the heat. Hanzo passed out. Mars grabbed Rika and Drake, leaving the tunnels.
