Kiyoshi pulled out his mask and let out a dark sinister chuckle as Sofia went into formation of her fighting stance, waiting for his first attack.
"I groomed you. Trained you! Do you really think you can out-do me?", Kiyoshi mocked.
"I can try.", Sofia glared at him.
Kiyoshi drew his katana and charged towards Sofia, she quickly ducked down and slid on the floor managing to slash Kiyoshi's torso.
"Argh!", Kiyoshi grunted. "I'll make you pay for that."
"Not on my watch.", Ryker quickly got up and winced slightly because of the wound.
Kiyoshi turned to face Ryker and immediately Sofia used that as a distraction and quickly jumped on Kiyoshi's back about to stab him, but Kiyoshi quickly threw his katana down and stretched his arms up grabbing hers and yanking her down throwing her to the ground.
"Romano, get everyone out!", Sofia grunted before Kiyoshi began to punch her, causing her to grunt.
Sofia wrapped her legs around Kiyoshi's torso and picked herself up, soon holding him in a chokehold position and clenched her teeth as she used all her strength. Kiyoshi grabbed the knife that she had in her hand that fell on the floor and stabbed her thigh.
"ARGH!", Sofia yelled as her grip loosened slightly.
Kiyoshi seized the opportunity to quickly pin her down. He raised up the knife with both hands and was about to stab her until a bullet went in between his eyes. Sofia began to pant as his lifeless body fell and swiftly got up.
"Damn it!", Sofia grunted as she limped but someone held her arm, picking her up quickly.
Sofia looked up to see who it was.
"Ryker...?", Sofia asked as the voices around her began to get muffled and her vision blur until she saw nothing.

'GASP'
Sofia immediately sat, waking up with a shock. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"You're lucky you're alive.", A gruff voice came from a dark figure leaning against the wall, hardly visible to see due to the shadows.
Sofia ran a hand through her hair as she looked at her thigh.
"Thanks for patching me up...who are you?", she asked.
The dark figure smirked before taking steps forward, coming into the light.
"Argh...", Sofia grunted as she rolled her eyes. "You of all people...", Sofia began to grumble.
"Ungrateful, much?"Ryker chuckled as he tilted his head to the side.
"Oh, very.", Sofia answered sarcastically as she glared at him.
Sofia tried standing up and began to take a step forward but fell on the ground groaning.
"Damn it.", She muttered under her breath.
"Well...I guess this ungrateful person can walk upstairs now.", Ryker shrugged before leaving her alone.
"Hey! Wait up! At least tell me how long I was out for!", Sofia called out and Ryker stopped midway.
"Nine years.", Ryker answered before he could continue walking.
"Bull shit.", Sofia stated.
"I see no bulls around. Maybe you should go and get more rest or get your eyes checked up-"
