Kampung Paya Lebar, near UiTm Rembau - 10.00pm

It was a peaceful night at the oil palm plantation when 5 children were running around in the middle of the night playing tags when they should be sleeping.  Somewhere in the complete darkness, they overheard a creaking sound echoing far out. One of the kids took a step back, afraid while three of them moves up to take a closer look. Then, they saw a giant truck flew by and hits the ground close to the kids. All 5 of them cowered the moment the truck fell down. The children took a peak and saw a man comes out of the car bleeding before he was dragged away into the dark. The kids became cold feet, unable to move due to too much fear in them. A figure comes out of the shadow. They see a masked man wearing a dark robe. His bodies are donned with dark iron-clacd armor with bullet marks etched all over. He looks at the children, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Aren't you kids supposed to be sleeping right now?" the man asked the children in lower tone. The children were too afraid to speak until one of them, a girl raises her voice, "We were just playing tag! You can't tell us what to do!" As soon as she boldly said it, he draws out his pistol and shoots the person that was holding a machete behind him which spooked them. "That is what will show up if you kids keep playing here in the middle of the night without adults watching over you. Do you want that to happen?" All of the kids went silent and shake their heads in unison. The man nods and said, "Good. Now go home." After the children ran away from the scene, he turns around and rushes into the shadows were the battle is still underway.

Deep within the plantation, sparks of bullets trace from the left shooting something that is running towards the shooters. Another masked man wearing a dark hoodie with the same dark iron-clad armor run straight to the shooters with bullets deflecting from the armor left and right. He dashes towards one of the shooters and punches him in the stomach as the gloves glowed blue color. The shooter were pushed back hard that he collided with one of the jeeps. "Jack!" A voice hailed him. "Kimi! There's a few stranglers 400 meter from me!" Hearing that report, 10 stranglers that were attempting to run away from the fight, gets ambushed from behind as Haqimi appeared spraying bullets in a whirlwind form. As he drops down he sprints towards the shooters that are close to him, points the pistol at their forehead and pulls the trigger. One shooter after another, he kills anything that is deemed a threat. "Already dealt with. Rendezvous to you." 

Izat is priming up his gauntlet to attack at full strength, triggering his first stage while at it. Once fully primed, he sprints to two shooters near him and slams them to the ground. Without a second of breather, he went to his next target to his right and gives his target a jab that splatters his face completely. Then, he focuses his next target after a second pause and he kept continued. Meanwhile, Haqimi walks casually while shoots his enemies both those from afar and those that closes to him. Underneath the mask, his face is plain - unable to tell what kind of emotion he is showing. Although no emotion is showing, the presence of killing intent is still there. As the fight is nearly at the beginning of the climax, Haqimi and Izat cross paths with each other and started killing the enemies around them. Haqimi kills 4 while Izat kills 3. Then, Haqimi kills 6 while Izat kills 7. This is repeated and randomises until all of them are fallen. Few minutes of silence, a man comes out of hiding wielding a kris tries to strike the two of them only to get stabbed in the back from behind. Haqimi and Izat turns around at the ready when they heard a sword stab as the person behind the dead man pulls out his blade.

Both of them were astounded. "Jeja?! What the hell are you doing here?!" Izat exclaimed. The man that backstabbed the enemy, goes by the name Zarith Halimin, walks up to him and responds to his question as he pushes the body. "I was going to ask you the same thing. What're you two doing here?" He points to Jack. "You're supposed to be at the campus." Izat jokingly raises his elbow. Zarith then points at Haqimi. "And you're supposed to be in Kelantan." "And always will be." he teases Zarith as he grins. He holstered his pistols when all three of them regroup. "Well I can't tell you the details yet on my end. Too many eyes and ears. We have to go somewhere remote." said Zarith. Haqimi nods. "My place, then. Everything's cleared from prying eyes." Izat replied. With all three are in an agreement, they stealthly went to Izat's place.
