Comming to the present
Sepharine commanded her guards to focus their weapons on Alex, the assassin standing defiantly before her.
"Are you all out of your minds? Don't you enjoy living?" Suddenly, from behind, one guard lunged at Alex with a crowbar. The weapon bent and nearly shattered against Alex's formidable strength and resilient physique.
"Drop your weapon or face the consequences. Three, two, one... zero. Hehe." One guard, trembling with fear, reluctantly lowered his gun, his shock deepening as he realized that all the guards around him had been swiftly eliminated. The entire scene unfolded so seamlessly and rapidly that he could hardly comprehend what had just happened.
"Is this really the best they could send to take me down?" Sepharine mocked, her voice unwavering despite the charged atmosphere.
Alex tightened his jaw, responding, "You've caused enough chaos, Sepharine. This ends now."
In a heartbeat, chaos erupted. Sepharine flicked her wrist, sending a small spherical device soaring from her sleeve. It detonated mid-air, enveloping the room in thick smoke. Alex activated his thermal visor, scanning for any signs of movement as bullets from Sepharine's wrist-mounted pistols zipped through the fog. He nimbly dodged, rolling behind a console for cover.
In retaliation, Alex unleashed a swarm of micro-drones from a device on his arm. They buzzed aggressively, homing in on Sepharine's location. With a sly grin, she pressed a button on her belt, releasing a high-frequency EMP pulse that sent the drones crashing to the ground.
"Impressive," Alex conceded, his voice low and strained. He emerged from his hiding spot, firing a grappling hook from his gauntlet. It snagged Sepharine's belt, yanking her forward with a powerful tug. She stumbled but quickly regained her footing, using her combat skills to twist in mid-air and deliver a brutal kick to Alex's jaw. He reeled back but swiftly drew a hidden blade from his arm, slashing in one smooth motion.
Sepharine executed an acrobatic flip, landing gracefully atop a steel pillar. Her silhouette was striking against the dim light as she brandished electrified batons, the crackling energy illuminating her fierce expression. She leapt down, unleashing a rapid series of strikes. Sparks erupted as Alex parried with his blade, their weapons clashing in a deadly dance.
