     Hearing bones crack caused you to internally cringe upon the contact of Zero's knee with the man's jaw. You were pretty sure, more than anything, that he wouldn't have to ability to talk from then on. "Seven duck!", Six's voice echoed as your reflex followed to his call, a man was thrown carelessly over your head towards another. Hearing footsteps behind you, a small glance was all it took for you to attack from bellow, seeing it was an enemy who attempted to approach you unseen. Your augs had activated since you don't know when, but you couldn't stop to think about that now that you're in the middle of punching a man's nose.

     "Nine! We need to get out! More KAIROS Ops are on their way here right now!" Nine placed a finger to his coms, hearing Three's sudden outburst. "B-buy us some time! I need to evacuate Alpha." Now turning to Five, the closest one to at the moment, Nine yelled to him and successfully caught his attention. "Five!", he quickly turned to face him, his augs still activated and his eyes glowing a wild, terrifying orange. "Tell Eight we need to escape! Pri managed to call for backup. We wouldn't stand a chance if they get here before we get out!" Five caught on what his leader meant and ushered to tell the Siren, coming back for him to lend him a helping hand. Nine grunted, the wound still leaking from his back. "Four! Initiate evacuation! KAIROS Ops are heading here right now!" Nine called through his coms, knowing if he yelled in open air, the assassin wouldn't hear him anyway. "What!? But we almost got them!"

     "We need to go! We'll be outnumbered and I am not risking any of us getting caught!" Nine yelled, "Aish! One, get Seventeen out of here! We gotta go, NOW!". Left with no choice, Alpha started heading out, hoping to leave before Pri or Mags even notice. Six had pulled on your shoulder, yelling the change of plans as you had been too focused on beating the shit out of Chariot.

     You got up in an instant, but dust and smoke covered the area as the Dome shook. Just outside were the KAIROS Ops who fired an explosion towards the only exit. You felt arms shielding you from danger as the explosion subsided. The ceiling shook and crumbled with after shocks. Six coughed out as he gently released you from his grip, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. "*coughs*... We gotta get outta here..." you heard him mutter as he stood up. You push yourself up, but an eerie feeling of pain shot through your leg, "Agh! Wha- Shit!!"

     Your outburst caused Six to furrow his brows as he looked back at you. He had protected anything that could've fallen over your head, but a huge piece of glass from the Dome's ceiling had cut through your left leg's calf. He quickly examined the wound but shook his head, "Do you think you can stand?... It cut you too deep..." You fought the tears brimming from your eyes and willed yourself to get up. You gasped feeling your leg give in but Six caught you and held your arm over his shoulder. "You gotta bear with it for now, ok? Come on... Nine!? Four!??"

     The Dome was no longer lit in light but silhouettes were walking around looking for the way out. "Seven!!" You perked up hearing Zero's voice somewhere to your right and called him back, "Zero!! We're here!", Six moved towards where he heard him too, hoping to bump into him in the smoke. Six stopped walking , however, and pulled his mask over his face, the smoke didn't seem to fade out and made it harder to breathe. You started coughing as well but you didn't have a mask with you, forcing you to endure it for a while. Your vision was getting blurry because of mid suffocation, but you had to look for the others before you let yourself faint. "Six! Can you hear me!? Is Seven with you?" Four's voice sounded in the open coms, "Yeah! But she's injured and I don't know where to go. I don't see the exit or the entrance anywhere."
