Wash groans as he looks at his bloodied hands. He spots Doc lying by the Warthog, and a blurry black figure in the distance.

Washington: It can't be....Tex?

Wash dives for his gun, but is stopped by Tex planting her boot on his wrist.

Washington: You're supposed to be dead.

Tex: Don't sound so disappointed. You'll make me cry. Where's the Director?

Washington: The Director? How would I know that?

Tex: (tuts) Wrong answer....

She then hears rapid footsteps and sees the Meta running at her, only to be tackled to the side and thrown across the field by Slade.

Slade: This ends today, you son of a bitch!

The Meta snarls and they rush at each other, trading blows. Slade knees the Meta twice before bringing his hands down and bashing the Meta into the ground.

Tex: Cal! Move!

Tex activates a detonator and sets off some explosives by her feet, revealing a powerful chain gun which she grabs in midair before swinging it towards the Meta and opening fire. Slade rolls away as the Meta runs across the field before diving behind an icy boulder. Behind her, Wash gets to his feet and whips out the capture unit, unveiling a large spike.

At that moment, Tex's gun runs out of ammo and the Meta takes this moment to return fire with his pistol. Tex ducks behind an icy stalagmite, smashes through the ice and draws out an assault rifle and a battle rifle which she fires at the Meta. Wash runs up to her and thrusts the unit's spike at her, parrying one of her guns away, but she ducks the blow and knocks it out of his hands.

Washington: NO! (He dives for it, preventing it from going over into an abyss) Be more careful, this thing can't take any more hits!

Slade grabs Wash from out of nowhere and holds him over his head before throwing him several yards away.

Slade: And neither will you, once I'm through with you, ya bastard!

Doc runs up to Epsilon.

Doc: Church! Are you okay?

Epsilon: She fuckin' shot me! What is wrong with her?

Doc: She did? That's what brought us to you!

Epsilon: I know! She meant to do that!

Doc: Well she's paying for it now.

Meta has Tex pinned to the ground, trying to wrestle her gun away but she kicks him backwards towards a wall of ice. As Washington rejoins his colleague, she jumps to her feet and pulls out another detonator.

Washington: Is that a...

Tex presses the button and a loud beeping starts behind them. Wash and the Meta spin around and see a row of mines built into the wall

Washington: ...Mountain?

The mines go off and the wall shatters into huge blocks that go tumbling towards the two ex-Freelancers, who set off running. Wash stabs at Tex again with the unit but she ducks aside and kicks him away. Then the Meta charges forward, picking up the unit.

Washington: Meta, take it! Hit her!

As the icicle blocks crash around them, the Meta grabs the unit and swings out at Tex, but she ducks away. Wash then leaps up to do a jump-kick at Tex's head but she dodges and flings him to the ground, with Wash grabbing Tex's battle rifle before he falls. Slade grabs his pistols and repeatedly shoots at them, making Wash and the Meta dive behind and over chunks of ice. The Meta then kicks Tex in the chest, right under a huge shard of ice before knocking Slade's pistols and kicking him across the field. Quickly, Tex rolls away to avoid getting crushed, but the Meta kicks it out at her. Luckily, she jumps onto it and flips away.
