Two days until the auction.
One day until the auction.
Six hours until the auction.
Three hours until the auction.
Thirty minutes until the auction.

The little clock kept going off in your mind, counting down how much time left before the next massacre that you were going to have to partake in.

Feitan has been nothing but kind to you the last few days, he knew how tense you were, it was obvious. Speaking to you in a soft tone, offering to go take walks outside with you, sitting on the roof and talking about your emotions, he really wanted the best for you.

And now here everyone was, gathered at the main entrance of the hideout, ready to split up and approach the auction house from all directions. You had been assigned to the back parking lot with Pakunoda. The two of you had composed a plan of you knocking people out, and Paku actually killing them so you wouldn't have the same reaction as the first auction.

As you two begin to approach closer to the parking lot, you begin to see the guards with guns more clearly. Around 25 scattered around the parking lot, more will probably arrive after hearing the commotion, you analyzed.

"Ready?" You hear Pakunoda ask.

"Yup, there's not many people here," you respond back.

As you two come closer to the guards, you spin your watch, conjuring up a tranquilizer gun with multiple tranquilizers. Pakunoda gives you the okay signal and you begin to shoot them unconscious one by one.

As the guards drop down onto the floor, Paku rounds them up to lean towards the wall. Right after you shoot the final guard unconscious, you make your way behind a tree and put your hands over your ears.

This was when Pakunoda was going to take care of the unconscious bodies. You guys could have just left them on the ground asleep, sure, but Chrollo would deem that too risky. One bullet at a time, you hear the faint sound of Paku firing her gun.

The familiar feeling of panic begins to set in again, before it completely takes over, you feel a hand on your shoulder. "Come on, let's go," says Paku. Relieved that she came in time, you follow her around the building to see how the others were doing.

The two of you meet up with Chrollo, Kortopi, Machi, Franklin, Shizuoka, and Feitan. Kortopi had just finished creating a fake clone of Machi, as according to plan.

The media would never rest after this auction, knowing that the Phantom Troupe was still out there, so Chrollo came up with the idea of Kortopi creating clones of all the identified members to fake their deaths. As he finishes creating a dead, bloody version of Feitan, you can't help but feel the panic sensation return. It wasn't the sight of blood that had you feeling uneasy, but the image of Feitan dead.

As you hear Phinks approach the group with news that everyone has been taken out, your world fades to black.
