Finding Rayla

Stephenson yelled at him before he laughed "Haha, you're just a kid!". Stephenson sighed with relief and his scared expression was lost. "Kid, I'm sorry to tell you, but I can't be blamed for everything that happens here. You can't seek revenge because someone died for you, everyone dies at some point".

"If you promise to forget what you saw today I might forgive you for breaking the window" Stephenson obviously misunderstood. Thinking that Joey might have broken the window when he got in here out of anger.

"I'm here for your life and whatever you're hiding down there" Joey took his spear off his back and pointed towards him.

"How D-did you get in here?" Stephenson asked when he finally took note of the layout of the broken glass. The fact that no one came when he asked for guard started to rack his mind on what was going on, he couldn't understand.

What was the loud banging outside?

Where are the guards!

Joey never answered and thrust his spear toward Stephenson, it moved like a snake toward Stepheson's face. Stephenson's clumsiness saved him as he stumbled backwards.

Joey quickly stood over him ready to kill him but he shouted "Wait, I'll give you anything you want…..You want to go down there right? you can go"

Joey looked over at the elevator from the ground but before he could do anything, Stephenson sprayed something straight into Joey's eyes that felt like a potent pepper spray and he fled down into the elevator.

"Dammit-!"

Joey's eyes began to water and counteract the substance, but he never let it slow him down. He slid into the elevator that was going underground. Stephenson uses Joey slack of sight to tussle him to the ground. He was able to keep this up until the elevator doors opened and he ran out.

"Fucking cheap asshole," he seethed under his breath as he walked out of the elevator. His body washed out the foreign substance and he was finally able to see again.

He saw Stepheson running away, Stephenson stripped and over a table. He scribbled toward the wall and pulled down a fencing blade and shouted "C'mon fool! En Garde"

He thrust his fencing blade and Joey jumped out of its range. The blade carried a heavy pressure around and could tell it carried immense power. "Is this fool really awakened?" Joey remembered Mila talking about how he would lose against him and thought it was likely.

Joey didn't know that Stephenson wasn't able to Reach further in his cultivation because he lacked enough talent.

Joey sidestepped multiple times to confuse Stephenson. He slashed his spear toward Stephenson and as he started to dodge he quickly thrust his spear as he was in mid-air. The spear punctured his lower abdomen and left a sizable hole.

"Dammit your good kid, but you'll need more than that to kill me!" Stephenson shouted as he took a bottle out of his lab coat. He crushed the container and swallowed the contents. The hole in his abdomen started to close itself and scabbed over.

Joey cursed himself for not being able to find a finishing blow. After the contents were emptied, Stephenson rushed headfirst toward Joey.

Their weapons clanged against each other as they battled inside the room. It was fierce, Joey was surprised how strong Stephenson was. After drawing blood from each other's cheeks, Stephenson stepped back. He took something out of his pocket again.

The action alone made Joey mad, he tried to pierce his hand but he still managed to get the pill in his mouth. Joey kicked him away in frustration, He ran to the door on the other end. Joey was sure his sister had to be behind them.

He thrust holes into the lock mechanism and it shorted the circuit causing it to open. He ran in and saw his sister laying on a bed. But his sister looked pale and sickly, her lips were dry and cracked and she had machines inside her that pierced into her body.

7 mins earlier, at the main entrance. Mila rushed toward the main entrance where she stood.

"Stop right there, If you go further you will pay with your life!", shouted two-guard from behind her.

Mila took a look behind her and took down the two guards that were shouting. She paid them no mind, and as they came too close she flipped the closer one and threw the other into the building.

They made a lot of rackets, soon more guards in the Hospital came out to her and were met with the same fate as the other two.

All this time she hadn't spoken a single word.

Patients and people started to look out and some moved their cars in fear of them being damaged. She stood in front of the entrance, she was waiting for something or someone.

Later someone came out in a scrub uniform "Who the hell is attacking my hospital" the man grunted. He looked arrogant as he looked down at Mila.

He siled widely at her body, "I guess it's not so bad, we can have a little fun after" he pulled off his scrub uniform to show his strong muscles.

"It's sad that a hospital is controlled by scum like you," Mila said in her menacing voice.

The man cringed and said, "We might have to do something about the voice, but you don't have to talk". Although he said this, he was quite sceptical. What connection did she have with Enigma 7? Or was she just grasping loose straws?

Either way, he was sent to monitor the hospital and keep them under supervision. Something like this happening on his watch was not tolerated.

This feeling was reciprocated by other members of Enigma 7 that gathered around to watch their brethren fight.

"Dammit, I should be the one to take her, that bastard Hoens is damn lucky"

"That bastard owes me money so I don't have to worry about her, he can do all the work and I can promise to forget about his debts"

"I just want to slice her up, dissecting a body like that would be marvellous"

The other Enigma 7 spies were thinking of lewd realities in their mind.
