Entertainment

Barry is still in critical condition while being treated at the N.E.S.T HQ. After a few hours of medical attention, Lieutenant Carol sat outside waiting. Dr. White finally came out of the surgery rooms, lt. Carol approaches Dr. White "How's the condition?" lt. Carol asked. "Well, despite the condition when being brought in. He's fit as a fiddle." Dr. White smiles at LT. Carol, patted her shoulder and walked away. As the Dr. White walked away, lt. Carol still has doubts about Dr. White. "What's that geezer planning? What has he done to Barry? And what's that Suit? There are still many holes that need to be filled.." While LT. Carol in deep thought, Finally Barry was pushed out from the surgery room lt. Carol looks at Barry as he has been moved to another ward. 

As Three weeks has finally passed, Barry finally wakes up. The first thing Barry sees is LT. Carol sitting beside his bed "Lieutenant…" said Barry as he was still very weak. LT. Carol noticed Barry had woken up "Hey, don't move too much OK. You still haven't fully recovered yet." said LT. Carol, "Did I take it down?" asked Barry. "The Number? Yeah, you took it down." LT. Carol replies, Barry sighs in relief "Thank god."

"Yeah, Thank god you didn't die in that fight," said LT. Carol flicks Barry's forehead "Roger that!" Barry replied with a salute and a big smile on his face. Suddenly the Alarm started Ringing " ALERT! ALERT! NUMBER APPEARANCE" Barry tried to get off the bed after hearing the alarm but still couldn't move from the injury. "No need to rush, just stay there and leave this to us to handle" said LT. Carol with a smile left the room. LT. Carol arrives at the spot, and one of the N.E.S.T. soldiers approaches her. 

Carol "Status report, what's the current situation?" 

"current casualties 3 persons, all are N.E.S.T soldiers and no civilian casualties yet." N.E.S.T. soldier replies.

Carol [disbelief] "Only 3 persons ?!"

"Yes, Lieutenant" the N.E.S.T. soldier replies.

Carol saw the Number in human form from afar, as an old man holding a katana while sitting on the ground. While LT. Carol walked towards the Number and was stopped by one of the N.E.S.T soldiers "Stop right there Lieutenant" LT. Carol asked, "Why?". "Because beyond this point is this number strike zone. Anything that passes this point will be shredded to pieces." LT. Carol looked at the Number and both of their eyes met, while the Number smiled back towards LT. Carol. LT. Carol without hesitation walks into the strike zone, "Wait!!, lieutena–" one of the N.E.S.T soldiers tries to stop LT.Carol.

Carol finally is inside the strike zone parameter, but nothing happens to her. "What? Just happened" the N.E.S.T. soldier is in disbelief, "tell the others not to approach the strike zone, this is just the Number doings. He will still strike the others who enter the parameter." said LT. Carol "Roger that!!" N.E.S.T. soldier replies.

"Why you didn't strike me like the others?" LT. Carol asked.

"Because they don't even post entertainment for me." The Number replied with a smile and stood up.

"What did you just say?!" LT. Carol is pissed off by the Number statement.

"Owh, no need to bother about what I just said, this is all just entertainment before the real show." said the Number. On LT. Carol thought "The real show?!, what does that even mean." The Number pulled out the katana and showed his Number in his left hand. LT. Carol is shocked by the Number shown on his hand, The Number shows 55. While in LT. Carol coms "Lieutenant, bad news. That one is twin digit, permission granted for retreat and wait for backup!!", LT. Carol chuckles "It's okay, I Will take down that Number.". "But, Liuetena–" LT. Carol turned off the comms. LT. Draws his katana too "Now where were we" look toward Number 55, "A katana, what a coincidence. You better make this fight entertaining" said Number 55.
