Alyssa and Eleanor watched from a distance as the island burned. The explosion had wiped out the command center, but they knew it wasn't the end. The Shroud was more than just one facility, one leader. But they had struck a critical blow.
"We did it," Eleanor said quietly, though her voice carried a weight of uncertainty.
Alyssa nodded, her eyes still fixed on the burning wreckage. "We've crippled them, but it's not over. The world still needs to know the truth."
Marcus's voice came over the comms. "Nice work. We've intercepted transmissions—The Shroud is in chaos. Without their core, they're scrambling."
Alyssa took a deep breath. "Then we keep the pressure on. We expose everything. The world needs to see who they really are."
Eleanor glanced at Alyssa. "Ready for the next chapter?"
Alyssa's eyes narrowed with determination. "Let's finish this."
The helicopter arrived to take them back to base, but Alyssa's mind was already on the next step. The Shroud's reach was vast, but they had proven it wasn't invincible. Now, it was time to turn the tide and end its grip on the world once and for all.
