During the cold late hours of the night, a pair of eyes blinked open, as it squinted to adapt to the dim lighting. Leo slowly stood up; he looked outside, as the silver light from the moon illuminated the darkroom a little. Like Clark, he also found an excuse to keep his bag. His lie was even more extreme, as he lied that the bag was his family heirloom. The terrorists didn’t fuss about it, as they’ve seen even more eccentric individuals. He stood up and silently moved to where he kept his bag, as he quickly checked his wristwatch for time. “It’s 540 am already,” he muttered silently to himself, as he donned his exotic armor and all his other equipment stealthily. He quickly equipped his throwing knives in designated places in his armor. He felt nostalgic as he finally wore his military equipment again, after more than a month of wearing only his camouflaged cadet uniform. He already made elaborate plans for this attack. He knew exactly what to do, as he went to a corner where he brought out another bag. He grinned when he saw the stolen rope and grenade perfectly kept and in order. He stole the grenade when he was among the batch of soldiers to get the weekly equipment supplies for the base, outside the town. He only took one grenade for himself, as he was afraid of his cover being blown if he took more. He quickly brought out the grenade and the rope, as he silently went back to where his roommates slept. He placed the grenade down; he tied the rope to one of the soldier’s uniforms while attaching the other end to the tip of the grenade. After this, he silently opened the door and moved outside as he started executing his well-laid-out plans. The police station of this town opened around 630 in the morning. His plan largely revolved around the police force, as a place to lean on when the going gets too tough. He navigated expertly to where the 2 new high-grade soldiers slept. What came as a relief, as well as a surprise to him, was that the 2 new high-grade soldiers were brothers. He deduced after seeing how intimately they slept, the familiarity they exuded, and the pictures on the wall. They slept in the same room; this information was not recorded in the base’s database. He still dreaded and resented the organization, as a lot of their set-ups already made him revise his plans countless times. But he could always adjust in time, thanks to his hacking device. The headquarters of the terrorist organization gives a life-detection device to all their bases, which stays with the commander of the base at all times. With this, any death in the base can easily be detected by the device. Its effect is instant, as it quickly sounds an alarm to alert all the soldiers of the base when it records any death. Clark can be said to be lucky, as the life detection device of the base he joined was faulty. This is why Leo aimed at the high-grade soldiers first, as they will give him more points. And the fight would be much harder when the whole base is alerted by the alarm. A different reason fueled Clark’s decisions to start with high-grade soldiers, but it was still because the fight would be harder when others are alerted. After moving for who knew how long, he finally arrived at the window to the room where the 2 siblings slept. He checked the time and it was already 3 minutes after 600 am. “It’s now or never,” he silently muttered, as his sabotage officially started. He brought out one of his daggers, which he used in cutting an opening silently in the glass window. He stealthily went inside, directly approaching the sibling’s location. He got distracted a little when he saw the extravagance of the sibling’s room. He sighed, “High-grade soldiers are really treated on a different level entirely, compared to normal soldiers”. This didn’t cause him to linger in one place though, as he quickly approached his targets. After reaching a reasonable distance, he acted decisively, as he stabbed the closer sibling on the neck. Ptui!! The dagger connected accurately, as the soldier struggled while quickly waking up. The brother was already awake from the short sound, as he directly rolled down from the bed. Leo threw his other dagger at him, but his target dodged while moving further backward. He ignored him, as he focused back on restraining and killing the first target. His target’s struggle didn’t last, as he used his sharp dagger to cleanly remove his head. Blood spurted out of his dead target’s neck in batches, dyeing his uniform red, as he turned to face his last opponent. Wom!! Wom!! Wom!! The alarm sounded, ringing glaringly across the base, as all the soldiers were aroused up from their sleep. The other sibling already understood the situation, as he shouted in anger at seeing his brother’s corpse. Quickly retrieving his sword, he advanced with momentum to meet his assaulter. Leo welcomed him, as he kept his dagger while also unsheathing his sword. They immediately started exchanging strikes, as he drew the first blood, giving his opponent 2 deep cuts on the elbow and knee. “Ahh!!” The soldier shouted, while reflexively recoiling back in pain, as his brain quickly became clear. “What?? A high-grade soldier equipped with an exotic armor, who is this?” He was shocked, as he questioned inwardly with dread and resentment. His courage immediately took a nose dive downwards, but his pride as a high-grade soldier pushed him to attack again in frenzy. But this time, with greater caution. … Somewhere else in the terrorist base, in a room, after the alarm rang 4 soldiers quickly rose alarmed as they questioned each other. “Are we under an attack?” Due to their confusion, they didn’t notice that their roommate was absent. And most especially, they didn’t notice the grenade whose lid just snapped open, as the rope was stretched by one of the soldiers standing up. Boom!! The room exploded, as the hot, scorching red fire rapidly engulfed everything. The special structure of the terrorist building contained the fire to that room, preventing the explosion from affecting other rooms. In this short moment that the battle just started, 4 terrorist soldiers were already wiped out, without them knowing why nor how they died. This explosion only confirmed that they were under an attack, as the whole base mobilized their strength. All soldiers quickly went to their posts to defend the base, not knowing that the attack was from inside the base. Clang!! Clang!! Clang!! Whoosh!! After about 2 minutes of fighting, Leo finally beheaded the other high-grade soldier, as he quickly picked his dagger while silently going outside. He felt panic gradually seeping in, as he figured that he spent more time than he estimated in the previous fight. Despite this, he forcefully calmed himself, as his brain went on overdrive calculating. His calculated escape route was already blocked, as the soldiers would have blocked all the exits by now. He sheathed his sword back while activating his camouflage device, as he decided to blend into the normal soldiers. Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu! Unfortunately, things became complicated, as bullets sprayed at his armor. His figure was blown back from the force, as he was shot at repeatedly by an unknown shooter.
