After walking some distance, Riley put the unconscious Sandy down with his back against the wall. Riley set him straight then, looking at his miserable condition; eyes black and purple from tanking all those punches, scrapes and bruises all over his body, his torn red T-shirt revealing the wound in his gut, his broken leg, looking like a saperate part of body and the dripping blood, all that made Riley let out a sigh of exasperation. So then he tore his black robe and started to patch him that made Sandy gain consciousness abit. As soon as he did, he tried to speak.
"He-henry.... Weevil"
His tired voice broke as he tried to speak.
"Dont speak, it's not good right now!"
Riley warned him.
Just then Riley heard some footsteps approaching towards them from his back. He instantly got prepared but it was just the members of the Blad theif gang who had gone astray from Arkas's gang.
As they did, reunited with their old boss, explained to him their situation, Riley handed over Sandy to them and sent them towards the location they just came from to collect Henry and Weevil. So they all, following the orders, went ahead.
After their footsteps vanished faintly, Riley also advanced in the direction he was supposed to. After walking down some distance finally, a junction appeared. That junction ended the straight route that Riley followed and diverged the path into two paths — right and left. Now Riley was alone, after contemplating for some moments and making up a mini map in his own mind, he chose to go towards the left direction. He ran full speed in that direction until a steel door blocked his way. Yet he didn't stop, he kicked that door open in a rush. As soon as he opened that door, punches and bullets of all four famous attributes attacked him mutliple times. He dodged and blocked each time until his back was against the corner. Them the attackers revealed themselves, it was an enormously huge pack of the members of Chained Dogs. As if there to let no one pass ahead.

Inside the central hospital of the Fade City, Anastasia was kept inside the ICU, as she was unconscious and faced constant difficulty in breathing. Yet even in that condition, with an oxygen mask on her face, Anastasia woke up and immediately recalled what Stincer had told her moments before she fainted.
"Oh... And your friendsss?? They will soon be loaded on the truck and taken ahead where you can never hope to enter."
Those words ran through her mind. As she sat up quickly, removed all her drips and the oxygen, which also woke up a nurse who was tending to her. That nurse forced her to stay quiet down but Anastasia didnt care. She put Aqua handcuffs on her hands as well as her mouth and ran outside in the patient's outfit. In the lobby of the hospital, she met the BTG members whom had brought her there. All 7 of them that sat there stood up suddenly as Ana came and advised her to go back to her unit and suddenly an uproar was created there. As everyone there tried to stop Anastasia who did not care about herself nor the doctors at the moment. She took 3 members with her and left 4 there to be attendants for the other BTG members.
As she ran out of the hospital she explained to them the situation.
"How long would it take for us to reach the Diocese from here?
She asked in a frenzy.
All the three members that had come with her were completwly bewildered her actions, her selflessness of how she cared about the children more than her dire state. It arose a sense of disappointment and regret in them along with the burdening sense of responsibility of the children that drove them.
"Hello Miss Ana! My name is Uzuka! It will probably take us 10 minutes, if we ran on full speed, but given your condition i don't think we will be able to make it in time!"
Uzuka, a member of the BTG said.
"Perfect! We'll make it in 7 then! Thanks for your calculations Uzuka! Now if you guys are coming with me then you should better catch up!"
Anastasia said as she ran full speed in the direction of the Diocese again, now filled with tears and empathy to reach their and save her comrades that Stincer had mentioned.

Riley brushed off his hands as that enormous lot wasn't worth more then dust to him then he opened the door that the lot seemed to protect so dearly, thinking Ice might be there, Riley was geared up. Yet as he opened the door no one was there. He walked straight down and the lights started to fade, the pathway became darker and darker and the sewers seemed to have ended as the water beneath him was now replaced by a marble floor. There was a staunch smell, increasing as he went ahead towards the pitch darkness. Riley recognized that smell, it was the smell of blood, that had become so thick, it had dried the water and was now stuck on that floor giving it a dark reddish color. Riley's eyes sharpened as he sensed something — It was same sort of wave that Sandy had felt as he came down rushing to maze. Yet it meant nothing to him as he continued to walk into that seemingly dark abyss. Then suddenly he started to sense something similar. So he ran, finally he saw an opening, the door to that opening wa salready broken lying ahead on the ground. Through that opening, Riley saw the extent of the prowess of the extremes. He saw two monsters going at it as wildly as it could. That sight, the pressure it was so overwhelming that Riley was covered in sweat just watching from an opening, he got Goosebumps and shivers ran down his spine.
Yet he indured and tried to intervene, he took some steps and entered the play area where they fought. It was the intense battle of Eiser and Drew whom had been fighting for the past half an hour and yet neither of the two showed any sign of exhaustion.
Eiser's eyes were prominent blue, electric sparks had covered his body as he rushed at him full speed to attack him, and so did Drew, who was also equally excited yet he exerted lesser strength than that of Eiser and still blocked him flawlessly.
Riley saw them both in complete awe and didn't even think of helping Eiser out, just then the metal door that lay behind Riley got up and flew in the air, just past Riley it went straight to Drew's hand. Riley's mouth sharpened as he saw that and he took a gulp.
Then Drew molded that pice of metal into thick metal sword and charged at Eiser with it. Eiser created a sword from electricty in defence and tried to retaliate yet that sword broke ever so easily and Drew's unsharpened sword hit him right at his chest, some of his chest bones broke as it did and he cought out blood and was sent back flying some distance. Eiser fell down and struggled to get back up, yet now he completely realised the difference of strength between him and Drew.
Drew walked slowly towards him with tip of his sword sharpening on the ground.
"Lucky it wasn't sharpened. Huh.... Now you know thw true reason why no onw has ever been able to beat be. Do you not? And why you wont be able to beat me too Eiser!"
He said, demeaning Eiser.
Eiser got back up on his feet and blood started to come out of his forehead.
"Perhaps you dont understand how it all works. Good thing I was taught everything!"
He said as he then created an electric spear to attack him. It clashed with Drew's sword amd broke again and Eiser was sent flying back yet this time he landed safely.
"Hehe.... Perhaps its you who doesnt understand! I am Electricty aswell! You CANNOT DEFEAT ME!!"
he said and charged straight away at Eiser with his sword.
As Eiser saw him approaching he quickly created an Electric Spark and threw it at him yet he picked that Spark and threw it back at Eiser, whi dofged it just in time and got back. But little did Eiser know Drew instantly created an Electrifying Thunderstorm there and electrocuted him. Eiser was fried after that attack and spit out blood but Drew didnt stop and charged at him with his sword in an intent to finiah him off.
"You were not so bad!"
He said as he slashed yet just in time Riley threw him away by creating a mini tornado right where he stood.
Eiser also stabilized himself and grinned as he saw him. Riley stood just beside Eiser ready to take his revenge.
"Well... Welll.... Look who it is.... Errands Boy! Well.... Boy i don't have anything for you to do right now so why dont don't you get the hell away from my sight!
Drew said, enraged as he also got up again.
