When Sable awoke, he found himself and the others locked in a large freezer. Since it was dark, he turned on his scroll and used it as a torch to illuminate his area of the freezer.

He was thankful that the freezer was either turned off or on low power, because otherwise he would freeze to death. But it was common knowledge that Selena had also wired an explosive charge on the outside door to prevent escape.

''Damn! How are we going to get out!?''

But, he had to stop panicking, and think. He activated his Aura to mitigate some of the pain, and he saw that he only had one SMG on person, as his right hand was on the gun, finger under the trigger.

He had also figured out Selena's little trick: She controlled electiric wires within her immediate proximity, but he had to figure out how far it went. And technically, the bomb was on the outside, so that other people couldn't break them free ...

"Hey guys," Sable called out. "I have an idea on how to get out," pointing at the inside lock ... --- Vert and Ash were sprinting along the back alleys of the cafe, noticing a bloodbath of White Truth corpses.

"Pieter sure did a good job," Vert mused as he turned the knob. "We should wait to neutralize the bomb before we finish off that she-witch. And remember, no melee." --- Pieter and Lyko stood ready for Vale and Selena, along with a few of her remaining henchmen.

''Shit, I didn't expect her to come in too. That puts another monkey wrench into this mess.''

But he had other plans.

"Lyko, remember to keep her entertained. But don't get too close. I've got something to take care of."

"Aww, where are you going? I thought you wanted to get me so badly," Selena teased.

"Before I go, I always had a question for you. If you wanted to meet your daughter so badly, why did you visit this place not once, but two times? And right after the ravaging and murders of the cops you killed, too. Think about that," Pieter asked as he slowly backed away... --- As the back door was opened, several goons were waiting for the two boys.

Vert, however, was having none of it.

He impaled one goon, and threw his corpse on another. He pulled out Order, loaded with Lightning Dust, and shot her body, giving her a nasty electrocution, finishing off the job with an Ice round to the head, encasing her skull in a suffocating block of ice.

As Ash took on several grunts by himself, Vert then bodyslammed another grunt, to the wall and snapped his neck. A fourth with a sword came in, swinging furiously at Vert, though a leg sweep and a pistol whip to the head had done him in.

Three more charged at Vert, though Pieter had come in and tackled one to the floor. He then left Vert to perform a takedown by slamming her head against the wall, knocking her out and leaving her with a damaged brain, as Pieter slashed another's throat. Vert finished off the last grunt by strangling the life out of her.

As the three boys regrouped, they now had to figure out how to take care of the bomb and free their comrades.

Pieter was furiously thinking of a stratagem. He could try and slice through the bomb, but he feared a premature detonation should the charge be tampered with.

"Vert, Ash," Pieter whispered. "Got any ideas on how to take care of this thing?"

"I'm a little stumped myself. Give me a few moments."

"I can do it," came the reply as the two turned to Ash.

The three set themselves to work to save their teammates... --- Selena was smirking with glee as she and Vale had Lyko surrounded.

"That friend of yours really is something. He should really learn to mind his own beeswax, don't you agree?"

She giggled as Lyko gritted his teeth in anger.

"Vale, what do you want to do next? The choice is yours."

However, she was in for a surprise when she lost communications with the grunts guarding the freezer, forcing her to dispatch the remaining goons in the café to investigate the problem. She would have done the job herself, but she had confidence that the charge would leave them stumped. She could still detonate the charge herself, all while staring down the murderous, protective animal of a boyfriend that stood before her and wanted her dead.

"Ah, yes, now where were we? They say a dog is a man's best friend. But what makes you think you can play the knight in shining armor, and beat me, when all you can do is bark with your fightin' words? Face it, mutt, you're already in the doghouse. Once we're done, maybe I should muzzle you up and fix that behavior of yours ..."
