The plane has thrusters which pushed it upwards
The pilot started the engine and they flew to Oku
Pierson: you still on that kiss?
Zenez: I think I'm good now
Pierson: good
Bruno: shit are we here already?
Pierson: no
Aku was fiddling with a small box
Zenez: what's in the box?
Aku: a wedding ring
Zenez: wow, you were gonna ask Magi to marry you?
Aku: yeah, I'm hoping I'll still be able to after tonight
Zenez: I won't sit here and say we're all gonna live
Pierson: are you all nervous?
Bruno: scared is the right word
Zenez: I'm just nervous about Sora
Aku: that reminds me, hey Pierson
Pierson looked at Aku
Aku: if anything happens to Magi I'm killing you, is that clear?
Pierson: very
Zenez: she'll be fine
Pilot: we're here grab a parachu-
A rocket SLAMMED into the side of the plane causing everyone to jerk to the left
One of the hunters neck snapped from the force after he was slammed against a wall
Pierson: shit what the hell is going on
Zenez: i don't know
Aku: we're being shot at dumbass
Bruno: oh fuck me
Zenez: not the time for this shit
Another rocket slammed against the plane
Zenez: shit we haven't even fucking jumped yet
Pierson: EVERYONE GRAB A PARACHUTE AND JUMP
The other hunters grabbed a parachute and ran to the edge
A rocket slammed against the top killing half the hunters
3 other hunters flew out of the plane to their deaths
One hunter tried to jump out with a parachute but the plane started spinning and knocked the wind out of him
Pierson: EVERYONE JUMP
Zenez, Pierson, Aku, Bruno as-well the other 7 hunters that lived jumped
As they jumped the pilot was shot in the head with a sniper rifle which killed him instantly
The plane started spiraling out of control and crashed into a building with 200 civilians on top killing all of them instantly
They dived through the air avoiding rockets
Pierson pulled out 2 pistols and shot at the Lions killing them
The rest of the hunters that weren't from the main group were getting shot out of the air
By the time they landed the only people left were Zenez, Pierson, Aku, Bruno and Unji
Kogu: you are finally here, I could not have those worthless lions and hunters here
Raz: Aku
Aku: you again
Kogu tugged at some chains and a dog way bigger then Unji walked from behind Kogu
Zenez: don't retreat Unji
Unji stood his ground and gave a low growl
Lok: I'll go after the the other one
Pierson: cover me while I plant the C4
He said in a low voice
Kogu: LET'S KILL THEM
They all rushed each other
"Yuri POV"
As Yuri and Vlad got prepared for Macov in the abandoned building Vlad said
Vlad: how is he even going to find us
Yuri: are you kidding me? He's Macov. I'm sure he's looking for us as we speak
Macov: damn right
Yuri and Vlad quickly aimed their guns
Macov: jeez talk about hostility
"Sora POV"
As the group as well as 80 other hunters ran around looking for Argus they helped out other hunters
Sora was realizing how terrible the situation actually was
Philadelphia was in ruins
Destroyed buildings and dead bodies were everywhere
Magi: hey, you alright?
Sora: yeah
Magi: it's ok to be scared you know
Sora: are you scared?
Magi: yes, but not because of this. It's the fact that I'm not scared of what I'm seeing that makes me scared. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just insane or numb to all the pain and death going around
Sora: are you scared for Aku?
Magi: I know he can handle himself. What about Zenez, I saw you two earlier
Sora: ah, right
Magi: there's nothing to be embarrassed about
Sora: I just... maybe it would've been better if I hadn't done that... we don't know who's gonna live after this night so I figured I'd just get it over with
Magi: trust me it's better you did it before you left
They both went silent until Magi said
Magi: did I ever tell you how I met Aku?
Sora: No? And why would you?
Magi: just a bit of conversation
Sora: then how'd you meet him?
Magi: a while back when I was 16 I was waiting for some friends at a diner. These 3 guys around my age came over and started flirting with me. I was getting increasingly annoyed so I went to use the bathroom. One of them grabbed my but and they started laughing. Aku came out of nowhere and punched him in the face sending him flying back. I was shocked but thankful. The other 2 guys backed off and shortly after that me and Aku started dating.
Just then an armored van smashed through a building and killed a few of the hunters
A blue orb looking grenade was thrown and it chopped a bunch of the hunters in half
Sora got up from the ground
It was just the main group and 20 other hunters
Ku: holy shit
Ko: we just got fucking massacred
Sora: cmon we don't have time to waste that was definitely Argus in the Van
"Zenez POV"
Zenez dodged a slash from Kogu
Zenez: how much longer
Pierson: just a few more minutes
Aku: that isn't gonna fuckin cut it Pierson MOVE FASTER
Pierson: I'm going as fast as I can damnit
Lok whacked Bruno across the face with his staff sending him flying against Pierson
They both stumbled back nearly flying off of Oku
Pierson: be more careful
Bruno: sorry
Bruno got up again
Pierson checked his pocket and froze up when he realized he didn't have the detonator
He looked off the side and caught a glimpse of it falling
Zenez: do you still have the remote detonator?
Pierson: yes, relax
Kogu grabbed Zenez by the leg and tried to throw him
Bruno noticed and rammed into Kogu
Zenez was able to quickly grab on to Oku before falling off
They all regrouped and got ready to fight again
Kogu: Do it now Oku
Black strings pulled all of them including Kogu and his Allie's inside of Oku
When they were finally done sinking Zenez said
Zenez: what the fuck?
They were inside of Oku now
The pink walls were gyrating and twisting constantly
Pierson: I uh... let's find a good place to plant them
Zenez: let's just put them along the wall here
Bruno: it's flesh
Zenez: huh?
Bruno: well we got pulled inside of Oku so that means these "walls" are his flesh
Aku: this is fucking disgusting
Pierson: I can't even attach the C4 to his body
Zenez: so just leave them on the ground and we'll find an exit
Pierson: that's not gonna work
Zenez: why? Just use the fucking detonator when we're out
Pierson: it flew off the edge
Zenez: what?
Pierson: I'm sorry Zenez
Zenez: then... then we'll find an exit and shoot it on the way out
Pierson: that's not gonna work
Zenez: we have to try it
Pierson: it's not gonna work Zenez
Zenez: no...I
Pierson: let's just... keep moving
