The trio entered a small movie theater in Luca's mansion, each with a bag of popcorn. Luca dressed like an office worker with large round glasses and said excitedly:

"Hello everyone who came to Luca's cinema. And today we come with a new documentary, the first generation Hybrids still alive in the present time."

On the screen showed many Hybrids from the days when the New Hope Faction was still exist, Langress's old comrades and friends, there were forty people. Langress suddenly stood up and said with confusion:

"What the Fuck! How? They're all dead?!"

Luca replied:

"Oh no my friend, Lancerlord didn't tell you? There are still many people alive. When Lancerlord betrayed the New Hope faction, he had his followers, the rebellious Hybrids. After they had all destroyed, Lancerlord sided with the Predator, some Hybrids followed him but a few became Insiders. They are still alive to this day."

Langress said:

"Oh fuck! Where are those motherfuckers now!"

Luke replied:

"Calm down, calm down. Sit and I will continue."

Langress sat down angrily while Will was a little afraid of his attitude and Josh thought to himself:

"What is the meaning of life? Who am I?"

Luca continued:

"So, here are the addresses of all of them in New York City after we stole customer information in bars."

The screen projected a hologram of New York City and the three locations of the three traitors. A guy named Alex Mercury with a scar on his forehead in Brooklyn and two guys named Ruat James and Rozar Yao in Queens. Langress said excitedly:

"Good! I'll go there right away!"

Luca replied:

"Oh, you'd rather have one last chance. Last week there were two dead guys, Ruat and Rozar in Queens. And the truth is, thirty-nine people were killed."

Luca turned on the screen a map of the world and the locations of forty traitors, thirty-nine of whom had been killed. Langress and Will were surprised by this news, Langress said:

"But who killed them?"

Luca replied:

"All the dead are drained of their blood, but thankfully we still have the memory of a tiny drop left over from a guy."

Luca continued to play a short video and the perpetrator killed the thirty-nine main traitors were Lancerlord and Emma. Luca stopped the video and said:

"Yes, it's Lancerlord, you seem to understand why he did that."

Langress thought for a moment, then replied:

"Yeah, the traitors know about him and the Predator faction. He has to cover all leads by killing them all. So we're left with one last guy,

We must see him now! He's the last one Lancerlord must kill."

Lancerlord looked closely at Alex's face with eyes filled with anger and rage. Will asked Langress:

"Did you know him, Langress?"

Langress replied:

"Yeah, Alex Mercury, a half-human and half-vampire Hybrid. A very cunning and vile guy in my army, I don't like him too much so it seems I can punch him properly this time."

Luca saved the information on a USB stick and gave it to Langress, he said:

"Take it, no need to thank me, I know you'll need it."

Langress took the USB stick and replied:

"Thank you, you really help me a lot Luca."

Luca made a sinister smile and said:

"My pleasure. After all, you're my favorite customer."

Will and Josh saw his smile and were very suspicious, but Langress didn't care at all. Suddenly the whole mansion shook, Luca quickly called the guard outside and said:

"What happened?"

The other end of the line replied:

"Sir, there are five men rushing towards our mansion. They are armed and wait... AVF, how? Sir, they are AVF, the elite force of AVF..."

The other end of the line suddenly turned off. Langress picked up his sword and said:

"What the fuck? AVF? They figured out our location? Okay, I'll take care of them."

Luca quickly stopped Langress, he replied:

"No Langress. They're coming to find me, get out of here quickly. Here are the keys to my two expensive motorcycles, get them in the garage and get out of here."

Langress said:

"But what about you? You can't fight AVF."

Luca replied:

"Oh my friend, we'll see each other again. Now go, turn left all the way and then the left will come."

Josh said:

"We need to go Langress. Otherwise the AVF alliance with Heroic will be ruined."

Langress nodded and said to Luca:

"Keep yourself safe, okay?"

Luca bowed to the trio and they quickly left. Luca activated the teleporter himself and his information storage rooms, smithy, his safes, and antiques gallery in the mansion were quickly teleported to another mansion. Luca said:

"Ha, I won't let you ruin my collection. And AVF, let's see what you guys have."

The trio of Langress, Josh and Will were still trying to run to the garage when suddenly Josh said:

"Hey Langress, turn left now!"

They quickly braked and immediately ran towards the garage in front, Will was out of breath, he said:

"Oh my, AVF is here, we are doom!"

Langress replied:

"Not yet, with me here, no one will escape death."

Outside, the elite force of AVF were fighting fiercely with Luca's guards. Apollo raised his right robotic arm which was a heavy minigun and fired, killing them all. Then he launched more rockets behind him and blew everything up. Serbent flew overhead and sniped at the guys on the building. When it was temporarily okay outside, Burt shouted:

"Move in!"

Burt, Jin, Apollo entered the mansion while Serbent and Echo were outside assisting. While Burt wasn't paying attention, a guard stood up and rushed over to him. Burt turned around when he noticed movement, but he was already very close. But Apollo caught the guy and said:

"It's dangerous, is the captain okay?"

Burt replied:

"I'm fine, but why is he still alive?"

Apollo crushed him and he was left with mud and rocks. Jin looked at it and said:

"It's golems. They're resurrecting."

The guards slowly revived and charged at Burt, Jin, and Apollo. They quickly protested, Burt said to Echo:

"Echo, have the drones scout the mansion now! We'll be held back for a while."

Echo then dropped drones to scout around the mansion while the rest continued to confront the golems and search for Luca. Back with the trio, Langress rushed forward and hit the wooden door on the left, causing it to fall, he said:

"Yeah!"

Will suddenly opened the right door and said:

"What the hell? It's not locked?"

Langress stood up and said:

"Ok, Luca said he's prepared a transport for us. And where is it..."

They suddenly saw the motorcycle 2022 BMW R 1250 GS and dirt bike 2022 Rieju Enduro Models that Luca had prepared for them. Langress was a bit confused, he said:

"Uhh? How to drive them?"

Will replied:

"Don't worry, Josh probably knows, right Josh?"

Josh looked also in a cold sweat with these two motorcycles. Will held his head and shouted:

"Oh my God! Why is there such a crappy excuse?"

Josh replied:

"Oh don't worry, Boss Luca left us this video."

The three noticed a small television set and a cassette tape. Will said depressed:

"What the? Shall we spend a few more minutes watching the video now?"

Langress shrugged and replied:

"Oh well, let's take our time."

They then sat down to watch the driving instruction video together, but they didn't notice that an AVF drone had detected their location. Echo immediately informed Burt:

"Captain, Langress Mcloucht has been detected."

Burt replied:

"Good, Jin, Apollo, if you can, capture them. Serbent, you and I continue to search for Luca."

Together they said:

"Yes sir."

Burt dashed forward and destroyed the golems that stood in his way. Apollo started the thrusters on his back and Jin with his super-fast robotic legs quickly walked over to Langress, Will and Josh. Serbent spotted Luca moving to his helicopter from above, he said:

"Sir, Luca is leaving, he's in the parking lot in the garden in the middle of the mansion."

Burt replied:

"Copy that!"

Burt pushed a golem to smash through the wall and continued to run towards Luca and Serbent quickly flew there. Back to the trio, Langress was trying to start the motorcycle and said:

"What the heck? I stepped on what they call a pedal."

Josh replied:

"No, you have to turn the key to start it first."

Langress said angrily:

"But I already inserted the key."

Josh replied wearily:

"And you messed up my motorcycle keys."

While Langress and Josh were arguing about the correct way to start the motorcycle due to Langress's stupidity, Will noticed the sound of the engine and said:

"What is it?"

Langress and Josh also heard, he replied:

"Something... It's coming here very quickly."

Will slowly approached the door and peeked out, he suddenly saw Jin and Apollo charging towards them. Will quickly locked the door and said:

"AVF is coming, we need to leave now!"

Langress replied:

"No, I'll fight now."

Josh got on his dirt bike then started it up and said:

"We have to get out of here now. Will said it, we can't let the Heroic and AVF alliance fall apart."

Will hurried up to sit behind Josh. Langress grumbled:

"Fine, let's get out of here!"

Langress drew his sword and slashed across the garage door. He started the motorcycle and said:

"Let's go!"

Suddenly Jin and Apollo arrived in time, Apollo said:

"You won't get out of here!"

He immediately opened fire on them. Langress activated his mechanical left gauntlet and punched the air, punching it so hard it created a gust of wind and hit Apollo, knocking him hard against the wall. Jin lunged at Langress and swung his sword at him, but Langress raises his scabbard to block it, he said mockingly at the enemy:

"You underestimate me too much."

Langress pushed Jin away and he slid back. Jin turned on his mouthplate and said:

"Vampires must die!"

Jin swung his sword quickly at Langress, his cyborg body strengthening himself like a vampire. Josh immediately raised the wall of ice to stop Jin. Jin slashed the wall of ice in half, but Langress slammed his scabbard in the face and stuns him. Then Langress and Josh immediately turned the throttle and sped away. Jin quickly informed Burt:

"Sir, Langress is running away."

Burt replied:

"Follow him now! Don't let him escape!"

Jin said:

"Yes sir."

Jin kicked Apollo's right leg and said:

"Apollo! Wake up, we continue to chase them."

Apollo slowly got up, he grunted:

"Fuck that shit. I'll kill them all!"

Apollo started the thrusters and joined Jin to continue chasing the trio. Returning to Burt and Serbent, Burt dashed out of the window and landed in the mansion's garden, where he looked up and saw Luca preparing to leave. Luca saw Burt and Serbent, he said aristocraticly:

"Bonjour new friends, catch me if you can. I'm unarmed here. Hehehe."

The helicopter flew away and Burt said to Serbent:

"Serbent, shoot the helicopter's gas tank. I need Luca's DNA."

Serbent replied:

"Yes sir!"

Serbent carefully aimed at the helicopter's fuel tank with an advanced sniper rifle. He breathed slowly and pulled the trigger. A bullet was fired and hit the fuel tank. The helicopter wobbled in midair and slowly fell down. Luca held out a grenade and said madly:

"Oh no, I really like this body. Anyways."

Luca pulled out the latch and blew up the helicopter with him. The rest fell to the ground and continued to explode. Burt and Serbent were shocked at Luca's actions, and Burt said angrily:

"Fuck, he escaped again."

Serbent said:

"Sir, shall we retreat?"

Burt replied:

"Retreat, we'll go after Langress."

Burt and Serbent retreated to the truck and they quickly left. Suddenly the mansion's foundation exploded, everything collapsed, leaving only a ruin. Back to the trio, their motorcycle helped them move faster in the woods. Langress said:

"Uhh, which way are we going?"

Will replied:

"Just follow the path, maybe we'll get out of the woods."

Josh noticed the left mirror of his motorcycle and saw Jin and Apollo chasing them, he said:

"We have got company!"

Will turned back then spotted Jin and Apollo, he said with surprise:

"Oh what? Langress!"

Langress replied:

"Oh yeah, that what I'm talking about. Josh, just go first, I got your back."

Langress quickly backed the motorcycle back while Josh moved forward. Will said in panic:

"No!!!!"

Apollo raised his gun at Langress and was about to open fire, but he sped down and smashed him in the face with the rear wheel. Jin swung his sword at Langress but he quickly drew half of the blade and parried it. Jin slid the blade across Langress's face but he quickly sped up his motorcycle and pulled the blade away. Langress then sped off in the other direction to lure Jin and Apollo away. Jin said:

"I'll go after Langress. You go after prince Josh."

Jin quickly chased after Langress and Apollo calmed him down and angrily chased after Josh and Will. In the woods, Langress sped through the big trees, he said excitedly:

"Haha! This thing is faster than me. But I still want more from it and you too, fuck face!"

Jin was still very focused on Langress and kept moving to catch him. Josh made a quick turn and went right, but Apollo chased them very closely, he shouted:

"Come here! Little puppy!"

Josh told Will:

"Hold the throttle, Will. I'll get us all away from them."

Will replied in shock:

"What?!"

Josh suddenly stood up and balanced on the saddle, his right foot still on the throttle. Will quickly put his foot on the gas pedal to keep the motorcycle balanced. Apollo was a bit surprised to see Josh doing such strange things, he wondered:

"What the hell is he doing? He'll be dead soon anyway!"

Apollo raised his gun and opened fire on Josh. Josh quickly turned around and popped his saber then he slashed rapidly to parry all the bullets. Will shout in panic:

"Josh! What's your plan?"

Josh replied calmly:

"Here he come."

Langress was rushing towards Josh and Will, he shouted:

"Yeahhh!"

Langress drew his sword and drove faster. Jin also ran faster. When Langress's motorcycles were about to collide, Langress immediately slammed on the brakes and did a quick Tokyo Drift around Josh's motorcycle. Josh immediately turned around and swung his sword at Jin, but Jin immediately parried the blow and Josh quickly backed away to a nearby tree. Jin ignored Will and attacked Josh and he immediately got into the front seat to get better at riding the motorcycle. Will looked back and saw Josh and Jin clashing in the branches and Langress hurling his motorcycle at Apollo. Langress plunged his sword into Apollo's minigun and, with a wicked smile, he said in a ghostly voice:

"Let's count down your life."

And then there was a Langress's slash at Apollo's eyes. Josh and Jin slashed at each other quickly and they quickly parried the opponent's attack. Their blades clashed and they pushed each other hard, Jin said coldly:

"Compared to a werewolf, your sword skills aren't too bad either."

Josh replied confidently:

"And that's still not all I can do."

Josh thrust his sword forward and made the blade hit Jin's left shoulder. Jin also rushed to kick Josh in the stomach to push him away but Josh immediately bit into Jin's blade to hold him back. Jin was a bit surprised by Josh's strange fighting style but he quickly broke Jin's blade with the force of his jaw. Jin was not over surprised and was punched in the face by Josh and lost consciousness. Will turned his motorcycle back to Josh and saw him come out of the bushes, he said:

"Josh! Are you okay?"

Josh put the saber in his coat pocket and replied:

"I'm fine but look towards Langress."

Will looked over at Langress and felt nauseous at the scene before him. Langress used the Katana to cut open Apollo's stomach, before which he cut off all of his limbs and nose. Devil's blood Katana's blade was covered with the enemy's blood and he was covered in blood too. Langress wiped his face and got on his motorcycle again, he said calmly:

"What? Let's go."

Langress started the motorcycle and went ahead. Will slowly backed into the back seat and Josh got on his motorcycle and they followed behind Langress. Will said:

"I've never seen Langress so cruel. He may be cruel, but he never wanted to torture his enemies to death."

Josh replied:

"There's definitely a part to that sword. Luca didn't simply give Langress that sword."

Will said:

"Are you sure?"

Josh replied:

"Absolutely certain."

Josh sped up the motorcycle even faster and smoke billowed out the back of the motorcycle's chimney.
