He wanted to throw his computer out of the window at the atrocious amounts of encrypted codes that popped up. He should have known that they would throw everything that they had at him. It was seriously starting to frustrate him, but he was running out of time. His eyes danced here and there, this way and that all the while his fingers hacked into the system. He went through the codes like they were nothing new to him. With his trusty laptop stopping the interference from the enemy's side he was able to breeze through the firewalls. Well, not really breeze, but he was going through them faster than he had been previously. He had so many people relying on him; it was the reason why he had yet to toss in the towel.<br/><br/>Also, he wasn't about to let Sanctus Unum be the one organization that he couldn't hack into. He had a perfect record that would not be marred by scum like them. He continued to break down the codes, initializing one of the many programs he had ready to destroy their entire life's work. He would show them no mercy; they had taken something very precious to him not to mention injured one of the few people he would dare to even call a friend. He clenched his jaw, feeling the perspiration roll down the side of his face. There was too much on the line for him to fail now, he knew better than to fail. It would be suicide if he left Zachariah down. He couldn't even fathom the wrath of Azrai if he failed. There was no way that he could let them down. He continued to work, pushing himself harder than before. He was running out of time and despite working best under pressure, he was unsure if he'd be able to make it time.<br/><br/>There was no time to doubt his skill levels, not after all the faith that Zachariah and the others had put in him. He let out a noise that was nearly inhuman as he finally broke the last code and he was in. Files upon files were popping up on his screen; it was a never ending wave. He was overwhelmed briefly by the information that he was gathering, he began to file away the information, knowing that Zachariah could have some sort of use for it. He continued to break down the people that had been trying to get him offline. His laptop was working on breaking down the firewalls; a program ran to look for a weakness in the system. It started beeping when it was able to pinpoint the weakness; he rolled over to the laptop, before running the program into the enemy's database.<br/><br/>"Alright, I was able to get in. Within a few minutes all of their information should fall apart." He glanced as the program began to infect the files accordingly. It had been a tough case to break, but he had finally done it. Now, he could only hope that Lucian was alright. Now he had been able to think of his dear friend. It wasn't like he didn't have faith in Zachariah and his men; he just couldn't help but worry. He wanted to try calling him again, just to make sure he had been thinking in an over dramatic way, however he knew that Lucian was in the enemies' hands. There was nothing he could do but wait. "I took the liberty in saving their files, if you wished to thoroughly investigate their plans. If not, they can be destroyed with a click of my mouse." He leaned back a bit as he let the program take its course, he knew that he had done the best that he could, only time could tell if they had made it or not. "Let me know when I should shut down their security systems."<br/><br/>Sanctus Unum would end soon.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>She let out an annoyed growl, she had been so close to driving them off course but no they chose to speed up. She was getting really pissed off at this point. She sped up after the car, making sure to still keep aware of her surroundings. She wasn't alone on this mission, but she knew that she had sped off too far ahead of her companions. She knew that she was going into the danger zone; she had to make sure that she didnâ€™t get herself injured or worse, killed. She slowed down as she noticed the car pull into the alleyway. An uneasy feeling rolled in the pits of her stomach, wondering if she should wait for her partners. What if they were killing the pilot while she waited around aimlessly? She let out a growl conflicted between her thoughts before she shut off her bike. With her gun in hand, she swung her leg off the bike, slowly creeping towards the alleyway.<br/><br/>This showdown wasn't going to end pretty, she already knew that much. She took slow steps, prepared to shoot at anything that jumped out. Unfortunately, nothing happened putting her on the edge. She leaned against the wall, taking a few breathes. She had promised to keep the pilot alive and damn it she would not fail! Clenching her jaw, she swung around the corner, her gun aimed at the male who was leaning against the car. Her eyes darted around, looking for the corpse of the pilot. Her nostrils flared as she looked angrily at the male, who seemed all too coy. Was he seriously going to underestimate her like this? She wanted to shoot him in the head just for grinning the way he was. He had the pilot and she needed to know if he was alive or not. If he was alive then she would end this stand-off as soon as possible. If he was dead, then she was fucked.<br/><br/>"Where is he," she growled out, making sure to keep her voice low and threatening, like she had been taught. It was hard for women to be taken seriously in her line of business and she wasn't about to let this asshole remind her of where she stood in this world.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>They had had a bumpy ride into Bethlehem and Ivan was ready to kill a few of the bastards that had made his life a lot more difficult, Azrai not included. They would duke it out later on in the future, if they all survived this whole thing. Ivan knew that things were about to be ape shit crazy and he didn't mind one bit. Even in this kind of situation, he enjoyed the rush of the adrenaline coursing through his veins. This was the reason why he had chosen things as his occupation. He allowed Shizu to finally be free from his coverage, he checked her briefly to make sure she was alright. That was a good thing; he would have hated to have to tell the others she got hit. It would have been a mere ricocheted bullet, however he was sure that everyone would have went to firing at the enemy. Maverick pulled into an alleyway and they all exited the car, Ivan stretched his legs preparing himself for the brisk pace they would have to go at, well as fast as they could with Azrai injured.<br/><br/>Ivan shook his head as Azrai shook, knowing that the man was more than pissed off. At least he hadn't reverted back into his 'everyone must die' mode. That would have been the cherry to top the fucking sundae. He relaxed seeing how Azrai was still in control of himself, but Ivan was still cautious. The man could go back into that state of mind at anytime. He tensed as Azrai spoke to Shizu, who immediately looked at the male. He could tell that Azrai was being serious and it had been a decent question to ask. Maverick seemed to be annoyed at the time they were wasting just standing here. Those bastards had barely even flinched when they were shot at, just what the hell were they? He began to move in the direction motioned; knowing the sooner they reached Zachariah the sooner their questions would be answered.<br/><br/>She looked over at Azrai when he spoke to her, the question bouncing around in her mind, though she already knew the answer. "Of course I will," she said gently, though there was determination in her voice. She thought about the first time that they were attacked and she nodded her head. Of course, she was worried about what would happen if the Oni side of her came out. She wasn't even sure if she would be able to control it fully. They all had been going through so much for her, protecting her from the enemy. Even though she wasn't much of a fighter, she would help out in any way that she could. It was the least she could do. Besides, if she truly wanted to be free, she would have to fight for it. In the past, she had been too frightened to fight for what she wanted, now that she was surrounded by those who wanted to save her, along with themselves, she had confidence in herself.<br/><br/>She knew that she would be useful in a fight against the enemy, she was after all stronger than most of them. She could only hope that she was stronger than the men who came out unharmed from the car wreck. She jumped as Maverick seemed to become irritated with the situation. She nodded her head as she moved in the direction that he motioned. She stayed near Azrai, willing to help him even if his stubbornness didn't allow him to ask for it. Her ears tinged as she listened to their surroundings, she really wished she could run them all there, but that would wear her out. She could hear something in the distance and despite Maverick saying that they were covered, she knew that they weren't. "Something is coming," she said, looking towards the direction of the sounds she heard. "It is....three miles away and coming towards us at a fast rate. I suggest we move faster," she said lowly to the group. Damnit she would move them if necessary, she just needed to know where to go.<br/><br/>"Azrai, do you remember how fast we went from the alley in Japan?" Her crimson eyes looked over at him, almost calculating how much weight she would be pulling between herself at the three men. It was possible; she was far stronger than she looked. "Do you think that you can handle that again, along with everyone else?"<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>"Sir, the data is being terminated," one of his men called out.<br/><br/>He stared at the monitor before him, his cold eyes looking back at his men. "There is no need to panic my friends, they have yet to defeat us," he said in a calm manner. Standing up, he clasped his hands behind his back, looking at the panicked expressions on his followers' faces. "We may have lost all our data, but we have the finished products among us, within the crowd." He smiled charismatically at his men, sensing that they were calming done. "They have yet to have a full taste of what they are dealing with. If and when we have successfully destroyed them, we will rebuild."<br/><br/>He smiled, placing the palms on his hands on the glass table in front of him. "We shall rebuild and bring the divine liberation unto the land, it is written in history, it must be done," he said with a steady voice, his confidence radiating off of him. "When we get the Oni woman, no one will be able to stop us. For now, we shall prepare ourselves for a battle." The tension began to rise once more. "Yet again my brothers and sisters, I tell you to fear not. They will not stop what has been needed for thousands of years on this wretched planet. We shall fight and we will conquer, for it is the prophecy written throughout history." He smiled slightly, nodding his head. "Will you show your loyalty to me? Will you fight for our cause?"<br/><br/>The room echoed with cheers and he laughed, let them attack his organization. He had been preparing for this moment ever since he was born.
