Chapter 14 - Chapter 12: The Night They All Fell

The safe house shook again. Dust rained from the ceiling. The metal door bent inward. The Top 10 were breaking through. James loaded his gun. Adam sharpened his blade. Alan stood beside Lisa's bed, refusing to move. Lisa lay still — too still. Until— Her eyes snapped open. Lisa Wakes Up She sat up instantly, ignoring the pain, ignoring the dizziness, ignoring the blood. Alan stepped toward her. "Lisa—" She cut him off. "They're here." James nodded. "All ten." Adam added, "They want you dead." Lisa stood. Her legs were steady. Her eyes were sharp. Her aura was lethal. "Then let's kill them first." The Door Breaks The metal door exploded inward. The Top 10 stormed in. Number 01 at the front. Number 02 a blur behind him. Number 03 aiming at Lisa again. Numbers 04–10 spreading out like a death squad. Lisa stepped forward. Alan grabbed her arm. "You're still hurt." Lisa pulled away. "I'm done lying down." The Fight Begins Number 02 charged first. Lisa shot him in the head before he reached her. He dropped instantly. James blinked. "…She's back." Adam smirked. "Good." Number 03 Aims at Her Again He fired. Lisa tilted her head slightly — the bullet missed by a hair. She fired once. Number 03 fell. Alan stared at her. "You shouldn't be standing." Lisa reloaded. "I'm not standing. I'm killing." The Room Turns Into a Battlefield Number 05 swung his hammer at Adam. Adam dodged and stabbed him in the throat. Number 06 tried to poison James. James shot him twice in the chest and once in the head. Number 07 and 08 attacked together. Lisa shot 07. Alan broke 08's neck. Number 09 tried to escape. Lisa shot him in the back. Number 10 charged at Alan. Lisa shot him before he reached Alan. Alan looked at her. She shrugged. "He was annoying." Only Number 01 Remains He stood in the centre of the room, blade dripping. The strongest. The deadliest. The leader of the Top 10. He looked at Lisa. "You should have stayed unconscious." Lisa stepped forward. "You should have stayed home." Number 01 lunged. Alan moved to block him. Lisa grabbed Alan's wrist. "He's mine." Alan stepped back. James and Adam watched silently. Lisa vs Number 01 He swung his blade. Lisa ducked. She shot his knee. He stumbled. He swung again. She blocked with her gun. Kicked him in the chest. Shot his shoulder. He roared and charged. Lisa stepped aside and fired point‑blank into his skull. Number 01 fell. Silence. The Top 10 Are Dead James exhaled. "All ten… gone." Adam wiped blood from his blade. "They underestimated her." Alan walked to Lisa, grabbing her shoulders gently. "You shouldn't have fought." Lisa looked up at him. "I don't fall." He stared at her — furious, relieved, proud. James smirked. "She's fine." Adam nodded. "She's Lisa." The Final Message A phone buzzed on Number 01's body. Lisa picked it up. A message appeared: "You killed the Top 10. Good. Now the real war begins." Lisa smiled — cold, dangerous, unstoppable. "Let it."
