Suddenly the doorknob twisted as the security guard casually walked into the room and noticed that no one else inside.
"Now where did I put my car keys," the security guard muttered to himself as he looked around the room lifting every pile of paper away just so he could look for his car keys,
On the other hand, while the security guard was looking around the room, Rose Knight was quiet and stood still at the corner of the room but what's more, is that she was invisible the entire time!
Rose Knight kept quiet and holding her breath hoping that the security guard wouldn't find out about the opened laptop and the flash drive. Remembering that fact, she focused her sights on the laptop and noticed that the progress bar is gone and the flash drive is still plugged into the laptop, hidden under the pile of papers on the side.
'I wonder if the download was complete,' she thought to herself,
The security guard was still looking around the room for his car keys. Rose Knight then looked at the door hanger and noticed that there was a key dangling on it. She quietly tip-toed her way to the door and flicked the key of the door hanger and let it drop to the ground. Clink!
"Huh?" the security guard was confused as he turned around only to find the keys on the floor. "Oh! So, that's where I put them," he immediately grabbed the car keys and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
After that, Rose Knight let out a huge sigh of relief as she noticed that she became visible again.
"Wow. I honestly did not even know that I had this ability but I'm glad it came out handy," Rose Knight muttered to herself. Then she shifted her focus and walked up to the laptop and turned on her earbud, "Did you manage to download the files?"
"Yeah, I did," Liam replied, "How on earth did you manage to do that?"
"I'll explain it to you as soon as I get out of here," Rose Knight told him, "Is the coast clear?"
Liam checked the monitor in his room and scanned the area, "Yep, you're in the clear. Now, get out of there ASAP," he said,
"I'm way ahead of you," Rose Knight said as she walked up to the door and peeked through it. Seeing as though no one's around, she ran towards the small elevator, got inside it, and went straight towards the rooftop.
By the time she got to the rooftop, she was suddenly hit by a punch that came out of nowhere! BAAM!! THUD!! Rose Knight rolled to the side but when she got up, she realized that the flash drive was not in her hands!
"Looking for this?" someone asked,
Rose Knight looked ahead and is a little surprised that the mysterious figure was there and holding the flash drive in his hand.
"Give it back!" she demanded,
"Oh, is this what you were looking for?" the guy in the black cloak said then smirked, "Come and get it,"
"G-get… that flash… drive…" Liam spoke into her earbud but his voice seems faded into static as if he was losing the signal.
"Liam? You there?" Rose Knight said then took out her sword and readied herself. "I'm gonna get my payback for not defeating you back then," she said,
"Well then, show me what you've got, kid," the guy in the black cloak said, "Give it everything you've got!"
"With pleasure!" Rose Knight said as she charged head-on swinging her sword but was blocked by the guy in the black cloak's wide sword. CLANG!!
Then another vision flashed into her head. A similar experience happened at least that's what she thought. A guy in pitch-black armor holding a similar long wide sword battling against someone in rock-hard armor. Then she snapped back to reality and jumped and took a couple of steps backward.
'Why am I seeing those visions now?' Rose Knight thought to herself,
"If you're done day-dreaming over there, why don't you take this fight seriously!" the guy in black cloak exclaimed, "At this rate, you're in no position to defeat the likes of me,"
Rose Knight grunted but didn't reply as she continues to charge straight at him swinging her sword hoping to get a clean hit but every attack she makes gets blocked by the guy in a black cloak with little to no effort without even breaking a sweat.
The guy in black cloak yawned, "Is this the best you've got?" he taunted, "Have you learned nothing from our previous encounters?" He then swung his blade but Rose Knight managed to dodge the attack moving a few inches away from him.
"Sorry, dude but you're not the boss of me," Rose Knight said, "Also, I got stuff to do so mind your own business!"
"What a pathetic excuse for a warrior," the guy in the black cloak said,
"What was that!?" Rose Knight exclaimed,
"Enough talk. I'm ending this now!" The guy in the black cloak boldly said then charged straight at Rose Knight swinging his sword at her but she parried the attack with her sword however the force of the impact was so strong she was thrown high into the air.
A split second before she could react, the guy in the black cloak appeared above her in the blink of an eye and slammed her straight to the ground beside the building! CRASH!! BOOM!! THUD!!
Rose Knight was badly injured but she slowly manages to stand up. Seconds later, her body moved on its own and realized that she dodged the guy in the black cloak's attack! WHOOSH!! Seeing this, she immediately regained her balance and kept her grip on her sword as she swung it at the guy in the black cloak.
Little does she know that her sword glowed crimson red and as the blade made contact with the guy in the black cloak, he quickly moved away taking a few steps back however he still got hit by the attack leaving him a large cut all the way from his shoulder to his torso! SLASH!!
'I did not see that one coming,' the guy in the black cloak thought, but a split second later Rose Knight appeared behind him holding her sword and swung it at him! BAAM!!
The guy in the black cloak flew across the streets and ended up crashing through an abandoned subway station. CRASH!! THUD!!
"Looks like this girl has gotten stronger," the guy in the black cloak muttered silently as he slowly stood up,
Rose Knight immediately appeared in the abandoned subway station holding onto her sword ready to strike again. "I'll say it again. Hand over the flash drive now," she demanded,
The guy in the black cloak reached into his pocket and showed her the flash drive. But just as Rose Knight was about to grab it, the guy in the black cloak dropped the flash drive on the ground and smashed it with his boots!
"NO!!" Rose Knight exclaimed. Fueled by her anger, she charged straight at the guy in the black cloak without hesitating and swinging her sword violently at him, "HOW DARE YOU RUIN THE ONE EVIDENCE I NEED TO KNOW THE MOST!!"
"Well then, why don't I show you!" the guy in the black cloak said, then placed his palm on the ground and black goo formed around the area and Rose Knight is seen slowly drifting into the black goo as she struggles to break free but every time she moves, the faster she sinks into the goo.
By the time she's about to be drowned into the goo, all that she saw last were the broken flash drive and the guy in the black cloak smiling creepily as he watches her descends into darkness.
'I have… to break free… ' Rose Knight thought but she was then covered in black goo and everything went dark.
