Running away from the scene, the two people known as Claire and Felia have been chased by the drones and SK Soldiers that were ordered by one of the dominators known as Admiral Hellbert.
Her time runs out, and the only way to survive is to flee and hide. Stepping onto the puddles, and getting hit by the edge of the walls due to the fast speed of their running as fleeing the scene was their only shot of getting out of here alive.
Going left and right from the alleyways, they quickly hid in the dumpster to escape the chase. Somehow they managed to lose them. Claire ponders, thinking of a way out as sweating from the dire situation they were in.
"Data-kun, what's our location?" Data-kun scans the whole vicinity to gather data on the surroundings.
"We are currently at the 6th district, the center of the city."
"I see." Breathing heavily, she had no moments of time to take a break. Then suddenly, she remembers the safest way to hide. "I know a way out. Felia, are you alright?" Felia's sanity is at its lowest, it's like she loses her hope of living, embracing the consequences of getting killed as a traitor for making allies with the last protagonist.
"It's hopeless..." She let out a defeating reply.
"Don't lose your hope yet! Look! I'm here, we can work this out somehow! C'mon!"
Then they heard a loud yell coming from the SK Soldiers. a female voice that keeps saying such as, "Target missing! Acquiring vision from the drones. Have you found her yet?" But they didn't found them yet, she opens the lid of the dumpster and drags Felia running with great haste.
"We're going to the 5th district, give me the sight of the appraisal map," Claire orders Data-kun to give the sight of the appraisal map and so he did. The green arrow shows proper guidance on the quickest and safest way to get away from the chasers, and so she was able to avoid any confrontations with the drones and the SK Soldiers.
"Why would she struggle so much just to save me...?" Then she realized that for once in her life, a person who desires to save someone like her was something not to take lightly. She can be called an ally, a friend. Then finally, she grips Claire's hand and finally does not drag her down by sprinting at the same speed as Claire.
But, " Unknown stranger detected." Data-kun tells Claire.
"Where?" Claire tries to track down the threat but unexpectedly, she got stumbled by that person. He wears a cloak that covered his face but his voice was exposed. He responds to Claire saying his apology such as, "Sorry."
Claire intends to run despite the accident but the voice was familiar, "That voice... is that... Frank Hellbert." Felia thought as looking back at the sight of him. Claire continues to flee while holding Felia's hand. "It's no use, if he is here then she is somewhere nearby..." Felia suddenly pulls Claire and so she got scraped to the ground resulting in Claire's fall.
"I didn't expect you to double-cross her, Felia." That unknown person named Frank says resulting in such betrayal of Felia despite all the signs that Claire is a good friend. Right now, Claire is badly hurt and now, there's no running from him anymore.
"How about this, if you make my job a little bit easier, I could report to the superiors that it was just a cruel ploy to gain the trust of the last protagonist. And with that, you will be rewarded handsomely."
Frank explains as giving Felia a chance to redeem herself and finally not let her efforts go in vain. Suddenly, a whisper was heard in Felia's ear, it was a female voice from thin air, but for some reason, Felia grins.
"That's a promising dream, Frank. But I won't sacrifice my real friend over my fake life!" With her determination rising up, Frank had no choice but to do it the hard way, somehow it made Claire smile for once in this series.
"Looks like you've chosen a death wish, Felia. Leader, get them." But unfortunately,
"No. Frank, stand down." A girl suddenly appeared behind him, as she dislocated Frank's right leg. "Candy was it? Nice to meet you. I'm your new lover. Love really is the most dangerous emotion of all." A yandere is now at the scene, introducing herself to Claire.
"What's this supposed to mean? Are you also betraying us, Olivia?!"
"Yes. The only miscalculated you made is to trust me." Then, the girl named Olivia points her attention to Claire saying.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry!" Felia apologizes to Claire for attacking her.
"No need to worry about me. Who is she?"
"That's Olivia Fear, the leader of the Domination Squad. In the whole battalion that Admiral Hellbert educated, most of them were transported to the seas, but what's left behind was one of the highest ranks of the soldiers. And one day, they formed a squad known as the Domination Squad to counterattack any nuisance such as the protagonists, even the dominators, and Mr. Smiley himself, trained through the harshest environment, and served as the will of Jace Hellbert. I don't have any idea why she is on our side. Might as well ask her yourself, Claire." Then suddenly, choices popped up in Claire's vision.
A. Trust her
B. Don't trust her
"I better pick the first option then." Claire goes to Olivia. "Uhmmmm, Hey nice to meet you as well. So... are you willing to help us?"
"Yes! *clear throats* I would like to help you."
"Then." Claire gives her hand to Olivia and both of them shake their hands.
"Hey guys, would you please help me? I surrender. You need a hostage right?" Frank wants to be a hostage.
"No." Olivia disagrees. "The superiors would likely call reinforcements and probably kill all of us, including you."
"Well then, how about I become one of the last protagonist's allies? I can be of some help." Frank changes her proposal.
"Her name is Claire."
"That could work." Both Claire and Frank shake their hands.
"But... can someone fix my right leg?" Olivia fixes Frank's leg by putting back the patellar ligament back to its center. After all that, they all go to a nearby house somewhere in between the 5th and 6th districts, they found an unlocked door to the house, and they entered. As they wandered inside and take a break from the chase, the place inside was oddly familiar.
"I see, this is my home." Claire quietly says as finally realizes that this was her home since she was 8.

"Man, it's boring when we don't have anything to do besides staying on the rooftop." A soldier named Dylan complains like a child in front of the squad.
The wind flutters the clothes of the five elite soldiers, as they enjoy the cold breeze and some quality time together, the feeling of the coldness draws near to the skin covered by their cloak but they stood even the Mount Everest, even at its coldest and lack of oxygen, they were able to conquer as for them it was a school field trip.
But today this is their day off.
"Have you heard anything from Frank? I haven't seen Olivia in a while." One of the soldiers with a sword named Slick asks.
"C'MON! Why do they get to enjoy their mission while we stand idly and chat?!" Thomas angrily creates a tantrum.
"All I know is that they were assigned to lead the soldier's search team while we hold off here and wait and see how the enemy moves." As she holds the sniper with care, she gently foretells what she knows and finally concludes that "If they haven't contacted us, it means they are either busy on the chase or in danger."
"Then, more of the reason for us to go now." A guy named Xzavier worries about the outcome of their search.
"No, we have to wait for orders from the superiors."
"Tch. We're supposed to wait here and let our friends die, Lady Death."
"Why don't you pronounce my name?"
"It's hard to tell. Lady Death suits you better."
"What?! You better tell my name or I'll blow your head my sniper, point blank range!"
"I forgot okay? Jeez..."
"It's Lyudmila Pavliechenko."
While at the SK Foundation, Trolie goes to Mr. Smiley at the top of the rooftop. "You seem to know where I was, have your senses improved?" Mr. Smiley says.
"Admiral Hellbert wants 'World Termination' permission from you."
"How stern as usual, Trolie. So he wants to borrow my power? Well then, I have to watch and see what holds the last standing of the protagonist. I have permission." Mr. Smiley leaves as he leaves the scene.
Going back to the five elite soldiers, they suddenly have a strange presence, a fire-like presence they feel immediately stronger than ever and even more excited about what's to come.
"What's this power?"
"It's like I feel more connected to Admiral Hellbert than ever."
"The Superiors have already decided, kill the last protagonist is our mission." All of the soldiers have already made their move they will attack and kill the last protagonist with all of their malice and insanity filling up their hearts, they know it's time for killing. They are the Domination Squad.
