The situation was dire as the bomb was still set to explode once it received the message from the bosses. Yuri and Reiji were at a stalemate of equal speed. But the Artificial Intelligence had been analyzing the gangster with a hammer's movements and Yuri began to gain the advantage.
"AI, we need to move fast, or the bomb will explode," Yuri said. He held his Magitek sword and slashed it diagonally across Reiji but he was able to block it with his hammer. The constant blows sent waves of force destroying the surrounding walls with air pressure.
"I'm not here to kill you!" said Yuri. "I'm here to save those people." Reiji looked into Yuri's eyes and saw genuine concern. "The bomb is attached to a smartphone that's waiting for a signal from up top." He rested the hammer on his right shoulder.
