"What the hell is going in there?!" Brimstone, the head leader of the Valorant Protocol also known by his number Agent 01. Slams his hand in one of the control panels, angry in beyond human comprehension — he just lost contact with three of his Agents (02, 09, and 06) specially with his second in command. With the room they are in on going in red alert, blaring alarms which was stopped by one of the Agents in the room, Agent 03 Omen.
A man in a dark hood, three claw marks for a face, clad in armor he could be seen shutting down the alarms, "Can you get us footage?" Talking in his raspy, distorted voice.
"I-I don't know." While the third Agent in the room panics, she looks disheveled, a hoodie with a hello kitty design could be seen being worn by her — this is the tech genius of VP, this is Agent 04 nicknamed Killjoy or KJ for short. "N-no wait. I-I think I might." "Killjoy do it."
Brimstone watches in worry, Omen watches in anger, and Killjoy on the other hand feels the most pressure as she intently works and tries her best — small robots nearby helping, and/or cheering her up. "This has to work." "No, this will work." Killjoy talks to herself as she keeps crunching and hacking the technology in front of her, with the many panels and many icons one can't be blamed for being confused — but she isn't. She clicked enter, her face smiling ever as the giant screens in front of them lit up.
"Yes!" She (Killjoy) raises both of her arms in the air, cheering in victory as so her robots nearby. "Now what do we have here?" Omen and the others piqued in interest watching his Omega version fighting Viper in one of the screens — in awe, and satisfaction, and with a small sense of worry. "They are on the move aren't they?"
"This isn't good is it? Brim?" Killjoy stopped celebrating and instead now watches in horror what's going on on the screen — multiple CCTV cameras in one of the Kingdom's Art Gallery, this one where her friends are dispatched. She watches as the new recruit (Phoenix) hides in the corner, behind a box with an unconscious bleeding Sova, Phoenix reloading as her Omega version fires at them using a Sheriff, thankfully she and her Omega version has poor eyesight thus not hitting nothing — but the hyperventilating Phoenix doesn't make one secure for the future, "Oh no..."
Her eyes moved to the other side at the wounded Viper having a duel with the Omega version of Omen, the counterpart of the man behind her — she couldn't watch it fully as she notices her mentor figure being bloodied, and hiding, the both of them talking midway the fight shown by Viper talking in the video. The Omega Omen noticed the CCTV not far away and destroyed it, Sheriff in hand. "This is not, not, not good."
"Ready the V/LTR we're coming in!" Brimstone on the other hand is talking to someone through his earpiece, rushness and contained anger could be felt in his grumpy and rough voice, "Destination? UK, Kingdom's Art Gallery. Get it ready in minutes, now!" Omen on the other hand teleports away, activating his powers and getting a head start in entering the V/LTR worried about his friend. "Killjoy, hack the system. Make sure those Kingdom buggers don't get a whiff of this." "Aye boss."
Brimstone exited the control room, leaving the already stressed Agent Killjoy to be more stressed — but at the very least she has companions in the form of her inventions, alchemical products 08 calls them. "I guess, it's time for work then."

"Don't hide!" The distorted voice of Omega Omen could be heard echoing all over the empty gallery which only him and her occupies — ignoring Killjoy, Jett, Phoenix, and the unconscious Sova, or the guards — no, only him and Viper is the one occupying this place in his eyes. "DON'T HIDE!" Omen in hearing something move shot his Judge, damaging the paintings and the glasses in the way.
Viper who's hiding afar, not nearby where Omega Omen shot at couldn't help but sight to herself — left arm swinging in the air as she clutches her fully reloaded Vandal using one hand, ( "This guy is not right in the head, damn it!" ) as she steadies her rough breathing underneath her metallic mask.
"Come out Sabine, COME OUT!" The wild Omen kept shooting at the paintings, probably more mad at the painting than Viper or what. But for Viper this gives opportunity as she readies her Snake Bite, armor in her arms opening up for her utility, she aims it sneakily at the back of Omega Omen — before finally deciding that it is too risky, and instead aims at the floor under him, and so, release.
But before so the utility could land Omen felt something amidst and turned around, enough to notice the flying utility aimed at the floor under him. "There!" And so he used his ability last minute to dodge the poison. And right in his judgment as the floor where his standing on previously melts, destroying antiques below — the figure of Phoenix running could be seen, chasing something through the hole.
"Oy! Oyyyyyy, wait up. Damn this woman!" Phoenix changes from carrying the heavy Vandal and prompt instead to carry a Sheriff — one which he kept aiming hoping to get a clear shot with the figure of the girl he is chasing, unluckily he couldn't get the chance. "Can yah stand still for a minute, yeh!" ( "Damn this!" ) He got impatient and shot at her, but she sidestepped and instead shot him using her piece — which caused Phoenix to stumble and hide behind a knight's templar metallic armor, the bullets passing through the armor as she instead of focusing at him didn't so and kept running — seemingly determined.
"What's wrong with yah?! Scared in fighting the big man, no?!" One which Phoenix noticed and mocked in, the figure of the woman stopped slightly before ultimately continuing her mission, trying not to care about Phoenix's taunt, "Yeah, yeah, you bettah run away kid!" Unbeknowst to Phoenix someone's Vandal is scoped at his back, but thankfully someone noticed.
"Stop!" Agent 04 the Omega Killjoy who's aiming at the head of the arrogant figure of Phoenix was shot in the shoulder, disturbing her aim and instead hitting the wall above him — this made the arrogant and lax figure of Phoenix panic and hide — thankfully the now awaked Sova helped him, if not he would have died. "Get out of our Earth, please." The bloodied figure of Sova pleaded at the Omega Killjoy in front of him, the reluctant figure of her momentarily aims her gun at him.
Coughing, the already bloodied and hurt Sova looks up and stared at her, ready and determined to die — but she couldn't bring herself to do so, they are here on a mission, not to murder, even though she hisses from the pain she's feeling she stilled lowered her gun, "I'm... sorry." Was the only thing Sova could hear before something shocked him into unconsciousness once again. "We are the good guys..."

[ Fun Fact (Valorant-Lore & Map): "Agent 04 nicknamed Killjoy invented the first ever known Spike Defuser in the cinematic Duality. So, there was really no way for Phoenix to detonate the previous Spike, the one shown in Duelist which ultimately blew up in Venice, Italy. The result of this is the map Ascend in the Valorant games, I don't really understand why Omega Earth wants to blow it up again — they probably just hate Venice." ]
