"Mate stop!" ( "I can't believe this, it feels like we've been doing this for ages." ) "I'm serious, I'll shoot!" Agent Phoenix, the flamboyant cocky accented british who's chasing after an unknown threat — one who can bend air, while he himself can bend fire who would have thought that fire chasing wind wouldn't win? Phoenix definitely found out today.
( "Where she at?" ) And he definitely lost her — for 3 minutes now — damn it. Phoenix kept watch, behind, front, in the side, and in the corners afraid as to not get killed — he almost died earlier if not for Sova after all. Damn he just left Sova to die.
( "I can't believe this. This supposed to be guard duty, or what?! Damn it." ) he looked to his right and noticed something, his reflection — which slightly scared him, ( "hoh, holy sh—" ) clutching his heart he began to search for the enemy combatant again, enemy Radiant which has the ability to manipulate her powers better than him. Damn it.
"Woah, woah, woah what that?" Phoenix noticed a door beneath the floor opened up, a hatch hidden by the tiles of some sort which made him point his Vandal at it — and so something came out of it, dashing, the Radiant which he was chasing since earlier. White haired, hair tied with a knife floating nearby her and in her hand — "Oh fuc*." He was caught by surprise but he have the upper hand, so he shot his Vandal. And at the same time she throws her knife. Both caught by surprise.
"Damn it!" "Damn it!" The hand of Phoenix which was holding the Vandal, and the Vandal was damaged — in the case of Vandal, destroyed. The Radiant airbender on the other hand got her right hand pierced by one bullet that came out from Phoenix's Vandal.
Both of them clutch their teeth shot as they stare at one another for what seemingly felt like hours but in reality is only a few seconds. The said airbender Radiant moved first and pulled out a Sheriff out of her pocket using her undamaged hand, not caring about the pain she's feeling in her right bleeding hand. In seeing this Phoenix also reacted quickly, Sage's teachings kicking through as he uses his radiant power — flame based as he conjures a ball of flame, ( "HAH." ) as he throws it at her face.
Which got her blinded, missing her shots as a result — one grazing the face of Phoenix, as he reacts late. This was followed by Phoenix panicaly grabbing a Sheriff which he placed on his left pocket, he grabbed it using his right hand as the other heals bit-by-bit, ( "LET'S GO!" ) he could hear objects falling from left to right, he looks up at where the sound was coming from and noticed the previously seen airbender running — breaking urns and such relics along the way. She kept dashing from left to right as Phoenix finally noticed a shot, his abilities relating to flame flaring as so his eyes in seeing this chance. So he squeezes the trigger aimed at the side of the Radiant's face. "I'm sorry..." And so a bang was heard — a bang which caused Phoenix to disintegrate from head to toe.
[ SCATTER ] as Phoenix's body disintegrates the more and more the shadow behind him gets revealed, the face of Omen who was just fighting Viper earlier — "Jett." Omen watched closely as the panicky figure of Jett aiming at him — her eyes closed, and face burnt, nothing a good healing can fix — clutching her Sheriff as he warily aims it around the air before finally settling at where the gunshot rang out from, "W-who!" "It's me." "O-Omen?" "Let's go." "Ye-yeah, let's go."
She calmed down in hearing that voice, the voice of her coworker, mentor-figure and overall coordinator for this mission, "I-I have the drive, take it." "Goodjob..." Jett, or the Omega version of her stumble about her boots hitting the shattered glasses under her, before finally being able to pinpoint where Omen is at — smiling as she hands a futuristic USB Drive into her mentor. The latter looks at it, face not changing as it presents 3 claw marks that cannot be removed. "We are leaving." "젠장 이쁜 놈아, 다음 번에는 그 사람을 죽일 거야!" "Enough of that." Omen and Jett of the Omega Earth disappeared leaving behind a destroyed Vandal, used Sheriff, and a pile of dust that was once Agent Phoenix having accomplished their task. [ SCATTER ]

"Es tut mir leid, Welt, es tut mir leid." Klara Böhringer, the Agent 04 Killjoy of Omega Earth could be seen working away on the computer panel in front of her — the surroundings of her dimly lit except for the screens which comes to life, un-futuristic in her eyes but still advance.
Her bots, little babies could be seen working away on the computer keyboards and panels, as they try to steal something from the Gallery's storage system in extension the Kingdom Corporation — the mirror to their versions of Kingdom Industries — but nonetheless she keeps mouthing that to herself, trying to distract herself from having just murdered a security personnel albeit reluctantly. — "I am sorry..." She looks at the body again, the one clutching a pistol, the lifeless man and averted her eyes again.
Trying to clear herself from the horrors she had done. "For the greater good Klara, for the greater good..." "This is for home." She closes her eyes, trying to remember her past — the childhood of hers, the friends she made on the way, the love of her life — the face of which blurred, the goofy smile of his is the only thing she could remember, she and him when they were just mere children in oversized labcoats — that's the most precious memory of germany's most prized inventory, her and someone else in play pretend — how she wishes she can go back, but she can't.
[ Beeeeep- ] something snapped her out of her daydream, oh how she hates that, she opens her eyes and noticed the downloading of information is at 100%, meaning she got what she came here for — at the very least the something that surpriced her is a positive one, and not negative. She looks to her right, at one of her bots and notices the horizontal bot which works as an info bank happy as ever — she (Killjoy) carefully grabs her child and places her inside her oversized yellow jacket that sometimes looks like a raincoat. She looks at the other small bots, the shock bot, the tool bot, and the scanner bot, she did the same and minimized all of them as she prepares herself to go. ( "For my home, for my love." )
Klara couldn't believe it, everything have been going smoothly except for the cases they have to fight the counterparts of their friends — Omen seems to have loved doing it though, but that raises the question. The EMB that she released can only last for 5 minutes, it targets specific waves to be more precise long distance ones, and it has expired. ( "Oh dear, zat is not good." ) As shown by her earpiece picking up a signal that is unwanted by her.
[ "—cinating truly, so this is how they've done it..." ] [ "Sage, something is wrong." ] ( "Oh no, my EMB Lockdown..." ) She briefly guessed what the man in the other is talking about, [ "What do you mean Cypher?" ] [ "Something is not right. Someone else is listeni—" ] ( "Damn it!" ) From the voice of that Klara knows who it is, Cypher, and as sharp as ever she thinks — ultimately she decides to destroy her earpiece, the comms in extenstion of theirs as so that it wouldn't be picked up by anyone else — and she did this by stomping her creation under her boots, picking up the remains as she does so.
She was about to cautiously open the hatch above her, but someone else stopped her. The hand of her mentor, Omen, stopping her midway as he without delay teleported the both of them out of here — not even waiting for Klara to fully comprehend what is going on, "What th—" [ SCATTER ] Klara Böhringer and Omen both belonging to that of an foreign Earth disappeared, just like that. And right in what they did, as not soon after bullets could be seen emptied from above aimed at where KJ and Omen were standing on.
Seconds past by and rush footsteps could be heard from above, the hatch which is made out of metal not strong enough to defend the inside from an unslaught of an sleep deprived nurse — the hatch was later opened, and so appeares the tired figure of Sage, Agent 07 wielding a Phantom and cautiously looking inside, in her earpiece Cypher could be heard speaking. [ "Sage?" ] [ "What was that?" ] She didn't pay much attention to Cypher and instead jumped in, instantly noticing the destroyed object under her feet, the dead body of a Kingdom Corporation Guard, and the multiple gigantic screens in front of her, [ "A problem, get Brimstone for me." ] [ "That's... Gonna be difficult, Kingdom is here, and they are quite a bit...." ] [ "Then get over here at least." ] [ "In a moment. I am stealing this first." ]

[ Fun Fact (Valorant-Lore): "Agent 04 Killjoy canonically is a fan of League of Legends and other video games. Funnily enough, League is another game that Riot owns. Valorant was also used to promote Arcane, search it up they got art of Killjoy and everything." ]
