The four met in an abandoned warehouse — the same place they once fought the Serpent army. But this time, they weren't injured. They weren't running. They weren't hiding. They were ready. Lisa stood in the centre. "Raven wants a war." Alan smirked. "Then let's give her one." James loaded his gun. "I'll take the West Side back." Adam nodded. "I'll shut down her information network." Lisa's eyes sharpened. "I'll take her head." They moved like a storm. Together. Not enemies. Not rivals. Not separate. A single force. Everyone in the city felt the shift. The four strongest were moving again.
Raven's base was hidden in an underground bunker. She thought she was safe. She wasn't. James took out the guards. Silent, fast, deadly. Adam hacked the security. Doors opened like they were welcoming him. Alan broke through the main gate. One kick. Metal shattered. Lisa walked in last. Calm. Cold. Unstoppable. Raven tried to run. Lisa shot her in the leg. Raven fell. "You… you're supposed to be separated…" Lisa stepped closer. "We don't separate." Alan: "We expand." James: "We evolve." Adam: "We stay loyal." Lisa aimed her gun. "And we finish what we start." One shot. Raven fell. The Black Vipers ended. The city was theirs again.
