One piece: Without a system, I have to survive!

The room was deathly silent as the data on the terminal unfolded before us. Every word, every detail felt like a weight pressing down on my chest. What we had uncovered was more than just an illegal operation—it was a threat to the very fabric of the world itself. The Navy had been secretly working on creating an army of enhanced soldiers, each one genetically modified to be stronger, faster, and more lethal than anything we had ever faced.

I stared at the screen in disbelief. How could they have gotten this far? How could they have kept this a secret for so long?

The truth behind Zephyr's mission was finally clear: he wasn't just a rogue admiral. He had been a test subject, one of the first successful experiments in a project that aimed to create the ultimate weapon. His enhanced abilities, his strength, his resilience—it was all part of this twisted plan.

"This is madness," I muttered, my voice thick with anger. "They're trying to create an army of monsters."

Smoker stood behind me, his expression grim as he processed the information. "We knew they were dangerous, but this… this is beyond anything we expected."

Selene and Shira exchanged looks, their faces tense with the same realization. We had been fighting the Navy for years, but now we knew—this wasn't just about power. It was about control. The Navy wanted to reshape the world with an army of genetically enhanced soldiers, and they were willing to sacrifice everything to make it happen.

I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my thoughts. "We have to stop them. We can't let this happen."

⚔🔥🔥🔥

"We will," Smoker said, his voice steady despite the growing urgency. "But first, we need to find a way to destroy this data before it falls into the wrong hands."

I nodded in agreement. If this information was leaked, it would change everything. The Navy's plan could spread like wildfire, and the world wouldn't stand a chance against the force they were building.

We turned back to the terminal, but just as I was about to take action, the door to the command center burst open, and a squad of heavily armed officers stormed inside. They had found us.

"Smoker, we need to get out of here!" Shira shouted, her voice sharp with panic.

The officers advanced, their weapons raised, but Smoker was already moving. He launched himself into the air, his smoke form swirling around him like a dark storm. He unleashed a barrage of smoke-based attacks, taking down the first wave of officers with brutal efficiency.

"We can't fight them all," Smoker said, his voice barely audible through the smoke. "We need to leave now."

⚔🔥🔥🔥

Selene didn't hesitate. She grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the exit. "Come on! We can't waste any more time!"

We sprinted through the halls, the sound of gunfire echoing behind us. The base was on full alert now, and we were running out of options. But we had no choice. We had to get out of there, and we had to destroy the data before it was too late.

As we ran, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched. The air seemed thick with danger, every corner potentially hiding an ambush. But we couldn't stop. Not now. The stakes were too high.

⚔🔥🔥🔥

We reached the exit to the base just as a group of officers appeared at the end of the corridor. The door to the outside was just within reach, but the officers were closing in fast.

"Get to the door!" Smoker yelled, his smoke form surging forward once again.

We sprinted toward the exit, the officers hot on our heels. I could hear their footsteps growing louder, feel the tension building as we neared the door. This was it. We were almost free.

But just as we were about to make it, the door slammed shut, and a massive figure appeared in the doorway.

It was Vice Admiral Kong, and he wasn't alone. Behind him stood a group of heavily armed soldiers, their weapons trained on us.

"Did you really think you could escape?" Kong sneered, his eyes burning with contempt. "You've stumbled into something much bigger than you realize."

I clenched my fists, ready for a fight. We weren't going down without a fight.

⚔🔥🔥🔥

"We're not here to escape," I said, my voice cold. "We're here to stop you."

Kong's smile widened, and he stepped forward, his sword drawn. "You don't even understand the full extent of what you're dealing with. The Navy's plan is already in motion. You can't stop it."

"We'll see about that," Smoker growled, his smoke form flaring as he prepared for the inevitable battle.

The soldiers behind Kong raised their weapons, and the room seemed to vibrate with the weight of the impending conflict. It was a standoff. We had no choice but to fight our way out.

"We'll make you regret this," Kong hissed.

Without warning, he lunged forward, his sword aimed straight for me. I barely had time to react, dodging just in time to avoid the deadly strike. The battle had begun.

⚔🔥🔥🔥

Selene and Shira moved into action, their weapons flashing as they fought off the soldiers. The air was thick with the sound of clashing steel and the roar of gunfire. Smoker was already enveloped in smoke, taking down the soldiers with ease.

But Kong was still a threat. His strength and skill were unmatched, and his speed was overwhelming. I couldn't keep up with him alone.

"Smoker!" I shouted. "We need to take him down together!"

Smoker's eyes flashed with determination as he moved to flank Kong, the two of us launching a coordinated attack. But Kong was a seasoned fighter, his movements sharp and precise. He parried every blow, his sword a blur of deadly precision.

"We're running out of time," I thought, my mind racing. "We need to finish this now."

With a sudden burst of speed, I launched myself at Kong, aiming for a vulnerable spot. But Kong anticipated the move, his sword clashing with mine in a shower of sparks. We were locked in a deadly standoff, neither of us willing to give an inch.

⚔🔥🔥🔥

Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the building, sending debris flying through the air. The lights flickered, and the walls seemed to tremble. The explosion had come from somewhere deep within the base—someone had set off a series of charges to disrupt the facility.

"Now's our chance!" Smoker shouted. "We can't waste any more time!"

The chaos of the explosion created the perfect distraction. Smoker and I launched a final assault, forcing Kong back with a series of brutal strikes. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, we managed to disarm him, knocking his sword out of his hand.

"You've lost, Kong," I said, breathing heavily. "The Navy's plan ends here."

Kong's eyes burned with hatred, but he didn't resist as we secured him. "You think this is the end? The Navy will rise again, and when it does, you'll wish you were never born."
