Part 1: Shock

Grant, Liam and Jason drove their way back to the Mohawk's base in the West to finally take them down and hopefully lower their numbers. On the way, Liam attempts to take the bandages off but decided to see if his face had properly recovered.

He gently placed his hand on his face and let a slight groan, signifying that he was still in pain and therefore kept the bandages on. He remembers back to the incident in how Xythis appeared intimidated by him and forcing himself to use his kick upon Liam.

He then looked at Grant and begun remembering what he had said to Yuri at the rooftop while he eavesdropped. He couldn't believe that his half-brother looked up like how he did the same and this became a core motivation for him to become stronger.

He suddenly began remembering flashbacks to when he was younger and he and Grant had their mother beside them when they were babies. And despite them being old and his memories not being 100% accurate, he remembered seeing her smile.

The trio arrived at the base and weren't surprised to see a massive crowding outside. Liam commented "If I'm being honest with you guys, I can't wait to plot my revenge on these no good turds."

Grant chuckled and said "You read my mind brother." He rummaged through his pockets and placed a tracking device onto Jason's glasses and told him "Wear these. It'll show us where you are and what's going on."

Jason takes the glasses but then suddenly asked "Are you sure this is a good idea?" His face showing worry and fear. "I mean Xythis will soon know what we did here and-"

But before Jason could continue, Grant cut him off, saying "Don't worry Jason, I got this." Grant unbuckles his seatbelt and says to Liam "Its like what they use to call me back then, 'The Man with A Plan'."

"That's literally what a lot of people call themselves in the planet dude, you're no different." Said Liam, attempting to embarrass Grant which succeeded as Jason began chuckling a little.

Grant looked at the two of them with annoyance and told Jason "yeah, yeah, yeah, hahahahah! Get out of here already."

Jason got out of the car and snuck close to where some vehicles were parked and away from the vehicle that Grant and Liam were in. At the car park, there were some Mohawk members standing guard and grew suspicious upon seeing glimpses of Jason.

When Jason's cover was blown, the Mohawks members went after him while Grant and Liam took the opportunity to sneak inside through the air vents. Inside, Grant and Liam scoured across the vents, attempting to find a way to take down their forces.

As they reached under the ring, Liam suddenly slipped and went to a different route but in doing so, he was shocked to learn what the Mohawks were doing.

Grant whispered out to Liam, saying "Liam! You okay?!"

Liam ran back to his brother and gestured him to come, saying "You've got to see this!"

Grant followed Liam to what he wanted him to see and he too was shocked to bear witness to something repulsive that the Mohawks were doing. From deep underground, there were humans, held against their will as they were being sold by the Mohawks.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Said Grant, still shocked as to what he was seeing. He then called Yuri and said "Yuri, you're not going to believe what we've just found..."

"What?" Yuri asked.

"The Mohawks are kidnapping and selling people to wealthy bidders." Said Grant on the phone.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Said Yuri as he too was shocked from learning this. "Surely Xythis isn't that wicked!"

Liam asked "Wouldn't someone like Xythis be fine with something like this?"

"That's where Xythis draws that line." Answered Grant "According to some archives Yuri found, Xythis had been sold off just like these people."

"Then that means..." said Liam, "Xythis wouldn't do something this cruel... But what if... he did?"

What Liam had proposed could be valid but since Grant and Yuri had stacks of information about the notorious Xythis, the only crime related things that he has done was mostly gambling as well as being involved in illegal substance distribution but never has records shown him doing these kind of things. Although... They could have been covered up.

"I may dislike the guy in general because you know, he's a psycho but even he wouldn't do something this cruel." Said Yuri.

"Same here." Said Grant, "Look, I'll call you back."

"Okay, be careful." Said Yuri as the two hung up.

Meanwhile, Jason continued to draw more attention to himself with the Mohawks with zero signs of fatigue, causing many of the Mohawks were growing tired and weak.

The tracking device on Jason's glasses suddenly sprung out and jumped into his hair in which it took the form of some kind of moving minture robot. Jason then proceeded to lose the Mohawk members and jump into the vents to join with Grant and Liam.

Returning to Geminus brothers, Grant and Liam scoured through the vents, atop the whole menacing scheme, looking for something that can benefit them in stopping this whole operation and free the kidnapped victims.

Suddenly, Liam overheard two members discussing something regarding Xythis and the operation and decided to eavesdrop.

Grant then got a call from Jason and when answered it, he said "Yes, whats up?"

Jason said on the phone, "I managed to lose the Mohawks members and now I'm in the vents but I'm a little confused on your whereabouts."

Grant appeared confused and answered "You were suppose to get captured by them!" Grant gradually sighed and said "Nevermind, we just came to learn of something drastic. There's a whole human bidding operation going down here!"

Jason was shocked to learn this and said "What?! Surely Xythis wouldn't do that!"

Grant answered "That's what me and Yuri said! Anyway we-" suddenly Liam began calling and told Jason, "Hold on, let me out Liam on the phone." And he does so, "Hey what's up?"

"Big news, apparantly Xythis isn't involved in the operation as the Mohawks members are doing this behind his back." Said Liam.

Grant and Jason were shocked by this but then that shock became curiousity as Jason said "Wait, that means they are betraying Xythis and imagine what will happen if Xythis were to find out!"

Grant said "It would mean hell for the traitors... But also beneficial for us as-" but suddenly, Grant fell from the vent as it broke and landed on top of a Mohawk member. Everyone looked at Grant and immediately went after him.

Grant destroyed his phone and tried to fend off the members but their overgrowing number made it impossible and he was apprehended.

Liam watched in horror as they beaten up his brother and he was about to help him but Jason said "Wait Liam! We have to think this through!"

"But Grant-" said Liam.

But Jason cut him off, saying "I know and we will save him!"

"But how?" Asked Liam.

"Why thats simple..." said Jason with a smirk on his face "Xythis..."

In the PM office, Xythis was relaxing when he receieved a message. He picks up his phone and reads the message but in doing so, he crushed the phone into pieces and stood up.
