"You two henchmen. With me." She orders, pointing at Midas and Sophie. "The rest of you, as you were."

With a clap of her hands, all the henchmen continue about their patrol, whilst Midas and Sophie follow this new member of Shadow.

"You're both new here, aren't you?" She asks, leading them both to the back of the Authority.

"Um, yes. That's correct, ma'am." Midas responds, putting on an accent.

"Ma'am? Please, no need to be formal with me. If you're being formal with anyone, make sure it's C." The girl chuckles, folding her arms as she turns around.

"I haven't seen your face around here before, what's your name?" Sophie questions, also doing an accent.

"Oh, sorry. I'm Jules, Chaos Agent's top agent... and the leader of the Authority when C needs to be elsewhere." She introduces herself.

A beep from Jules' earpiece breaks the cold tension between the two fake henchmen and the Shadow agent.

"Yes sir, I'll be there right now." Looking back at the duo, she smiles. "Sorry you two, but I'm needed. It was nice chatting with you. You're free to go now."

As Jules walks away back inside, Sophie gives a nice wave before her hand is put down by Midas' stronger one.

"You don't wave at the enemy kid. No matter how nice they seem." He tells her, his voice going a bit darker.

"Right. S-Sorry..." And with that, they continue their trip to the Authority's prison cells.

*****************************************

Meanwhile, legendary adventurer Skye was, as Midas thought, being held captive in one of the many prison cells below the surface of the Authority. Heavily guarded by henchmen armed with assault rifles and shotguns, she wasn't sure if any remaining Ghost agents could save her.

"I should've listened to M. I should've ran." She sobs, burying her face in her hands. "But no. I had to risk my life and fight off Shadow's forces, giving bossman a shot at escape... and look at where it got me."

*Flashback*

"Sir! There's too many henchmen approaching! Orders?" Rook panics through Midas' earpiece.

"Keep up the fire Rook. Extra reinforcements are being sent to you." He orders, taking a golden finger off his earpiece.

With the Agency destroyed by Midas' Doomsday device, the building was open to oncoming Shadow henchmen, some swimming, some coming by boats and choppers.

With only a thousand henchmen, Rook, Skye and Meowscles by his side, Midas' confidence started to break down.

"Can we really beat Chaos Agent's forces?"

"...or was activating my device my call to death?"

Shaking that doubt away, gold begins to crawl upwards from his wrists and slowly cover his entire body.

"Either way, there's only one thing I know." Using his clenched fists, he punches 2 incoming henchmen away with no issues.

"This is not the day Ghost dies... and neither will I!"

Despite the odds, with everyone working together, a decent majority of Shadow henchmen are knocked out or killed. Unfortunately, the inevitable happens, and Rook, Skye and Midas are cornered.

"Uh, what now bossman?" Skye asks, pulling out her swords.

"Oh that's easy child. You are taken under Shadow's authority and your boss is executed." A dark, new voice joins in. "Well, Midas. Things really haven't gone your way tonight, have they?"

"Chaos Agent." Midas groans, the gold creeping up his arms once more.

"Oh give it a rest M. You just can't accept the truth, can you?" Chaos Agent sighs, with sudden sprouts of ink-like arms coming from behind him and dragging the Agency leader to him, holding Midas by his neck.

"You've lost this war. Just give in."

The ink coated villain motions a now choking Midas to the sight of many slaughtered henchmen and Meowscles' unconscious body. The sight is too much for Midas to bare as his golden power begins to fade.

"No! It's not over yet!" Skye announces, slicing the tentacles from Chaos Agent's back clean off, much to his painful displeasure.

"Agents, Skye, Rook... I'm s-sorry. I..." Midas starts, before Rook puts a finger to her lips. "You've done what you could sir."

Her boss turns away from her, struggling to get up.

"I'm so tired..." Is his mumbled whisper.

"Quick bossman! Hop on the launch pad and glide as far away from here as possible!" Skye cries, pinning down Chaos Agent's body with her swords.

"Agents, I am NOT running away like a coward. I'm-" He interrupted as he coughs and blood stains his hands.

"Get away from here M! While you still can!" Rook pleads, pushing him onto the launchpad anyway. Pulling out an assult rifle, she joins Skye as henchmen begin to close in on them.

"Tell me Skye. We'll be ok... right?"

"I don't know Rook...I really don't."
