— CODE Base: Mission Briefing —
Gunther laughs as he commented on them going wild and even acting like terrorists themselves as long as Anthony is dead. He dismissed them to leave as he gave them the location of their target.
In their dressing room, particularly the boys' room, they looked at the location. Void asked out loud:
"Africa?"
Another person read, "Nigeria."
Then Demon completed it, "Lagos City."
They all breathed out, already feeling stressed.

— Lagos City: Anthony's Arrival —
In Lagos, Anthony was in a car that was heavily guarded by security. He spoke to the man beside him in military uniform. Anthony asked:
"Am I protected? Nobody knows my location, right?"
Odinohia answered, "Yes. You got good security and even power users on your side. Plus Lagos City's top hero is on our side, so don't worry."
Anthony was calm, hearing Odinohia's reassuring words.

— Skyscraper: Void's Signal —
On top of a skyscraper, Void watched as he saw a group of armed soldiers and security clearing a path as Anthony stepped out of the car, rushing into a hotel with more soldiers. Void quickly informed everyone in his team that the target had arrived.
---
— Hotel Front: The Setup —
Immediately, everybody started making their move.
First, it was Sonia who had already given some kids money to throw a bag close to where the soldiers were standing guard. She promised to pay them if they did so. The children followed her instruction. They threw the bag close to the soldiers and acted like they wanted to pick it up.
As the soldiers chased them away and picked up the bag, another soldier noticed and started arguing, insisting they give the bag back to the children, which the first soldier refused.
Sonia gave the children the money she promised and immediately informed Rex of her success.
The soldier opened the bag and spotted a black bomb-like artifact. Immediately, he screamed for everyone to clear—
But it was too late. Rex had already triggered the bomb.
---
— Chaos Begins —
The explosion blasted through the front of the hotel, killing soldiers and civilians too. The sound of the bomb caught the attention of other soldiers who ran out, readying their weapons to fight.
Suddenly, Rex rode his bike, crashing into the soldiers and knocking them aside. As the rest of the soldiers opened fire at him, he didn't back down, dodging more bullets as he pushed closer to them.
He grabbed one soldier's face, bringing out fire from his hand, burning the soldier to death.
The other soldiers, seeing this, knew Rex was a power user. They called for backup—failing to realize Sonia had already taken care of their backup.
---
— Void's Assist —
In the midst of the chaos, some soldiers escaped and regrouped, launching a target at Sonia and Rex.
But Void saw them.
He got ready with his sniper. The moment the soldiers fired the rocket, in a twinkle of an eye, Void's bullet hit the rocket before it left the RPG completely, igniting it and blowing it up in front of the soldiers, killing them.
---
— Panic in Command —
Odinohia, seeing how the fight was going, quickly called the power users he mentioned, speaking in frustration and anger, trying to figure out how it was possible for their location to be known.
Meanwhile, Void had already killed up to 12 soldiers, not leaving a soul, as he heard Demon's voice praising him:
"Keep on going and don't lack."
---
— CODE HQ: Tech Sector —
In a hotel not far from the action, Demon could be seen in a room filled with people with computer gadgets and high-level tech as he threw down commands to different sectors.
One of the hackers informed Demon about the bridge progress, saying Shiver was handling things but may soon lose ground since heroes might arrive at any moment.
Demon reassured him, "Shiver can handle it."
---
— Bridge Battle: Shiver vs. Quicky —
Meanwhile, Shiver was taking down any incoming police cars by freezing them, killing any officers that didn't want to back down. He muttered:
"Damn Demon, putting me in this place to handle all this mess alone."
Suddenly, he got hit by something moving fast. He turned and saw the top hero Quicky, who resumed throwing punches at Shiver within seconds.
Shiver got more annoyed and screamed in anger, bursting ice blades in his surroundings, trying to hit Quicky.
---
— Roadblock: Star Appears —
At the other side of the city, more of Demon's squad members blocked the roads leading to the hotel.
Another top hero, Star, arrived. She helped civilians leave the area. As no more civilians were around, she moved closer to the hotel—
Then dodged a bullet from Void.
As she turned to locate the direction of the bullet, she was kicked by Killer, who was ready to end her life without mercy.
---
— Bridge Stalled: Spark and Lana —
At the bridge, Spark and Lana could be seen preparing to move in, but the fight between Shiver and Quicky blocked their path. Their car couldn't pass due to Shiver's ice.
---
— Hotel Room: Rising Tension —
Back in the hotel, Anthony was working on another humanoid monster, while Odinohia murmured in frustration as things were not going to plan.
He quickly spoke to Quicky through his earpiece.
Quicky responded, calling Odinohia:
"Uncle."
He explained, "I got things under control. I just must take down the guy with the ice power."
He cut the call and focused on Shiver.
But Shiver had already figured out his attack pattern.
He drove an ice blade into Quicky's stomach, slowing him down.
Before Quicky could retreat, Shiver cut off his right leg in an instant, saying:
"Stupid piece of trash. I will make you my bitch and feed you to my dogs."
In the room where Demon and the others were, they heard Shiver's words. Some felt fear and discomfort from the comment.
Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony had completed his humanoid monster, laughing and calling it his masterpiece.
---
— Monster Unleashed —
Rex and Sonia, now done with the soldiers at the front, informed everyone they were moving in.
Void, watching the hotel, saw something moving fast—it was black in colour. He used Four Sight and spotted the humanoid monster moving quickly between floors, heading for Rex and Sonia.
He quickly warned them.
But before they could react, the monster came crashing down.
It slashed its claws into Rex's chest. Rex quickly pushed Sonia out of the way and triggered a small explosion, sending the monster back.
Blood spilled from Rex's chest. He stood back up.
Demon and the others showed no emotion, continuing their tasks.
Demon asked:
"Can you still fight?"
Rex replied angrily:
"What kind of dumb ass question is that, boss man? What do you think?"
Demon laughed as Rex seared his wound shut with flames from his hand, groaning as he burned through the pain.
He stood, eyes locked on the monster.
Sonia asked if they could use the puppies to handle the creature.
Demon turned to the hackers.....
