Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 123
"Okay, understood. Thanks, grandma. We'll take care of business from here." Charles relayed Madam Louise's message to the team in Paris. Everyone was relieved that Townsville has been secured. Now they could fully focus on taking the fight to Pamela. "Thank you for the message, Charles. How go the preparations on your side?" asked Derek. "We are all set, brother. Let's lure them in." replied Charles. "Well done. You and your team standby. Madam Louise should have a read on your location with the marker you have placed." said Derek. "Indeed, I do." replied Madam Louise, who by that time established contact with the Paris team. "I see multiple hostiles heading to the empty construction site now." "Roger that, grandma. Let's take care of them." replied Mason, who was at the site with Charles, Ivy, Chloe and Victoria. Soon after, a sizable contingent of Pamela's henchmen arrived at the empty site. "That is a well-armed contingent. They got guns and some explosives, prepare to atta

"How is this possible? How are you both still alive?" Derek was stunned, rooted to the spot. Charles, Mason, Chloe and Madam Louise could not believe what they saw either, as Edward and Emma Smith, supposedly deceased foster parents of Derek, walked closer to Derek, still with their hands in the air. "My son, I'm glad to see you still alive; but what are you doing here in Paris? For that matter, what are all of you doing here in Paris?" asked Edward, turning his direction towards Charles, Mason and Chloe. "We could ask you both the same question, Uncle Edward; but I suggest we head back inside to avoid detection. We can ask questions later." replied Chloe. "Chloe is right. We can't afford detection by Pamela. Please, follow us." ushered Mason. Edward and Emma were hesitant to follow but Derek reassured them, "It's ok, mum and dad. You can trust them." "Very well. Let's go." said Emma. All of them then went back to the safehouse. Mason took one last quick scan before closing the do

Before setting off from their safehouse, the invasion team discussed how they were going ot attack Pamela's headquarters. They decided to send Bowen, Victoria and Alex to the expansion site they want to attack initially, just to cause a diversion. With Pamela's forces distracted, the next phase of their plan was to attack the HQ directly, in hopes to finish their war with Pamela once and for all. Back in the safehouse, Jim was watching the team's movements from the meeting room, which doubled up as the war room, while Ivy was managing the equipment. Edward and Emma volunteered to be the safehouse's security. As Jim was continuing surveillance, Ivy walked in and closed the door behind her. At first Jim did not mind her entering the room; but when Ivy locked the door behind her, Jim was surprised. "Ivy, what's the matter? Why did you have to lock the door?" Jim asked curiously. Ivy, however, put her finger on the lips, implying to Jim to lower his voice. "Keep it down, Jim. I don't

Derek, Charles, Mason and Victoria rushed into the safehouse, into the war room, when they heard Chloe's bone chilling scream of Ivy's name. "Chloe! What happened?" asked Charles when they barged into the war room. They followed Chloe's sight to the screen and were utterly shocked at what they saw. To everyone's horror, it was a picture of Ivy, chained up by her arms in what looked like a dungeon, her face bruised terribly and blood marks all over her body. Victoria burst into tears seeing the gruesome sight. Mason and Charles seethed in anger seeing Ivy in such a horrendous situation. Derek then noticed a blinking notification on the screen, with Ivy's name on it. "Strange. Why is Ivy's name on the screen?" Derek asked curiously. "Youn... Mas..." "Jim!" Derek saw Jim slowly regaining consciousness and, with Chloe's assistance, helped Jim to a seat at the meeting table. Victoria went to get a glass of water for Jim to hydrate himself. "Guys, make sure he stays awake while I t

"Damn. Look at this place." said Desmond as he landed on the construction site with the rescue team sent by Madam Louise. When they landed, they saw multiple bodies strewn all over the floor with an empty humvee at the entrance."It looks like they are still alive. The invasion team must have put them to sleep with those tranquilizer darts. What should we do with them?" asked Wayne."Hmm... you know what. They may come in handy. Keith, help me out. Let's wake one of them up." replied Desmond. Together, Keith and Desmond dragged one of Pamela's unconscious henchmen to the corner and tied him up. Juri joined them at the corner with a bucket of water she prepared and threw it at the henchman."Wake up, you b*****d! Nap time's over!" said Juri. The tied up henchmen slowly opened his eyes as he regained consciousness."What the..." the henchman struggled to break free; but one rib punch from Desmond stopped him, instantly and painfully. "If you wish to continue breathing... unlike your bre

"Guys, what should we do with these henchmen laying around here? Especially the one still hanging in the corner?" asked Keith. "Yeah, good point. We should resolve this matter first. What do you suggest, enforcer?" asked Desmond. "Tough call, bro. I mean, we're not in Townsville, so I don't really know how to handle this." replied Keith. "Don't worry, Keith. We are in foreign territory. No one will criticize you on how you want to handle things here." Wayne reassured him. "Hmm.... Ok, follow my lead." Keith and the rescue team then dragged all the unconcious henchmen, including the one they interrogated and subsequently tasered to unconsciousness, into an empty room big enough to contain the henchmen. After that, Keith activated two nanoshield spheres to contain the room. No one would be able to escape now. "Well, that takes care of those thugs. Now, to find our lost partners. Quinton Phonices, you fly on ahead to find Alex, Bowen and Henry. Holly, Esther, you go ahead and join th
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 129
With Alex, Bowen, Henry and their squad safely located and reunited with the Quinton Phoenices, Holly and Esther, the rest of the rescue team, namely Desmond, Wayne, Nick, Keith and Nathan made their way to the safehouse to continue their mission to reclaim it. They decided to stop the humvee at a safe distance away from the back of the safehouse, away from prying eyes just in case Pamela's henchmen spots them. "Ok, let's take a bird's eye view of the situation at hand." said Nathan. He then activated one of his upgraded drones from his suit and sent it flying high above the safehouse, at a height where the henchmen would not notice. Once the drone was hovering on top at the center of the safehouse, Wayne assisted Nathan in activating the heat signature function of the drone. "Ok, from the looks of it, there are about ten henchmen spread around the safehouse and at different levels. It looks like there are two of them in the control room." observed Keith. "That control room is

A second henchmen was on his way to his patrol spot when he saw his comrade on the floor near the guard post of the front entrance. He saw that his comrade was unconscious. Immediately, he contacted the rest of the henchmen to the guard post."What the hell happened here?" asked the lead henchmen who saw his colleague on the floor. "I don't know, boss. I was on my way here to the guard post when I saw him on the floor." replied the henchman who reported the incident."Hmmm... it looks like he got shot by a sleeping dart. Look at his neck." said the lead henchman. They all took a closer look and sure enough, the henchman who was hit by the dart still had the dart on his neck."We have an intruder in the safehouse. From what I can tell, this has to be the work of the enemy. I've heard quite a bit of the way our enemy takes us down." concluded the lead henchman."Search the safehouse. The enemy may already be inside." commanded the lead henchman. The rest of the henchmen spread out, in a

Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 3 - Quinton Consortium Worldwide
The cameras were flashing as journalists and reporters gathered at the eagerly anticipated launch of the new mall in Townsville, specifically located near the Townsville Hillside Condo. Standing in front of the main entrance, Desmond and Jocelyn faced the crowd. Desmond then took the mic to address the crowd, "After months of construction, through reported ups and downs, we are happy to announce, on behalf of the Quinton Consortium, the officially opening of Townsville Hillside Mall." said Desmond. He then took his side next to Jocelyn and proceeded to perform the cutting of the ribbon, signalling that the Townsville Hillside Mall was officially opened. Applause rang all around the front as Desmond and Jocelyn opened the front entrance doors, welcoming the crowd into the mall. In another corner of Townsville, Wayne and Kimberly were also dressed sharply; but for a different reason. Joining them were Roland and Elaine Russo, as all four of them stood in front of the main entrance t
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 2 - The Don and his bride
"Brother Derek, are you sure about this?" asked Charles as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tuxedo; but not any ordinary tuxedo. Derek had Charles wear his diamond encrusted tuxedo, the most expensive tuxedo he bought from Nick Lopez when he first found out he was a Quinton. "I'm sure about it, Charles. I know I bought it for me initially; but in all honesty, you wearing this tux means so much more." Derek reassured Charles. "Man, I'm nervous. Brother, how did you even go through your wedding with Ms. Amanda?" asked Charles exasperately. "Desmond told me to take a deep breath to calm my nerves. It could work for you, too." replied Derek. Charles decided to take Derek's advice and took two deep breaths. Surprisingly, he felt much calmer. Then he and Derek heard a knock on the door. In walked Mason, "Brother, are you ready?" asked Mason. "As ready as I'll ever be." replied Charles. All three of them then walked upstairs... to the top deck of Charles's superyach
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 1 - Closure
The prison gate key entered the lock. With a click, the warden opened the cell gate, with mixed emotions. "Madam Louise... it's time." In her cell, Madam Louise looked around the jail cell she had been living in, serving her time for her past wrongs. She thought about the time she spent in the cell, forming a close friendship with the warden, being released early to help Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia, eventually being a key player in the fight against Pamela. It was a sad day to leave her family after the fight ended; but heading back to prison was necessary. Thanks to Lea Quinton, however, she did not have to stay in prison any longer. She received a pardon from the Mayor of Townsville; and now, she can leave the Townsville prison freely. She slowly stood up and walked towards the cell door, where she noticed her warden friend had a tear in his eye. Smiling slightly, she wiped the tear away from his eye. "No need to weep for me, young man. We will meet again, outside of t

With the mask worn on his face; and the briefcase full of cash repacked into a duffel bag found in the control room, Charles slung the bag over his shoulder, ready to move out of Pamela's HQ. Before heading out, Charles made sure to surround himself in a nanoshield sphere to avoid any sudden sneak attacks. After which, Charles used his upgraded suit to do a thorough scan, looking to devise an alternate way out of Pamela's HQ. 'Hmmm... it looks like I'm going to have to blast my way out of here. Time to check out what weapons are at my disposal.' Charles thought to himself. Scanning the system in his suit through his mask, Charles was surprised to find various forms of weaponry to pave his way out. "Well then, let's get started." Charles said to himself. However, as we was about to step out of Pamela's control room, an alarm sounded inside of the control room. Red emergency lights were flickering in the control room. Charles turned his direction to one of the screens in the control

"Gerard! Andrea! You certainly have some guts showing your faces here after you betrayed me!" Pamela sneered at the couple. "Lady Boss... wait! We did not betray you." Gerard defended himself. "That's right, Lady Boss! The hostages... they escaped!!" shouted Andrea. "WHAT?!?!?" Pamela shouted angrily. She then turned her attention to Charles, who was standing there, perplexed. "Charles!! You were at the dungeon earlier. You said you saw your team in their cells. Is that true?!?" Pamela asked authoritatively. "Absolutely, Lady Boss. I personally locked up the dungeon after making sure that loser Derek was in his cell." replied Charles. "He's lying, Lady Boss. Charles must still be working with his friends. Somehow, they managed to get their suits from the lab and escape from this place." Gerard said accusingly, pointing at Charles at the same time. "Hold on there, Gerard. Up until just now, when Lady Boss showed me her lab, I did not even know that existed." Charles defended hims
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 138
"You tell me, Charles. How did you and that loser escape in the first place?" Pamela asked suspiciously. Charles was calm in his answer, "Well, I found a couple of metal pins in my cell and I used it to pick my cell lock." Charles began. "Once I got free, that's where I hatched my plan. I picked the lock of Derek's cell. I had to convince him that he and I were on the same team in taking you out. So, while the rest were in their cells, which, by the way, they still are, Derek and I made our way out of the dungeon." explained Charles. "Well, you certainly have some talent, unlike that loser. Still, Gerard and Andrea not reporting back is concerning for me." replied Pamela. As she looked at the monitors of the control room, she noticed something peculiar, then she started frowning. "What's wrong, Lady Boss?" asked Charles. "Take a look at that." said Pamela, pointing Charles's attention to one of the monitors surveying the lab. "What about it, Lady Boss?" asked Charles curiously. "C

Before Charles could answer, they heard footsteps approaching the dungeon. Derek passed Gerard's dungeon keys to Charles before he cloaked himself again. In order to play along with Pamela's ploy, Charles quickly opened the dungeon door, placed Victoria gently inside before locking the door again. The footsteps grew audibly closer towards the dungeon door. Charles turned his attention towards the sound of those footsteps and walked in that direction, taking caution to who he might run into. As he turned around the corner, he found out who those footsteps belong to. "Oh my gosh, Esther. What are you doing here?" Charles exclaimed softly as he embraced his girlfriend. "Wait, you shouldn't be here. Didn't Mr. Quinton give you and the rest the order to head to the safehouse?" asked Charles. "I had to come here. I was not going to let that b***h Pamela take you." replied Esther emotionally. Just then, Derek decloaked himself and met up with Charles and Esther. "Esther, so it was you. G

"Ok, Charles, the feed is on." said Pamela. "Take your position, on Derek's right side." "Understood, Lady Boss." replied Charles. Seconds later, everyone, including the people in the Phoenix Bunker, the safehouse and the combined invasion and rescue team saw the live feed on their screens. "Your eyes do not deceive you, Peter. Charles has betrayed you. He has decided to join a real mafia and I will nurture him properly, so he can be a real Don." began Pamela. "As you can see, I have your son as hostage. If you ever want to see Derek again, in one piece and alive, firstly, call off your attack dogs. Secondly, you will, and I mean WILL, surrender your precious Quinton Consortium to me. Oh, before I forget, that includes your so-called Phoenix Mafia as well." "And just in case you think I'm not being serious... " Pamela then did something no one expected. She pressed a button on her control panel; and in the next moment, Ivy's suit emerged from a corner of her control room. 'What th
