Sabaody Archipelago: 000/ Sabaody General Hospital
21:52
Running down the hall the Baring family frantically made their way to the staircase that Dina and Baioretto had just previously come up "Where is Juno, why isn't he coming with us." spoke Cudo as he looked back. "Trust me, the best thing for us is to get as far away from here as possible, those were his orders." the image of Baioretto being choked out haunted the mind of Dina as she ran with her father, opening the door to the staircase there was one of the assassins and it froze Dina because she wasn't expecting it and that's when Cudo punched the man in the face knocking him down the stairs and clean on his ass. Dina looked back at her father in amazement "What? I wasn't letting Juno have all the fun." he said in jest. When Dina turned to continue her descent Cudo shook his hand in pain from punching someone, you would think it was his first time doing that. Successfully making it out of the hospital they would start their journey back towards the parts of Sabaody where they could effectively protect themselves and that's when it happened, a large explosion happened which caused the duo to freeze, descending right in front of them was Grato who made a small crater around his landing, dusting himself off the man kept his usually bleak face the same. "Well then, shall we finish this now that the distraction is taken care of?"
Immediately Dina began to worry once those words escaped the mouth of Grato, had he truly killed Baioretto? someone she had seen as so strong and smart was defeated so easily.. "Y-y-you're a monster!" she yelled out before he released a slight and rare smirk "I know." Lifting his right arm Grato would aim his pistol at Dina who was seven meters away, standing still in protest Dina was prepared once more to take the bullet, pulling her by her arm was her father jerking her body away from the situation making sure his daughter didn't get caught. The duo cut down an alley which was near the hospital. A sigh escaped Grato's mouth "There's always a chase I suppose." lighting a cigarette he'd start his motion towards the alleyway before he himself started moving at a great speed.
"We have to go back for Juno Father!" yelled Dina as she tried to fight her father's strength which he was exerting to nearly drag her down the alleyway. "No, we wouldn't be any help to him if we go back to that damn hospital, if he was truly defeated then I will mourn his death but I don't think you can take someone like Juno out that easy!" spoke Cudo with a glimmer of hope in his eye while he continued to run, "How do you know that father!" protested Dina "Because, he's special." spoke her father which shocked Dina while also getting her focused on escaping Grato herself. "Maybe we can get the marines, they can help us!." spoke Dina. As the light at the end of the alleyway shined her father turned back "That might be a good idea Dina, we are close to their districts." A fist met the face of Cudo at the end of the alleyway sending him clashing against a storefront twelve meters from impact. "Silly bitch, I am the marines." spoke Grato who had actually slapped Cudo with his pistol.
