Suggested by underworld_stories
Bo, Brutas, Finn, and Hyde reach a Mercenary outpost on the edge of Bank City. There, they learn Marc is being transported by plane—back to Mercenary Isle. Without pause, they push deeper into the city, making their way to the airport. A firefight erupts with Mercenary operatives. Amid the chaos, Brutas reaches the plane, frees Marc, and hijacks it mid-takeoff. Bo, Hyde, and Finn escape as gunfire blazes behind them—only to see the plane spiraling down. They rush to the crash site and find both Marc and Brutas alive, bruised but breathing. Marc leads them to an apartment in the city—one he’s had for years. During his youth in the military, Bank City was like a second home. Once there, they send coordinates to the others. Soon Sasha, Bao, Jack, and Grace arrive, Norman in shackles again. He grumbles for release. They ignore him. Marc reveals his theory: Mercenary’s base may be a mansion on a private island just off the coast. He and Bo gear up and head out. But when they arrive, it’s a setup. Agent Gunn is waiting. He introduces himself with a smirk and sets a time bomb. Bo and Marc barely escape, diving into the sea and swimming back to shore. Meanwhile, back at the mansion, the others aren’t alone. Kitty Hall steps from the shadows, her pistol pressed to Sasha’s head. The game just changed.
