Carmen's POV

After I knocked Shadowsan out, I got on my motorcycle and rode off.

It was the first time after 1 year that I finally saw Shadowsan again.

Even though when he worked for V.I.L.E. and was assigned to take my dad's life, he saved me from the house fire when I was a few months old.

He wasn't the one who took my dad's life.

Chief was.

That's why I ended whatever alliance I had with them after Stockholm.

I wonder one thing.

What would happen if Chief new I was Dexter Wolfe's daughter?

I was pulled out my thoughts, when a paper star flew in front of my motorcycle, popping the front tire.

I did a backflip off the motorcycle.

It crashed into a wall.

"It's a shame." Said Tigress behind me. "That motorcycle will be expensive to repair."

I turned around.

Paper Star, El Topo, La Chévre, and Tigress were there.

"If there's any scratches on my motorcycle," I began. "It wouldn't be the first thing you scratched."

Tigress scoffed.

"Four to one." She said. "2 choices. 1, you give up, we beat you unconscious, then we deliver you to the heads of V.I.L.E. 2, you try to fight, we beat you unconscious, then we deliver you to the heads of V.I.L.E."

"That... seems like a really crappy deal." I said. "And an overdone motivation."

"What!?" They said in union.

"First off, you saying I don't have a choice in the matter." I said. "Secondly, the whole "we'll beat you up then deliver you to our bosses" bit has been done to death. Why not go rogue and start being your own team? I already beat all four of you."

"I have an idea." Said El Topo. "Take off that Helmet and we will see whose got the overdone motivations. Ms. Secret Identity."

"Whatevs, El Topo." I shrugged. "Just trying to help you out."

"You can help us out be showing you face." Said La Chévre, pointing his finger at me.

"No way, La Chévre" I said.

"That is "Le Chévre."" Said La Chévre. "Not "La." "La" is feminine. I am a dude. Like, you are La Femme Rouge, so you are a woman. And not only because you have "Femme" your name. Say it correctly, it pisses me off when nobody says it right."

"Why do you think I'm saying it, La Chévre?" I said, smirking under my mask.

La Chévre screamed in anger, then charged at me.

He swung a left hook at me.

I dodged.

Then El Topo came from behind and tried to tackle me.

I dodged and he ended up tackling La Chévre by accident.

"Sorry, Mi Amigo." Said El Topo.

"It is quite alright, Mon Ami." Groaned La Chévre.

Paper Star was throwing origami stars at me, and every single one I dodged ended up impaling the cement.

Soon she was out of ammo.

Paper Star charged right towards me.

Tigress came from behind and held me in a chokehold.

"Harder please." I said jokingly.

Tigress growled loudly.

Paper Star tried to punch me in the abdomen.

Paper Star instantly regretted her decision.

She ended up bruised her hand for hitting the hard surface of my armor.

Hey, I spent months working on it.

She pulled back her hand and howled in pain.

"Gotta give you a round of applause for attempting to do that." I said.

I pulled out of Tigress's grasp and turned to trip her.

I pulled out one of my pistols and shot a dart into Paper Star's leg.

She passed out almost instantly.

I holstered my pistol.

El Topo swung at me, I grabbed his wrist and flipped him onto his back.

Turned to Tigress.

"Final round, one to one now." I said.

Tigress got up.

"You wanna be the new Carmen?" She said equipping her clawed gloves. "You're an imposter. I'll unfortunately have to stain my claws with your blood. There'll never be another Carmen Sandiego."

Shadowsan's POV

I awoke in the backseat of a vehicle.

"Look, Zack, Shadowsan's awake." Said Ivy.

She turned to me.

"You're not gonna believe this." Said Ivy.

"How did I arrive here?" I asked.

"We found you unconscious by the harbor." Said Ivy. "Listen, it's gonna sound a little far fetched, but Carmen is alive."

My eyes went wide.

"What?" I asked. "My daughter is alive?"

This is wonderful.

Carmen is alive.

"Not only that," Said Ivy. "She just so happens to be La Femme Rouge."

What?
