The Sigma Squad escaped from the junkyard and got back on their bikes. They checked their phones and saw that they had received the final coordinate for the Street Rat key.
They decided to go there next.
They rode to the address.
It was a subway station in the downtown district. It was the territory of the Street Rats, the most chaotic and violent street gang in the city.
They parked their bikes outside and entered the station. They saw graffiti, trash, and rats everywhere. They also saw hundreds of people, some of them homeless, some of them addicts, some of them criminals. They realized that they had entered a hostile environment.
They walked around the station, looking for the key.
They noticed that there were many tunnels and trains in the station. They also noticed that there were many Street Rat members wearing hoodies, masks, and piercings. They realized that they had to be fast and stealthy.
They split up and searched different areas of the station.
Kaito went to the control room, where he hoped to find the key hidden in one of the monitors or keyboards. He used his hacking skills to bypass the security system and access the controls. He tried to manipulate the station's power and signals, looking for any hidden messages or codes.
Ryo went to the platform, where he hoped to find the key in one of the trains or carts. He used his fighting skills to board a train and fight some Street Rats who were trying to rob or assault the passengers. He searched the train, looking for any secret compartments or devices.
Haru went to the vending machine, where he hoped to find the key in one of the snacks or drinks. He used his gaming skills to hack the machine and get some free items. He also scanned the items' barcodes and labels, looking for any anomalies or patterns.
Kenji went to the speaker, where he hoped to find the key in one of the songs or announcements. He used his music skills to listen to the station's playlist and analyze its beats and lyrics. He also recorded some sounds and noises, looking for any frequencies or signals.
The Sigma Squad searched for a while, but they couldn't find anything.
They started to wonder if they were missing something.
Then, they heard an announcement on the speakers:
"Attention, Sigma Squad. You have been playing a game that will test your skills, intelligence, and courage. The game is simple: you have to find and collect four keys hidden in four different locations in the city. Each key is guarded by one of the four major gangs: Yakuza, Triads, Bikers, and Street Rats. You have already obtained three keys from the Yakuza, the Triads, and the Bikers. Now you have to obtain the last key from us: the Street Rats.
The key is hidden somewhere in this station. But it is not as easy as you think. The key is inside a special rat that has a microchip embedded in it. The rat looks like any other rat, but it has a street rat symbol on it. The rat is also programmed with a password that only we know.
You have two options: you can either try to find the rat by yourself, or you can try to catch it from us. We have placed several of our best rat catchers in different areas throughout the station. They are holding some of these special rats. If you can catch them and take their rats, they will give you one of these rats. But be warned: they are not easy to catch. They are experts in their rats and they know how to use them.
You have 3 hours to complete this part of the game. If you fail or refuse to play, you will face dire consequences. You are not allowed to contact anyone outside of your team or use any external help. You are being watched at all times.
Good luck."
The Sigma Squad was shocked by the announcement. They realized that they had been duped by someone who knew their identities and their plans.
They had no choice but to play along.
They decided to try both options: finding and catching.
They contacted each other through their earpieces and shared their information.
Kaito said that he had found a video feed of all the rats in the station, but he couldn't tell which ones were special without zooming in on them.
Ryo said that he had found a trap that contained some rats, but he couldn't open it without knowing how to disarm it.
Haru said that he had found some clues that hinted at a password, but he couldn't solve them without knowing their origin.
Kenji said that he had found some rats that had some symbols on them, but he couldn't catch them without knowing how to lure them.
They realized that they needed each other's help.
They decided to work together as a team.
They came up with a plan:
Kaito would hack into the station's video system and create a distraction by playing some funny clips and memes.
Ryo would use this opportunity to sneak into the trap and free some rats.
Haru would use these rats to solve some clues and find some more rats.
Kenji would use these rats to attract some rat catchers and take their rats.
They would then meet at a designated spot and exchange their findings.
They hoped that they would find the special rat among them.
They executed their plan.

It was "STREET RATS".
They entered the password and unlocked the rat.
It revealed a metal key with a Street Rat symbol on it.
They grabbed it and shouted:
"We got it! We got it!"
They showed it to each other, who cheered and hugged them.
They had solved the last part of the game.
