Prologue
"Breach in level 7!" a voice shouted over the loud, blaring sound of the alarm.
"We need someone up there!"
"Where the hell is General Cullen?!"
"Someone get the General!"
"We need soldiers!"
"Would everyone calm the hell down!" Captain Jacob Black roared over the loud soldiers. Turning to the closest soldier next to him he sighed, "Send security up there, quarantine the floor, no one goes near or gets onto that floor until the General gets here. You" he pointed towards a smaller brunette, "Send an SOS to General Cullen and make sure Team Alpha get here"
Taking a much needed breath, Captain Black rubbed a hand over his face in frustration. "Everyone else get back to work, I want everyone working to find the cause of this. I want to know who did this, how they did this and why they did it"
"Dr Denali?" He called out the blonde scientist who sat in front of one of the various monitor.
"Captain Black?"
"What was in Level 7?"
Tanya Denali hesitated, "That's the development floor Sir. We were working on a few different things but the main one- well it was what we called Xiolatone Sephelian"
"Dumb it down for me, Doc?"
Dr Denali smiled tightly, "It's a chemical weapon, Captain"
Three pairs of footsteps echoed down the long hallway as three figures, covered by black long hooded cloaks walked towards the main room. The large double doors opened to reveal a grand room, its furnishings old and antique, with three men sat in the center protected by a small group of silent bodyguards placed around the room.
The thin, pale, back haired man sat in the middle turned to the three. A bright smile on his face as he looked at the briefcase they carried.
"My, is that it?" He asked gleefully as he stepped forward.
The blonde man in the middle nodded tersely, "Yes Sir" he moved forward to hand the older man the briefcase.
"Aro?" The man previously sat next to him asked.
Aro smiled back at him, "Caius my dear brother, this is something we have been looking forward to for quite some time"
Caius raised an eyebrow, but before he could ask another voice spoke up, "Aro is that?"
"Chemical XS? The one our dear Carlisle has been working so very hard to keep safe?" Aro laughed, "Yes it is Marcus"
Marcus smiled, "That is incredible"
"It truly is, brother" Aro replied.
With a wave of his hand the three hooded figures dropped to their knees as they knelt in front of him, their heads bowed in respect.
"You three have done well" Aro said as he moved back up the stairs to his throne, the briefcase securely held in his hands. "You may leave. Be here tomorrow morning at six. I want to play a little with Carlisle's toy"
"Yes Sir" the three replied in unison as they rose and made their way out of the room. With the door tightly closed Caius laughed in disbelief at the briefcase in his brother's hands.
"This has been your most genius plan yet brother"
Marcus joined in from beside them, "And to think, we used his own flesh and blood to do so"
Aro nodded, "It seems the time has come to break Carlisle once and for all"
