Chapter 14: Discovery
(The chopper gets closer to the Empire State Building.)
Charles - Get the prisoners ready and drag them out.
Abraham - Get up.
Sheila - Fuck you.
(He cocks the pistol.)
Abraham - Now.
(They start to get up. The Empire State Building now has a built in helipad and it lands. Charles is now talking into the walkie.)
Maria (Whispers) - What now?
Andrea (Whispers) - We kill them all.
Maria (Whispers) - That's too risky.
Andrea (Whispers) - I don't care... They have my niece and my sister, I'll kill whoever hurts them and anyone who gets in my way.
Felipe (Whispers) - Wow you just sounded like Charles.
Andrea (Whispers) - I'm sorry do you have a better idea?
Felipe (Whispers) - Well–
Andrea (Whispers) - No? Then shut up!
Sheila (Whispers) - Whoa An–
(Abraham hits Sheila with the pistol.)
Abraham - Shut up!
(The back of the chopper opens and they see an army of Anarchy soldiers aiming at them.)
Maria - Shit...
Seiko - Move.
(Andrea's eyes turn semi black and her claws start to grow out. She looks at all the soldiers and sticks her hands out. All the soldiers drop to the floor.)
Charles - Oh shit... Get them!
(Abraham aims his pistol at Andrea.)
(In Nexus Base.)
Charles (On Radio) - Take her down Abraham!
(A gun shot is heard and then a sound of a body being banged to a wall is heard.)
Paola - What's going on?
Zayna - Did he... kill her?
Abraham (On Radio) - What? You're... you're alive?
Carlos (On Radio) - Do you think I'll die that easily, besides as I said I don't plan on giving up yet.
Jordan - Oh shit he's–
Annie - He's alive!
(At the Empire State Building.)
(Carlos knees Abraham in the stomach and then he punches him in the face hard that he falls to the floor. Charles aims the gun at Carlos. He uses telekinesis, Charles's hand moves as he fire the gun. The bullet hits the chopper wall.)
Carlos - Run!
(They turn around.)
Sheila - Holy shit.
(Carlos holds his side and starts running, one of the soldiers start to stand up. Carlos kicks him in the face and the other soldiers start to stand. Three Shrieks bust out of the other chopper that's on the helipad. The soldiers start shooting as the others jump to their sides and break through the window and enter the room. They land on their sides as bullets penetrate through the window. They sit behind cover.)
Maria - Let me see the wound.
(He raises the lower part of his shirt a bit. She puts her hand on his stab wound and the wound starts to heal.)
Carlos - Ngh.
(The wound starts to heal under her hand, then she removes it. Three shrieks jump into the room.)
Felipe - Shrieks!
Sheila - Run to the door we'll keep you covered.
(Andrea gets up and launches the shrieks across the room.)
Andrea - I have to find Ely!
Seiko - Get a grenade in there!
(Andrea leaves the room as the grenade goes through the window landing on the floor.)
Carlos - Get out!
(Maria & Felipe jump into the staircase. Carlos & Sheila jump out of the window the glass shatters and an explosion is heard.)
(Few seconds later, showing the events of Chapter 1: Prologue.)
Carlos (Narrating) - Here we are now free falling trying to escape and then try to stop a madman who has no boundaries or weakness.
(Sheila pulls out the spike from her arm.)
Sheila - What now?!
(They continue free falling.)
Carlos - I have a plan! Hold on to my arm!
(She grabs his arm tightly.)
Sheila - What are you going to do?!
Carlos - I'm going to launch you into the building!
Sheila - Okay do it!
(He aims his hand at her and launches her at the glass window from Sheila holding his arm he also gets launched. They break to the glass and enter the room, Carlos sees that they're heading at the wall fast. Carlos grabs Sheila and turns around while in midair so he can be in front of her. He hits the wall hard and breaks Sheila's impact, he lands on the floor and she lands on top of him.)
Carlos & Sheila - Ngh.
(Carlos lets go of Sheila and she rolls off. Sheila starts to get up.)
Sheila - Heh... I thought we were done for.
(Carlos gets up. The top part of the Empire State Building hits the street floor causing everything to shake from impact. Sheila falls but Carlos catches her.)
Sheila - Thanks.
Carlos - Yeah, don't mention it.
(Sheila punches him in the face.)
Sheila - That's for scaring us and making me worried.
(He starts to rub his cheek.)
Carlos - Geez sorry I had to play dead so I can get them off guard, I didn't mean to scare any of you like that.
Sheila - And really jumping out the window there was a staircase there like come on what were you thinking.
Carlos - We wouldn't have made it to the staircase in time, and admit it you had fun free falling.
Sheila - Okay you have a point about not making it to the staircase... and yes that actually was fun.
(She starts to look around.)
Sheila - Where are we?
Carlos - I don't know, looks like some kind of office.
(He sees a monitor on the wall and a table monitor.)
Carlos - Looks like an intel room like the one we have.
Sheila - Lets check it to see if we find anything on it.
(They go to the monitor and turn it on but it needs a password.)
Carlos - Shit... It needs a password.
(He looks over at Sheila.)
Sheila - Call Rebecca, they took our stuff before landing.
(He puts a finger on his ear piece.)
Carlos - Rebecca?
(At Nexus Base, Rebecca runs towards the coms.)
Rebecca - Carlos! What happened?! Where's the others?!
Carlos (On Monitor Speakers) - I don't know... I'm with Sheila, Maria and Felipe are somewhere within the staircase and Andrea is looking for her sister and Ely... That son of a bitch has them somewhere in the building.
Liliana - Oh my god! Are you serious?!
Carlos (On Monitor Speakers) - Yeah and there's probably Anarchy soldiers looking for us.
Rebecca - You need to regroup and get the hell out of there.
Carlos (On Monitor Speakers) - I know, I know... We found a monitor that needs a password, do you think Celeste can hack it?
Celeste - Do I think? Come on that's like an insult to me. Besides I already hacked they're communication system.
Carlos (Joking Through The Monitor Speakers) - Well shit, you finally do something right.
Alison - I know right.
Celeste (Joking) - Geez don't back me up too much.
(She starts typing into the monitor.)
Celeste - Okay you're on the 70th floor... Okay I got the IP Address... Wait, oh crap.
Carlos (On Monitor Speakers) - What is it?
Annie - What did you find?
Celeste - Do you know who that monitor belongs to?
Carlos (On Monitor Speakers) - Umm, no why?
(In The Empire State Building.)
Celeste (On Ear Piece) - It belongs to Charles.
(Carlos looks at Sheila in a surprised way.)
Sheila - What is it?
Celeste (On Ear Piece) - You're in the asshole's office.
Carlos - This belongs to Charles... we're in his office.
Sheila - Then we need to get everything we can.
Carlos - Celeste hack the monitor and get everything you can off of this.
Celeste (On Ear Piece) - Way ahead of you.
(They look at the monitor and see that the files are starting to be copied.)
Sheila - Tell Celeste that she's so awesome.
Celeste (On Ear Piece) - I heard her and tell her I try hard not to be and it just happens.
Carlos - She says she tries hard not be and it just happens.
(Felipe & Maria exit the staircase, they see a hallway and an office that was turned into some kind of testing facility.)
Felipe - Where are we?
Maria - What the hell is this?
(They see test tubes and test chambers and they see the creatures sleeping within the test chambers.)
Felipe - It looks like some kind of experimenting facility.
Maria - Experimenting? On what their creatures?
Felipe - I don't know look around incase we find any information.
(They walk more forward as they see desks cumulated with scattered files and papers. Maria picks up a file and opens it, the first paper says Human Test Trails. She continues reading and it has a lot of names with the words failure next to it. Then she sees the word unsuccessful next to other names.)
Maria - Oh my god.
(Felipe walks to Maria.)
Felipe - What is it? What did you find?
Maria - They've been doing human test trails.
(He takes the file and looks at it and he turns the page as he sees the photos of the deceased test subjects. He turns the page again and again as more photos of the deceased test subjects are shown. He sees another file on the desk.)
Felipe - These test subjects died after the test was unsuccessful.
(He picks up the file that was on the desk that's labeled Possible Human Trail Candidates.)
Maria - Possible candidates?
(He opens the file and sees a photo of Maria.)
Felipe - What the fuck?
(Maria sees the picture.)
Maria - Oh my god.
(Felipe looks at another photo and the next photo is of himself. He keeps turning the photos as he sees everyone on the team.)
Felipe - He wants to experiment on us.
(Sounds of glass being shattered is heard, a tracer lands on its feet as Felipe & Maria turn to face it. More glass shatters as Tracers & Shrieks land on the floor.)
Maria - Crap.
(Felipe & Maria go next to each other with their backs turned to each other.)
Maria - There's too many of them.
(There's 4 Tracers & 2 Shrieks in front of Maria and there's 5 Tracers & 3 Shrieks in front of Felipe.)
Felipe - Come on you ugly sack of shits!
(Felipe & Maria run at them.)
Felipe & Maria - Raahh!
(Somewhere im the building Andrea is running down a hallway.)
Andrea - Ely! Ely?!
(Out of no where Andrea stops running and is lifted up in the air and gets launched to a window in front of her. The glass shatters and she goes out the window and she stops in mid air again. She gets launched back into the room as she smashes through another window.)
Andrea - Ngh...
(Charles grabs her by the neck.)
Charles - So where were we earlier?
Andrea - Where is she you fucker?!
Charles - Do you think I'll tell you that easily... You know what? How about I just kill them in front of you.
(Andrea gets more angry as her black claws start to come out.)
Andrea - You're not hurting them you son of a bitch!
(She claws at his face as he lets go of her, she drops to the floor. Charles has blood on his cheek as it starts to run down it.)
Charles - So you want to play rough.
(Things around him start to levitate in the air as spikes appear on his arms and the spikes catch on fire. His vains turn a visible red as fire claws appear. Charles runs at Andrea and he swings but Andrea dodges. Charles uses telekinesis and launches her at the wall. She hits the wall hard and he pulls back towards him as he clothlines her, then he slams her to the floor and levitates her in the air. Andrea looks at a desk as she moves her hand a bit causing the desk to be launched at Charles. It hits him and Andrea falls to the floor landing on her feet. Black fog goes around her hands as she swings her hand up. A black fog in the shape of a chain shoots up from the ground and it hits Charles. He hits the ceiling then falls back to the floor. He stands up while running and swings fast but Andrea jumps a few feet back dodging the attack. Charles puts his hand forward as the fire claw stretches and grabs Andrea.)
Andrea - Ngh...
(He throws her across the room as she hits floor causing her roll and jump at the same time on the floor. Then she turns while in mid air and lands in her hands and feet. She then runs at Charles and tackles him through the window. The glass shatters as they fall out the window, Andrea punches Charles in the face twice while free falling. They land on a window washer cart.)
(In Charles's office the files are finished downloading.)
Celeste (On Ear Piece) - There's a file named X that required a password but I'm already in... There's only two files.
Carlos - Only two?
Celeste (On Ear Piece) - Yeah it's under Subject: Chase and Subject: Seiko.
(A video starts to play on the monitor, the video was recorded within an Anarchy Soldier's helmet. Anarchy Soldiers break into a house.)
Anarchy Soldier - Hands in the air!
(More soldiers move into house and a male and female are seen with there hands up.)
Anarchy Soldier - Get on your knees!
Chase's Father - Go to hell,
(A gunshot is heard and a bullet enters the floor right next to his foot. Charles is now seen in the video.)
Charles - So you must be Chase's parents, tell me is he around by any chance?
Chase's Father - What do you want with our son?
(He sees a picture of Chase on the mini table.)
Charles - I heard your son started developing some special gifts.
Chase's Mother - We don't know what your talking about.
(Charles shoots her in the chest.)
Charles - That's for lying.
Chase's Father - Mary!
(He walks to the body.)
Charles - What is that? Your sorry for lying to me? Well apology not accepted.
(He looks at Chase's Father.)
Charles - Women they always gotta lie to me? Why are they liars?
Chase's Father - You son of a bitch! I'm going to kill you!
Charles - Looks like I'll find him on my own then.
(He shoots him in the chest as he falls back to the floor.)
Charles - Tear this place apart, make it look like a home invasion or something.
(The video cuts out and switches to Project: Seiko.)
Ayumi (Seiko's Mother) - She doesn't have any powers!
(She is outside of the car while Seiko's Father is inside the car with a bullet in his head.)
Charles - Where's Seiko?!
(He grabs her by the hair and shoves her face to the floor while pointing a gun to her head.)
Ayumi - I don't know!
Charles - Don't lie to me Ayumi!
Ayumi - Please Charles leave Seiko alone.
(He pulls back the barrel of the pistol.)
Charles - Tell me!
Ayumi - I don't know Charles... Please just me go and leave Seiko out of this she's just a teenager Charles.
Charles - Looks like I have to find her myself and I'll make sure she'll be excellent member to the team.
Ayumi - Charles! Please! No!
(He pulls the trigger and he stands up.)
Charles - What a waste... Make it look like a car jacking.
(The video cuts out.)
Carlos - Oh my god...
Sheila - He murdered... He murdered their parents and covered it up.
Carlos - That son of a bitch...
Rebecca (On Ear Piece) - Then he recruits Chase and Seiko after murdering them... That monster.
Carlos - I'm going to look for everyone send some people to come get us, I have a feeling we're gonna fight our way out.
Rebecca (On Ear Piece) - We were planning on sending everyone.
Carlos - Don't... I think that's too risky...
Rebecca (On Ear Piece) - Okay then I'll send a small team.
Carlos - Okay.
(He looks at Sheila.)
Carlos - Okay, let's find the others and get out of here.
Sheila - Alright.
(They head for the door and then Sheila opens it. They go through the door as Chase and Seiko who are against the wall behind them hits Carlos & Sheila causing them to be knocked out.
In the Experiment Facility. Maria launches a Shriek at a test chamber. Lasers start to shoot out of Felipe's hands in an automatic style. A Shriek banshee screams at Felipe, he gets on his knees and covers his ears. Maria launches the Shriek at a window, another Shriek goes behind her and banshee screams. She feels pain in her ears but she tries to keep fighting. She struggles to raise her hand and then another Shriek banshee screams at her. She falls to her knees and the other Shriek banshee screams at Felipe. Blood starts to come down Maria"s & Felipe's nose, Felipe slowly passes out. Maria's vision gets blurry and she passes out.
Outside. Andrea tackles Charles and they go through the window as they re-enter the building. The shattered glass hits the floor as they start to stand up. Charles kicks Andrea that she goes a few feet away from him.)
Charles - I was just thinking maybe I'll torture them in front of you before I kill them.
(Andrea gets more angry as black swirl lines that look like vains appear on the lower part of her face. Also 3 vain looking lines appear next to both of her eyes. A light black shadow goes around her body.)
Andrea - Or how about I rip your throat out!
(She runs at Charles and she jumps as she raises her claws. She swings but Charles dodges and grabs her by the neck as his fire claws disappear.)
Charles - You're so weak... Even with all that power you're still weak, heh what a shame.
(He starts to electrocute her.)
Andrea - Ahhh!
(He uses telekinesis and launches her at a desk, she lands on it hard then he starts to slam her from side to side. Then to the ceiling to the floor. Andrea is on the floor as Charles starts to walk towards her.)
Charles - What... no remark this time.
(She struggles to stand up.)
Charles - So you still have some fight in you.
(She stands up but half of her body is leaning and she's holding her side. Black blood starts to go down her nose and the blackness from her eyes start to fade away. She starts to walk slowly towards Charles and she swings her left hand but he dodges. She then swings the right hand and he dodges. Her hand lights on fire as she shoots a back and blue fireball at him but he dodges.)
Charles - Why do you keep on fighting?
Andrea (Softly) - Cause I won't let you hurt them.
(She wings softly, he moves to the right. She falls to the floor and passes out. Everything goes black.)
