"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Dr. Ohara screamed at Maria Spencer. "WE'VE JUST HAD AN E-PANDORA GO ON A FUCKING RAMPAGE AND YET YOU'RE GONNA KEEP DOING THIS?! HOW MANY MORE FUCKING SACRIFICES DO YOU NEED UNTIL YOU'RE SATISFIED?!"
"Do you TRULY have a problem with that?" asked Spencer. "I understand that the incident was unfortunate...but not EVERY test i expected to be 100% flawless. Even the E-Pandora know that; MARK IV hasn't been completed yet―"
"I-I-I know, but―"
"―but YOU have a job to FIX that! To make it a success, Dr. Ohara. The experiments will proceed an planned; if ANY problems occur, remember that it'll be on YOUR hands..."
Later that night, Dr. Ohara was sulking in her office over the argument he had with Spencer.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
"Dr. Ohara? Anthony Evans is here to see you..."
"*SIGH* Let him in," Dr. Ohara groaned.
*CREEK*
The door opened and Anthony walked in. "You know what I just learned today? That ALL E-Pandora would be participating in the next experiment. Is this true?"
"...Yes. Experimenting will resume first thing in the morning. And ALL E-Pandora will―"
"The HELL they will!"
"Excuse me?!"
"There's only ONE of us who will be taking part in that shit to prove that MARK IV will eventually be used safely; you're looking at him! Understand?"
"...Yes...but that's OUT OF QUESTION!"
"What?!"
"This experiments requires ALL E-Pandora to attend!"
"WE'VE ALREADY HAD ENOUGH SACRIFICES!"
"I do NOT have the authority over this matter..."
Infuriated, Anthony turned around and left...
*SLAM*
...slamming the door behind her. As he walked to his room, he let out a scream, "AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" and punched a wall...
*BANG*
...leaving a giant hole in it.
"I think you know why I've summoned all of you here..." Anthony had all the E-Pandora in his room. "This morning, I have learned that ALL of us would be experimented on by the MARK IV medicine...despite the fact that we all know it's incomplete...it's stabilizing effects are only temporarily...and it's highly likely the experiment will finally succeed...but don't you guys understand? The Chevalier are going to get rid of us like fucking guinea pigs. They promised us new lives...with real values, all we had to do was sign-up for their bullshit experiments, like with Jin...and look how fucking well THAT turned out; they fucking used him! And they're gonna do the same to us! We made a vow that we would do whatever it took to save humanity...even if it killed us, but now THEY'RE the ones who are going to willingly kill us! Just so they can 'save' the world! Well...Well I'm gonna stand for this any longer! THIS ENDS NOW! I'M GOING TO TELLING THE WORLD WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING! I'M GONNA DESTROY THIS DRUG! AND I'M GONNA RELEASE YOU FROM THESE CHAINS! OR I'M GONNA DIE TRYING! *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* So...I need to ask you all one simple question: WHO'S WITH ME?!"
"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
The unconscious Elliot continued to lay in her bed with his Limiter, Andréa, watching over him in tears.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"*SNIFF*" Drying her tears, Andréa got up to answer the door and was greeted by Anthony.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but may I please speak with Mr. Elliot Mably?" Anthony asked.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, you can't see him right now," said Andréa. "He's in the middle of―"
"Oh, no. I just wanna tell him something."
"...Be quick, please."
"Thank you." And so, Anthony walked in and knelt down next to Elliot.
(Flashback)
On top of the building, Anthony sat on top of the building looking at the full moon as he grieved Jin's death.
"Mr. Evans?" said a young voice from behind. "Can I have a word with you?"
Turning around, Anthony came face-to-face with...
"Elliot Mably!" he exclaimed.
"...I...I'm sorry about...Jin," said Elliot.
"Why are you so concerned?" asked Anthony. "It's...It's none of your concern..."
"From YOUR point-of-view, you're right. Anyways...do you plan on continuing the experiment?"
"You think we have a goddamn choice? We made the choice...to give up our freedom to make choice the moment we agreed to become E-Pandora after all, right? We'll find a way to make this succeed...even if it KILLS us. An even if it DOES fail, it's obvious Chevalier will do what any other corrupt company would do: attempt to cover-up their actions, sweep it under the rug, and pretend it NEVER happened. But of course, if you keep sweeping everything under the rug, you're bound to cause a big lump that everyone will eventually notice and expose. I doubt they'll anymore failures. In any case...we should only have to endure this a few more times before it's finally over. At the very least, those who are left...won't become anymore sacrifices..."
"Don't tell me: are you...are you volunteering for those fucking experiments?"
"You're family's pretty famous, right?" Tears began to well up in Anthony's eyes as he gave a sad smile. "You should be pretty lucky. But...do you have any brothers? Or sisters? Or ANYONE who idolizes you? Miss Mably, I have a small request: if this next experiments fail, can you...can you tell my little sister...that you were my comrade in this battle? I'm sure she'd be pretty excited to know that her big brother fought with her idol. I—eh heh heh heh heh—I'm sorry. I know I'm sounding like we're friends, but—"
"—but we're NOT! I'm NO friend of yours...but YOU are somebody that I respect from the bottom of my heart. I think being able to fight with you...is something to be proud of."
"*SNIFF* T-Thanks!" Anthony croaked as he slowly began to burst into more tears.
(End of Flashback)
"Mr. Mably...you are possibly one of the greatest people I've ever met," whispered Anthony. "What happened didn't put an end to the MARK IV experiments. Instead, they're gonna make ALL of us take part the experiment; however, I'm going to fight back...the same way YOU fought for us―no, better yet, I'm gonna put an end to this...in YOUR name. Goodbye, Elliot Mably."
And so, the E-Pandora stood outside the research lab, ready to make their move.
"Let do this!" whispered Anthony. "VOLT WEAPON! DEPLOY!"
*KERCHINK*
"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! THERE ARE INTRUDERS THAT HAVE BREACHED BLOCK #21! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"
