The Numb3rs had finally made their way up the massive staircase. "That took longer than planned," Se7en stated.
F0ur and Thr33 gasped for air. "YOU'RE INSANE!" they screamed in unison.
Se7en chuckled. "Yes."
F0ur and Thr33 sighed. "Well, we're here now. Where do we shut down this contraption-"
Thr33 got cut off when 5ive said, "Hey, guys!"
Everyone stared at him. "HOW DID YOU GET UP HERE SO FAST!" F0ur yelled.
"I took the lift," 5ive said as he pointed to the elevator.
F0ur and Thr33 were just standing there with their jaw hanging open. Se7en chuckled. "Alright, men! We've gotta move out!"
F0ur, Thr33 and 0ne all started looking for the main console. 5ive walked up to Se7en. "Sir, Rin is-"
"I know," he replied without even looking. "There's no way you would've left your post unless there was no post." Se7en just stared blankly at a wall. "I'm sure you did all you could." 5ive nodded. "Good, now, start looking for the main console." 5ive nodded again, turned around, and walked through a doorway. Se7en stood there for a bit before doing the same thing his men were doing, their job.
Five minutes later, Thr33 called out, "I found it!"
Everyone ran into the same room as Thr33 and stared at a round console. "How does it work?" F0ur asked.
"That's what 5ive is here for," Se7en said as he motioned 5ive to the console. 5ive complied.
5ive started pressing buttons and pulling levers when he finally said, "Okay, Thr33, press that button," 5ive pointed to a big red button, "and the self-destruct should start up."
Thr33 nodded, reached for the button, and BANG! He dropped to the floor with 0ne pointing a gun at Thr33's corpse. "BRIAN!" 5ive yelled out.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT!" F0ur screamed.
"Because, than your mission would be complete," 0ne replied simply.
"So your with the Covenant?" Se7en asked.
"Exactly. Because, you see…" 0ne trailed off about something, but the rest of them weren't really listening.
"So, basically your on the Covenants' side?" 5ive asked.
0ne frowned. "Well, yeah basically, but it's much more complex than that."
"Complex is boring," Se7en stated. "F0ur, shoot him."
F0ur complied almost instantly and blasted 0ne's head off. "Glad he's outta the way," F0ur said.
"Yeah, now we can finally start the self-destruct on this puppy," 5ive said before reaching for the button. A purple needle suddenly speared through his head and he dropped to the ground.
"BRODY!" F0ur and Se7en screamed.
Twenty-one years earlier…Brian was sitting in the detention facility when Luke and Sam got escorted in too. "Hey, bro," Brian greeted Sam."Hey, BB," Sam greeted back.
"BB?" Brian asked.
"Short for 'Bro Brian'."
Luke rolled his eyes. "Who's that?" Brian asked.
"Apparently, that's Lucas," Sam answered.
"I prefer Luke," Luke said.
"That's nice, Lucas."
Luke sighed. "So, Brian, what did you do?"
"Depends, what did you do?" he asked.
Luke frowned. "I attacked your brother."
Brian laughed. "I wish I was there to see that. Sam, what did you do?"
Sam frowned, too. "I attacked Lucas."
"I told you, I prefer Luke," Luke growled.
Sam and Brian shrugged. "Whatever."
