Susie's POV:
After Nea told us the plan, we just have to wait for the perfect time to do it. We all heard a loud screech off in the distance and I instantly morphed my hands in to blades to get ready for the threat. I saw something that had orange glowing liquid dripping behind it in a trail. It banged into something and stopped for a moment then started rushing towards Feng and Nea. The moment it stopped, I recognized him as none other than Talbot Grimes, or known by survivors, The Blight. I ran at Blight and tackled him before he could get to Feng. I then stabbed him with both of my arm blades and tried to rip him in two, but he kicked me off of him and injected himself with his blight serum. He then threw the syringe after it was empty then his wounds simply closed as the serum welled up in the wounds. He put his cane down as he wrote something in the snow. I read it and I understand why he came to us. He wanted to help us since he failed escaping the realm himself. "If your compound doesn't work on me or kills me," I said with tears in my eyes, "It will be for nothing." Blight wrote in the again, saying that it may not come to that, but if it does, that only I will be able to handle the compound. "Let's hope it doesn't come down to that," Feng said. "The only other person that rebelled against the Entity was Evan," Nea said, "He almost won but the Entity managed to overpower him. From what I can see, he is not in any trials as of right now. My crows say that he is still in his own realm." "Then we find him and see if he will help," I said determinedly.
Claire's POV:
As I sit in my cell and wait for mealtime, I think about Connor and if he is okay. I can hear everything in this complex and it is driving me mad. I tried to practice my cloaking while I waited for the sound of a certain set of footsteps. When I finally heard them, I shot up, but I was forced back down by the chains in the floor. The door opened as the same psychologist from before came into the room with two armed guards. "Hello again, Claire," He said as he sat down on the couch with a clip board. "Let me see my family," I hissed which made the guards grip their guns tighter. "Stand down," The man said calmly, "You will see your mate and children after you answer my questions." I growled not wanting to answer a damn thing this man asked me but I knew that this is the only way I would see my family. "How were you created?" He asked me getting ready to write my response on the paper attached to a clipboard. "My mother was a werewolf," I said with a small hiss, "and my father was a raptor. I wasn't hatched out of an egg if you were wondering." "Your mother is the Ultima, correct?" He asked after he was done writing the first response down. "Yes," I replied remembering the last moments of my mom, "If you are wondering if I have inherited her curse, I have. As far as I know, I am her only offspring with the curse, my bother doesn't have it." "And where is your brother now?" He asked. "Why should I tell you?!" I hissed half lunging at him. This made one of the guards point his rifle at me. I flashed my Ultima eyes at him, and he instantly dropped to the ground screaming in pain as I laughed. The other guard tried his best to help the one on the ground, but the process has already started and no amount of wolfsbane can help him. "I think you know what is going to happen to him, right doc?" I said with a grin, "As the curse is taking affect, it is rearranging his DNA causing horrible mutations. Most people don't survive this process, which means he doesn't have long before it kills him." "Get him out of here!" The doctor said while helping him up, "You will not see your family until you show some improvement!" I snarled and shot a single quill at him and missed as he closed the heavy door. I need to get out of here, I thought...

Ellie's POV:
I could hear Kat's screams from the other room, and I instantly tried to get out of my restraints but before I could, a group of armed guards burst into my room and shot me with tranq darts which only p*ssed me off. I broke free of the restraints and flung myself at the nearest guard and ripped his throat out as I was shot with more tranq darts. I tried to fling myself at another guard, but the dart's poison took effect, and I blacked out.
Connor's POV:
After Mercer helped me break out, we walked to the armory to grab some gear and to put a stop to the hybrid projects. I then heard a loud clang of a metal along with the sound electrical sparks. "Ellie is here," Mercer said, "We can free her, I don't want them to experiment on anyone again." I racked the AR before I turned the corner and shot the two guards trying to force Ellie into a cell. Mercer then sliced the two other guards in half then crushed then last one with his hammer hands before he could call for back up. "Where is Kat?" I asked Ellie. "I don't know," She replied, "They separated us when we got here." "And Owen?" Mercer asked while flicking blood off of his assimilated blade. "I can feel him in here," She said closing her eyes. "I can hack into the cameras to find Kat," I said ripping a panel off the side of the wall revealing the wiring connecting to the whole facility. "No need for that," A familiar voice said behind us. "John!" Ellie said happily hugging the assassin. "I know exactly where she and Owen is," He continued. "Then we go with him," Mercer said. "Have you seen Slender anywhere?" Ellie asked John. "Yes," He said with a grim expression, "He is in heavy containment, and it won't be easy getting to him." "Leave that to me," Mercer said, "My Evolved and I will find a way to break through." "We still have to help Claire and the others," Ellie said worried. "We will," I said after disabling communications to Blackwatch, "I always accomplish my mission."
