They reached the middle of the building, where the canon is. Michael, Zac, Katelyn's mum were by the controls, along with a few scientists and Katelyn and Garroth, who were both mind-controlled.

"MICHAEL!" Aaron yelled, eyes blazing with fury "YOU STARTED THIS! NOW I'M GOING TO FINISH IT!"

"You think you can overpower me?!" He chuckled evilly "Ha ha ha!" He turned to a scientist "Is it ready?" He hissed.

"N-Nearly." The scientist stammered.

"Well, get it ready!" He ordered, turning back to look at Aaron. "You might want to think twice about that..."

Two GF walked in from a corridor, each holding a person. As they get closer, Aaron realises that it's Derek and Agent R.

"NO! DAD!" Aaron shouted at Michael "LET! THEM! GO!"

Michael laughed "I think I'll have them watch this instead... The Celestial canon! A device so powerful it can move meteors, comets, anything that threatens our world and it was fueled by the souls of an entire civilization. However, that fuel can be used another way. It can be used to create objects of absolute power! Objects known as Relics! Over thousands of centuries, relics became lost to our history, completely unknown to mankind. Objects of myths and legend. When I lived for so long, held one in my hand... And only I know of their capabilities. But they have a lifetime. Maybe a few hundred, or thousand years, and in order to create new ones..... Sacrifices must be made. The goddess Irene isn't the patron she's history paints her as. Her power's from an individual human soul that she cultivated into a relic. Her own daughter! And she did it in this very room... And now it's my turn.

"NO! Michael...you can't! Take me instead!" Derek pleaded.

"I already told you!" Michael snarled "You don't have what I need! Not anymore. His uncontrollable curse, blinded by rage. His curse will produce a relic this world has never seen! All I has to do was break him down and make sure he had victims to take."

"You-You planned this!" Derek realised.

"Of course." Michael chuckled "There's a reason the Ultima is feared. And I just made sure he had reason to kill. Your son could barely control himself. It was masterful! And now he's in just the right state. A cursed soul with blood on his hands."

"He'll never bow down to you!" Agent R yelled.

"I don't need him to, because at this point, his soul is so corrupt and broken that this relic will be fueled by destruction. It will be more powerful than anyone can imagine. Then, once I have it, I will break into her realm and I will kill her slowly, ending the cycle of rebirth and making me the master of this world. Everything here will be mine... Prepare the canon!" Michael ordered.

Derek yelled out "NO!"
