"Who would we be, if we never joined Halcyon. Would we still be criminals? Outlaws?"

"Was there ever another path for us?"

---------------------------------------------------------

"Can you override it?" Jackdaw asked.

"There's... No time. We both knew this was a Suicide mission." Finn Said. He looked at the timer. Twenty five seconds and counting.

"No! You can't just give up!" Jackdaw yelled.

"Jackdaw. The Mission is complete." Finn said.

Jackdaw sighed. He knew There was no way out for Finn.

"It's been an Honor." Jackdaw Says His Last words.

Finn's timer hit zero.

The Halcyon Base Went up in flames. Phoenix Just rained Fire down On Halcyon. But at what cost?

---------------------------------------------------------

"We didn't always do the right thing. Actually... We almost never did."

"Maybe We got What we deserved."

---------------------------------------------------------

"This, Has been a Long time coming. Hasn't it." The Director Asked.

He was looking at Jackdaw, Now with armed with a Raven, Pointed at the Director.

Jackdaw kept silent, Nothing to say to the director came to his Mind. All he wanted was for the Director to be dead.

"Nothing to say? After all this time? Well then. Get on with it." The director said.

The Director knew he was done for. A dead man. He Finally stopped running, And succumbed to his fate.

Jackdaw Opened fire once. Downing the director. As the director kneeled down, Jackdaw shot once more, Confirming his death. The director was gone. Halcyon is destroyed.

---------------------------------------------------------

"In the end, We got what we wanted."

"Was it worth it?"

"Did we make a difference?"

A red haired Woman was Looking at a grave. Well, two graves. One Read:

"Zero. The Best Operative we had."

The Other, read:

"Rose. The best Informant we had."

A white haired Man Came up Beside the woman.

"We're dead to the world." He said.

"It's finally done. We get to live a peaceful life now. No one knew who we were. Except for All of them." The woman said.

"They are our family... Rachael."

"Damn right, Finn." She giggled.

Finn and Rachael shared a Kiss.

"Get a room you two. Now c'mon, Foods ready." Sofia Said.

Finn and Rachael went to sit down inside. The house had a big feast, Celebrating Finn's Escape and the completion of a very Important mission. Taking down Halcyon.

"Too bad the Old Man couldn't join us." Blake said.

"Well, more food for the rest of us." Ryan said, With Rivera on his lap, Hugging him.

"Jeez get a room, Both of you." Theo said.

"Finn. There's something for you." Sofia said worried.

"A messenger dropped it off." She said.

Finn Looked at the Letter. It had An eye symbol, and read:

"Dear Zero, although the world sees that you are dead, We do not. We know you are alive and well, As per the job of our operative, Trident. Do not forget that We are watching, For Midnight's Eye is The Judge, The Jury, The Excecutioners. Live well, Finn Summers."

Rachael looked worried.

"Didn't They save us? What's that suppose to mean." Blake asked.

"Guys!" Rivera Yelled.

She played a video for all of them. It was a Security camera recording. A Young man inside the office, Wearing a Mask with the same Eye symbol, covering his face, A Navy Blue Bomber jacket, Ripped jeans and Sneakers. His hair had neon Pink, Cyan and White coloured tips. The man was seen tampering with the control panel inside a Security office, the exact moment when The elevator started Moving, As seen on the other screen of the footage. The young man then slowly walks back, Leaving a calling card, and escapes through the vents. Right before the office Succumbed to the heavy flames.

"So, That's Trident." Finn said.

"An Ally? Maybe?" Rachael Asked.

"Maybe. We're starting to get new allies all Over the place." Finn said.

"That's true. One of my contacts said that some of the Halcyon Operatives surrendered and wanted to Work With us." Rivera Said.

"I'm out of the game. But I'll continue to live with this family." Finn said.

Finn wanted out. He wanted to take care of Raven, His daughter.

And so a new chapter begins In the lives of the Phoenix Family. They brought an End To Halcyon.

Or did they?

---------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, In Ontario

"Everything is gone sir. We're left with Project Onyx, But With the damage, We can't Have it out for testing yet. And your health, You need to rest, Get More medical care." A Halcyon Henchman said.

"Don't worry. Just follow through with Project Onyx. As For my health, well, Let's just said the Old man was stupid enough to not Make sure I was dead." Someone said.

It Was Wren, Battered Up, Holding a walking stick. Jackdaw had left him Semi Paralyzed, But He was able to teach himself to walk, With the aid of a Walking stick.

"But Wren, Sir, We-" The Henchman was cut off.

"Call me Director. I think it's time I took his place. Do as I say from now on." Wren said.

"Y-Y-Yes, Director." The Henchman replied.

"Let Project Onyx, Begin." Wren Laughed Maniacally.
