After a long and eventful couple of days with everyone relaxing on the Island during the day, me trying to keep Evan from killing his Father... The guy comes off nice but he's kinda a pretentious dick, though his daughter isn't so bad.

During the night, Evan and I have been prodominately pulling all nighters, looking for Surge on the Island. Though it's pretty hard to find a science lab in a haystack of more science labs. I mean, we've looked through key words like speed, drug, serum, Tachyons, Dark Matter...

But nothing, though now that I think about it, that sounds like something the old Kaminari would do. Simple and obvious. We need to look at this from an objective stand point. What would a psycho murderer from the future who essentially 'Terminator(ed)' my whole life be doing?

That is the big question.

Not saying our search has been all for nothing, we've had power surges, pun intended all throughout the Island. Melissa, Evan's Sister mentioned somebody breaking in and stealing supplies. 

These surges have been based on the Island Power Grid which I've personally searched, energy surges that show signs of Dark Matter usage. These have popped up throughout the Island. Question is why has no Scientist on the Island located it or even noticed it?

We found it easily because we know what to look for...

Surge must be shielding the residue that is being released. 

But after three days, Nagato recieved a Vibe. He said it was a surge of energy that was blinding. The Lab was featureless on the interior and large enough to hold a device. From his description, it had to be the Tachyon Device. 

With a clock that read 9:46pm...

So, here we were... All of us though I told my Uncle it was okay for him to relax while the team handles the Science Stuff. I just wanted him to have fun and be an adult spending some of his vaccation days, not worry about his nephew every second of every day. 

I stood in my suit, my cowl not covering my face. Arms crossed as I leaned on the wall, waiting for 9:47pm... The more I waited, the more time seemed to drag on. That was until the computer began beeping loudly while a marker on the map of the Island. 

I flashed to the screen to look at the screen, memorising the location. "Dylan! Be careful, we're on Comms" Nagto said. I looked back and nodded, flashing out of the building, through the Island. The people around me all moved with such sluggishness as I passed them. A massive gust of wind built up as I ran, blowing air around me. 

My body skidded to a stop, standing where the marker was located. "Guys... I'm here and there is nothing" I looked around, moving out of the direct line of sight where people were. "What? That's impossible unless-" Evan stopped and the realisation hit me too. "He's under the surface  of the Island"

I moved to the area and began vibrating through the ground, phasing below. My body hit a platform quickly and I zipped through the metallic area. "I'm getting mad Resident Evil Vibes" 

I remember Resident 2 and 3, especially the Remastered Edition of current Gen... That only solidified the creepy factor. My body stopped by a corner where a blinding light came through the space. My eyes were barely able to make out a shape in the light. 

All I could feel was raw energy...

"Come on... Almost...there" It was Surge, he was panting out of fatigue. Focusing on the figure, I saw him. He was sprouting electricity to the max. Frying his brain in the process. The light faded soon enough, restoring my vision. 

He stumbled forward, his maskless features sweating from the strain. He pressed a button that revealed the Serum. He quickly made his way over to the bench, grabbing the injector to which I reacted. "Not so fast" The injector was mere millimetres from his skin.
