1 prologue

Harled: "Hurry my love! You get the children to the pod. I will try and collect as much of the research as I can."

Tonya: " Alright, but hurry please! we have to be gone before Braddock's men reach us. I don't want to imagine what he will do to us, let alone our kids.

The couple kiss and bolt opposite directions down the halls. Harled rushed through the lab doors while Tonya frantically woke their kids up. The echo of foot steps could be heard rushing through the flight of steps making their way to the top floor.

Harled frantically tore apart his shelves looking for the note books to his research, breaking some glass beakers and tubes in the process. As he scrambled through the desk drawers he found one last note and a small vial filled with some luminescent green liquid. He paused for a moment clinching it in his hand. With a scorn, he looked out the window to the city glowing golden with bright lights.

Jensen: "Mom, what's going?"

Jensen asked as he rubbed his eyes with his pajama's sleeve after his mother had woken him from a deep sleep. Elizabeth, Jensen's younger sister, was struggling to keep her eyes open as their mother frantically get's a small assortment of essentials ready for them.

Tonya: " I don't have time to explain we have to get to the pod now!"

She picked up Elizabeth and the supplies while rushing out the door.

Elizabeth:" What about Mr. Fuzzel?!"

Tonya:" There is no time to get him I'm sorry my dear."

Harled bolted out of the laboratory in complete disarray with a suitcase with papers sticking out in every direction. The hallway door got busted down and men in gas masks wearing giant metal canisters and wielding rifles rushed into the hallway.

MAN:" There they are!"

The deep and gravely voice muffled behind the gas mask calls out to the rest of his soldiers.

Harled:" Go! keep running!"

Tonya grabbed Jensen's hand and bolted to the door that lead to an outside balcony. When she opened the door a strong gust of wind whipped her dark hair and lab coat around. She lead her children to the far corner of the balcony where an emergency exit pod is stationed. She rushed over and quickly punched in the code which caused the door to slide open with a slight hiss and steam. A gunshot sounded off which caused Tonya to whip her head around in time to see her husband fall to the ground with his knee bleeding. As he fell and screamed, his research papers were wisped away by the heavy gust of wind. Tonya ushered the children into the pod and handed Jensen the bag of supplies. She rushed to Harled to aid him.

Harled: "Give this to them and send the pod down now!"

He said wincing in pain as Tonya tried moving him. His knee cap shattered and completely blown through. Harled handed her the luminescent green vial and the note. Tonya looked at the vile and back up to Harled. She nodded to him and quickly ran back to the pod.

Tonya:" I love you both. I love you so much, words can't even describe it."

She said with her voice shaking with anxiety and sorrow. she gave them both one last tight hug and each of them a kiss on their forehead. Grabbing Jenson's hand, she placed the vial in his palm and closed his hand into a fist.

Tonya: "You'll know what this is for when the time is right. Jensen take care of your sister and make sure nothing happens to her. Elizabeth listen to your brother. You both need to look out for each other now, ok?"

She started punching in the code again to close the door. As the door slid back into place another shot could be heard and blood shot from Tonya's shoulder hitting Jensen in the face and a little bit on Elizabeth's hair before the door completely closed.

Harled: "NO!"

Harled yelled as he witnessed his wife get wounded. As he tried to pick himself up, the men in gasmasks and uniforms had reached him and proceeded kick and beat him while he was down.

Tonya looked through the partially blood-spattered window to her children's faces. The heavy wind blowing her dark hair in front of her bright green eyes. With her bloody hand, she pressed one last button, sending the emergency pod spiraling downward passed the dark clouds below.

Jensen & Elizabeth: "Mother!!!"

They both screamed as their pod plummeted through the clouds. Jenson grabbed a tight hold of his little sister, covering her head in his arms and closed his eyes, braced for impact. Within minuets, the pod hit the Earth below with a vicious crash landing. Jensen's eye's slowly opened. His vision blurred and his hearing slightly muffled, but gradually clearing up to hear a group of voices outside the pod. As he fades in and out of consciousness the hold on his unconscious sister remains strong and his grip on the mysterious vial remains firm. The pod door opens with a loud hiss and the feeling of light raindrops hits his face. In the groups of voices, a gravely voice with a thick accent can be heard.

Man with accent: "Help me. let's get them out of there."
