Meeting the Creator

At Williamson Airfield, in a lab where Ryan and Burton are staying at. Ryan is recording his process on the cure he is working on the computer.

Ryan: Okay...this is Dr. Ryan Fenix. Time is 6:22 pm, on December 21st, 2029. There's been no process of our cure. I haven't heard nothing on Dante. I wonder if they're even alive. Burton is worried about his sons. He or I haven't gotten any sleep. Sleep is something that's earned now these days.

Ryan turns off the video. Burton is sitting in a chair looking at the video monitors with a drink in his hand.

Burton: It's funny how the two of us are all alone in this war....

Burton looks at the drink in his hand.

Burton: You really have faith in your brother?

Burke: William, right now. What's happening? It might be good to have some faith.

Burton: Right.

Burton sips his drink. Outside the Airfield, sundown, the school bus arrives as the Cratersville Survivors depart.

Colin: Nice.....gotta admit....My brother and the Doc picked a dump for a hideout.

Nathan: All right....we don't have time to admire the view....let's just get the airfield.....before it gets too dark and too cold.

The Cratersville Survivors make their way through the Airfield while Killen talks to Dante.

Killen: You held your own back there.....you did good....

Dante: I healed....that's how I'm still alive.....at first, I wanted to die, but....Jacob....he was strapped to some kind of monument....cooked alive...

Killen: It wasn't your fault...neither was Bart....no one could've known what would happen...

Dante: But now I know....that all this time running from monsters in this world and Zeus Corps, you forget what other people are capable of.

Nathan and Nora are walking as Nora speaks to Nathan about Sarah.

Nora:....back there....I want to forget.....I want to forget what some people are capable of....

Nathan: You going to be okay?

Nora: Yeah, it's just...I don't know whether to be glad Ian's not here anymore to see what this world really is....

Nora looks back at Sarah.

Nora: You should talk to Sarah.....she killed one of them back there....this woman like she was nothing.....

Nathan nods as he falls back and tries to talk to Sarah.

Nathan: Are you okay?

Sarah: My face is feeling a little better.

Nathan: That's not what I mean.

Sarah: Nathan....I'm fine....

Nathan: Can you just tell me what happened?

Sarah: Later....

Nathan: Sarah, I'm your brother.

Sarah: I said later, okay? I don't want to talk about it.

Nathan: Well, we have to talk about it.

Sarah: I don't want to fucking talk about it, Nathan. God!

Sarah walks past Nathan before Ashley catches up to her.

Sarah: I'm sorry about back there.....you didn't have to see me do that...

Ashley: I did....I had to see if you could do it....if you could kill.....so you and Nathan can teach me how to kill.....what happened up there in that office?

Sarah: I'll tell you later.

James is approached by Colin.

Colin: You didn't hesitate.

James: You taught me not too....and he was going to kill you.....what else could I do, Uncle Colin? You're my Uncle. You've been more of a father than-You're all I have...and I'd do it again....I'm ready, Colin....I didn't think I could, but if I had to take a life to save you.....anyone still standing here...I'd do it...

The Cratersville Survivors proceed to the middle of the Airfield where they try to find a map.

Billy: anyone see a scientist and a general? Cause I sure as hell don't see a scientist and a general.

Walter: Yo! There ain't shit here! This place is fucking empty!

Nathan: There's nobody here....

Dante: Look, there's lights around....and there's surveillance cameras.

Inside the lab, the security alarm beeps repeatedly. Burton notices as he calls Ryan to his attention.

Burton: Ryan, we got intruders.

Ryan walks over to the security monitors.

Burton: I'm turning on the automatic defenses.

Ryan: Wait....

Ryan pointing to Dante and Kyle.

Ryan: It's Kyle...He's alive....and with my brother.....

Burton and Ryan look at the monitors.

Ryan: Dante....

Burton: Colin.....James....he's so big....it's been so long since I've seen him.

At the airfield, the survivors still look around and ponder what to do next.

Dante: There's gotta be something here.....

Nathan: Desipich! This is your fault!

Kyle: The fuck you talkin about?!

Nathan: We followed your goddamn mapping and data and it got us nowhere!

Colin: Nathan, stop!

James: But he's right, Uncle Colin! We followed him and it lead us nowhere!

Colin: James, shut up!

Dante: This can't be it! This can't be it! There has to be something here!

Suddenly, Rat claws appear in their path.

Sarah: Guys! Rat-Claws!

Walter shoots down the Rat-Claws.

Walter: Fuck!

Nathan: We gotta get out of here!

Nora: Go where? We don't have any food or fuel for anything.

Nathan: Goddammit, we will think of something....

The Cratersville survivors prepare to leave with Killen pulling at Dante.

Killen: Dante! Come on. There's nothing here. Let's go!

Before the survivors prepare to leave, Dante notices the camera moving.

Dante: Wait, the camera moved!

Kyle: Are you sure?

Dante: Oh, I'm sure.

Walter: There! I got them! That's it for now, but I'm almost out!

Killen walks up to Dante and grabs his arm.

Killen: Dante, we'll die here okay! The camera didn't move we're wasting our time. There's no one here! Now, let's go! Dante! Dante!

Dante walks up to the camera up ahead and yells to it.

Dante: Ryan! It's me! It's Dante! I know you're in there! I know you can hear me!

Ryan and Burton are still looking at the camera video of them.

Ryan: This is the only chance we'll get.

Burton walks away.

Ryan: It's your brother and son out there!

The audio of the argument of the survivors outside still progresses.

Dante: Please, Ryan, there's only a few of us left. Most of our group has died already. We have no food, barely any gas! Please, let us in! Please! We're survivors! Please, if you don't let us in, you're not helping the world! You're gonna kill us! Please! Goddamn it! Please!

The Cratersville survivors are forced to fight off another pack of attacking Rat-claws. After a long shootout with Nathan holding back a Rat-Claw, suddenly, a metal hangar door automatically opens with a flashing light coming out of it. The turrets from the inside automatically open fire as the Rat-Claws are gunned down. After recovering from the fight, the survivors then step in with their weapons armed with caution.

Nathan: Watch the gates.

Colin: It's fucking empty.

Dante: Hello? Hello?

The sound of an assault rifle and revolver cocking gets the groups attention as the survivors point their guns at the sound of the guns with Ryan, yielding an assault rifle and Burton, holding a revolver, pointing at them.

Ryan: Anyone bitten or infected?

Nathan: No.....

Burton lowers his gun.

Burton: Colin? James?

James also lowers his gun as well. Colin does too.

Colin: Hey, big brother.

Burton: Colin. 

Burton turns to James.

James: Son.

Ryan: Dante?

Dante reveals himself and approaches Ryan.

Dante: Hey, little brother.....

Ryan: My god...

The Fenix brothers hug.

Ryan: Let me look at you....

Ryan looks at Dante.

Ryan: Christ....you got old.....you get a haircut?

Dante: Yeah....had to adapt to this world fast, right?

Ryan notices Kyle.

Ryan: Kyle? You're alive?

Kyle: Indeed, I am, Doctor. These people they're not infected and I can vouch for each one of them.

Ryan then spots Killen, who points his rifle at him.

Ryan: What's he doing here?

Dante: Whoa! Whoa! He led me to you, Ryan.

Ryan: Don't you know who-

Ryan stops talking.

Ryan: I see....

A moment.

Ryan: You all submit to a scanner sequence and a blood test.

Kyle: No problem.

Burke lowers his rifle.

Ryan: If you have stuff or belongings, get it now.

Walter and Nathan hold the doors open with their guns out as Colin and James run in with their belongings.

Ryan: OTTO, seal the doors.

Burton: This way everyone.

Dante walks up to Ryan and offers his hand.

Dante: Thank you, little brother.

Ryan: You're welcome. I'm sure that you have a lot of questions

Dante: right now, that can wait.

Everyone is in the elevator which is heading up.

Nora: Why is this elevator headed up?

Ryan: You'll see....

The elevator leads to a cloaked Zeus Corps Airship, which holds Ryan's lab. Afterwards, Ryan and Burton leads the Cratersville survivors through the airship.

Walter: a dirigible?

Burton: You're close....It's an airship.

Kyle: General....Is this....the Ulysses?

Ryan: It is.....

Kyle: I thought it was just a rumor....

Billy: What was the rumor exactly, son?

Kyle: The rumor was that Zeus Corps scientist had a floating airship capable of cloaking abilities....it's made to hide Kronos employees that don't want to be found...

Ryan: Indeed....

Dante: Wait, Ryan? Why are you and Burton here in the first place? We thought we'd find you in a base.....

Ryan sighs.

Ryan: Burton and I are the reason you're out of your tank, Dante....Kronos found out and fired us.....and are probably gunning for us....so we're in hiding....

Sarah: How high are we?

Ryan: 60 feet from the ground...why? Are you afraid of heights?

Sarah: No, but I am nauseous.

Ryan: If you don't think about it, the nausea will go away.

James whispers to Colin as they walk.

James: He hasn't even asked if we're okay...do you think he even cares?

Colin: He's still your father, James.

James: I know, but...

Colin: James.....please.....not right now.

The survivors arrive at the labs.

Dante: Aren't there other doctors, scientist here?

Killen: Or soldiers?

A moment.

Burton: It's just us two.

Nathan: What about who you were speaking too? OTTO?

Burke: OTTO, welcome our guests, tell them "Hi"

An automated British male voice is heard from inside the room.

OTTO: Hi, guests. Welcome to the Lab of the Ulysses.

Nathan: That's creepy.

Ryan: Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, we're all that's left. I'm sorry.

Nora: What's powering this place?

Ryan guides the survivors the lower core level, where a giant core is seen powering the entire facility.

Ryan: This reactor core contains massive amounts of atomic energy. Enough to cause a nuclear meltdown and destroy this entire airship.....

In the medical room, Ryan has just finished taking blood samples from everyone with Sarah being the last to go.

Sarah: So how long did you work for Kronos?

Ryan sighs in regret.

Ryan: For eighteen years. I highly agreed with doing their dirty work.

Ryan removes the needle from Sarah's arm.

Ryan: And you're good to go.

Sarah gets up from her seat, and stumbles doing so. Nora helps her.

Ryan: whoa, you alright?

Nora: She hasn't had a thing to eat in days. None of us have.

Ryan: hmm.

In the dining room, the survivors are laughing with drinks in their hand.

Nathan: Get the hell out of here, man. You serious?

James: Dead as a heart attack. So, Uncle Colin's spying on this pretty girl, very popular, while he was a very smart kid and known as a nerd, a bookworm. A fucking bookworm! So then he gets invited to this party that my Dad helped him with and after a couple hours find Dad in my room, fucking her. So, then Colin and Shawn get into a fight. Dad's butt ass naked as the two-started wrestling. I went in the room to get a comic, only to see a girl's titties and my Uncle's hard boner. So, Unc says to him and said "William, you son of a bitch, how could you?" and the best thing he can say is..."Sorry bro, but she wanted the D".

The Survivors laugh.

Colin: I was a hard drinker after the blast; let's just say...I taught school for a while...didn't work out.

The Survivors once again laugh.

James notices Ashley grabbing a wine bottle.

James: Whoa, whoa, Ash, not you.

Ashley: What?

James: Drinking. You remember the last time what happened. You're 16, not 21.

Colin takes the bottle from James.

Colin: And neither are you, James.

James: Hey! Fucking killjoy!

Dante notices Ryan in the corner, before he stands up with his drink in his hand.

Dante: Guys, it seems we didn't thank our host properly.

Ryan: No...No...I...

Walter: No, he's more than just the host of this party. He's our fuckin savior.

Everyone says "To Ryan and Burton"

Dante: Thank you, little brother.....

Killen: So when are you gonna tell us how this started doc? I mean most of scientists, the good ones. Where are they?

Kyle: We're having a celebration of surviving, Killen. Not right now.

Killen: Wait a minute. Only reason, we're here is because of Dante. We had to get him here, remember? And Luke, Justin, Jacob, Bart, and all of our fucking town people have died getting here to find the answers. Instead...

Killen points to Burke and Burton.

Killen: we find him and a washed up General....no offense, Colin...

Colin: Killen, I respect you, but mind yourself of how you speak about my brother.

Burton: It's alright, Colin.

Ryan: When the rest of America was consumed with infection, the other scientists, the good ones, took the easy way out. There were multiple suicides. They thought since they failed to contain it in one city, they couldn't contain it anywhere, so they didn't want to find out the hard way....they were cowards...

Ashley: How come you didn't leave?

A moment.

Ryan: Because I chose to keep believing....hoping for faith...

James: Killen, you're a boner killer sometime.

The survivors, Ryan and Burton walk down the room aisle, showing them their rooms.

Ryan: The rooms are air conditioned; there are books and magazines for your entertainment. There's also a TV room that have over 1000 channels, just don't rent any porn. It's subscribed on Comcast Cable. Though we live in a fucked-up society, Kronos still pays its dues....

Colin: Yeah, James, remember your last accident?

James: Dude....it was one time.

Ryan: Oh, and by the way, there are showers, but go easy on the hot water. It's the middle of winter so... pipes up here are still somewhat frozen....Enjoy.

James turns around with a smile on his face.

James: Did he just say hot water?

Walter: I think he did. C'mon, man, let's go enjoy ourselves in this cold weather!

Dante: They still have hot showers?

Colin: That's what your brother said, right?

Walter and James race each other to the showers. Dante, Nora, Walter, James, Kyle, and Killen enjoy their hot showers. Nathan steps into the shower with Nora while Sarah is in the shower curled in a ball against the wall. Kyle is putting his pistol on the shelf, just as Sarah walks into his room.

Kyle: Oh, hey. If you're looking for your brother or sister, I don't know where their room is....

Sarah: actually....I came to see you....

Sarah approaches Kyle.

Sarah: Look, about what happened back there....with Stuart; thank you...for saving me.

Kyle: you're welcome. I'm just glad I got there in time.....saw that happen to a lot of people.....even in the Zeus Corps....couldn't stand to watch that again....what happened afterwards...you going to be okay?

Sarah laughs.

Sarah: Yeah...you know, I thought we couldn't trust you. I thought all the good guys were gone. I mean I thought besides my brother and my dad....but I'm glad I was wrong...most people are wrong about you...

Kyle: How do you know that?

Sarah: Something's telling me to trust my gut...saying you're not the bad guy everyone says you are...you should try letting someone in... my dad trusted you were a good man too.

Nathan and Nora walk by and notices Sarah speaking to Kyle.

Nathan: Sarah....what are you doing?

Sarah: Just talking.

Nathan: Uh-huh....you mind if I talk with Kyle for a moment?

Sarah: Sure.

Sarah stands up as she looks back at Kyle.

Sarah: good night, Kyle.

Kyle gives her a warm smile.

Kyle: good night.

As Sarah leaves, Nathan talks to Nora.

Nathan: Babe, I'll catch up with you in a minute....

Nora: Okay...

Nathan walks over to Kyle.

Nathan: I'm going to just straight out ask you; do you have a thing for my sister?

Kyle: Well, her brother thinks I'm nothing, but a murdering ex-soldier.

Nathan: She won't tell me what happened back there in the slaughterhouse, but I'm going to guess you saved her life..... that doesn't change anything.....you're still a Zeus Corps soldier....you did some bad shit. I'm going to say this as a friendly suggestion; stay away from my sister.

Kyle: Nathan, don't you think if I wanted to hurt your sister or your group, I would've done it...I'm not what you and most of these people think I am.....How about a "thank you for saving my sisters life. It was either us or him".

Nathan: Get some rest, man...after we're done with this, I expect you'll go your separate ways with us....I'm sorry, but you're just too much of a liability.

Nathan walks over to the door.

Nathan: And just so you know....it was either y'all or him...Thanks.

Nathan closes the door.

Kyle: You're welcome.

In their room, Nora is getting ready for bed as is Nathan.

Nora: Nathan....

Nathan: What?

Nora: You're not going to like what I have to say, but I think you should give Kyle some slack.....

Nathan: Huh?

Nora: He did save your sisters life.

Nathan: He's Zeus Corps.

Nora: Ex-Zeus Corps And he hasn't turned on us yet.

Nathan: Are you really vouching for him?

Nora stands up from bed.

Nora: All I'm saying is....give him a chance.....you might like him.....get to know him...

Nathan: And what if I do? What if something happens to my sisters or you because I want to get to know him? I won't lose you like I lost my parents. I won't....

Nora touches Nathan's face.

Nora: You won't.

Nora kisses Nathan just before the two begin to make love. In the Bio Labs, Burton is looking at the blood test as a drunken James walks in the room.

James: Hey, dad.

Burton: Hey, you haven't called me dad since the last time we spoke.

James: Yeah, I know. I just wanted to say thank you.

Burton: Don't thank me, thank the Doctor. I considered leaving you guys out there, until I saw you, your uncle and Dante.

James: We still haven't found mom. Colin said he saw Barnes in the City of the Damned and Cratersville.

Burton: Yes, and now head of Kronos.

James puts his drink down and collapses on the floor.

Burton: You okay, son?

James: You don't know what it's like out there. 

James laughs.

James: I mean we've been doing this for what...uh...twenty years? All we've done is scavenge, harvest and kill. I'm afraid...I'm afraid I'll die without meaning...as will the rest of us. You know sometimes I wonder if this is what it meant by God smiting the entire world of sinning. If he-he saw too much evil in our hearts. It's just a matter of time, before we're all dead.

Colin walks in the room.

Colin: There you are, Jesus, man, I can't take my eyes off you for one minute, can't I?

Burton: Hey, Jimmy, your Uncle's here to come get you.

Colin sighs.

Colin: go on, James. I'll catch up.

James laughs.

James: Why is Colin in a dress?

James walks to the exit as Colin laughs.

Burton: My god, how his mother would've thrown a fit if she saw him like this?....(sighs) I'm kind of glad she doesn't have to see him like this.....

Colin: When's the last time you spoke with Shawn?

Burton: A few months ago. He's always on duty.

Colin: you would've been proud of him out there.....he's a smart kid....try talking to him.

Burton: He doesn't want to talk to me.

Colin: He just did.

Burton: That's cause he's drunk as hell.

Colin: You're his father.....be that for him....the time I got to spend with Lisa and Dorothy was taken away like that....who knows how long we have, man?

Burton: It's good to see you again, little brother...Thanks for looking out for my boy....

Colin walks to the exit, before he turns around.

Colin: Hey, William...thanks for saving us.

Burton nods in understanding. In the Bio Lab, Dante walks in as Ryan is looking at the blood results of the survivors.

Dante: So how are we?

Ryan: It looks like none of you are infected.....God, part of me wishes I had left you in that tank.

Dante: Why do you say that?

Ryan: You didn't see the full horrors...the early days of this apocalypse.....friend turned on friend....family turned on family....kids....had to grow up in this world....like Kyle...and James....but yet, you adapted...

Dante: Yeah...I admit...the world now looks like the wars I thought I left behind.....

Ryan scratches his temple as Dante laughs.

Ryan: What?

Dante: You're still doing it?

Ryan: Doing what?

Dante: You're little....

Dante mimics Ryan's scratching temple gesture.

Ryan: What? This? Scratching my head?

Dante: Yeah...it's your...I'm thinking really hard gesture....I'm thinking....you're like fucking Jimmy Neutron...think...think...think...

Ryan: God.....those TV shows....I spent most of my college days watching that...thinking one day, I'd be like Jimmy Neutron...only thing is I didn't have any friends to help out with my shit like he did....

Dante frowns.

Dante: I....went to where I last saw Amanda.....she was still there...all those years....the blast turned incinerated her and kept her in that position.....all those years....

Ryan: She was strong, Dante....

Dante laughs.

Dante: Well, I'm glad you haven't changed in the last twenty-years....So...Ryan, I don't mean to bother you, but I really need to know what happened to me...while I was in that tank....

Ryan: You were labeled as Subject 19. Due to the infection in your blood, you survived the test of the Python, Venom and Cobra Virus.....it was the only way to ensure you wouldn't turn....

Dante: Is that the reason I can heal?

Ryan: Yes...your code...everything was rewritten....I knew that when I woke you up, you'd be ready to survive this world....you're a survivor, Dante....and you know war....

Dante: This world isn't a war. Ryan, I saw people being slaughtered...cannibalized...animals like rats and dogs have become mutated.....it's like a nightmare I can't wake up from.....

Ryan: Dante, this nightmare hasn't been easy for me, either....I've lost things, too.....friends...I thought I'd lost you....I felt so guilty about Amanda that....I thought if I could maybe save you, all the horrific things we've endured in that past twenty-years, my work would be something...

Dante: That's all you obsessed with, little brother...is your work?

Dante sits down and puts his head in his hands.

Dante: Ryan.....what about Harry?

Ryan: Fuck....I was hoping you wouldn't have asked about him....

Dante: What? What happened to him?

Ryan sighs and stands up.

Dante: What? Goddammit, Ryan. You tell me what happened to my son. Look at me!

Ryan: Dante, some things are better left forgotten....even family.

Dante: You think I'd forget my own son? You think I'd forget my boy's face when you put me in that tank?! What the fuck happened to my son?! Where is he?! Where?!

Ryan: He's dead....he died a long time ago, alright?

Dante is unable to take in the news of his son's demise.

Ryan: I'm sorry.....I'm sorry, okay....after Amanda died and you were put in the fridge, Harry felt abandoned....alone...and then he went out into the wasteland.....and then....the wasteland killed him....

Dante, enraged, grabs Ryan by the collar and presses him against the wall.

Dante: You were supposed to watch him! You! You fucking-My son!

Ryan: Goddammit, Dante! I tried! I'm sorry!

Dante breaks down as Ryan comforts him.

Ryan: Dante, I couldn't save your family, but I promise you, I will not rest until we make them pay for what they have done to you....what I've done to you...

Amidst to the brothers, Killen is watching the conversation.

At the Washington Kronos facility, Barnes is in the testing room with an army of soldiers armed with rifle. Regina is watching form in the other room. She speaks into the intercom.

Regina: Are you sure about this, sir?

Barnes: Very fuckin sure. Now, lest test this baby out.

Epps: Attention! Commander on deck!

Barnes addresses the army of soldiers.

Barnes: Squad, welcome. Today, we are going to test our results of the Python, Cobra and Venom Serum, see how it ticks....see how it works. If you fail or hesitate to do this test, I shit you not, I will skull-fuck you until your head bleeds. Do you faggots get me?!

Zeus Corps Soldiers: Sir, Yes, Sir!

Barnes points to the middle soldier.

Barnes: You. Step forward.

The Soldier walks in front of Barnes and stops.

Barnes: Your rifle.

The Soldier hands Barnes his rifle. He inspects the rifle.

Shawn: M4 Rifle. Been in service since 1994, correct, Private...

Barnes looks at this badge that is named, Pepper.

Barnes: Pepper?

Pepper: Sir, yes, sir!

Barnes: This is a beautiful weapon, private. You've killed right?

Pepper: Sir, yes, sir!

Barnes: Terrorists? Thieves? Murders? Blood Hogs? Skinners? 

Pepper responds again as Barnes throws rifle to floor.

Barnes: if I ordered you to shoot me, you would do that, wouldn't you, private?

Pepper: uh...sir, yes...sir.

Barnes: What's with the "uh"? Did you not hear what I said the first time?.....if you fail this test, you die, boy....

Barnes sighs. 

Barnes: Pull out your sidearm, Private.

Pepper: Sir?

Barnes: Pull out your fucking sidearm. Now.

Pepper pulls out his pistol. Barnes snatches the pistol and inspects it.

Barnes: Do you know what type of gun is this, private?

Pepper: Sir, M9 1911 Browning, Sir!

Barnes: hmm.

Barnes hands the pistol to Pepper.

Barnes: Now, aim the gun at my chest and pull the trigger.

Pepper: Sir?

Epps: Commander, are you sure?

Barnes: Epps.....

Barnes continues shouting to Pepper.

Barnes: Aim the goddamn gun at my chest, and pull the fuckin trigger, son! It's not a suggestion. It's an order!

Epps: Commander...

Pepper: Sir...I...uh...

Barnes: Soldier, this is not open for discussion! You will obey your superior officer and you will aim that weapon at my chest and you will pull the motherfucking trigger!

Pepper seems hesitant. Barnes grabs Peppers hand and places the tip of the pistol on his own chest.

Barnes: Now, shoot me.

Pepper: Sir...I can't....

Barnes slaps Pepper on his right cheek.

Barnes: Shoot me! do it!

Barnes backhands Pepper again.

Barnes: Shoot!

Barnes slaps Pepper again.

Barnes: C'mon, you a man or are you a pussy?! Go ahead, man! No one's gonna blame you! Shoot me, motherfucker or you will be charged for disobeying your commanding officer! Let's go, right now! Shoot me, motherfucker, c'mon! Shoot! Shoot! Now!

A shot is heard as the barrel of the bullet falls on the floor. Barnes stumbles backward as he tends to his bullet wound. The wound bleeds for a moment. Epps is shocked while Pepper stands back shocked at what he had just done. Regina next to her prepares to call for an extraction team.

Regina: Oh, my god!

The wound in Barnes' chest suddenly heals itself instantly before stands up and smiles. He then looks at Regina in the other room.

Barnes: Well, Doctor, we can call this test a complete success.

The soldiers and scientist clap and cheer with relieve and amazement. Barnes has Pepper walk over to him.

Barnes: Private Pepper, come here please.

Pepper walks over to Barnes, who puts his arm around him.

Barnes: Gentlemen, this will be a new age of being stronger, being faster. Being the soldiers, we were meant to be. Pepper here proved to be a soldier. He proved he has courage, strength and most of all honor...But...uh...

Pepper's expression on his face turns into a frown as his eyes widened, the soldiers and scientists gasp. A heartbeat is heard. From a panned view, the results of Cobra have given Barnes the strength to punch a hole straight through his body armor.

Barnes: He showed he has a damaged heart...Or had.

Pepper falls lifelessly on the ground. Barnes wipes the blood from his hands and looks at the soldiers.

Barnes: Gentlemen, dismissed. Call a cleanup crew for one.

A soldier walks into the testing room.

Zeus Corps Soldier: Commander Burton.

The Soldier salutes as does Barnes.

Barnes: Speak, Corporal.

Zeus Corps Soldier: Sir, it's the survivors. They've been located to Williamson Airfield. Our mole is with the Doctor and The General.

Barnes smiles.

Barnes: Corporal, send tanks and Griffins this time. We can't risk the chance of losing Subject 19 again. Leave him and our mole alive. Kill the rest including the doctor and the general. They are no more use to us to us then he is to Subject 19. I'll be joining you to see that. (laughs) All right, men. Wheels up in 06:00. Leave the boy alive! I want our mole alive! As for the others, kill them all!

The Griffins and Tanks prepare for another assault as do more Zeus Corps Soldiers. As Barnes is heading down the hallway of the opposite soldiers, Regina walks behind him.

Regina: Sir, are you sure you're ready to test the serum out for Subject 19?

Barnes: Yes, he may have healing, but I have everything and much more.

Regina: But sir, I've been thinking...it's just- It's Dr. Fenix's brother....He doesn't even know what's going on. Maybe, we should call this thing off. See if any of the other subject's survived.

Barnes: Dr. Walters, do you know why I fired the general and the good doctor?

Regina shrugs. Barnes suddenly strangles Regina and lifts her off her feet.

Barnes: Because they also showed compassion and caring for this boy. Compassion is our enemy. Caring kills us.

Barnes snaps Regina's neck with the other scientists in shock.

Barnes: Neither can be allowed in Kronos to survive this world....

Barnes drops Regina's corpse.

Barnes: Stupid bitch.....Let's move out, boys!
