1 AN ACCIDENT

Dawn , at the city's main research lab.

Some people wrecked the tranquility of that lab with their shakings and rattles. Nothing more but the shaking of volatile liquids at test tubes and flasks. Until....

Crash!

A flask about a quarter full of hydrogen peroxide fell from one of the mens' hand, precisely aiming to a box of pure sodium crystals.

"F*ck!", one of them cursed intentionally. He knew what would happen if the liquid even just touched the crystals.

They were verily unfortunate that dawn, harshly unfortunate. To add to the quantity of the crystals, the liquid's velocity even sped up.

Just as one of them turned, the other followed suit. Under the faint light from the window, their outfit were revealed. All of them in lab coats and wearing lab glasses, would be able to convince anyone that they were alchemists.

Just as one tried to kick the box away, the fluid touched the crystals, utterly bubbling and boiling like water. And...

Boom!
