Meanwhile, back in Miami, Briggs has the President tied up in a chain, badly beaten. President Sharpe wakes up, only to see that she is inside an abandoned factory, full of decay.
"How are we today, feeling good?" Asks Briggs.
President Sharpe replies, by spitting in her face.
"I admire your attitude, I understand that you want to kill me, do you?" Asks Briggs.
"Oh, you have no idea, why don't you let me out of these bonds, I'd be happy to accommodate you." Says President Sharpe.
"Tempting, but I can't quite do that yet." Says Briggs.
"I want you to see, what I have in store for your race. As I said, they will all pay, for what they did to my daughter, turning her into a freak, making her take her own, precious life." Says Briggs.
"If she were here, she would be afraid of you, she would be disgusted by your actions." Says President Sharpe.
"Do you want to know, what her last words to me were? She said to me 'Avenge my life', and that is what I am doing!" Says Briggs.
President Sharpe then thinks to herself, and she pieces together something in her head.
"You arranged the riots in Miami!" Says President Sharpe.
"Yes, I made the Humans eviscerate the Elementals, but what I did not anticipate, is the Elementals to retaliate against them, but, some sacrifices had to be made." Says Briggs.
"Oh my god, you're sick..." Says President Sharpe.
"Sick? You are all the sickness, a disease! And I have the cure, that will liberate the human race, from your infectious existance." Says Briggs.
Briggs then shows President Sharpe a clock that has an Active countdown number of 80 minutes.
"Briggs, what have you done?" Asks President Sharpe.
"What I should have done, years ago." Says Briggs.
"If you launch those Warheads, innocent people will die." Says President Sharpe.
"These Elementals are far from innocent, they deserve no forgiveness from me." Says Briggs.
"Once I launch these Warheads, the Nantes will disperse into the air, making the earth toxic for Elementals." Says Briggs.
"Now, if you excuse me, I have somewhere I need to be. These two will keep you company." Says Briggs.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, the railroad station was destroyed, by the unsung self destruct sequence. Kajor manages to shield everyone from the blast, making sure they all made it out unscathed.
"Jesus Christ..." Says Raven.
"We have to move, we can't stay here!" Says Kajor.
The team then escapes the railroad station, wandering the streets of Chicago.
"Luckily, the jet was far away from the blast." Says Langston.
"So, now we know Briggs plan, what next?" Asks Kajor.
"We kill the bitch!" Says Leon. Kajor and the others then look at Leon, with shock.
"You think that there is another option? If we kill her now, we can eliminate the threat before it starts." Says Leon.
"We are not killing her, we made a promise to protect Humanity." Says Kajor.
"No, that was your promise, I will do whatever it takes to protect Elementals." Says Leon.
"We have it in us to be the better men..." Says Kajor.
"We already are, we are stronger than the entire Human race, there is no sense in letting Briggs live." Says Leon.
"Briggs should be tried..." Says Kajor.
"By whom? Her own race will back up her reasons, you know this!" Says Leon.
"We are not killing her Leon, you will follow my lead." Says Kajor.
"For the time being, I will." Says Leon. "So, what now?" Asks Raven.
"We have to learn where she is going, that way we can stop her." Says Master Yuki.
"Well, we need to interrogate someone." Says Jordan.
"I've got an idea..." Says Bryant. Moments later, Briggs' men are seen wandering the streets of Chicago, looking for the Elementals. Bryant then dashes into the center of the street, standing face to face with Briggs' thugs.
"Hey there guys, how are we today?" Asks Bryant.
The thugs then begin to point their guns at Bryant.
"Woah, woah! Easy guys, why all the hostility? I was coming to surrender myself." Says Bryant.
"Stay right where you are!" Says one of the Thugs.
"Don't worry, I am not moving an inch, you don't have to put a straightjacket on me." Says Bryant.
"Get on your knees!" Says one of the thugs.
"Okay crazy, let's see what you can do." Whispers Bryant. Carla then shows up, and time suddenly comes to a crawl. She then looks at Bryant, who nods at her, and they begin to subdue the thugs.
First, Carla goes over to the two thugs near a convoy truck, and she takes away their guns. Carla then takes their arms, and she places each of them, at both of their groinal areas. Meanwhile, Bryant runs over to a thug, takes his gun, balls up the thugs fist, and he makes him punch himself. Bryant then grabs his Shield, and he throws it at one of the thugs, while pulling up another thugs boxers.
Carla then walks over to another thug, and she taps his abdomen, causing it to ripple. Carla then snaps her fingers, and time returns to normal speed, taking out the thugs.
"Well... That was fun." Says Carla.
"I thought you wanted to kill them." Says Leon.
"Toying with them is more enjoyable, you savor the agonizing pain." Says Bryant.
Bryant then looks over his shoulder, and he sees one last thug, standing in the middle of the carnage.
"I think this one is ready to talk..." Says Bryant. Leon then teleports in front of the thug, and he takes him away. On a distant rooftop, Leon dangles the helpless thug over the ledge, 20 stories in the air.
"What the hell!?" Yells the thug.
"Good Afternoon, my name is Leon Delgado. Now I am not here to hurt you, well, it depends on if you tell me what I want to know, if you don't, you will be a pretty stain on the ground, for the world to see." Says Leon.
"You crazy son of a bitch! I'm not telling you a goddamn thing!" Says the thug.
"Oh, well that's too bad..." Says Leon.
Leon then drops the thug from the roof, making him fall 20 stories down. Just before the thug hits the ground, Kajor teleports and catches him, saving his life. Kajor then teleports back onto the roof, and he grabs the thug by his vest.
"You need to forgive my 'friend', he doesn't like your kind. I however, have a different approach to getting what I want." Says Kajor.
Kajor then takes out a small knife, and he stabs it into the thugs shoulder, pinning him against a wall.
"Now that won't kill you, but everytime you don't answer me, I will put my finger on this dagger, sending a small electric charge through your body. Don't worry, it won't kill you, but it will hurt like a thousand blades, cutting your body." Says Kajor.
"Now, tell me where Briggs' nukes are." Says Kajor.
Instead of telling him, the thug spits in his face. Kajor then places his index finger on the dagger, and he begins to shock the thug, making him shudder in pain.
"I can do this all day, you want to tell me?" Asks Kajor.
"The Warheads are in Washington, near the Pentagon, she plans to launch them in five hours time." Says the thug.
"Why does she need President Sharpe?" Asks Kajor.
"Go blow yourself..." Says the thug. Kajor then shocks him again, and the thug then winces in pain.
"She wants her to watch the destruction first hand. Wants her to feel the pain she felt." Says the thug.
Kajor then pulls the dagger, from the thug's shoulder.
"Okay, you can go..." Says Kajor.
"You're kidding, yes?" Asks The thug.
"Yes... he is!" Says Leon.
Leon then teleports towards the thug, and he plunges his fist into his chest, stealing his soul and killing him.
"I let him live..." Says Kajor.
"Yes, and that was your mistake. He would have given away our location, and it would spoil our plan." Says Leon. "
You're testing my patience!" Says Kajor. "And you test mine!" Says Leon.
Kajor and Leon then stare intensely at each other, with their Elemental Powers on full display.
"I will say this to you, one more time... You will follow my lead, or I will put you down." Says Kajor.
"So be it, there is more at stake, than you and me." Says Leon.
Leon and Kajor then lower their energy, and they teleport to meet with the rest of the team.
Back on the ground, the team meets up and Kajor tells them about the information he just received.
"So, what did you find out?" Asks Trent.
"We're going to Washington, that's where the nukes are." Says Kajor.
"Then we have no time to waste." Says Master Yuki.
Meanwhile, back in Miami, President Sharpe is still being guarded by Briggs' thugs. Suddenly, the thugs hear a sound on the outside of the warehouse. "Go check it out." Says the thug.
During that conversation, President Sharpe silently frees herself, by burning the ropes with her Elemental Powers of Fire.
The President then gets to her feet, and she jumps quietly into the air. Moments later, the one thug looks behind himself, and he sees that Sharpe is nowhere to be found. He tries to call in backup, but President Sharpe jumps down, punches him in the face, and she breaks his neck, killing him. The President then drags the thugs body away, and she takes his gear.
Moments later, on the outside, the second thug finds two dead bodies, laying next to each other.
"All units, we got an intruder in the premises, shoot to kill, I repeat, shoot to kill!" Says the thug.
President Sharpe then emerges, with the tactical gear on her, and she stares at the many thugs around the premises.
"Time to light up..." Says President Sharpe.
Sharpe then blasts fireballs at the thugs, blowing them away. A thug tries to attack Sharpe from behind, but Sharpe blocks an attempted punch, breaks his arm, and she knocks him out with an Elbow.
Sharpe then begins to esaliy take down the rest of the thugs, while blasting the snipers with fireballs. One of the thugs then shoots her in the back, and three thugs try to attack her all at once. Sharpe however, manages to block all of their attempts, and she burns each one with a fireball.
A thug then suddenly points a shotgun at Sharpe, aiming at her face.
"Not so tough now are you?" The thug Asks sarcastically.
In a brief moment, a silent gunshot is heard, and the bullet impacts the thugs head. As the thug lays dead in a pool of blood, a masked figure approaches President Sharpe.
"Who are you?" Sharpe Asks.
The masked individual then takes off the mask, leaving the President in shock. "It can't be..." Says The President.
