(As Elaina and the brothers made it to the first floor, they found Andrew Lorison’s body lying on the floor. Elaina went over to Andrew and checked his pulse and felt nothing. She saw gunshot wounds in his chest.)
Elaina: He’s gone. He was shot…
Parker: Our leader… is gone…
Tevin: He’s free now. That’s what he wanted.
(Elaina stood up and looked at the brothers with sad look.)
Elaina: I’m sorry, you guys…
Parker: No need.
(The three began to hear quick and heavy footsteps coming their way. they saw the big and burly Galvin come from around the corner further down the hallway.)
Elaina: Great. Him again.
Parker: Galvin…
(Parker and Tevin readied themselves and looked at Elaina.)
Tevin: You must go to the underground facility, Elaina.
Parker: We have Galvin. We’ll meet with you soon.
(Elaina nodded and went into the elevator, pressed the ‘8’ button, the elevator doors closed, and it went up.)
Elaina: Will they make it, Alvin?
Alvin: Parker will, but Tevin will struggle. We can’t think of that now. Hurry to the facility.
(The elevator reached the 8th floor with the doors opening. Elaina looked down and saw Seven’s pole on the ground. She picked it up and ran her way to the underground lab’s elevator. She got in front of the camera hoping the elevator would be called, but nothing happened.)
Elaina: Is there anyone near the elevator?
Alvin: No.
Elaina: Then how am I going to get down there?!
Alvin: I can disrupt the system’s function to make the elevator come up. It won’t take long.
(A black mist emerged from Elaina enveloping the key card’s control pad. In the minutes of Alvin hacking the system, she heard the previous elevator ding and open. Elaina started hearing heavy footsteps coming around the corner revealing to be a growling Galvin holding on to Parker and Tevin by their shirts. Elaina turned and saw Galvin and took out her gun, aiming it at him. Galvin glared at Elaina and dropped the brothers. He slowly walked toward her.)
Galvin: You. I’ve been wondering where you were. You… have the power now? It doesn’t belong to you, and you can’t control it. Only I can control it.
Elaina: I only have it indirectly. And why should you control something that made you what you’ve become? You couldn’t control it the moment you came into contact with Dharkas. It requires the right blood, mentality, and essence. You don’t have any of the three.
(Galvin growled.)
Galvin: You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, whore! I’m going to do what I promised and set you free from your curse.
Elaina: Galvin, it’s a curse that will kill you ten times over.
(Elaina lowered her gun as Galvin approached. As Galvin got close, he grabbed Elaina by her shirt, picking her up off the ground with one hand. His free hand grabbed Elaina’s head; ready to tear it off. Before he could, the black mist enveloped Elaina; giving her power. Elaina grabbed Galvin’s arms via pressure points which made him release her. Dharkas was able to form into Alvin, holding Galvin by the throat in midair. Dharkas/Alvin began to slam Galvin into the walls viciously; Galvin screamed in agonizing pain. As this happened, Elaina stood there and watched.)
Elaina: This is what you get when you threaten to kill my family. This is the curse that you put on yourself.
(With a final blow, Dharkas/Alvin slammed Galvin’s head into the ground; his head bashed in. Dharkas/Alvin dropped Galvin’s body and disappeared into Elaina. Elaina hurried toward Parker and Tevin who were greatly injured. Elaina rolled Parker over and saw punch marks on his arms. Tevin struggled to sit himself up and was able to with the help of a wall. Elaina saw Tevin looked worse than Parker; having impact marks and red spots on his chest, stomach, and one of his legs that was now broken. Elaina was shocked at the sight.)
Tevin (in pain): … My leg… it’s busted. I can’t go on. You guys can go without me. I’ll wait right here.
Elaina: When we come back, we’ll get out of here, Tevin.
(Parker was able to get up and walked toward Tevin; kneeling to his level and put his hand on his shoulder. He then gave Tevin his machete.)
Parker: You better stay alive when we get back.
Tevin (in pain): Don’t worry, brother. I’ll be fine. Go. Now.
(Elaina gave Parker Seven’s pole and they walked to the underground facility’s elevator. Elaina walked in front of the camera; prompting the elevator to come up. The elevator doors opened, and they went in. the doors closed, and it went down to the facility.)
. . .
(The elevator arrived down to the underground facility. Elaina and Parker got out of the elevator; Elaina looked at how spacious the hallway was.)
Elaina: Where do we go?
Alvin: Go down the hallway and turn left. The antechamber. That’s where you’ll find me. Go. Now.
(Elaina ran to the direction Alvin told her with Parker following her. Moments later, they reached the antechamber and slowly walked inside. To the right side of the room, she found Twitch, Squeak, Ali, and Seven in circular capsules that was filled with liquid; hooked to tubes. Elaina was in disbelief for what she saw.)
Elaina: What the… What is this?
Parker: This is where they tested the savior on us; and where the accident happened. Look up.
(Elaina looked up and saw a gaping hole from the ceiling to the top of the building which was high up. When she looked back down, she saw Alvin naked in a circular capsule hooked to tubes above the other four capsules.)
Elaina: Alvin, how do I get you out of there?
Alvin: The controls for my capsule are in another area where Marvin has Tyler and our daughter.
Elaina: Where’s the baby?
Alvin: With Tyler and Evee. Get the women first.
Elaina: How?
Alvin: There are control pads next to the capsules. Use those.
(Before Elaina could go to the first control panel, Parker went up to the first capsule.)
Elaina: You know how to work these things, Parker?
Parker: When I was being experimented on, I remember the controls they used to open the capsules. You get to Beckett.
(Elaina nodded and went upstairs. When she did, she saw Tyler at the control panel with Marvin holding a gun to his head; Evee was holding the baby standing in the corner. Elaina crouched down and walked to the control room as quietly as she could.)

(In the control room, Tyler was typing on the control panel which kept reading “ERROR” on the screen. Marvin cocked his gun and pushes it to Tyler’s head; annoyed.)
Marvin: What the fuck is going wrong?
Tyler: The controls aren’t working, Marvin. I think they got damaged when the accident happened. I can’t do anything with Alvin.
Marvin: … I think you’re stalling, Tyler.
Tyler: I’m stalling? You want to fucking do it then? Be my guest, Marvin! I’m not bullshitting you.
Marvin: I’m not falling for that. You’re an IT. for a reason. Fix it or I’ll shoot the children!
(Marvin aimed his gun at Evee, who was holding the baby. Evee moved to shield the baby.)
Evee: I won’t let you hurt Alvino! He’s only a baby. Daddy won’t let you hurt him or me!
Marvin: Little girl, you need to stay quiet before something really bad does happen to you or that baby!
(As Marvin was talking to Evee, Tyler quietly took Marvin’s baton that was laying on a nearby table.)
~
(As Parker was typing on the control panel for all four of the capsules, unlocking them. One of the capsules opened, revealing Seven falling out of the capsule. Parker walked up to her and kneeled to set her up. When he did, Seven was coughing out the liquid from the capsule; trying to breathe. She looked up at Parker.)
Seven (gasping): Parker?
Parker: Just breathe, pipe holder. Here’s your pipe back.
(Parker held her pole; Seven took it and tried to stand with the help of her pole; still coughing.)
Seven (wheezing): Get to the others. I’ll be fine.
(Parker got up and went to open Twitch, Squeak, and Ali’s capsules. Twitch and Squeak fell out of their capsules, coughing up liquid. Ali’s capsule did not open. Parker walked to Ali’s capsule to pry it open. Seven immediately limped to the capsule to help Parker open it using her pole. With their strength combined, the capsule opened with Ali disconnecting from the tubes and falling out of the capsule; she wasn’t moving. Parker kneeled to her level and sets her upright, pats her on the back making her cough up liquid and blood profusely. Twitch and Squeak slowly stood up; seeing what was going on with Ali and ran to Parker and Seven.)
Squeak: What’s wrong with Ali?
Seven: She’s hemorrhaging. Squeak, you hold on to Ali. Parker, Twitch, and I will help Elaina.
(Parker gave Ali to Squeak. Squeak saw that Ali was bleeding from her side and applied pressure to the wound. Seven, Twitch, and Parker went up the stairs to reach Elaina.)
~
Evee: What type of grown up would hurt a kid or a baby? You’re a bad man, Mr. Marvin! And bad men deserve all bad things that come to them! You hurt all the people that are here and that’s mean! And you want to hurt my daddy! What did Daddy ever do to you?! Why did you put him in that bubble?! You deserve to be in that bubble; not him!
(Marvin cocked his gun and aimed it at Evee’s chest.)
Marvin: Little girl, if you don’t shut your damn mouth, you and your daddy will be meeting each other.
(Tyler held the baton at the ready without Marvin looking.)
Tyler: It’s a coward move to threaten a six-year-old, Marv.
(The moment Marvin turned around; Tyler struck him in the face with the baton; prompting Evee to run out with the baby. Evee ran into Elaina outside the room.)
Evee: Mommy!
Elaina: Evee. Thank God you’re alright. Listen to me. Go downstairs with the baby and stay with the others. Be careful with him, okay?
Evee: Okay.
(Evee walked past Elaina. Before she reached the stairs, Parker, Seven, and Twitch came upstairs. Parker took the baby from Evee while Twitch picked Evee up. The two went downstairs while Seven went with Elaina.)
