Moments later, the team manages to get Vader to a hospital. While the doctors and nurses try to save his life, Langston and the team watch the operation, from a glass window.
"Any ID on who shot Vader?" asks Michael.
"No, but I do know that it was a woman, she clearly wasn't human." Kajor recalls.
"How bad is it?" Raven wonders, upon seeing Langston arrive.
".45 ballistics broke his ribs, fractured his collarbone, ruptured his liver." Langston explains to the team. A doctor then comes out of the room, and the team awaits to hear the news.
"So, what's the word doc?" Langston asks The Doctor.
"Well, the good news is, the bullets missed his heart, but they pierced his left lung. He was dead for two minutes, however we managed to revive him." The Doctor explains.
"Well, that's a relief. Thank you doctor." Langston expresses his gratitude.
"So what now?" Kajor asks Langston.
"I already informed the President of the situation, she wants to meet you and your team." he replies.
"When?" Langston then looks at his phone, seeing the time that the President will arrive.
"Tomorrow, she is on her way here to Miami tonight." he confirms to Kajor.
"Okay, give Vader my best." Kajor and the rest of the team then leave the hospital, heading back to the Penthouse.
The next day, The President arrives at the Penthouse of the Masters of Elements team. As she steps in front of the door, she is then scanned by the security system, which was installed by the CIA.
"Welcome Madame President." the Penthouse system says. When the President walks into the Penthouse, she sees Kajor and his team, training with each other.
"You know, Vader has said a lot about you all. I'm starting to believe that he was right." President Sharpe says to Kajor, who is meditating near the fireplace.
"You must be the President." Kajor guesses.
"President Amanda Sharpe, I wanted to meet you and say thank you for protecting Miami, during the events of 6 months ago." says President Sharpe, as she shakes Kajor's hand.
"We tried our best, but we still couldn't protect other lives in the process." Kajor replies, inviting the President to sit on the round couch.
"Yes, your race is quite the topic of controversy." President Sharpe takes a seat on the couch, sitting in front of Kajor.
"When Vader first told me that he was assembling an Elemental Division of the CIA, I thought it was rather far-fetched." admits President Sharpe.
"So, what do you think now?" Raven and the rest of the team walk in, and the President is impressed by their appearance.
"After seeing the work you guys did, I was deeply impressed with you all. You saved many lives, over the past 6 months." President Sharpe shows her compliments.
"Kajor, did Vader show you what he designed?" Kajor then leans forward, knowing of what President Sharpe is speaking of.
"He showed me a machine that would pull up all the information files, of every Elemental, and Human in the city." he says.
"Did you know, he was planning to destroy it?" asks President Sharpe.
"Destroy it?" Kajor questions.
"Vader was going to set up a meeting with me. If he was not attacked, I would have had him scrap the project immediately." President Sharpe reveals.
"You arranged for Project Eagle Eye to be made?" asks Kajor.
"Yes, but not for the reasons that Vader told you." President Sharpe then takes out her cell phone and she shows Kajor the algorithm for Project Eagle Eye.
"Project Eagle Eye was created to find Elementals, based on every document they have. From your Social Security, to your SAT and ACT scores." the others look at the algorithm and are amazed at how fast it operates.
"Eagle Eye would then conduct a search for any Elemental, and we would bring them in. However, we would bring them in as assets to the CIA." President Sharpe decrees.
"Yeah, but there is one problem, Elementals like me, don't trust the government." Kajor points out.
"No, but you trust Vader, even though he is part of the government." President Sharpe ironically points out.
"Vader wanted to destroy the project, to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. So, when he attempted to delete all of the files of the project, the files were already gone. Someone took the files, under his name and we don't know who that person is." Kajor then thinks about the person he fought last night.
"But the person who shot Vader is the one who stole the files right?" Jordan wonders.
"I'm only here to tell you all that I know, it is up to you all to find out who did this." President Sharpe clarifies.
"Okay guys, let's go to the CIA headquarters, we need to find out every thing we can." Kajor suggests.
"I read about your mother Kajor, she must have been a strong woman." upon hearing Sharpe say this, Kajor turns around to her; his eyes flaring up with energy.
"She was, she valued life more than anything." Kajor says to her. President Sharpe nods in acknowledgment of Kajor's heritage.
"I see. I arranged for you all to be driven to the headquarters alongside me, let's make haste." While the team is driving with the President and her secret service, President Sharpe looks at the jewel in the center of Kajor's armor.
"May I ask what that is?" asks President Sharpe.
"It's a symbol of my family, plus a memento of my mother." Kajor describes.
"The Dragon's Eye..." Kajor then looks at her with confusion, wondering how she knew about this legendary relic.
"As I said, I read a lot about your history. That jewel was made out of the remains of a dragon, hardened to be a jewel." President Sharpe reminds him.
"I'm impressed, I applaud a person who does their homework." Kajor compliments. Moments later, the team makes it to the CIA Building, and they meet up with Agent Langston.
"So what did you find?" Raven asks him, while they walk into the building.
"Wow, straight to it huh? No 'good gorning Langston', 'how are you today Langston', not even a hug!" Langston snarkily comments.
"Sorry Langston, but that hug will have to wait." Raven retorts.
"Well, I haven't found any leads yet, but we're doing everything we can." Langston looks on his phone, seeing that he received a message.
"So, what do you want us to do?" Kajor wonders.
"I want you to help these guys find out whatever you can, I'm being called away on business, in Chicago." Langston informs them.
"All right, will do." Dominic replies. One hour later, Tanya Briggs arrives at the CIA base, and she runs into Kajor and his team.
"So, this is the group that saved Miami? You all don't look like much." Briggs says to the team, unimpressed.
"And you are?" Kajor questions.
"Tanya Briggs, the President told me all about you guys." Briggs extends her hand out to Kajor, receiving a handshake from him.
"Wow, that's quite the handshake you got Mr. Bladerunner if you weren't careful I would lose my hand!" Kajor then looks at her face, noticing a small scar on her cheek.
"So, might I ask what you are doing here?" Asks Kajor.
"I am simply here to just observe and assist, in any way I can." Briggs assures Kajor of her reason.
"Okay, well I leave you two to talk alone." Kajor tells her and President Sharpe. Kajor and the others take an elevator up to the second floor, while the President talks with Briggs.
"Any word on who attacked Vader?" The President questions Briggs, who looks through her tablet at the different news headlines.
"No, but we do know what other files they stole." President Sharpe is then curious about this revelation.
"What do you mean, 'other files'? What importance do they have?" she asks.
"It turns out the perpetrator stole the files on Vader's team, but I don't know why." Briggs thinks.
"Keep digging, we need all the info we can get." President Sharpe orders. Meanwhile, while on the second floor, Kajor and the others see an area, that they have never seen before.
"So, this is the second floor, I don't see anything that would allow us to gather information." Trent says. Kajor sees a switch on the floor, he steps on it, and a giant holographic screen comes up.
"Always mind your surroundings..." Kajor says to Trent.
"Looks like this is it!" Dominic clicks on the file named "Project Eagle Eye", but it denies him access.
"I can't get access since all of the files are deleted from this server." he says.
"What about surveillance footage, from the last 24 hours?" Michael wonders. Dominic then tries to find footage, but he is unsuccessful.
"No, even the cameras were blinded." the team then wonders what to do next and where else to look. As the team is on their way to the elevator, a flock of CIA agents stand behind them. As they wait for the elevator, the team starts to notice the sweat, dripping from the agent's faces.
"So... You guys have somewhere to be?" asks Kajor. The agents attempt to attack the team with stun rods, but Michael blasts out a gust of wind from his left hand, causing the CIA agents to be stunned.
"Take them down!" The team begins to attack the stunned agents. Kajor punches one agent in the face, before tossing him into a wall. Raven blocks multiple kicks from two agents and she takes their stun rods and shoves them onto their stomachs, knocking them out.
Michael and Jordan work together, with Jordan blinding five agents with dust particles and Michael dashing through them. Dominic and Trent take on two agents, who try to stun them, but Dominic makes a staff and Trent uses it as a lightning rod, to electrocute the agents.
Samantha takes down an agent, with a Judo throw and she then counters an intercepting agents right cross, with an Armbar. After she breaks the agent's arm, Two more agents come charging at her, but Bryant jumps over her shoulder and he quickly takes down the agents, before knocking out another with his shield.
"Not bad!" Samantha says to Bryant, who nods in appreciation.
An agent tries to attack Shawn, but Shawn puts the floor on Ice, making the agent slip and slide uncontrollably. As he sliding towards Shawn, the Ice Elemental jumps and Ken Clotheslines the agent, knocking him out. The last three agents attempt to attack Kajor, but Kajor blocks and counters all three agents at once, before breaking each of their legs, with a gesture of his hand.
"That was unexpected!" Michael exclaims.
"Why did they attack us?" Samantha wonders.
"I don't know, but we need to get to the President." Kajor then teleports himself and the team down to the main floor, where they meet up with the President.
"Madame President, we have a problem..." Kajor warns President Sharpe.
"Kajor, what is it?" The President asks.
"CIA agents just attacked us, that's what happened!" Ken answers her question.
"What? Why would they do that?" asks The President.
"It doesn't matter, we need to get you out of here!" suddenly, a Sniper bullet hits Kajor in his chest, while people dressed in black, broke into the building. The rest of the CIA agents try to push them back, but the Black Soldiers kill them all with ease. Kajor then pulls the bullet out of his chest, while he quickly heals from the wound.
"We need to get the President out of here!" Kajor shouts. As the team tries to secure the President, a Soldier throws a grenade, that lands in between the President and them. Kajor quickly puts a Light Shield around The President, to protect her from the blast.
When the grenade goes off, the team and the President is blown back from the shockwave of the blast, and they are knocked into a wall. A mysterious figure drags the President away, as the Masters of Elements team lay unconscious.
