"The 'Holding' protocol has expired. Repossessing raw materials." "Raw materials?" I yelled, the Red Blood surging back to life. I felt the violet spark Silas had left in me ignite, creating a strange, swirling energy that felt like a storm in my veins. "We aren't materials! We’re the ones who survived your 'Graveyard'!" The Null turned its green lens toward me. "Subject 01-A. Identified as: **High-Value Bio-Mass**. Synthesis of Red Blood detected. Recovery of the 'Prime Frequency' is mandatory."

The hospital room was no longer a sanctuary of white linens and sterile silence; it had become the Zero-Point of a biological invasion. As the "Real" Elara sat upright, her spine popping with the rhythmic crackle of a reconfiguring skeleton, the golden light in her eyes spilled out like liquid mercury. She wasn't just a girl waking from a coma; she was a Living Server, a biological vessel hosting the condensed essence of the Primal Six.

The siren echoed through the underground tunnel. Loud. Relentless. Terrifying. WOOOOOOO… WOOOOOOO… WOOOOOOO… Nobody moved. Nobody spoke either. Because something about that sound felt wrong. Very wrong. Elliot stared at his tablet. Then looked again. Then looked a third time. “No.” Victor immediately turned. “What now?” Elliot looked pale. Really pale. “The facility is activating Protocol Zero.” He said.

Eleanor was completely stripped of her mind, but as her trembling hand slipped off the armrest, an automated dead-man's switch hidden beneath the desk abruptly clicked upward. The entire command center bathed in a flashing, apocalyptic red light. "Sovereign protocol compromised," a sterile, automated female voice announced over the facility's intercom. "Initiating purge. Releasing Subject Zero from Sub-Level Containment." From the shadows of the far corridor, the heavy, agonizing scrape of metal chains dragging against the tile floor began to echo closer.

Horror. “Which one are you?” Both answered: “Your father.” She began crying. Exactly the disaster. Elena looked toward the suitcase. “Nora!” No answer. Claire shouted: “Stop the attachments!” Nothing. Then Window stepped forward. She closed her eyes. Her voice changed. Not possessed. Remembering. “I know the command.” Claire stared. “What command?” “One of my six sources knew Domain Zero protocol.” “Window, you don't have to—” “I know.”

Citadel — Level Six Alexander and Elias burst out of the stairwell onto Level Six — and were met with silence. Not normal silence. Dead silence. Alexander tightened his grip on his knife. “This level… feels wrong.” Elias scanned the corridor — his eyes glowing faint amber, the faint bond tugging him downward. “She’s close. One level below.” Sable ran a quick scan with her wrist device. “Hold up, hold up — something’s not right. Level Six is usually swarming with guards.” Alexander exhaled sharply. “So where are they?” A voice answered from above.

He turned to the secondary report. Melina Voss. Age 20. Current address: [city, third district]. No criminal record. No supernatural registry. Father: Cain Voss, deceased. Cause of death: motor vehicle accident, four years prior. Mother: Clara Voss, currently hospitalized. Admitted six weeks ago. Diagnosis: classified under human medical records privacy, but insurance cross-reference indicates specialized treatment facility with supernatural-origin illness consultation services on staff. Aiden read that last line twice. He turned the page.

Nevan whispered. The word felt foreign, a jagged stone in his mouth. He looked for the manual release, his heart thumping a frantic, human rhythm. He didn't see the Shadow Cabinet members watching from the observation deck above. He didn't see the red light flickering on the side of the tank. Condition: Subject Alpha 0. Identity: Silas. Status: Activation sequence initiated. The amber gel began to drain. The tubes hissed as they detached from the man’s chest. The glass of the tank didn't slide open; it shattered outward, the pressure sending a wave of fluid across the floor.

“Alright.” As they took the left corridor, the hum of old machinery returned—an unnatural sound, too rhythmic to be background noise. Damien's hand instinctively rested on his weapon. Aurora moved closer, tense but composed. Then, they found it. A large, circular vault door stood at the end of the hallway, with a biometric scanner and rusted keypad. The sign above read: SUBJECT NULL – RESTRICTED. LEVEL 6 CLEARANCE REQUIRED. Damien’s heart pounded. “We’re here.”

It led her to a locked steel door. Behind it, a cold chamber hummed with quiet power. She stepped inside. And froze. At the center of the room, floating inside a cryo-stasis tank, was a man. Tall. Pale. With circuitry etched across his bare chest. Subject 01: Kael Prototype. The moment she approached, his eyes snapped open. Alma staggered back. Julian burst in behind her, weapon drawn. “Who the hell is that?” he asked. The chamber began to shake. Lights flickered.
