"Who are you?" Beets asked the strange female figure in a nurse uniform standing in front of her. "My name is Ufti. I'm sorry Till had to run over you like that But don't worry, you're only in pain because we have you on pain inducers" Ufti apologized. "That was on purpose?" Beets asked and immediately she stop and touched her throat, "I can talk?" She asked shocked. "Yes, we kinda induced your muteness and deafness also" Ufti informed her. "Who is 'we'?" Beets asked. "We are a group of people willing to do anything to save the world. As if this moment, you are an apparent key figure in doing so." Ufti informed Beets. She gave her the instructions she needed to follow and then left the room. Beets went back to sleep and when she woke up her mom and Peets were sitting right next to her. She then looked at her bandaged leg and realized that the pain had wore off. She took a minute to recollect what Ufti had told her and she made up her mind. She was going through with it. She managed to get Peets and her mom out of the room. She got out of her bed and into a wheelchair, Ufti was waiting for her by the door. She took her to the elevator and wished her good luck. When Peets returned Ufti told him where his sister was and he went after her. As Beets threw herself off the building she was caught by Ufti and a look alike from the morgue was thrown out to create the illusion that Beets had jumped for real.

Emma was about catching up to her dad and the others when Till interfered. "You're not going anywhere" he said. "Till, I need to go after them. Why are you doing this?" she asked. "Because when my father left, the master took me in" Till replied. "Your father left because he thought staying would put your lives in danger" Emma said. "Well, going also would have the same effect. Besides I'm a lot better off being with the master. He has given me true power" Till said as if in a state of illusion. "He has been experimenting with people for so long and we were his first success" he said. "Wait, there are more of you?" Emma asked. "Not exactly, see he has been trying to merge people's DNAs together" he said. "Like a chimera?" Emma asked. "No, chimeras contain two or more sets of DNA. What he's aiming for is one in which the DNAs don't occur separately but are merged to become one" he explained. "So he achieved this through you?" Emma asked. "Yes. By merging me with my sister, body and soul, he has given me a genetic upgrade none other before me has. Except that Anna and for some reason you" Till said annoyed. "Anna?" Emma asked. "Yes, that girl. I have never won a fair fight one on one against her before and I can bend metal with my bare hands. He says that she is the key to unlocking true power but for some reason she's not ready yet, so he was hoping you guys could get her where she needed to be" he said with a smirk on his face. "Every step you have taken, every information you acquired, he wanted you to. He's always a hundred steps ahead of you guys, the perfect puppeteer. You lost before you even started trying."

At the same time on the Carrier, agent were being locked out if their systems. "It's starting" Maxim stated. "But the timer hasn't run out yet" Amara pointed out. "Zakar must have moved up his agenda" Maxim stated. A map of the world then came up on their screen. "The EMP generators are online" one operative said. Thirteen red dots came up on the screen and gradually started increasing in size until they covered the whole map. Immediately, the carrier began to rumble and waves were going wide. One by one all the systems fried out. "Ma'am, we've lost our eyes and ears. All satellites are down, power has been lost" an operative reported. "Switch to auxiliary power, some one get me a status report" Amara screamed. Back where Emma and Till were, Pendant was also affected by the EMP wave. "Give up while you still can Emma, it only gets tougher from here on out." Till said as he left "I wonder how that jetpack was not affected by the EMP" Emma wondered as she watch him fly away. "Activate secondary power" Emma commanded pendant.

Emma went back to the house to take Peets and her mother back to the Carrier. "We lost." Emma said with her head bowed down. "Will mom be alright?" Peets asked. "Yes, she lost a lot of blood but the gunshot wound wasn't too deep." Maxim answered. "So what now" Emma asked. "He's going to plunge the world into chaos and surface later on to be it's savior." Anna said as her and the group made their way into the room. "You guys really shouldn't have come aboard the Bunker" Booman said. "He wanted you to take Anna out" she added. "Till told me that you are the key to something, what did he mean?" Emma asked Anna. "Every since he took me from Ctical, he has been training me, body and mind, shaping me into this ideal persona. Then about three years ago, I started to make progress. Developing monstrous strength and agility and having all this super human abilities. He would always talk about my DNA slowly evolving into what it was meant to be. With every single week that passed my DNA compatibility with his decreased by  roughly 1.2%. It was originally 76.8%, over sixty three weeks it hit 0%" Anna narrated. "That's somehow what happened to Emma" Maxim said. "Well we are sisters after all." Anna said casually.

"Sisters!" Peets said shocked. "Yes, sisters. They were separated years ago when their mom was ruled not fit to raise them." Amara explained. "You know about this?" Peets asked. "Yes, I ruled to separate them from their mother, your aunt Davi." Amara said. "Anna was taken first to Ctical then Emma was sent to Ukwa few years later." Amara explained. "That's not true, I've lived with my family in Ukwa since I was born. There are pictures and stuff." Emma said unsure. "Those pictures were not real and it was easy convincing you because you were so young." Amara explained. "We're straying from the point, that madman wants me here. I have to leave." Anna said. "No you don't." Peets said in anger. "Yeah, I agree. You just got here, we need to get to know each other better." Emma said a little emotional. "We can do that when the world is in a much less delicate space. Somehow I'm the key to his plans. I need to leave." She repeated. "But what if that's what he wants you to do?" Peets said convincingly. "He would have just thrown her off the bunker a long time ago." Norman said. "Bye guys, hopefully we can catch up when this dies down a little." Anna said as she exited the Carrier's bridge, took a squatting position and jumped off the ship far into the sky. "Does she know that we're in the middle of the ocean?" Emma asked. "Yup, she has a very high lift. Perks of being a super human" Beets said. "Her lift force indented the deck." Peets said surprised. "I think her power output is almost equal to yours, Emma" Peets said. "No, its more." Emma stated.

"Am I the only one that noticed Amara implied that Emma and Anna are nieces to Beets and I?" Peets asked as they all went back in. "Nope, it was perfectly communicated." Beets answered. "Oh, Amara have you watched the security footage I sent you from our home?" Peets asked. "Yes, I have." She answered. "Who was that woman with them?" Peets asked. "That's your mother's sister, she is supposed to be dead tho. Her name is Ufti, Codename; Athena." Amara answered.
