The drive was silent.

Rami’s truck rumbled through the night, tires crunching on gravel roads as they headed farther into the wilderness. Forest trees closed in around them, their shadows long and eerie in the moonlight. The group sat in the back—muddy, bruised, and burnt. No one talked much. Not after what they just walked out of.

Elias was propped gently in the back seat, oxygen mask on, an IV in his arm, Beverly holding the bag steady. Irene had wrapped his ribs. Maya kept glancing at the rear window, fingers twitching near her weapon. Davion just stared out at the trees.

“We’re close,” Rami finally said. “Old Cold War base. No one’s used it in decades except me.”

“Let’s hope that’s still true,” Beverly muttered.

Davion barely heard her. His thoughts were far from the road.

All he could see was his father’s face—calm, calculated, cold. Legacy must be earned, Davion. Not given.

He’d grown up believing that. That to deserve love, power, even breath, you had to bleed for it.

Now he wa

    The corridors of Genesis were quiet. Too quiet.Not the normal “library quiet,” but that type of silence that felt like it was holding its breath, waiting for you to make the wrong move.Beverly was a few steps ahead, shoulders squared, her black jacket shifting with every sharp stride. She didn’t say much—just kept her eyes on the holographic map on her wristband. I knew her well enough to realize that meant she was locked in.Behind us, Irene kept glancing over her shoulder, her fingers twitching near her holstered gun. “This place gives me the creeps,” she muttered.“It’s supposed to,” I said. My voice came out harsher than I meant, but… yeah. This was my father’s handiwork. Every metal wall, every security drone, every bolt in the floor—he’d either designed it or had someone design it while standing over their shoulder, breathing down their neck like some corporate overlord from hell.“Still no movement on the scanners,” Reika said from the back. “It’s almost like they want us to

    The van’s headlights died as they rolled into the mountain’s throat.Rami killed the engine, and silence rushed in—thick, suffocating, broken only by the drip of water from the stone above.“This is where we walk,” Davion said, voice low.The team grabbed their gear. Maya slung her sniper rifle, Beverly checked her sidearm, and Elias—pale but determined—tightened the straps of a borrowed flak vest.“Stay behind me,” Davion told him.“Not a kid anymore,” Elias said.Davion gave him a look. “Not negotiable.”Elias didn’t argue, but his jaw set in a way Davion recognized—same stubbornness they’d shared as boys.They moved down the tunnel in single file, flashlights cutting thin beams through the dark. Old rails from the mining days were still embedded in the floor, warped with rust. Faint heat signatures bled from deeper inside—just like the satellite scan had promised.Maya paused at a bend, peering ahead. “Two guards. Not human.”Davion moved up beside her. They weren’t guards in the n

    The morning after the mountain fell was too quiet.The air smelled like scorched earth and rain. Somewhere in the trees, birds were calling—hesitant, like they didn’t trust the silence.Davion sat on a boulder at the edge of their makeshift camp, watching the smoke rise from what was once Genesis. His helmet lay beside him. His hands wouldn’t stop shaking.Behind him, Elias slept under a pile of blankets, his breathing shallow but steady. Beverly was crouched next to him, changing the IV bag with the precision of someone who’d done it too many times for too many people.“You should eat,” Beverly said without looking up.Davion didn’t turn. “I’m not hungry.”“You’re running on fumes.”“I said I’m fine.”Her voice hardened. “You almost collapsed carrying him out last night.”He finally looked at her. “I’m still here. That’s enough.”Beverly’s jaw worked like she wanted to say more, but instead she clipped the IV in place and stood. “Don’t make me drag you to the fire.”A crunch of boots

    The hallway trembled beneath their feet as Davion led the charge.Beverly flanked him, rifle raised, jaw clenched. Behind them, Maya sprinted with her blades drawn, and Rami gripped a backpack full of EMP charges like it was his last lifeline.Alarms screamed above.“Take the left corridor!” Davion shouted, pointing to a rusted door marked CORE ACCESS.“I thought you said you had the map!” Maya yelled back.“I said I memorized it—ten years ago!”“Well, let’s hope your trauma has a good memory!” she snapped, ducking a burst of steam from a wall vent.Rami punched the keypad. “Access code?”Davion didn’t hesitate. “0407.”The keypad blinked.ACCESS GRANTED.Everyone froze.Beverly’s voice was low. “That’s your birthday.”Davion didn’t answer. The doors groaned open.Beyond them, a massive chamber stretched out, layered in cables and steel. At the center stood a pulsing reactor core—glowing red, alive, angry. Tubes snaked into the walls, feeding something deeper.And in front of it… stoo

    The corridors twisted like a maze designed by madness.Rust clung to the walls. Pipes hissed. Red emergency lights painted everything like blood. But Davion didn’t stop. He led with his jaw clenched and eyes set on a future he refused to let slip away again.Behind him, Beverly held the rescued girl, her name barely whispered: Nia. Maya flanked them with her pistol drawn, covering corners. Rami’s boots thudded fast, his tablet pressed to his chest like a guidebook through hell.“We’re close,” Rami shouted. “Core’s one floor down. There’s a vertical shaft ahead. But—”The ground shook beneath them. A pulse. Low, like a heartbeat.“That’s new,” Beverly muttered.“It’s powering up,” Davion said. “He’s not gonna let us in easy.”“Let him try,” Maya growled. “I got twelve more rounds and a score to settle.”They turned a corner—straight into gunfire.Clang. Sparks. A bullet grazed the wall near Rami’s head. He ducked, yelling, “Turrets!”Automated. Sleek and silver. Guns mounted like spide

    The elevator ride up felt… wrong.Not quiet—because alarms still wailed somewhere far below—but heavy. Like every breath weighed twice as much now that Genesis was gone.Davion leaned against the wall, sweat dripping down his neck. Beverly stood beside him, helmet off, hair stuck to her forehead. Scarface sat in the corner, knees up, staring at the floor like if he looked away the ground might disappear.Maya broke the silence first. “So… what’s next?”Rami laughed—short, sharp, humorless. “We just burned a ghost city under a mountain and you’re asking what’s next?”“I’m serious,” Maya shot back. “Iron Hand’s gonna feel this. We either use that or we hide and wait for them to regroup.”“We don’t hide,” Davion said immediately.Beverly raised an eyebrow. “You sure about that? Because my shoulder is bleeding and your ribs are probably cracked.”He didn’t look at her. “We don’t hide.”Scarface finally spoke. His voice was quiet but sharp enough to cut. “They’ll come for me too now.”“The
