Deep in the forests of Japan, lay the abandoned building where the original NT01, 02, and 03 projects were conducted. Within the labs, Anna Williams was on the filthy ground, handcuffed to a desk. There were papers all around. She looked exhausted. Lillian Crawford sat in an office chair, with an article from the Dublin News on the projector. "All this talk of making the world a safer place..." Lillian chuckled. "Would make any ordinary mother proud..." She turned to Anna. "Wouldn't you agree..?" Anna glared at Lillian. "In my personal opinion, your daughter is a saner person than you... What kind of mother wants to murder another womans child...?" She spat at her. Lillian stood up, crossing her arms. "You think that I'm proud of this..?" She laughed. "No... my daughter is destroying your mother's work... Johanna wanted the world in arms... she wanted conflict... So that the world would destroy itself...." She grinned, "Hence the creations of Steve, Daniel, and Marilyn... as your family so kindly calls them."
Anna sat up. "What are you planning, Lillian...? You want the company..? I'm sure Jay would gladly give it to you." Lillian laughed, "I don't want that company... I'm here because your mother didn't want to see those creations alive without her rocking the cradle... to put it nicely..."
"Well, it'd certainly be difficult for her to do that, since Nina killed her..." Anna said.
"Of course... That's why I'm here..." She said, looking down at Anna. "So how do you plan on taking out three people that have been basically bred to be killers? Help? Or are you just that idiotically cocky?" Anna asked, sarcastically.
Lillian knelt down, "I know more about these creations than you could possibly dream of. I know who their fathers and mothers are. I know what they were put through. I know that they escaped, and I know that Johanna is the reason the syndicate failed because Johanna wanted it to. Are you so dim to think I don't know the way to destroy them...?"
"And what is that...?"
Lillian grinned. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Nina was the first to arrive here. She stepped out of her car, and examined the old building. All of this was deja vu to her. Once again, she has to perform another rescue mission and put this woman down. Nina then stood, waiting for Steve and Sorin to arrive. Nina did have a use for Antonio, but she'll deal with him later.

Chris and Marilyn were the net to arrive. He hopped off his motorcycle. Marilyn handed him her helmet. "Thanks..." She said. Chris walked to Nina. "We just want to thankyou for helping us, Marilyn." She smiled a bit. "No problem... What is this place..?" Chris looked to the large building.
"I'm not sure..." He said, "Apparently this was where your cousins were experimented on." He said.
"Experimented..?" She asked herself.
Soon, Sorin and Steve arrived. He parked next to Nina, and exited the vehicle. He walked to his Aunt and Uncle, looking around. "Are we ready...?" He asked them. Chris nodded, "What's--"
Chris' phone shined, and vibrated. "Oh dear.." He opened it.
It was another video...
Lillian had the camera facing her. "Very good... You follow direction nicely... Meet me in the atrium. We'll have a show..!"
Chris turned it off, he couldn't stand Lillian's laugh. "Lead the way.." He said to Nina.

"Experimented..?"
"Yes. Apparently, this was where the kids were created."
Steve got out of the car, as this place had sent chills down his spine. He almost vividly remembers this building. As he entered the building, he was assaulted by flashbacks that blinded him for a second. Finally, he stopped himself and whispered, "I've got to face my ghosts some time!"
"We should all stick together." Nina suggested. "That way we can keep a better track of each other."

Chris agreed, "Let's go..." The Williams siblings led the group inside. It was cold, and dark inside. TVs and fluorescent lights flickered. As they walked, Sorin noticed a sign. "Atrium... It's this way..." He whispered. Chris nodded, with his pistol in hand. Sorin was prepared for anything. Marilyn stuck close to her father as they slowly went down the dark hall way. Deep at the end of the hall was a door labeled 'Atrium' Chris slowly opened the door, looked inside. It appeared empty.
They made their way inside, looking around.
"What a joy...!" Chris spun around, pointing his gun right at Lillian. "You know, I love this room..." She looked up. "The ceiling opens... I suppose it was so the creations could enjoy sunlight..."
"Where is my mother, you sick bitch!?" Sorin yelled. Lillian laughed at him. "She's over there..." Using her own pistol, she pointed to the far corner where Anna laid on the ground unconscious. Sorin immediately ran to her.
"You two can leave now...." Lillian said to Chris and Nina. She then turned to Marilyn, walking to her. "Oh the infamous NT-03 project..." She circled Marilyn, who was standing tall and confidant. "You were always my favorite...!" She said to the blonde. Chris stood by the door, ready to take her out.
"I don't recall being an experiment..." Marilyn said to the woman. Lillian chuckled. "You were never an experiment...." She gave Marilyn her pistol. Mari looked down, and then looked up at Lillian, confused.
"You are the failsafe..." Lillian said to her. Marilyn shook her head, "Wha--"
"You find yourself at a crossroads.... You decide to turn... left..."
Marilyn's face went blank. Lillian smiled, puffed with pride, and giving a truly evil grin to Chris. "You know what to do, NT-03..."
Marilyn then turned to Steve, firing four shots at his head. It was like she was a totally different person. Chris looked on, horrified... "MARILYN!" He yelled running after her, standing in front of her. With Mari's gun out of bullets she charged at Chris who was in front of Steve. She threw it down, and sent both hands at his sternum. A loud crack echoed through the atrium as Chris stumbled back, falling into Steve. Marilyn then leaped forward, kicking her father down with a loud thud, aiming a strike at Steve's jugular.
"What the Hell..!?" Sorin yelled out, this whole thing turned out to be a nightmare. Lillian ran towards him, kicking the man down. "One Williams down, two to go...!" She hissed, pulling out a second pistol. She aimed it at Anna.

"You know, I love this room... The ceiling opens... I suppose it was so the creations could enjoy sunlight..."
"Probably because Vitamin D deficiency is a real problem. They wanted us to be healthy." Steve commented.
When Lillian finally revealed herself, Nina was watching, waiting for an opening.
"You two can leave now...."
Now's my chance! Just as Lillian was walking over to Marilyn, Nina drew out her weapon ready to shoot Lillian. The woman was outnumbered, what could she possibly do? However, she was the only person prepared as Marilyn went rogue.
When Marilyn shot at Steve, the boxer quickly ducks, and steps in to punch his cousin, but his uncle stood in the way. While the two had a clash, Steve ducked out of the way the best he could, but Chris knocked him over.
"Bloody Hell!"
Marilyn dove straight for his jugular, but he sways back and blindly sends in a right hook. Family or not, Marilyn was trying to kill him.
While this whole thing was happening, Nina aimed her gun right at Lillian's right shoulder. She had intended to take out her shooting arm, completely ignoring the chaos around her. After all, it made it easier.

The punch stuck Marilyn in the face, and she stumbled back. She looked up at him emotionless, with blood dripping down her chin. She darted after him again, sending three kicks to his stomach, and then her elbow to his chin. Chris remained on the ground, unconscious.
Lillian was about to shoot Anna, when Nina fired a shot at her. She grazed Lillian's shoulder., and she spun around to see the assassin, grinning at her. "Nice try, Nina..!" She yelled out. Sorin silently got up, and sent a strike to Lillian. She gripped his arm, and threw him down like a ragdoll.
"It's so interesting to me, Sorin... Out of Johanna's grandchildren, you were always her favorite... I couldn't explain why, but nevertheless... I will not kill you..." She then fired two shots at Nina, "I can't say the same for the rest of your family..!" She then kicked Anna. The younger Williams flew threw the air, hitting the wall. Lillian then aimed her gun at Anna, ready to pull the trigger.
Sorin immediately got up, "No..!" He couldn't find his weapons, he was panicking. Soon, his hands glowed in a bright blue light. He went to sent a punch at Lillian, and instead a glowing blue arrow flew from his hand, striking the assailant in the back. Lillian flew through the air slamming against the wall, scrambling to get on her knees as soon as she could. "WHAT!?" She exclaimed.

Steve has sparred with Marshall before, so he kind of knew about fast kicks. However, as he ducked, one foot got into his jaw, while her elbow collided with his jaw as well. She was surprisingly strong. While he was a little down, and not in his stance, he sent in a quick punch to her kidney, followed by another punch to the other kidney. Kidney punches were very effective.
"It's so interesting to me, Sorin... Out of Johanna's grandchildren, you were always her favorite... I couldn't explain why, but nevertheless... I will not kill you..."
"Pathetic. Always following someone else's shadow instead of your own."
Just as Nina was going to shoot Lillian, Lillian had fired a few shots that grazed past Nina. She was not in a good position, but she managed to recover, and held up her gun, ready to shoot Lillian again, this time aiming for her gut. But before she could do anything, Sorin had this magical power that took out Lillian. Once Lillian was on her knees, Nina didn't hesitate to shoot her again, in another shoulder.
Nina quickly held her side not too long after. She was bleeding and loosing blood, but she had to stay vigilant.

Sorin trembled, looking at his hands. "What the hell was THAT!?" He yelled out. Lillian quickly tried to evade Nina's fire, but a shot got her in shoulder this time. She grunted, and got up. "Till next time... Off to pay a visit to Daniel..!" She yelled out, at both Sorin and Nina. She ran out, "Go get her...!" Sorin yelled at Nina, while he ran to help Anna out of her handcuffs. He picked her up.
Meanwhile, Marilyn managed to dodge one strike, but was hit with the other. She was flung to the ground, and gave him a look. With Lillian's retreat, Marilyn backflipped and ran right out of the door.
Sorin sat Anna down, hopefully she'd be comfortable. He ran to Steve, "Are you okay...!?" He saw that Chris was on the ground, and knelt down. "Hey Chris... Wake up..!" He shook the man a little. There was no response. "...Chris..?" Sorin whispered.
He pressed his fingers against Chris' jugular. He looked up at Steve, "His heart isn't beating..!" He rolled up his sleeves to start CPR. As soon as he made his first chest compression, Chris' chest made another cracking noise, and blood oozed from his mouth.
Sorin's eyes widened, and he slowly backed away. "Oh shit..." Sorin shook his head, and looked at Nina.

"Go get her...!"
Nina nodded as she quickly ran after Lillian, despite her injury. She did the best she could, but she couldn't quite catch up to her. Nina stopped to take a breather or two. This blood loss was making her weak.
"She got away. We'll get her next time! Seeing that I've managed to disable her arm... she's not going to get far."
Steve watched as Sorin tended to Chris. He's been out of it for a good while. He flinched as Chris had coughed up blood as he backed away.
"His heart isn't beating..!"
"Again! Really? Dammit, James! First, you get shot up and put in a coma, and now... you break your back and get put into another coma. Won't you ever get a break?"

Sorin looked at her, and looked back at Chris. He bit his bottom lip, as his eyes began to tear. He pulled open Chris' shirt, to see his whole chest was black and blue. "Oh god..." He looked at the blood coming from his mouth. It was black. He shook his head, "This wasn't what was supposed to happen.." He looked at Nina.
"He's dead..." was all he could muster up to say. He got up, wiping his eyes. He knelt down, and scooped up Anna. "We need to get out of here.." He said, quietly. "Call Lei..." he said to Steve. He then took Anna outside. He laid her in the backseat of his car. He then got in the driver's seat, and started crying.
Behind the labs, Lillian and Marilyn got in a black SUV style van. "Take a nap.." Lillian spat out. Mailyn then laid her head down and went to sleep. She started the car, knowing she was losing blood, she needed medical attention. She dialed her phone, "Antonio..! I need your help... Meet me at the hotel..." And she sped off.

"This wasn't what was supposed to happen... He's dead!"
"But that's impossible. He's come from worse! Some stupid little girl can't even come close to touching him! It's impossible!"
"Call Lei...
Steve nodded and immediately dialed for Lei. Lei quickly picked up the phone.
"Good thing you called. Daniel and I are just about to board our flight. We were_"
"Lei! We need your help! Something bad happened!"
"Hold-hold-hold!" Lei chanted. "Did I miss something?"
"It's my Uncle Chris... He's dead."
"............" There was silence on the other line.
"And my cousin Marilyn is now working for Lillian."
"...."
"So... we need you to head down here as fast as you can. Lillian's coming for you."
"..."
"Lei? Lei? Is everything okay?"
"Sorry about that. My phone had poor reception here. As you were saying?"
Steve knew Lei was faking this. It's interesting how a man, that Lei doesn't even know, died, and he's reacting as though this were his own friend.
"Just watch out for Lillian, okay?"
"Will do!"
"We should regroup at my place. For now. Lillian's probably going to look there. But in the meantime... we should get some rest. Let's send James back to the hospital again."
Hopefully, things will go to plan. Nina was counting on Antonio. He better not screw this up, or else he'll never see his son ever again.

Sorin immediately wiped his face and looked at Anna. He ran back in, and helped them bring Chris' body to the car. He looked at Nina. "Take Anna to the hospital..." He looked at Chris, frowning. "We'll take Uncle Chris..." That was all he said. He brought his mother to Nina's passenger seat, and laid her inside. He was still crying.
He got in his car, and waited for Steve to get in.

Nina showed up at the place. She didn't take a car, but rather walked. She quietly sneaked around as she once more was dressed up in her more stealth-based outfit with her motorcycle helmet still on her head, even though she walked. Lillian may have outsmart her the last time, but this time, she knows she's definitely outsmart her this time. Now she knows what she's doing and what her goal is. As well as her trump card. It was going to be checkmate. Lillian had no moves left.

Lillian stood in the atrium. There was still blood on the ground, albeit dried at this point. She sighed. "I'm sorry, Christopher... You were never meant to be involved in this..." She said to herself. She felt guilty, for the first time in her life. Chris was the only member of the Williams family that ever showed her any form of kindness.
---
September 27th, 1998
"You think my mom is gonna have a fit when she gets back..?" Chris asked, laughing. The fresh faced Williams was looking at Lillian int he Williams mansion den. She was wearing a black tanktop with sweatpants on. He was wearing sweats with a white shirt that had the sleeves cut off. "I think she'll be pissed that you are sleuthing with an employee, Christopher..." She chuckled. "You should know better, with our line of work..." She said. He shrugged. "All I know is I love her... She's the most amazing woman, Lillian." She sighed. "Well, As long as your happy." She clinked her beer to his. "I'm happy for you." She stood up. "Thanks for your help in Peru, by the way." Chris said. She nodded at him. "I owe you one.." He said, and she smiled. "Hopefully you'll never have to." She chuckled.
The two looked over when they saw Johanna's silhouette. "Christopher.." She said, walking to the two. "Lillian, leave." She nodded, and walked out. As the mother and son argued, Lillian waited outside. She threw her empty bottle in the trash, and awaited Johanna.
She finally came out, and Lillian stopped her. "Why won't you let me be close to him..? To any of them..?" She asked. Johanna slapped her. "You will know your place, Lillian..." Lillian rubbed her cheek. "I'm sorry, it's just that when I came here, I was under the impression--"
"This is as good as it gets for you. You wanted to know them, know them. But do not interfere." Johanna said. "I'm sorry for slapping you." She said. Lillian nodded. "I can take a hit. Besides, I thought you wanted Chris and Natalia together." Johanna chuckled. "Come to my office, Lillian..."
---
"But he was..." Lillian heard, as she spun around. Her eyes narrowed. "Diana...?" She asked. Diana Martin, Johanna's sister. Diana walked to Lillian. "Your desire for vengeance cost Christopher his life. This is your doing..." She said. Lillian frowned. "How could you possibly know that?" She asked. Diana laughed. "There was a battle here, Christopher is dead. It's not hard to put two and two together."
Lillian crossed her arms. "What do you want..? I'm sure you got whatever it was Johanna wanted you to have." Diana smiled. "I did." She turned her head, as if Diana heard something. She looked back at Lillian. "We'll meet later, to discuss things. I need to pay a visit to Anna, anyways..." She then left Lillian, without saying a word.
