"Matthew!" Charlie cried out in relief. Matt sat in disbelief. "Charlie. You...you survived! I mean I thought you might survive but I thought you would get caught." "Well, I'm here!" he smiled. "So, what do we do now?" Matt asked in a confused manor and helpless manor. "That's a good question." They laughed. Partly due to the shock and great-fullness. The sudden noise of helicopter blades and police sirens stopped them mid-convocation. A spotlight searched for them. "Time to run?" "Yes."

"You let them escape!" the General slammed his hands down. His face red and tempered. "Well yes sir," stammered a police officer. "Do you know how much we have just lost?! We've just lost the most important person this country could ever find. He could stop wars! You bastards! Fuck this!" He stood shaking head to toe and drenched in sweat. The General glared at the officers and then left the room. He slammed the door behind him. Pacing down the hall way he barged past militants and various other workers. I can't, he thought, we can't. We can't get the boy! There's only one way of getting him... I can't. I can't use the parasite. It'll kill me! I need to. I need it of I'm going to get him back. Why not reform the shadowknights? No I can't I need him. He's the only one who can control it. I've got to use it.
The door burst open and the General burst in. The scientists rushed to shut the door and inform the General of their progress. He didn't take notice. He just ripped a plastic bag of the test blood from an incubator and ripped its top off. Scientists and doctors all came shouting and warning him of what he was about to do. He drank. His eyes lit up and he screamed in pain. His skin shimmered like metal. And he fell to the floor electricity pulsing through him.
