Infamy for the Righteous

The prestigious Trinity Laboratory has a mass breakout of subjects revealing a dark secret. If the truth of the facility is revealed, heads will roll.

## Summary

The locks disengaged, leaving the prisoners dumbstruck. Faze could hear the many imprisoned leave their cells and slaughter the guards. The screams drowned out any insignificant thought. He looked across at Solas who was also standing there stunned. The two snapped out of their haze simultaneously grabbing their friends. With the seven of them together they began heading down the hall, avoiding the guards’ extermination squad. Amichai accidentally knocks over the guard's gun, alerting an extermination squad. Faze is unable to think of a plan since they are surrounded in seconds. The guards countdown to extermination as they are shot down by a mysterious group of prisoners. As the dust settles Ariel notices a large figure approaching. She recognizes him as Eastmund, the giant with a penchant for violence. His group of friends slowly surround him. The twins, Naoum and Chaya, kick the corpses of the dead guards cursing them for their stupidity. Eastmund tells them to quiet down and demands that Faze’s group team up with his own to escape.

### Mierael Gibbs

With no other option than death Solas agrees to the terms and the two groups continue toward an exit, Naoum and Chaya travel ahead to find any threats. In a small room the twins find a solo guard. Thinking he is easy prey they ambush him only for the guard to punch a hole right through Chaya. Scared Naoum attempts to flee, but is easily outrun by the guard who rips his head off. Solas and Faze see from around the corner, down the hall and relay the scene to the rest. Eastmund’s group is shaken, but follows Solas down a different corridor. They hear the sadistic Head of the Guard, Granger Blackwood, over the loudspeaker boasting about killing 50% of the prisoners single-handedly and calling for the rest to submit. The group travels toward the main hall, and peers in. One of the only exits is being protected by Granger who is killing a group of escapees on the second floor catwalk overlooking the main hall first floor. Faze and Solas decide to find another way, but the coward Amichai realizes that Mierael is missing. They hear a terrifying laugh from Granger who is looking at Mierael on the second floor. He tells her to drop to her knees and beg, but Mierael instead begins using her tremendous speed to evade Granger. Faze and Solas quickly realize that Mierael intended to sacrifice herself to buy them a safe route. The group pushes forward reluctantly and moves across the room towards the guards’ living quarters, while Faze restrains Skard. They hear Mierael’s cries over the loudspeaker with Granger demanding that she cry out for her friends. When no sound came from her mouth he laughed and the sound of a rope going taunt was heard instead. They knew she had been hung. As they go through the Guards’ room and exit into the service hallway. Gemariah realizes that there are guns in the glass cases and attempts to retrieve one once the group exits the room. This triggers the alarm when he breaks the glass, sealing the room, and filling it with poison gas. The group watches through the see-through door as Gemariah chokes to death. Eastmund and his friends seem shell shocked and walk like zombies down the hallway.

### Laviel Burgess

Another voice comes over the loudspeaker who tells them that only they can hear this message: got to the end of the hall and enter the third door on the left. Once inside they meet Dr. Latimer, a bald man with glasses and a robotic hand. He explains that he was the one who freed the prisoners and was working on the behalf of a mysterious group. Latimer has alarms go off in his lab and signals for the prisoners to hide. The door opens and the mysterious lone guard that killed Chaya and Naoum enters. Latimer addresses him as Nanael. Nanael asks about a group that he had been tracking whose trail led to this lab. Latimer denies anyone else entering the lab due to being so scared of being killed by the rabid prisoners. Eastmund shuffles causing the slightest sliding sound on the tile floor alerting Nanael to the prisoners’ presence. Latimer lunges forward spraying a gas in Nanael’s face who rips the scientist in half. With blurred vision Nanael thrashes around looking for the prisoners. They run from the lab, escaping from the madman. Nanael tracks the sound and fires a desperate blast from his hands at Naftali, who is pushed out of the way by Eastmund. They run from Nanael as the halls’ alarms begin ringing causing the blast doors to close one after the other. Nanael is able to just punch through them, but the group knows they aren’t so lucky. It’s a race against time as they try to outrun the doors, but they don’t realize Eastmund is falling behind. Eastmund falls, causing Laviel to stop and go back for him. As she struggles to keep him going with his blood loss one of the doors crushes her leg, and splits Eastmund in half. Laviel lays there, but the group is unable to save her since the next blast door cuts them off. They run with tears in their eyes as Eastmund’s group lost their leader and Faze’s lost their friend. A security door opens and Granger comes over the loudspeaker calling for opponents to fight him. Skard knocks them down screaming a battle cry as he runs down the hallway to kill Granger and Dr. Von Stein.

### Amichai Arashi

They finally approach the exit and realize in the small security room that someone has to hold the trigger to hold the door open. The yells of guards were fast approaching as Faze decided he would be the one to trigger the door. At the last second he was knocked out by Amichai who decided to honor his friends’ decisions and help the remaining members escape. Faze awakens and yells through the window watching Amichai get ripped apart by the bio-engineered hounds. Once outside they find others who had escaped due to Latimer’s help and many factions all converged on the facility. The Marvels, led by Boomer and Perfection, are working with the Military to hold the violent prisoners back. Naftali calls for help, but is fired upon by the military who believe that she is one of the monsters. Solas is able to grab her and get to cover before she is fatally hit, but she is still at risk of bleeding out.

### Faizon Ezekwesili

Inside, Faze hears the sound of kids screaming and heads back down the hallway to investigate. He finds a group of kids crying and cowering in the corner while Nanael approaches them. Before Nanael can kill the kids, he is grabbed and thrown by Faze across the room. Ariel enters and sees Nanael arising. Now flanked on either side Nanael battles the two prisoners, gaining and losing the upper hand.

Outside, Solas is attacked by Kid Brooklyn, who has tremendous strength. Solas uses his pyrokinesis and his own super strength to beat the young superhero into the ground. Boomer tells Perfection that his son is losing to Solas, but the father just calls it a learning experience. Angry at his indifference, Boomer decides to go protect the young man. Now standing toe-to-toe with Solas the two exchange names and begin fighting. Solas finds the fight to be challenging, but persists anyway.

Inside, Nanael is overwhelmed by the two prisoners who punch him simultaneously causing him to explode. They take the kids outside where they witness Boomer halting the battle and allowing Solas to take Naftali out of the battle. Boomer explains he is unable to stop the military and tells them that they will have to find their own way out.

Faze now knowing what to do powers up to 500% and flies into the sky. He uses his mana to lift everything within a mile radius and stop all attacks coming his way. In the confusion and chaos Solas grabs Ariel who helps him move Naftali and the kids away from the facility. Watching in secret the archangel Michael watches the Solas escaping, but decides to stay and watch Faze instead of eliminating them. Nanael fights and loses to Boomer and Perfection and is found by Michael. He begs for Michael to help him, but the Archangel crushes his head under his boot.

In the end they are able to defeat Faze with a combination of neuro-stunners, Boomer, and Perfection. He is locked in the 9th Level of Kamenstein the top maximum security prison in Vespigo. Alone hundreds feet underground, chained to the wall in a tiny cell, submerged in water.
