Date & Time: 18/08/2018,4: 00 AM
Location: New York Sanctuary, USA

The air inside the New York Sanctuary was thick with tension. At 4: 00 AM sharp, an emergency board meeting had been summoned without warning by none other than the Chief of the Illuminators, AJ himself.

What's the urgency, AJ? What happened? one asked.

I have intel, he said,
The Shadow Forces have opened a portal to the Dark Dimension. It happened at midnight. Fortunately, due to insufficient power, only eight beings were able to pass through before it closed.

A chill swept through the room like a sudden winter wind.

"Dear God, " one director gasped. Is he here? Has Kal entered Earth?

Leo, AJ's brother and Second of the Illuminators, stepped forward. "No. It's not Kal, " he said grimly. If Kal had returned… the Earth would already be damaged.
The board stared in silence.

AJ nodded. "It's not Kal. It's his son Karlos and his brothers."

"I need to meet him, " AJ declared.

The room erupted in protest.

"No, AJ, they are too dangerous! "

Leo shook his head. Not now, brother. We need a plan. we need to hunt them down together.

They have no army, AJ said calmly, but firmly. This may be our only chance to understand their purpose. I must go alone.

Then I'll come with you, Leo said.

AJ placed a firm hand on Leo's shoulder, locking eyes with him.

No, brother. If anything happens to me… you must take command. The Illuminators must endure.

The directors again voiced their objections, but AJ silenced them with a wave.

I can handle them, he said with unshakable conviction. I've faced worse. And I know Karlos. If he's broken the ancient pact… I need to hear it from him. Myself.

Leo's eyes narrowed. I fear the worst, brother. What if he's here for something we've hidden from the universe?

AJ froze, then turned sharply.

"Protect K25, " he ordered.
No matter what happens, keep K25 safe at any cost.

The room fell silent.

With sudden fury, AJ turned to the directors. There is a traitor among us! he roared, and with a swift gesture, sealed the chamber with a containment field.
