(-June 25, 2046/ Current location: Vanidicus Industry research laboratory.-)
A child-like environment with children between the age of 5 to 7 is nurtured here.
And in its office is where two powerful beings with opposing ideas reside.
[????: You're insane! Creating immortal soldiers for war is unheard of. You have to be broken to think of that solution.]
[????: We must face reality. We cannot defeat him with our current technology and weapons. For now, my scientists have been trying to produce man-made immortals from different species and races.]
[????: Are you fucking with me right now?!]
[????: Our research is moving forward.]
The television turns on.
It broadcasted hundreds of test tubes inside the laboratory.
And inside it are fetuses growing Humans and other races alike.
[????: And you think this is going to save the world and him? Alice.]
[????: It will save mankind and Earth. Anastasia Kidoly E. Mcdowell.]
Anastasia is blown with fear and concern
[Alice: What's gotten into you, Anastasia? This isn't like the woman who struck fear into the hearts of so many. If we don't do something, the entirety of our world will be plunged into his false dreams.]
[Anastasia: This isn't what he would have wanted.]
[Alice: There is no other way. This is what he would have wished for. The safety of humanity.]

(-Age: 4 / Jan 15, 2050/ 7:32 PM-)
Alice who is drinking coffee from her office got an unprecedented call from the lab
[Alice: An escaped clone?]
[Man on the phone: Yes mam, but the scene has been ministered to make it look like a slaughter took place. We've already sent out a search team for it.]
[Alice: I understand. It's alright, leave it be. It should eventually give us some valuable information.]
Anastasia walks into Alice's office room with ire behind every step.
She comes into the room and throws a dossier on her desk.
[Anastasia: What is the meaning of this!?]
Alice takes a look inside the dossier.
[Anastasia: The clones you made have been witnessed by the African and the Russian militia. They haven't even matured enough to consider them as adults. Do you intend to sell them as weapons?]
Alice with her desolate voice.
[Alice: Anastasia. My industry is not built on good wills and ideals. We have received generous grants from people who expect a return on their investments.]
[Anastasia: You truly are insane. You'll never be able to keep something like this under control.]
[Alice: By taking data on the youths' performance under various situations and feeding it back to my failed experiment. There is a chance that we'll make a breakthrough that would have been impossible through laboratory experimentation.]
[Anastasia: You sent those children just for combat data!? Are you that desperate to save him?]
[Alice: I told you, didn't I?]
Alice stands up from her seat and walks around nonchalantly.
[Alice: There is no other way. You mercilessly killed thousands of people 400 years ago. That shouldn't bother an Immortal Daylight walker vampire like you right?]
Anastasia clenched her fist.
Her hand bleeds from her nails piercing her palm.
[Alice: The continuance of humankind takes precedence over all else. Surely you agree.]
[Anastasia: This whole concept. The very idea of creating someone just to be used as a tool by someone else was wrong from the start. These children we're giving life to isn't even him.]
[Alice: It doesn't need to be him.]
Eager to oppose her idea, Anastasia gave her own.
A mad man's Idea.
[Anastasia: Alice. I can defeat Adam.]
Alice is taken back from her response
[Alice: With what?]
[Anastasia: With the magic spell: "Integrum Rasura". You know my history with Adam, don't you? I can use the same magic as him. So call off this project! I will kill him and put an end to this.]
[Alice: I won't. You never said anything about it until now which means you weren't convinced it would work. Furthermore, he used it as a last resort and failed. The probability of your plan is extremely low and besides.]
Alice snaps her fingers.
[Alice: This cloning project- This integration of Dark magic and Light magic is the last and only choice. And most of all his defeat is not the only goal of this project.]
[Anastasia: What are you plotting?]
Their anger can be felt crawling inside others. Anastasia and Alice never understood each other.
The two of them are like living catastrophes.
A group of soldiers armed with exoskeleton enhancements, totaling 30, and a small size mech dropped down from the ceiling.
Alice anticipated that this situation would happen.
Anastasia scoffs
[Anastasia: Look at what you're dealing with. Your enhanced soldiers can't beat me.]
[Alice: Look at "Whom" you are dealing with Anastasia.]
The mech opens its camera and blasted a blue colored light
The light created a small field that neutralizes magic.
Anastasia is startled and dumbfounded.
[Anastasia: This is Mary's magic spell! You artificially recreated it?]
[Alice: You never truly appreciated the power of science. That is your weakness.]
Alice yelled to his men.
[Alice: Seize Her!]
The men wearing the exoskeleton suit rushed forth to apprehend Anastasia.
In her shadow, 4 people emerged behind her.
Her trusted warriors that she has been with from the beginning.
Each of them holding weapons of mass destruction in the shape of swords.
All of Alice's troops stopped from their tracks.
Their presence itself is an anomaly. Each of them instills fear into the hearts of their enemies.
They shouldn't exist and yet they did.
But Alice is unshaken. She is rather too calm.
[Alice: When did they?]
[Anastasia: Call off your troops unless you want to start a war with me.]
[Alice: I would love to but I have my priorities.]
Alice orders his men.
[Alice: Men! Leave them be and go back to your post.]
All of them saluted and did what they were told.
Alice gave a few words before she left.
[Alice: It appears we have no choice but to follow different paths.]
And after that, Anastasia left the building.

(-Age 4/ Jan 14, 2050/ 11:12 PM-)
An old man in old fashioned clothes is walking back to his abode.
Until he suddenly stopped when he saw a child wearing ragged clothes that were too big for him and a bulletproof vest.
[Old man: Oh no!]
The old man ran to the child as quickly as he could.
The child is startled however, he doesn't sense any malice from him.
Only worry.
The Old man asks.
[Old man: Are you alright? Do you have any parents?]
The child spoke.
[????: What is that?]
The Old man felt pity over this child.
[Old man: I see, let's go back to my Orphanage.]
The Child asked again.
[????: What is that mister?]
[Old man: Let's say It's a place where it takes care of children like you.]
