Hours before the destruction of the factory John was working throwing the sledge hammer over his head then back down to his feet in a continuous motion as sweat ran down his head he thought back to the day before when he snuck away to train every so often he would sneak away from his shackles and train whether it be physical training or even training his Gates and today was the day this factory would be destroyed or at least he'd hope, he looked towards Westen who was also in the same motion as John and made eye contact before nodding giving him the signal.
Over the years due to their working conditions many of the alpha children had grown in size and physique, of course the shackles as mentioned were only helping with said growth, John made his way to a column in which they had been placing multiple pieces of moonstone which were absorbing an abnormal large amount of energy from the factory's main supply, as John felt the stone pulsing greater and greater than the days prior he knew it was only a matter of time before they would explode and cause the factory to go off allowing them to escape.
Moon stone can absorb energy pretty easily the problem is trying to release it due to the nature of the stone and how it works it's meant to destroy the energy not release it however when Westen discovered that it was attached to Lloyd it wasn't destroying energy rather it was pulsing with it meaning they needed the moonstone to be near some sort of energy source so close in fact that's it couldn't destroy the energy but rather pulse it. Which is exactly what the factory's power source was a radioactive energy core that was creating all sorts of weapons, tools, even machinery. Westen had explained the plan to John and the others at night so that no one would hear them and made sure to place the moonstone near the core whenever the guards went on their break of course there was no camera near the core due to the radiation and John's energy shield protected him from it.
But without warning the ground shook violently and soon the factory began to fall apart, pipes, ladders even stair casings began to fall all around every one John acted fast grabbing a guard before a pipe landed on her head, she thanked him before the ground shook again this time the floor opened up causing the shackles to break freeing everyone. Jessica immediately took advantage and bolted for a hole in a wall with Diana right behind her, many followed the 2 Alphas out of the dreaded factory. John and Westen were running and dodging falling objects as they headed for the hole before hearing a loud
"Stop right there!" a wolf shouted as he pointed a gun at them as clanking objects filled the room
"You sure about this? Are you willing to die for a single shot on one of us?" Westen questioned as the wolf was shaking the gun at him and then at John trying to choose who to shoot
"Shut up you don't understand what happens if I live and you escape what'll happen to me!" the wolf shouted
"I guess I don't and honestly I don't care for 3 years I've been tirelessly worked by you people so I'm leaving you coming John?"
"Right behind you Westen."
The wolf stood stunned by their words watching as they turned around and ran out of the hole out into the light never to be seen, the wolf then dropped his gun falling to his knees thinking to himself "Why was I born into this cursed family why did I have to be apart of the Lunar family?" as tears filled his eyes the factory collapsed.
