[... Four days after certain events that happened on the field near the Phoenix residence ...]
[... A secret lab in New York's underground ...]
A bunch of scientists in lab coats were walking around four corpses, locked in capsules that were filled with blue water.
Cables, tubes, and other things were connected into the capsules and every one of them had one screen, showing some information and numbers about the corpses locked in them.
Opposite the capsules were big doors, that led to other rooms of this underground laboratory, and behind the capsules, about five meters high, were three big windows.
Behind the windows were two men in black suits, a doctor, and two priests, all of them watching the experiment.
On each side of the doors was a desk with two men, one sitting behind the computer, while the other was standing and looking into his tablet, controlling the stats.
On the desk was a computer with some papers and documents about experiment 262/427372, even with a decoder, looking like this:
1- A / B / N, 2- E / C / P, 3- I / D / Q, 4- O / F / R, 5- U / G / S, 6- Y / H / T, 7- J / V, 8- K / W, 9- L / X, 10- M / Z
--------------------------
"Nuclear fusion?" asked the main doctor, standing in front of one of the capsules, looking at his colleagues, who were sitting behind the computers.
"Active, Doctor Veren" said his colleague, sitting on his right, named James Arthur, and looked at other stats.
"Pressure in water tanks?" asked Veren, hearing "Normal, Doctor Veren" from another colleague named Alan Herks, sitting behind the other computer on his left side.
"Atoms colliding with the main locked neurons?" he asked as James answered "Negative Doctor Veren, everything stable", looking at the stats in his PC again.
"Fine, activate the sacred crystals" said Veren as four muscular men stepped inside the room, each one holding a big purple and black crystal.
"Great, now put the crystals on the top of the capsules" said Veren in an excited tone, looking like a psychopathic scientist, while looking at the crystals.
The four men nodded and placed the crystal in the openings of the capsules.
When the crystals were in their places, Veren looked at James and Alan and nodded.
They nodded back then each took a golden key from their pockets and inserted them into silver keyholes near their computers, saying "Done" at the same time.
Veren started counting "Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Now!" as James with Alan turned their keys to the opposite sides.
Almost at the same time, "Everything is normal Doctor Veren, nothing changed. We can continue" said the two men, standing behind James and Alan, holding their tablets and looking at the stats.
"Fine, Jacob? Activate Word's mechanisms and control the speed of locked neurons" said Veren as he looked at Jacob, who was standing next to the last capsule.
Jacob nodded and left, coming after a few minutes with four rod-like mechanisms and each had a big sign of a company named 'Word Mechanic Industries'.
"James, Alan, come and help Jacob. You two, control the stats" said Doctor Veren as Alan and James nodded and left their seats.
The remaining two nodded too and sat behind James' and Alan's desks.
"How can we help" asked Alan and Jacob replayed "You need to put these three tubes into these three holes above the crystals and then hold this button for five seconds until it lit up" pointing on a rounded button on the mechnism, covered in transparent rubber.
"If the color is green, you have it right, if red, you need to disconnect it and repeat the process" added Jacob as James with Alan nodded and started placing the mechanisms above the crystals.
[... After five minutes, they were done ...]
James and Alan placed two and Jacob placed the other two, while Doctor Veren and the remaining two guys were watching the stats of the four corpses in the capsules.
"Done" said Jacob and stood next to Doctor Veren while Alan and James went back to their seats.
Veren nodded, picked a microphone from James' desk, and turned it ON, saying "Ladies and Gentleman, I'm really glad that you chose my experiment on the presentation last week, so thank you again, and let's get started."
"James, Alan, tell me the stats. Jacob... turn it ON" added Doctor Veren and stood in the middle of the room, looking at the capsules in front of him.
"Uhh, Doctor Veren?... The stats of subject 262/427372 b are too high. I don't think his body is going to make it. It's too dangerous, we can lose him." said James as he looked at his friend Alan and then, switched his gaze to Doctor Veren.
"Numbers?" asked doctor, hearing "80, 74, 55, 91 and 86."
"Hmmm, we are too close to be interrupted now. Ignore it" replayed the doctor, looked at Jacob, and nodded.
"Nuclear fusion, starting now" said Jacob and walked to four switches on the wall under the three big windows.
Pulling them all up, the ceiling lights started dying out, while the four crystals on the capsules slowly started glowing with purple light.
Purple lightning bolts started shooting around as the blue water, that the capsules were filled with, was starting to warm up.
The energy was so strong, that a little whirlpool of purple energy started forming above the capsules, so everyone had to shout if they wanted to hear each other because of the wind.
"JACOB! NOW! REGULATE THE POWER!" shouted the doctor and he nodded and walked towards a wheel for regulating power while Veren took a step back from the capsules, clearly remembering a certain accident that happened three days ago.
When they did this experiment for the first time three days ago, one of the purple-black crystals exploded and a wave of purple lightning bolts flew through him and sent him flying towards a wall near the main doors.
'Nothing happened to me. I'm not hurt and I don't have any signs of being shot by it, but still, I feel... different from that day' thought Veren and walked to James' desk, asking "HOW IS OUR SUBJECT B?"
"HE'S HOLDING GOOD FOR NOW. HIS STATS GREW JUST A LITTLE, BUT IF THE POWER IS GOING TO RISE, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE HIM" shouted James and the doctor nodded.
"AND SUBJECT A?" asked Veren and James responded "POSSITIVE... NOTHING CHANGED... UHH, HE'S GOOD SIR!" as Veren nodded again and walked to Alan's desk asking the same.
"SUBJECTS C AND D ARE POSITIVE DOCTOR. EVERYTHING'S NORMAL..." answered Alan and Veren nodded again.
"JACOB! RISE THE POWER" he shouted and looked at the capsules.
The crystals above them started glowing more, "20%!, 25%!, 30%!, 35%!, 40%!" said Jacob, slowly circulating the power through the valve but when the power reached 40%, James shouted "DOCTOR, SUBECT B's STATS ARE WORSE" which Jacob heard too and stopped with the power rise.
The doctor turned and walked back to James' desk and looked at the stats, saying "90, 85, 72, 93, and 95. HE'S NOT GOING TO SURVIVE BUT WE CAN'T STOP NOW JAMES."
"JACOB, CONTINUE" said Veren and Jacob nodded, saying "45%!, 50%!, 55%!, 60%!, 65%!, 70%!" and then, a demonic shrieks were heard all around.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" shouted Alan and looked at James who just shooked his head and shouted "I DON'T KNOW BROTHER!"
Jacob was looking at the doctor, who again nodded so he continued "75%!, 80%!, 85%!, 90%!, 95%!"
At this point, all electricity in the computers, lights, and other electric devices, flew from them towards the four capsules, merging with the purple lightning bolts that were forming a constantly growing whirlpool above the capsules.
"JACOB! GIVE THERE EVERYTHING WE HAVE!" shouted the doctor shaking Jacob, who was closest to the whirlpool but he looked like he was in trance or something.
Suddenly, "JACOB! WAKE THE FUCK UP, OR I'M GOING TO FUCK YOUR WIFE!" shouted Alan as Jacob woke up from his stupor immediately, shouting back "TRY IT AND I'M GOING TO CUT OFF YOUR BALLS, DICKHEAD!"
The two of them then started laughing at how stupid are they, together with James.
They are the true friends at work who after a day went into a bar on a beer, chating about their wives, work and other stuff.
After a few seconds, Jacob turned the valve to the maximum.
"100%! I REPEAT 100%!" shouted Jacob, looking at the doctor as suddenly, a ball of pure energy formed from that whirlpool and slammed against the ground, touching the four capsules on its way towards the ground.
"..."
The whirlpool suddenly disappeared and everything went silent.
Everyone was silent as the lights started getting ON, the computers started booting up and a purple smoke started escaping the four crystals.
"Are we... Are we successful?" said Veren and started walking towards the four capsules, with small hesitant steps.
When he was just a meter away from them, all four of them opened and a white smoke started escaping from them.
All four corpses got up and looked at Doctor Veren, who said "Welcome back, my four riders of Justice. How are you feeling Zanderiel?"
Zanderiel, Etalon, Azmel, and the fourth guy left the capsules and Zanderiel started walking towards Veren.
When he was in front of him, he grabbed him and lifted him by his neck, asking "WHERE IS MY SON?!"
Veren tried to say something, but it was hard, so Zanderiel threw him at the ground and asked again, but then, a man in black walked into the laboratory and said "Stop Zanderiel, your son was killed."
When Zanderiel heard that, he jumped towards the man in a black suit, who with just one punch sent him flying back, behind the capsules.
Etalon's hands started forming a bolt of purple lightning, very different from the one he had before his death.
"What is this?" he asked and Veren, slowly getting up from the ground, started explaining "All four of you were revived and thanks to that, it looks like your powers are modified and stronger now"
"WHO KILLED MY SON!!" was heard behind the capsules as one of them suddenly flew towards the man in a black suit, crashing him against the wall.
Pushing away the capsule, the man in black said "Zanderiel, STOP! We know who killed your son, we are just trying to help you." and started walking towards Zanderiel as if the damage made by the capsule was nothing.
Stopping in front of him, he held out his hand, saying "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lazarus Laire and the man, who killed your son is a newborn Vampire, Christopher Salvatore."
