  10. Inside of the unknown Atlantean bunker's communications room, Maksym Skala, leader of this sect of Judaism recently revealed to actually be an isolated descendant branch of the last survivors of Atlantis, has just finished telling the tale of how the Atlantean remnants came to the decision to rejoin the rest of the Earth's societies to the younger members of their order present.
  11.  
  12.  
  13. (Maksym Skala): So, young ones, what did you think?
  14.  
  15. (Sachi Mas'ud): Very intriguing!
  16.  
  17. (Kaleb Roth): Ehhhh......
  18.  
  19. (Maksym Skala): Do you take issue to my recital, Kaleb?
  20.  
  21. (Kaleb Roth): Well, I just thought that the Atlanteans would've taken a bit longer to come to this decision.
  22.  
  23. (Maksym Skala): Perhaps I did abridge the details a bit, but most of their story had already been told before the collapse of their civilization. Besides Gamera acting as a ferry and guardian for our ancestors, they mostly just lived alongside the native peoples of these areas and integrated into their societies.
  24.  
  25. (Sachi Mas'ud): So our group, the Da'at Yichud..... are they the majority of the descendants?
  26.  
  27. (Maksym Skala): Good heavens, no! We are merely descended from Zeus's own bloodlines, and even then not directly. About 0.2% of all of humanity has some genetic marker passed down.
  28.  
  29.  
  30. As the young explorers discuss what their elder has told them, some of the ancient machinery begins to sputter and return to life, albeit in less than optimal condition. This immediately gets Maksym's attention, who rushes over to the main communication station. As he speaks in Hebrew into some of the Atlantean analogues to microphones, Kaleb Roth notices something in a ventilation shaft.
  31.  
  32. As the rest of the teenagers rush to aid their parents, the chubby boy quietly walks up to the vent cover and gets down on his hands and knees to take a look inside.
  33.  
  34. At first, he can't seem to make anything out bar a brief flicker of a green light. Soon enough, however, the flickering grows more constant. Once the light has reached a steady glow, everything else happens too quickly. The vent cover bursts open, and an object that appears to be the source of the green light comes forth and pounces on top of the boy.
  35.  
  36. The other Da'at Yichud explorers are quick to turn their attention to this commotion; the more militant members quickly unholster their weapons from their backs and aim it at the intruder. But who, or what, is this intruder?
  37.  
  38. A Loyalist Mimetic Drone is the culprit, and it's now holding the boy up in the air by the collar of his shirt, clearly threatening horrible things should the other sect members attempt any heroics.
  39.  
  40.  
  41. (Loyalist Drone): You will cease all hostilities!
  42.  
  43. (Maksym Skala): Hard to do with you taking a child hostage!
  44.  
  45. (Loyalist Drone): The Axis Alliance has been monitoring your progress, and we require your aid.
  46.  
  47. (Maksym Skala): Bullshit! You just want to exploit our knowledge to put the world into chaos!
  48.  
  49. (Loyalist Drone): We have the advantage. We know of your secret hideouts, we have the resources to overpower your advancements, and I have this boy hostage without you being able to resist.
  50.  
  51. (Maksym Skala): That's what you think. Gamera..... if you would be so kind.
  52.  
  53.  
  54. All of a sudden, Gamera's monstrous hand crashes through the glass ceiling, crushing the Loyalist Drone, freeing Kaleb Roth, and causing the sea water above to flood into the room. However, an invisible field emanating from the guardian monster's clawed fingertips extends to the Da'at Yichud members and serves to protect them from the water pressure and lack of breathable oxygen.

  65.  
  66. In the desolate space surrounding the unknown warehouse serving as the main base of operations for the self-proclaimed "Axis Alliance", a constant blue streak of electricity is seen circling the ramshackle building at immensely high speeds. One would think that this act would deprive the surrounding area of breathable atmosphere and create a cyclonic effect. One would think.
  67.  
  68. The area is kept under control by an invisible field emanating from the Mimetic Colossus standing guard overhead, thus allowing the other members of the terrorist cell to operate normally.
  69.  
  70. After a few more straight minutes of circling, the streak of lightning slows to a halt, revealing the black speedster known as Zoom; he takes off his mask and lets his dirty blonde hair fall out. As Jay Garrick walks towards an old picnic table outside of the warehouse, his girlfriend and leader of the Order of Homo Novus, Bloody Mary, comes out to greet him.
  71.  
  72.  
  73. (Mary Stoker): Still trying out that Velocity-9 that Savage gave you, sweetheart?
  74.  
  75. (Jay Garrick): Yeah, I am. The formula has increased my speed many times over, but I still don't think I'm fast enough to break the barrier yet.
  76.  
  77. (Mary Stoker): You'll get it eventually, Jay. Our cause depends on it.
  78.  
  79. (Jay Garrick): I know, honey, I know. He's waiting for us on Mars. Did they already tell you, or--
  80.  
  81. (Mary Stoker): Yes, I was informed. It's just a matter of time and proper coordination. Oh, and Jay?
  82.  
  83. (Jay Garrick): Yeah?
  84.  
  85.  
  86. The ever charismatic Post-Human leans in for a big kiss with her boyfriend, whom happily accepts. After parting lips, she gives him a nod; Zoom cannot help but smile and put his mask back on.
  87.  
  88. In an instant, the black speedster is racing around the warehouse once again, somehow even faster than before, and visibly causes spatial and temporal disruptions. It appears that Jay Garrick is getting closer to his goal of "breaking the barrier", as the Mimetic Colossus, having had no problems suppressing these distortions before, now actually exerts a small inkling of effort in containing the fastest man alive.
