  1. [May 9, 2166]
  2. [Scientific & Technological Advanced Research Laboratories]
  3. [Central City, U.S.A.]
  4. [Colony State - Canadian Super-Nation]

  6. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  7.  
  8. The Scientific & Technological Advanced Research Laboratories, S.T.A.R. Labs for short. This facility served as the birthplace for many of humanity's greatest discoveries in the past century, as well as the home base for several of the intelligent minds responsible for those discoveries. However, today is a slightly different matter altogether.
  9.  
  10. Just outside the main building, a significant portion of the facility's staff has gathered by the main gates; all are looking up to the sky. A yellow-clad streak with red lightning zips into the middle of the crowd and takes off his mask to reveal a dirty blonde mug as he looks up with the others. Beside him, a prominently bearded man with slicked-over hair reaching beyond his neck is looking to the sky like the others, but he has a stern expression in contrast to the awe and amazement of the others.
  11.  
  12.  
  13. (Eobard Thawne): Is that.........
  14.  
  15. (Vandal Savage): Mothra. And the other two.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. The monster goddess herself, bringing with her two of the greatest scientists in the modern day, makes landfall on the ground before the group. After a short showcase of her status via a full-body illumination display, she sets her head low to the ground to allow Anna Maximoff and Wei Ho to slide off; the two of them are greeted to a rather sizable cheering as the facility staff now swarm all over them.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. (Wei Ho): Gah.... damn dynamic entrances.....
  22.  
  23. (Anna Maximoff): THAWNE! A LITTLE HELP!
  24.  
  25. (Eobard Thawne): On it!
  26.  
  27.  
  28. With lightning quick reflexes, the man behind the Flash uses his speed to whisk Anna Maximoff, Wei Ho, and Vandal Savage into the main laboratory. The crowd, after being robbed of their welcoming act, disperses; many of them groan at not getting the chance to properly greet the two scientists. Mothra, meanwhile, starts to fly off into the distance.
  29.  
  30. Inside of the largest research lab, the three other scientists relax a little. Eobard Thawne, meanwhile, is busy super-speeding around the room, cleaning up workstations, organizing equipment, and gathering up all of the scattered notes, results, and other miscellaneous data. Once he comes to a stop, he falls into a chair, apparently quite exhausted.
  31.  
  32.  
  33. (Anna Maximoff): Thank you, Eobard.
  34.  
  35. (Eobard Thawne): No..... no problem..... whew, that took a lot outta me.
  36.  
  37. (Vandal Savage): Yes, well, that's good and all, but why don't we get down to the meat of business?
  38.  
  39. (Anna Maximoff): Very well, then, Dr. Savage. Wei, if you would.
  40.  
  41. (Wei Ho): Of course, Anna.
  42.  
  43.  
  44. The good doctor of biology and bio-metaphysics brings up his datapad and inputs a few commands. With this sequence, the main holographic screen activates, showing several three-dimensional simulations. What do these simulations show, however?
  45.  
  46. The simulated sequences showcase what appears to be the damaged second body of Irys flying through the void of space towards Earth, slowly but surely. Whilst the man behind the Flash is understandably nervous, Vandal Savage shows a surprising amount of stoicism, perhaps even the slightest hint of curiosity.
  47.  
  48.  
  49. (Eobard Thawne): So you're telling me....... that Irys...... the monster we all thought was floating dead in space......... is coming back?!?
  50.  
  51. (Wei Ho): Unfortunately, yes.
  52.  
  53. (Vandal Savage): How exactly do you two know of this?
  54.  
  55. (Anna Maximoff): Easy. Mothra showed us.
  56.  
  57.  
  58. Vandal Savage, a man with little to say but a lot to give when he does talk, walks to some of the vials of fluid on the desk before him. He grabs two of them, holding one in each hand: a yellow one that appears to be fizzling quite a bit, and one that's red and relatively stable-looking. The good doctor walks up to Anna Maximoff and Wei Ho and gives each of them a vial.
  59.  
  60.  
  61. (Vandal Savage): There is no need to panic. We have more than enough firepower to eliminate one weakened and dying Atlantean beast. And even if our own defenses fail, the Earth's resident monster protectors have this issue covered.
  62.  
  63. (Anna Maximoff): Don't you understand, Savage? The mere fact that Irys is back at all, even after all these years, is disconcerting!
  64.  
  65. (Eobard Thawne): Well........
  66.  
  67. (Anna Maximoff): Well WHAT?
  68.  
  69. (Eobard Thawne): Well..... Dr. Savage DOES have a good point. The combined totality of Earth's defensive measures is simply too great for the likes of a single enhanced P.E.M.F. like Irys to penetrate.
  70.  
  71. (Vandal Savage): Exactly. Now why don't I show you what I've been working as of late?
  72.  
  73.  
  74. The two colleagues look at each other. After deciding that they have no proper rebuttal to give to the Velocity formula's creator, they allow him to continue speaking. This seems to greatly amuse him, as he puts his arms around everyone's shoulders and leads them to the back of the laboratory space. On the desk in front of everyone lies several more vials, filled with fluids of varying degrees of yellows and reds.
  75.  
  76.  
  77. (Vandal Savage): I've been improving on the Velocity formula for awhile, now. I'm now up to Velocity-9--
  78.  
  79. (Wei Ho): VELOCITY-9?! Already?!
  80.  
  81. (Vandal Savage): Indeed. As it turns out, once I had established Velocity-2.......
  82.  
  83.  
  84. Vandal Savage looks at the vial of yellow fluid inside of Wei Ho's hand, then at the dark red fluid within the vial in Anna Maximoff's hand.
  85.  
  86.  
  87. (Vandal Savage): It was a trivial matter in advancing the formula from stage 3 to 9. I've now eliminated the problem of the neurological damage that could've been caused by overdosing.
  88.  
  89. (Anna Maximoff): And what use would we have for this new miracle drug?
  90.  
  91. (Vandal Savage): Oh, I don't know. Maybe using it to enhance the Civil Defense Force's own capabilities to flush out and eliminate the remainders of Bloody Mary's Order. And aren't the Storm Covenant still considered a national threat at this time?
  92.

  98. [The Kremlin]
  99. [Moscow, Russia]
  100. [Russian Mainland]
  101.  
  102. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  103.  
  104. In the deepest level of the Kremlin, where they keep only the most dangerous of criminals, a group of scraggly-dressed and rather aged men and women are escorted by a group of Civil Defense Force security personnel. They open the doors to the far right that leads right into the cell of the leader of the Order of Homo Novus. The lights turn on, revealing Bloody Mary's pale face. She looks up at the group; she struggles to do so due to her shackles and hard-light restraints putting her in a kneeling position.
  105.  
  106. The smug Post-Human can't help but smile.
  107.  
  108.  
  109. (Mary Stoker): I was wondering when you guys would take up my offer.
