Chapter 62: Season 2 – Episode 5
The Revenant Protocol
---
The storm hadn't passed. If anything, it had grown darker — deeper. The city skyline was half-shrouded in blackouts, the streets humming with panic. Somewhere in the chaos, the resistance was growing — and so were the Wraiths.
In a dimly lit bunker beneath Old Harbor District, Julian, Eve, and Reese huddled around a flickering map projected on the wall.
Eve tapped the screen. "We traced the command line. Revenant Protocol isn't a weapon. It's a person — or at least, it was."
Julian's voice was low. "Revenant... sounds like a ghost."
Reese cracked his knuckles. "Let's hope it's the kind that bleeds."

Meanwhile, across the city, deep within the Wraiths' central hub, a glass chamber hissed open. Steam curled around a tall, imposing figure — pale skin marked with neural ports, eyes glowing with artificial life.
Commander Nyra stood before him. "You remember pain, don't you?"
The figure didn't answer. Instead, it stepped forward, body laced with cybernetic upgrades. "Give me the names."
Nyra handed him a file. "Julian Cross. Eve Marlowe. Reese Quinn. Kill them all."
The Revenant nodded. "It will be done."

Back at the bunker, Eve's screen blinked.
"Movement. South sector breach. No insignia. Fast."
Julian readied his rifle. "How fast?"
Before she could answer, the steel door behind them screeched violently — bending inward like foil.
"Too fast," Eve whispered.
The Revenant burst through the wall, metal arm slamming Reese into a pillar.
Julian opened fire. Bullets sparked off cybernetic plating. The Revenant didn't flinch.
Eve dove behind cover, pulling a portable EMP from her pack.
"Buy me three seconds!" she screamed.
Reese, dazed but conscious, tackled the monster from behind, holding on with everything he had.

Eve activated the EMP.
A burst of blue light exploded through the room — static humming violently. The Revenant dropped to one knee, systems glitching.
Julian didn't wait. He launched a point-blank shotgun blast straight to the chest.
Metal fractured. The Revenant snarled, lunging wildly, but Eve triggered the hidden elevator shaft beside him.
The floor gave way.
The Revenant plummeted into darkness — crashing into the abyss below.
Heavy silence followed.
---
Reese groaned, holding his side. "Tell me that was Phase One."
Julian exhaled. "That was survival."
Eve pulled up her screen. "He'll be back. The Revenant Protocol… it's not just him. It's a resurrection initiative. There could be more."
Julian's jaw tightened. "Then we end the source. We end Nyra."
Outside, the rain turned into snow — as if the city itself was holding its breath.
The real war was only beginning.
