Countdown To Eclipse
320 Words
Ava, Jonas, Luca, and Maya sped through the city, racing against time.
"Eclipse Protocol's launch site is heavily guarded," Jonas warned.
Luca growled.
"I'll take care of the guards."
Maya nodded.
"I'll hack the security systems."
Alessandro's voice crackled over the comms device.
"Ava, be careful. OTV's deployed their elite operatives."
Ava's grip on her gun tightened.
"Got it."
As they approached the launch site, Ava's instincts flared.
Something felt off.
"Guys, I think we're walking into a trap," Ava said.
Jonas's eyes narrowed.
"What makes you think that?" Jonas asked.
Ava hesitated.
"I don't know...just a feeling."
Luca's expression turned serious.
"Trust Ava's instincts," Luca said.
Maya nodded.
"Let's scout ahead."
They split up, surveying the perimeter.
Ava spotted OTV operatives closing in.
"We're surrounded," Ava whispered into the comms device.
Luca's growl echoed through the night.
"Time to get loud."

Luca charged forward, his Werewolf form tearing through OTV's ranks.
Maya's hacking disrupted the security systems, clearing a path.
Jonas provided cover fire, taking down operatives.
Ava sprinted toward the launch site, dodging bullets.
"Eclipse Protocol, initiate countdown!" a voice boomed through the intercom.
Ava burst into the control room.
"Stop the launch!" Ava shouted.
The technician cowered.
"I-I can't!"
Ava's gun pressed against the technician's temple.
"Try."
The technician frantically typed.
"Launch sequence halted...but it's too late..."
Ava's heart sank.
"What do you mean?" Ava demanded.
The technician pointed to a screen.
"Eclipse Protocol's satellite is already deploying..."
Alessandro's voice crackled over the comms device.
"Ava, we have a problem. The satellite's emitting a frequency..."
Luca's growl echoed through the device.
"That's the Werewolf resonance frequency!" Luca snarled.
Ava's eyes widened.
"OTV's using Eclipse Protocol to control supernatural creatures!" Ava realized.
Maya's voice came through the comms device.
"Ava, I'm trying to hack the satellite..."
Jonas shouted.
"Ava, we've got company!"
OTV's elite operatives stormed the control room.
Ava stood her ground.
"Not on my watch."
