The hum grew louder.
Ava shielded her ears.
"What is this?" Ava shouted.
Thompson's smile widened.
"Reckoning's activation," Thompson said.
The tower's walls began to glow.
Ava's vision blurred.
"Luca, Maya, get out!" Ava yelled.
Luca transformed into a Werewolf.
"Protect Ava!" Luca roared.
Maya grabbed Jonas.
"Come on!" Maya shouted.
Alessandro stayed beside Ava.
"We can't leave her!" Alessandro protested.
Thompson laughed.
"Too late."
The glow enveloped Ava.
Ava's world went white.

*Ava's Vision*
Ava saw flashes:
Ancient civilizations.
Supernatural creatures.
Human experimentation.
Ava's mind reeled.
"Thompson...what have you done?" Ava whispered.
*Back to Reality*
Ava stumbled.
Alessandro caught her.
"Ava!" Alessandro shouted.
Luca and Maya rushed back.
"What happened?" Luca asked.
Ava's eyes locked onto Thompson.
"We have to stop him," Ava vowed.
Thompson vanished into the shadows.
"Reckoning's spreading," Thompson's voice echoed.
The team shared determined glances.
"Time to take down OTV."

Ava's vision cleared.
The team surrounded her, worried.
"Ava, what happened?" Luca asked.
Ava's gaze locked onto Thompson's escape route.
"Thompson," Ava growled.
Maya's eyes gleamed.
"I've got his location."
Jonas nodded.
"Let's move."
The team pursued Thompson.
Through OTV's hidden corridors.
Past supernatural creatures.
To the heart of OTV's headquarters.
Thompson waited.
"Welcome to Reckoning's core," Thompson said.
Ava's gun trained on Thompson.
"End this," Ava demanded.
Thompson chuckled.
"Reckoning's just beginning."
Suddenly, the room filled with supernatural creatures.
Controlled by OTV's technology.
"Thompson, you're insane," Ava spat.
Thompson shrugged.
"Practical."
Luca transformed into a Werewolf.
"Protect Ava!" Luca roared.
Maya and Jonas provided cover fire.
Alessandro faced Thompson.
"You're using my family's research," Alessandro accused.
Thompson smiled.
"Improving upon it."
Ava's determination hardened.
"Shut down Reckoning."
Thompson laughed.
"Too late."
