Part 2 Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee
Also, yes it's long as hell, I don't care. You have to read it. :P

"Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet."
"Yes! We're there. We arrived there five minutes ago.", said Des.
"Yeah, but I didn't think of it till about one minute ago. That's comedy gold that you can't skip on if you get the chance. As a ninja clown, it would be irresponsible."
"You already missed your chan- You know what, I'm going to simplify this to shut up. Now where is that "J" person before I kill Charles."
Rei stopped. "I'm guessing J is one of them." He pointed to a group of several people with large guns pointed at us.
There were seven of them, everyone except the center one had a heavy duty gun pointed at one of us. They all wore identical suits. The suits were metallic, with glass on the fronts of the helmets. One of them shouted at us, we couldn't tell which, the voice was grainy when it came out of the suits. "We aren't going to hurt you. Just do as you're told."
Des shouted out to them. "I'm guessing you're J?"
We got another grainy voice. "We'll answer questions later. For now, hand us your weapons."
I gave a frown. "Why should we listen to you?" One of the soldiers gave off a warning shot to one of our sides. A large explosion came off from that spot. "Still not convinced." I said.
Jasper gave me a stare. "Just give up your weapons before they kill us."
Several more men appeared behind us ready to take our weapons.
Everyone handed them their weapons except for K'Satri. "DON'T TAKE MY LOVE!!!"
One of the soldiers shouted over. "Just let her keep it. It doesn't look like it can do much damage."
The soldiers left with the weapons, and came back with several large vans. "Get in."
"Where are you taking us?"
The soldier responded. "For security reasons we can't tell you."
Several more questions were asked, but they were ignored. We got loaded into separate trucks apart from each other. It was a quiet two hour drive before we stopped. In that period we heard a large gate open. It probably meant we were outside the walls of Haven.
We all exited the vehicles at approximately the same time. We were in a very flat plane. It didn't look exactly natural, and for a good reason. After one of the soldier pressed a few buttons on their uniform, the ground opened up, revealing an entrance. We were lead down this route a long way into an underground structure. On the route we were able to see more people in these metal suits, as well as people outside of them. Down here the suits varied in color, there were reds, blues, greens. The walls were lined with metal, and the building as a whole looked of great importance.
We were finally lead to our final destination. One of the soldier spoke. "The captain is waiting for you inside."
We entered the doorway. It was giant chamber expensively decorated. There was only one person inside of the room, wearing a yellow suit, like most of the others, but the yellow one looked to be of a higher quality.
The person stepped forward, towards our group, and removed their helmet.
Des saw their face, and reached for her non-existent weapon. "CAPTAIN TERSE!"
She walked over toward us. "Calm down, we're not here to hurt any of you. I'm here to ask for your forgiveness and help."
Nyx gave us a funny look. "How do you know her?"
Rei responded, "She was our old squad captain."
"Is this place owned by Service then?"
Terse walked over to a her chair and sat down. "Nope, this is my own little place of revolution."
"Wait, but you're the Furor's daughter, why would you want to hold a revolution." I said.
"I was the Furor's daughter, Roy's dead, but you won't be reading about it in any newspaper. It's on the down-low in the government, and by that, I mean I'm the only one who knows. Well, me and these lovely people who have helped me set up a base."
"You don't sound that sad about it."
"Why would I, he was an ass. Anyways, you people probably want explanations. Sit down, this is going to be a while." She pushed a button and several chairs came out of the wall. Everyone took a seat. "To address the topic at hand, yes my father died, approximately five years ago. In all honesty though, that's just a guess."
"What happened to him?"
"I'd discovered he had been killed, and replaced, by one Stern member, Gene."
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Because, I don't enjoy dying in vain. I'm not the first person to discover this, and those who have before suffered painful deaths. The furor controls the media, so trying to go to them will just be putting on a sign pointing to your face saying, "Please Stab Here". I've worked hard to keep it from Genes knowledge that I know what he did."
There was some loud rumbling in the room over. Captain Terse hit the wall. "You'll be getting to see what caused that next."
Des stood up, "Wait, why have we been chased around by Stern. We have had no connection with all of this."
The captain had a bit of a look of shame on her face. "I'm afraid that's my fault. I might have used all of you a bit." She stepped over to Nyx. Could you show that liquid you have on you.
She gave her a look. "How did you know that I had this."
"That is isonthrope, and I know because I hired you to steal it. It's the factor that connects all of you."
"What do you mean?" Said Des.
"The solar plant was more than I made it out to be. Isonthrope is being produced by secret bases in every city. The solar plant doubled as one of these places, with an underground facility producing it. We've been trying to take these facilities down. When I became aware there was a facility there, I gave the order. When you took down the solar plant Gene most likely assumed that you were aware of what he has been up to, and wanted you dead."
"So what does he want with the Isonthrope?" Asked Des.
"Isonthrope can increase a person's modifications to unbelievable levels. Only one in ten thousand bottles of Isonthrope produced are even useable. Out of those, only one has been perfected. That one was destroyed soon after creation. Gene wants one that's perfected. A perfected one means that the effects of it will be permanent, and stronger than one of these unperfected ones. Gene is already nearly invincible as it is, with a perfected isonthrope, he would be an unstoppable force. What we've been working on is to make sure he never gets his hands on a perfected one. That's where we need your help, but we don't want your answer just yet. Come with me to the next room over."
Captain Terse got up, and walked out. The doors opened themselves in front of her. We followed her to the next room over. It looked like an underground forest. Inside there were Packs sitting around.
"What are they doing here!"
Captain Terse went over to one of them and scratched its ears. "These creatures aren't evil. When you cut them off from the surface enough, they become docile. Something is causing them to act this way, were not sure what, but outside our sensors constantly pick up this background noise."
I went over to one of them, and pet it. It seemed just like a typical dog, except for it being terrifying.
Captain Terse went over to Des. "I want your answer soon, if you will help us or not, but first you can have your squad explore the facility and discuss this. We have renovated an old military base, that's how we got all of these armor suits. You should be able to find a mess-hall a floor down, soldiers living quarters are below that, and finally below that is an armory. The areas above here are abandoned. I'll leave you all be." And with that she went back to her quarters.

Anyone confused? Good. If you have any questions, ask me. I've been planning this one for awhile.
