Miami Florida, 2:00 pm. As the sun glows over the city, a man, with a black hoodie, is seen coming out of a Grocery Store, with a bag of various foods. The man then sees a kid, who instantly recognizes him. The man, revealed to be Kajor, smiles at the boy and he puts his finger to his mouth, indicating the boy to stay quiet.
As Kajor walks back to the Penthouse, he sees the multiple news reports of violent incidents with Humans and Elementals, on a television screen, through a mall window. As Kajor looks on in disgust, he then goes into a dark alleyway, and he teleports back to the Penthouse.
When Kajor gets back to the Penthouse, he senses that someone is there. He teleports to the Living Area, where he sees Vader, sitting down and drinking a cup of coffee.
"You were expecting someone else?" asks Vader.
"No, you are just the person I wanted to see." Kajor replies, putting the groceries inside the refrigerator.
"You been watching the news?" Vader then shows Kajor the news reports from around the world.
"Yeah, it's sickening." Kajor answers.
"Well, they do have a reason for it all..." Vader disposes of the reports, throwing them into the fireplace.
"You know The Covenant was responsible for the whole attack!" Kajor reminds him.
"Yes, and even though that you stopped them, there were still countless casualties." Vader retorts.
"You don't think that it doesn't weigh on my mind?" Vader walks towards Kajor, hoping to elaborate on what he is saying to him.
"I am not saying that you all are careless, but there are consequences that you have to deal with."
"Yeah, well how do you deal with them?" wonders Kajor.
Vader gets up from the chair and he answers, "Let me show you."
One hour later, Vader takes Kajor to the CIA Building, to show him a project that he is working on. Kajor and Vader walk down a hallway, that scans Kajor as they go.
"So, how did your meeting go with the President?" asks Kajor.
"Well, she wants to meet you and the rest of your team." reveals Vader.
"Well that's a surprise, I didn't think I would be caught up in politics." Kajor then notices that the system says unknown entity after scanning him.
"Well, you never know when the President wants to talk to you." Vader points out.
"You and she must be close." Kajor guesses.
"Yeah, we were, and still are good friends, I once was part of the Secret Service. I saved her life once." explains Vader.
"You took a bullet for her?" asks Kajor.
"Yeah, a Sniper bullet, hollow point ballistic, right to my side. Luckily it missed my kidney." Vader then lifts up his shirt and he shows the scar to Kajor.
"Pretty." Kajor comments upon seeing the bullet scar.
"I suppose you never got shot before, have you?" wonders Vader.
"I have, but I'm a Neo-Elemental, fatal wounds I can walk off like it's nothing." explains Kajor.
"Well, that must be nice." Vader and Kajor then reach a door, that scans their eye and allows them to enter in a darkened room, as pitch black as the eye could see. Vader activates a switch on his wrist watch and he shows a new surveillance system, with multiple monitors surrounding them.
"This is what I like to call, 'Project Eagle Eye.' It uses state of the art surveillance cameras, to snuff out any Elemental or Human and we send a Tactical Team, to stop a threat before it happens." explains Vader.
"Funny, I thought the punishment came after the crime." judges Kajor.
"None of us can't wait that long, ever since the events of months ago, we were unprepared for the type of assault that we would face, this time we are way ahead of the curve." Kajor shakes his head, disappointed in what Vader has created.
"By spying on every living being, and calling it protecting the world." Vader then turns towards Kajor, surprised by his reaction.
"We take the world as it is, not as we like it to be, I thought you would have figured that out by now." replies Vader.
"You know what I believe? You are doubting my words and my beliefs. We can show them a better path, so they can learn to be truly free. What you are doing, is not freedom, it's fear." Kajor passes judgment towards Vader's solution.
"This will cause more problems than it will solve. We're supposed to protect every citizen, not spy on them and subject them to oppression!" Vader takes offense to Kajor's observation.
"As I said, we take the world as it is. It's about time you give up your mother's dream." Kajor chuckles, upon hearing those words from Vader.
"Don't press your luck. Oh, and by the way, ask yourself this; if you take the world as it is, then why did you make my team join your organization?" Kajor walks away, leaving Vader to think about his words.
Hours later, Kajor meets up with his friends, at the penthouse and he sees Ken staring outside of a window, while playing around with his powers at a subtle rate.
"Enjoying the view?" asks Kajor.
"Just wondering why some of the world is still not warming up to us." replies Ken.
"It takes time, what matters is that we saved a lot of lives, but lives were lost in the process." Kajor looks at the television.
"There are people that still believe in peace, I guess it's just hard to see with everything that is happening." Trent believes.
"Can you blame them? After the attack, the battle between Humans and Elementals just escalated into homicidal warfare." Raven points out while drinking a bottle of soda.
"What do we do?" Bryant wonders.
"We do what we always do, we protect this world, no matter the situation." states Master Yuki, who emerges from the meditation chamber.
"Humans are going to retaliate against us, but we can show them the path that is more greater and fight with them, instead of against them." he adds.
"It won't be easy, but then again, I welcome the challenge." Jordan confidently boasts.
Meanwhile, back at the CIA base, Vader is seen standing in his office, looking at a giant screen. He then installs a flash drive, into one of the jack slots on his desk.
"Computer; scan the files of Project Eagle Eye, and trash them." Vader commands, towards the holographic screen.
"The drive has already been cleaned sir." the computer tells Vader.
"Who is the one who cleaned it?" asks Vader.
"You, Director." informs the computer. Vader quickly heads out of his office and he goes down an Elevator, to the Basement. Vader then calls the President and he has a brief talk with her.
"Madame President, I need a favor of you." The President wonders what is transpiring as Vader asks for her assistance.
"What is it?" she asks Vader.
"I need you and your operatives, to look into my files for me. I want to make sure it's nothing dangerous brewing." Vader tells her.
"Okay Vader, I'll run it by Briggs, but may I ask why?" President Sharpe wonders out of curiosity.
"I don't know, it's just a feeling I have that something big is about to go down." answers Hobbs.
"Okay Vader, be careful." cautions President Sharpe.
"Wilco Madame President." replies Vader. Vader hangs up the phone and he gets into his car, planning to drive to a secret location. Vader goes for a drive on the freeway and he puts Langston on the phone.
"Langston, I need you in DC, there is a lot of things going on." requests Vader.
"Okay, give me four hours." replies Langston.
"You have three, over." finishes Vader. Two black clad police cars pull up beside Vader, with the drivers making direct eye contact with him. Vader looks at them, noticing their all black get up.
"You want to see my lease?" Vader asks sharply. Suddenly, a Kevlar plated SUV crashes into Vader's car, sending him into a street lamp. Vader hits his head on the airbag; his vision distorted from the force of impact.
"Fracture detected, requesting anesthetic injection." cautions the computer in his system mainframe. Vader sticks a needle in his fractured wrist, numbing the searing pain.
Vader takes out a black Flash Drive and he transfers his computer mainframe into it. He suddenly sees several mercs in black Kevlar plated armor, come out of the car. Vader slips to the back and he cuts open the back seat, allowing himself to get into the trunk.
The armored mercs surround the damaged car, checking for Vader's body. Vader comes out of the truck and he quickly kills the Mercs with headshots, before hijacking their truck. Vader quickly uploads his mainframe, into the trucks computer and the mainframe takes it over.
"Get me out of here!" orders Vader.
"Finding escape route!" calculates the computer.
As the night sky falls over the city of Miami, The Masters of Elements team is seen training with each other, inside the Penthouse courtyard.
"All of you are getting faster and stronger day by day. Remember, always strive to be your best. Never try to be perfect." says Master Yuki.
"Thank you Master, it's going pretty well since Kajor is teaching us." Raven says, making Kajor blush. After their training is done, they see a battered and bruised Vader, sitting outside, on the balcony.
"Vader, what the hell happened to you?" questioned Kajor.
"I had a little, accident..." remarks Vader.
"Yeah I'll bet." Michael says, looking at Vader's. Vader then shows the team a text on his phone that reads, "Files stolen..."
Raven then wonders, "What do you mean, files stolen?" Vader types on his phone, "CIA compromised."
Samantha then asks, "Who else knows about this?"
"Just us..." Vader types onto his phone. "Me and my friends." he adds after typing.
"Is that what we are?" Kajor wonders.
"That's up to you." replies Vader.
"What type of files did they steal?" questions Kajor.
"More than you can imagine..." suddenly, Vader is shot, with a shotgun blast to his back, surprising the team. Vader firmly collapses to the ground lying in a pool of blood.
"What the shit was that?!" exclaimed Raven.
"Shotgun fire!" alarms Michael. Kajor looks at Vader and he checks for a pulse, by putting his fingers on Vader's neck.
"He's bleeding out, he's not breathing!" exclaims Kajor.
"This is Raven Kyoto, we got a GSW on the director, I need an ambulance at our location ASAP!" Raven says into her wrist communicator.
"Kajor, do you have eyes on the shooter?" asks Trent. Kajor then looks out of the window and he sees a mysterious woman, running on the rooftops.
"Call Langston, tell him I'm in pursuit!" replies Kajor. Kajor teleports onto the roof, where the woman is fleeing. Kajor tries to kick her, but the Woman blocks it and she attempts to punch Kajor, but Kajor blocks it and they begin to trade attacks with each other. The woman then kicks Kajor into a wall and she jumps off of the building. Kajor then goes over to find her, but she is nowhere to be found.
