The room was dim.
Only the glow of the laptop lit their faces.
Kai, Axel, and Leo sat in silence as the stolen Dragon files loaded.
Hundreds of folders.
Hundreds of secrets.
Leo's fingers moved fast. "This is everything… experiments, missions, classified operations…"
Axel leaned closer. "Bro… this is insane."
Kai didn't speak at first.
He just watched.
Cold. Focused.
Then—
A video opened.
A lab.
White walls.
Shadows of scientists moving quickly.
A familiar voice echoed.
"…Subject Kai shows unstable compatibility…"
Kai's eyes narrowed slightly.
"…Me," he said quietly.
Leo paused the video. "They've been tracking you since you were a kid…"
Axel shook his head. "That's messed up…"
Kai leaned closer.
"Play it."
Leo resumed.
The video showed medical scans. Tests. Failed attempts.
Then a name appeared on screen.
PROJECT: UNDERLORD SEAL
Silence hit the room instantly.
Axel whispered, "…What the hell is that?"
Kai's expression didn't change.
But his eyes sharpened.
"…It's not just inside me," he said slowly.
Leo zoomed in on the file.
"It says here… the Underlord wasn't created… it was discovered."
Kai leaned back slightly.
"…So I wasn't chosen," he said.
"…I was the container."
Silence again.
Axel looked at him. "Kai… that doesn't change anything. You're still you."
Kai didn't respond immediately.
He kept watching the screen.
More files opened.
More experiments.
More pain.
Then—
A new folder appeared.
SUBJECT: MOTHER CONNECTION
Kai's eyes stopped moving.
Completely.
Leo hesitated. "…Kai… I think you need to see this."
Kai's voice was low.
"…Open it."
The file loaded.
Footage.
A woman.
Working inside the facility.
Alive. Calm. Focused.
Axel's eyes widened. "…That's…"
Kai stared.
Unblinking.
Silent.
The video showed her speaking to scientists. Working on containment systems. Writing codes.
Leo whispered, "…She wasn't kidnapped…"
Kai stood up slowly.
The chair creaked behind him.
"…She was here," he said.
His voice was different now.
Not emotional.
Not angry.
Just… sharp.
"…All along."
Axel stepped forward. "Kai, wait—this could be fake—"
Kai raised a hand slightly.
Stopping him.
"No," Kai said.
"…It's real."
Silence filled the room again.
But this time—it was heavier.
Kai turned away from the screen.
His face unreadable.
His voice calm.
Controlled.
"…Now I understand."
Leo frowned. "Understand what?"
Kai walked toward the door.
"…Why I was made."
And for the first time since everything began—
Kai wasn't confused.
Wasn't broken.
Wasn't lost.
He was focused.
Cold.
Clear.
Dangerously clear.
