Act 2:
Where act 1 left off, Aiden, Bayson and McCarthy have just learned of the mysterious organization "The Governance", and the identity of Savage was also revealed to be the old leader of the "Crones" gang, hunting the members of the Governance. McCarthy left the scene, as did Aiden and Bayson. Unfortunately for the two of them, they were quickly found by Darus, who had left the scene as well. Bayson attempts to use the handgun on Darus but fails to fire it, being too nervous and shaky, Darius notices the two boys and kidnaps them, taking them to Angel. Meanwhile, as professor McCarthy leaves the scene, he discovers an injured Savage, conflicted McCarthy wonders whether to help or not, McCarthy interrogates Savage some more, asking what the Governance is doing with the mages, Savage explains that all the rich and powerful individuals of the state are using the potentials from deceased mages to increase their own lifespans, making them immortal. After learning this information, McCarthy agrees to help Savage on his quest to hunt down the Governance.
Captain Phillips is with Lieutenant Lisa and the rest of his squad, wrapping up at the angels warehouse, arresting many Angels. Suddenly Commissionar Zhang approaches him and seems displeased at what Captain Phillips has been doing, claiming he is overstepping his boundaries and giving vague threats. Captain Phillips begins to wonder whether there is some corruption higher up in the force, a corruption that is helping protect the Angels gang. The scene then cuts to a dark throne room, in this room both Aiden and Bayson are tied up and gagged. Standing in front of them are four characters, Duit (a built wolf), Darus, Chelsea (A smirking cheetah) and in the center of them, citing on a chair lazily holding a side arm, Angel. Two unnamed guards unmask and ungag both the afraid Aiden and Bayson, in which a small conversation is had. Angel speaks with a calm voice, asking several questions about the boys affairs and what why they were at the scene. During this conversation Bayson snaps, insulting angel and all his crew and making very crude remarks, Aiden pleads for Bayson to calm down, but angel stands up without speaking, and without flinching points his gun and fires, to the shock of Duit and Duras, but the delight of Chelsea.
There is black, then suddenly eyes open, but Bayson is the one who opens his eyes, as Aiden has been killed. Bayson screams, and sorrowfully demands to know why Angel killed Aiden when it was Bayson who was doing the insulting, in which Angel replies "He feels no sorrow now, you do, the true punishment is keeping you alive" (( though obviously something better and more thought out than that)). Angel demands that Bayson be taken to a cell, and as the boys take him away the scene goes black. It opens to Luid and Felix, sitting on a beach front, they begin discussing matters of life and so forth. Felix reveals to the viewer (though Luid already knows) that he is suicidal, due to a troubling childhood, and claims that Luid is the only thing truly keeping him alive. Luid tells him to shut up and focus on the job, they begin to walk back to their home, to report everything that's happened to the Governance. The scene fades back to Angel, Angel is walking down a hallway with Duit, Duit expresses outrage at Angel killing the boy saying that not only was it a cruel move but it was tactless, as Aiden is the son of Captain Phillips, someone they could of leveraged. Angel says they must keep the boys, as they are both important, the Governance has interest in Branson in particular. Angel then responds by saying Captain Phillips doesn't know his son his dead, and doesn't need to know until the time is just right. He claims that all his actions are for a reason and that he needs to trust him. Duit angrily explains that the Governance has not been happy with his recent disregard for human life and that they believe he is bringing too much attention to himself, they claim that the Blackmill society, the hitman group that Duit works for, may be pulled out of his service and protection if continues to act this way. Angel ignores the remark, and walks into a room, where we see a torturer, Marcus, and a badly injured and tortured Maxis (recall act 1: Current leader of the crones, taken by Luid and Felix, also people of the blackmill society), in the room. Marcus reveals that Maxis hasn't told Luid and Felix everything and that he's hiding stuff from him, but Marcus has failed to extract any information from him. Angel, frustrated at Marcus's incompetence, holds a gun up to a fearful Marcus, he contemplates for a second and without saying anything points the gun at Maxis instead. Maxis claims he won't tell him anything, Angel then responds by saying "You will not survive, I can promise that, one way or another you will die. All I have left to give is this, I can shoot you now, and you will die painlessly, or I can torture you for another 4 weeks, and you can die in the most painful way known to man. Whatever the scenario, you will die, no one will come after you, you will feel no more guilt or suffering, but you will die in one of two ways, and no more." Maxis, contemplating what Angel has said, quietly mutters he wants to die, and tells Angel more about Savage, such as how the amuleat was made and where he is likely to strike next. Maxis then closes his eyes as Angel shoots him. Angel tells Marcus he is no longer on Torture duty, and demotes him to guard the prisoners that they have.
Savage and McCarthy are at a hidden location, discussing their next steps to taking down the governance. Savage says that he only has an incomplete list of people in the governance and he needs a more complete list of all the people that could be in it. He claims that he believes the police are involved, and that from his general affairs he as a police access card that can get him into some secure documents. The only problem is that he needs to break into the police headquarters, and even if he does sneak in he'll be detected by all the alarms and automated security measures. McCarthy says he'll disable the alarms and Savage can teleport in to get the files. The scene then cuts to Angel and Chelsea, making love in a rather unfamiliar and non-romantic way. Once they are finished, Chelsea claims to Angel that he doesn't trust the governance or Duit, and he continues to believe that Duit is secretly out to oust them. Angel dismisses these remarks, he does agree that they are on thin ice with the governance, but he believes the governance has been a driving force for the Angels, keeping the police out of their affairs. An unnamed angels gang-member then breaks into the room, startled to see a naked Angel, unphased Angel calmly asks what's wrong, he claims that the last of the crones are going on a final assault on a large Angel drug trade. Angel tells them to get Duit on it and quietly explains to Chelsea to go oversea the assault.
Captain phillips is at his desk, late at night, looking over old documents. More and more he sees connections between his superiors and dubious deals with the Angels. He questions why his superiors are protecting them and believes it must be something to do with money. He rings Lisa and tells her of his plan to investigate this corruption and for her to go safe. Suddenly, all the lights go out at the police headquarters and all the security goes silent, captain phillips is alone. It is revealed, that McCarthy was the one who disabled the security systems by using Lightning Magi, Savage teleports into the office straight to where the documents are and quickly steals them. However Phillips goes in and sees Savage before savage sees phillips, Phillips shoots at savage and hits him in the shoulder, Savage, holding the documents he needs, quickly teleports out of the way, a trail of blood suspiciously leading a trail of where he teleported. Phillips runs after the trail with his gun drawn, as he approaches street level he sees savage limping away with another figure. He draws his gun about to shoot both the figures dead when suddenly the other figure looks at him, revealing himself to be professor McCarthy. Phillips has a moment of confusion, which allows Savage to teleport them both away to safety. Phillips ponders what is going on.
Duit and Chelsea are waiting patiently with several hidden guards, overseeing the drug deal. Chelsea explains to Duit his hate for the governance and the BlackMill "lapdogs" and shows his hate for Duit and the rest of his "cronies". Duit, ignores him, though shows visible annoyance at Chelsea's comments. Suddenly the crones ambush spring and several crones, including magi's, go to disrupt the Angel's drug deal. But the counter-ambush commences, and Duit and the guards jump in to shoot and kill all of the remaining crones. The last of the crones are devastated, and only the Magi's are left standing. Duit says to keep the Magi's alive for the governance, but instead Chelsea orders his men to kill them all, which they comply. Extremely angry angrily asks Chelsea what he is doing, disobeying the Governance wishes. Chelsea than says to leave, and that they don't need the Governance anymore. Seeing he is outnumbered and outmatched, Duit leaves.
Branson is tied up in a backalley garage, as his cell. He is depressed, constantly going over what had happened with Aiden, suffering from survivals guilt and what believing it was his fault. Outside two guards stand duty, Marcus walks up to both the guards and tells them to go off duty as he'll handle the rest of the shift alone. The other guards leave, Marcus then enters the cell and sees Branson. Marcus then starts assaulting Branson, and unties him. Branson is left helpless as Marcus has his way with him (not shown, but heavily implied). Scene cuts to Chelsea coming back to Angel, explaining to Angel that one of his men killed one of the Magi's, not under Chelsea's order (a lie). Chelsea then explains that Duit was so infuriated he left the Angels, and is going to call Felix and Luid to take Angel out. Angel believes Chelsea's story and administers a force to go kill Duit before he can administer the order. The scene then cuts to Duit, relaxing in his appartment, not making any such order. However, after seeing a few of Angels crews come inside he preps for the ambush. As angel men invade his appartment he begins going on an onslaught, killing something like 15 of his men before finally he is shot, and fatally wounded.
Branson is left alone in his cell once more, clearly even more scarred from before. He begins to get desperate for an escape, he starts practicing the fire-conjuring he learned from professor McCarthy, even though he was unable to successfully do it. As he continues to practice these techniques, he gets more and more desperate, an internal monologue about everything has happened goes through and how his situation is worthless. Suddenly, a flicker of light emits from his fingertips as a very small spark bursts out of his hands, an active effect. Seeing this spark, Branson clenches his fist, maybe there is some hope after all. McCarthy and Savage begin researching the documents that they stole, McCarthy discovers in horror that Angel has captured both Aiden and Branson and they believe they are holding them both captive. McCarthy demands that the hunt for the Governance be postponed until they rescue the boys, to which Savage reluctantly agrees. A scene goes to Felix and Luid on the phone, they hear that Duit was killed by the angels and that they need to retaliate. However just as the phone conversation was about to end a mysterious letter is sent through their front door, the letter is handwritten and simply says "We were framed, we didn't kill Duit, the crones did. Meet us Simple-Point and we can discuss what happened, -Angel". Luid and Felix talk with Mr. Blackmill, who says he is bringing a new assassin over for the demonstrations, unless they get bad.
Angel sits patiently by with Duras, as Chelsea returns and explains that Duit has been killed. But unfortunately, he made the order too late, but he knows that the blackmill assassins will be meeting at Simple Point to discuss their plans. Chelsea recommends to Angel that they have a full frontal force ready to attack when the assassins convene, to which Angel agrees and assembles his force. The shot then goes to captain phillips, about to arrive home, still contemplating everything that's happened. He then sees a letter outside his house that his hand written, as he picks it up it reads "We have your son, meet us at simple point for negotiations." Infuriated, and knowing this is the Angels doing, he assembles a task force to go to Simple point. Savage and McCarthy, who were secretly tailing Phillips for any new information, discover where the event will be happening and agree to go to Simple Point as well.
Final Scene: Act 2: Battle of Simple Point.
A large, under construction, 5 story building towers over a construction yard at Simple point. Angel stands one the second-highest floor, Chelsea claims he will go to the roof as a sniper. Darus goes out scouting around the corners, the rest of the 4 floors are filled with Angels goons. McCarthy and Savage get to the scene, and quickly hide, not realizing the sheer amount of Angels presence. Then Luid and Felix appear, with a third assassin Marcello, they question the large force, and immediately assume it was a trap, and begin taking cover as Angels force open fires. Luid, Felix and Marcello begin open firing on the Angels, with pin-point accuracy taking out many of the Angels crew, Angel simply waits and observes seeing the chaos, silently and without flinching. Suddenly a rush of police cars come up and Captain phillips and his crew come out opening fire on both the Angels and the BlackMills. Savage and McCarthy appear, shouting to captain phillips that they're hear to help. Captain phillips berrates McCarthy for helping Savage, but as they all realize they're heavily outnumbered by the Angels, he submits and allows them to help. Savage begins firing as McCarthy set up fireballs. Angel is surprised by the police presence, knowing that the McCarthy doesn't work for the governance, he is also surprised that governance brought so few men. He comes to the conclusion that he is being duped, and he suspects who is doing it. Phillips shouts out to Angel where his son, Angel, nervous about the new police presence uses this to his advantage. He claims that he was going to give his son to him, but blackmill showed up and killed both Aiden and Branson. Believing this, in a fit of rage Phillips casts a fireball (in the character bios it does explain he uses gems to cast magi) in the direction of Felix. McCarthy fires a series of fireballs in rage, blowing up most of the five story building and taking out a good portion of Angels forces. Felix, unable to escape accepts his face when Luid jumps in the way of the fireball, a massive explosion engulfs them both and we're left wondering who survived.
The scene cuts to Branson again, tied up, Marcus once again comes to the two guards and tells them to leave, the two guards claim they know what Marcus does with branson and they think it's sick. To which Marcus tells them to **censor** off, and they reluctantly leave. Marcus enters the room to have his way with Branson once more, but when he unties branson branson grabs a flammable liquid and throws it on Macrus's face. Before Marcus can realize what's going on branson casts a small fire-spark and this causes Marcus's face to catch on fire. As Marcus burns to death, Branson watches, noting that the tragedy's have shaped him from a frightened, bombastic boy to a killer. He grabs the keys from Marcus's body and escapes the garage, running to places unknown.
Back at Simple Point, everything is a flame. McCarthy watches on in horror as he realizes what he did, he sees men burn to death screaming in pain, McCarthy seems scarred, realizing he has become a monster. Phillips draws his attention to Angel, realizing that most of the police have been killed, Phillips fires at Angels crews, narrowly missing Angel, Angel fires a single bullet near Phillips and hits him straight in the neck. Suddenly, another bullet whisses from the inferno, where a badly burned felix stands up, angry. Claiming that Phillips and Angel killed Luid, his one and only friends, Felix shoots and Kills Phillips, and begins firing on many of the police crew, killing a lot. Lisa hides in fear, seeing Phillip's death. Felix then exclaims to angel that he is coming for him next, and reveals that Angel is actually his bastard father. Felix fires on Angel and hits him in the chest, Angel however does not even react to this and fires on Felix, hitting him in the arm. Savage, seeing McCarthy in his shocked state, teleports McCarthy out of the chaos.
Felix limps up the stairs of the five story building, whilst it is in flame. Most of the Angel crew that came to the assault have fled or are dead, the only ones remaining are Felix and Angel. Felix beings to hunt Angel down, a corridor showdown commences, Felix gets shot a few times by Angel and Angel gets shot a few times by Felix, none of these shots are fatal. Finally Angel begins walking down a corridor to the roof as Felix creeps behind him, Angel points his gun to deliver the final bullet to Felix, but as he fires his gun jams. Felix then unloads a torrent of bullets on Angel, hitting him with every bullet, until he runs out of ammo. Angel, amazingly, is still alive, but he drops his gun and is covered in bullet holes and blood, Angel creeps outside where it is raining, and lands in a heap next to a wall on the roof. Felix picks up angels jammed gun, and unjams it. As he is preparing to finish Angel off he is suddenly shot in the back... by Chelsea, who was still on the roof.
Felix has an inner monologue about the meaning of his life and that he believes it his time to die, as Chelsea walks up to Felix and delivers the final shot. Angel, extremely injured but not showing any signs of pain, tells Chelsea he already knows what happens next. Chelsea smirks, and points the gun at Angel, claiming this was all his plan to take over the Angels drug deal and revolt them against the governance. Angel smiles, and claims Chelsea is a fool, that he will never stand a chance and he is doomed to fail. Chelsea smiles, and he says to Angel "Chelsea?... Please, call me Angel", a gunshoot is heard and the screen goes black. Thus finishing off Act 2.
