Night shadows blanketed West Hollow as Jack led the Chaos Crew toward the hidden Guild facility identified in Zara's findings. Adrenaline surged, mixing anxiety with determination as they navigated narrow alleyways illuminated only by flickering streetlamps.
Draven halted before a seemingly innocuous warehouse. "This is it. Heavily guarded, but lightly staffed this time of night."
Jack's fists tightened, halo pulsing with barely restrained energy. "Let's not keep Kenny waiting."
Lyra placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "We're with you."

Silent Entry
Reina and Draven swiftly disabled perimeter sensors while Zara scrambled security feeds. Patch fluttered overhead, keeping watch from above.
Inside, the facility felt sterile and oppressive. Long corridors stretched before them, doors lining each side. Jack followed Zara's map, heart pounding as they reached a heavily secured room marked with biohazard symbols.
Jack's pulse quickened, his voice strained. "Open it."
Zara bypassed locks swiftly, door sliding open silently.

Reunion
Inside, a figure lay restrained on a medical table, surrounded by glowing monitors. Jack stepped closer, breathing ragged.
"Kenny," he whispered hoarsely.
The young man stirred weakly, eyes fluttering open—eyes identical to Jack's. Recognition sparked instantly.
"Jack?" Kenny rasped.
Jack moved quickly, freeing his brother from restraints. Emotion surged, throat tightening painfully. "I've got you. You're safe now."
Kenny smiled faintly, gripping Jack's hand. "Knew you'd find me."

Escape and Resistance
Alarms blared suddenly, lights flashing red. Guild reinforcements converged quickly, but Jack and the team were ready.
Lyra unleashed powerful arcs of lightning, disabling approaching guards. Reina and Draven fought back-to-back, efficiently dispatching attackers. Jack shielded Kenny protectively, maneuvering carefully through chaos, his halo amplifying his reflexes.
Patch guided them toward an emergency exit. Zara remotely detonated EMP charges, plunging corridors into darkness behind them.
Bursting into the night air, Jack drew in deep breaths, relief washing through him as Kenny stood beside him, free at last.

Bonds Renewed
Back at the safe house, Kenny sat wrapped in blankets, color returning slowly to his pale face. Jack watched carefully, still processing the night's events.
"You saved me," Kenny murmured gratefully.
Jack smiled, heart swelling. "Always. We're family."
Lyra approached softly. "Welcome back, Kenny. You're one of us now."
Kenny nodded, eyes brightening. "Glad to be here."
Jack felt renewed strength, memories finally anchored fully by the presence of his brother. The Chaos Crew was now complete—stronger, unified, and ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Together, they would reclaim their lives and reshape their future.
