Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Judas Protocol

A new character entered: Mercutio Vane, Romeo's former best friend, who had turned into a bounty hunter for the Council. He tracked them to a derelict cathedral. In a brutal showdown, Mercutio pinned Juliet down.

In the original story, Romeo's love for Juliet leads to Mercutio's death. Here, Romeo's hatred for the Council forced a choice. He didn't save Juliet because he loved her; he saved her because she was his "greatest weapon." He killed Mercutio with a single, cold shot. As Mercutio died, he laughed. "You two... you're becoming exactly what they feared. One mind."
