Third Person P.O.V
Echo can see smoke in the distance and is guessing that is the building.

"Is that it Ty?" Echo asks. Ty looks where she is looking and hears a twig snap. He looks towards it and stares at it for a few seconds.

"What?" Echo asks.

"Shh." Ty said. A few seconds later he hears words being spoken and immediately grabs Echo and they both go to the ground as a knife flies over them. Ty looks towards it with Echo still under him and sees what looks like recruits running at them. "What the hell?"
----
"Lisa! How could you?" Sky asks. Lisa takes a few steps back.

"It was either me or them Sky I had to choose. But I didn't think they would completely take over recruit's minds. They are tracking the generals looking to kill you guys." Lisa said. Sky clenches his fist as he hears a scream. He looks towards it and knows who it is. He bolts towards it.

"Quentin!" Sky yelled running towards him.
------
Ty pushes Echo back behind him as he blocks off recruits sword. Getting cuts here and there, Ty tries to protect himself. Quentin tries to get up but can't and feels a sword goes into his back making him scream. Echo looks at him.

"Quentin!" Echo yells. "Ty get off!" Ty moves forward and Echo chases after Quentin. She grabs his shoulder.

"Quentin!" A voice screams in the distance. Echo looks towards it knowing who it is. But a knife suddenly stabs her wrist making her scream. She looses grip on Quentin making him fall limp onto the ground. Ty backs onto a tree. Ty punches a recruits in the face knocking them out. Echo falls backwards as Sky runs to the scene and pushes recruits away from Ty. Sky looks at Echo and the two run to her. Echo stands back up halfway only to be pushed right back down right into a tree. She looks at the recruits in front of her with swords coming at her. Her eyes widen.

"Echo!" Sky yells. Echo looks at Sky as he runs in front of Echo and puts his arm up forming a shield and the swords hitting it.

Jerome was walking down the hall to see Jason when a knife goes into the wall in front of him making him jump. He looks at the thrower and sees an arrow coming at him. He moves to the side and see recruits with weapons pointing at him.

"Okay, what's going on?" Jerome asks backing away from the recruits as they come towards him.
-----
Something grabs Ty's arm jerking him back onto the ground. He stands up only to have something grab his other arm. His eyes trail it and sees it's whips. They pull onto the whips making Ty jerk forward and into a knife going into his stomach making him spit out blood over the recruit's shoulder.

"Ty." Echo said trying to get up. Sky sees and he tries to move only to feel a fist hit him in the face making the shield disappear. He stumbles back a bit. A knife goes up his arm cutting it and Sky yells. He punches the recruit back knocking him out. Sky grabs Echo's sword. He pulls Echo to her feet while Ty steps onto the whips and pulls up making them come out of their hands. But he just suddenly collapses. He yells landing onto his bad arm. His clenches his fists. Echo looks at him and runs to his side. Echo pulls out her whip as one comes towards her. She moves to the side and flicks her wrist making the end of the whip hitting five recruits and they jerk back falling onto the ground.

"Sky we need to run!" Echo yells.

"They will just follow us making us waste energy!" Sky yells back. He runs in front of Echo and Ty while Quentin catches his eye. Laying there motionless and blood coming out of his back. Sky grips the sword. He protects Ty and Echo. Echo goes down next to Ty. She sees his pale face and blood gusting out if his wound.

"Sky, he isn't gonna make it if we don't run now!" Echo said. Sky thinks for a second looking as recruits try to break the shield only to make the recruits go flying back and then looking at Quentin's lifeless body again. "Sky!" He snaps back into reality and grabs Echo and Ty teleporting to a different location. Ty yells as he hits the ground. Echo quickly pulls the knife out of Ty's stomach making him scream and takes off her jacket tieing it tight around Ty's stomach. Sky sits up as someone jumps from a tree pointing a knife downwards at Sky. Sky looks up and lays back down quickly as they land right over Sky. Sky grabs their arms stopping the knife inches from his face. Echo sees it and then tackles them off of Sky. Ty groans loud and Sky gets up seeing someone about to attack Ty. He gets up and runs to Ty. He puts Echo's sword right in front of Ty's face stopping an arrow. He picks up Ty in his arms. He hears running footsteps.

"Echo, run now!" Sky yells at her. She gets up and they both run as six dozen recruits follow them on the ground and in the trees.

"Sky we can't outrun them!" Echo said. Sky suddenly feels weak, then remembering the disease affects, he trips and falls onto the ground. He yelps in pain as he feels a sharp pain hit his right ankle. Echo slows down to a stop and sees Sky try to get up only to yell and fall back down. Sky grabs one of the syringes he has as Echo runs to Ty. He puts the needle in his leg and pushes it down feeling the affects disappears. He drops the syringe and tries to get up again and falls down grabbing his right ankle.

"Sh*t. No." Sky said. Echo runs to Sky's side holding Ty.

"Is your ankle broken?" Echo asks. Sky gets up to his feet.

"I can live with it." Sky said quickly. They run again but Sky is slower then usually and Echo notices.

"Sky you won't be able to run any longer you know." Echo said. Sky ignores her and sees ruins.

"Echo you don't stop running no matter what." Sky said. Echo looks at Sky.

"Sky-"

"You do not come back for me if I die! Do you understand?" Sky asks harshly. Echo looks ahead.

"Yes sir." Echo said. They enter the ruins and Sky turns around sliding backwards. He puts his hands together.

"Rijn Dittn Extic." Sky said as he puts his hands on the ground making ripples appear hitting all of the recruits sending them flying back and onto the ground. Sky collapses onto the ground seeing he did it. He grits his teeth and Lisa appears next to him. She grabs his arm but Sky pushes her away. "Don't you freaking touch me!" Lisa flinches back. Sky grinds his teeth as he tries to get up but falls back down. Lisa looks at Sky's wounds he has. A cut open arm, black eye, and twisted ankle.

"Sky let me help you. Your too far hurt to be able to walk." Lisa said coming towards him. Sky grabs Echo's sword and points it at Lisa making her stop.

"Your the reason why Lisa! You disgraced the Sky Army code you took." Sky said. Lisa takes a step back and Sky lowers the sword and hooks it to him since it is Echo's. He grabs a piece of a hole in the wall next to him and pulls himself to his feet.

"I'm sorry Sky! Didn't you ever do something that went against the Sky Army to survive?" Lisa asks. Sky looks at Lisa.

"No, I would rather die then go against the only people who actually cared about me. I was right to break up with you and now I am again and this time you cannot fix it no matter what you do." Sky said angrily. Lisa takes a step towards Sky.

"Sky!" Lisa said.

"Your also fired too! Your no longer a recruit anymore but just a traitorous backstabber." Sky said.

"But no recruit has ever been fired be-"

"That's because I trust all of my recruits no matter what happens. You on the other hand, destroyed the base, killed innocent people, brainwashed my recruits and in doing so killed Quentin!" Sky yells. Tears form in Lisa's eyes as she tries to argue back but Sky keeps rejecting it. She clenches her fists.

"I didn't want any of this to happen. I tried to stop this before any of this-"

"Everytime someone tries to stop a war before it happens innocent people die. Every single time Lisa." Sky said.

Jerome grabs Ian's arm and pulls him into the room Jason is in. He shuts the door.

"What's wrong?" Jason asks.

"The recruits are trying to kill us." Jerome said looking at Jason.

"Your kidding right?" Ian asks. He shakes his head. Something hits the door making Jerome move back a little and pushing his weight against the door.

"What are we gonna do? I'm not killing recruits. No way." Ian said. Jerome looks at the door and Jason gets up and goes to them.

"I don't have it in me to even hurt them." Jerome said. Jason signs.

"I will distract while you guys run and run far." Jason said. Jerome and Ian look at Jason.

"No. No way, they will kill you." Ian said. Jason pulls out his sword.

"I will drag you guys behind since I haven't healed yet from my wounds and you guys have. Just go. Open the door and I will run down the hall. You guys stay here and leave after I'm out of sight." Jason said.

"I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself Jason! We are all living through this together." Jerome said.

"What about Sam, Jerome? She isn't a recruit and has to be around here somewhere. It the only option and you know it!" Jason said. Jerome looks at Jason for a couple of seconds trying to find a way to argue back.

"Jerome let him do it." Ian said. Jerome looks at Ian.

"No. We just got Jason back Ian and now you want to send him to his death!" Jerome said. Ian grabs Jerome's arm and push him against the wall as Jason goes into the hallway and runs as the recruits follow him. Ian covers Jerome's mouth with his hand, listening to the hallway till there is no more movement. Jerome licks Ian's hand making him take it off.

"That's gross dude!" Ian said. Jerome grabs Ian and turns around slamming him into the wall.

"Why did you let him go?! Jason has no chance against two dozen recruits alone." Jerome said. Ian shakes his head.

"Why are you doubting Jason, Jerome? Jason is smart, he has to have some sort of plan." Ian said.

"What if he doesn't?" Jerome asks.

"Then he died saving us. We need to go find Sam and Jack." Ian said. Jerome stares at Ian for a second then let's go of him.

Mitch opens his eyes taking a deep breath and sitting up. He sees Misty and Seto on the ground. Mitch gets off the bed and goes down next to them. Misty isn't speaking and Seto is asleep. Mitch waves his hand in front of Misty's face.

"Misty?" He asks. Misty grabs a syringe off the floor and attacks Mitch. He grabs her wrist stopping the syringe. "What the hell?!" Misty smiles. Mitch pushes Misty to the left making her crash into the bed. Mitch grabs Seto and runs. He knows that can't be good.

Echo slows down to a stop and sees recruits a couple of feet away in front of her.

"No." Echo said. She takes a few steps back. Ty picks his head up from Echo's shoulder and looks where she is looking.

"Echo-"

"No Ty I'm not leaving you here so I can leave." Echo said. Ty lays his head back on her shoulder. Echo backs up as the recruits walk towards her. She doesn't have anywhere to run and if she does she isn't gonna be very fast with carrying Ty and leaving him is out of the question. "I'll...I'll come up with something Ty. Don't worry."
