A loud bell sounded across campus as every 'non-rev' started shuddering. The second bell sounded, and they stopped shuddering. The third bell sounded, and they all turned towards us. The fourth bell sounded, and they came.

The ones nearest us were immediately targeted by Stuart's sentry gun, and killed. After the sentry shot, all hell broke loose. I leaped backwards to join Ian on the roof, and we both started picking off the more aggressive ones. After about 5 minutes of this, the incoming people were still coming strong, and I handed my rifle to Ian for him to use when he ran out of ammo in his L96. My implant picked up a group of 5 moving in on the flank, where no one was paying attention, and I decided to deal with it. I leapt down from the roof, but while I was doing so, I noticed electricity forming in my hands. My fist slammed down onto the ground, and it stunned them. Literally. Wasting no time, I threw a punch, but as I did, a blade extended from my arm and speared the guy. I paused for a second, and thought, "Augmentations. Right." I then took a hit in the back. My left arm reacted, extending the blade backwards into my attacker's abdomen. I re-extended it forwards, and spun around to deliver a lethal backhand. Three left. Two of them came straight at me, so I grabbed one's legs and flipped him. The other one hesitated for a second. I didn't. I threw an uppercut to his jaw, put my left hand behind his back, and smashed his chest in one hit with my right. He fell backward, down for the count. One more. He ran at me, and I met him with both of my blades extended into his lungs.

As I retracted them, I noticed out of the corner of my eye Lincoln straying farther and farther away from the group. I kept my radar on him as I leapt back into the fray. K80's flaring, I defended. When they got close enough for a takedown, I would extend a blade and keep fighting. This went on for about 5 minutes, but seemed like an eternity. Time was in slow motion, adrenaline pumping, my reactions quicker than anything I had ever experienced. The fight was going well, and I directed Stuart and Jessica to begin clearing a path to the car.

Suddenly, I felt a gun pressed against my head. I froze. My radar did a quick scan, and it showed Lincoln holding the gun. He must have either been taken over by the others, or not completely immune to the drug. Either way, I knew I had to act. I slid my right blade upwards and back into his arm, just before he pulled the trigger. I heard two shots. Only one bullet flew over my head. I spun around to follow up, and time stopped. I could see past his arm. I could see the wound forming on Katie's head. I could see the blood pouring out in slow motion. I could see her slowly falling to the ground with her eyes open. I

could see everything.

I saw myself extend both of my blades and stab Lincoln through the heart. I could feel my anger being unleashed. I came back to real time. Lincoln had a smirk on his face, as if to say "Hah! There's nothing you can do now!" Somehow, he wasn't dead. I was about to fix that. I played a sound across campus, so that he could hear what was about to go down.

"They're going to bury what's left of ya in a SOUP CAN!"

I dropped my K80's, stepped over him, and activated the fourth icon. My hands came out in front of me and dropped down to let a tri-barrel gun extend from each of my wrists. The fingers wrapped around the base of the guns. The barrels started spinning with a high-pitched metallic whine. I saw the muzzles flash. I heard the reports. I heard each individual thud as the bullets slammed into his body. I turned away from him, towards the horde of people, and I fired at them too. I was focused on one thing. Destroying every last one of them.

Stuart and Jessica had partway cleared a path, but when I turned my sights to that path, it was cleared in about five seconds. Their jaws dropped, but I took not notice. I spoke one word. "Go."

Ian jumped down and ran down the path with Sindhoor. Alex and Jessica followed. Kate and Maneesha were next. Bharat picked up his stuff and sprinted the length of it with Rachel. It was just me and Stuart left.

"As soon as I pack up my sentry, they're gonna mob us!" Stuart said.

"Stuart. Go. Now." was my response, never looking at him.

He hesitated for a second, and then obliged. The area behind me was now unprotected as he ran down the path. After he was safe, I stopped carving the path and turned to defending myself. I had not stopped firing the whole time. As I turned, I heard an audio feed coming through my implanted comm. I answered it, and it was Ian in the car. He was exclaiming about it transforming into a flying fortress or something or other. I couldn't really make sense of it. When I turned towards the car, however, I could see what he was talking about. Envision something along the lines of the Millennium Falcon or a Blockade Runner (Star Wars) but more futuristic. And a fair bit bigger. I turned my attention back to defending myself just as I heard a loud exhaust roar from over where it was. I saw a shadow coming towards me, and I jumped straight up to meet it. My rockets engaged, my hands came back, and I flew straight into the open hatch, where I crumpled to the ground. Right before I fell unconscious, I felt it accelerate up and out of the school.
