Back on Earth, Gloria and Brendan watch as the Nietzchean barracks is destroyed by a brilliant and very loud explosion.
The charges went off perfectly and no Ubers escaped the collapsing inferno. The explosion did however draw the attention of other Nietzcheans. They approached the back of the building, looking for survivors and any sign of the people responsible. Brendan waited for a fairly large crowd to gather before giving the order.
"Now!" Brendan shouted as he fired.
The Nietzcheans had no cover, but they still put up quite a fight. They began to press forward, toward Brendan and his men.
Brendan was about to order for his men to fall back, but was interrupted by Gloria's voice coming from his communicator.
"Need some help?" Gloria asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." Brendan replied.
With Gloria's half of the squad coming around from the front of the building, they caught the Ubers in a crossfire.
In front of Faneuil Hall Harper and Becka heard the sound of the charges as they detonated, destroying the barracks.
"There's the bang." Harper said. "Any second now Ubers should be running out of their command building here to investigate."
Almost before Harper could finish speaking The main entrance to the Hall opened and Nietzchean soldiers began storming out.
Harper began to shoot but Becka stopped him.
"Wait." Becka said. "We want as many of them outside as possible before we attack. It'll be harder to deal with them if they stay inside. They could possibly hold us off for days. That is unless you don't mind destroying this building."
"No you're right Boss." Harper said. "This is a historical landmark that's survived for a very long. We'll wait."
When the Nietzcheans stopped exiting the building, Harper ordered his squad to begin firing, targeting the Ubers in the lead first.
Things were going well until they began receiving enemy fire from the two guns from the second floor.
"Somebody take out those guns!" Harper shouted as he continued firing at the enemy.
"We're trying!" One of the men shouted back, right before a bullet from one of the massive guns blew a huge hole in his chest.
Harper got up.
"Cover me Becka!"
"What are you doing?" Becka asked.
"No time to talk!" Harper yelled back, as he ran and took cover behind a large statue of the Nietzchean progenitor.
"If he gets himself shot, I'm killing him." Becka said, as she laid down cover fire for him.
Becka looked at a soldier next to her.
"Cover me." She said.
"What are you going to do?" The soldier asked.
"If he's going to do what I think he's going to do, he'll need some help."
Becka got up and ran to the statue where Harper was taking cover firing every step of the way.
"Hey." Harper said still slightly out of breath from his run to the statue. "You come here often?"
"Oh yeah." Becka said. "The foods lousy but they got a pretty good floorshow." Becka fired a few more shots and another Uber bit the dust.
"I don't know." Harper said, shooting another Uber in the leg. "I think they need to work on their choreography."
The large guns were taking large chunks out of the statue as the gunners attempted to kill Becka and Harper.
"Looks like fun times over." Harper said.
"When did it start?" Becka asked.
Harper activated his communicator.
"Hey guys. There's no way we can take out those heavy guns from out here so Becka and I are going in. We'd appreciate as much cover fire that you can give us."
"You got it Seamus!" A females voice replied. "We'll cover you. You two take care of those guns and we'll deal with the big bad uglies out here."
Suddenly it sounded like the squad had doubled as they increased the severity of their attack to give Harper and Becka a chance to get inside.
Without word Becka and Harper began running for the main entrance. Just as they were about to reach it A very large Nietzchean appeared in the doorway with a gun pointed right at Harper.
The next thing that happened surprised Harper as well as Becka.
A fiery blast instinctively shot from Harper's hand and incinerated the Uber instantly.
Becka and Harper didn't have time to act stunned. They continued running till they were inside.
Becka looked around for more Ubers but didn't see any. She could however hear the sound of the large guns upstairs as they fired at their friends outside.
"Harper?" Becka asked "You…"
"I didn't mean to Becka. I really didn't." Harper said. "It was like a reflex or something. I didn't even have time to think about it. He was vaporized before I realized what was happening."
"It's ok Harper." Becka said. "We're here to kill them anyhow. This is war. What does it matter how we do it."
"I just don't want to accidentally do something like this to someone else Becka. Trance told me to be careful., but I never really understood how powerful I was until now."
"You'll be ok Harper. When this is all over Trance will help you to understand your powers better."
"You're right Boss." Harper said. "We don't really have time to be talking about this right now anyhow."
Harper and Becka found the stairs and proceeded to locate the Ubers manning the big guns.
