Phineas's POV, three days later

As I woke up I looked towards Katie who was trying to stand. She tried, but couldn't maintain her balance.

"If you push yourself, you're going to make it worse. You should rest." I said as I sat up.

"I'm not going to stay in this bed, while the others are still fighting." She replied.

I got to my feet and found they were still a little wobbly, though not as bad as before. I took a step towards her and said, "If you push your body before its ready, you won't be able to help them."

"You'll also be laying in that bed longer if you re-injure yourself." Someone said, though I didn't recognize the voice. We both looked toward the stairs and saw a young brunette girl with her arms crossed.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Shannon O'Neil, I'm Ryan's sister." She answered.

"How come we haven't seen you before?" Katie questioned.

"I'm technically not allowed down here, but since mom got called to the factory to work, and Ryan's out getting some supplies. I'm supposed to be watching you two so that you don't re-injure yourselves." She explained.

"Aren't you a little young to be helping the resistance?" I asked.

"Yes, yes I am. Though if I'm not mistaken you and Katie have been a part of the resistance since you were eleven." She replied.

"How did you know that?" Katie asked.

"I recognize Phineas from the T.V. after the resistance overthrew Doofenshmirtz the first time." She answered.

"Okay fair enough." I replied.

Shannon then walked towards us and said to Katie, "You need to take it easy, don't stress yourself, let your body heal. Okay?"

Katie sighed in defeat and said, "I'm tired of being cooped up down here, I want to walk around a little."

I got an idea and asked Shannon, "Would you mind helping us upstairs, to get some air; it would be nice to be above ground for a little bit."

"I don't know, you still seem a little wobbly when you're standing. She can't even stand by herself." She stated as she crossed her arms.

"I can make it, my legs are strong enough." I replied.

She gave me a "Really" look; I could tell she took after her mother, "Okay." She said skeptically.

As I started to walk I was a little wobbly, but I made it to the bottom of the stairs. As I started to ascend them, my legs decided to give out a little but I managed to stay upright. I looked towards Shannon and asked, "Can you help me up the stairs, just so I don't fall?"

"Sure." She replied as she smiled and shook her head, before helping me up the stairs.

As we got to the top, I was in the living room of the house. I saw that the entrance to the basement was behind a fake wall, which had a table in front of it. I could feel the air wasn't as stuffy as down below. I took several deep breaths.

She giggled at my actions and said, "Is the air that much better?"

She sat me on the couch as I replied, "When you've been in an old bunker for a while, the air above ground is easier to breathe in."

We heard the door open and Ryan entering with a bag. He saw me and said, "Looks like someone is feeling well."

"I'm able to get up the stairs now."

Shannon cleared her throat, then said, "With a little help."

"Where's Katie, I'd imagine that she would want to get out of the basement too." He stated.

"I better go get her." Shannon replied, she went into a room and grabbed a white t-shirt, then headed back downstairs.

Ryan went over to the window and closed the curtains.

"Why did you close the drapes?" I asked.

"Some neighbors like to look into other people's houses. Let's just say it's best to keep the curtains closed so no one can see you." He replied.

"Let me guess, some people call the bots over and get some type of reward?" Katie commented as Shannon helped her up the stairs, I also noticed that Katie was wearing the T-shirt that Shannon grabbed. Shannon then helped her to the couch, and sat her down.

Ryan said, "The Normbots found out, through a collaborator, that one of our neighbors was helping the resistance."

"I still don't understand why they did that to him." Shannon said as she began to tear up as she continued, "I was watching through the window when I saw the Normbots bring him out, they then-," she couldn't finish the sentence.

Ryan went over to Shannon and pulled her into a hug.

"You don't have to finish that sentence Shannon. Ryan told us what happened." I said.

"I don't get how people could turn on each other; sell them out for a reward." Shannon said with a hint of anger.

Ryan broke the hug and said, "Some people only care about themselves."

Ryan then looked towards us and said, "Even though the resistance is trying to overthrow Doofenshmirtz. The resistance is also making life difficult for people."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Ryan and Shannon sat down on the couch with us before Ryan spoke, "I've been seeing Normbots round up random people in the streets. I have a feeling that Doofenshmirtz is going to instill even more fear into the people."

"Like what?" Katie asked.

Doofenshmirtz Evil News update. We heard the T.V.

"I hate that thing so much; you can never shut it off." Shannon said as she watched the T.V.

A Normbot with its 'Nice' head out announced, "This just in. Our glorious leader has an announcement to his loyal subjects; we now go live with Emperor Doofenshmirtz." before Doofenshmirtz appeared.

"This message is for the resistance and people of the Tri-State Area." Doofenshmirtz announced.

"These attacks on my Normbot installations are starting to annoy me. I know that many of you hate me for imposing so many laws and being for a dictator, but I do this to keep things in order. With these attacks, I am forced to take drastic action."

He then waved his arm off to the side. The camera then turned towards a wall with ten people blindfolded; their hands tied behind their backs. As the camera widened out there were 10 Normbots hovering about 5 feet away from them.

"What is he doing?" Shannon asked.

"Shannon, go to your room right now and close the door and don't come out until I get you." Ryan said to her.

"Why?" She questioned.

"Just do it." He said sternly.

Shannon nodded and headed towards her room and closed the door.

"He's not going to-,"

"He is." Ryan interrupted me.

A man in a black suit, with an arm band depicting Doof's face, came into view of the camera and said, "Make ready." The Normbots raised their arms to a ninety degree angle with their guns pointed up. "Take aim." The man ordered, the Normbots pointed their guns towards the people. The people began to cry or just stand still, ready for death.

"Fire!" He shouted; the Normbots obeyed. Time seemed to slow as the Normbots fired, I watched as the bolts hit their targets, and the people now lay on the ground or against the wall.

The camera then turned towards Doofenshmirtz as he continued, "From now on I am going to execute ten random civilians for each target the resistance destroys or attacks."

I looked towards Katie who had her eyes closed, I couldn't blame; her I'm never going to forget those people's faces. I looked towards Ryan; he was breathing heavily and clutching his fist out of rage. I couldn't help the lone tear that escaped my eye. All I could think about were the families of those people. Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters that wouldn't return. Then I thought about how we were supposed to fight Doofenshmirtz, and not bring further suffering to the people of Danville.
