stand?! I need you on your feet!” Ace barked.
    It was clear to see that the Stranger death toll had tripled during the time that I had closed my eyes. Ace still stood guard over me as a new wave of Strangers hesitantly moved towards us.
    “We have to get out of here!” Ace shouted as I finally pulled myself to my feet.
    “I’m not leaving without the hostages!” I replied.
    “There are thousands of them up there, Reaper! We don’t have that kind of man power!”
    “I have to try! We can at least save some of them!” I insisted. “Make sure Alias doesn’t get away. We have to keep him around to stop them from setting off the bomb!” I said as I pointed at a nearby group of Stranger troops that were attempting to evacuate the still unconscious Alias.
    “Reaper, no—” Ace started but I had already zoomed away before he could finish.
    I barreled through countless Strangers and rocketed from floor to floor in search of the droves of hostages. I was mortified to discover that there were far more than the so called one percenter fat cats locked away throughout the building. There were men, women and children from all walks of life within those office rooms. The Strangers had spared no one after all. The terror that I saw on the faces of those children even after I had liberated them made my desire to save them all even stronger. I knew that some of them would die—either by the stampede that ensued once I demolished the walls that confined them or by the hands of the remaining Strangers that were still lurking throughout the building, but at least some of them would make it. As far as I was concerned, some of them dying was a hell of a lot better than all of them dying—and that’s exactly what would have happened if I had not come for them.
    The building started to tremble as the faint sound of explosions erupted from below. I knew it wasn’t the big one because the entire building would have been consumed if that was the case, but I still realized that I was running out of time. I braced myself to keep my footing as I contemplated my next move while the stampede of newly freed hostages chaotically stormed around me. There were still several floors that I had not yet liberated but I had grown concerned for Ace’s safety. The Strangers had began using explosive weapons; therefore I knew that Alias had to have either escaped Ace’s custody or he had given the order to use any means necessary to defeat us. If that was truly the case, then it was only a matter of time before they triggered the big one. The Strangers possessed bombs that were powerful enough to level an entire city block. I knew this because they had actually set one off during the Stranger Acquisition of Boston, Massachusetts. I desperately wanted to save the rest of the hostages that were still locked away in the floors above me, but I also knew that if The Strangers set off one of those giant bombs, even I wouldn’t survive it.
    I charged forward and crashed through the plated glass window of the 40 th floor room that I was standing in and plunged head first toward the street below. Rubble and debris littered the air as I soared toward the ground and, to my surprise, swarms of helicopters were swooping in and fighting off Stranger troops while others were zipping in and picking up groups of freed hostages. In mid-air I flipped my body and smashed against the concrete, throwing up a huge cloud of dust and rubble upon impact. I quickly pulled myself to my feet and peered into the crowd of Strangers and fleeing hostages that flowed from the building looking for any sign of Ace. I breathed an internal sigh of relief as I finally noticed him standing near the entrance of the building still fending off hoards of encroaching Strangers. In a blur, I zoomed around Ace in a circle at over 200 miles per hour and incapacitated the entire group of Strangers that were attempting to subdue him.
    “They’ve triggered the bomb, Reaper! We have to get out of
