[Fancy Meeting Hall]

“We’re not going back.” Alice shook her head. “I need to speak to Gordon, and the Council Members. This is… I have this horrible feeling of dread, Didymus…”

[…]

“Kanna!” Rica finally found the woman who he was eager to… um… have a business merger with… and rushed over.

“Are you alright?” He asked, and then he noticed Jason and Erin. “… Really kids, now isn’t the time for that.”

[…]

Sama stood dumbfounded. He had heard and seen everything that Kimblee had done, and it had disturbed the boy deeply.

He reached out and put an arm around Crystal, shaking his head.

“We… We should go… this isn’t somewhere we should be…”

[?]

“… Kimblee has created a suitable distraction.”

A middle-aged man with slicked back blonde hair and glasses stood at the edge of Hydron, on one of the walls. He was The Major, a enigmatic member of the Military Police. He looked out, beyond the wall, and in the distance he saw them coming.

Daleks.

The mechanical monsters created by Nikolai Tesla, powered by human organs.

There were thousands of them. And they were coming.

-Fancy Meeting Hall-

“Ugh, Kanna, you can't...” Samuel began, as Kanna headed into the crowd, about to remind her that he was suppose to be her bodyguard, but stopped himself from saying that in front of Galv and Melanie, since they weren't suppose to know that.

“Follow me,” Samuel then said to Galv and Melanie, and hurried after Kanna.



“Rica, I need you to help me find Maize,” Ethan said, still covered in Kimblee blood, appearing by Rica, Kanna, Jason, and Erin. He nodded to Kanna, right now more worried about his daughter then fighting with Rica over Kanna.

He had a worried look on his face.



“They're screaming because...” Hammah paused, not wanting to tell Collette what happened.

“Because they're all worried about you,” Jimi said, lying, patting Colette on the head, “So let's get you to the hospital ASAP.”

Hammah and Jimi hurried, pausing as they saw Crystal and Sama.

“Sorry we can't stay to help, Colette needs medical attention...” Jimi said quickly to them.

Rica immediately dropped the flirty look in his creepy gray eyes and became serious. He had known Ethan for years, and he knew when it was time to act like a responsible adult.

“She’s missing?” Rica frowned. “Kanna, you should get your kids and leave.” He advised her, and then he ran to Ethan.

“Do you know where she last was?”

[…]

Sama saw Jimi and gasped when he mentioned Colette was hurt. The adorable kid had been injured? That wasn’t supposed to happen!

“Come on! We can take Mr. Stark’s car.” Sama suggested, holding up Tony’s keys.

“I need to speak to Gordon, and the Council Members. This is… I have this horrible feeling of dread, Didymus…”

Didymus raised an eyebrow, about to joke how having horrible feelings of dread all the time, she just had to get used to them...but she really looked serious and shaken up...and was even just using his name...she was being personal, even.

Not a common trait for her. He figured it would be best if he canned the sarcasm.

"Yes...yes, of course, Lady Alice. If you're ready, and the evacuation is finishing up...we can depart right away...they can set up a meeting. The airship should be where we left it..."

Alice was clearly… distraught. The usually proud and unmovable visage of the young lieutenant was broken. She looked around the room, and hesitated before rushing over to the medic working on Mustang.

“You keep him alive. Patch him up.” Alice ordered, and then she turned and moved back to Didymus.

“Call your squad, Lieutenant. I have a feeling we’ll need everyone we can get.”

[…]

Meanwhile, an older man with white hair and a strange box hat who had been attending the party frowned. He knew what had to be done…

Didymus hesitated.

"Shall I call them here, Lady Alice? Or at a headquarters? Don't you wish to meet with command?" he paused.

"If you mean to get out of here, then as long as they can evacuate the wounded, then we should head back to the airship-again, it should be where we left it. I can call my squad to come here, or wherever you think we'll need them, but either way, no time to waste?"

He stepped toward the exit, regarding Alice, waiting to see if she would do the same.

[Streets]

Alice hurried out onto the darkened street, back towards the airship. She stopped once she noticed a telephone box and ran to it, picking up the receiver to call headquarters and tell them about Mustang.

She was soon speaking to one of the officers, recounting the story about Kimblee.

[Military Police HQ]

“What!? Roy’s arm was blown off? Oh man…”

At the office, Major Hughes was freaking out. He stood up and started issuing commands; but then he heard a strange sound outside.

Streets

Didymus was anxious as Alice was making her call, but when she finished he hurried her to the small airship he had rented.

"To the military police headquarters, post-haste. I'm sorry, I know you weren't hired to fly there, but...I'm afraid something's come up. I can throw a little compensation into tonight's fee, don't worry." he said to the pilot.



Soon they were off, going as fast as the small airship could go (which wasn't too fast, it was designed for luxury and comfort, not speed). Using the ship's radio, he had placed a call to his squad, and they would be on the way. When that was done, he sat down with a deep breath.

Didymus didn't know what to say, there had to be so much on Alice's mind...

...he simply poured a couple glasses of water from what was left over from their dinner, pushed one slightly towards Alice, and took a drink from the other.

This could well be a long night.

One of the questions on his own mind was what was going to become of Mustang...but he decided not to voice that question, though it doubtlessly burned at Alice's mind as well...

Outside military police HQ

The noise that Hughes had heard wasn't just a bump in the night. It was a window breaking.

Because a rock had been thrown through it. And a mob had gathered.

It was a poor mob, mostly, of people in worn clothes, but every so often a person who appeared more well to do was among them. Standing in the midst of them was a young man on a soapbox.

"NO LONGER can the people tolerate the decadance and corruption of the ruling class!"

A cheer.

"If the workers and the exploited stand up together, we cannot fail!"

Another cheer.

"We have nothing to lose but our rags and our chains!"

Still another cheer.

"And a WORLD to win, my friends! Demand back what is yours by natural law! TAKE it back from the BOURGEOISIE!"

Many in the mob were armed.

And fires could be seen burning througout the mob, too, torches in some cases...in others, it appeared to be Molotov cocktails....

Outside

Shimera hugged Cess tightly after they were freed. Her parents were a little frantic, wondering just how they got out.

"Oh...thank you, whatever you did," Shimera's mother said to Cess.

“Captain!” Alice said, looking to the captain of the airship. “We’re commandeering this vehicle and your piloting services. It’s an emergency. You’ll be compensated for your time and any damage to your ship by the Malvin House.”

The captain of the airship nodded. He’s pretty much Vidit’s NPC, but everybody in Hydron knows the money and power behind the Malvin’s, and nobody’s going to turn down a blank check from them.

[Military Police HQ]

“… Man the position! Barricade the doors, and make sure we have fire extinguishers ready! Get sharpshooters to the windows and the roof, and everybody get in riot gear!”

Hughes was giving orders, hoping that everything would hold out. He grabbed the phone to try to call the airship and reach Didymus and Alice before they arrived…

Airship

Didymus looked out over the crowd.

"This...doesn't look good. I wonder...oh gosh, I hope my squad doesn't do anything rash...they know how to behave...I hope..."

Didymus was going to give them another call when it appeared they recieved another call from the HQ...

"Hello?"

“Lieutenant!” Hughes recognized the voice. In the background of the call, Didymus would hear several gunshots, the sound of breaking glass, and the gruff voices of some of the military police as they shouted commands.

“This is Major Hughes, do not, I repeat, DO NOT return to HQ! We’re under heavy attack by an unknown group... We’re trying to hold the building… stay away! Try to contact General Armstrong-Malvin or the Commissioner!”

“This is Major Hughes, do not, I repeat, DO NOT return to HQ! We’re under heavy attack by an unknown group... We’re trying to hold the building… stay away! Try to contact General Armstrong-Malvin or the Commissioner!”

Didymus turned to the pilot.

"Take us away from here, pilot. Head back towards...hmmm..."

He thought for a moment.

"Can you take us to a different block? I think I know where we can go to lay low...or try to, while staying near the action...course, she'll wanna kill me..."

He turned the radio again.

"Alright, I have to contact my squad...and get your aunt on the horn, Malvin...or the commissioner..."

“We are NOT simply leaving!” Alice interjected turning and glaring at the Captain and Didymus. “If they’re surrounded, we need to assist them! Otherwise, even if they do hold out, a lot of our fellow officers will die!”

Alice shook her head. “No. Lieutenant, have your team meet us on the roof of the Bell Building… we will pick them up and aide the station from the air!”

Didymus paused.

"Alice, this is partially why I like you, but...we have direct orders to pull back..."

Even Didymus wavered as he said those words...

You DO realize what's going on there, right? This IS what you've been fearing, warning about, since your commissioning.

...but I have my orders...and Lady Alice's safety to consider...

...but you know that if left untended to, this situation will produce bad results...if we...


He was hesitant.

"I HATE defying orders, you know that?" he finally said to Alice.

"Pilot, set down on the Bell Building..." he then said.

Then he got his squad on the radio and relayed orders.

"Before we do this, Alice, we need to send a message to your aunt and the commissioner. You want to be the bearer of bad news, or I?" he asked, offering the radio.
