Kronos and Hephaestus ran out of the room with wide eyes as they listened to what Sky had to say.
"Wait, who are you?" Sky finally finished the explanation with a question.
"Another time Sky!" Kronos yelled.
Hephaestus made his way towards the door. "I'll start the evacuation then make way towards Prometheus, Pops, you and Sky finish it then come." He reached inside the poach of the Apron and pulled out a metallic box with a red button on it.
Kronos nodded as he stared at Jennifer, still under the coat.
Hephaestus pressed the button and alarms started blaring, sending the town into panic. "LISTEN UP YOU LOT!" His voice became amplified as it carried over the alarms. "A GIANT IS INVADING, START EVACUATING TO SECTION E AND STAY THERE UNTIL I COME GET YOU!"
"Section E?" Sky asked.
"An area on the opposite side of the woods, it's in a small mountainous region that's close by, I've built a base there just in case something like this happened." Hephaestus explained.
With that he nodded to Kronos and left the house, sprinting down the street as his body began glowing.
Kronos turned to Sky and explained where the base was and left the home, joining some of the dwarves in the evacuation process.
Sky placed Jennifer on the ground. "You heard where it was… I'm sure you can make it there on your own." He rose up and made way towards the door before a small tug stopped him.
"Where… are you going?" Jennifer asked quietly.
Sky turned around and lifted the coat off her face, revealing two puffy eyes, red from crying and a quivering lip. Her make up had been somewhat washed away because of the tears but to him she still looked beautiful.
"I'm going to help with the evacuation… since it's a small town it shouldn't take too long… after that, probably going to where Prometheus is." Sky replied.
"Why?" She asked, "That giant was massive, and scary… aren't you afraid you'll die?"
"I've… come to like this town…. The dwarves…. Bjorn… Vulcan." Sky said. "It's become something that I want to protect."
"While I am afraid… I'd much rather give up my life and try to defend this place then give this place up." Sky smiled.
Jennifer stared in awe. Sky turned around and ran out of the house, joining Kronos in the evacuation. As he left, Jennifer sat where he had placed her, clenching the coat in her hands. "Selfish idiot..." She muttered as she slowly got up and left the house, leaving the town along with the dwarves.

"Kronos!" Sky yelled as he approached the titan.
They were in the middle of the town, at the Community Forge. Sky watched as Kronos used his scythe to create paths to guide the dwarves as others yelled and shouted to herd the group.
"How many left before we're done?" He asked.
"A few more… these guys had prepared for something like this which made it easier but there are still a few that lag behind!" He yelled as he navigated some more dwarves.
BOOOM!!! The ground shook as another explosion went off in the distance.
"What do you need me to do?" Sky asked.
Kronos turned to him. "Run through the houses, make sure they're all empty, if someone is still there then quickly bring them here." Kronos ordered.
Sky nodded before running off. He ran through the town searching knocking down doors to every house, mostly finding them empty. The few that had dwarves in them were already making preparations to leave and did so quickly after Sky entered. After running around the entire town for a few minutes he returned back to Kronos to see that the group of evacuees had disappeared.
"It's done, now join them." Kronos said.
"What?" Sky yelled.
"I'm not making the same mistake I made with Zephyr, with you!" Kronos explained.
"That's not something you get to decide!" Sky shouted back, "It's my life, I decide what to do!"
Before Kronos could reply Sky started running to where Prometheus was. Kronos growled and followed close after. The two continued sprinting through the woods as Sky dodged Kronos' attempt to slow him down, it was something that came easy to him after running away from Leeds and Jennifer for a week. Eventually they made it to the other side, a giant black flatland of stone covered in craters and torn ground.
In the distance was Hephaestus blocking an attack of Striker as Prometheus knelt on the ground catching his breath and holding his side.
