Meanwhile, at the temporary Echo company research facility, east of the academy, Zane, Voron, Raxo, and Core were all holed up inside. Zane had come to the research facility upon Core's request, though he never expected anything like this to happen.
The fighting was beginning to fiercen, as Zane was beginning to lose his patience, finally getting up and running outside.
"Hold on there, prince. Where do you think you're going?" Core stopped him before he left.
"I need to get to my sister and protect her! Why are we just holed up in here?!" Zane protested, his worry for his sibling, Emria included, evident on his face.
"Don't you see the battalion that's waiting for us outside? Why do you think they haven't just sunk this entire building down? They're waiting for us to exit so they can strike," Core explained, which made the green-haired prince bite his lip, trying his hardest to stay calm.
