The bright white light of the office hurt their eyes. Silas Kapito did not move. He stared at the girl in the dark green uniform. Anya smiled. Her silver metal mask shined in the light. She kept her glowing energy-sword pressed tightly against Lord Vako’s fat, sweaty throat. Vako was shaking. He looked terrified, but his eyes were darting around the room like a trapped rat. "General Krov said you were fast, Silas," Anya said smoothly. "But I got here first. I caught the Chief Treasurer.""Then why are you standing in the corner?" Silas asked. His voice was cold and flat. Silas looked at the center of the giant office. The heavy black oak desk sat in the middle of the room. On top of the desk was the clear glass box. Inside the box was the glowing blue computer drive—the Shadow Ledger. Anya’s smile faded. She looked down at the smooth wooden floor between her and the desk. "Because of the floor," Anya said. "It is a Sovereign-Gate. It is a Bio-Security Wall."Ren stepped forward f

Chapter 199
Silas climbed out. The five Awakened followed him up into the cool night air. They were standing in the center of a massive, beautiful courtyard. The grass was perfectly green. Tall statues of ancient heroes stood in the shadows. Right next to them was a giant, bubbling hot spring fountain. Just fifty yards away was Lord Vako’s mansion. It looked like a castle made of white marble and black glass. But it was heavily guarded. Four "Vanguard" security droids marched around the front doors. They were sleek, black robots holding heavy laser-cannons. Glowing red laser grids covered all the windows. "The Shadow Ledger is inside his private office on the second floor," Silas whispered, crouching in the shadows of the fountain. "How do we get past the droids?" Kael whispered back, gripping his heavy iron pipe. "They have thermal vision.""We do not fight them," Silas said. "We confuse them."Silas looked at Jax and Leo. The twins were fast and completely silent. "Jax, Leo. You two will

The deep sub-basement was cold, but the air felt heavy with the secret Ren had just heard. A woman was crying deep beneath the mud. The Mother Battery was real. But Silas knew they could not just start digging. "If we dig for the Mother now, we will be blind," Silas told the five Awakened. "General Krov will see us. The Citadel’s sensors will catch us. We need to turn off the eyes of the city before we go down into the dark."Silas pulled a small, stolen data-pad from his pocket. The blue light glowed on his marble-white face. He tapped the screen with his iron-grey finger. A map of the Citadel appeared. "We are going to Sector 9," Silas said. Kael’s eyes went wide. "Sector 9? General, that is the Bunker-District. The richest people in the Syndicate live there. The guards there do not use normal guns. They use heavy laser-cannons.""That is exactly why we are going," Silas said. He zoomed in on a large, beautiful mansion on the map. It was surrounded by a glowing red security fence

The dull luster of the oppressed was completely gone. The mineral-gel had cleared their eyes. Now, their eyes were bright, sharp, and fierce. They looked like young wolves. They looked like a pack of silent, hungry predators. "You are Awakened," Silas whispered. "I feel... perfect," Leo said, looking at his twin brother, Jax. Jax nodded, his sharp eyes shining in the dark. "Now that your bodies are awake, we begin the lesson," Silas said. He stood up. "I am going to teach you how to be ghosts. I will teach you two skills. 'Acoustic Shielding' and 'Sync-Breathing.'"Silas pointed to the concrete floor. "The Gilded students have heavy boots and loud armor," Silas explained. "They stomp. They make noise. Noise creates vibration, and vibration is a target. You must learn Acoustic Shielding."Silas demonstrated. He took a step. Even though he weighed five hundred pounds, his heavy boot made absolutely no sound. "Do not walk on your heels," Silas instructed. "Step on the outside edge of
Chapter 196
Deep below the ruined Ash-Lands, there was a place even the sun forgot. It was the sub-basement of the Purge Sector. Hundreds of years ago, this was a massive parking garage for heavy tanks. Now, it was just a giant, dark, empty cave made of cracked concrete. Water dripped from the ceiling. Plop. Plop. Plop. The air smelled like wet stone and old rust. In the center of the dark room, five young people sat in a circle. There was Ren, the brave boy who had stood by Silas from the beginning. There was Kael, the big, strong Hauler. There were Jax and Leo, the twin brothers who moved like shadows. And there was Mara, a fast, quiet girl with fierce eyes. They were Dregs. They had survived the terrible Drop Zone. They had survived the Chimera. They were covered in dirt, and they wore old, torn clothes. But they did not look scared anymore. They were waiting for their King. From the dark tunnel, a heavy sound echoed. CLACK. CLACK. CLACK. The five Dregs stood up. They stood completely
