Barry rushed to Michael’s side, breathing hard from the fight and from the realization that something was terribly wrong. “We’ll get her back.” He said firmly, gripping Michael’s shoulder. Then he turned sharply to the soldiers still gathering themselves. “Go after them. Now!”

A few soldiers immediately moved toward the gates, weapons ready.

“No.” Michael’s voice cut through the noise like a blade.

Barry blinked and looked at him. “No?”

Michael shook his head, forcing himself to think past

    Michael barely had time to react before the second explosion ripped through the remains of the faculty building. The ground shook violently, and debris rained down like burning hail. Barry felt the shockwave hit his back, but before it could knock them over, Michael had already grabbed him by the collar and dragged him further away. He didn’t stop there, he hauled the two unconscious guards with him, shielding them with his own body as flames burst outward behind them. They hit the pavement hard, rolling across gravel and ash. A blast of heat rushed over them, so intense it felt like standing in front of an open furnace. When the rumbling finally died down, what remained of the chemical technology faculty was nothing but collapsing beams and roaring fire. “Damn…” Barry cursed under his breath, staring at the inferno. He turned to Michael, who was still kneeling, breathing heavily. “Do you think he made it?” Michael shook his head slowly, eyes fixed on the burning wreckage. “I do

    Adrian helped Barry to his feet, steadying him when his knees almost gave out. “Alright.” Barry began, breathing through the pain in his ribs, “Even though part of you isn’t back yet, I’m still gonna bet on you.” Adrian tilted his head slightly, studying him like he was trying to understand why anyone would take that risk. Barry continued, his voice firm despite everything, “The plan is to keep you away from Killian. I’ll go to Michael and see how he’s doing, and you… I’m counting on you to end the crossfire. Max is out there, he’ll help.” Adrian nodded slowly. “As long as our guys don’t start shooting at me.” “We gave orders not to hurt you. You’re the commander, after all.” “Aww, I feel special.” “Shut up and move it. We’ll meet up after, go.” They split without another word. Adrian headed toward the eastern gate where flashes of gunfire still lit up the night, while Barry staggered toward the heavier sounds of destruction. The air was thick with smoke and dust, the ground

    Killian yanked the metal rods out of Michael’s body without hesitation and threw him to the floor violently, a satisfied smile on his face as blood splattered across the concrete. The pain was blinding, it swallowed Michael whole. His abilities flickered on and off like a dying lightbulb. The glow in his right eye dimmed and sparked unevenly. For a moment, he couldn’t feel his arms or legs, he couldn’t even lift his head. The world tilted sideways, sound fading into a dull hum as unconsciousness tried to pull him under. Killian approached slowly, “I honestly wanted to remain on your side, Michael.” His voice was almost thoughtful when he said this. “But there was no way I could achieve my goals playing foot soldier. That’s why I planned my own dismissal by inflicting this injury on myself.” He let out a soft laugh, “And when I read my own files, I was almost in tears at how convincing it looked. A brave soldier who gave his all even after losing his wife and daughter, but suffered

    Michael stood upright now, faint blue glowing behind his eyes, his breathing finally steady. Dust clung to his clothes and blood trailed faintly from the corner of his mouth, but his smile lingered like he had just solved a puzzle instead of being slammed into concrete. Killian’s glowing green eyes narrowed as they began to circle each other slowly. “Looks like you’re finally ready to give it your all…” He said calmly, though something cautious had entered his voice. “Of course.” Michael replied, rolling his shoulders once. “I no longer have a reason to hold back.” His smirk deepened. “Before you slammed me into the ground just now… I got a pretty good peek at your thoughts.” Killian’s brows knotted almost instantly. Michael tapped the side of his head. “You see, I can do that on command when I make contact with anyone.” He exhaled through his nose, almost impressed. “I have to admit, it’s a pretty good plan.” Killian’s jaw tightened slightly. “You gathered people who lost some

    Scofield Estate. It became quiet as a graveyard after Michael and the soldiers had moved out, but the tension inside Celia’s room made it feel as tight as any battlefield. Her mother stood near the window, arms crossed, watching the grounds below as if she could see the war from there. “You keep defending him.” She said without turning around. “Michael Scofield has pulled you into things you were never meant to touch.” Celia tightened her grip on the edge of her desk. “He didn’t pull me in, I chose to stand with him.” Her mother finally turned, eyes sharp. “And look where that choice has brought you. Injuries, disappearances, constant danger. Do you think this ends well for anyone who gets close to him?” Celia’s voice rose slightly. “He’s trying to end it. That’s the difference.” Her mother let out a short laugh, but there was no humor in it. “Every man at war says that in the beginning. Then the war changes them, and they don’t even notice it happening.” Celia shook her head

    The eastern gate erupted into chaos the moment Max gave the signal. “Move! Now!” He shouted as he led his unit forward. They rushed in under cover of darkness, boots hitting the ground in steady rhythm. Killian’s men were already waiting, and it didn’t take long for the first exchange of fire. Unlike standard weapons, Killian’s soldiers,who carried enhanced rifles that fired compressed energy rounds, fired at the sight of the soldiers. The shots didn’t just pierce targets, they hit like impact waves. One strike was enough to throw a grown man backward into concrete, another blast cracked metal barricades clean in half. Max ducked behind a broken maintenance vehicle as a beam tore through the air above him and melted part of the gate structure. “Damn it…” One of his men muttered. “Those things really are not normal guns.” “They’re not meant to be.” Max said calmly, peeking out from cover. “They’re designed to end fights fast. Don’t stay in the open.” Another blast hit the grou
