Kate's eyes were wide open. She was scared. But she was also filled with happiness. "Owl" Raven whispered. The rest of the rebellion looked in awe as this entity materialized out of thin air. Has the Owl returned from the dead? They were terrified.

Alvin was shocked."You should ...be dead.." he muttered. "YOU SHOULD BE DEA" one of Alvin's satellites that helped control the drones came crashing down a few meters behind him. Then a broken automated tank. Then the propeller from an automated warship from Batanes. Alvin cowered in the middle of all the steel and debri from everything he owned.

As Alvin stared into the blank dead eyes of the Owl, the sounds of all the fire and explosions behind him started tuning out. As if the volume was being turned down. Alvin thought he was dying. Blood slowly trickled out his ears.

Alvin fell to his knees. "Wag!" Yelled Kate, thinking The Owl was going to take a life. Right before he completely lost his hearing, Alvin ran back down the underground base.

As the fires raged, the rebels walked towards Kate and the Owl. "He wasn't going to die." a familiar voice came from the Owl's new helmet. He then turned to face Kate and said, "I would never do that." Kate smiled as her tears fell.

The Owl lifted Kate up and hugged her tight.

Kate and the Rebels went and freed the Vice President, the other prisoners as well as Raven's father Mr. Wolf. Raven was so happy. Her father was partly surprised because of how much her daughter Eleanor was smiling again.

"anu tong suot mo, bat ka naka pormal?" Mr. Wolf asked her daughter. "Yeah I'll explain pag uwi. Yung cake mo na panis na." Raven replied. She saw Kate and went to her.

"Boss, what's next?" she asked Kate. "Okay na, let's help these people get to safety." Kate said. "and Owl?" Raven asked. Kate smiled and looked at her. "Sha na bahala kay Alvin. Our job is to save these people, and complete the vaccine with my blood." All the other rebels heard Kate and yelled in agreement. Everyone was inspired once again. With the risen Owl on their side, there's a new hope for freedom.

Alvin was panicking in his bunker. No electronic device was working. "EMP? it must be. Pero how? Wala naman shang dalang weaponry?" Alvin was mumbling to himself distraught and confused.

"You're a genius, keep thinking" a voice from the darkness spoke. Alvin ran scared towards one of his devices and started trying to activate it, a suit of mechanized armor. "gusto mo ng laban ha.. sige wait lang" Alvin said as he got lucky trying to activate his giant robot suit.

"Let's see it work." The Owl said. The bulky giant suit swung a fist but missed. The machine was indeed strong. Everything it hits accidentally gets crushed. Getting tired of close quarters combat, Alvin switched to long range attacks.

Energy beams were indeed powerful. But it seemed to flow away from The Owl. The magnetic field around The Owl was so strong, it bent light and beams of energy.
