Ruma and Deon quickly ran down the hall way. Ruma tried her best not to think about leaving Ratok. So her mind did worse, it supplied her with something else.

""Can you sign momma?" Ruma sat at the make shift table with one of her babies sitting in front of her.

The little boy with bright red hair and blue eyes was giggling and rolling around.

"Sign momma." Ruma pointed to herself "momma"

The little one looked back at her. Then signed back "Momma"

"Yes, yes. Momma. Good job, Mika"

The little one clapped with her. Briker came around. "Hey there little guy." He spoke.

There baby looked up at him. "Dada"

"Thats right. Im dada. Is that momma?" He asked pointing to Ruma. The baby shook his head no.

"No?"

He said no again, then signed momma.

Ruma and Briker let out a laugh.

That's when the first round went off.

Neither Ruma nor Briker had ever heard that noise before. It was loud, and hurt. It echoed through the Quadrant.

"Stay. Let me go look" Briker went to look out the window seeing everyone run in fear.

"Ru! Ru, hey pay attention to me." Deon snapped his fingers in front if her.

Her head wipped up.

"How do I open this?"

Ruma shook her head as she went up next to him. She took over the codes as she was back in her head for the moment.

"They are unlocked." She signed and went over to the door. Deon and her went to opened them quickly.

"That wasn't hard, I don't like it." Deon said.

Ruma shook her head. She didn't like it either.

They continued to the next door.

"What's happening?" Briker asked as he watched Orkan come up the back side of the tree.

"There are people here." He paused. "They are killing everyone,"

Ruma paused and grabbed Deon. She remembered that Vassenhilo was extra worried about things going wrong so they needed to take the long way around from here as the main hall was locked down.

She quickly explained.

He followed as they went around the long way.

They instead of needing to go through several doors she only needed to go through one.

Deon was quick to stay with her. They didn't speak as they could only think of getting to the generator quickly.

They got to the last door.

They quickly worked.

"There it's open." Deon said, pulling the door open. As Ruma stepped away from the plate it slammed shut in Deon. He moved his fingers back just in time.

"Shit!" He yelled.

Ruma rushed over to him grabbing his hands to look them over.

"I'm okay. I'm okay."

They looked back at the door.

"We are going to have to do that again." Deon said. Looking at the plate that Ruma was unknowingly stepping on. "I hate Vassenhilo. AS I assume only his dumbass would have done that."

Ruma nodded.

"I'll stand on it you go. You know how yo get the generator started."

Ruma was reluctant but nodded. Once she got the generators up and running than she could get one of the medic bots in Ratok.

Deon quickly stepped on the plate. Ruma pulled the door open. She looked over, Deon gave her a nod then she went inside the door closing behind her.

In the middle she saw the generator. She quickly moved towards it. Working quickly to get it up and running.

"Ruma!" She felt her body get pulled away as she watched her Maeger fall to the ground, as blood pooled around him.

The pain she felt in her chest was far worse than the pain. OF her ears.

Smoke arised. As the inside of the Quad was set a blazed to lur out the remaining survivors.

Briker wrapped his arms around her. Moving her away as she reached out. Towards Orkan as she watched his left breath fall from his chest.

Ruma froze as she heard steps than a loud ring filled the air. A large gaping piercing pain filled her lower back. As she dropped to the ground. She was able to look back as she caught herself to see someone crawling out from the darkness.

She cried and whimper and she pulled herself away. Another went off and into the back of her leg. She dropped shivering in pain. As her heartbeat paced.

Ruma stared at Brikers body. As part of his face was missing do to the shot he took. He body was quickly over taken by the flames as she was backed into the corner.

She looked down to her baby. He wasn't breathing. She held him tight to her chest. Expecting the end to take her too. When part of the quadrant wall opened up and she was grabbed and pulled through. She looked up to See Geildeto. Dragging her down an unknown corridor.

She escape death then by seconds. But as she realised that wouldn't be the case again. She felt her strength start to leave her. She knew she was dying.

There was one last leaver she had to get to. One last one. She slowly moved herself closer to the lever. Her fingers coated in her own blood reached up, she pulled her self up. And used her body weight to shove it down. The machine started up.

One last ring filled the air. As the gun raised and put a bullet through the base of her neck. Ruma flopped to the ground with no life left in her body.

"MOM! NO!" A voice screamed out filling the room.
