Hours melded into an unending night, our powers blurring the lines between reality and nightmare. Guards continued to pour in, their desperation evident. But within our exhaustion, a glimmer of hope remained. We could endure. We had to.

Katie's lightning, once a torrent, flickered with fatigue. "I can't keep this up much longer," she gasped, her energy waning. Dakota, his blood barriers faltering, gritted his teeth, determination etched in his eyes.

Eleanor's telekinetic control wavered, the strain evident on her face. "We need a plan," she said, her voice carrying the weight of our shared weariness. Blake's movements, once swift, became sluggish. "I can't keep using my speed. I need a break."

Zoe's force fields shimmered, but even her formidable ability showed signs of strain. "We can't hold them off forever," she said, her frustration palpable. Frank, his flames flickering, tried to summon one last burst of energy. "We need to retreat. Find another way."

A collective weariness settled over us, a heaviness that mirrored the weight of our situation. Guards closed in, their numbers overwhelming. The battle had reached its breaking point, our exhaustion threatening to consume us.
