FRANK

Amidst the chaos, a decision crystallized in our minds. We couldn't continue this battle, not in our current state. Retreat was the only option, a bitter pill to swallow.

"Fall back!" Oliver's voice cut through the cacophony. "We can't win this fight tonight. We need to regroup, find a new strategy."

Reluctantly, we began our retreat, our steps heavy with fatigue. Guards pursued, their shouts of victory echoing in our ears. But determination burned in our hearts. We wouldn't be defeated. Not here. Not now.

Eleanor, her telekinetic shield flickering, glanced back. "We can't let this be the end," she said, her voice resolute. "We'll find another way. We have to."

Zoe, her force fields shimmering one last time, nodded. "They may have won tonight, but we're not done. We'll come back stronger, fiercer."

Frank, his flames extinguished for now, clenched his fists. "This isn't over. We'll rise from these ashes, stronger than before."

And so, we retreated into the night, our spirits unbroken despite the physical toll. The battle might have been lost, but the war was far from over. In the darkness, embers of hope flickered, promising a future where Beings could live without fear.
