Bellamy, Jasper, Monty, and Sage went out the door into the tunnels. They found Clarke and Octavia hadn't retreated.

Maya came out wearing a hazmat suit.

"Your girlfriend didn't make a deal to save you?" Clarke asked snarky.

"No." Sage said matching her snarkiness. "She was too busy saving the grounders. Don't worry. I will help you and be out of your hair."

The group had to go get Maya some more oxygen tanks. She was almost out. But every tank was on level 5, which had every solider in the mountain on that floor. It was a suicide mission.

Octavia and Maya went to deal with the oxygen problem and the others went to deal with the problem of Skaikru getting their bone marrow taken.

But before they could do that, they had to deal with the former president. He showed them to a control room. There they saw all their people. Including Sage's foster father, Aaron. "No, no, no." She muttered.

Bellamy grabbed a radio. "Tell them to stop. Now!" Bellamy ordered the former president.

"I won't do that." He said.

Clarke stole the radio and talked to a man who was in the mess hall, who then gave it to the president. Clarke killed the presidents father, then she made a threat to radiate level 5, where everyone was.

Monty started on working on way to fulfill that threat.

Monty got the way to radiate the level.

Clarke put her hand on the lever that would do the job. But it was clear, it would destroy her, if she pulled it.

Sage looked back at the screen and saw Aaron chained to the wall. She pushed Clarke away.

"What are you doing?" Clarke asked.

"Pulling the lever will destroy you." Sage told her. "I have nothing else to lose." She looked up at all the monitors. "Yu gonplei ste odon. (Your fight is over.)" She closed her eyes. "I am so sorry." She pulled the lever.

The outside air started to fill in the mountain. Every mountain men without the bone marrow slowly grew radiation burns and passed away.

Sage opened her eyes to watch some of the people who had helped them die. She didn't want that to happen. She just needed the ones trying to kill them gone. She especially didn't mean to hurt Maya.

Once Emerson, the guy who was gonna blow off the door, and was once a prisoner of at Arkadia, ran off, Sage rushed to the dorms. She saw Aaron getting uncuffed.

"Aaron!" She ran over to him.

"Sage." He put his hands on her cheek. "You really are alive."

"Your hands are cold." She chuckled.

"That's the Sage I remember." He hugged her.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to kill her. She was pounding on the twins, then threatened me with a knife. It was self defense." She explained.

"Sage, I knew my wife was the way she was. Somehow I let my love for her blind me for what she was doing to the twins." He said. "Once she was gone, I felt relieved. I still loved her. But she never would have changed." He rapped his arms around her again.
