[GOODBYES]

Outside the building, Hades waited with the remaining Dark Students, Panotchi's men, and reinforcements from Blue's, Alexus's, and even the Thirteenth's people. Ang grupo nina Alexus ang nauna sa location. Ilang minuto lang ay dumating na rin ang reinforcements from different gangs and they immediately launched a coordinated assault, silently taking down every enemy stationed around the perimeter to clear the way for the rescue operation.

[Naitumba na namin ang lahat nang nasa labas, kahit ang mga snipers,] Alexus reported through the earpiece. [The area's clear. The rescuers can place the inflatable rescue airbags now. What's your status over there?]

"What do we do now, Kuya?" Tanong ni Deth kay Hades. Nasa tabi niya ang mga dark students na nagpaiwan para tumulong kay Deth.

Hades gave the signal to the rescue team. "Sir, you may proceed."

The rescuers immediately sprang into action.

"We will wait for my contact para malaman kung ilan sa tauhan ni Eagle ang nasa loob."

[Sixty-eight armed men. Every single one of them is carrying firearms. Make sure everyone entering the building is armed as well. Eagle and the Twelfth are on the rooftop. They're in the middle of a fierce fight.] The report came from one of Hades' drone operators, North. Five drones hovered around the building, allowing them to quickly map the enemies' numbers and positions.

Hinarap ni Hades ang dark students. "Guys, pwedeng hindi na kayo pumasok sa loob. Kaya na namin ang laban na 'to. You guys wait-"

"We didn't come here just to wait," Wolf cut him off. "Yeah, we've already graduated, so technically we're no longer Dark Students pero kaibigan namin si Deth. His fight is our fight."

"And if Lucifer and the others were in condition to move," Chaos added, "they'd be here fighting beside Deth because that's what our friends are for."

"Kailangan din namin maipaghiganti ang nangyari sa mga kaibigan at pamilya namin kaya hindi niyo lang ito laban," dagdag din ni Steven.

Hades looked at each of them before speaking. "Then let's make sure this is the last battle any of us will ever have to fight. This ends today, so all of us can finally live in peace."

Before anyone could reply, the fire alarm echoed throughout the building. Moments later, nagsilabasan lahat ng mga sibilyan sa building.

"That's our signal," Hades muttered. His contact inside the building had triggered the alarm bilang tanda na maaari na silang gumalaw.

"Mauuna kami pumasok bago kayo," sabi ni Hades. Sinenyasan niya ang mga kasa-kasama niyang tauhan mula sa mga kapatid ni Luna. They entered ahead while Deth and the others came right behind them.

The instant they stepped inside, the elevator doors slid open, may ilan pang galing sa hagdan. May ilan sa mga kasamahan ni Hades ang tumumba agad dahil sa nangyari pero may iilan din sa mga kalaban ang sinapit ang parehas na kapalaran.

Dumating sina Alexus at ilan sa mga tauhan nito. "Sige na, mauna na kayo sa taas. Susunod kami agad. Take the stairs and stay alert," sabi nito na agad naman sinunod nila. May iilan silang nakasalubong sa hagdan.

Hades, Knoxx, Chaos, and Leo ang nasa unahan. Hades, Eunice, Kian, Rance, and Steven formed the middle line, while Gabriel, Wolf, and Deth guarded the rear. The fighting on each floor didn't take long dahil kaunti lang ang kalaban na nasasalubong nila, mas marami kina Alexus na gumagamit ng elevator. Hindi na rin kasi hinahayaan ng grupo ni Alexus na dumaan ang mga ito sa hagdan upang mapabilis ang pagdating sa taas nina Hades. Ang pag-akyat sa fifty flights of stairs ay ang tunay na kalaban nina Hades at ng dark students.
