"you're going to regret this Klaus " menaced Roy ,

" aww, don't be so mean Roy , I just destroyed all power plants , so there would be no electricity , all media centers , all military bases , major banks and airports ... now they are weak ... much weaker than us , they are so helpless without their technologies they can't attack us in anyway ... "

And to Roy's amazement , the timer on his phone was set again for 12 hours !

" w..what ?" he mumbled looking perplexed , but Klaus only continued laughing victoriously ,

"all there's left are just the skum we call civilians " he added at the end of his laugh .

" this isn't real .. no .. no this isn't happening ! " whispered Roy in quite a shock rubbing his scalp with his fingers , as he now realized what is the second timer for

"see ya " Klaus hung up ...

Roy was standing in the wake of mass destruction , the explosions and the massive fires brightened up the dark sky along with his pale dark face , what a disaster is happening , what a disaster he could've stopped .. he had the face of a ghost , his exhales were faster and deeper than his inhales as if his lungs are rejecting the damp smoky air , and he wondered once what would it feel like to be blamed for the end of the world .

A moment after , He glanced down ,as he was sitting on the ledge head between hands, to see a motorcycle on the main street at full speed heading down town , since the area was mostly deserted it was strange to see such thing so he ought to follow it , he sprinted back down and ordered Ed to follow him , the motorcycle was already out of sight but it wasn't hard to find it again in empty streets , they drove behind it keeping a decent space to leave them out of the doubt zone ,

After a while of driving , the bike stopped at the central building , the same building where Klaus committed suicide ,

" do you think we should follow him " asked ed as they sat in the car waiting two buildings away . " well .. it would be a waste of precious gas if we didn't " answered Roy getting out of the car

" he could be one of the Alphas ... "

" even better "

They walked the messy ghostly streets to the building , they looked up to see some girl with long hair fluttering with the wind standing at the edge , the same edge , Klaus stood on , they were soon to realize it was Sara .

Without any thinking they jumped sprinting to the elevators but they were not working , so they hurried up the stairs jumping three four steps at a time and trembling in a couple of steps other times , they reached up the roof and she was just about to jump when Roy grasped her shirt from behind and pulled her back at once falling into his arms and both to the ground , she was cold as ice and shivering , Ed helped her up but she kept falling as if her legs were powerless , he sat her on the ground with her back against against the wall and she started crying along with her panting , Ed shouted " what the hell is the matter with you moron !! why would you do this !? "

Roy stood up and dusted off his clothes

" it's .. it's the only way to survive ! " she sobbed , the thing that cought Roy's attention

" w..what do you mean ? " asked Ed leaning down his hands on his knees looking her in the eyes , she didn't reply

"what do you mean ,Sara look at me " he repeated while Roy put one foot to the ledge looking down ,

" Klaus ... Klaus told me that if I wanted to be safe and sound with him I shou... I should ... " she choked in her sobbing ,

" how curious .. " whispered Roy to himself as he was still leaning down the ledge
