"Prove it." Dr.Benzedrine demanded.

"Request denied." Aria responded.

His gaze went dark. "Why is that so."

"I will tell you later. Once they're all gone." She said turning lethally towards her former companions.

Aria set off sprinted at Blood Moon and snatched a sword from Asher on her path. Asher was smiling, pleased by Aria's sudden change of perspective. But, right as it seemed that she would impale Blood fatally, she made an unexpected twist towards Asher and knocked his sword from his hand. He responded quickly and was able to remove his sword from Aria's grasp also. He jumped and landed atop her, but she used her strength to push him off. She placed a punch square on his face that rendered Asher unconscious.

Dr. Benzedrine yelled, "Azaria Mavis Benzedrine, you must stop this at once! As your father, I demand this of you!"

Aria strutted right up to his face and stated, "Perhaps biologically, but never anything other than business." And the doctor fell down the same way Asher had.

The Reinforcers were now pacing like blind puppies. Some tried to escape the gymnasium, but Aria stopped them. "Halt. Reinforcers take place orderly to the left." They accepted easily and soon they were lined up in an array. "Storm, walk to the opposite side of the room." Bug and Sol stood nervously in between both groups. Aria sighed, "Make your choice now and make it final." They both jogged towards The Storm and tried to avoid Blood Moon's judging glare.

Aria continued, directing her words at the Reinforcers. "Backs to me." They all turned to face the opposite wall in sync. "March out the door and take positions in the cells." The group all did as told in an army-like fashion. "Marshall." She called out. One man in a more decorated uniform stood out from the Reinforcers. "Keys." She demanded. He stalked up to her and handed Aria the keys with his head down in a crouch. "And take four men to deliver Asher and the Doctor to their rooms." Marshall called out to exactly four men and the mentioned men aided each other in transporting their leader and his son. Aria walked before them with her head held high. But, before she could exit the room Marshall attempted to hand her a ponytail holder and a hat; her former uniform. Aria declined the offer saying, "No, America has changed. This is no longer a man's world."


While passing The Storm, Aria motioned for Blood Moon to walk next to her. He took the offer and told the other rebels to follow them. They made their descent through the hallway behind the Reinforcers who led them. Every rebel, aside from Bug and Sol, held their weapons at the ready. Eventually, they reached their destination at a large, metal, rusted door with multiple, large locks. Aria took out the keys Marshall had given her to unlock every one, when The New Kid spoke out. "Wait. Wait!" He jogged up to her and asked her why she wanted to enter. To which she responded, "I'm simply helping my people." With a smile.
