(Six's POV)

I gave Miles a boost up to the weird helmet. It turned out that the helmet fit comfortably on his head and held him tight.

"Is that helmet hurting you?" I asked.

"Not at all," Miles replied. "Now could you please get up from under my feet?" I cautiously backed up from him and he didn't seem to be in any pain.

He moved his legs around and in the distance, I saw him controlling people. Dead people.

"Holy shit!" I shouted in surprise. "Did that helmet give you powers of necromancy?"

"What?" Miles asked, quite confused.

"It's the ability to raise the dead," I replied.

"Interesting," Miles smiled. He then used his powers given by the helmet to free some of the dead people in the cages. He then controlled them to pull out some debris.  "That was pretty cool." Some wooden planks fell down, gaining us access into the next area.

"Help me pull the door up," I called. He came to me and we opened up the door. It was no longer raining and some rays of sunlight shone down. It was a little wet, but it was ok. After walking a few yards, we saw some brainwashed people lining up in a building.

"Oh no," Miles sighed. "That's where the truck was going."

"We need to get inside," I replied. "But how?"

"We'll climb the chain," Miles replied. He then grabbed on the chain and started climbing.

"You're a smart one," I smiled. I climbed the chain. I followed him into a room with a window blocking us.

"Ok," Miles said as he cracked his knuckles. "I'm gonna run into the glass and hopefully it will break." He got a running start and he busted through the window with shards flying all around him. "WOO! That was spectacular! It was only a few seconds, but that felt good!"

"You could've just opened the window right?" I blatantly asked.

"Oops," Miles chuckled. I climbed through and followed Miles in this really big room. I followed him up near some stacks of wood. "Hey Six."

"Yeah?" I asked. 

"Get on the stack of wood," Miles replied. "Once you get to the top, wait for me to tell you to push down the safe." I did exactly as he said and I waited for him. "Push the safe down!" I pushed the safe, but I didn't move. As I was falling, I would've died if not for Miles catching me in his arms. "You ok?"

"Sure," I replied as I got out from his arms. We dropped in the new hole we made and checked it out. We were under the building, specifically a subway. "What's in the vent?"

"Dunno," Miles replied. "Let's check it out." He came over and lifted the grate. We crawled in the vent and saw a somewhat big room. "See that orb? That's the electrical system?"

"Why is the electricity still on even though nobody sees to be using anything electric?" I wondered. I jogged at the orb and turned it off by pulling something cylindrical. "There. Much better." 

We came across another switch and the helmet that granted necromancy to whoever wore it. Miles used it to control 2 bodies who weren't in sync. So I closed the door to get the bodies together. Once we got them to be in sync, I moved them to 2 platforms and that caused the door next to us to open.

We advanced into another part of the subway and we went up a ladder that lead upwards from the subway.
