I'm sure you've all forgotten about the meeting the characters part, so I'm gonna do a sequel!

Audrey: And may we welcome the almighty sorcerer... RICHARD!

Me: Hello, hello, readers! Welcome to another -

Ally: What... what is happening...

Me: Anyway, welcome to another thrilling -

Ally: Wait you! You sent me back to the stupid flower queen again a few days before!

Me: Stop cutting me off! *types: ally is muted*

Ally: mmmmmmph! hmmmmmmmph!

*Audrey be like: STARE IN SHOCK*

Me: Readers, welcome to another thrilling chapter! Enjoy!

------------------------------

That night I contact Ally via secret high-tech transmitter-I-slipped-in-his-ear.

"Ally, where are you now?"

"What? Audrey?" Ally's voice comes from the other end.

"I slipped a transmitter into your ear. Now where are you?"

"Stop that! It's creepy. Is Christoph infecting you somehow? And where do you think I am? I'm in my room of course. It's way after curfew."

"Okay, good. Drop the act. You were speaking under duress when you came into where I was contained, right? The school has been taken over by the Emergent."

"What? Of course not. Everything is perfectly normal."

"Really? You're not speaking under duress now?"

"Of course not, I'm in my room right now. There's nobody around. They don't bug our rooms."

I'm still not quite convinced. Then again, everything does make sense. I have no proof that the Emergent has taken over the school. Although if the dean really locked me up just because I would jeopardize the mission otherwise, I'm a bit hurt.

"Hello?" Ally asks.

"Was just thinking. You're right. The school does seem normal."

"Yeah, and I'm dismantling this stupid transmitter. So creepy."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

His voice cuts off and is replaced with static, probably him dismantling the transmitter thingy.

I turn off the lights and fall asleep immediately. I need a nice rest after everything that happened today.

It was time. They encrypted all the information once again, destroyed all the important files and set out again.

The Intiative Stage 3 was easy. Attack the army and destroy the annoying barrier surrounding Houston. Stage 4 was even easier. Move some men to the nearby small city of Aldine.
