Before I could say anything, a pair of shots rang out. Paul and Brett had returned. It was a wrap for 12-002 now. "Fine. I'll take one of you out at least." he said. The man that had become my friend groaned and then screamed. I saw as his guts shot out of his body towards me. Mason died instantly. I could not do much for him. That made me upset. I shot him with spikes of light. He was able to dodge it. "They did tell me about the so-called magic. You can't catch me with those." he said. So, he was aware of magic. He probably just did not believe it until now. "Can someone tell me what is going on!?" Brett asked. I shrugged. "These assholes from the new Magnetic Clan are on the same bullshit as before. They hate humans being in PEP clans. So much so that they have declared war on Heat Clan." They shared a look. "That's not so good." Paul commented. 12-002 took the moment of distraction to raise his hands. He had it so that we all moved the nearest metal surface. The floor was simply a nice tile pattern in the hall. I was yanked to the hallway. Paul and Bret went to the X-frame pods.
Using that, 12-002 ran towards the elevator. His body was made of nanites. He was able to liquify and slip through the doors. We were released from the influence of his organ as he left the room. We rushed over to the secret elevator. We called for it, but it did not come. "Fuck! It's disabled." Paul said as he looked at Brett and me. "How are we going to get out?" Brett asked. I thought about it. It took me a moment, but I got an idea. "The archwings hanger leads somewhere. Brett can fly us out." They decided to try. We rushed out and ran to the launcher. It was then that I remembered the alarm and the PEA units. We needed to take the detour. Most of them were very unsettled. We calmed them down the best that we could. Looking at Keith's kid, I got another idea. Pulling out my phone, I called Keith. I got him on the phone and he was annoyed. "Why are you calling me!? you know that I'm coming in an hour." I said "We don't have time for the bullshit!" I snapped before explaining the situation. "I'll send some members over to check it out." he said before hanging up. I then called up Niko.
Getting him to send other members of his clan to university was easy. He asked if I wanted Chase to come my way to help us out. "Sure. We have all the PEA units down here too. Someone needs to look after them until we get back. This is a full-on war with the Magnetic Clan." He hung up on me after promising to send Chase to us. The half AEP would be good at defending the others. Since someone had to wait, I told Brett and Paul to go ahead. It did not take too long to convince them. "We'll save you a few kills." Paul said with a smile on his face. "Yeah, don't worry about it." Brett added as they left. I turned back to the PEA units and continued to soothe them. Chase got there about an hour later. He was able to scale down the walls of the shaft for the archwing hangar. He took over for me and I summoned an angel to fly me out of there. It was another high level spell. The angel allowed me to not only get out of the clan building, but he let me hitch a ride to the campus. Once I touched grass in their quad, I said that he was free to go. He could hear all the gunshots and people screaming.
