(Third Person POV)

2:54 AM.

So early. They were all incredibly tired, but they took their collective share of deep breaths and readied themselves nonetheless. They watched as the shells of the viruses plummeted down from the skies, hit the ground and broke. They had reached Tier 20. Larger, more teeth, deadlier, some of them were now even airborne. Thankfully, the Resistance moved up with them. They were fully equipped and ready, but it was another factor that troubled them, and that was how many attacks went off per day. 3, pushing 4 attacks at separate places. 1 attack that lasted hours was already enough, but 3 barely gave them enough time to recover and bounce back. Separating the team among the sites could be disastrous. It was very likely that at least one group would fail like that, and _nala would win.

They couldn't risk losses.

The sites inhabited cheered as the tired heroes polished off the last virus. Second slightly nodded at them before turning back to the group.

"Come on, let's go."

"Sir!" Yellow exclaimed. "We need to change plans!"

"What? Why?"

"There are two attacks happening simultaneously right now!"

Second rested his head in one hand. "You can't be serious.. ok then." He looked up. "Which is the closest?"

As Yellow told him the location, he ushered everyone out. They had to run, and fast.

...

Once they were there, screams immediately hit their ears. The light of fire and the smell of smoke hit just as hard. Second barked out orders and everybody kicked off.

Yellow and Blue leaped onto the ground, finding many inhabitants injured and fighting for their own lives. Their faces seemed to light up as they saw the two bolting at them, dragging them away to safety. They cried out their thanks, but the two had no time to respond as Blue quickly splashed them with potions that would start to heal their wounds. Yellow turned a corner and saw a child in the jaws of one of the beasts that was Tier 20. He leaped up, grabbing a wire and wrapped it around the neck of the giant creature. He jerked it backwards, causing the monster to screech and drop the kid. With all his strength, he tilted the rope to the side, the creature screaming out and dropping to the floor, struggling. It knocked over portions of the site with its huge legs until it finally stopped and dropped unconscious. He only had a little time, but he rushed over to where the child was dropped and picked him up. He was struggling to breathe, but alive.

"BLUE!" Yellow shouted. "THERE'S MORE INJURED OVER HERE!"

Blue rounded the corner and ran over. "Where?!"

"Down the alleyways, but you should take him. Find his parents if they're alive."

Blue nodded and took the kid in his arms, rushing down the alley next to them. He scooped up multiple injured citizens over his shoulder and started to run back, rushing past the chaos and into the small hiding place that Blue had found for them. One by one, the people climbed off his shoulders, breathing heavily. Blue looked down at the kid that he was holding, then around to anyone that resembled him. He shook his head, just laying the unconscious child down in front of them.

"If anyone knows him, find his parents please."

...

Green and Red flung through the air, with Victim, DJ, and Second flying above them, pointing at locations of viruses and corrupted code. Structures crumbled and burned all around them, they leaped around and slashed through whatever they found.

"Why are there so many?!" Red tore through another.

"_nala is probably angry." Second lowered himself to speak. "Probably also the reason he isn't showing up.. on your left." He looked at Green. Green turned to his left and shot an enemy.

"These new viruses looked more advanced. I'd say he's reached Tier 20 by now, and mass produced them." Victim nudged Second.

Second would just look around at the destruction, the sky was starting to turn white. This was one of the many signs of a website that was unsalvageable. He saw it very little, but still he knew what it meant after almost getting deleted with a site himself.

"Change of plans! Stop going after the viruses, get on the ground and start evacuating anybody and everybody!"

They all nodded and started searching buildings and streets to find any inhabitants. Many shed tears, running by themselves or with their families to try and find safety. Once they were picked up and carried, they'd be guided to the exit. The ones in hiding were carried there by Yellow and Blue. They had no time to answer questions, they just had to leave, and now.

They swept the streets one more time before evacuating themselves and leaving the dying site.

Pulling up a hologram of the site, Yellow looked on as the screen bugged and froze for a second before turning pitch black. _nala's symbol faded into view.

'This site has been taken.

One week.'

The crowds of now homeless citizens murmured among themselves, not knowing what to do.

"I need all of you except DJ to go to the next site and start fighting, if the site even exists anymore."

Understanding, they set off. DJ floated next to Second."

"So what are we supposed to be doing?" DJ questioned.

"We're going to be leading these people to a safe space. A space that only we, the Resistance, knows about. A sanctuary, if you will."
