More Harpies were attacking them. Her brother was off trying to get Nancy and Jason out of the grips of other ones. There were so many enemies. It was overwhelming. Then rockets were going off, and she didn't know what it meant. Andy could guess though. They needed to get back to the Argo III. 

She held out her hand, blood dripping from her cuts. Electricity flashed around her. Hitting several of the Harpies. Clearing the way for them to get back to the ship. [color=b71d5d]"Back to the ship Gryf!"[/color] They were being overwhelmed. She wondered if the rockets were declaring retreat. Gryf turned and got them back to the Argo III.

Em returned Waverly's hug. [color=2B9311]"No way I'm letting two Probatio fight a Giant alone."[/color] Emily herself was only a Legionnaire, which was by design. She had never wanted to raise in ranks any higher. This was the station she was happy at. 

Marco's face appeared. It was one of those Iris messages that the Greeks used since she had his compact. [color=2B9311]"I'm okay Marco. Evacuate. I'm not in the sewers anymore. Ariadne appeared. We've got a task here to deal with."[/color] She couldn't say the words that she had stepped into the Labyrinth. But she knew that Marco would understand. [color=2B9311]"I've got the compact. I'll contact you as soon as I can. I love you."[/color]

She didn't want it to sound like a final goodbye but it felt like it was. Em was thankful she had kissed him before he had ridden the Dragon-Demi off to the battle. Thankful he was okay and still alive. 

[color=2B9311]"New Rome has fallen."[/color] She said to the others. [color=2B9311]"Let us complete the task before us in defiance of what has destroyed our home."[/color] She was angry. Her home for the last five years was gone. She was supposed to be able to leave here and go about her life, not carry the burden that so many had died. [color=2B9311]"Lead the way Ariadne."[/color]

They were being overwhelmed. New Rome could not stand against this. Niah's chest tightened. The rockets went off. Signaling the retreat. The battle had been lost. Did Mads still have the cyrstal? Had they been able to protect Terminus? Would he retreat? So many questions. 

[color=0080ff]"We have to cover the retreat. We've lost."[/color] Niah said. Her voice cracking. The right decision had been made though. The retreat was the only option. Hopefully, the important things were still safe. Maybe someday they could come back here and rebuild. Maybe. Niah started to lay down covering fire for the retreating soldiers.
