''yes, just be careful we haven't seen Hardin yet,'' Milt remind us, they all ran left while I ran right. I then heard a BANG from the floor above me, he must be up there, I ran towards the principals office. The door was open, slowly I walked inside and then I walked towards the cells near the teachers lounge. I could hear silent cries, I walked in to the cell room and saw Christie tide to the roof with a gag in her mouth, she looked uninjured.

''Christie,'' she opened her eyes, I felt relief as I walked towards her cell. I then heard foot steps and turned around,

''hey it's just me,'' Hector said,

''keep watch I need to get her out,'' he nodded and watched the door. I found the keys on the floor and put them in the key hole, opening the cell, the door squeaked a bit. I grabbed her body and started to untie her from the roof, her wrists her slightly bruised. She then took the gag out of her mouth and hugged me,

''we need to get out off here,''

''Cody!'' Hector yelled then Mr.Hardin appeared,

''want to rumble,'' he smiled, he then started to walk towards us but using out guns we shot him a few steps back. But when we stopped her ran at Hector and hit him to the floor, I pushed Christie behind me. He grabbed me by the collar and threw me to the floor, dropping my gun. Hector was out and Christie didn't know what do to, Mr.Hardin began to wrap him hand around my throat and began to squeeze. Then I saw Christie grab my gun,

''your history Mr.Hardin,'' she said before shooting him in the head and continued to do it until he fell off of me and didn't move.

''you okay?'' she said as she dropped the gun beside me and helped me up,

''yeah I'm fine,'' I replied, I then started to wake up Hector, I slightly shook him. His eyes opened and he instantly began to panic,

''easy, easy Mr.Hardin's dead,'' after I said that he began to calm down.

''we better go,'' he said as he stood up grabbing the gun he had dropped,

''let's go through the principles office,'' I told them, Christie held on to my hand. We walked through the door, but last time I was here I didn't see the body behind the desk, Christie walked up to her father's desk and saw he body, with the throat ripped out.

''dad,'' was all she could say, I could see that she was hurting but she took a breath and began to walk out. Hector and I followed her, we all then began to run towards the science block as we heard footsteps behind us.

''it's such a shame Christie you could have been smart,'' Miss Connors yelled, then as she ripped her hand off revealing and flame thrower. She began to spit flames at us, we ran in to a science class, then I came up with an idea.

''guys turn on all the gas,'' we all ran to each desk turning on the gas,

''now hide,'' I hid under the teachers desk and Hector and Christie hid under the front desk. We heard the door open, I could hear her footsteps walking to the end of the class looking for us.

''right here you Mechanical bitch,'' I yelled and Hector and Christie ran out of the class, I followed behind them, She tried to set us of fire but ended up blowing up the class, fire filled the hallway as we ran.

''I guess I blew that class,'' Hector commented, as we turned a corner we bumped in to Milt.

''Bryles is behind me,'' he said, we then ran down the stairs I could hear Mr.Bryles running after us. We ended up at the front entrance,

''I have an idea,'' Milt said running off. We couldn't leave until Bryles was dead, Christie ran to one of the towers,

''why is Milt grabbing a school bus,'' I couldn't answer that, we wall stayed quiet after that Bryles stood near the entrance doors looking for us. I could hear a bus being driven towards the school, I the could see Milt driving a bus through the gates and aiming it at Bryles, Milt jumped out before the us hit the school making a loud explosion. There could be no way Bryles survive that,

''what about everyone else?'' Christie asked.

''we'll go check after we get Milt,'' I replied as we all walked towards where Milt had jumped off.

''hey man,'' he smiled,

''lets go see if anyone else is left,'' he nodded and we entered the school, I swear I could hear some running. We all began to walk towards the sound that took us towards the wood work room, the room was empty but I knew I heard something, the someone jumped out and grabbed Christie and held a gun to her head. The guy had pure white hair and these weird blue and white eyes,

''you a cop?'' Milt asked.

''No I'm Bob Forrest, department of Education and Defence,'' he simple.

''your the one who put those robots in our school,'' Hector spoke up,

''that's right, a billion dollar operation,''

''tough shit Bob,'' Milt smiled,

''you can use what's left of them for garbage cans,'' he added.

''everything was going fine, this would have been the future of education, to eliminate dirty little insects like you,'' Bob told us,

''it would have made me a lot of money but all I have now is that I'm an up-standing citizen and I'm not going to lose that to so that means none of you guys can survive,'' at that moment Milt ran at him with a knife but Bob shot him and then placed the gun back on Christie, Milt fell to the floor. I couldn't tell where he was hit, but he wasn't moving.

''that was foolish, very foolish,'' Bob giggled, then Mr.Bryles appeared behind him and snapped his neck his hold on Christie dropped and she ran towards me. Bryles then threw me in to the wall, I fell to the ground with groan. I felt dizzy and I could barely look straight, Hector was also thrown but he was thrown up to the second story of the woodwork room

''Cody,'' I heard Christie beg. I looked at where I heard her say it, she was pinned in to a corner with Bryles walking towards her. Getting off the floor, I saw two engine cairns, I grabbed one and ran towards Bryles and put it through a bar in his leg, he turned around to get me but I grabbed the other cairn hook and tied it around his neck. Christie ran behind me, I began to turn the cairn making the hook come back, Bryles was being stretched, from his neck and leg. I could see he was going to be ripped apart I left the cairn turning, Bryles head was ripped from his body and fell to the floor.

''did you have a nice stretch coach?'' I sighed, it's over they are all gone.

''Hector you alright man?'' I asked, I heard groans. He's okay, I then pulled Christie in to a hug, I didn't know what was going to happen, but I knew we wouldn't have school. But Christie's father was also dead,

''we need to leave,'' she told me, she was right the gauds will show up soon. Hector got down and walked towards us,

''where are we going to go?'' Hector asked, there was no one left from either of the gangs.

''to mine,'' Christie was still in my arms,

''our bikes better be okay,'' he commented and started to limp out of the school,

''what's going to happen now?'' Christie asked.

''you can come live with me guys, my mum will probably straighten up now that there is no more gangs selling Edge,'' I told them,

''well no one will come looking for me so I'm in,'' I remembered Christie saying her Mum was an orphan so it was only her and her dad who also was an orphan at her funeral. Hector's family kicked him out, but maybe together we cane start a new gang but a better one for everyone not just the rejects of society.

''I love you Cody,'' Christie told me as we hopped on to my bike,

''I love you too Christie,''
