I don't know what death is supposed to feel like, but I didn't feel dead. I woke up. How, I don't know, but it was hard to get up. Cuts, bruises, and aches coated my body. I saw the most-likely dead bodies of Sean, Hailey, Dallas, Elvin, Cam, Bob, Clarissa, and Raylen. I was most surprised to MacKenzie lying there. But, one by one, they woke up, including MacKenzie.

"Time's up." Elvin said.
"Ok, Ok, you got us." Clarissa said.
Dallas and Elvin took hold of them. We turned around and saw the ruins of the Aftershock... and most likely the Squad's reign.

The baby laughed.
Raylen leaned over to me and said, "The newest Rebel. He'll take our legacy and make it greater."
"Just hope he won't topple our empire!" I joked.
We laughed as we walked out of our room and turned off the lights.
This Journey Ends, But Another One Will Start Soon.
