Description
Bishop hides Michael in the forest and tells him to stay, while he fights off the Chronomancer’s troops in the refugee camp. Bishop joins the battle with Nom, Jinx and Scorch, the latter revealing to Bishop that the Chronotroopers came looking for him. Jinx falls down a slope and finds herself by a mass grave, filled with the burning remains of the camp’s residents. Nearby in a tent, Link tells the Witness that they must go, but the man cryptically tells her that he is not escaping this time. He tells Link to tell the survivors to go to Dunduine and tells her not to worry about the leadership, which will work itself out. A Chronotrooper attacks the two and Link escapes, while the Witness charges up the attacker with kinetic energy and both are obliterated. Michael is attacked by two Chronotroopers, but Bishop saves him, though he is disheartened after discovering the bloody body of Merrian. The battle ends with few survivors: Michael, Bishop, Nom, Scorch, Jinx and Link. Bishop tells Michael that they will work on a plan to go home immediately, but Michael convinces the despondent Bishop that these people did not die at his hands and he cannot blame himself. What he can do is find whoever is responsible. Bishop agrees and, upon hearing where the Witness wanted them to go, he rallies the survivors and wipes away their M’s and, instead, replaces them with X’s. Meanwhile, Bantam voices his concerns to Fitzroy, who dismisses him and claims that he is not mad. Bantam is not so sure, though, as Fitzroy kills five children prisoners, after convincing them that they are playing a game.
