The moment Aren walked out of the gate, he realized he was back at the very gate that he had entered through the first time. The others stepped out behind him as well.
"Whoa, it's been quite a while since we came back here," Aiden said.
"Yeah, no time to look around," Zero said and pointed. A few guards had come out and were now looking at them.
"Shit, they moved faster than I expected," Aren said.
"Hey, who the hell are you?" one guard barked in anger. They all pulled out rifles and pointed them at Aren.
"Overreact much?" Zero asked. She frowned and stepped forward.
"Stop right there and identify yourself," the guard barked. More and more guards had now come and surrounded them, their guns ready to blaze.
"Sorry, but no, we have to leave," Zero said.
"Open fire, keep them here until we get some awakened here to handle this," the guard yelled, and they immediately opened fire. Bullets tore through the air fast.
