Guards moved closer.
Tension filled the room.
"Last chance," the man said.
"Step away."
Meher didn't move.
Aarav stepped beside her.
"We're not leaving."
Reyaan whispered,
"I need 30 seconds."
Meher nodded slightly.
Elena stood firm in front.
"Enough," the man signaled.
Guards rushed forward.
Aarav reacted instantly.
Blocked one. Pushed another back.
Rishan pulled Meher aside.
"Focus on the system!"
Reyaan started typing fast.
"Almost in…" he muttered.
Meher reached the main console.
"Reyaan!" she called.
"Uploading breach," he replied.
The man's expression changed.
"Stop them!"
More guards entered.
Elena held one back.
"Go!" she shouted.
Meher's fingers moved.
Files opening.
Security breaking.
"Done!" Reyaan shouted.
Suddenly—
Screens flickered.
A red alert spread everywhere.
SYSTEM INSTABILITY
The man looked around.
"No…"
Data started leaking.
Live feeds breaking.
Control slipping.
Aarav grabbed Meher's hand.
"We need to move!"
But Meher didn't look away.
"This ends now," she said.
The system shook.
For the first time—
Level Three was breaking.
