While most of the group goes to free more prisoners, Mare, Cal, and Cameron infiltrate the command center, taking down Silvers until they reveal where Julian is. Cal starts to leave, but Cameron doesn’t follow, busy exacting revenge on the Silver guards. As Mare watches, she feels her desire for vengeance growing, and she joins Cameron, saying, “Lightning has no mercy” (376). After, Mare and Cameron join Cal, taking out more Silvers along the way. They find Julian at the bottom of a cell block and free him, letting him use his power to make a metal controller and build the staircases and catwalks so the group can escape.

With Silvers and newbloods fighting together, Mare’s group continues their rampage through the prison. In one cell block, an enemy Silver manipulates light, making the room difficult to see, and Mare runs straight into the queen. As Mare feels herself being controlled, she slips into a cell of Silent Stone, cutting off the queen’s ability. The queen aims a gun at Mare, but Shade smacks her away, pulling Mare out of the cell and teleporting her away. With Cal, Kilorn, and Julian on her heels, Mare sprints for the prison entrance, battling enemy Silvers the entire way.
