The battle with Drake had left the Reclaimer base in a state of both triumph and disarray. The immediate threat was over, but the clean-up would take time. Leo and his team were among the last to leave the base, ensuring that every bit of evidence that could lead to further threats was secured.
Cassandra gathered everyone in the main hall for a debriefing. The mood was a mix of relief and exhaustion. Reclaimers exchanged stories of the battle, while some tended to the wounded. Evelyn was hard at work healing those who had sustained injuries, her energy reserves nearly depleted.
"Excellent work, everyone," Cassandra said, addressing the crowd. "We stopped Drake's plans, and thanks to your efforts, the world is a safer place."
Leo stood with Sofia, Owen, and Evelyn, his closest friends and allies throughout this journey. He knew that they had made a significant impact, but the question remained: what came next?
