After the fight the massive red dome still covered the entire city despite the destroyed constructs lying broken across the ground outside it. The barrier pulsed slowly, thick currents of energy moving across its surface in layered waves that made it feel less like a shield and more like a living thing guarding everything inside.
Knight rolled one of his shoulders and looked toward it. "So what now? I phase us in and we capture the city?"
I kept my eyes on the dome for a few seconds before shaking my head. "No," I said quietly. "I have another plan."
Knight frowned immediately. "Whenever you say that, something usually explodes."
"This time," I replied as I started walking forward, "it's bigger than that."
