(Okay so, quick recap.  WIll and Kheiro (the big bad) are duking it out at Mount Hood, and Tim the rest of the Outsiders have gone to Abel (leader of the Cause (basically the cops)), telling him to rally the troups in a final battle for the city, as both the Brotherhood of Steel and the Hundred-Hands (Kheiro's soldiers) are staging an invasion of the city.  There is also a bomb under the city, in the Undercity, that could blow everything up, but the Outsiders will have to fight through the army to reach it.)

The air seemed to grow very still, and in that split second days, months, even years seemed to pass by, before Abel gave the word, and simultaneously the grenade above William's head exploded.

Abel touched his hand to his brow. "Christ... this is it, isn't it?" He looked across the room to the radio operator. "Sergeant!" He shouted, earning the man's attention. "Send out the call.  This is it.  The big one."

The radio operator turned back the machine with a stricken look.

"This is Causer Headquarters.  We are sending out a countywide alert to all allied forces--the city is emminent peril.  We are entering a Doomsday Scenario.  I repeat, this is a Doomsday Scenario.  All allied forces report in for immediate deployment."

"This is it." Abel said again, turning to Tim. "And I'm praying to whoever's watching that we don't screw it up."

The explosion rattling the house, blowing the doors off their hinges, and disintegrating the walls. The shocked wave shook his teeth in his mouth, and rattled his bones. Shattered windows screamed and then collected on the ground. The old, now destroyed building, groaned as it settled down on top of William's hiding place.

Miracluously, he has completely harmed. And some how, so was a nearby walkie-talkie.

"William?" Kheiro's robot voice drawled curiously. "Are you alive?"
