The diamond formation sliced through the frozen air of the containment zone, each survivor moving with the grim precision of those who've accepted their odds of survival. Klaus maintained point position, Greed's unstable form sending ripples of darkness through the air with each movement. The sword's edges phased between solidity and shadow—present, but far from its true power.
Alexandra and Juron anchored the flanks, their enhanced combat awareness creating a protective net around the formation's perimeter. Leone secured the rear, veteran instincts perpetually scanning for pursuit. The four remaining survivors—Finn and Darius from Team 55, plus two of Leone's officers—filled the intermediate positions, maintaining the formation's integrity despite their mounting fatigue.
