Terry Moore's Echo

The Omega, another person bonded to part of the Beta suit has caught up to Julie. Decimating the bikers who were guarding she and Dillon, only her own fragments of the Beta suit serve to defend them against the Omega's attack. The power brought to bear turns the earth to glass, but Julie and Dillon are still standing to make an escape.

Ivy arrives too late to find them, but learns for the first time that someone else is commanding some of the Beta suit, and sees first-hand just what that means.
