Forged Destiny [Book 9: Ch. 15]

"The west wall! The west wall is down!"

The screams echoed through the tolling of the bells as I pushed through the mass of Labour Caste filling the streets. The Guild, along with almost every student in Beacon, fought alongside me, all of us struggling against the sheer mass of people.

"Stay calm!" Alchemist Oobleck bellowed. "Stay calm and make way. Clear the streets!"

It was no use. Someone crashed into and cut him off, while bodies hemmed in on me from every direction. I could have forced them back with my Strength, but they'd be thrown to the floor and crushed. The momentary hesitation cost me, and I toppled back, caught by Ren who propped me up against the horde.
