Alcatraz felt overwhelmed, and was soon after captured by another Librarian strike team. They destroyed almost all his lenses, and almost killed him when Grandpa Smedry and the Knights of Crystallia arrived. Alcatraz avoided death by using a teddy bear grenade, which defeated his enemies but also vaporized his clothes.{{book ref|a4|???}}
Alcatraz was picked up by Draulin, but Alcatraz commandeered their escape vehicle and rescued the unconscious Bastille. After they were shot down, Alcatraz felt frustrated. His Breaking Talent felt foreign inside him, partially out of his control. He unleashed it through his Bestower’s Lens and into Bastille’s Fleshtone. An enormous burst of power leaves him, going through the Lens and into the Fleshtone. Alcatraz was completely exhausted and fell unconscious.{{book ref|a4|∞}} Afterward, Alcatraz discovered that he broke all of the Librarian weapons when he temporarily bestowed the Breaking Talent to every Knight. The Librarians were defeated and Alcatraz became a national hero. Alcatraz learned that he also broke the Smedry Talents, and now none of them would work, including his own. Alcatraz met with his mother, who said Attica would be going to the Highbrary in Washington D.C., to learn how to give the Smedry Talents to everyone. Alcatraz reluctantly agreed to work with his mother to stop Attica.{{book ref|a4|∞ + 1}}
=== The Highbrary Infiltration ===

|I’m going to the Highbrary. You worry I’ve started something dangerous. I’m not starting it. I’m finishing it. The Librarians have terrorized us for far too long. I intend to make sure that '''they''' are the ones who are frightened. That '''they''' are the ones, who once, who have to worry about what they’re going to lose… I know something the Librarians don’t. The end is here. You can’t stop this war from progressing. So its time for you to stand up, stop whining, help, or get out of my way.
|Alcatraz’s speech to the Council of Kings{{book ref|a5|Doug}}
}}
While on a call with the leaders of the Free Kingdom’s monarchs, Alcatraz powered the Communicator’s glass, giving a speech about how he’s going to the Librarian Highbrary to stop them, and that he knows something the librarians don’t. Unbenkownst to him, he actually broadcast his speech through every single piece of glass in the world.{{book ref|a5|Doug}} After the Librarians started launching misiles at Tuki Tuki, Alcatraz and the other Smedrys decided to charge into the Highbrary as soon as possible, guns blazing. They stole another glass flying vehicle, the [[Penguinator]], bringing Alcatraz’s mother with them.{{book ref|a5|Norton}} Draulin also comes with them, discovering a librarian listening device on board and destroying it. On the way to the Hushlands, they also picked up [[Dif]], a Smedry cousin whose Talent was apparently everyone forgetting about him using his Talent. Alcatraz started dressing in tuxedos like his grandfather, wanting to fit in better as a Smedry.{{book ref|a5|Lilliana}} They approached the Highbrary, Librarian fighter jets trying to stop them. Alcatraz used his new Shamefiller’s Lens to destroy one of them.{{book ref|a5|Deckard}}
They jumped out of the plane, Dif making a mistake and messing up the jump. They were seen by Librarians and had to run for the Highbrary. Without their Talents, Alcatraz and the others were being overwhelmed, but Himalaya and Folsom arrived and helped save them, along with several Librarians that they convinced to be good. Himalaya’s force agreed to act as a distraction to let the others slip into the Highbrary.{{Book ref|a5|Frog}} During the fighting, a hole got blown in the street, and Alcatraz and the others used it to slip down into the Highbrary, which is mostly underground. They split up, trying to find Attica by finding the Forgotten Language texts. Alcatraz, Shasta, and Dif go in one group.{{book ref|a5|Marco}} After defeating a group of Alivened, Alcatraz, Shasta, and Dif were conscripted by a Dark Oculator to fight a monster with a group of other young Librarians. Alcatraz pretended to be another Dark Oculator on an errand for the Scrivener, but the Librarian just sends him to go down a tunnel and discover whatever monster is causing a lot of fearsome noise.{{book ref|A5|13}} Dif joined Alcatraz, and while crossing a bridge, Dif fumbles into Alcatraz, knocking his Truthfinder’s Lens into a deep pit, where it was destroyed by fans below. They continued on, Alcatraz trying to forgive Dif despite his anger.{{book ref|a5|Shu Wei}}

}}
They found a group of dinosaurs that he had met before, including one who had bitten his lip and caused a ruckus.{{book ref|a5|Shu Wei}} After the dinosaurs faked the sounds of a battle, Alcatraz returned to the other librarians, saying that he had slain the beast. When the large fans below them started going faster, Alcatraz’s hood came up and the other Librarians screamed and ran away. Using an authenticator that Shasta stole from the Dark Oculator, they gained access to a medical storage room, and steal a vial of the antidote to the Librarian-induced coma that Alcatraz’s friends are in. From calling the others, Alcatraz found that Grandpa Smedry was causing general chaos to distract the Librarians, and Himalaya and Folsom were pinned down.{{book ref|a5|17}}
They found Attica, who was disguised as a Curator of Alexandria, and who had discovered many of the Incarna secrets. Alcatraz deduced that the INcarna had created the Smedry line to carry their power, but it got out of control. Attica was determined to travel to the Worldspire to give everyone talents, and didn’t listen to Alcatraz.{{book ref|a5|8}}
=== The Catastrophe ===
{{quote
|Stand down Attica. Unless you want to be childless as well as fatherless.

}}
Grandpa Smedry, Draulin, and Dif arrived, and Dif promptly shot Grandpa Smedry in the head.{{book ref|a5|18}} More Librarians attacked in an ambush, knocking Draulin into a coma. Dif, revealed to be Biblioden, shot Attila’s lenses with his gun, and threatened Alcatraz with the gun to make Attica stand down. Alcatraz briefly escaped, sneakily dropping the vial of coma antidote down into the Highbrary’s ventilation fans. Biblioden announced his intention to sacrifice one of the Smedrys to make a powerful bloodforged Lens.{{book ref|a5|19}}

Biblioden tied them to an alter made of outdated encyclopedias, saying that only one of them needed to be sacrificed. He said one could go free if one agreed to be sacrificed willingly. Bastille, awakened by Alcatraz’s antidote, arrived and started fighting her way through Librrarians up to the altar. Biblioden demanded that they make their choice. Alcatraz yelled for him to kill his father, while at the same time Attica volunteered to die.{{book ref|a5|20}} Biblioden then killed Attica, brutally sacrificing him to make the bloodforged lens. Draulin, Kaz, and Bastille arrived, but Biblioden and his soldiers were picked up by a ship and escaped. Biblioden had arranged for the Highbrary to blow up, killing all witnesses.{{book ref|a5|21}} Alcatraz and the others escaped, the giant explosion necessitating a huge cover-up on the Librarians’ part. Alcatraz felt torn up inside about his cowardice, but still wrote his biographies, feeling that the truth needed to be revealed to the world.{{book ref|a5|afterword}}
=== Aftermath ===
Alcatraz refused to write any more, despite Bastille’s numerous attempts for months to get him to. At some point, it is likely that he married Bastille, as Bastille signed her letter at the end of Alcatraz’s last biography as Bastille Smedry.{{book ref|a5|Bastille’s Letter}}
