Sam's men charged into the cave, no tactics, just strength and weapons. The Pure had seen then running and were already teaming up in big groups to take down the attacking army. The army collided with them, taking them down as the badge into them. No guns were fired, no swords collided. Just fast running soldiers who sliced their daggers in the air, hoping to hit something. Sam rushed on forward into the mouth of the cave. The slope got steeper and steeper as they all rushed in, ins loaded and aimed to kill. They reached a gigantic room, full of the Pure and a bright, red light. The main Pure HQ. In the centre of the room was a gigantic golden statue of a man wielding a shield and sword. The statue was of Sabre, each Pure cave had a statue of Sabre, but none were as big as the one here. About 25 Pure members (not including the 10 priests and one anarchy) were sitting on the ground praying to the statue, muttering words in unison, words from another language or something. They were preparing for tonight, the night Sabre rises. No one noticed them enter, so Sam and his men just shot, not aiming. All of them bound to hit a target. Bullets flew but not for long as they got lodged in the back of their backs. The Pure all went down dying. Those who weren't hit, noticed the attack but continued to pray. The Anarchy got up, wielding its sword, swinging it around. All the soldiers knew what it was doing and parried. Missing every swing. One of the soldiers, Comarade Pete, climbed up a staircase and, when he thought he was high enough, jumped over the edge onto the Anarchy. As he landed he continuously shot his machine gun into its scalp. The creature went down dead and everyone stepped away. In the centre of the 'praying circle' was the final Beast Weapon, The Beast Gauntlet. Sam snuck between the Pure and grabbed it, but automatically all the Priest rushed him. "Shit!" He cursed and all his men continued fire, all the Priests went down and Sam grabbed the Gauntlet and ran. His men firing at the approaching Pure as they followed. They got out and ran back through the forest, back towards their Castle.
