Before We March

Chapter 35: RECKONING

"JORDAN!"

A loud call visits her head with the feeling of being bothered. Her head moves from left to right as she mumbles his name. Being on the verge of life and death makes your thoughts vulnerable.

Every night she dreams of him peacefully until the nightmares started visiting her mind thinking about the turmoil and nuisance the mission brings. Hope seems to slowly subside on the chance of seeing him before her eyes fasten.

"Please go home".

A vulnerable Michigan wishes upon the ceiling of clouds trying to fight on cancer that slowly crawls upon her in pain inside.

His hands finally lose grip as he plummets in the sky. His visions started to kick in with the flashbacks of his beautiful tragic past. A particle of tear started to slide down slowly to his cheek thinking he might died like Hobs,  he wasn't ready to perish.

Two lovers on different directions trying to  withstand casualty.

The ocean of the crowd continues to rise together with the scream of fear to Jordan's possible passing until a grab like lightning approaches to catch him before his vanish. His eyes slowly open with disbelief as he regains a breather for a close call. Tilting his head makes him see the light.

The light of friendship.

It was Riley who pulled him up to her father's chopper who is currently driving it. Truly in times of battles, a true friend will still try to make their way and help you accomplish the war even though the brawl between you is still on fire.

"As much as I hate seeing your cold blood side, you are still my best buddy and I love you," Riley stated.

He was truly grateful that his friend was there at the right moment he almost blew the plan away. He was a coward for his thoughts and fears confessing these voices inside his head lately that tries to make him do these awful things.

Riley holds his hand as he put his forehead to his telling him that he had the control and that they have his back and that's what makes him bigger.

"I hate to cut the drama boys , I am truly happy you got to fix it , I am but our enemy is missing out".

Mr. Obama chases Dylan's avial ride while Jordan waits for the right time to attack him. Riley opens the bag of weapons but only gave him the armor vest for he believes that he could defeat him with integrity. 

He wanted to be clean-handed as possible but also knew the certainty that he is not good at defending himself so he tried reaching for something lighter.

Riley tries to search for his request and saw one possible weapon that could solidify it somehow.

a Taser Gun.

Jordan seems to be skeptical about it but he grabs that opportunity instead of battling empty-handed. He ventures for an opening as soon as he saw Dylan , giving him one of those crazy german suplex he used to watch with his father when he was a kid outside the chopper landing them both in a near construction building site.

Dylan was badly hurt that he barely can't go for a slouch. The two fight with the world watching. Trying to play with innocence and redemption.

But the president got plenty of backups that immediately headed toward them. Trying to fight for his life again he runs down the building getting chased with soldiers armed.

As he aims for a quick run he trips to a stone nearby. One of the soldier clicks for a shot until he gets it first with Mr Obama raining them with the chopper's mini machine gun below. He was truly extraordinary.

It was a chance for the president to flee and head towards the Tank nearby. Ordering it to shoot the chopper the Obama's are riding. A big shot explodes to the Chopper's tail.

"NO!" Jordan shouted with his whole lungs.

People were shocked about the sudden explosion. Some are already getting traumatized by the happenings.

The president was already inside the tank as soon Jordan received a safe confirmation from Vivoree.  Telling him not to worry because they got the Obama's on time.

He rans with madness as he fought the remaining soldiers chasing him. The gang suddenly appeared from the battle and joins Jordan in eliminating them.

"Get rid of them! One by one."

The Rodfille Twins prepared the rocket launcher and aim fired the tank but misses.

"Ha! Imbeciles!" Dylan Shouted

"Are we?" Drew grabs an exploding device and clicks it.

The rocket launcher Drew made was built to do two things. First plan A, you fire and succeed, and Plan B, you missed and there is a small weapon device tracking the target nearby and making it still pay.

Drew is competent enough for this. His technologies are what make us dominant.
But competent people make enemies, even targeting your life to end that side.

The tank was filtered with fire leaving dark smokes in the blue sky. Drew checks on the tank and saw the helpless and injured Dylan still laughing despite of the pain.

Drew seems to be confused with his weird actions only realizing what the laugh is for after he sees the calling device in his hand.

"Shoot them".

*BANG*

We were to focused on our common target not noticing the danger everywhere might brings. Another bullet with bloodstains drops the cracky road putting everyone on notice.

The silence in the air derives within as Drew falls helpless. Everything seems to slow down as soon as the bullet arouse.

They can't even get closer to Drew's body. But chuck resist and aimed to saved his friend but only he would joined the rain of shot and got aimed right to his head.

"CHUCKKKK!" His twin brother Buck shouted in agony.

Jordan was stunned. As juju talks to him inside making him realize the reality of the suffering of the innocent lives.

"Dad" Brenda cries as he held his father on her knees.

"My daughter, forgive me I was behind all of this. Until then and now I cost you misery because of my foolish desires. I should have just let me love him."

"Save your son.. his life matters, he should live " Agustus grabs her hand and gives her a key.

"This is the only way I could repay my troubles to him, this key would unlock my hidden chest in my bedroom. I wrote my confessions there because I knew that one day Dylan might cross me. The evidence is there.

"Jordan will be fine. I love you"

The sun was too late to burst light in everyone. The rain cries as they mourn for their sudden deaths. But little did they know how the tables have turned and the casualties made something new. Something called hope in the eyes of everybody.
