The Purge

Chapter 4: A Dead Man's Legacy

September 9, 2042, 10:30 PM

The Purge has almost come to an end. Everyone in the mall gathers, excited to finally go outside and not have their lives on the line.

Myah: Thank you, you two for helping us through this. We will never forget you.

Marcus: I hope after all this is over, we can still stay in touch.

Oscar: I hope so too.

While the 4 adults were sharing hugs and cheek kisses, Darius saw someone on a window that looked familiar.

Darius: Dad? Uncle Marcus? There's someone up there!

The four adults looked up to where Darius was pointing, and were in horror. They saw members of the Ares cult, including Rhock.

The glass windows break as cult members rappel down and start holding civilians hostage, but were just surrounding the main group.

Rhock walks to the group.

--------------------------------------------------

Rhock: Marcus. I missed you.

Marcus: The hell you want?!

Rhock: Please join us. We will give you everything we need.

Myah: Not in a thousand weeks!

Rhock: ...this is your last chance to change your mind.

Tony: And we... decline!

Tony and Oscar pulled out their shotguns and started shooting. Marcus took out his M9 and shot 2 members beside Rhock, but before he tried to shoot Rhock, the latter striked back by punching the gun out his hands and punching him in the face.

Myah took the marksman rifle and the kids and informed Kayleigh and Darius to hide somewhere, but let Cletus tag along with her M92, as he was 17 and had some experience with guns.

Myah and Cletus were shooting the cult members. They only had melee weapons like axes, nailed bats, and knifes, although Myah got cut in the shoulder. Tony and Oscar we're saving hostages, while Marcus and Rhock were fighting each other.

Marcus threw a punch, but Rhock caught it and punched him back in the face twice. Marcus then went in for a kick, but Rhock caught that and threw it behind him, showing Rhocks extreme strength.

Marcus got up, with blood in his nose and mouth, fed up.

Marcus: You son of a bi-

Before he could finish, explosions were heard. The mall was being burnt down by the cult.

Marcus checked the time on his phone, it was 11:30. Before he could look up, Rhock punched Marcus and had his arm around him, choking him.

Marcus: You.. j- just for..got one.. thing...

Rhock: What?

Marcus: I'm a fucking SWAT officer.

In the middle of that sentence, Marcus pulled a grenade and pulled the pin and dropped it, causing Rhock to panic and let Marcus go. The fire continued to spread.

Rhock: YOU SON OF A BITCH!!

Rhock tried to run, but Marcus pulled his arm back, pinned him to the floor and choked him while he was on the grenade.

The grenade exploded, sending both Marcus and Rhock flying. Marcus was badly injured, as was Rhock. In the middle of the two, was an MP5 sub machine gun. Marcus ended up getting it as they both stood up. Marcus pointed the gun at Rhock.
