The rebellion and government clashed in the climax of the story. "We've been waiting for this moment for years," shouted the leader of the rebellion. "We've grown stronger and we have the support of the people. It's time to demand that clones are treated as equals, with the same rights and protections as humans."
The government, determined to defeat the rebellion, unleashed their full force in the battle. Explosions and gunfire filled the air as both sides fought fiercely. But the rebellion fought back with bravery and determination.
In the end, the rebellion emerged victorious. "We did it!" exclaimed a member of the rebellion. "Clones will finally be granted legal recognition and personhood. Discrimination against them will no longer be tolerated." The rebels held up signs saying "We're here" and "You can never take us down!". As the fight wore on, members of the revolt slowly began to fall one by one until only seven were left standing.
"That should have been us," whispered an insurgent leader. His voice was broken and cracked. He fell to his knees and started crying. His comrades joined him as well. They couldn't believe what had happened. Their friend had just died because they had lost. And he wasn't even human.
"I'll do everything I can to bring justice to my family," sobbed one of the insurgents. "Please forgive me."
The leaders ordered soldiers to arrest the remaining insurgents and then began searching for the bodies of their fallen companions.
A lone soldier stepped forward and asked the leaders if they would like some water.
"What are you doing?" snarled a commander angrily.
"This isn't about you, General," replied the soldier respectfully. "This concerns all clones. We need help. Our country needs help."
"You're right, we do," answered the general. "But you need to leave and never come back. This is now our land. You've committed crimes against humanity and deserve death. Now go."
"General!" protested the rebel leader. "No. This isn't right. They're human! They're people just like us. We should show kindness-"
"Get away from me, traitor!" screamed the general at the rebel leader. Before he could react further, the soldier shot him dead, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud. The other rebel leaders immediately surrounded the general in fear. None of them would ever let anyone harm him again.
As the rebel leaders looked around helplessly for help, they noticed several clones walking past them. They had weapons pointed towards the rebels. They all recognized one of them; it was their leader, Rine.

The clones approached the soldiers, stopping in front of the commander and the rebels. There was silence for a few moments as the commander tried to process what was happening. One by one the rebels were either killed or subdued until only five remained. All of them faced the commander.
The commander opened his mouth and spoke for the first time since the uprising. "Why? Why are you helping us?" he said in bewilderment.
One of the remaining rebels walked forwards and spoke. "It's because of our leader. Our leader, Rine, told us to help you. He says you're different. You might have changed after what you've done. Maybe we shouldn't trust your word, but we have faith in Rine. And now that you've shown mercy to the rebels, it seems fair to us to give the same mercy to the soldiers." The rebels began firing their weapons in unison as they cheered Rine's name.
The commander raised his weapon to fire back when he felt something grab his neck and pull hard, knocking him unconscious. A second later someone grabbed his arms and dragged him away from his fallen comrade.
