"Everyone, Everyone, thank you for gathering here at such quick notice. I would like to say a big thank you for all your efforts, your contributions. Your part that you play in Liberal Militia, is why we are here today."
"As you all know, we have our war soon with The Obelus. Unfortunately, this could mean life or death for some of us, but you shall be remembered as one of the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the life of others. Do not be afraid, because you have died for a good cause. You are strong soldiers, each and every one of you, and thank you for your service."
"We have not long until this horrid event. After suiting in the bullet proof armour, I need you all to drive to the top of the mountain now, and brace yourselves. Good luck."
The rain hits harder on all of you, making it seem like the clouds knew your fate.
You, Mini, and Gen suit up with the gear Phoebe has given all of you.
"Damn, these things are really sturdy... That makes me feel slightly better."
Mini nervously chuckles and starts up the car.
After driving on top of the mountain with Mini and Gen, you unload everything that you need and proceed to find hiding spots before the war starts. Gen stays emotionless and sits behind a small tree. Mini stays behind the tree next to you, and sighs.
Not long after, you hear the sound of The Obelus marching and screaming on the mountain next to the one you are on.
"Come one, let's go , Y/N," Mini says nervously.
Oh... alright," You mumble.
You start to prepare your bombs and guns and ammo, ready to battle of your lige. You consider being a sniper but there are already 12 snipers already. This makes you worried you'll have to go and fight on the field. You leave Liberal Militia and get into the car with Mini.
The car gets ambushed immediately as bullet pierces through the car window, shattering and diving into the bullet-proof armour.
"Get out! Get out now!"
Luckily, your aim is right on and you manage to take down both the soldiers with two shots on the head.
You get out of the car and get into position. You and your group of allies stood strong behind the trees in the belittling rain. The Obelus approached closer. The Obelus workers looked like little toys on the other mountain. You wiped a tear from Mini and comforted her.
"Listen. We've been through so much. We've been walking through crumbling bridges and we've watched our cities and towns turn to dust. What have we got to lose Mini? We're strong enough to survive this."
You hold her hand to reassure her that everything will be alright, but you have to admit to yourself that it doesn't look like you are going anywhere.
"They've got so much more people Y/N... and also guns. One shot and we're dead in a matter of seconds. Is it really worth it?"
"We've got them too. Even if we die on the mountain here, we're doing this for a good cause. We're saving other's lives. The lives of people now and soon to be."
You are interrupted but the sound of screaming approaching closer, with the Obelus guards and soldiers. Gen looks down with no emotion, and grabs something out of her pocket. Gen presses a button, and in a loud booming sound, nearly half the soldiers are gone.
Everyone coughs and tries to see through all the smoke. The rain mixed with the blood and mud on the mountain. Organs and body parts fly everywhere.
"When the hell did you set this up Gen?"
Gen still stands quietly next to you. You decide not to question her since she has already made a move on the opponent.
"Yesterday when you guys went over to Smither's, I set the bombs up to all blow up at once. It wasn't too hard since I just had to hide them out of plain sight.
Jiayi runs towards you looking for help, their panting smothering their words.
"Y/N, we can end this war together. I know we haven't had the best relationship with each other, but we can fix this. Will you trust me enough to listen to my plan to get rid of the Obelus?"
"Jiayi. How could I trust you after everything you've done to me and my friends? How could you ask for help in your time of need?"
"Y/N! Please listen. The Obleus is out to kill you and you need to help me so we can stop them before disaster strikes. This is for our sake, okay? Me and you."
"What do you mean?"
"Y/N! I've got no time to explain. They're getting closer."
"I'm good Jiayi."
Jiayi sighs as the Obelus catches up.
A shot from one of the Obleus' gun announces the official beginning of the war. Screaming, fighting and blood. Your worst nightmare is coming true. This is the moment you've all worked months for. This is it. You fight like you've got nothing to lose. Everyone is doing surprisingly well at hiding from all the Obelus' attacks.
"Thank god for bullet proof suits."
You sigh and continue attacking your enemy.
Looking around, guards are coming up from the left side of the mountain. You hide behind the tree and shoot every guard that comes by. Surprisingly, that is easier than you thought it would be. Most of your team still remains without an injury, and no one is dead yet. Everything is looking good for the Liberal Militia as numbers on the Obelus' side are dropping drastically, with the warden also injured. For some reason, you see Greg running up from behind. Two soldiers walk behind him, with guns in their hands.
"Y/N, hid-"
Jiayi's body flies forward as blood soaks into the remainder of his clothes and the dirt beneath you.
"Surrender now. Surrender now or everyone dies."
"June...?"
"I'm sorry Y/N...."
