Heroes

The Final Plan

"Damn it!"
Apparently Rivio had used his former influence to persuade a guard that he was rejoining me. The same damn thing keeps happening!
I ordered my guards to follow his trail, find where he was, and hopefully find the LR unit too. If all went well, it ended soon!
Aria had come around. She asked to see me. Reggie was with the guards, helping them search.
When I went to the hospital, Aria was sat up in her hospital bed.
"Jun, I'm sorry for siding with him. It's just.....he was one hell of a guy."
"That he was. Hopefully we'll get him back to the way he was!"
"It's not that simple. Those LR bastards scrambled his brain pretty good. It'll take months, years even, to get him back to the way he was."
"Shit! Well for know, let's just find the damn LR unit!"
Aria left without being discharged. We joined the hunt.

Two hours later, we'd found the place.
A gap in between two mountains up north from the town. There was a whole modern village, with underground entrances. What I assumed was Rivio's house overlooked it all at the top of one of the mountains. It was a large, wooden, modern mansion. Windows faced off of each side of the mountain.
Reggie ran up to us.
"These bastards, they've got the place pretty secure. We're gonna need one hell of a plan to pull this off."
"It's a good damn thing I've got one, then!" I shouted. The guards heard, and ran over.
I explained my plan quickly.
Me, Reggie and Aria would breach the windows on Rivio's house. We'd climb up the mountain, break through, and hopefully capture him alive. The guards would attack from the top of the other mountain, and use the height to their advantage.
"Well, it's the best we've got right now, I guess." Aria said.
So we got about planning. The guards took sniper rifles to camp on the mountain, and the three of us would camp further away.

The three of us spent the night talking, getting to know each other. I knew Aria well, but not Reggie.
Luckily he started off the night with an interesting story!
"So, when I was up north, our group was attacked by a bear. A massive, badass, no shit taking bear! And it swipes one of my mates in half, but I punch it once, and the huge dog runs off!"
"Bullshit!" Aria shouted, "There's no way in hell that happened!"
"I shit you not, the bear legged it!"
We all laughed.
"Hey Aria, you ever think that we'd be here three years ago?"
"Not really."
"I didn't think I'd be knocking the stuffing out of a guy called Marcus, but what you gonna do?" Reggie grinned.
The three of us laughed.

The morning came around. The guards were in position!
It was a simple job. Capture Rivio alive. Keep quiet, and eliminate the LR unit.
Little did I know how fucked up things would get.

Hey guys, the next chapter is really long, so it might take longer for me to write it. There are two more chapters to come, and then that's it.
Thanks for reading!
And BrionyT and Charlotte8421 the jails are pretty crap.
