Dying hope

It started with one shot then a bomb and then war. nobody knew that it would cause chaos and war. But they never listen but we still believe it will end. The town had to go into hiding or really group. We really live one life but some were lucky to live longer. Chicago is in ruins  and there's only ruble and brick left. We stay under ground because it s safer and they can't see us.
My group is called Lux which is Latin for light.  I don't know but we all became friends and survive for so long. My group consists of me, Rose, Jack and Jackie, Lily, and my older brother Tyler. My name Crystal but some call me Hope. We all have some type of gun or weapon. Rose has her axe, Jack and Jackie share a rocket launcher, Lily has a pocket knife because she doesn't fight much.  My brother uses a pistol and I have a machete.  We were recruited for a reason. We could all work together and help each other out but the bots will not stop at anything until were gone.  Green Goblin is the back up for my team but we never thought we would need them.

"Lily watch the people and Rose on your right!" I yelled. Everyone don't give up we can still beat them!" I yelled to my team.  "Who says there giving up or are you hearing things now" Tyler retorts back. "JJ's on your left, get that plane before they land. Just fire away you too!" I ordered.
1 hour later
"Good work team, another battle successful, now let's head out." *shot* "Chrystal NOOOOOO!!!!!!" Tyler yells but it's slightly muted and I soon only see the sky. I hear another shot and it was mu brother shooting a wounded bot. But he soon picks me and puts my head in his lap. "I called Green Goblin for medical help, Tyler." Jack told him. "Come on Chrystal, stay with me, we can't lose you,*sniff* come on!" Tyler said as he started to cry. I couldn't help but smile at my team. "Tyler I know you will make a great captain, so please take care of the team for me. That would would make....me happy. Stay...strong every...one....,don't forget...Hope. "No, come on, stay..with us. We need our Hope!" Tyler cried as he held me in his arms. "I...love....you.....Tyler..."with that final breath Tyler saw the life fade from my eyes. The Green Goblin team was too late.
2 Weeks later
The war finally ended and people all over the world was crying, remembering, and celebrating those that were lost in the war. The Green Goblin and Lux team were gathered around three tomb stones. Harry, the leader of the Green Goblin team. Jack, from the Lux team, brother of Jackie and amazing technician. And finally Chrystal, leader of the Lux team, sister of Tyler, and Hope of the World. They would always tell and remember the story of Dying Hope.
