It's A Short Story~~ Bellamy Blake

Chapter 20- Final Battle pt. 2

The council of Earth (Clarke, Finn, Raven, Bellamy and I) gathered in the Drop Ship. We looked at a makeshift table, which had formed a map of our camp and very thing around it, made with things I found. "This is us." I pointed at the branches that formed our wall, "we've got 25 rifles," I went on, "with 20 rounds each, give or take. Roughly 500 rounds of ammo, while you were gone, we made improvements. Thanks to Raven, the gully over here," I pointed at a spot outside the wall, "it's mined."
"Partially mined," Raven said, "thanks to Murphy."
"Still," I went on again, "it's a main route in. If the Grounders use it, we'll know. She also built grenades."
"That's not many." Clarke looked at the small box.
"Again," Raven replied, "thank you, Murphy."
"We'll make them count." Bellamy reassured.
"If the Grounders make it through the front gate," I told them ,"which is gonna be hard, because of our rifles, we can force them back with- again- guns and grenades."
"And then?" Clarke asked.
"Sorry, I didn't have much time to think of a master plan. I'm open for options. We still have some time left, I can make it work."
"Clarke, then..." Raven said, "we close the door and pray."
"And pray what?" Clarke asked Raven, "that the ship keeps them out? Because it won't."
"Let's not let them get through the gate." Bellamy said then he talked into the radio: "all Foxholes, listen up. Keep your eyes and ears open. Inflict casualties as many as possible. You can hold them off long enough to make them turn back, that's the plan."
"That's always the plan," Fin stated, "just like the bomb at the bridge."
"No," I said to Finn,"that was your idea, Spacewalker. We wanted to kill as many Grounders as possible. But someone didn't like that plan. Besides I'm still open for options. If you have a better idea...?"
"It can't be that simple," Clarke said suddenly, she turned to Raven, "you said there is enough fuel in those rockets to built a hundred bombs, right?"
"Yeah," Raven replied, "I also said we got no gunpowder left."
"I don't wanna built bomb. I wanna blast off."
"Draw them in close," I realized, "fire the rockets. A ring of fire..."
"Barbecued Grounders," Bell finished me, "I like that."
"Will it work?" Finn asked.
"The wire is a mess down there," Raven said, "but yes. You give me enough time, I'll cook them real good."
"Since you can't stand,"  told her, "I'll go down there. You'll tell me exactly what to do."
"Count me in." Finn said, owing an annoyed look from me.
"Count us in." Clarke said.
"Deal," Raven said. The rest nodded in agreement at the new plan.

So Finn, Clarke and I crawled under the floor of the Drop Ship. "Guys!" I called, "I think I found the ignition system. Raven what now?" Raven didn't reply for a second, but then said: "I can't feel my legs."
"Hold on!" Clarke said, "we're coming."
Clarke told Raven she was bleeding internally. Finn went off to find some stuff that could slow down the bleeding... the only problem was that Lincoln had this stuff. So Finn was once again out in the open to find the Grounder. So this was a small summary from how we wasted the past hour.

Night had already fallen, when we heard drums. War drums for sure. It was awfully silent in camp, as the other delinquents had heard it too. "There they are." I said, almost whispered, to Raven.
"We better do this fast," she replied, "then you can go out there and be a gunner like you're supposed to."
"Okay, orange wire, right?" I asked and she nodded. I got back down there and went to the spot I was before. Sometimes I heard the tons of hydrazine move, it sounded like water. The only difference was that when hydrazine made contact with fire it'll explode. I set the awful thought out of my mind and tried to concentrate. "Follow the orange wire." Raven called. I looked some closer at what she meant, the wire, and found out-
"It's fried, totally useless." I called, "tell me this isn't as bad as I think it is."
"You know how to splice a wire?"
"Barely." I told her.
"We need backup!" Jasper yelled from over the radio, apparently the fight had actually started. But Jasper's message was followed by another one, "Raven our mines actually work!"
"That's some news!" I said happily in the radio.
"All gunners," Jasper again, "the Grounders are not attacking. They're making us run out of bullets."
'Then don't shoot," I told them, I was more focused on the battle outside then the problem inside, "only if they come to close."
"Olivia," Raven said, "you can't give orders and splice a wire at the same time. And since you know only barely how to do it-"
"Raven, I can do it."
"I know. But they need you outside. Get Jasper, he knows exactly how to do it."
"But, Raven-"
"Today, Queen."
"Okay then," I grabbed the radio once more and brought it up to my mouth, "Japser, you need to switch place with me."
"Olivia, they're already attacking." Bell said, I was relieved to hear his voice and sighed a little.
"This is more important now."
"Okay, Olivia." Japser said, "let's do it. I'm on my way now."

I saw Jasper on my way outside, "good luck." I said.
"You too." He replied with a small smile. I wanted to give him a sort good bye hug, but since I knew this wasn't good bye, I didn't. Instead I ran up to the wall and started shooting several Grounders. I stood besides Miller. "There are too many." He said after some time, "everybody to the Drop Ship, now!"
"No!" Clarke shouted, "we need more time. Gunners, stay at your posts. The rest of you come on, quick." Delinquents started making their way into the Drop Ship, when a huge ball of fire fell out of the sky. "The Ark." I realized. The one ball went into more pieces, some exploded, others kept falling. After that we heard a strange noise. "REAPERS!" A Grounder yelled. And the army of Grounders turned around, and fought the Reapers first. Finn came running into camp right after we heard the Reapers, so Clarke hugged him tightly.
"Listen, Olivia." Miller said suddenly, as Clarke was distracted, "Bellamy told me to tell you the new order."
"New order?" I asked confused.
"You need to be in the Drop Ship. Gunners should stay outside until everyone else is inside, but Bellamy wants you to be inside as one of the first. When Clarke gives the order, run for it." I slowly nodded and faced the army again, still fighting Reapers.

As soon as all Reapers were gone, Miller gave me a small nod. "Go!"
"I see you there." it sounded like a statement when I said it.
"May we meet again, I guess."
"May we meet again." I nodded and jumped down the wall, then ran into the Drop Ship.
"They're taking over the gate!" I shouted, as I saw Clarke bending over Raven.
"Good," Japser said, "because I did it, I think." Right on that moment Miller came running in. "I'm closing that door." He panted.
"Wait." Clarke told him, "we still got people out there. Bellamy's not back yet."
"I'll get him." I wanted to run outside again, but Clarke held me back, "I have to." I tried again.
"I know, he'll come." She said, "I'm giving the order." Clarke went outside and did what she said, while I shot Grounders from of the Drop Ship.
"There he is!" Finn shouted and pointed at Bell.
"He's never gonna make it." Clarke cried.
"Bellamy, RUN!" I screamed and saw Bell grabbing a gun from the ground, too bad it was empty when he ran towards the, what seemed like, boss-Grounder. He hit Bell against his head, and then in his stomach. "No!" I cried, "he's killing him." Finn took a gun from a boy that ran into the Drop Ship, then he made his way to Bell and the Grounder. "No, Finn, no!" Clarke screamed. The Grounder and Finn fell to the ground, Bell tried to attack the Grounder again. "Bellamy, come back!" I screamed, tears slowly streamed down my face,
"Clarke, Olivia!" Miller yelled, "you can't save everybody. Let's go!" Miller pulled me back, knowing that there was no way I would leave Bellamy. And he, Bellamy, looked at me. He nodded that I should go. I didn't want to, I refused to lose him, but I couldn't help. Miller had already pulled me inside the Drop Ship, while more Grounders came over the wall. Monroe wasn't inside, but Harper held me back from leaving, humming a melody as waterfalls ran down my cheeks. Clarke walked inside too and looked around. She pulled the lever, and the Drop Ship door closed. One grounder, the Grounder-princess- as Raven had nicknamed her- rolled into the Drop Ship. She couldn't do a thing; guns were pointed at her.

"Jasper now!" Clarke ordered, Jasper pushed the small switch, but nothing happened. "No." Jasper whispered as pushed and pulled the switch over and over again.
"Anya," Clarke said to the Grounder, "you can't win." Anya yelled and tried to attack Clarke, only Miller knocked her out just in time. Delinquents started kicking her, so Clarke tried to stop them. Jasper tried the switch again, he now found extra wire. It worked. It freaking worked. The Drop Ship blasted off. It quickly landed again. Everyone was dead silent. A few tears still rolled down my cheeks, but that soon stopped when Clarke opened the Drop Ship door. What once was green and filled with tents, was now black and grey. All was burned, as we slowly walked out of the Drop Ship, surrounded by hundreds of burned skeletons. We all were quietly watching, when smoke bombs flew towards us from over the wall. A pink smoke surrounded us. "What the hell?" I breathed and started coughing as I fell to the ground. Green laser lights spotted us and men in suit walked towards us. That's where everything went black.
