Night has arrived, and at the erasers' camp, torches have been lit.
"General, we are set up for the night" said one of the erazor.
"Good, continue patrolling the camp, and I'll let the refugees sleep easy" said the general.
As the general calms the refugees, and the general falls asleep himself. Sergeant Tipp moves in closer and closer to the camp. The dead of night covers them from detection.
In the distance, Sergeant Tipp commands the legion to distribute their numbers to cover the camp.
Within seconds, multiple guards are brought down to the ground. The sudden death of nearby guards alerted the others. One runs up the path of the camp leading to the General's Camp. He warns the general, but he did not awake.
The guard grabs the General's horn, and blows the alarm. A loud, deep sound escaped from the horn.
The pencils reached the camp. The erasers use their weapons of fire to burn the pencils with ease; however, it was not enough. From the eyes of Tipp, it was horrific, seeing his army being burned to nothing but a burning pile of wood.
Screeching and blood-curling screams came from the dying pencils. Tipp didn't want to hear it anymore, but he remembered his mission. Tipp targeted the patrol unit that was burning his troops, so Tipp headed towards them by horse. Tipp's horse jumped through the flames and Tipp assassinated an erazor by voliently stabbing him. He then grabbed the incendiary pistol he had and melted a hole in the middle of one's chest. He threw a grenade and the erasers exploded in a bloody fashion. Tipp's group men headed straight for the largest camp on the hill.
While all of this is occurring, the general sleeps peacefully while his men are being melted, stabbed, and bled of their lives. Tipp arrives closely at the General's Camp.
Meanwhile, men are loading panicked villagers onto the transport cages. One mother of two defended her young from the pencils. One pencil whipped her in the back and then gouged her eyes out. The children cried as they hid under their beds while watching their mother screamed in pain. The girl bursted out in tears, but her brother quickly silenced the cries coming out of her mouth. One pencil delivered the mother to one of the cages. They put a blindfold over her eyes to slow the bleeding. The other heard the quickly silenced cries. He flips over the mother's bed and looked underneath. Nothing...
He opens a locker, and finds nothing. He then looks on the other side of the camp and walks over to the other bed. The girl pulls out a flaming serrated knife and gets ready. The pencil pulls up the bed with one of his arms. The girl reaches out towards the chest of the pencil and stabs him. He turns around, facing his back to the kids. The boy jumps on his back and gouges his eyes out for revenge. The pencil's body falls to the ground.
Tipp unzips the zipper of the General's Camp and walks in. He pulls out a silenced pistol and shoots a bullet in between his eyes.
Tipp commands his army to return to Commander Sharp immediately. They leave the camp leaving nothing but torn camps, flames, and a bloodbath.
The kids come out of their camp. The intensity of the flames were insane. The camps were completely destroyed. The girl look in every single camp for any survivors and found three survivors. Two men and one child. The boy looks in the General's Camp and found a incendiary rifle with the hat of the general laying on top of his head.
"He is cold" said the boy.
He takes the General's hat and walks down the path to attend to his sister. She was pacing back and forth in anger.
"Kane, where do we go?" said Lilian.
"We're going to get our mother back" said Kane.
