INSURGENCY

Chapter 7: The War Begins

Jack woke up the the rising sun's rays. He got up and started to get dressed for the war. "Hey Jack, any news about where the war is gonna start?" asked Dinah, entering the room. "No, not yet," replied Jack. "OK, well tell us when you get the information," said Dinah. "OK," said Jack. Dinah left the room. Jack went up to his window and stared into the city. He wondered how Seth was doing, hoping he's OK.

Seth woke up and got dressed. He left his room and headed to the command room. He sat at his usual spot, and he spotted Sam giving him a suspicious look. Sam looked away, followed by Seth to give his attention to Kal. "The war is gonna start in 10:00," said Kal. "The war will begin at the center of Metropolis. So, go to your rooms to prepare." With that, everyone went to their rooms. Sam passed Seth, giving him a look, with his sickle in his hand showing. Seth remembered what Sam told him. 'I goddamn sure I'll do way worse to you and your lover.' Seth was shaking a little before Sam left. Seth went to his room, a few steps away from Sam. He entered his room and quickly texted Jack the information he got. Seth put down his phone after Jack texted him back. He was worried him and Jack, mainly Jack. He was worried about Jack's safety. He told himself that Sam will not lay a hand on Jack, he'll make sure of that. Seth started packing his weapons and ammo, and he sat on his bed for the official call for war.

Jack's phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw the message. He ran to the living room and told the others. "The center of Metropolis," said Mateo. "Isn't that the area where a statue of a man holding the world?" "Yep," replied Selina. "Well, I guess that's where we need to go. Let's pack our stuff. This is gonna be the end of everything that happened in the last few days." Jack was getting his stuff. He thought about what Selina said. He started to cry. "Hey," said Mateo, worried. "Are you OK." "No," said Jack, sobbing. "Why?" asked Mateo. "With what Selina said, I keep thinking that Seth just loved me for what's going on," said Jack. "He never loved me. He only did it for the regime." Mateo heard what Jack said and he hugged him to comfort Jack. "Jack, Seth loves you," said Mateo, reasoning. "How... How do you know?!" asked Jack. "I've seen how he looks at you," said Mateo. "I've seen how he treats you. Remember how he treats you when we were at the zoo, remember when he shows up to check up on you, to see if you're OK. He loves you no matter what, no matter what the situation is, he'll also loves you." Mateo brought Jack closer to him. "Maybe you're right," said Jack. He wiped the tears off of his face. "Thanks." "Hey. It time to go," said Dinah. "OK," replied Mateo. Jack and Mateo left the room and joined the girls. They left the house and headed towards the center of the city. Only 2 or 3 hours early.

At the center, it was a healthy green field with a few trees surrounding it. There was less places to hide, so the insurgents his on the rooftop of the closest building. "Where are they?" asked Dinah, impatiently. "They should be here in a few minutes. Just wait," said Selina. The time was 10:00, and just on time, the regime members came. "There they are. Should we attack now?" asked Mateo. "No," said Jack. "We should wait until they attack first. We will come in as a surprise attack. They don't know we're here." "OK," replied Mateo. At the field, Seth was uneasy. He was searching for Jack and the others. He spotted movement on top of a building and smirked. "What are you looking at?" asked Sam, suspicious but knew what he was doing. "I'm looking to see what will cause more damage," lied Seth. "OK," said Sam. "Everyone," said Kal. I've created a creature that can cause buildings to fall." As Kal said that a huge muscular monster came with his hands cuffed. "I call him, Armageddon." For the building, The insurgents were shocked to see the creature. "What is that?" asked Selina. "I don't know, but that's one hell of a creature. I know things are gonna end up way worse than we thought," said Jack. People surrounded the field when they saw the regime and the creature. "Citizens, the new government will begin!" shouted Kal. "Now!" With that, all of the regime soldiers ran to terrorize the people. Seth and the other went with them too. The police arrived and started attacking but were outnumbered. "We need the military!" said one of the policeman. Kal uncuffed Armageddon and the creature jumped towards a building and smashed into it, causing it to fall. "Now?!" asked Selina. "Now!" shouted Jack. With that, they went separate ways, dividing the army so each one wouldn't be overwhelmed. Selina jumped on Raven's shoulders and slashes her in the face twice and did a back flip, smashing Raven into the ground, face first. Dinah punched Liza's back, knocking her on the ground. Mateo landed in front of Seth and smacked him in the face with his bow staff. Jack sneaked up to Sam and shot his gun next to Sam's ear making it ring. Jack then got on Sam's head and smashed his body onto Sam's, causing him to smash into the ground. Sam got and took out his sickle. "Well, if it isn't Seth's bitch," said Sam. "Even if I am a bitch, Seth still loves me," Jack replied. "I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this," said Sam with an evil look and smile. "I'm gonna hurt you painfully and slowly." "More pain, bring it on," said Jack.

At the field, Kal watched as everything was being destroyed. "This is gonna be good," said Kal, laughing evilly.
