Two Months Later: Eleven A.M. in the warehouse, Saturday, June 25, the beginning of the War.

    Mark stood in the podium, talking "You are all expected to give your best for the cause of our freedom, think about the defenseless, the sick and wary, think about your children, they deserve a new life!"

     "We have secretly finished producing your battle gear, it consists of a bullet proof

vest, a protective helmet, active pants that mold into your body to satisfy any movement," Amanda added.

    "Weapons consist of, grenades, guns, knives, darts and bows and arrows," Elbert explained.

     "Remember we are fighting for freedom, fight as a team, and we will win." Mark added.

    "Victory and Desire!" We shouted in unison

     There were three groups of fifty in a team, sixteen teams for each of the sixteen Weaponries in the Third Town. My group and I have the eighth weaponry, the largest one. We are destroying thirteen weaponries and three were being captured for rebellion use. Through a type of device, that had a microphone and an earbud, I heard Mark give instructions, " One group of fifty will plant bombs inside the weaponry to blow it up, they're old so they would be easy to destroy, the rest will guard the area, you all have an approximate 45 minutes to complete this mission, once you are all set, bombs wired, and control ready, each of you get at least 500 feet, away from the bombs, the military tanks following you have at least 200 tons of TNT, they mask with the Leader's tanks so there shouldn't be much trouble with appearance, copy?" Mark explained.

    "Copy." We answered.

     It took forty five minutes to get to the Eighth Weaponry, the battle tank was traveling at average speed and the teams going further away to the Weaponries were traveling by hoverjet, it was easy not being spotted since the Battle Vehicles matched with the Leader's Vehicles, they thought we were them, but we weren't. It would be easy to destroy the weaponries since its Saturday and no government official works, the weaponries are part of the government, so if you work there you are a government official.

     "The first division of fifty start setting the bombs, there's three stories in the Weaponry so, one group per story, twenty five of you set bombs and twenty five of you tie the string to the bombs, make a gridline, after that bring the strings to the main entry and we will set it on fire." Hunter gave the order.

    We worked fast, it took us forty five minutes to set up the bombs. They are high range bombs, extremely damaging.

     "I want three of you to stay here and help me set up the string." Hunter ordered.

    Hunter, Julissa, Bryan and I stayed setting up the string. We set it up fifteen feet away from the main entry, added gasoline to about 10 feet to give us time to hop on the hoverboards and fly as far away as possible.

     "It should take about seven minutes so let's get flying." Hunter said.

    We arrived and set under a rock, the teams were safe some outside the Battle Tanks and most of them inside. Boom. There goes the first bomb. Nothing happened for fifteen seconds. I peeked and then Boom. Boom!  BOOM!  BOOOOOM! A chain reaction of explosions and fires set in the first story, then the second, there goes the third one. Glass shattered, metal was bending and melting, raging smoke coming from the roof and in fifteen minutes the weaponry was bending, unsupported towards the ground. We quickly left the area before the Leader's Army arrived. Just as the fire disappeared from view, Hunter spoke into the MicroBud, "Eighth Weaponry has fallen."
