Issue 6: My Agony

Chapter 18: Storming the Capital!

We leave a cave and see a city, the despair and anguish radiates from it. That city would be gorgeous if it weren't so evil.

Wow thank goodness there's Winston. I know we're gonna win with him as our squad leader.

Ashley eyes widen and she sounds very hyper, "Everyone did great oh you should have seen Mercy! Her angel power activated and she flew really fast! She was like wheeeeeeeeeewwww!!! Diving down to save Shauna's life then she's like whoooossssshhhh! Saving McCree and lots of other people too."

"Well she is the greatest doctor after all."

I then tell him, "And Carlos who's usually quite a meme burned all these Void creatures and Jacob used his magic to keep the forest from burning down."

Winston sighs and Maddie asks, "What's wrong?"

Winston responds, "I hope it's not too late to save my friend Tracer."

Ashley looks up smiling at Winston. Hope fills her voice, "Don't worry we'll save her I just know we will."

"We have this part of the city but we can't get farther in. The British guy is even here. He struggled a bit with this thing that calls itself a purifier."

He projects a map from his phone and fingers a road. "Would it be okay with you guys if we went down this way? Judith flew over the city scanning what she looked at. From what I can see that's a poor area, meaning lots of people who will see us as those invaders beating the jerks who treat them like trash. Remember when we won that city awhile back? We also have to liberate everyone we can from the Void creatures. You guys didn't know I brought cerulean jelly now did you?"

Judith's eyes lighten, "Woah! You really do think of everything Winston."

Winston laughs a little, "Oh I try. Empires usually don't care about their poor parts so we can convince them to help us since the empire treats them badly so we'll be good to them. Then they can help us take the nice parts of town they actually care about keeping safe."

It looks like a Renaissance European city, with cobblestone roads, fancy stone buildings, and neat rows of trees. We cross a river then go down an alley then another one.

Oof, those yordle and human children have awful measles.

Concern and worry fills Maddie's voice, "Who can let such a thing happen?" She looks up, her eyes fill with tears and sadness.

Tristana says, "They'd rather keep their magic suppressed instead of curing them. It's a ridiculous conspiracy theory anyway. These disgusting people would rather let them die than be a certain way."

Children scream and doors clap shut. A shadow looms around the corner.

"Oh damn what's that!"

"I don't like your language, kid."

Ugh, I stick my tongue out pointing down my throat because his attitude makes me gag so badly.

Tristana's cheeks puff and she heavily exhales. "You've seen children dying of measles, something we can prevent, but you're offended over a word that's barely even a swear? Well I find your shi...oops sorry I mean crappy priorities offensive. Is that better?" She says better in quite a bitterly mocking tone.

"You're just a mortal like your opinion means anything."

Winston's brows scrunch together, his hands tense and shake as he holds his sword and he jetpacks into the air.

Oww that hurt! I look to my right and there's so much trash. I quickly roll forward while turning. "I just want to die."

"I'm more than happy to help you with that." I back away after seeing a blurry shadow then a pig knight with a dumb red helmet crashes against the wall.
