The Years After

Chapter 28

        As we were about 10 minutes from the East Worker Sector, millitary tanks started to come from the direction of the warehouse, they didn't have a Leader Seal, they were ours. We finally arrived and there were leader soldiers trying to calm the crowd, there were bodies already on the ground with gun wounds. Workers were fighting with rocks before the Rebel weapons arrived, they had a plain bulletproof vest and machine guns. They were shooting at the Soldiers. I got a bulletproof vest and a gun for myself, Nicole started to grab one too when I told her,

        "No, you can't fight right now it's too dangerous. We don't have the proper ammo." 

        "But I want to fight, let me fight!" Nicole demanded.

        "No! You can't! You know what, get Hulk, Hulk's Dad and Mike," I pointed to them, "And run to the palace, tell my dad to open the Weapon Shaft and load a millitary tank, get weapons, ammo, grenades, all that good stuff, and bring it as quick as possible." I said. Nicole called the guys and they dissappeared running into the forest. I started to fight, pew, pew, pew, crack, whoosh, were all the sounds that I heard, bodies fell, they were mostly Rebels, but there were also many Leader soldiers, dead. Then I saw fire out of the corner of my eye, the Rebels were using their power. Then water, they joined forces to create enough water pressure to make the Soldiers fall to the ground, then they set them on fire or shot them. The front ones, the strongest, started to fall first, then as the strongest fell, the weakest started to run away. Thirty minutes had passed then another tank arrived, it was Nicole, but then two more arrived, the Leader's Army. They unloaded and started to fight immediately, as we did too. More bodies started to fall and several mini body mountains were on fire, more water pressure on them, whosh, fire, death! It was happening really fast, I saw bodies running in my direction, pew pew pew, straight in the head, they fell in unison with the sound of the bullets, it almost sounded like music. I kept shooting, then click, Shit! I'm out of bullets! I was going to run back to the tank and get ammo, but that was like a death trap because the Soldiers started getting close to the tanks, "Hey! Guard the weapons!" I screamed and then a couple of Rebels started to surround the vehicles and killed any Soldier close to them. I was out of ammo, so I started using my power, Fire on a group of soldiers, some of my men joined powers with me to take them out with water. I was out of trouble mostly, and the Leader was loosing men, 100 of mine to about 60 of his. Piece of Cake, I thought then I heard screams coming behind me. I quickly turned around and a Soldier launched himself at me, he was holding a Bowie knife. He tried to stab me, but my reflexes were stronger than his tries. He launched at me, and I took the chance to twist his arm, whoops, too hard, I broke it. The man fell on the floor holding his arm and then quickly got up and ran away. The tanks were free, and I went for a machine gun, there were only a couple 40 Soldiers and still 100 of mine. More shots and death, count 30, in 10 minutes, 25 following, the 15 of the 25 remaining ran away, the rest followed. Cheers came from the Rebels and then they took a flag from inside one of the tanks, a flag with red on one half, black on the other, a white star in the center. Red for victory, Black for desire, White star for rebellion. The flag was planted on the center of the battle ground. 

        "Victory and Desire!" A chant of Rebellion.

        Hulk and my squad approached me, Hunter was there, "Sorry Hunter, I started giving orders. That's your job."

        "Don't be. Those were some smart moves. You have material," he took the red handkerchief from his wrist, the Rebel symbol for a leader and handed it to me. The remaining Rebels started cheering and Hunter said, "I name Carlos, as Leader of Rebellion for the Teenage Team."

        "Viva Carlos!" The team chanted.

        I looked and saw about 300 bodies laying in the middle of the Square and a couple of families standing with sad eyes looking at their destroyed homes. I walked over to them and said,

        "Don't worry, I will set up a Refugee Camp at the Palace, my father is okay with it, you guys can stay there," the families lightened up, "and I will send a clean up team to pick up the bodies tomorrow morning." I signaled the families to gather up and I told my team, "Take some weapons and ammo, so that at the call of action, all of you are ready, I will give you all proper protection tomorrow. Go home and take some rest, you all did great." I smiled at them and they started to leave. "Thanks!" I shouted and then I led the families towards the city to the Palace.
