Chapter 9 "Plans don't last long in battle" 

Bellamy's POV

     Murphy made it in, he refused to take Abby's medicine and is already getting better. With the mountain's med bay full, Dante having people moved to quarantine. This wasn't part of the plan. I am not sure how Clarke will take the news.

     Echo and I are in Vincent's home, Vincent himself isn't here, when Emerson comes in. "If your people are going to come, they need to come soon. Dante gave Cage and Tsing the go ahead to start experimenting on your blood." Emerson says.

     "When do they start?" I ask him. 

     "In a few hours, knowing Tsing, she will have results on their blood by the end of the day. Then they will make them either into a reaper or use their blood to treat our people." He says.

     "We can't have that. I am not smart like Clarke and Raven, but they are probably starting the testing because most of the 100 haven't gotten sick. I don't know why and I also don't care. You have to make sure that everything is in place, Emerson. I told you what happens to the earth if our people die. That means your family dies as well. I will call Clarke. It's time to get ready." I say.

     "I will make sure my part is done." He says.

     Emerson walks out the room and I reach for my radio, "Clarke, are you there?"

     "I am here, Bellamy. What is up?" She says.

     "Cage and Tsing are going to start testing on our people, today. Dante moved everyone that is sick into quarantine. Clarke, they will have the results from testing by tonight. They won't wait after that." I say.

     "Hang tight, we will be there. Raven is shutting down the acid fog now. You stay and watch Skaikru, Echo can watch anyone from the clans. See you tonight." Clarke says and we spring into action.

     I turn to Echo and bring her into a searing kiss, "Be safe, call me on the radio if you need me."

     "You too, Belomi." She says and heads the opposite direction.

     

Clarke's POV

     "See you, tonight." I say, turning to Lexa as she pulls me into her arms.

     "It is time, let's go let everyone know." She says and we walk out of the tent.

     As all the warriors come together and Lexa speaks, "People of Skaikru, gonas of the Kongeda, today we march. We fight to take down the Mountain that has haunted us for years. Some in the mountain we need alive, for what is to come. As for those that we don't need, jus drein jus draun. Today we get our people back, both Skaikru and clan."

     As the people chant blood must have blood, I give the order, "Kom wor!"

     Not long before we make it to the mountain Lexa shakes her head, and says, "You should come with me to Polis. It will change the way your people feel about us."

     I smile, squeeze her hand and say, "You already have."

     Darkness has settled in as we come to the base of the mountain. Everyone falls into place, Monroe setting the bomb while Raven is at Philpott Dam, anytime now she will set the bombs. She is going a bit overkill this time, she has ten bombs ready to go. 

     We get the signal through the radio, four short and three long bursts, though we didn't need it as the ground beneath us grumbles and shakes. I pull Lexa's hand over and place it on top of mine, the one that is on the remote. Now is the time that we will know if Raven fixed the jamming signal.
