Okari Rise Of A New Empire

Chapter 16

I'm determined to see this mastermind, the maker of all chaos. The one who caused this riot to happen, the one who causes his people to rebel. This genius behind such a well-played plan that caused all hell to break loose. The thing is, if both sides are losing lives, then why go along with wanting to expand the Empire? Yet, the funny thing is, there's no Empire if there are no people.

Back to back, we've been putting down the enemy, getting them before they get to us. And our people have fought well sticking alongside us, fighting like the warriors I've always known them to be.

"Do we go to the palace or to the house?"

I looked at Olly, "what do you think we should do?"

He looked at me, "you're the leader, you're the one who wanted to do this."

I looked at the ground then looked at Toby, "any takers on what we should do?"

Toby looked down and fingered his gun, then he looked up at me. "I think I have an idea."

I nodded my head for him to speak, he took the hint and prepared to talk.

"Well, I think that we should figure out a way to break the Okarian barrier first. Because if they built this the way I think, it would be able to withhold anything thrown at it."

"Including Mother Earth herself?"

"They built it because of their fears, so yes, even Mother Earth herself. Which is why we have to figure out how to break it."

I looked at Toby. "You're a smart boy, I'm sure you could figure out a way."

He gave me a straight face. "There was a reason why I said we, it's going to take a lot more than one being to do this."

I let out a deep breath, "any ideas on how to break it?"

He shrugged, "I might have thought of a couple."

"Elaborate," I looked at him, eager to just knock the wall down and go.

"I've been thinking, what if we tried to break it simultaneously. You know, each of us surrounds the wall and pound something heavy into it all at once. Then the pressure from all of the applied force might be enough to create a crack into the glass. From there we could widen that crack giving it no other choice but to shatter and bust. Then bam." Toby clapped his hands, " Okari has fallen, we could lead the people to their new home."

That does sound like a good idea, "but what if it doesn't work?"

"Simple," he shrugged nonchalantly. "We better hope to God that Mother Earth comes through for us."

I let out a sigh. Oh Toby, what and I going to do with you, my love?

"How about we just focus on ending this, we can't break out if we don't come out victorious. If we try to break it now, the officials would shoot us down, remember." Olly looked at us, "you can't sell if there's no supplier."

"Olly's right," I looked at Toby. "But do think up some more ideas."

Toby nodded.

I looked at him and Ollimere, "palace it is, I guess."

---------------------------

There they are, two armed guards covering the palace from any harm. Two guarding the door, three up top looking out for any signs of threat, and two on the outskirts thinking they look invisible. But little do they know, they're about to go down in three...two...

POW!

POW!

Both are down and the sounds of the guns alerted everyone else. They look around for the intruder, the prisoner of the shadows, the ones that are free. Us.
