Chapter 9: Now it’s War
John
It had been what felt like forever, wedged in by a beam that had fallen on me after the explosion, I couldn’t get out. One part being that I was still a young teenager and wasn’t strong enough to lift the beam off me, the other part is I didn’t want to risk being shot as soon as I got out. I continued to lay there, I was getting realistic to the fact that I was probably going to die here, I was already in a lot of pain as the beam crushed my leg and I was steadily losing blood. I wasn’t scared though, if I died, I wouldn’t have to go to prison if I failed to find anything on the commander, and Benton and Emily would be saved as there was no trial to convict them for knowing about it that is if they live through the attack. I mean It was sad, I would never get to see any other people I had formed good bonds with over the months, or even my family again, but it would all be okay in the end. Just as I was thinking that I heard people rummaging through the rubble, I figured it was the alter factions’ guards as they had finally eliminated everyone but to my shock it was a friend. “Look who it is!” he said pulling the beam off of me with others help, others cleared the other excess stuff off me pulling me out of the wreck. I couldn’t walk, my right leg was completely stuffed. “Damn that’s pretty bad man.” Daniel was trying to sound unphased, but the nights events were wearing on him as he must have been fighting through a large force by all the gunfire. “yeah I could use some medical assistance.” I chuckled, even when confronted with death I never failed to amuse myself.

Benton
We had been getting people out of their rooms in order to fight and the fighting had been raging for at least two hours at this point, the enemy just didn’t stop coming. “There is too many of them, we have to abandon the school, get everyone we can out, we’re just losing to many people!” Emily yelled it out as a begging, and she wasn’t wrong too, we had lost more people than we should have and they were not scaling back, we were killing more of them, but they had a larger, more equipped force. “Okay we have to get all of the rooms on the other side of the school out, we will use the side entrance to get out, do we know anyone on that side of the school?” many of us pondered, one spoke up “Daniel is on the other side, he might be part of a force on the other side if they were lucky.” I nodded at him “alright we cut through the back of the school almost like a loop, path of least resistance is the goal here!” we made a move on, pushing through the school cutting down forces as we went, we ran into less and less, the closer we got to the edge, it was our best push yet, but we made a fatal flaw in out plan, the back entrance was packed with enemy forces, and they tried to cut us down hard. They had us pinned with nearly no way out because an enemy force was now responding to a backup call. This was it, our big push and it failed, we kept firing from out covered position, but we were running out of ammo and we needed more people.

“Jack! Take a force to go search the other side of the school, rescue all survivors!” that was the order Daniel gave me, and I was going to live up to the task, I took the people through the centre of the school. Right through the warzone of the school, but I had a plan, “Grab metal sheeting from the construction room, were going to use it to make shields. Once we have them unable to hit us shooters will clear them out!” everyone did so with haste constructing an improvised formation with welded sheet metal, we made it to the centre and whilst advancing to it was had the shields facing the enemy with gunners clearing out the guards, but when we made it to the dead centre we made a oval of shields with gunners in the centre shooting out. We made it to the other side losing no one. Everyone although tired was relieved. “It doesn’t stop here everyone we have got to keep moving!” we followed a trail of bodies to a current gunfight, we saw all the people inside the fight “That’s who were looking for! Open fire of the guards!” and in seconds the enemy was mowed down, cut down to nothing.

I Awoke in a great deal of pain, having a bullet fly through you has that effect but also having a large embodiment of rubble slowly suffocating you whilst you bleed out also has that effect. I was stuck with no help in sight, gunfire was lessening slowly which meant that everyone in this school was slowly being taken out bit by bit and my time wasn’t too far off. Fear was present but not the biggest emotion running through me, it was just a subtle feeling in my ray of emotions. Dying is a scary thought, but having others die around you drowns that out with a large portion of sadness. I thought of the fact that we had been here for months and just now that I was finding my footing here, it would all get ripped out from under me. Some people call it fate, I call it unfair luck.
Daniel
I carried John all the way to the medical bay, the fight was basically over now, Jacks forces along with Benton’s had drove off the enemy, it was just stragglers that now faced a threat. I put John on the operating table, his leg bone was snapped clean, he had lost a large portion of blood and was running out of time, John however remained unphased “How are you so calm?” he grinned at me. “I just escaped death like 3 times tonight, there have been 3 moments where I have thought I would have to say goodbye, yet I live, and I’ll live through this too." I couldn’t help but smile, his faith in himself and everyone around him hadn’t dwindled in his brush with death. He was genuinely wrapped “how are you not bothered, a lot of students just died protecting this place.” Johns smile dampened but didn’t leave completely “they didn’t do it for this place, they did it for each other. If this is the next generation of fighters, I’ll fight for them forever.” He was right, although tonight’s event should never of happened and was a tragedy, you couldn’t help but admire the way that everyone came together.

8 181Cennet's Cyborg
Jared Ugo, a child genius under the nickname ‘Ban’ is caught between his own haunting past and a bleak future. Whilst he dealt with the pain of guilt and suicidal thoughts over the years, a storm was quietly brewing. That is, until the person closest to him passed away in an accident. His mind plunges, but alas, this creates an opportunity for him to close the distance between him and his mother, a chance to seize the motherly love he’s yearned for the first time in his life. But that hope would be trampled over as he finally meets the ghost of a man forged from his own sin. He struggles to stay sane as the revenge-driven father seeks to mentally break him down.
