I lied,,,,whoops! this is part 1 of the last chapter of the book! btw, the parts where it seems like no someones talking but has no quotation marks, is Trevor Contains: yelling, fighting, Chapter 24. Redemption (Eclipse) We all walked back the way we came, side by side. I held Xander’s hand as we walked towards the main area. Trevor was on my left; he was letting his mind wander. Brainstorming every possible outcome of the fight we were volunteering to start by walking into sight. I was watching the images flash in his head. Some of them were us victorious, others were us failing. Some of them are triumphant but at the cost of one of our lives. Some of the ones where we fail we all die. Other failed attempts where Wonder and Cooki are captured. Then the images stopped. Do we have a plan? “Not at the moment but we could use one.” I answered, everyone looked at us then went back to staring ahead. I can see that they have the place surrounded. They are on standby. I guess they had the same idea that we are going to come to them, there waiting. “How many?” I asked. He has ninety-seven employees on guard. thirty-six of them are unarmed. He doesn't have any of my kind with him. Strange. I’d thought he would at least have bono khoroksa phano hamjakya with him. “That is weird. I thought the himnarios were like blood sealed to Mr.Morningstar.” Look at you knowing some Kokborok. And no we are not blood sealed to him we are supposed to be loyal to him and that weird science lady. But we can change our minds. “Yeah, how close are we?” We just enter those doors at the end of the hall and we start the fight. “Ok, thank you Trevor for everything.” Of course Eclipse, thank you for showing me there is another way. I turned and looked up at him, “Of course,” he smiled wider, “Alright everyone listen up,” everyone stopped to hear, “Inside they have the place surrounded-” Trevor filled me in on all the details while I explained it, “ - with ninety-six employees. All of them are armed except for thirty-six. Mr.Morningstar and Liz are in the middle of the room being guarded by a batch of employees. They are all on the main floor, none are on the top so if we needed, we could use it as an escape.” “Alright so basically to sum up we’re screwed.” Zion said. “Hypothetity, yes, but miracles happen everyday.” I said. “But we don’t even know what day it is, or how long we’ve even been here.” Wonder added. “We’ll find out when we get out. And we will get out.” Cooki said. I turned to look at Xander one last time if we didn’t make it through this. Wonder and Zion were hugging. Ash and Cooki were holding heads and saying goodbyes. I looked into Xander's hazel eyes. I don’t know what I’d do if I ever lost this, If I couldn’t wake up everyday and see him. I leaned forward and kissed him passionately. Once I pulled away I stared at the door. We all stood in a line in front of the doors that behind them had the room that held our future. I took a deep breath. “Sive vivimus sive morimur amici in aeternum manebimus. If we live or die we will remain friends for eternity.” I said. “Let the games begin.” Cooki said, and we walked towards the door. My heart pounded in my chest. Trevor walked in front of us and stopped a few feet back from the door. Then he ran at it full force, the door busted open with a loud bang and the war for our freedom had started. I let go of Xander’s hand and ran after him. The employees that had been guarding the door were now crushed by it being slammed into them. Trevor ran to a group of employees and bit down on one. The employee threw his staff in the air, surprised by the attack. I reached up and caught it. An employee jumped out at me but I swung the staff and smacked him in the head making him unconscious. I looked around me and saw all my friends fighting as well. Two employees were trying to sneak up on Wonder. She slammed one in the face with her elbow and grabbed the second’s head and threw him to the ground. Cooki was going crazy, tackling employees left and right. Zion had a staff and was zapping employees that got to close. Ash was more classically fighting the unarmed ones with fists. Xander also had a staff but he was swinging it into peoples faces. As I was watching my friends fight, an employee jumped me. They tried to shove me down by pushing my shoulders down. I gasped and grabbed their wrists and flung them over my head. They slammed into the concrete floor. I quickly bent down, grabbed the staff and clicked it on. I shoved it into their face and a wrenching scream followed. I held the staff up as a warning to any nearby employees but there were none. I quickly realized that the employees by me had all been taken out. I took a good look at the room and saw that most of them had been taken out by us if I had to guess there were fifty-four left. I ran over to help someone.
Wonder was being cornered by three employees. I ran over to them and whacked them on the back of the head with the staff. “ Thanks!” She said, a staff was thrown up in the air. Wonder jumped up and caught it then ran over to Zion. I looked around at the scene once more and saw that we were winning. Mr. Morningstar was standing in the middle with Liz but without guards-those were the guards that Trevor had taken out first- Mr. Mornigstar looked furious. Mr. Morningstar turned to Liz and whispered something into her ear. She smiled and reached into her back pocket. She pulled out a walkie talkie. She clicked the button on the side and said something into the walkie talkie. I stood there confused till I heard Trevor. THEY’RE GETTING MORE EMPLOYEES! ABOUT FIFTY MORE! Suddenly fifty more employees busted through the doors. All of my friends watched them swarm in and look their eyes on their chosen target. About ten employees went to each of us and the rest went to guard Mr. Morningstar and Liz. They came charging at me. The staff barely did anything. An employee came down and swiped my arm, burning the skin. I gasped and stumbled backwards. They surrounded me, backing me into a corner. There is nothing I could do. I was going to die here. Another employee swiped me on my leg. The electricity burned my skin like fire. Blood seeped through my skin and colored my jeans. I dropped the staff I was holding and stumbled backwards. Then I slipped. I slipped on that same stupid piece of paper I did the first day we got here, when I was running down the stairs from Trevor. I scrambled backwards on the floor into the corner. I pressed myself against the wall. The employees grew closer and closer getting ready for the kill. My breath sped and my heart pounded. The last time I was about to die, I didn’t really care so much. But now it mattered to me. It mattered if I didn’t get to see Xander ever again, If I didn’t get to laugh with Wonder and Cooki. And unlike the last time I almost died, this one would hurt. The electricity would burn every inch of my skin. I looked up and the employees who were now only a few inches away. Then suddenly one fell to the ground face first. I looked down at the employee and saw a bite mark on the back of it’s head. My pounding heart started to beat normally. My sped up breath went back to how it always is. My face went up in a smile as I looked up and saw Trevor standing there smiling too. The employees trying to corner me were staring at us confused. Ready? “Always.” Trevor then ran into the two employees on his right shoving them into the wall. They screamed as he tore them apart. Then he turned to the eight on his left and ran after them. He bit the closet two in half, then he went for the last six. He ripped their limbs off quickly then threw them to the other side of the room. Once he was done he trotted back over to me. Get on “What?” Get on my back and grab that erm stick “Oh ok.” I grabbed the staff next to me and stood up. Trevor bent down and I jumped on his back. From up here I could see everything, the whole scene. Wonder was going feral attacking any employee in reach. Cooki was tackling all employees near her and throwing them into a pile. Ash was fighting still with the unarmed employees and taking them out easily. Zion was now more violently shocking them, swinging the staff so that it shocked them in the face. Xander had dropped his staff and was using his own electricity to fight. Mr. Morningstar and Liz were looking more angry by the second.
