Meatball Moments: Corruption

wow, the new chapter is mindblowing. I like it!

 

Chapter 20

Garnet placed a stolen map on the table. Yomc grabbed some markers, which attracted the foreigner's attention.
"Wait, wait, wait. Why are we using markers?" Garnet sounded alarmed.
"Unlike you, right now, we don't have plastic strategic stands." Homie answered.
"So, we're probably over here." Yomc crossed out a forest and labeled it base. "Here's Survival." He encircled the whole Survival area in black. Survival was located on the other side of the map, so it was expected that they'll have a hard time getting there.
"However, if we go there by foot, we'll probably be dead once we take ten steps out of the forest." Jonachu pointed out.
"Yeah, that's a big problem." SilentArrow agreed. "The enemy has the Reader."
"Oh! I know!" John raised his hand, waving it. "We can make a teleport machine!"
"What?! Absurd." Garnet scoffed noisily.
"You forget, we're the people of the JH server." John grinned. "We always get comebacks on those who oppress us. Always."
"Who'll volunteer on the making of the teleport machine?" DWG asked.
"I suggested it, I'm making it." John turned to leave the room and enter another one.
"I'm going, too!" Map volunteered, following John.
"I can help out a bit." Bunnie took her friend's spear.
"We'll go." Demon said, grabbing Hubble's arm and pulling him to follow Bunnie. Hubble was concentrated on talking to his sword, which was musing about Brodyquest.
"All of us will participate in making the teleporter." Dao declared. Nobody couldn't argue.
"So, if they manage to make that teleport machine," Yomc muttered, "then we can just sneak in and destroy that generator."
"True, true, but what if it's a trap?" Athens asked his friend.
"Ehhh, let's stay positive for the moment."

John already had a plan in mind about the teleporter. He drew it on a piece of paper. It took a while for him to draw and label each part. Map and Bunnie helped.
"I'm thinking that it should be small, portable, convenient, and functional." John nodded to his own thinking.
"We can't make a large machine. It would be too risky, time consuming, and uneconomical." Hubble shrugged.
"Yes. And, fortunately I thought that we can use that!" John pointed to Claire's spear.
"This?" Bunnie raised it slightly above the ground to show it to everyone.
"It could provide needed energy."
"It can..." Bunnie handed the spear to John. He grinned.
"Once we create the teleporter, I can have- no, I mean, we can destroy that power generator and get help." He resumed scribbling names on the labelling part.
A few people wondered what John was thinking before he abruptly changed his statement. John finally finished his drawing.
"And, I think we can do this!" John cheerfully held up his drawing. Everyone within two meters from him leaned closer for a look. Everybody else couldn't see. The ones who saw the plans nodded to each other in awe and agreement.

Rieuan, together with his fellow commanders, looked at a holographic screen with the position of the soldiers. There was, like, a whole army guarding the place. Rieuan tsked unapprovingly.
"Take away two battalions." Rieuan commanded. The first and the second battalions disappeared from view. It left the last one hundred soldiers on guard. At least the area was a bit small but not too big. However, one hundred soldiers cannot defend the place.
"What are you doing?!" Alias exclaimed. "That is one of our valuable points!"
"You cannot sacrifice that!" Aihow agreed with Alias.
"This is what the enemy knows." Rieuan said calmly, repositioning the platoons.
"They know the more powerful layout. The layout you just removed!" Aihow angrily answered back. "Of course, they'll have more power than us! They'll bring all their weapons here!"
"I know what Rieuan is doing, let him be. I'll explain." Reetu defended his co-ruler. "If we are weaker than they thought, somehow they'll think we'll be easy to crumble. But I don't know what he actually has in mind."
"Will you put a surprise?" Fries asked abruptly.
"Actually, yes." Rieuan replied, not breaking his concentration. "Send the engineers to build a decoy."
"What? 'A decoy'? Have you gone mad, Rieuan?" Fries barked.
"No." Rieuan and Reetu simultaneously answered.
"I'm starting to think you're twins." Alias suddenly commented.
"Heck, no." Reetu denied instantly, doing it in a straightforward manner.
"Why do you think we are twins?" Rieuan shifted his undivided attention to Alias.
"Both of your names have the same sound of first syllable." Alias counted with his fingers as if naming them.
"Most likely a coincidence." Reetu hissed.
"You both do the same thing at the same time." Now, there were two fingers up on his right hand.
"I can't explain that."
"Never mind."
"So, we will only have one decoy here." Rieuan said.
"I see what you're planning to do." Aihow spoke.
"Good. Our surprise will be placed here." Rieuan pointed to the decoy.
"Actually three surprises." Reetu said. "That would be better."
"Yes! Three surprises!" Rieuan grinned at Rieuan, and then looked at the other three commanders. Aihow, Alias, and Fries anticipated what they would be assigned to do.

/**/

After a few hours, they were all standing in the cabin to admire what piece of technology they just made.
"This thing teleports us into Survival?" Athens skeptically looked at the small contraption that looked like an Eye of Ender. Well, except that it was cybernetic in nature.
"We can't really make a real teleporter. We need a teleporter here and then someone should break into Survival. Problem is, Garnet said something about Reader." Map said.
"Yes, Reader is a reader, obviously. It allows you to see your user ID, and allows you to see your real IGN. They found Wiki and Joey because of that."
"May they rest."
"Don't worry, trust me. This takes us to Survival." Dao said. "It's programmed with /server survival."
"Okay. Best of luck." Spyke said, raising the artificial eye of ender. The cabin rebels went closer.
"Equipment?" Spyke checked.
Everyone fumbled awkwardly on their weapons. All affirmed.
"This is only one shot." Dao said. "The reason why all of us will go is because we need all the force we can get. We do have Claire's spear. Bunnie will use it to bend the will of the enemy and turn them against each other."
"Yes." Bunnie held her scepter tightly on her left. Her flame sword was on the right hand.
"If we lose, then..." Yomc sighed.
"Keep positive." Athens assured. Spyke threw down the eye of ender. Blue smoke diffused from the shattered pieces of the teleporter. Once it cleared, nary a trace of the freedom fighters was left, but the torches still burned.

PS: Sorry for tardiness. I’m sick, and school doesn’t want me to finish third year high school. It matters a lot when you’re tasked of having responsibilityover the guarantee that 36 students will enter 4th year.
And, I just realized something horrible. I'll have to bombard you all with bonus chapters xD
And, as usual, comments?

 

Oooooooh. Your chapters are getting better and better, especially since I appear more often ;)

 

I think I died lol

 

Chapter 21

The place targeted by the last twenty-one rebels was busy, as usual. There were bright lights illuminating the buildings. Soldiers carefully looked at each other's user identification codes with Reader. Their engineers and technicians were busy fortifying the center, the power source. Lights like the one used to call Batman were seemingly shining on random places as a security measure.

All of them reappeared just inside the fence of Survival. They immediately dived behind the bushes before the lights can shine on them, except Rockor who went for a large acacia instead.
"Okay." Dao whispered in his comm. "Snipers, report."
"S11 here." Ganja replied quietly.
"S12 ready for support." Gallade said.
"S21 is already climbing a tree." Rockor panted, reaching the top. He positioned awkwardly on the branches. His back rested on the trunk while his left foot was on a thick branch, almost at level with his head. His right supported his body on another thick branch. "I'm on the only acacia tree on the east."
"S22 currently looking for a suitable perch for assisting Acacia." SilentArrow reported.
"You can take the oak tree on the corner nearest Rockor." Mira pointed at the aforementioned tree. SilentArrow stealthily went it.
"You two," Dao ordered Ganja and Gallade, "go to the other corner."
"Yeah, going." Ganja answered and left, Gallade hot on his heels.
"So, what do we do next?" Mrcee asked.
"Let's wait for the recon reports."

After a while that seemed like millenia, Gallade finally spoke in their communications channel.
"I almost got spotted." Gallade said.
"Duck your head." Ganja advised. "Get over there, I go to the top of that building."
"You'll need a spotter."
"Okay, be my spotter."
"What do you see?" DWG asked the snipers. "S21?"
"Other than my neck aching, I see a redstone powered gun, kind of what they used in the helicopters back in the jungle."
"I confirm visual on a second... uhh... what will we call it?" SilentArrow hesitated to give it his own name. "Turret?"
"Okay, that's sufficient." Homie nodded. "Ganja, Gallade."
"We see only one turret here." Gallade answered.
"It also seems like this place is underprotected." Ganja added. "If you'll observe closely, there are a few people. No one seems to emerge outside the building."
"That's odd." Garnet commented rather loudly. DWG, Homie, and Mira all put their hands over Garnet's mouth.
"So, around three turrets and a suspicious small defense force." Map said.
"Let's take the opportunity now, right?" Kick made an expression of uncertainty, shrugging.
"We can." Dao agreed with a slow nod. "Okay. Mira, Gthang, DWG, the three of you circle around the perimeter. Hubble, Bunnie, Demon, you guys go in the opposite direction."
"Okay, got it."
"Everyone left, take out every enemy you can."

/**/

DWG and company ducked and hid behind the bushes when the spotlight almost shone on them.
"I hate those lights." Mira grumbled. "I wish I can eat chicken right now."
"I wish I can prepare tacos." DWG agreed, creeping silently under thick foliage. He was the one at the lead.
"Shh, guys, they're saying something." Gthang hushed. Dylan immediately stopped when he almost crawled and touched the boot of an enemy soldier.
"Hear that?" One of them raised his weapon. The other lowered his with a chuckle.
"It's probably a rabbit."
"Do rabbits say things about keeping your mouth shut?"
The one who laughed a little quickly replaced his lighthearted attitude to an extremely serious one. "Turn your Reader on."
There were two very faint beeps. Mira froze in her spot. Gthang and Dylan were pleading to the name of Minecraft that they wouldn't be discovered.
"I don't see anything." The first guy said after a while of scanning their whole range.
"See? Rabbit!"
"I'm just saying, what if it isn't a rabbit?!"
"A meerkat?"
"Dammit, Noel." The soldier who was already doubting that the noise was a rabbit grunted. "Are we in a desert?"
"I don't know, Rick. Remember, we were hastily brought here? Almost everyone else is a soldier of the First Division!"
"Let's just get some burgers and talk later." Rick grumbled. Both men marched away.
"Dao, I think we're dealing with dumb soldiers again." Mira finally eased up.
"Dumb, but dedicated to their cause."
"Hey, didn't you notice something? Their Reader didn't see us." Gthang interrupted.
There was a moment of silence between the three before Mira spoke again. "Yeah, you're right..."
"So, their Reader now is limited to actually seeing people?" Garnet chimed in. "That's news."

/**/

"Are they inside the Survival fence?" Alias asked. Three commanders were standing in front of a screen. It was the schematic of the buildings with moving circles on it. Those little yellow circles were people.
"Yeah." Fries tapped an icon on the screen and enlarged the image of the area.
"I'll sound the alarm now." Aihow said before pressing the usual red button.

/**/

The alarm blared all of a sudden. The soldiers went chaotic as they tried to search for the cause of red alert.
"They found us?" Demon gasped.
"Most probably." Homie grumbled, and then muttered something about the alarm's volume.
"Well, if we continue creeping around here, we'll be found before we can reach the generator." Daorack said. "Let's fight."

There are 21 of you left! Who will be the lucky survivors? FIND OUT IN THE LAST CHAPTERS
Next chapter: possibly a moment concerning the power generator.
These chapters right now aren't the best, I know they're fokin short. I'm currently problematic over my planned faction, which I'm not even sure if I will make one. I'll make it up to you.
Comments?

 

pls me surviv.

Anyway, the chapters are getting suspenseful. Put the next one up already c:

 

Great job on this chapter C: *brofist*

 

"A meerkat?"
Okay only 21 peeps left
Time to get pumped
Yeahhhhhh
Don't know whether I will die epically or live epically

 

Chapter 22

"INTRUDER ALERT!" A random officer barked at his subordinates. The soldiers then scrambled everywhere looking for the hidden team, occasionally checking the bushes. Some of the last members of the small rebel group sprang up from the thick foliage and swiftly killed all soldiers trying to find them.
"Snipers, fire at will. Everybody else, look for that generator." Dao ordered before moving out.

Bunnie, Demon, and Hubble set out to immobilize some opponents. As they jumped out of the confines of the greenery, Hubble batted away a flying yellow sphere of death that seemingly came out of thin air away. CMB³ yelped in protest at its owner but the blade hit another orb.
"I hate you, master." Chocoloco Meatball Baseball Bat grunted. Just at that statement from the living non-living thing, Hubble swung his green sword around (almost clashing with Bunnie's sword and cutting Demon in the process) and sent an almost invisible enemy soldier to the ground.
"N-nice one!" Demon stammered after a second of confusion.
"Thank you!" Hubble grinned. The two boys pinned the guy on the ground and let Bunnie mind control him. She put the sharp end of the spear over the poor guy's heart. Gradually, his eyes turned blue and his weapon also miraculously changed from yellow to blue. The person with a bent will stood up and fired his gun at his own comrades, encasing them in a blue sphere and effectively killing them.
"We gotta love this scepter." Bunnie smiled.
"We need at least ten more mind controlled guys to help us. I don't know." Demon shrugged.
"Why not take everyone we see?" Hubble innocently suggested.
"Great idea!" Demon high fived with Meatball number one. Bunnie just sighed and shook her head subtly.

John went on a killing craze immediately after Daorack issued a fight at will order. SilentArrow trailed his sights over an enemy, string tensed up to launch an arrow, but reduced to just watching. John had killed his target brutally. SilentArrow even heard him yell.
"That was for my friends!" John shouted at the corpse angrily, then ruthlessly attacked another.
"He could easily be the most valuable warrior." SilentArrow said softly before firing at a dangerously close enemy. Rockor covered his sniping partner by shooting at another guy sneaking up on him.
"I know right?" Animoes nodded to the oak tree before engaging into a sword fight with three enemy troopers.

"Ganja, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Gallade asked.
"I'm shooting at a lot right now, so I may be thinking what I'm thinking!" The sniper answered, the volume of his voice increasing in every word because he was trying to shoot a rapidly moving person. '"Spill it."
"Don't you think they're retreating to a certain area?"
Ganja and Gallade stared into the battlefield. There were some soldiers chasing their own friends with their blue weapons. Bunnie and her company followed. They watched the Demon Blood sword wielder protect Bunnie. Hubble was actually roaring fiercely at the enemy. They turned to Rockor and SilentArrow, who were doing an excellent job of supporting the team.
"Dao?" Ganja called the head administrator's attention.
"Yes?" Daorack answered after a moment.
"The enemy is retreating."
"I'm assuming they're going to fall back to what they're protecting."
There was a pause. "Okay. We're cutting through it."
"Aaand I only count around 30 guys left."
"That's a lot." Dao thoughtfully said.
"Yeah... John went on killstreak mode." Gthang replied.
"Okay. Guys, wipe everybody out! We're going to win!" Dao ordered. It was followed by a war cry and laughs of triumphant men.

/**/

The three commanders watched from a little room with only a big screen to watch what's happening, three chairs, and a questionably large box full of cheese on one corner.
"Aihow, get them off!" Fries complained at the mozzarella bits on his coal black uniform.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of cheese." Aihow frowned.
"I like fastfood more."
"Okay, but burgers have cheese in them, no?"
"Yeah, I know, McDonald's is delicious."
"Yo, Aihow, can you get me some of your nachos coated twice or thrice or maybe even four times with cheddar?" Alias requested.
"Sure thing, Alias."
Fries watched Aihow stand up and walk to the box. For a brief flash, he saw a young teenager in Aihow's place. Fries immediately questioned his mental stability upon seeing it, mumbling about possible mania. Aihow tossed a package of nachos to Alias, who caught it without breaking his concentration on the screen. Fries saw an arm, but not with the long sleeves of the black coat they usually have. Just a short sleeve. His jaw dropped in shock when he saw the face of the commander.
"Aihow, thanks... ehh, Fries, you look like you have seen a ghost." Alias said. This snapped Fries out of his trance. He saw the others in their normal Corporation uniform and normal faces after that.
"Oh, it-it's nothing." Fries replied.
"Don't do that right now, please. Rieuan and Reetu are expecting us to protect this." Alias gestured at the central building on the screen. "And it seems our friends here are getting close."
"Their leader is very close!" Aihow almost dropped his mozzarella bar.
"Okay. Gloves ready?" Alias asked.
Aihow fished out a pair of black silk gloves from his coat pockets. When he put them on, thin cybernetic wires in the gloves glowed yellow, but only for a moment. Fries and Alias followed, and the small wires glowed for a second. Fries, however, dropped one. When he crouched to get it, the glove he already wore slipped off, much to his chagrin. Fries eventually wore them after a minute of being clumsy as heck.
"Are you okay?" Alias was doubtful that Fries was actually okay.
"Yeah."
"So, are we ready?"
"Ready." Fries smirked.
"I am too." Aihow replied next.
"Rieuan and Reetu are depending on us." Alias said. "We're going to go out there."

/**/

Homie took out a 4-Creeper force explosive charge out of his pocket and tossed it to Mira. The chicken eater caught the C4 and then passed it to Garnet.
"Dao!" Garnet shouted. "Catch!" He tossed the small satchel. Dao got it next and then pressed a small button, similar to what a grenade pin does when removed. The head admin threw it overhead, and then it landed by the power generator of the forcefield.
"Run!" DWG yelled and did the action himself.

John had finished off almost half of the defending 'army'. He drew that much force from anger. That rage was for his dead friends; Albino, Sera, Claire, Roc, Wiki, Joey, everybody. When he saw Dao, Garnet, and the remainder of the staff planting a Charged Creeper-force bomb on the generator, he stopped. His furious expression transformed into one that meant 'vengeance satisfied'. When the staff and Garnet ran away from the bomb, he put both hands on his ears, but didn't turn around. He watched in joy as the generator exploded. A moment of silence was replaced with cheers of victory.
"Nice job!" Jonachu high fived with SilentArrow.
"You the man." SilentArrow laughed.
"We all did a good job!" Hubble hopped in joy as he enveloped his last surviving friends in awkward hugs.
"I didn't expect this to happen so fast." Yomc commented.
Suddenly, there were creepy laughs originating from the destroyed generator. Garnet's face instantly expressed horror.
"What's the-?" Kick asked before interrupted by a terrified gasp.
"Don't tell me... this was all a trap!" Garnet spun around to face the burning power source.
"Oh no..."
"Why so surprised?" One of the three emerging people asked the rebels in a mocking manner. There were three destroyed chairs in the supposed power generator. A large albeit broken screen was also present. Flames gave these three a cool but horrifying impression. Soon enough, the faces of Weapons Commander Aihow, Military Commander Alias, and Order Commander Fries came into clear view with smug smirks.

PS:
QUESTIONS. I NEED ANSWERS. IF YOU ANSWER I LOVE YOU (PLATONIC LOLOLOL) no seriously
Want bonus chapters? Yes or yes?
If yes, what do you want them about? I have these:
- SilentThief's point of view through his death
- same Silent's afterlife and the arrival of the valiant warriors
- some secret shizzle about something I will not spoil that will probably happen in Chapter 28 that involves Silent again
What else can I explain/ write about?
Also, I left a trinket for you to figure out in the next chapters. Just look at Fries :p

 

Chapter 23

From their sniper perch on the building rooftop, Ganja and Gallade gasped. The three commanders standing by a burning 'generator' were big problems to their escape.
"Ohh man." Gallade panicked in his place. "We got to help!"
"I'm trying to find a window where they'll line up from this angle!" Ganja argued. "Let me get my bow!"
"Here." The spotter gave the bow to the sniper.
"Can we move to another place?"
"Of course."
As the pair tried to push themselves up, they struggled, but found themselves in a very sticky situation. An invisible force was holding them in place to the ground. In no time, they weren't able to freely move a muscle, like they were living statues.
"I can't move!" Gallade grunted, trying to counter whatever entity was pushing them down.

Meanwhile, Rockor and SilentArrow had the same problem as the other pair. However, Rockor had the biggest problem out of the four, positioned in a preposterous manner in the trees. There was something good about having your feet on the ground. Being up in a tall acacia tree, uncomfortably sitting on branches, and worst of all, arm unable to move. The arm holding his shooting weapon was fixed to place. He secretly envied SilentArrow, who had lowered his bow while staring at the commanders in fear.

"Why are you surprised?" Alias asked again, idly pulling at his glove and flexing his fingers. "Your moves were read."
"No, this can't be!" Garnet staggered backwards in shock. "All this time?"
"Always. There's something good about lying to the whole army, you know." Aihow stated. "I don't get it. It was obvious from the start."
"We found out you were only disguised as one of us." Fries recounted to Garnet. "It wasn't too late. We happened to know what you know, so we planned every scenario. This moment was foreseen, and it was the one that would most likely happen."
"And we plan to take you prisoner."
Their three snipers and one spotter appeared out of thin air in front of the three. Somehow, their position was altered to a kneel, hands behind them, but still unable to move. Their backs faced the commanders, showing their mixed expressions; anger, panic, and anxiety. Dao gripped his blades tighter as Alias drew out one of the yellow 'water' pistols and aimed it at Gallade.
"You wouldn't." Dao snarled.
"Oh, yes, I would." Alias was about to pull the trigger when a large ball of blue energy vaporized the gun.
"You will not do that!" Demon happened to yell first before Bunnie could open her mouth.
"How foolish." Aihow chuckled. Alias grinned a malicious one and held his hand out to Gallade.
"What are you doing?!" Gallade screamed and writhed in the invisible restraint. Before he could shriek out of fear again, a small ball similar to the dreaded engulfing orbs appeared by his hand. The glove was glowing yellow, too. The ball launched into the air and immediately expanded upon contact and taking Gallade in, and then shrank to nothing.
"No!" Ganja shouted when Fries was about to do the same. Ganja was next to go. The soldiers Bunnie had hypnotized with her best friend's spear were killed all at once by Aihow's own gloves of a fate worse than death.
"I won't let you do that again!" Dao bellowed, charging at Aihow, who was about to kill SilentArrow next. The one in charge of weapons and gadgets easily dodged Dao's offensive slashes. The last staff members immediately assisted. DWG and Gthang attacked Fries first. Radeon and Mira tackled Alias to the ground. Homie and Garnet went to help Dao defeat Aihow.
"Heeeey!" Radeon shouted. He stood up and ran to Rockor and SilentArrow. Adrenaline granted him temporary strength, making Rockor and SilentArrow look at him wide-eyed. Radeon put the two on his shoulders and ran to the others.
"Can you move now?" Radeon asked.
"Yeah..." SilentArrow sighed in relief as he pushed himself up, and helping Rockor stand up.
"Run now! Escape while you can!" Radeon barked and then spun around. Before he could take one step forward, an orb was already homing in on him. He died.

"Crap!" Map grabbed everyone she can reach and ran full speed, knowing she was the fastest runner in the team. She grabbed John and Jon. John grabbed Nyan, who was holding Spyke. Jon dragged Apezord with him. The group was running at Scout speed, but it didn't evade the attention of the enemy. Alias pushed Mira away and sent her to wherever those spheres take people. Alias blindly fired one at the rapidly moving escapees, but only managed to cause an explosion nearby. Alias was initially shocked, but smirked again as he launched another one. The second explosion knocked Map off her feet. The domino effect soon took place, sending them all to fall to the dirt. DWG saw this, infuriating him.
"I'll do anything for the server!" DWG yelled, amd then tackled Alias again. The commander grumbled about dirty uniforms. Dylan was about to punch him but he caught his fist. DWG wasn't granted time to retreat. He was already in a yellow ball, and went to the point of no return.
"This is bad!" Gthang gasped. Fries grabbed the admin's wrist, and mimicked Alias' actions. Gthang died after.

"Get up! Get up!" Athens shouted, helping Nyan up. More explosions coming from Alias effectively immobilized the group.
"It's what they want! Don't slow down!" Yomc pulled Spyke up.
"We have to help Dao!" Spyke drew her sword out and ran towards Dao. However, Fries sent a ball after Spyke. She completely ignored it, killing her. They were about to avenge Spyke, bit stopped as Dao was pushed to the ground. Dao was defeated. A sphere from Aihow finished him off. The staff group was gone by that second. The freedom fighters were unable to process it.

Seeing their vulnerability, Alias, Fries, and Aihow sent more spheres to explode near the team, making the last rebels lose balance. When they fell to the ground, the three commanders teleported to mere yards away from them. Some of them suffered sprained ankles, hurting backs, and spinning vision.
"Well?" Fries said, looking down at them.
"Did you just forget about me?" Garnet asked the three. True, his ego was hurt. Fries responded first by teleporting behind Garnet and restraining him by his arms.
"Back to the point here." Aihow rolled his eyes. "What should you do right now?"
They frowned in anger and resentment. Yomc was first to throw his weapon to the dirt. The others followed next as a sign of submission to the Corporation.
"Good choice that you surrendered." Alias murmured. The surviving enemy soldiers quickly cuffed their wrists and escorted them, including Garnet, away.

PS: Same PS as C22. :I Look up. Please answer, we're nearing the end.

Chapter 24 (important message at the end!)

After ordering the other three commanders to do the work, Rieuan and Reetu had been sitting on a couch in their temporary house, watching the news. Free time was rare to come those days. They had decided to spend the day off, but with their uniforms still on. The two current rulers had agreed on spending it in their office. Unfortunately, they had to remain awake for any new updates on the Survival decoy. Reetu, bored to death, decided to clean the whole office. He swept the floor, mopped it spotless, and arranged the bookshelf. Rieuan assisted Reetu in the abrupt cleaning, and on numerous times, lost balance due to his drowsiness.
"Careful." Reetu caught Rieuan before he really fell to the floor.
"Thanks." Rieuan regained balance and walked to the kitchen counter. Reetu returned the cleaning materials to the closet, washed his hands, and slumped back on the couch with a tired moan. He sat up and started watching the news. The anchorman was still talking about the recent changes.
"If this guy keeps talking about the rations, I swear that I'm going to doze off soon." Reetu mumbled sleepily. "Where's the remote?"
"I don't know."
Reetu groaned in laziness. "I'll turn off the TV." He stood up, manually turned it off, and sat down again. Rieuan briskly walked back, a tray with two mugs on them.
"Coffee?" Rieuan awkwardly handed a mug of creamy latte to Reetu, which the latter accepted with the same amount of awkward energy. Rieuan sat opposite to the other.
"Am I the only one who's been thinking this, Rieuan?"
"Which?" Rieuan raised a brow.
"What Alias said. About us being... brothers."
"It's just something they like teasing us with."
"No... we almost sound like the same, think the same..."
"Ehh... probably just a coincidence."
"It just... bothers me much. When I'm around Fries, I see all of you differently."
"Like what, Reetu?"
A completely unexpected ring of the telephone caused their hearts to beat faster than a galloping horse. Rieuan spilled coffee on his coat, annoying him. Reetu almost dropped his mug.
"Remind me to lower the ringing volume of that telephone." Rieuan grumbled as he went to the comfort room to change.

Reetu carefully placed his mug on the table and answered the loud phone.
"Hello-"
"Rieuan, good news!" It was Alias. His tone was jubilant.
"This is Ree-"
"The rebels attacked this place as you and Reetu predicted!" There was a faint woosh in the phone. "I'm running around in circles because I'm so happy!"
"Alias."
"...yes?"
"This is Reetu, not Rieuan."
There was a very long pause. Alias stopped jogging in a circle, and then stared at Aihow and Fries. The two looked at each other and shrugged. Reetu didn't even bother breaking the ice. Rieuan had finished changing, so he walked out of the room.
"Reetu, who's on the phone?" Rieuan asked, but the other ruler didn't reply. Rieuan snatched the phone away and pressed it against his ear.
"Hello?"
"Anyway, I'll tell you what happened, Reetu."
"No, no, this is-"
"Reetu, they attacked. We killed this server's last staff members, and then they surrendered!" Alias gladly reported.
"Oh?!"
"Yes!"
"Yes! We don't have a problem anymore!" Rieuan cheered. "Reetu! They surrendered!"
"Wait, I thought I'm talking to Reetu?"
"Just- ah! We'll get there. Tell the news, broadcast it, whatever." Rieuan slammed the phone down. He grabbed Reetu on the way to the other building.

Meanwhile, Alias was glaring quizzically at his phone when Rieuan hung up.
"Am I crazy, Fries?" Alias asked.
"I don't know." Fries promptly replied. He muttered something about a key while going through his pockets for the hundred thousandth time, removing everything in them. There was his phone, a whistle, a card, his gloves, and, oddly enough, a TV's remote control.
"Am I crazy, Aihow?"
"Probably." Aihow answered just for the sake of answering.
"Is it just me, or their voices are getting more and more identical than before?"
"Just don't mind it." Fries returned the things into their respective pockets.
"Goodness, why did you steal their TV remote, Fries?!" Aihow shouted.
"I didn't know I had it!" Fries defended.
While the two commanders were arguing, they didn't notice the commotion with the soldiers and the surrendering rebels. John and Mrcee had stirred up chaos. The former kicked a soldier in the face oit of vengeance. When they tried restraining John, Mrcee entered the fight by butting his head against ine of the soldiers holding John.
"Hey hey, what's with the remote?" Alias also ignored the situation just meters from him.
"I'll confess, I stole it." Fries admitted sheepishly.
"JOHN! NO!" Animoes yelled, drawing the attention of the three generals. A marble was sent to kill John. When John disappeared after the ball shrank, Mrcee followed suit. But Mrcee was standing very near to Nyan, so one sphere claimed two lives.
"You... bastard!" Apez screamed. The others were shouting at him to stop, but Apezord didn't listen. A fourth person died after the surrender. The officer who killed them tsked, shaking his head.
"You know, you're prisoners of war, so all you have to do is OBEY US!" He walked to Rockor amd hit his head hard with his gun.
"What. The. Heck?!" Kick yelled furiously, catching Rockor, because of one reason, amd one reason only. He was standing nearest to the unconscious person.
"If you continue to disobey me, he'll suffer the same." The officer pointed his gun at Rockor.
"ENOUGH!" Fries bellowed, and fired an explosive orb at the officer. It exploded in contact with him, so he died a pretty, but gruesome death. It caused the rebels to fall down again due to the shockwave. Fries was angry, first of all, because of inhumane treatment. The second reason was because his mind lapsed again. He stared there in fright.
"Fries. Calm down." Aihow lowered his fellow commander's arm, looking at him with concern.
"W-what did I just see?" Fries stammered.
"It's stress. Rest." Alias recommended. Fries slowly walked away with Aihow. "Hey, you! You're in command now!" Alias pointed to a random lieutenant in the area. "Take those guys to the headquarters!"
"Sir, yes, sir!" The lieutenant responded with a stiff salute and made the rebels board a military van. They were allowed their hands to be at their front as they would have a hard time sitting in a vehicle with their hands at the back.

"So..." Garnet spoke in the van some minutes after leaving Survival.
"I just remembered." Bunnie said, hinting venom. "You killed Claire."
Hubble, Bunnie, Demon, Athens, Rockor, and Kick shifted their full and undivided attention at Garnet.
"Uhh... I didn't mention this..." Garnet's head hung. "I kind of... asked her if I could kill her."
"How polite is this guy?" Map asked Kick.
"Polite, but impolite." Demon answered with a grin.
"Well, he did try to impress Misfit when I was her 'boyfriend'." Kick said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Wait, you were Misfit's boyfriend?" Map abruptly changed the subject.
"Ask Yomc! He was the one who assigned the task of being Misfit's BF!"
"I can explain." Yomc put his hands up in a defensive stance.
"Yeah, that's what you said to Saul that morning." Garnet snickered. Yomc and Kick went red.
"Well, you were the reason why we couldn't walk properly for hours!" Yomc snapped, recalling the time when Saul exacted his revenge against the two.
"Hey!" The driver yelled. "I'll have you all killed."
"No thanks, I choose life." Garnet sulked in his corner. "Where are we going?"
Athens decided to clap thrice after that question.
"To the Headquarters. It's a package. Have a tour of the Headquarters and a meet and greet with Commander Rieuan and Reetu."
"Great. Just great." Kick sighed.

PS: OMG. There were actually 24 people left, not 21, but meh, some died. Only 12 of you left, including Garnet. Only 7 shall survive.
QUESTIONS. I NEED ANSWERS. IF YOU ANSWER I LOVE YOU (PLATONIC LOLOLOL) no seriously
Want bonus chapters? Yes or yes?
If yes, what do you want them about? I have these:
- SilentThief's point of view through his death
- same Silent's afterlife and the arrival of the valiant warriors
- some secret shizzle about something I will not spoil that will probably happen in Chapter 28 that involves Silent again
What else can I explain/ write about? :) if I see a comment with no suggestion I will explode

 

Just, make me survive. Also, post the chapters faster god damn it

 

I died... :( noooooo i wonder, will wd all be coming back at the end of the story?

Does that even need to be answered? YESYESYESOFCOURSE
They all involve Silent XD anyway, I would like to see his death from his POV, that would be cool.
