Rise of the Maximals: extra

Freedom Fighters

In the end Duel Academy was one of the last places the Decepticon's bombarded and took.

At first everyone thought the invasion of aliens was a joke and laughed it off.

Then came the killings and panic began to set into the student populous, but still most thought it a hoax and waited till the news channels said so.

Then they came, huge metallic robots with eyes red as blood. Almost all of the students tried to run for it, to escape what would be inevitable. But they where captured all the same.

Around seventy students tried to fight back.

Fifty where killed on the spot. The rest where taken with the other students and forced to work in a labour camp.

That night only three students escaped by sheer luck and chance.

The three of them when on a hiking trip for extra credit and when they saw the monsters come, ducked into a cave and sheltered in the tunnels.

Heather shivered in her Ra yellow jacket wishing they could be back in the dorm where the three should have been by now.

"Are those things gone yet?" The blind girl asked teeth chattering from the cold and wet. She sighed in relief when someone sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, she happily leaned into the warmer males friendly embrace.

"Sorry DraGal but it looks like those robots are settin' up a base camp." Heather smiled a little at the firmer southern drawl of her best friend and the nick-name, then she buried her head into his jacket wishing her brother would hurry up and come back.

"Im back." Heather jumped at her brother's voice right in her ear.

"Don't do that Peter you know I cant see you coming." She hissed but she felt relieved, she hated the fact he had gone off to try and find out what was going on.

Hassleberry gave Peter a questioning look, wanting to know what had happened. Peter looked away a sad look in his eyes, Hassleberry nudged him and mouthed

'How many?'

'Part from us none' the part dino duellist's eyes widened, only the three of them had managed to escape this, this HELL.

"Has anyone else got away?" Peter looked away not wanting to tell his sister and Hassleberry's grip on her shoulder tightened.

"…We're the only one's aren't we." It was a statement not a question and when they didn't say anything country to it, tears started to roll down her pale cheeks.

Tears for the ones these monsters had killed

Tears for the ones tortured by them

Tears for the ones that where lucky enough to escape

Tears for them.

And when the two males saw her crying then they to broke down, tears flowing freely down there faces as well as the three hugged seeking comfort.

And that is how the three fell to sleep that first night, clutching each other as if fearing that the metal monsters would come crashing into there subterranean hide away to rip them away from each other.
