Author's notes: I've worked out a sort-of schedule. Every night except for this weekend i'll try to update at 11 pm.
Approximately 0.7 seconds after the initial announcement, everything went to garbage. While
civilians were doing nothing, Heroes were running like a maniac was coming to saw their faces in two. Nova and Brightwing had panic in them, but not as much as the others.
"It's only one respawn point! Don't panic!" Nova has tried to yell.
Even Kael was limping as fast as he could out the door.
Another explosion with blue smoke rang out.
Nova turned to her Fae companion. "That was the last out-of-battle respawn point. Meaning if we die, we respawn in a Battleground and we'll have to find a way out. So try not to die, ok?"
"Okay, Friend Nova!"
"Okay, we gotta go to one of the destroyed points. We need to capture one, kill the rest. Interrogate the captured one, and find out why they're doing this. Follow me."
Nova ran out the door, with Brightwing at her heels. As they ran, they caught sight of the other Heroes. Sylvanas had taken to stealing Billie, riding off into the metaphorical sunset with him. Jaina was climbing a tree with Tyrande, making a hasty-looking ice-fort that would obviously melt in a few hours. Arthas was sobbing like a baby. Kael summoned Al'ar and flew on him.
"Almost there!" Nova called.
Before them was a scene of just simply destruction. There was no other word for it. Where there had once been a hall with a red carpet, was now a pile of rubble and ash. Where there used to be cots that you woke up on after being resurrected, all that was left was a blackened mattress. Blue smoke rose out of every corner, making it nearly impossible to see.
Out of the corners of their eyes, they spotted them. The lost Minions.
"Nova!"
Nova turned her head.
Jaina, Tyrande, Sonya, Li-Ming, and Li Li had come running over.
"You did not think you were fighting them without us, were you?" Sonya teased.
"Less chit-chatting, more fighting." Sylvanas and Kael stepped out from behind a bush.
"Oh! Sylvanas! Nice haircut, real ripped-out looking." Li-ming teased. Sylvanas scowled. "And Kael, I love what you've done with your face! The makeup you used to try and hide the bruises really adds to the fact that you look like an ugly woman." Kael furrowed his long eyebrows.
"Real funny, 'Ming. Now do you want our help or not?" Sylvanas growled through gritted teeth.
"Absolutely, yes. Just keep Kael's neon-red cat claws away from me. I see those scratches on your face, Windrunner."
Nova turned to keep an eye on the Minions. She let out a gasp as she realized…
"Guys? They just noticed us...and they're getting closer...with really big swords."
"Nova, now is not the time for one of your sexual innuendo- OH MY TITANS!" Jaina yelped.
There was a whole horde of them, walking closer, and closer, and closer...with swords bigger than one of Brightwings wings!
"Chaaaarge!" one of them screamed.
"Oh no." Li Li muttered.
Charging at the heroes, the Minions spread out to take on one hero at a time, strategically. Sylvanas shot some arrows, but all they did was shatter against their armor. "What?" was all she managed to get out before they swarmed her, and a CLANG! Could be heard in the air. The Raven Lord's voice flooded their ears. "Already you have lost a teammate. Do not fail, Heroes, or the events will be...disastrous."
Kael had gotten distracted by Sylvanas turning into blue dust. The minions stepped forward, and one sliced at his face, reopening a wound he had gotten that night. The only thing you could use to see if he was bleeding was the moonlight and the verdant spheres floating around his head.
"I got you, Candle Ears!" Li Li yelled, and threw some brew at him. The Minions turned and faced Li Li.
"Kill the healer!" they growled. 90% of them turned to charge at the young girl. In no time, another CLANG! Was heard.
"This is not going very well!" Tyrande yelled as the Minions deflected her arrows.
"You're telling me. All they do is deflect my bullets!" Nova responded.
"Step back! I'm going to use a Pyroblast!" Shouted Kael'thas.
Kael'thas thrust both his arms to his right hip, bent his hands, and began creating the ball of pain.
What they all didn't know, was that there was another explosion rigged within the rubble, just in-case something like this happened.
All the minions ran out of the way as the Pyroblast shot past them.
"The fire ball's not stopping!" Sonya yelled.
"It won't! I expected them to be dumb enough to just stand there, like they do in battles!" He said.
As the Pyroblast touched the tip of the rigged bomb, it set of a giant blue explosion.
Nova couldn't breathe. Whatever was in the bomb didn't burn you, it destroyed the respawn point and then suffocated you!
Nova looked at her hands. They were disintegrating into blue dust. She looked around at her teammates. Sonya was clutching her throat. Li-ming's arm was already blue dust. Kael'thas and Tyrande had already died. She looked at Brightwing one final time before disintegrating completely. The dragon was grabbing a Minion with her tiny hand and killing it, forcing it to die with her.
