18. City Life Arc: Sun Shadow's New Base

Wow life is short, but drinking milk is shorter.

Hello and welcome to this new chapter for our little zombie fic, I admit that now that I have some control I have some good ideas for this. It might get abnormal for some, as they're are still secrets that need to be revealed and a giant mystery that will come up. Last chapter I said that this part of the story might be the end and It might be this chapter that will end. Its like Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden when Naruto went on the training trip with Jiraiya for two years. The timeskip is still undecided so if you all would review or PM on the length then that would be good.

Now lets remember that this is part one, before the T.F.T.C I actually thought the story through to the end and it seems good. Also I am now accepting zombie creations! If you had a dream zombie that been going in your head then bring it over to this story and we'll see what happens.

So um...this might be the last chapter for this story. Til the new one. After timeskip we'll see how strong our heroes will be so don't expect an update in just a few weeks I say a few months til I get it out. Lets do this!

Also I will finally be trying the Italic emphasis thing that everyone does and see if I could do that.

Chapter 14: City Life Arc: Sun Shadow's New Base!

One Week Later. September 24th 8:24 P.M

It has been an entire week since the group arrived to New Chicago, and the Eds, Kevin, Lee, Techlin, Rolf, Marie, and Dante joined the Sun Shadows, a secret assassin order that is in the process of rebuilding with their new leader and the current Head Shadow of the entire clan, Jon Capler. Once they joined all, but Techlin, was assign someone to train under to get stronger, though the next day they questioned why the need to get stronger?

'' Well you guys, even with guns, are weak. Don't think that because you have a big, fast, and/or strong gun that you are going to make it in the world especially this one. You are going to need skills that could save your life, I mean I use my blades and you all saw how good I was with them I can pretty much take on anyone I want and have a chance to survive, well not the top four. Still I rather use my blades more than a gun.'' Their group leader told them making their morning a downer.

Nonetheless their trainers didn't care if they were the most depressed person in the world and still went to training starting with their basics, though Jon was too busy to help Dante or Edd so left Edd with June for the week and Dante to tinker with some things he needed that could use an upgrade and knew he could add them.

Ed and Sarah training started with B having them throw some punches at him and had to admit that the siblings could pack a punch, though not enough to hurt him in the least. In the alley they met he trained them, but after the two accidentally punch a hole in a wall they ran like hell, he had to admit again that they was a little more stronger than he thought. First was for them to start with weight lifting for both arms and legs and he'll see from there, Sarah got a lot less weights due to her small size.

Eddy started teaching under both Cori who made him wear tight giant rubber bands that was contracting his elbow bending making it nearly impossible for him to bend his arms straight. Cori explained it was to build strength as he needed it for both arms and legs. He told him to start stretching his legs and to keep doing it for a few hours. Eddy complained but when Cori looked at him with a look that made him sweat and he continued feeling scared by the man and didn't question, La was there watching them til he was done. After four hours Cori told him to stop and Eddy immediately dropped over, having tried to move his arms at hour two when Cori told him to do so and Eddy wasn't able to even move a centimeter feeling that the bands was becoming tighter. Eddy was by far the most tired he ever been in his life and he didn't want to move, luckily La told him to sit up and to dry to at least grain a few poison ivies to dust and that took two hours and La was able to give him the antidote just in time for it to not show on him.

She continued to tell him to add Vaseline and to continue grounding til the ivy was paste and when it was an hour later, he added liquid next and put it in a small vile and the dark green liquid was complete.

'' What is this suppose to be?'' Eddy asked shaking the liquid in the vile.

'' Its your first poison. Its poison ivy in liquid form able get enemies a rash and to make them itch. Though it will take a while and its made for undercover jobs. To add more effect you have to add more Vaseline, but you must boil it to make it stronger and to not have too much liquid.'' La explained and Eddy had to smile at his achievement. La continued her lesson in making the poison and how to do it correctly, giving him a notebook and said to write down the ingredients for the poison and continued on with training for the week. Him with Cori for a four to five hours and with La for four hours.

Kevin and Marie received training quite well, with Antony forcing Kevin to fix some broken cars that he had and he did though if Antony turned one on, then he'll blow up. He showed Kevin all his mistakes, not sugar coating the disasters that could happen, he did some things right but he had mistakes. The reason he was good with their current vehicles was that he didn't need to know much as they all had little to repair, the only things he did was add more plating to protect from bullets and was able to fix a busted engine though half bad.

'' You have some major mistakes but you fixed them up over time, its take a while to get you up to my level, but you could be there. And we're not going to bombs until you get this done, and boy, Marie is a lot more better, though she could use help to.'' Tony said to the boy glancing at Marie who was fixing an engine til black smoke popped up and covered her in ash.'' A lot of help.'' The mechanics practiced at Antony's Garage and Repair.

Rolf's training was more like story trading, sure Frantz taught him about the basics of ax attacks but that was it as Rolf was a quick learner. They spent most of their time talking about the old country and their hard times in the old world. They loved their families, love their lives, love doing hard work. They had so much in common Kevin said on the third day that they should just be brothers. They mostly practiced on the roof of Frantz tailor shop, which was called British Lining.

Surprisingly Lee was also following June and Edd, who was doing well for herself. Her and Double D received the same training working with anything ranged. June set up a few targets at various distance and told them to shoot the bulls-eye with one shot. She provided them with pistols which was M1911.. .45 handguns. They practiced at the shooting range that June bought that was behind the flower shop the siblings owned. All soundproof too.

The results were varying. At a yard, they both got it in one shot, two yards they again got it in one shot. Three yards took Lee two shots and Edd one shot, at four it took them both three shots, and five it took Lee one shot and Double D three shots. They continued to twenty yards and the results yield that Edd was more accurate by seven shots. June then set up multiple targets and timed them on how fast they could kill them all. It took Lee thirty seconds and Edd forty. June scolded both of them nonetheless telling them by even thirty seconds they should be faster. She held the targets for herself and got all head shots on the five targets in three seconds. She told them by the time their done they should be able to get five targets in three seconds too though she highly doubted them. They continued with the pistol June saying until they could get one shot head shots on their targets, they will not continue training on anything else.

At the end of each day, the group was left tired, broken, and the feeling of death looming over them day by day. They wanted to give up and never look back, but they knew they can't do that not when they needed to get stronger, to protect anyone they considered special to them. As they did this they also did the experiment that Antony suggested and few of them considered the choices okay. Both sides experienced the good and bad of working alone and together and they came to a decision.

'' May I have your attention please, Tech and I were able to finish reading the journals that we all have written in and came to a choice.'' Double D said gaining the attention of the group around the fire in Antony's garage. It was eight at night.

'' So do we stick together or go alone?'' Sarah asked.

'' Simply put, it a free choice. Double D and me discussed that we could live alone if we want to. I even suggested that we at least lived in small groups like Eds and Kankers can live together, and Kevin, Rolf, Nazz could be together. So the choice is basically we could live with people in the group, or just alone or with another person.'' Tech explained.

'' We know we can't stay in Antony's place and we have to get jobs that way we could live in an apartment or a little house.'' Edd explained, they have been doing missions and all had Cards so they could get credits. But they needed jobs that was full or part-time jobs and they could get a paycheck.

As they all settled they had to wonder what jobs fit them, some were considering working for their teachers like Edd and Ed were working in the bookstore and got paid nicely.

Before they could think more of it, they heard someone clear their throat and they looked in the direction of the gate seeing Jon standing there with his emotionless expression.'' Hello, I just came to inform you that I have a plan to obtain our new base, everyone else is preparing and is expecting us.''

'' Wait we strike tonight? Man can a week fly!'' Eddy exclaimed.

'' Yes it took some time but we are going to strike, meet us at Gate Eighteen. Also bring that bus you have, we need to bring our supplies in and stock up, once we get the place then we all might die later if we're not prepared.'' And with that Jon left leaving the group that needed to come to prepare.

'' Do you all wonder, why he doesn't tell us a thing about this place?'' Dante asked after the man was gone.

'' Yeah, but besides we just joined this thing I was expecting us to be left in the dark a little.'' Double D explained getting up and kicking dirt on the fire to put it out.

'' But still at least tell us where we're going.'' Eddy piped up joining Edd in kicking dirt on the fire.

'' He'll inform us once we get to the place.'' Marie told the short boy.

'' I hope so.'' Ed said as Eddy and Edd put out the fire leaving them in darkness. They went to get their gear, and empty the bus of their supplies and head to Gate Eighteen.

Thirty Minutes Later.

The new members of Sun Shadow was riding down the street in the newly named Shadow Bus. Jon came to visit in the middle of the week and saw it and suggested that it became part of the clan and also the War Machine. They agreed knowing how much of a help it would be, but it was still there's and if they wanted to take it, they could anytime, that was the agreement. The Shadow Bus was spray painted personally by Cori, who painted the whole bus black and also replaced the bars on the windows with reinforced steel. The trim was a dark blue and he painted the insignia on the bus' side, showing who owned it.

As they rode in the night they were able to use the HoloMap which was updated to half the city and costing them seventy-five credits in all. It didn't take long for them to reach Gate Eighteen. Gate Eighteen was also known as Gate to Hell City around locals, a large portion of Chicago was covered from the walls, but the city was known to be large an even larger chunk was left unprotected and despite their efforts the city was overrun with zombies and left it at that as a punishment for scheduled executions for criminals.

From what they heard from locals was that the city also had a bandit clan called the Townie, a start up clan that was becoming trouble and became harder and harder to face each day. There was also some reports that the Towers were funding the bandits giving them weapons and supplies. They pretty much control the city on the other side.

They all assumed that the Townie control the place where they were going, and if they were right then it might be the base of the bandits. It was then that they saw the giant gate in distance, they heard firing and assumed that zombies or bandits were being shot at. People didn't live close by due to the gun fire, so it was made as a base for military personnel. There was no one on the street but patrols that glanced at them and turned back to their duty and there was few vacant merchant stands. It was soon that they reached the Gate to Hell City where they saw a large group of people numbering in what Edd could count as thirty.

The people was dressed in mixed clothes of black and blue, they also had face mask that covered half or fully covered their faces with holes for eyes. As the Shadow Bus stopped in front, they saw Jon walking forward with their teachers. He waved for them to come over.

'' Jon who are all these people?'' Ed asked the Shadow Head as they meet them. It was then that they saw Jon wearing a black suit instead of white.

'' Cori and I have been doing some recruiting, all the people here are skilled and deadly, they also have loyalty to us and accept their lives as part of the Sun Shadow.'' Brunzo explained for Jon.

'' How you did that?'' Lee asked knowing that loyalty even in the world before the outbreak was hard to come by.

'' We found them as people who had no way of life, no way to live, people who lost everything and want to live. People no one cared about and had no purpose. They accepted gladly becoming brothers and sisters, they now have friends to depend on, they now have family.'' Jon explained with the few close by looking over with admiration to their new leader.

'' Well that's nice and all, but what off us? There has be some sort of ranking for all us, you can't run a clan without rank.'' Marie said remembering one thing from Edd's boring classes.

'' Yes I have, I'm the Shadow Head, leader of this clan and all the future ones where I'll then be the Shadow Emperor. Your teachers are called Elites, they lead the clan in other affairs and have control of everyone but myself, they also are control of a cell. Then there are you guys. Since your training under the Elites you are third in command in the clan and are called Lieutenants, if there are two then their will be first and second in the cell. But lets worry of this later, right now we have a base to take over come on we'll explain the plan. Cori tell everyone to load up on the bus and bring the supplies'' Jon said moving to a small table.

'' All right bitches, now its time to load up with people and supplies! Everyone who can, get on the bus and I want someone on those damn turrets! Lets move you fucking bastards!'' Cori exclaimed with everyone, but Jon, having a sweat drop on their head. However the people all exclaimed ''Yes Elite Cori!'' and did as toad.

'' Wow these people must be loyal to not attack him for calling them that.'' Rolf said wondering if there was others like him.

'' Trust me, I explained to them before he came that he cusses a lot and that he will cuss at them and even me. I explained for them to try to adjust and to not get offended.'' Jon explained walking to a table that was blueprints of some buildings.

'' What is that? The place we're taking over?'' Eddy asked, him, Ed, Tech and Double D were the only ones who came while the others went to know the new recruits. They went to a blank board was standing on supporters and just a few away was a projector hooked up to a laptop. The projector showed Google Earth on the blank board and was zoomed in on a large building with what seemed like a playground in front and the tab above read LaSalle Language Academy.

'' Yes, as you may have guess its also the base of the Townies, there is a large bounty on the leaders head. So we are to take over and destroy the Townies. If we succeed then we'll have lots of credits to start adding on the base for protection. You see this is a school and there are five streets that have an entrance to it. The rest in just houses. The large area here is the playground area. The streets that have an entrance to the four streets surrounding the schools are blocked by wooden gates with reinforced steel on the outside and an entrance big enough for vehicles. The houses are also defended on the opposite side of the gate and house the Townies.'' Jon started.

'' The school, as you all might have figured, is housing the leader, the armory, and the main guard of the leader. The whole place is like a fortress. No enemy has gone through without being killed on sight and zombies are easily killed from a distance. The buildings that are on the border also have members on the roof as patrol as well.'' Jon went on about the plan marking a black line across the borders.

'' The playground also have camps for people who want to join. They have dozens of them around on the playground. Their numbers number to the hundred. About a hundred fourteen people to be exact.'' Jon stopped to take a breath.'' Techlin, Dante, June, La, Ed, Eddward, Cori, Frantz and I will split into two and take out the border guards silently. We'll have silencers on our weapons and Tech, I assume will use his blades.'' Jon saw him nod the hook-blades on his sides

'' We go slowly into the buildings and go out through the sides if we can. Once we reached a building close to the border we climb up and take out the ones on the roof. We continue to take out all border guards without being seen and when that is done, we call in the Calvary.'' Jon pointed to the bus now full of Sun Shadowers and supplies.

'' They charge in to take out the ground forces and we storm the inside, taking the leader and the base.'' Jon finished explaining the plan.

'' Okay its a good plan and all but what if everything goes to hell?'' Techlin asked.

'' Then we fight the hell. We barge through the gate and we take over. We'll lose a lot more if that happens and my current plan reduces that significantly. If the backup fails well, we all might die.'' Jon explained the backup plan to them.

'' I don't know about this.'' Eddy said unsure of the plan.

'' Let me explain who I am. I'm Jon Capler, Agent Six of the List. The reason why, is because of my planning and expertise in war strategies. I can plan my way in every situation at the time. But that's half the reason I'm number six. I have tapped into an understanding of technology and the human body that no one, but me have tapped into. I'll explain later.'' Jon said, checking his watch.

'' One more thing, its a clear night and the moon will be giving off light, will we be more easily spotted?'' Edd asked, knowing it was a silly question due to everyone dressed in dark colors

'' Don't worry, that part of the plan is being covered. Right about...wait for it...now.'' Suddenly the wind blew a strong gust that nearly knocked the group over and thundering was heard from above. Everyone looked up to see dark storm clouds moving in fast, blocking the moon making everything darker than before. Rain followed, coming down heavily with the wind making it colder.'' There was a scheduled thunder storm that will last til morning! I planned to this point cause the storm will give more cover. Now load up and lets get to the school!''

'' Man the guy is an expert strategies.'' Eddy commented as they ran back to the bus to get out of the rain.

'' Yep that's Jon for ya!'' Techlin said following after Eddy. Once they were in the bus, soaking wet and dripping.

'' Man this storm looks like its going to be strong tonight.'' One of the Shadowers said being a resident in Chicago for years.

'' Think there will be some flooding?'' A woman asked the one who talked.

'' Probably, Chicago is known for its changing weather. It could be the middle of winter and be as hot as a normal summer day.'' The man replied.

'' I'm not going to like winter here I know it.'' Ed muttered wondering that since they were close to a lake that temperatures went below zero.

'' Come in, over. I repeat come in you deaf ass losers.'' Cori voice rang out on the radio on the bus.

'' Yeah we here you, jackass.'' Kevin muttered the last part.

'' Don't think I can't hear you gay-biking ass boy!'' Cori yelled in the radio.

'' Give me that!'' Jon voice was heard as a clutter noise was heard.'' Everyone, the plan is for us to use the storm as cover, we are sending a convert team in to take care of the border, patrol and when the enemies are taken down, you all will move to come in the middle and start the fight. Our time here is now, for Sun Shadow!'' The bus full of people gave a rally yell as the gates slid open and they followed the Elites, who were riding in jeeps with a small roofs covering them from the storms. When the gates was open they followed after them going out of the gate and into Hell City, the gates slid behind them just as Kevin rode the bus out of it and with a mighty thud the gates was closed. They went past the few soldiers that was outside of the city and went by a heavily guarded checkpoint.

They drove on deeper in the city riding by torn down buildings that had seen better days. There was a few bodies on the ground with a few walkers eating off the corpse, not paying mind to the passing vehicles. It was a few minutes until they passed under an old and rusted train track with the train derailed into the building that was the entrance to the station. They stopped on an intersection with a row of shops on the right street, it was an abandoned Dukin Donuts, Ups store, Subway, and a convenient store called Stop and Shop. The jeeps turned to the parking lot and it was then that the ones needed for the convert mission came out with black cloaks and hoods up.

'' Okay, everyone we split into groups of two! June and Ed will take the west gate. Dante and La will take the north gate. Eddward and Cori take the north east gate, Techlin and Frantz the south east gate and I'll hit the main entrance! Does everyone understand?'' Jon had to yell over the crashing thunder.

They all nodded the wind started to blow harder making their cloaks fly out.'' We can't afford a mistake so put this ear piece on and stay connected.'' Jon quickly gave them the devices as they put them in their ear.

'' We can't accept failure for this part! Lets move out!'' Jon said and the group started to run to their positions and to execute the plan.

June and Ed. 30 Minutes Later.

June, Ed, Dante, and La were able to reach the a building close to the west gate and Ed peeked his head from around the corner seeing the gate and two search lights shining down putting some light in the stormy night. When the light came into their direction he ducked back into the building, before being spotted.

'' Whats the problem?'' Dante asked.

'' There is two search lights that could give you guys away and have a wide radius of lighting that could give us away.'' Ed explained and a flash of thunder came and it was then that he saw a church with a perfect sniper perch. He pointed and they followed his direction.'' If someone can snipe from there, you guys could get by without trouble.''

'' Good idea Ed, I'll head up there. You move inside and take out any enemy you can. Try and be silent while you do it.'' June ordered and made her way to the church bell tower.

'' Can you get the metal covering this off?'' La asked.

'' Easy.'' Ed replied going to a window with metal bars and grabbed hold of it in a steel like grip. Ed softly, but strongly pulled the metal and the bolts started to come off and soon that the bars covering the window were down and he was careful to not drop it. He looked into the darkness of the area seeing no one and lifted the window climbing in.

'' Ed, you okay?'' Dante asked once seeing the boy go in.

'' Yeah just dark, I got a small flashlight so I'll go on.'' Ed responded sticking his head out the window.

'' Guys I'm in position, Ed I need you to start taking the enemies inside the buildings so start your moving.'' June said to them via ear piece.

It was then that La poked out her head around the corner and saw three bodies that patrolled the walkway on top of the gate drop dead and the search lights stop moving. La and Dante moved across the street making their way to the north gate.

As the two moved into their position, June was still sniping from the bell tower on top of the church. She quickly took down the enemies making sure to be quick getting head-shots for each target, when she felt a click she cursed as a Townie was making way to the last dead body and was closing in, she quickly reload and looked down the sights seeing the man had somehow spotted the body and was about to yell til a bullet was shot between his eyes silenced him forever. June sighed knowing that was too close, June looked for more enemies of the west rooftop borders and saw no one, she could easily get half the north border, but that would be risky due to the distance and the chance of a body being discovered.

'' I'm doing all the work, at least I'm out of the rain and drying off.'' June muttered as the rain seemed to pour harder as wind started to gain speed. Thunder flashed every few minutes lighting the sky.

'' I have to admit, Jon has been surprising me for years, but this takes the cake. He planned this whole thing out to fit the storm scene and how long it'll take and knew that they would be done in just about an hour. Jon must really be some kind of strategist on whole different level.'' Jon complemented who long time friend's skill.

'' Ed, how is everything on your end?'' June asked through the ear piece.

With Ed In the Building.

'' Everything is going smoothly so far, no enemies I encountered yet. Inform the others that they seem to have some kind of bridge between windows that allow access across the buildings.'' Ed informed the sniper and crossing said bridge between the windows that was about twenty feet from the ground. He had to climb up all the way to the top to find it. He concluded that the Townies stayed in the buildings closer to the border.

Once he crossed the bridge and ducked through the small window, he landed softly on the ground the storm outside covering his sound. Ed looked around with the small flashlight and saw that the area was a large room with some weapons on the wall and four sleeping bags that had two occupants in one. Ed made the walls out to be a light brown and the floor was wooden. The door was just ahead of him. The two asleep were none the wiser as Ed pulled out two Five Seven Suppressed and aimed for their heads and fired and the breathing that Ed heard stopped and blood formed from both their heads.

Ed was slightly guilty but came used to it. He learned for his time from the start of the Outbreak to know that it was a fight for survival for everyone, if you're in a group then you might as well be lucky to have people at least have your back. The walls that protected the city was just a reminder that once you leave, you're on your own again.

Ed continued going to the doorway and putting his ear against it, he heard slight murmuring and music playing. Ed opened the door slightly and peeked through seeing a dark hallway and stairs on the right side leading down the stairs. Ed opened the door wider and walked out and softly closed the door behind him. Ed looked through the darkness and saw that there were two doors on the left side and a door directly ahead and past the stair. The first one was slightly opened sending light out and the music seemed to originate from the room. Ed moved closer hearing laughter and talk. Ed looked through the crack to see a dining room table with a few dirty plates and glasses with beer in it. There was a radio in the middle of the table with a few men around talking jovially and seeming to have a good time, too bad they were all going to die Ed thought sadly wishing that they could surrender and become allies.

' But they're enemies of the city, everyone here have been part of the Townies for a while and participated in many attacks on the city that ended with both civilian and military casualties.' Ed thought.

Ed sighed and held his pistols up and slightly pushed it open, it swung wide open and some of the more somber men looked to the door seeing only but darkness in the hallway. They ignored it, thinking it was the wind from the storm that go the door from the open windows. That was their last mistake. Ed walked in and opened fire on the first one he saw that was leaning in the chair and with chug of beer, the man fell back with his glass shattering on the wooden floor making the other men stop to see their dead comrade.

They looked to see Ed and they all was soon faced with a bullet to the head, with Ed missing a few shots but recovered hitting them on the target. They were too slow, but one man was able to become clear enough to charge at Ed with a ballistic knife and Ed dodged the first swipe, but didn't react fast enough the fast strike to the shoulder that grazed him. He winced a little and quickly hit the back of his head and knocked him out, when he fell he shot him in the head ending his life. Ed turned back to the room seeing blood starting to form from the bodies on the floor as glass was shattered everywhere, chairs was knocked over and the music still played soft rock that Ed identified. The music blocked all the commotion and he was in the clear. Ed pushed the body of the man who cut him into the room and closed the door.

Ed continued with the other two rooms with few enemies that were asleep or too busy to notice Ed, til it was too late. He ended their lives quickly with head-shots. Ed observed that there was exactly twelve enemies, with two in one, five in the second, three in the third, and two in the last one on the floor.

Ed made sure that there was no one left and moved down the stairs, slowly. He didn't hear anything that was signs of enemy. He soon came to the bottom corner which gave him the view of the living room and Ed gulped. There was two long couches across from each other with a coffee table. There was two Townies on each couch, sleeping. There was about five others sleeping on sleeping bags and one was awake and looking out to the storm from the window and leaning back and forth on the back legs of a chair. There was also another that was awake next to the other stairs to the bottom and he was awake and walking around. Ed whipped the sweat with the back of his hand, and slowly made his way down hopping the one walking won't wake up, they were big guys so when they drop dead, they might wake up the whole everyone on this floor and the ones downstairs.

' Okay, Ed the one on the chair by the window might be far enough for the others to not awake. So I need to get behind him and kill catching his body. Come on body you can do this.' Ed thought as he moved down the stairs and when he reached the floor he saw that the one patrolling went into the bathroom if the running water inside had anything to indicate. Ed took his chance and moved as quick as he could stepping over the sleeping bodies and moving behind the Townie with a raised knife.

Ed was quick and grabbed the man by the mouth as he struggled trying to warn the others. His cries becomes muffled and silenced as Ed put the knife right through his jugular vein and the man's blood sputtered onto his hands. Ed waited til the man stopped moving before he set his down on the floor. Ed saw that his hands was now soaked in blood.

'' Hey man, I thought you fell asleep leaning on the chair again. That was some party last night, especially with the ladies that boss keeps in those cellars in the base.'' The man that was in the bathroom was just a few feet away from Ed mistaking him for the man and haven't seen the body. Ed heard footsteps and felt a hefty hand on his shoulder and slowly turned his around.'' Man you alrigh-INTRU-'' The man warning fell once Ed's knife met his forehead instantly killing him.

The man still had the shocked face on his still expression and, with a disgusting squishy sound, pulled the blade out of the head and the man fell backwards. Ed made a grab for his hand but only got his middle finger just a few inches off the ground. Ed put the man down with a soft thud and Ed sighed, whipping the sweat that developed over his brow. Ed continued to the others killing them all before moving to the stairs and going down seeing nothing but the door and a hallway that was on the side of the stairs. Ed went down the stairs and looked down the hallway seeing a door at the end. Ed moved to the door and put his ear on it hearing nothing.

Ed moved back and opened the door, immediately pulling out his weapons once he saw movement and was met with a broom stick hitting him in the face. Ed was left in a daze but recovered picking the fallen broom stick and putting it back in the closet with the other cleaning materials that was in there. ' The house is cleared.' Ed thought with relief.

'' Come in, June. I repeat come in.'' Ed spoke in the ear piece receiving nothing.'' June are you there?''

'' Static Ed...I thought I lost you for a second Static. The storm is interfering with the transmitters. What is the problem?'' June asked breaking up when lightning struck.

'' No problem, I was able to clear the house of the enemy. What are my orders?'' Ed asked.

'' Jon said to just remain where you are until the main attack happens. I got hearing that Dante and La got to their section and cleared the enemies on the roof and road block, Jon was able to easily clear the main gate and is right next to you on top of the gate. Frantz and Techlin reported in just a few minutes ago on success in taking out enemies on their section.'' June reported sounding a little happy.

'' What of Cori and Double D, how are they?'' Ed asked worried of his best friend, knowing Cori could take care of himself.

'' They haven't reported in. We're all waiting for them to report in.'' Said June.

'' Thanks, I'll wait here til the primary attack.'' Ed said with a bored sigh, wanted to fight not sit around.

Oh wait! I almost forget. Jon wants us to put the weapons in and another to put the magazines in. Search thoroughly!'' June said with a chuckle as she cut off''' Oh Jon wants us to take all their weapons that they had and to check the ammo. He said to find bags before the boy could respond.

'' Thanks a lot, just stay up there and make me do the work.'' The tallest-Ed said to himself sarcastically and moved to take their weapons and ammo. At least he had something to do.

With Eddward and Cori.

Double D was put up with a surprise. The boy was paired up with Cori and thought that he may have not been a good match. He was loud and, personally, was somewhat of a jerk. He cursed and didn't care to who, like he was the king of everyone. Basically he thought Cori was an arrogant, dare he say it, bastard. That was his first views when he met him a few days ago. But after a while, he knew that Cori didn't know better. He mostly expressed himself with curse words cause he wanted to.

Jon, who in the middle of the week, visited him and asked for any information of his group. Edd was suspicious and reluctant to do so, but did, but only info that he wanted him to know. Edd wondered how his face look when Jon told him to write about everything, knowing the info he had was limited and that there was more. After doing so, he couldn't help but ask, not even thinking during the time, how he could consider someone like Cori a brother, with his many faults being mentioned by him.

He received a glare that would made Techlin's cold and emotionless stare seem like a scared kitten. Jon calmed down a moment later, explaining that Cori was like that by choice. He knew how to talk without cursing and, rarely, was a nice guy that could be friends with anyone he wanted. But he didn't like normal, anyone normal he just didn't like and he knew of how people express themselves in some way or another and when he wanted to, cursing came in. He expressed himself that way and was mostly loud and ignorant of who he was talking to.

Even one time, Jon explained, that Cori yelled in a stealth mission he and Cori took that made them fight a few dozens Jackals. It was easy for them, but he scolded Cori and each time they did a stealth he always acted out blowing their cover and gave up knowing he'll mess up on each one and accepted it.

That was what made Double D feel that him being paired with Cori was a bad idea. He knew Cori could take care of himself, but what of him. He wasn't as good as June and could easily be killed. But from the start of their mission to the gate, he was quiet and didn't make a noise the whole time. When they reached their gate, he turned to Cori to devise a plan.

'' Okay, so how are we going to do this?'' Cori asked the genius.

'' We could find a way into the buildings on each side of the gate and take out the enemies inside of the buildings and find a way onto the gate and take out them. We then moved to the rooftops and take the enemies we can.'' Double D said and Cori nodded.

'' What if I just try climbing onto the rooftop, pull you up when I reach the top.'' Cori simply said.

'' How are you going to pull me up?'' The young boy's answer was Cori showing his yo-yo to him.'' I'm sorry Cori, but how will this pull me up. I weigh to much and could break the string and fall, quite possibly, to my death.''

'' Look, you see the string and how it glints.'' Cori took out his flashlight and shinned and it did give off a glint.'' Its flexible steel, Jon made it for me and the yo-yos are also metal. So all you need to worry about is losing your grip.'' Cori assured him.

'' Its a good plan and shorter. Everyone else is done, but us so we should hurry.'' Double D said agreeing with his plan. Cori gave a grin as he turned to the building they were hiding behind and backed up for a running start. He ran and jump grabbing hold of the nearest ledge and starting climbing. Double D was amazed at the skills that he had. He wasn't able to see him past halfway due to the heavy raining.

Double D wished that it wasn't raining so hard, but had to admit that it was a good cover. He wondered how Techlin and Jon knew each other, they talk like old friends. He also noted that Jon doesn't display emotion at all, even when around friends and allies. His expression was always the same and his voice was stuck in that monotone. He wondered if he was a robot, but immediately shook his head at that, he did display emotion just not all the time. It was rare, like Eddy being generous in two days straight.

Edd's thoughts were stopped when he felt something hit his head hard, making Double D nearly cry out in pain as he rubbed the spot the hard object hit on his head. Edd looked and saw that it was the yo-yo that Cori held, the boy noted that it had the Sun Shadows insignia on it. Double D grabbed the yo-yo in both his hands and pulled two times and was suddenly hoisted up and had to stifle his scream as he was pulled above and was met with a smiling Cori's face.

'' Was it fun?'' Edd barely heard the man as he pulled him all the way up the roof.'' Okay, I'll cross over to the other side and take care of the enemies on those side of the gate. When you are done contact me, if I finish before you I'll call. We meet back here after we're done.'' The acrobat said and Edd agreed with the plan.

Cori stood to his full height and got out his eight yo-yos, putting four in one hand and the strings attached themselves his four fingers leaving the thumbs bare. He dropped all four onto the strings and started to twirl them around. It was soon that it was like two rings that were floating from his hands. The yo-yo master flung the yo-yos to the other side, extending to reaches five times the length of normal yo-yos and reaching the other side of the roof top ledge.

Cori gave a tug to see if they were secure and jumped off the roof top swinging across the streets directly under the streetlights and hitting the side of the building quite painful looking and quickly climbed to the top as streetlights followed to his last position. The lights continued moving, believing it was a bird or bat trying to get out the rain.

The boy that the man left behind was stunned not believing this man's abilities, they were beyond human.

Double D shook his shock out of his system knowing he had a job to do. He decided to keep his distanced and moved closer to the gate laid down on the wet ground, not caring if his clothes was wet and got his new sniper-rifle out. It was a present from June who said that they will need a weapon and that once weapon will be enough for them, she explained that she kept her weapon for five years and improving it to the point that it couldn't be improved any more. She considered it the strongest semi-auto sniper-rifle in the world, though it depended on the user if it was the best. She called it Draga83L.

She gave him and Lee sniper-rifles as a present for surviving the first week. They were to use it only and to make improvements to the point of it being like hers. He didn't know Lee's weapons, only that it was semi-auto due to her shooting for chest areas instead of the head. He was given a bolt-action sniper-rifle called M98B or M98B Bravo, a very powerful bolt-action rifle with a high-powered scope that came with it and was also Straight Pull Bolt. He switched the scope with an infra-red scope so he could see in the dark. It had a Bipod that was used for when he was prone. The young sniper looked down the scope after he set the Bipod up and saw that there was six figures walking on the rooftops all in his sight. He fired, killing one in a head-shot, bolted, and continued to do so with the other six. After pulling the bolt back he saw that there was more and continued to fire, after a few minutes he was able to kill ten moving targets in total with seven misfires.

Edd scolded himself a little, remembering advice given by June to Lee and him. When sniping remain calm and devoid yourself of emotion, don't let the environment get to you no matter how cold, dry, warm, wet, hot, cool or whatever kind of condition, and to be confident in where you are and to make sure you have cover from all sides. Snipers are known to be killed behind the back, more than the front or side. He faulted in everything, the rain made him jump when he was lining the shot and about to fire, he felt the need to look over his shoulder and sides, he felt the emotion when he shot which was fear that someone might heard the shots despite of the Suppressor. Those faults nearly caused them being revealed and even if they was the last ones, they still needed to have the element of surprise.

'' They reported in how many kills they made, and that totaled in fifty-six from all sides meaning they still had about sixty more left to kill.'' Edd said to himself standing up and seeing that he was wet all over.' Hopefully I won't get sick from this.'

'' Hey Edd, I'm finished over here how about you.'' Cori voice sounded through the ear piece making the boy jump a little, but made a replay.

'' I'm done on my side, so whats next, we still have ones inside that we need to take down.'' Edd explained.

'' Check the gate for entrances to each side of the buildings.'' Cori said.'' I'll make myself over there.''

Edd did so and looked through the scope seeing that there was a door leading to the building on the right. He guessed there was another to the one he was on. He decided as a last choice to snipe the ones on the gate and was quick enough before they could warn someone. Luckily he didn't miss, if he did then one would have been gone and the whole camp will know of them.

'' Nice job.'' Double D was scared out of skin, by Cori who was using all his wield power to not laugh luckily he had a camera in his hand so that he could laugh again later.

'' Never...'' Double D started.

'' I know, never do it again, you nearly scared me to death, gave me a heart attack, lost a fucking lung from screaming. I heard every damn excuse from someone being scared by me.'' Cori said and moved while Edd tried to calm his beating heart.

'' So now that we taken care of everyone outside, lets go in and take out the enemies. You take the left I take the right?'' Edd asked once he calmed down, though slightly.

'' Cool man, last one done is a son of a bitch for the day.'' Cori said jokingly, taking the boy under his arm swinging them on the gate. They split up and went through the doors and out of the rain to take out the enemy inside.

Double D sighed as he felt the warmth of the building watch over him, he knew that it was too dangerous to be relaxed but he couldn't help it, his cold body being met by warmth was just to relaxing. As he got out his dazed he saw the room, on the walls of the room was weapons, lots of weapons on racks. The boy thought that they when there was mass attacks that they come up and get the weapons and go out through the gate. Luckily, they weren't suspecting a stealth attack. Edd heart stopped when he saw the door open and panicked.

Nic was having a pretty bad week, he had a duty to clean up the mess on ground left behind by the slaves, his girlfriend broke up with him for some lame dick and he was made enough that he killed them both while they fucked each other a day later, had a small bounty on his head for running from the cops, killing a few cops and random people who got in his way. He lost his credits in the process losing all his money. Nic just wanted this nightmare to be over, the whole world was going to end sooner or later for him.

Nic heard a click and looked his right seeing the barrel of a pistol aimed at his head.'' Me and my big-'' He didn't finish as the gun fired sending his brains everywhere and his body dropped to the ground, dead.

Edd let out a sigh, despite his actions he was still against killing people. But he knew that in this world it was no time for hopes and hesitation, either kill or be killed that was how the world worked outside the gates of strongholds. This is the sad truth all his friends knew, survive and kill.

Edd shook his heads of the thoughts and moved on. He stepped over the body and out of the room as he saw the stairs that lead downstairs. The boy went down and after a minute met the door that blocked his entry and opened it, he froze once he saw it and quickly closed the door. On the other side was Townies and they were awake, he guessed he saw four in the room. Edd took a glance and opened the door a little and saw that there was four and that they were conversing of something around a table, not caring for the door behind them.

'' When Nic gets back, we could see if the others are ready, we'll sneak right in and take out the leader. Go take the reward and live like kings, they'll have to revoke our criminal status for this.'' The supposed leader said, chuckling a little.

'' Yeah, though I'm going to miss the sex slaves the boss let us have at.'' A perverted man standing next to the leader said.

'' At least he did that, there are only men in those whole thing, its like a sausage fest twenty-four/seven here.'' A man commented tiredly standing on the other side of the leader.

'' Don't worry, I'm sure that this plan will work, right Cane, this plan is going to work right?'' The man said like a loyal servant and the man identified as Cane nodded.

It was then that they heard a creak in the door behind and looked over their shoulders not seeing no one, Cane flashed his flashlight seeing no one at the stairs.'' Nic who better stop playing around.''

'' Hes not here, try again later.'' The Townies widen their ears and Cane flashed his flashlight a few feet on the right from the door to see no one.

'' What hel-'' The man that spoke tiredly was stopped when a bullet met his head. And another came hitting the perverted man that talked of sex slaves. Cane and the other reacted quicker and got their assault rifles out and was about to fire til they felt a bullet enter their hands making them drop the weapon. The one who seemed loyal dies with two shots to the chest and one in the neck. Cane looked around the room crazily wondering who was the one to kill three guys so quick and to shoot his hand. He was answered with a blunt object hitting him across the head and onto the floor. Cane was about to get up until he felt a foot slam down on his chest pushing him painfully to the ground.

'' All right Cane, I got questions and you got answers.'' Edd said threateningly to the man holding the gun to his head.

'' A kid!? My men got killed by a kid!?'' Cane said in outrage and disappointment.

'' Yeah you're next unless you answer my questions.'' Double D said and after a moment the down man grunted in agreement.'' Good, now who are you?''

'' Cane Fi, don't laugh at it. I run with the Townies.'' Cane answered.

'' Who supplies your weapons and supplies?'' The boy asked.

'' Some guys they call Towers Land, I just came here a few weeks ago.'' Mr. Fi answered the next question.

'' Where did you get the sex slaves and how many? Where are they know? What are their ages?'' Edd asked quickly

'' Calm down, I think they came from across the strongholds, some may not even be from one of them. There was at least twenty-six last time I checked but some been dieing for some reason I don't know. They are in the building underground in some kind of cellar. I think they range from twelve to thirty something. Can I go now?'' Cane asked impatiently only for his expression to change.'' Oh I get it, the other questions don't matter, all you want to do is get some from a few girls am I right?''

'' No, I'll let you go now...to hell!'' Cane didn't see it coming as Edd shot him in the head ending the man's life.

'' To bad you didn't ask specifics.'' Edd said crudely walking away from the dead bodies and down the stairs seeing no doors that lead to anywhere with no other enemies. He moved quickly taking out the Townies on each floor. Their was some that were awake and saw him, but he quickly quieted them and continued on. He was done after ten minutes and was left breathing heavily. He never killed so merciless before in his time, he was like some kind of cornered animal that killed the ones cornering him.

'' Get a hold of yourself Eddward, you know that it was just because you were angry at Cane. Yes he just set you off and you took out your anger on the enemy. Just calm down deep breaths, deep breaths.'' Edd took the deep breaths and calmed down, clearing his head.

'' Cori come in Cori, do you copy?'' Eddward asked via ear piece.

'' Yeah bitch?'' Cori answered

'' I'm done on my side, are you done on your side?'' Edd asked ignoring Cori cursing.

'' Sure as hell am, been done for a few minutes. I'll radio Jon and tell him that its time to attack.'' Cori said and clicked off.

Double D steeled himself and head back up he was going to snipe and not get caught up in the middle of the fight. The boy quickly hurried to the roof and saw that it was still raining, maybe even harder. He came to the edge of the roof facing inside the fortress and saw lights shining from the school and could see the bus with his thermal binoculars as the Shadowers start to departure the bus and sneak into the camps. It wasn't long before gunfire started and the battle began, the enemy was in the middle of confusion of the attack, probably calling for backup from the gates and inside the building. Edd quickly set up his sniper-rifle and to put support for the others, luckily June gave them their first modifier which was vital to this mission, it labeled the enemy bright orange and allies light blue. He found the first orange and fired hitting the moving target in the chest and sending him down. He bolted and continued.

Minutes Before the Battle.

Jon was sitting next to the entrance to the gate, waiting. The bodies of the enemy was everywhere downstairs. He admit that he wasn't quiet enough when he sneaked in, but he should have never shouted and woke up everyone. He was able to kill them fast enough before they can run out, but he was also able to put a E.M.P Dome on the entire base and put fake transmissions and even if they were able to, they would only get static. He was able to get the special chips on everyone weapons to shield them from the interference, without the others knowledge. He had to keep everything as secret as to the others as possible, they weren't ready yet.

The man that shouted ruined everything, body parts and blood was everywhere. He even heard someone call him a monster before he died, well he didn't care, he was already too deep in his research to care of what people thought of him. What he did a few years ago was make history and no one, but a three hand fulls of people, knew what he actually did and nearly half of them were dead, by someone he knew was responsible. The one who did it was good, but left clues, he/she was sloppy but was good at going off the grid. He suspected it to be the one behind the disappearance of all the agents.

The Shadow Head was cleared out of his thoughts by a beep in his ear and stood up opening the door and entering the rain. He pressed inside his ear and heard Cori's voice a moment later.'' Hey head shit! How was your shitty day so far?'' Edd was right the man can sure express himself.

'' Fine so far, what is your status on your side, everyone is done, but you two?'' Jon asked sounding impatient.

'' We just finished our side, you can commence the attack.'' Cori said seriously, no swearing meant seriousness. The man clicked off.

Jon saw the time on his left wrist watch and it read 11:57 P.M. Jon sighed, wishing that this was more of a challenge. It took three hours to do this whole thing where it would take a few more if anyone else planned and didn't have the right people.

Jon pulled out a small round object with a green, red, and black button and pressed the red dot, putting down the electric field and put it back in the opposite pocket of his pocket watch. Jon clicked the pocket watch in his hand signaling everyone of the attack. Somehow the rain kept pouring harder, curse Chicago weather. Jon didn't think hard as he saw the headlights of the Buster and jeeps coming. He went to the lever and pulled it with no effort. The gate opened slowly, making nearly no noise, the man had to admit that they did do a good job making it give off nearly no sound.

The vehicles entered and, from his view, saw the Shadow Bus stopped and let the others out. Brunzo and Antony climbed out after the Shadowers. They all was able to sneak in and go inside the tents and gunfire immediately started.

Jon couldn't hold back his smirk.' Stick with the shadows and the battle is already won.' He recite a part of a poem he wrote. He jumped off the gate and onto the ground in a crouch and walked calmly to the battlefield.

'' Techlin, Antony, Cori, and the Eds please met me in the front gate.'' Jon ordered nicely to the men he needed. It may have been minutes before the attack began, but he saw most of the camps burning and the bodies of the enemies on the ground. Sadly he saw a few Shadowers dead, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, they were family and they gave their lives for them, they will be remembered. But they and he knew the risk, there was a chance that some will die it would be luck if they suffered no casualties.

Jon kept his steady pace entered the gate that separated the playground and the sidewalk. He walked pass the wall with a small park on the right of him. He passed a small door that lead to the gym of the school and saw a small garden after he passed the door, there was a door with a row of windows on the right which had kindergarten over it. There was an entire row just above it as well. He passed that part and was at the main gate entrance. He noticed that anyone that was an enemy that tried to approach was quickly shot down before they reached him. Even if they get past they would be dead, by his hands, in a matter of seconds.

It took a few minutes of waiting in the heavy rain, but everyone he requested to come came to him and they waited for his orders. The outside was clear of enemies and the others were salvaging the weapons and ammo and clearing out any that hid. Jon gazed at the group in front of him, Tech, Antony and Cori looked bored of the easy fight and the Eds were the ones that looked a little tired, especially Double D, Eddy and Ed looked good enough to keep fighting. The cloaks they all wore over them gave them a mysterious look.

'' Okay, as the others gather the supplies, we make the final attack. The enemy knows we're here and are most likely preparing their defenses. There are two floors and the one in charge should be in the gym or cafeteria area. The top floor must have an armory and more Townies. We'll split up. Cori, Tech and Eddy are with me on the first floor. Ed, Double D, and Antony take the top floor. Any objections?'' They shook their heads.

'' Wait! On the building I was securing I was able to interrogate one of the Townies, he told me of how the Townies have sex slaves somewhere hidden in a cellar of some sort. So keep an eye out.'' Edd said quickly.

'' Alright lets get this over with, I want them all out of our base. Look for the slaves that Eddward mentioned as a second objective.'' Jon said turning to the metal doors and grabbed one of the handle. In an amazing show of strength he ripped the door off its hinges and threw it somewhere behind them. The small group entered seeing another row of doors that lead on to the first floor, there was two flight of stairs leading to the second.

'' Good luck guys.'' Eddy said as he followed after the others.

'' You too, don't die early okay.'' Ed said jokingly as he and his group went up the stairs.

2nd Floor.

Antony and the others stayed close to the wall and the man peeked around the corner, spotting a long hallway with three windows at the end, their side had the same windows though they were covered. There was rows of blue lockers on the right side and doors that lead to the classrooms. Antony motioned for them to follow and rounded the corner.

There was two doors opposite of each other and Antony pointed to Ed the left door, and Double D, the right door. Antony moved ahead to disable any traps that were ahead. The two Lieutenants did as told and made for the doors. Antony looked down the dark hallway, the enemy having turning off the light to try and get an advantage over them. The poor fools. Antony pulled out a pair of goggles and put them over on. These goggles weren't regular, Jon said that this was of Dante's making and that it took him for most of the week to finish it, he pressed the side of the goggles and a click and high pitched hum was heard as it turned on. Antony was shocked to see a different scene. The area that he could see was white and black, but he was able to see clearly and through the walls! He looked over to the door Ed went in and he was sure it was pitch black but now, he could see Ed walking around the beds that were empty, he was a bright white. He looked over to Edd and saw the same thing. The hallway he was in glowed the same white color and the lockers, that were probably painted were black.

It was then that he saw red that looked like a person, there was five and they were hiding in the rooms that were ahead. Antony felt a headache coming and took them off, the headache soon going away and his eyes adjusting to the dark. Antony steeled himself and put them on again, he acted fast seeing a string that was just a few feet away and how the line connected to an electrical device at the end of the lockers and that there was lines on the locker doors that would make the lockers open and slam, warning the others in hiding.

Tony reached in his backpack, pulling a black metal rod out and pressed a small button on the rubber handle and electricity coursed through it and it went back to being normal. He looked at the line and walked next to the side of the locker, hitting the line with the stick and a spark shot across the line through out the line and heard a slight click, he got scissors and cut the line and the nothing happened. Antony had to say that this was a poor excuse of a trap, someone who didn't know that there was trap would easily fall for it, but not he. He was a trap maker, and he was sure as hell the best of them. Another sad thing was that it was the only trap they set up. One lesson he'll teach his students is to not set up just one good trap, set multiple ones, even less effective, anything to keep the enemy off of you and distracted.

' I wonder if there are other settings.' Antony thought with a small smile. He pressed the button the side and the view changed to Thermal Vision, a little message was on the top corners displaying the name. There was normal Night Vision, Bio Vision, it shows only anything alive, Tech. Vision, the opposite of Bio Vision, and Stealth Vision, the one he was on first. He guessed that it spotted enemies and technological traps.

' Damn Jon had the Dante kid do this. I know Jon can easily do better with his bio-tech, but Dante could sure build something so technological advance, I wondered if the boy is a genius in this field. If he is, I have a few request coming in.' Antony's mind was racing due to the thought, he was too busy to notice the door on the sides of him opening, but the footsteps got him out of his thoughts. He took off the goggles and covered his eyes, the vision was on too long and his eyes were burning.

'' You alright?'' Edd asked seeing the man rub his eyes furiously.

'' Yeah I was trying out the goggles Dante gave me, they have a slight problem due to the eyes needed to adjust and can't be on too long.'' Antony explained.

'' May I use it, I might be able to stand it a little longer?'' Ed asked holding his hand out for it. The mechanic was skeptical, but gave the boy the goggles nonetheless. As Ed put them on he explained how they work and how there was five Townies in hiding and had a trap set up for them to come out and ambush them, they might have night vision goggles to let them see in the dark and get the drop on them.

'' Ed can you be our guide and tell us where to shoot?'' Edd asked and the young boy nodded.

The Elite and Lieutenants moved down the hall slowly, the man and boy followed close by Ed and the boy quickly made hand motion to the left and down, right and up. Antony took to the left and swung open the door putting a bullet through his head before he could react and he crumpled dead. Edd did the same thing, rounding the corner the man was hiding behind, hit the man behind the knee making him fall down. The next thing the man knew was that he felt a searing pain in his shoulder and was about to scream til Double D snapped his neck.

Edd soon realized what he done and dropped the man's body. He didn't know what came over him, he just felt a rush and did those things, he never attacked so brutally in hand-to-hand combat, he barely got the man a chance, plus the bullet in his shoulder was unexpected from him. Everything was so fast.

'' Double D, come on we got a few Townies to take care of still.'' Ed told the boy seeing him standing and shaking over the dead Townie.

'' I-I'm coming.'' Edd replied his voice shaky. He steeled himself and moved to the door.

As they continued they did the same process. Ed told them their exact location and they attacked, though Double D stayed with the pistol, not wanting to do what he did to the Townie to the other ones. It was soon that they were done with the floor and Ed did a sweep of the area finding no one alive.

'' There's no one alive here, the floor is empty. So much for Elite Guard.'' Ed scoffed, knowing they were weak. They probably survived just solely on defense and got arrogant in their abilities. Master B always told him and his sister that people who rely on one thing, become sloppy in the other and won't make it in battle.

'' Good lets go down these stairs and met the others downstairs, probably took down the leader already.'' Edd said, knowing with both Tech and Jon that the battle was over before it started. He was still not fully trusting Jon especially since they still don't know anything about him and his abilities. He seemed like the one who kept secrets only to himself and no one else.

'' Well lets...wait did someone hear something?'' Antony asked hearing a slight hum, and it was coming from the end of the hallway where they were at. It was loud and had to come from multiple ones. It was then that a loud thud was hard at the end and in the darkness they couldn't see. Ed put back on the goggles and didn't see nothing. He switch to thermal and gasped at what he saw. It was something huge. It stood tall to the ceiling and was the size of half the hallway. Ed flicked to Tech Vision and saw that it was indeed tech and that it was opening one of the arms and shot two missiles. One hit the ceiling halfway to them, but the other kept going to where they were.

'' Get down!'' Ed shouted, tackling the two Shadowers and going down the stairs just in time for the missile to impact and smoke filled the area, clouding them and the ceiling started to fall. The ceiling over the stairs started to crumble, Ed was the only one to notice but was too late to move as the ceiling collapse.

1st Floor.

The building shook with a loud boom that made the others look up seeing dust and bits of the ceiling to fall on the floor.'' What the fuck was that?'' Eddy and Cori shouted.

'' Trouble for the others that's what.'' Jon said knowing that there has to be some kind of explosion that Antony didn't catch, but that was impossible, so someone must have did the explosive by rocket launcher, but he was sure they were thorough so that means that it was a trap, a synthetic attack. It was soon that they all heard loud heavy footsteps from the entrance they entered. But Jon was able to hear a sound only big movable machine made, more specifically something closer to his own creation.'' This may be troubling for the others.'' The metal entrance was blown apart by explosions and covered the area in smoke. He was emotionless on the outside, but inside he was raging, someone somehow stole his creation and sold it to the Townies. The world will have one less person soon enough. As the smoke cleared and the machine moved forward they saw what it was.

It was big, had bone white plates and a cylinder head that was shaped like an oversize security camera with a red On signal on the black screen. It had two arms the right being the missile launcher and the left being the machine-gun. It had three ''toes'' with two on the front and one in the back as its gray feet. The chest was heavily armored as well.(The YMIR Mech from Mass Effect 2)

'' What the hell is that?'' Techlin asked surprised by the new ''visitor''.

'' My creation, modeled after Brunzo, but more...technological advanced.'' Jon explained.

'' Wait you created that bird shit color robot thing? What the fuck is it doing here?'' Cori asked backing away seeing the missile launcher looking thing on its arm.

'' I'm wondering the same thing.'' Jon said and they felt the anger rolling off of him. He was not one to be steal from.

'' Okay, your creation, whats the weakness. Cause its not looking friendly.'' Eddy said seeing the machine-gun on the other arm.

'' Target Confirmed.'' The mech sounded a deep digital voice, as the machine-gun whirled.

'' Run.'' Jon said turning and doing so.

'' What!?'' The three said and the mech fired the machine-gun and they quickly got the idea running down the hall and in a nearby classroom. It soon stopped firing and they heard heavy footsteps approaching.

'' What now genius?'' Eddy asked crudely.

'' Now I need you and Cori to run to the other end of the hallway, and to check on the others I saw rocks falling and I think they were under the rubble.'' Jon ordered as the machine got closer.

'' What about getting shot or blown the fuck up?'' Cori asked knowing the thing was feet away.

'' Techlin and I will cover you. Now lets move.'' Jon and the rest moved out into the hall just past the mech just in time for the missile if fired to miss and blow the door and the wall surrounding it up, along with some of the close by. Cori and Eddy made a turn to the debris covered stairs to their fallen comrades. The mech turned about to fire, until it found that its left arm was detached by the weapon, by being cut off. Its right arm was grabbed by Jon and an electrical current course through out it, disabling the last of its weapons. The ''eye'' of the machine turned red-orange and its mechanical voice came out.

'' Close Combat Engaged.'' The robot moved with amazing speed hitting Techlin in the head and sending the boy flying into a wall. Jon reacted faster and was able to dodge, jumping back to the blade master's side the boy in the process of getting up.

'' You alright?'' Jon asked not needing to ask the question.

'' Fine, what the hell is that thing made out of?'' Techlin asked the inventor of the machine as it prepared to charge.

'' Titanium. Though I don't remember installing a close combat program into it. Someone been tinkering with it.'' Jon said gritting his teeth.

'' Can you destroy it?'' Techlin asked standing up. The mech charged at them before he could answer and the two jumped out of the way just in time for it to impact the wall Techlin hit.

'' I can, but I don't want to. I need to disable and study it.'' Jon told the boy and the jumped away again as it came at them.

'' Are you serious?'' Tech asked with a face that said he was crazy.

'' Yes, I need to study it. You distract and I go behind and open its panel and shut it down.'' Jon gave the plan.

'' Is it going to be that easy?'' Before the man could answer the mech charged at them again.

'' Yep just distract it and keep it off me.'' Jon explained and Tech moved into its range. Might as well get it over with the boy thought.

It gave a swing at Techlin but he was ready and dodge the swing hitting it with enhanced punches. There was a thing that he wanted to tell the others, he may have lied a little when he said that nanotrites was the only thing that gave him his power. There was a secret that was kept under wraps that allowed him to go beyond human abilities, something that enhanced his senses and abilities to almost superhuman levels. Before his thoughts could be finished the giant weapon swung his other hand and Tech nearly got whacked in the head cause of it. But it swung its other and he was jumped back before getting a real bad bruise on his side. It was then that the machine-gun whirled and it came to Tech and Jon's shock that it worked. It turned its aim to target and was about to fire, until it suddenly stopped. The machine ''eye'' went away leaving a dark circular screen. It started to bend down and it soon looked like a big white and black box. Jon stood behind it where it fully stood. The man was just a little bit taller than it, even when it was boxed up.

'' That was a little anti-climatic.'' Jon muttered lowly though Tech heard it.'' I'm surprised that you used your Kido at this point. I didn't detect any during the whole time you arrived.''

'' I don't rely on it, like I did years ago, became a little too reliant on it.'' Tech explained moving towards the man and the shutdown machine. Jon bent down and started to tinker around the control box. Strangely his hands started to glow a bright blue and the ''fingers'' split into five lines on each finger and the top split to the side and electricity coursed from his fingers and he started to tinker.

'' That's good, as you see I still depend on my bio-technology.'' Jon said moving his hands around as the electricity flowed between his fingers and into the machine.

'' Yeah why did you start this kind of science, many called you mad and said it was impossible but you did it. So what was the reason behind it though?'' Techlin asked hearing a few grunts down the hallways, Cori and Eddy must have found the others already.

'' You remember my daughter? And how she was paralyzed in the legs and lost he her arm after the accident?'' Jon saw the boy nod.'' I tell you one thing, it takes a father many things to make his children happy. My kids saw me as the ones to fix anything, no matter what the problem or what needed to be fix. They looked up to me as a hero and started following in my footsteps, they take apart anything they could and rebuild it back into shape. Sure they had some mistakes but nothing that can't be improved. It was after the accident that my daughter asked me, one night after coming home, for me to fix her legs. She begged and cried for me to fix it, saying how I could fix anything no matter what it was. I said '' Okay but you'll have to wait.'' and she replied hopefully '' Thank you daddy, I know you could fix anything.'' I cried that night after she was sleep, knowing that it was nearly impossible for that type of technology.''

Tech stood still waiting for the man to try and finish the story. He may not be crying like an emotional sap, but someone who had the power over something that can feel emotion can easily tell that he was really sadden.

'' But I said I will and I did so. While I traveled getting members, I asked the audiences of some of the smartest people on technology and got notes on them that number in hundreds of pages and drawings. Then I hacked into the files of all of the world's hospital surgical records that I couldn't get through permission and took classes for biology from some of the smartest people in human anatomy. I was frustrated and tired for weeks maybe even months as I tried to figure out a way to combine the two different kinds of arts, without losing the limb. But I found it and tried to get people who lost limbs to test it out, but they didn't want to risk it. So in the last place we needed to get La and June which was in Russia and a small civil war broke out, it was kept under wraps but me and Cori was there. We just got caught up in the middle of a battle and Cori lost all his fingers. I suffered after the battle when I lost my right leg and left forearm. It was just by luck that I was able to meet a brilliant bio scientist and found my notes and helped me. He gave me the right metal and tools and after a few months we constructed my arm then leg, cut off my other forearm and replace that. I gave Cori his fingers back and I made my way from Mr. Eight to Six after I showed them what I did. I gave my daughter her legs and arm back and that's how I'm the way I'm am.'' When the man finish he stood up closing the panel, having finished reprogramming the A2-Mech.

'' That's why, thanks for the story.'' Tech said patting the man on back.'' It reminds me of why they chose us, because we have something to fight for, something some people on the planet don't have. Something that makes us want to go beyond normal limits.''

'' Its just the way people of the list are formed. Either we have the drive of a thousand men, have unique abilities from various sources, are just insane, or we aren't just human anymore.'' Jon explained knowing they only chose him for his legendary skill in fixing anything, even if its something he doesn't have an idea about. Tech was chosen for diving into something inhuman, and made him even more dangerous when he was angry. They came out of their thoughts when they heard talking coming from the stair that Cori and Eddy went. Eddy, Cori, Ed, Antony, and Double D came into view with Ed being hold up by Antony and Cori as he had a bump on his head, a big bump.

'' I feel like a duck on a roast.'' Ed said deliriously covered in gray stuff, like Tony and Edd.

'' He protected us from the rocks, but he got a bump on his head and now hes talking more crazier than ever.'' Double D explained.

'' Wub wub-duck dukee faseic loko mono fiviia haka goosey fivelu.'' Ed said.

'' Is anyone else unable to fight?'' Jon asked a little worried for Ed.

'' I got a rock shard in my left leg and some in his arms.'' Antony said and they saw his bleeding leg and arms, they noticed he was a little pale.

'' Few scrapes and scratches, but I'm fine.'' Double D responded

'' Cori and Antony take Ed back for medical treatment and you too Antony. Eddward remain with my group.'' Jon ordered and Cori and Antony made way for the exit, Ed shouting out nonsense as they did.

As soon as they were gone Jon told them that they were taking the leader on. He informed him that he was infamous for his use of a flamethrower and flame traps and for them to try not to get burn. They looked down the dark hallway, the direction of the last unchecked place in the school. The gym and cafeteria.

Jon took the lead down the hallway with a light producing from his fingers. It was bright enough for them to see down the hall for five feet. It was a little freaky to the others who didn't know of his ability. Tech was able to quickly explain Jon's story and how he created a technology limb that can replace lost limb. Eddy looked a little freaked out, knowing that the ''cyborg'' was the most weirdest and coolest thing he ever seen, especially the fact that all he had to do was fist bump to break someone's arm.

Edd was a little more interested. His science brain was on a whole new jump start of thoughts. He saw that Jon was indeed a genius in human biology and technology. He wondered if he will be able to learn his secrets in his bio-tech technology and maybe create some of his own variations of it. They soon reached a door that lead into the kitchen that was where kids got the school cooked lunch. A foot away was the entrance to the cafeteria, strangely the lights were on showing the inside which was indeed the eating area of Townies, it was a big room that could possibly fit a hundred or more people. There was chairs and round tables that was clean and empty. There was no one in sight, just in case, Edd activated the goggles thermal vision and saw that there was no one there, not even in the kitchen. It was completely empty. Edd, without thinking, turned to the gym and saw so much red that he threw the goggle on the floor hard enough for sparks to come off, showing that it broke. Edd was furiously rubbing his eyes trying to calm his headache and get the burning sensation out of his eyes.

'' Eddward are you okay?'' Jon said being the first to notice and bend down to see what was wrong with him.

'' No! I just looked in the gym with the thermal vision. I still see spots!'' Double D cried as the burning kept going, when he opened his eyes he closed them a split second later as the burning seem to multiply ten times in pain.

'' Can you see well, do you need to go back?'' Eddy asked his friend worried. Edd nod not having the energy to divert to speaking.

'' Hey shitheads! I'm back from dropping off the others!'' Cori said appearing from no where.

'' Cori, I need you to take Double D to get medication for his eyes.'' Jon ordered.

'' Oh come on the fuck on! I just fucking got back! I want to fight the fucking big fat-ass boss! What the hell you dumbass?'' Cori shouted.

'' Cori. Now.'' Jon said in a commanding voice that made the man falter, but followed his orders.

'' Come smart-ass, lets go get you some medicine.'' Cori said depressed putting the boy's arm around his shoulder and taking him back the way he came.

When they were gone the others made there way to the gym door, Eddy picked up the goggles and put it in his pocket for Dante to fix.

'' Okay Double D said they looked into the gym before his eyes burned. The pain he got seemed to be from high temperatures in heat. So whatever Flamethrower Tom has, must be hot. He must have rigged the whole place up, with flame traps.'' Techlin said.

'' Well everyone be careful.'' Eddy said and despite being with some very tough guys, there were only three of them against a guy who rigged an entire gym and waiting for them.

Jon took hold of the handle sending sparks through it and waited, there was a low hum and he opened the door. Two flamethrowers came out from the sides of the door and two from top that came down pointing straight to where they were standing. Eddy jumped out of the way expecting flames to shoot out, but when he didn't hear anything he came back from around the corner and saw the flamethrowers but inactive.

'' Why aren't they working?'' Eddy asked, noticing the two were still standing where they were, obviously waiting for him.

'' They were electrically wired to activate once the doors open a little spark from me was all it took to deactivate them.'' Jon explained and they went pass the flamethrowers. The gym was completely dark when they entered, but before they could. Blinding light shinned from around gym blinding them.'' Oh come the fuck on!'' Eddy shouted.

'' Alright cut the lights!'' A voice shouted and the lights went off. The three Shadowers cleared there eyes. The lights of the gym were turned on, revealing the leader and the gym that surrounded them. They looked around and saw that they were surrounded. It was more likely the guards that were guarding the Townies' leader. They were dressed in bomb suits and had flamethrowers in their hands, the suits they wore were black and had red shoulder pads. It was then that they heard laughter coming just a few feet away. The leader was a big man, he was wearing the same thing his guards was, but had metal platting over his chest, arms and legs. His flamethrower was twice the size of the others to fit his size. He looked a little menacing especially to Eddy who was wondering how much damage his flamethrower could do.

The gym was decorated with their flags and the stage that use to hail assemblies and important events had a podium on it and had the leader right behind it smiling like a crazy man behind his helmet.'' So I got a few wannabee killers on my turf. Who gives you the damn right to come here and take out my men? Huh!? Now give me one reason why my men should spare your worthless lives.'' The leader shouted with a deep and rough voice.

'' Tommy, I'll give you one chance to just surrender here and now, before things get out of hand.'' Jon calmly said not wanting a mess in his gym.

'' Wait that emotionless and creepy voice? I know that voice, Jon is that you bastard!?'' The man yelled sounding more angrier than before.

'' Yes Tommy, I thought I put you away a long time ago, but you end up here. I told you if I were see you before your time was over that it won't end well for you.'' Jon said threateningly his monotone making it a lot more menacing

'' Yeah, after I killed your dad, some of your closest friends, and attempt to kill your own family that you would beat me to death the first time around. But you had to be soft and let me go to jail. I bet you regret that now.'' The man gave a dark chuckle and Jon's face twitched.

'' Yes, but I knew that your life needed repairing. I guess you became more insane.'' Jon stated seeing the crazy in the man's brown eyes behind his helmet glass.

'' That is about right! Once you spend time in solitary confinement it makes you a tiny bit crazy!'' The man laughed crazily. Eddy and Tech was surprised by the man, he was like the Joker but more buff and crazy looking.

'' Tommy, you know its not going to end well for you so give up and I'll give you another chance.'' Jon tried to reason with the insane men.

'' Sorry Johnny boy! Not going to happen this time! Roast the fuckers!'' The eleven guards turned on their flamethrowers and coming into contact with the three that stayed where they are. The man laughed like a madmen as he saw his most hatted enemy burn, it was then that the smell of burned flesh, which should have reached his nose by now, didn't come and ordered for them to stop. As the flames ranged, Tom came down and walked the wooden floor underneath whining from his weight. The lead Townies looked through the flames and saw that there was no bodies, but wood!

'' Shit they're gone!'' The leader cried out too late as the lights went out and the fire was the only thing that gave them light.'' Quick light the place up so we can see!''

Before the order could be heard three guards screamed as they were dragged into the darkness, their screams rang out through the gym and suddenly they stopped as three thuds were heard.'' Shit light the place up!''

The rest of the guards and Tommy pointed their flamethrowers outward and let loose the flames around them. Tom's produced more flames. As they spread the fire the banners caught fire adding light around the gym as they burned. They stopped as there was flames everywhere now which gave them enough light to see in the darkness. It was then that they saw the three guards that was taken and hanging on the wall above the stage. The first one on the left was gutted with his insides hanging out. The one in the middle had his head shopped off and a his spine was the only thing holding him together. The last and the one of the right had his legs arms and head cut off and the only thing hanging was his torso which had a giant hole where his heart was.

'' Fuck this! I'm out of here!'' One of the guards said taking off his flamethrower and three others followed after, not wanting to die like their comrades. It was too late to leave as they all fell down dead with slit throats and, Eddy's laughter filling the air scaring the last four guards as two dropped their weapons and started screaming saying they surrender. The other two looked like they were about to run, but knew they couldn't and if they stayed they'll die, the two made one last choice and one joined the other two in surrender and the other jumped into the fire screaming as he burned.

'' Screw you three, you all can die for all I care!'' Tommy said turned about to roast them. It was until his flamethrower was cut and the pipe that exhale the fire fell down in pieces. He felt the gas tank on his back start to lose weight, he looked over his shoulder and saw the gas running out of a gash in his tank. It started to flow behind him as if it was drawn to the object by the stage. He then saw that his footsteps left deep imprints in the wood and the gas flowed from each trench to the stage where the lights came on showing only Jon.

'' I told you Tommy it won't end well for you.'' Jon said menacingly as he pointed his finger to the ground a spark shot from his finger to the gas and lit it on fire. Tommy tried to get the gas tank off of him, but was too late as the flames reached him and the tank exploded sending him flying to the wall that he was about to impact. That was until Techlin and Eddy appeared on the wall with both their blades drawn out and Tommy screamed as he was impaled through his stomach and chest and his life was over second later, his giant body slumped down and the boys angled their blades down as the giant body slipped down to the floor with a loud thud.

Techlin and Eddy flipped off the wall and over the body. Swinging their blades and whipped the blood off.'' So what of these three, want us to dispose of them?'' Eddy asked giving a devil smile to the three that coward from him.

'' No. They surrendered and so I thought we can recruit them.'' Jon said.

'' What!?'' The five males yelled a second later.

'' You can't consider man, they had sex slaves! They probably used some of the girls, we should kill them!'' Exclaimed Techlin.

'' No we didn't, boss used that to get them other desperate men to join. I have a wife and two kids! See!'' The man with a British accent pulled out his wallet showing him and his family.

'' Yeah we just joined so we can get paid, please don't kill us!'' The first man said who had a Chinese accent to give up said.

'' Please we'll even join your faction and everything! Follow every order to the letter!'' The second man to give up said on the verge of crying like the other two.

Eddy and Techlin turned their gazes to Jon like the other three ''men'' their expressions saying '' Just decide and we'll go with it.''.

'' Okay then, your welcome to join, but you'll be on probation for a month to see if your loyal though.'' Jon said and the men cried out happily as they looked at Jon like he was a god. They thanked him over and over and the two swordsmen rolled their eyes.'' Yes now that this is over, lets get everyone informed on the win. We got a new base.''

Jon made his way to the back door that allowed entry to the outside and stopped before opening.'' Also you three as your first order, I want you to escort Eddy and Tech to the area where you keep your hostages.'' Jon didn't like the name sex slaves.

'' Yes sir!'' The three men said and took Techlin and Eddy to the location.

With Eddy and Tech.

Tech and Eddy were in a library. The three new Shadowers guided them to the school library which still looked in good shape. There was about three books shelves that reached the ceiling with each row filled with books of all kinds. There was a shelf that was over the stairs that displayed the rewards the school gotten through its years. There was a few cabinets that had items for the librarian and other items that helped with keeping the library in top-shape. The three ex-Townies was searching on the other side of the library which held chairs and tables and another row of wooden shelves that held important books and encyclopedias.

'' Is it here? No. Fink, you got it?'' One of the others said.

'' Nope, Ken?'' Fink asked.

'' Wait, I think I found it!'' Ken said and the four others came closer to see him opening a big wooden hatch that was close to the lone bookshelf. The opening was big enough for two people to fit through there was also stairs that could also have two people on it side by side. Ken went down first, then Fink, and Blake. Eddy and Tech followed a second later, stopping to hear cheering outside and saw that it stopped reading earlier than it should have. They followed after the three and saw that it was a little dusty and that it was dirty and smelled. It smell of shit, piss, and sweat. The three ex-Townies stopped trying to look for the switch on the wall. Eddy rolled his eyes and moved in front turning on the flashlight and pointed ahead seeing six cages lined up on the left side. They heard sobbing and whimpering as the light moved.

'' I told you we could use flashlights!'' Blake said to the others, pushing them by the shoulders.

'' The light switch would've been better!'' Ken said pushing his back.

'' Don't push!'' Blake said grabbing him by shoulders and Ken did the same, they were about to fight til Fink got between them.

'' Guys our new bosses is going to kill us.'' Fink whispered as they turned and saw Techlin and Eddy glaring murderously at the three.

'' Okay look as an order, I want you too to go to Jon and tell him to get some clothes for the woman or something to cover them up!'' Eddy ordered and three stooges, as Eddy thought of them, scrambled out and to get Jon.

'' We're teens and we're smarter than them.'' Techlin muttered as he turned to Eddy who was fiddling a lock.

'' Eddy just cut it.'' Techlin suggested and Eddy did so, the lock cluttered to the ground. Eddy opened the gate and was about to enter to he saw something brown and wet. The bad smell it gave off made Eddy scream as he tried to whip the shit off his face.

'' Kendra!'' A woman's voice called out trying to control her naked daughter who threw the poop. Eddy, who was too busy to notice, was running around and trying to get the poop off of him and ended up running up the stairs and into a table where he fell hitting his head, knocked out. Techlin sighed at his friend, but inside was laughing knowing he'll have to tell everyone about this particular event.

It was then that another person came at the entrance of the women cell and they all coward not knowing it wasn't a Townie, they coward back and the moms hit their children behind them.

'' I must say that what you did to my friend was hilarious I needed that laugh, but now, its time for business!'' The voice sounded young and many of the slaves wondered if they were recruiting young boys now.

Tech was wondering what they were doing, they were obviously hiding their children behind them and the ones without kids or mothers were hiding in the corner. Techlin observed their cell seeing human waste everywhere giving the bad smell.' Man the Townies were real assholes for doing this to them.'

Tech saw that there was a switch in the cell and moved, noticing the women flinch as he did, and flicked and a light flickered on, showing Techlin the view of the naked women who held their eyes closed from the light coming on, and it showed the waste that was around. Techlin blocked his sense of smell with his ability and moved forward, the woman were backing away and Techlin stop, still wondering why their was scared.

'' Oh, now I get it! You guys must think I was one of the people who put you here! No I'm not one of them, I promise.'' Techlin explained and few of the woman relax, the others still not believing it.

'' Hey boss, we were able to get the clothes!'' Ken shouted coming into view still in his armor and the woman inside jumped back on the defense and Techlin shouted.'' Will you get out of that damn armor or an at least get it painted differently to represent your new faction group!''

'' S-s-sorry boss, I and the others got the clothes for the woman. The boss Jon said that he'll have some of the women members escort them on the bus and back into the city. There are some now to help them dress up.'' Ken said cowering.

'' Good now get out!'' Techlin shouted and the man was gone like a bat from hell was chasing him. Techlin turned back and saw the woman scared again.

'' (Sigh) Look I know it looks like that, but he switched sides, hes not part of the group that took you and...used your bodies. Umm... there are clothes for all you women and girls that you could try on upstairs and we can guide you to the city for protection. I'll go get the other gates open for the rest of you okay!'' Techlin shouted through the bars of the other cells for the captives to hear. He went and cut the locks off of the five cages and opened the doors.

'' Welcome to freedom ladies.'' Said before he left. He saw Eddy was still knocked out the woman Shadowers dare not to come closer to him. Tech sighed again picking him up and leaving.

Two Hours Later

Jon looked walked around the base, the smile he developed when giving the news not wavering. Everyone had moved in the supplies and everything was getting set-up by the few who volunteered to stay up as everyone was now resting. He was the one to drive the forty-six hostages back to the city and had the head of Tommy with him. The hostages was taken back with Felice able to send soldiers to get the ones not from here registered into the system. There was also people there who came to see who was being dropped off, turned out there was a list of missing females and a reward for any information on them. The prices were doubled for finding and bringing them back safely. He was able to contact Felice and showed him the head of Tommy and received the reward for both the bounty of the leader and the hostages.

'' It was enough to start out this clan and get a few extra things.'' Jon muttered as he remembered how much Credits there was.

After returning he and the others were able to set up power and to check if they had everything run normally, the stronger ones of the clan moved the rubble, but now there was a giant hole in their new base. Techlin and his group contacted the ones back at Antony's store and said that they were staying here for the night. Everything was working out fine for the clan. Now it was time for the world to know of them, to know of the Sun Shadows. Jon smiled, knowing as long as everything went fine they would be prosper into the clan greater than the one before. Jon went to the library to read a book and when he came in he saw Eddward sitting and reading. The young man looked up from his book to see Jon and smiled at him.

'' Hello Jon, can't sleep?'' Edd asked, Jon saw that the book was reading was Harry Potter. Which one he didn't know.

'' You can say that, what are you doing here? Isn't Marie lonely?'' Jon smirked at his joke seeing the boy blushing and looking back at his book.

'' Well no, I couldn't sleep and came here to read a book to try and put myself to sleep. What are you doing here?'' Edd asked taking the attention off of him.

'' To write in my journal.'' Jon said after thinking of what to do.

'' Journal?'' Edd asked.

'' Yes I write a journal that tells of everything in my life. I have about ten others that go back to when I could write nicely that was when I was eight. I have perfect memory so I don't think it matters that I write them.'' Jon said sitting across from Edd on the table.

'' So you write down every day since you were little? Amazing.'' Edd said as he saw Jon pull out an old book that seen better days and opened showing the yellow pages and that there was few pages left to write in.

'' Yes that what I do. I'll replace this book after a few days. Who should start writing one too.'' Jon said as he wrote.

'' Why?'' Asked Double D.

'' You never know when your life will end, will it feel good to know that you left something for the world to know of? To know that you exist? There are many autobiographies out there, I just add on to that. At least I'll be remembered for more than a weapon or anything others think of me.'' Jon said.

'' I guess...it sounds appealing. I'll start tomorrow.'' Edd said putting a mental note for him. The two geniuses sat for an hour before they got tired and went to bed. To start a new day tomorrow. To start another day in a World for the Dead.

Wow that is the ending of this story! Can you all believe I did all this as the final chapter for PART 1! Yes it is the final chapter til part 2. Don't worry I won't be like those guys that say there will be a part 2 and never do it and say in a AN that they aren't going to continue. Okay there will be a timeskip, I'm saying for 3 months. There is a title that may change. But if you have a choice for a timeskip review or PM me. Yes there will be some unnormal and superpower-like abilities that Techlin will have, but don't worry he will teach the others and won't be overpowered.

NOW for the zombie creation thing I said at the beginning, anyone can enter. So here is the format, yes a format, for a zombie creation.

Name:

Abilities: Just like with the Healing Tongue and Jump Start, any thing that can make sense for a zombie to do.

Unique Abilities: Things like the Hunters who can scale walls, or Tanks that are super strong.

Necromorph, Evolved, or Hybrid: Yes you can choose what kind of Zombie they are. Necromorph are stronger yet are better in swarms, Evolve are Tanks and the such who are more durable alone or in small groups, Hybrid is the fucked-up combination of both Evolved and Necromorphs and are incredibly dangerous even posing a threat to high-up list members like Techlin and Jon. But only five entries are allowed for the Hybrids.

That the format and I say go NUTS! ANYONE CAN ENTER!
