Chapter 8: The Attack
Helicopters, full trucks, weapons, and more things than you can imagine rolled through the school firing on anything they could. "Anthony where are the weapons?" I asked. "They're still in the boys' dorm!" He yelled over a massive explosion too close for comfort. "We need to move then!" I said about to run when somebody caught me. "Wait! The school has a defense system for terrorist attacks, perhaps one of you could stay behind and control them!" Crabblesnitch said. "I'll go!" I said but Ian cut me off. "No, I'll stay here, you guys go get the guns and distribute them!" He yelled. "Ian? Why are you doing this?" Anthony asked.
"Anthony, just go. We're going to run out of time if you don't!" Ian said. "Let's go guys!" Catie yelled, as she was halfway down the steps. "Good luck." Ian said. Anthony nodded and gave him one last hug before we went. They were like brothers no doubt; a connection I wished I could hold onto without trouble. "Fucking hurry up!" Catie yelled as I came down with Anthony and we made our way to the dorm. Two armed men stopped us and I quickly jumped at them and took them to the ground grabbing their weapons and shooting them. "Take these!" I tossed them the guns and extra ammo. These guys were planning to stay for a while. I kicked in the door to the dorm and made my way to the room we all stayed in. I rummaged through the room and found nothing.
"What the fuck I thought you said they were here?" I asked. He then clicked a button he had hidden somewhere. The mirror turned around and there was an arsenal of different weapons. "Is this what you guys do while I'm gone?" I asked in shock and awe. "Ian thought we should've been more prepared. So here is a little surprise we got from one of our fans." I was still amazed at the amount of guns they kept hidden behind my back. Truly I was envious. I turned to see Anthony holding what appeared to be an RPG launcher. "What the fuck? Somebody sent you that?" I asked. I could still hear heavy explosions and gunfire outside. "A former General in the Military if you can believe it." He said proudly holding it.
"Fuck me. I guess your humor reaches any audience." I said taking it and attaching it to my back. I knew this would come in handy against those attack choppers. The bastards were a lot sneakier than I thought. I grabbed a couple semi-automatic pistols, fully automatic assault rifle, and stuffed anything else in the bag. Anthony carried it along with some good high-grade weaponry I never knew existed. The Internet must have been paying off big time to get stuff like this. I was clearly in the wrong career. We made our way around and saw the front half of the boys' dorm, get completely shattered before our very eyes. We jumped out and caught sight of some random foot soldiers heading towards us. We dispersed of them quickly when we realized they must have never even shot a gun before. Half of them clearly forgot to turn off the safety and check for weapon jams.
"He's hiring amateurs now. That gives us an advantage." I said to myself but Anthony caught it and chuckled. We had to rally up anyone who had fired a gun, and to be honest it was harder than we anticipated. Especially since we were being shot at while covering our ass. Luckily Ian provided good cover with the cannons that Crabblesnitch had told him about. We went through the shop area to find good coverage from attackers. It seemed like Ian had shot down a couple of choppers before I could have fun with their toy. One of the choppers had crashed through the shop and damaged most of the area. We asked certain greasers and others hiding here if they had fired a gun, and with our luck they were probably the best backup we could get. Every greaser had at least fired one and hit accurately so we let them use some. The information they gave us about the accuracy was no joke, and it actually caught me off guard seeing these guys pierce right through the enemy lines.
We made our way to evacuate the weaker people we had there through the back of the school. They had made it to the asylum the last time we checked. It was tough squeezing all of them through the tunnel but they managed it and got through. That left the rest of us fighting for survival. I kept scanning the fields for any sight of my old friend or Gary and found nothing. Luckily I found a radio close to us to see if Ian could find anything. "Angel to Ian, Angel to Ian, did you spot the leader?" I asked through the radio. It took a few minutes and about two more clips of ammo before an answer came back. "Negative, but Gary Smith has been spotted nearing your location over." He said through the radio. "Copy that. We'll keep our eyes open." I said. Soon I saw a huge group of the militia closing in and I could see Gary leading the attack from behind the pack. Figures the little scrotum sack would be hiding behind them. At least he was on the field.
"Anthony, we have to lead these guys on a head on charge to them. I see Gary behind them and I'm going for it." I said. Another explosion rang in the distance. "Full frontal assault, are you crazy?" He asked. "I could be. It's the only thing that will catch him by surprise and daze him enough so I could get in there for the kill." I said. I radioed Ian again. "Angel to Ian, we need you to switch to smoke screen if possible." I said.
"Negative, we do not have a smoke screen. I don't think they were that fully prepared." Ian replied. Great now we have to provide that cover ourselves. "Ian prepare to fire on the field west of the main building, a large group of them are heading our way, and I am preparing to kill Smith if possible. Try not to fire on our own group if possible. Over." I said waiting for the go. The group was closing in fast and we had no time to respond. "Ian are you there?" I asked through the radio. Anthony looked at me with a face as pale as a ghost. "Ian, respond!" I yelled. Still silence. "Fuck it. We have to do the charge without his help." I told Anthony and Catie. "No I have to get my friend and make sure he is okay!" Anthony yelled.
"Ian to crew, we have a major problem here." He said and I was now just as worried as Anthony. "Continue." I said through the radio. "Anthony, you definitely won't like this." He said through the radio holding back a little. "Ian what is it?" He almost whimpered through the radio. "They have Kalel." Ian said after three minutes of silence. Anthony stumbled back in complete desperation to get himself moving. This was his girlfriend he must have been talking about. "Did they say anything about her?" I asked Ian through the radio. "I just see her tied up in the back of their truck. She looks okay, but I think the leader is coming here now." Ian said. I breathed out slowly and I could see everyone was awaiting my orders. They must be planning something bigger than we anticipated. Somehow they caught Kalel and might be holding her as well as Derby and Ted for my life and the end of the battle. They're trying to turn everybody against me. That must be their plan. If everyone hates me, nobody would miss me. It makes perfect sense now. I had no choice but to give myself up now.
