a/n. Shortest chapter ever, but at least one more to go
Chapter 20
The group leaves at dawn while the weather is appalling. It is pouring down - but they all know that it means - advantage, them! Better to attack in foggy conditions with bad visibility.
After a slow trek - the weapons are heavy – they arrive at the forest´s edge by Mount Weather. According to plan they split up into a larger and a smaller team. The largest group gets in position at the main entrance while Bellamy and his team plan to enter through one of the ventilation shafts without any mountain men noticing.
They just need Raven with her computer skills to silence the alarm. And open the door. Piece of cake…
Raven is well aware of the difficulty and she feels the pressure. That last time they tried this she had come up short. But with Wicks´ help she has a new and improved code. Hopefully that would do the trick.
Mount Weather main entrance.
Clarke and Lexa want to draw as many of the fighting mountain men as possible to the main door. Since their little visit to the mountain Clarke knows that most of them are civilians and not trained, or even willing to fight – so hopefully there were not that many to beat as Lexa seemed to think.
Everything is quiet. No one has shown themselves yet. Lexa knows for a fact that their attack would be a surprise. Since the deal these arrogant mountain bastards thought they were invincible.
The plan is to force the door ajar by using a small bomb. The mountain people are not expecting that kind of firepower, and it would allow for an attack from the inside.
Lexa gives the signal to set off the blast. The bomb has already been placed in position by a brave grounder.
The sounds of the bomb carries several miles. She knows phase two of the plan is in action.
The smaller group sneak in via the newly opened ventilation shaft just moments after the bomb goes off. Bellamy goes first. Monroe, Lincoln and Murphy follow soon after. Raven has done it - there is no alarm and she opened the lock on the first try. Murphy gives her a kiss before he heads into the tunnels. "Wish us luck", he says and then they are all gone
Octavia and Raven are left with a map and a walkie-talkie. This was out of their hands now
