  Sarah and her snipers stop firing at Synx’s army, because they are no longer in sight. They must wait until they enter the walls of the military base. Fortunately, the World Army is now ready to take on Synx and his army. Still, they are unaware of Rogue and his follower’s presents. Leah is on the main floor alongside her father. Leah and the General are both looking for revenge. They are also looking for revenge, because Synx technically killed Raider and a beloved family member. Synx messed with the wrong family by killing a sister and a daughter to a very powerful family. They both can’t wait to get their hands on Synx. They will be working alongside each other throughout this battle and will stop at nothing to take down Synx, Gronder, Cora or any of Synx’s wives.

  The World Army opens up their main gate to allow their enemy into their battlefield and home. As soon as the gates start opening, Rogue and his followers show their faces. Leah’s eyes light up from the sight of Rogue. Leah explains to her father, “This was the man whom killed Raider. I am going to kill him!” The General clenches his fists and anxiously waits for the gates to open. The General is going to charge immediately towards Synx and Gronder. Leah is going straight for Rogue. She clenches her fists and anxiously waits for the gates to open as well.

  The gates are now open and Sarah is climbing down from the snipers’ tower. She immediately spots Rogue as he charges after the World Army. She hurries to the battlefield to meet up with Leah and the General. Of course, she has her sniper out and ready to fire. She also has her melee weapon at the ready. Sarah may be rushing onto the battlefield, but she is making sure she keeps a nice and safe distance away from the enemy. Sarah runs behind Leah and her father and takes care of the enemies that try to take them down from behind or from the side. So far, no enemies come close to killing the General, Leah or Sarah. To no surprise, Sarah is doing an excellent job as a sniper and protecting her closest friends. To Sarah, the General and Leah are considered family. Sarah considers the General to be a father figure to her. Sarah considers Leah to be more like a little sister to her. She will do whatever it takes to make sure these two survive in this battle and war. She does not plan on losing any more loved ones.

  The General and Leah are battling their way towards Synx, Gronder and Rogue. Synx and Rogue spot the outraged and vengeful General and Leah. Synx says to Gronder, “Well it seems the General and his daughter have something to say to us. Let’s go pay them a visit and see what they have to say.” Synx and Gronder make their way towards the General and Leah. Leah steps away from her father and heads towards Rogue. Of course, Leah will be there to protect her father if she feels as if he is in trouble. She does not believe he will be in trouble, because he is the general of the World Army for a reason. If anyone is going to take either one of them down, it is going to be the General.

  As the General and Leah make their way towards Synx, Gronder and Rogue, Sarah is visited by an unwelcomed guest. Sarah is eliminating Synx’s army, but it is nowhere near an easy task. A lot of enemies come very close to her and she needs to think very quickly on her feet. If she did not think quickly on her feet, she would easily be killed. Fortunately, Sarah is a highly skilled and trained soldier with a sniper rifle and melee weapon. But unfortunately, this leaves her distracted and wide open. Synx’s spy is going to join the battlefield, but will remain out of sight. The spy sneaks up from behind Sarah as she is being occupied by her enemies. She has no clue the spy is sneaking up from behind her. The spy tackles Sarah and beats the living hell out of her. The spy claws the back of Sarah and flips her over. He takes a big chunk out of her shoulder, but he gets mostly armor. However, he does get a big chunk of flesh from the bite. The spy grabs a hold of Sarah’s neck with both hands before spitting out the armor. The spy tosses Sarah into a corner where nobody will see them.

  Sarah slams into a wall and tries to point her gun at the spy, but he is able to smack it away. Her sniper rifle is too far away for her to grab it. She has no choice but to try and kill the spy with her melee weapon. She goes to grab her melee weapon, but the spy cuts off her right arm. Sarah tries to scream in agonizing pain to get somebody’s attention, but the spy grabs her mouth and digs his claws into her left cheek. The spy drags his claws across her face at full speed. Blood splatters all over him, but it doesn’t faze him at all. Fortunately, Sarah is still able to speak. Sarah says to the spy very slowly, “You are Synx’s spy and I know it. Don’t you dare think you’re going to get away with this.” The spy replies, “Why, what are you going to do about it?” The spy punches Sarah in the face and knocks her out. The spy then drags her body into a location where it would be very hard to find her. The spy plans on letting her bleed to death. He ends up putting her in a dumpster before walking away. However, he will still be able to watch her by staying close by.

  Meanwhile, the General comes face to face with Synx and Gronder. Leah comes face to face with Rogue and the two hell hounds that killed one of her comrades. Rogue says to Leah, “Well, well. Isn’t it just wonderful to see you again? You look like you are ready to kick someone’s ass.” Leah doesn’t say a word, but does charge at Rogue with her battle axe. Rogue blocks the attack and pushes her away from him. Rogue says to Leah, “You are a very strong young lady. I am sure your father is very proud of you. Too bad I won’t be able to tell him that.” Rogue whistles and his two hell hounds attack Leah. Rogue ends up fighting other members of the World Army as the two hell hounds attack Leah. Rogue is easily fighting off the members of the World Army all by himself, but he decides to call for more backup. Rogue lets out a very high-pitched whistle. His followers quickly make their way towards him. So far, very few of his followers have been killed. Only two of his followers have been killed in this battle. It just shows you how strong they are.

  Meanwhile, the General is fighting off Synx and Gronder, but it is not looking good for the General. Synx and Gronder are beating the living hell out of him. However, the General refuses to give up and retreat. So, he has no choice but to use his special attack that will take down Synx and Gronder all at once. However, he needs time to ready his special attack. Time is something he is running very low on. The General is beaten down to the point of where he can barely move a muscle. It seems as if the General has been defeated and will be killed on the battlefield. He has cuts all over his body, including his face and head. He is marinating in a pool of blood. Synx grabs the General by the throat and lifts him up. The General shows no fear of dying. Gronder places his sword up to the General’s throat to intimidate him and possibly kill him. Synx asks the General, “Do you not fear death, because you are about to die?” The General doesn’t say a word, but does spit blood onto Synx’s face. Synx orders Gronder out of frustration, “Slit this fuckin’ fool’s throat.” Gronder goes to slit the General’s throat, but Gronder is shut down by multiple snipers. He is not dead, but he does end up falling to the floor and drops his sword. The snipers are coming over to rescue their leader and eliminate Synx and Gronder once and for all. Synx is nowhere near intimidated by these men and women, but that is all about to change.

  Gronder attempts to get back up on his feet, but he is shot by a holy crossbow arrow. Synx spots the arrow penetrating Gronder’s chest and gets ready for the arrow that will be aiming for him, but he is a little too late to get ready for the holy arrow. The snipers continue to open fire on Synx. The arrow comes crashing down into Synx’s chest shortly after an arrow penetrates Gronder’s chest. Even though Synx has an arrow in his chest, he is still able to move. The snipers continue to fire at Synx and they do some serious damage. Another arrow is getting ready to be fired. As soon as the arrow is ready to be fired, they aim it directly for Synx’s chest and fire it. The arrow ends up penetrating Synx’s chest and removes him from the battlefield. He is not dead, but is no longer a threat to this battle. The snipers attempt to capture Synx and Gronder, but they are unable to do so. The members of Synx’s army and some of Rogue’s followers end up defending Synx and Gronder. Again, the World Army is unable to captur
e Synx and Gronder. Synx and Gronder end up being taken back to Synx’s fortress. The General ends up being carried to the hospital by two of his snipers. The General is no longer allowed to fight on the battlefield in this battle.

  Meanwhile, Leah is fighting off two of Rogue’s hell hounds. Leah is having a hard time killing the hell hounds, because they have the ability to heal at lightning speed. She needs to find a way to kill these hell hounds if she wants to fight Rogue. Leah is covered in claw marks and bite marks, but she is nowhere near death. As Leah continues to battle these two hell hounds, she ends up killing one of them by hitting it in the heart. She has found the weak spot of these hell hounds and ends up killing the other one. Now, she is making her way over to Rogue. But unfortunately, she is not able to come face to face with Rogue alone. He is surrounded by many of his followers. But fortunately, the World Army is fighting off Rogue and his followers. Leah is able to get her hands-on Rogue alongside her fellow comrades.

  So far, the World Army is defeating Synx’s army and Rogue’s followers. Rogue’s followers are not dropping in numbers, but Synx’s army is slowly dying down. Rogue ends up making a big decision. Rogue orders everyone to retreat back to Synx’s fortress, including his followers and himself. Synx’s army may be running low on members in this battle, but the World Army is running low as well. Synx’s army may be retreating with Rogue and his followers, but Cora and Synx’s three wives want to take care of some unfinished business before retreating.

  Cora and the wives end up sneaking into Sarah’s home and attack every member of the household. Cora and the wives end up cornering all of Sarah’s roommates and kill them. They all died a horribly and painful death. Haley and Abigail die from the hands of Cora. Cora skins Haley and Abigail alive before stabbing them in the chest and ripping out their hearts. Chelsea and Scarlet die from the hands of the three wives. The wives dig their claws into the backs of Chelsea and Scarlet. They stab their backs until they bleed to death. After they are all dead, Cora and the wives leave the household and head back home.

  As Synx and Rogue’s army retreats, Sarah wakes up and crawls out of the dumpster. She cries for help, but nobody can hear her. It seems as if she is going to die. But fortunately, a fellow sniper spots Sarah lying down on the ground and comes for her rescue. The sniper picks Sarah off of the ground and rushes her to the hospital as quickly as he can. Fortunately, she makes it to the hospital alive and is expected to be making a full recovery. She is unaware her roommates were slaughtered. At this given moment, nobody is aware of the slaughtering inside of Sarah’s house. It is a very bloody and gory mess.

  Synx and his army are not exactly going back to his fortress. They are heading back to a military base not too far from here. It is Rogue’s second largest military base. They have plenty of supplies to take care of Synx, Gronder and all of the other injured soldiers. Rogue plans on ending this war once and for all. In order to do this, he is going to need the help of Synx and his army. It doesn’t take long for them to arrive at the military base. This military base is known by very few people. Synx and his army had no clue about this military base until they arrived. This military base is only a couple of miles away from the World Army’s main military base, not even the World Army knows about it.

  Rogue has the gates to his military base open up and allows Synx and his men to enter. Rogue’s finest doctors take the wounded and take care of Synx and Gronder. The rest will be able to train in combat, repair any damaged weapons or armor, eat and get some rest. Rogue will be coming up with a plan to end this war once and for all. Of course, he will need Synx’s approval if they are going to do this as a team. Rogue knows about the attack on Sarah’s home, because he gave them the orders to do it.

  Hours later, soldiers are cleaning up the dead and making sure all of the wounded are being treated. A small group of soldiers is patrolling down Sarah’s home location. They quickly notice the front door has been destroyed. They quickly and carefully walk into the house with their weapons at the ready. They are all stunned by what they are seeing. They are all seeing the dead bodies of all of Sarah’s roommates. They each drag a body out of the house as the leader marks them down on the body count list. The leader is not looking forward to be giving Sarah the sad news after her surgeries. However, the leader of the small group does tell the General and Leah about this sad news. They are both heartbroken by this news, but will not be nearly as heartbroken as Sarah. Leah tells the leader, “You do not need to tell Sarah about this, I will. You’re free to go.” Leah begins crying as her father holds her close. The General does not cry, but is feeling very sad and wishes he could cry. The General will be alongside Leah when she does tell Sarah about this awfully sad news.

  Chapter 16

  Not Done Yet

  Sarah is out of surgery, but she is resting and recovering from it. She is unaware of her best friends and roommates being slaughtered in her home. Leah and the General are sitting down by her bedside. They are both waiting for her to wake up and give her the sad news. The doctors are still analyzing the bodies of Sarah’s roommates. It appears there is a message engraved into their bodies. The message reads, “This war will come to an end sooner than you think. To end it all, I am challenging all of you to one last battle. In about a week, we will be waiting for you in the town of mass destruction at the time of the lunar eclipse.” The doctors bring this message over to the General once they gather all of this information. This message was written by Rogue, but was sent by Synx’s family. The General does not receive this message until later on tonight.

  Meanwhile, Rogue visits Synx and Gronder at their hospital beds. They got out of surgery late last night, so they are expected to wake up at any moment. Rogue checks with the doctors to see how they are both doing. The doctor says to Rogue, “They are doing well. Expect a full recovery from them once they wake up.” Rogue dismisses the doctors and patiently waits for either one of them to wake up. He mostly wants Synx to wake up first.

  Synx wakes up and asks Rogue, “Where are we and what happened?” Rogue replies, “We are at my birthplace and the second largest military base I have to offer to you. Now, I have a plan to end this war once and for all. Your family is already in agreement, we just need your approval.” Rogue tells Synx about the plan and he agrees with it. Synx contacts his spy and says, “We are ending this war very shortly. You are free to come home, but I have one last task for you. I need you to make sure Sarah has been killed. If she is not killed, you will be killed by me. Do we have an understanding?” The spy replies, “Sarah is in the hospital for what I did to her on the battlefield. I’ll go pay her a visit and make sure she does not leave that hospital alive.” The spy disconnects from Synx and makes his way over to the hospital.

  The spy arrives at the hospital, but is very cautious when entering. The spy enters the hospital in human form and heads for Sarah’s hospital room. So far, no one is suspicious and he is able to get to the same floor as Sarah. The spy makes her over to her room, it does not enter. It looks around to see if anyone is near. It takes a look inside of the hospital room and sees Leah and her father by her bedside. The spy waits outside of the room, but turns invisible and changes into its daemonic form. Leah gives Sarah the sad news about the death of her best friends and roommates. Sarah is heartbroken and immediately breaks down into tears. Leah starts crying and hugs Sarah to comfort her. The General stands up from his chair and hugs Sarah and Leah as they both cry. The spy smiles as he watches all of them break down into tears.

  Moments later, Leah and the General go to check Sarah out of the hospital with Sarah by their side. The spy follows them and waits for the perfect opportunity to stab her in the back. Leah, the General and Sarah arrive at the checkout counter. The General checks Sarah out of the hospital and they head back towards the General’s house. They plan on having Sarah stay with them until her house is cleared. As soon as they leave the hospital, the spy stabs Sarah in the back. The spy stabbed her within a blink of an eye and darted off wi
thout ever being seen. The General calls for a doctor to come to the rescue. The doctor comes to rescue Sarah, but he has some disturbing news. The doctor determines that Sarah is no longer with them, she is dead. Leah falls down to her knees as she breaks down crying, yet again. This time, the General also starts crying. The General picks Leah off of the ground and brings her home. The doctors bring Sarah’s dead body to be cremated. What they do not know is that Sarah will be brought back to life by a familiar face.

  The spy contacts Synx and tells him the good news. Synx replies, “Excellent work, I knew you could get the job done. In about a week, I want you to meet me at this location.” Synx gives his spy a set of directions of where to meet Rogue and Synx. The spy disconnects from Synx and heads back home.
