Takedown, by Klug1234
Prolouge:
“Blow it.”
Those words were spoken 5 years ago. Since then, many things have changed. The ACP was all but destroyed. All of our servers were nuked, and then the Nachos and UMA stormed them, killing all ACP soldiers they found alive. The smart ones hid, knowing trying to fight was suicide. Me, las, and Motor had to sneak past countless Nachos and UMA soldiers, looking for surviving ACP soldiers to kill. Dryvit and the other leaders were dead, from what we heard. Eventually, we got off Breeze with the help of a couple of other ACP soldiers, Houndy66, Tylo, and Divoto. We got away in a stolen motorboat, and headed for IW’s servers, the lone remaining ally of ACP. Most other armies had either surrendered to the Nacho/UMA Alliance, which is now referred to as The Underground Alliance. The IW welcomed all ACP soldiers with open arms. The Underground Alliance waged relentless war on IW, and also nuked all of their servers. In the last, final battle, Iceyfeet1234 escaped capture during the Battle of Sub Zero, in which the IW was defeated due to a deception by one of Icey’s most trusted friends. After that, Icey went into hiding, as did many ACP soldiers. Still not content with taking down the top 2 armies in Club Penguin, The Underground Alliance decided to go on a conquest of all of Club Penguin. The Tacos, unsure of what to do, ended up surrenduring to The Underground Alliance and joining them. The Golden Warriors decided to defend themselves, and put up a strong fight, although they couldnt win. In the end, they all fought to their deaths, not wanting to surrender. Then the RPF fell. By the end of the Underground Alliance’s conquest of Club Penguin, just about 1 year later, every army had been conquered. UMA and Nachos now controlled all of Club Penguin. The armies that joined the alliance were given land. This alliance set up a government, and the citizens of Club Penguin had to go along with it. Next, the Alliance turned the Tacos into a bounty hunter group. The Tacos new purpose in life: To find and kill as many former ACP and IW members in hiding. This grouped moved silently, and cought and killed many ACP soldiers. Luckily, some of them still hid. It was at this time in which the remaining soldiers of ACP, IW and any other person that hated the Underground Alliance decided to fight back. It was done using the ACP Emergancy Communication System, which only ACP Soldiers knew the password to get into it and listening to message. I had been repeating the same message for the past 5 years.
“This is ACP General Klug1234. If any of you are out there, find me.”
Chapter 1:
There was a knock at the door. Motor jumped up and grabbed his knife. Just incase it was the Nachos, UMA, or bounty hunters. las went up to the door of our house and opened it up. 2 men, both with beards and soaking wet, were standing outside.
“Who are you?” Motor asked. The men said nothing but walked in and closed the door. The taller of the 2, spoke. “Are you guys Klug1234, lasgae, and Motor 20?” I looked at las and Motor. Motor had brought his knife up slightly, ready to use it if needed. las had started feeling around the table next to him for something heavy. I didnt know what to do, so i answered.
“Yes…why?” I said, uncertain the men’s intentions. The men both looked at each other, and the taller one said “Thank God!” He then walked up to us. “Guys, i know you dont recognize me, but im Boomer 20. We need to talk.” My jaw dropped. Was this really Boomer? “Prove your Boomer.” I snapped.
“The password for the ACP Emergency Communications System is therulerisacp.” replied the man, with a smile.
”Holy crap, its Boomer!” las yelled. I motioned towards the other man. “Whos that?”
“Im Houndy.” replied the man. We walked over to the couch in our house on Parka.
“So, how have you guys survived these past 5 years?” Motor asked. Boomer sighed. “Just barely. I would have been killed when the nuclear bombs exploded on Snow Fort, but I had been evacuated from the server just 2 hours before the bomb hit. I then went into hiding on Brumby for 3 years, barely surviving. 2 years ago i found Houndy, and we stole an ACP ECS from an Underground Alliance labratory. We listened to your message, and went looking. Now weve found you.”
“So,” i said. “Its great and all that were all not dead, but why did you come to find us?” Houndy smiled. “I think we all know why. The Underground Alliance has kept control of Club Penguin for too long. Their time is over. We cant afford for them to hunt us down anymore. We either make our last stand, and try to undermine this horrible alliance, or we let them hunt us down, one by one.”
“So what are you saying we do?” las asked. “Simple. Gather all remaining ACP Soldiers, and we fight.”
“Where?” Motor asked.
“Mammoth.
Chapter 2
“Is this seriously the remains of the ACP?” I whispered to Boomer.
“These are the people that responded to the ECS call,” Boomer whispered back. Great. There were 25 people sitting in the Mammoth Dojo with us.
“So,” Boomer started. “You guys were all in the ACP?” They all nodded. One smirked. “Can we get your names?” Motor asked. One by one, they all wrote down their names. I remembered some of them. Divotoo, Chapa23, Tylo, Matre, Danny, Uno, and Peguin were among the ones i knew. “So, when were you guys in ACP?” We asked the remaining people. Some of them said they were around since Oagal’s times, some of them said they joined shortly before that last war. Only one of them didnt answer. His name was Jet.
“So, do you guys know why your here?” las asked, a little impatient.
“Lemme guess,” Matre said. “You guys want to take down the Underground Alliance.” Someone gasped. They then called out, “The Underground Alliance? Are you insane? Theres 25 people here. The UA is huge.” Houndy slammed his fist on the wall.
“So, are you suggesting that we just let them find us, and kill us off, one by one? Do you want that to happen, or do you want one last chance of freedom? One last chance to take down the UA?” He challenged. The soldier closed his mouth immeadietly.
“So, you know what we want to do. You guys in?” las asked. They all said yes, except for Jet, who said he had to think things over. He opened the door and went outside.
I went over to Motor. “Jet seems suspicious, im gonna follow him.” I closed the door quietly and went outside. Jet was sitting on a rock. I hid behind a tree. Jet took out a cell phone and dialed a number.
“Hello? Yes, sir, this is Jet. Theyre up here, in the Dojo. Not just random ones, Boomer is up here. You might want to come up right away. Ok. Bye.” He closed the cell phone and stood up. He started to walk back to the door, but i came out from the tree and grabbed his arm. He looked around, confused. I pushed him up against the wall and pulled out my knife. “Who did you just call?” I asked, threateningly. He didnt answer. “Who are you talking to?!” I punched him in the face.
“Agh- Ja- Jagger,” My jaw dropped. Jagger was on his way. Jagger was the best bounty hunter in Club Penguin. He had caught hundreds of ACP soldiers and others in hiding in the 5 years since it was destroyed I punched Jet in the stomach. He doubled over. I dragged him back inside the Dojo. Boomer stood up, looking concerned.
“What’s wrong?” he asked. I shoved Jet into view. “Jagger is coming. He knows were here. We have to leave.” The color drained from just about everyones face. “Does anyone have a gun?” Houndy whispered. Matre pulled out three pistols. He threw one to Houndy, one to me. Boomer pulled out a pistol. Some of the others had pistols, others only knives.
“We need to get out of here, fast.” Motor whispered. We opened the door and filed out. A helicopter was flying towards us, about 1000 yards away. “Head for the woods,” Houndy ordered. We sprinted towards the line of trees that we could hopefully hide in. I saw bullets rake the ground behind us. The helicopter was trying to take us down before we got into the woods. Some of the soldiers i didnt know were hit. One was hit in the leg, and fell down. Chapa turned around, and ran back to help him up.
“Chapa!” Motor yelled. “Keep moving! We have to get out of here!” We reached the tree line and continued in. Chapa was still out there. He was struggling to help the fallen soldier towards the tree line. The helicopter was landing near him. “Chapa!” I yelled. las came up behing me and put his hand on my shoulder. “There’s nothing we can do, Klug. We have to keep moving.” I took one last look at Chapa, and then turned, following my companions into the wild.
* * *
Chapa was scared. The other soldiers had left him there, struggling to help a wounded soldier to safety. The helicopter had landed. Jagger stepped out. Jagger was a tall man who always wore full battle gear and a helmet that didnt show his face had appeared out of no where shortly after ACP was defeated, and he offered to help the Underground Alliance find and kill former ACP and IW soldiers.
“Well,well, well,” Jagger mocked. “It’s Chapa23.” Chapa glared at him. “You!” He roared as he ran at Jagger, trying to punch him in the face. Jagger blocked the punch easily and threw Chapa to the ground. Chapa swung at Jagger’s legs. Jagger sidestepped him easily and kicked him in the face. “I am going to have fun killing you, Chapa. I have been waiting to kill you a long time.” He took out a pistol and aimed it at Chapa’s head. Chapa knew he was going to die, but he wanted to know one last thing.
“Who…are…you?” Chapa whispered. Even with the helmet on, Chapa could tell he was smiling. Jagger took off the helmet. His face was one Chapa, and all ACP soldiers knew well.
Ktman looked down at his former comrade, and shot him in the head. “Happy?”
“Tuxy, dispose of the body. Get ready to go back to base.”
Chapter 3
So, where next?” I asked. We had stopped running and had found a clearing deep in the woods. Matre had found firewood and lit a fire. Boomer shrugged.
“I dont know,” He admitted. “I thought we would have more time in the Dojo to figure things out. Danny stood up. “Our goal is to destroy the Underground Alliance, right? Shouldn’t we strike at the heart of it?” There was murmuring among the group. Suddenly, Motor yelled out, “I got it! We need to strike at the UA’s heart. We need to kill Pink Mafias.”
* * *
Two days later, and with stolen guns, ammo, and equipment from a UA base, we were ready to execute the plan. We were on Frozen, the UMA’s captial and where Pink Mafias was supposed to be at the time. Matre, Div, Danny, Tylo, and Uno gave us the signal. We nodded. We were watching from the Clock Tower, using scopes. They walked into the Town. All of a sudden, Tylo pulled out a Mini Uzi and fired it into the air. Matre grabbed a random civillian and pushed him to the ground. Uno yelled something. Danny and Div ran into the Night Club. All the civillians in the Town got on the ground. I smiled. The plan was going exactly as..well… planned. We turned our scopes towards the UMA base. 7 UMA soldiers had ran out of the base and were heading for The Town.
“That’s our que,” Boomer said. “Let’s go.” We climbed down from the clock tower and started running for the UMA base. Luckily, the UMA soldiers had taken a different route, so we didnt cross them. We stopped about 100 feet away from the base. “Check for guards,” Houndy ordered. I looked through the scope on my rifle. There was one guard. “One guard. Dont kill him. No need to kill before its necessary. Tranquilize him.” Motor took out his sniper rifle and loaded it with tranquilizer darts. He shot the guard in the leg with one. The guard crumpled to the ground, unconcious. We ran up to the door of the base. las tried the handle. “Its locked,” he mumbled. That didnt stop Boomer. He took out a crowbar and wrenched the door open. We ran inside.
“Pink Mafias should be in the meeting room.” Houndy said. We ran down a hallway. There were 2 UMA soldiers in front of us, with their backs turned away from us, obviously guarding the door.
“Whaddya think hes even doing in there?” one said.
“I dunno, hes probably working on some kinda strategy or something.” replied the other one. Boomer looked at Houndy, and they nodded. They had obviously done this many times before. They sneaked up behind the guards, drew their knives, and stabbed the guards in the back. “There,” Houndy said, wiping his hands on his pants.
My heart started pounding. I was really nervous. I mean, ive killed people before, but this was Pink Mafias, leader of one of the biggest armies in Club Penguin. I swalloed and looked at my friends. “Lets do it,” i said. Boomer cracked the door open slightly, and ran in. Everyone else ran in behind him, guns raised. Boomer had pushed a man to the ground and gagged him. I knew it as soon as i looked at him. This was Pink Mafias. I raised my gun, but Motor put his hand up.
“No,” he said. “We’ll use the bomb.” las opened the backpack he had been carrying with him. He took out what looked like a big metal rectangle, but I knew otherwise. It was an explosive with enough explosiveness to blow up half of this building. las attached the bomb to the table next to Pink Mafias while Houndy tied Pink up. las armed the bomb, and set it for 5 minutes. “That should give us enough time to get out of here.” las muttered.
“You guys ready?” Motor asked us. We nodded. I looked outside of the doorway. “Coast is clear,” I said. “For now.” We all headed out the door, and Boomer said,
“Well, we will see you later, Pink. Or, rather, not.” And with that, we ran out the doorway and out of the base and pretty much into hell.
* * *
Helicopters were circling the town. Matre’s unit was surrounded. They had overturned a car and were using it as cover.Matre looked desperately at his comrades. “How are we supposed to get out of this mess?” Tylo said. Matre shook his head. “I dont know,” he said. “Boomer and everyone else were supposed to help us out…” Just then, a loud BOOM shook the ground. Everyone looked up and saw flames licking the sky. An explosion had occured in the UMA base. Debris was falling from the sky, and smoke had surrounded the nearby areas. Suddenly, Danny got an idea. “Div,” he said. “Detonate the bomb!” They had planted a bomb in the Night Club earlier, it only to be detonated if absolutely necessary. Div pulled out a detonator, and flipped the switch.
“Take cover!” Div yelled. The squad ducked as the whole Night Club exploded, hitting almost all of the UMA soldiers firing at them. Debris and shrapnel went everywhere. The UMA helicopters were forced to retreat. They couldnt see a thing. Out of the smoke and fire, Matre saw Klug’s group coming back. “Lets go,” Boomer suggested. “Before the UMA comes back.”
“Pink is dead?” Danny asked. “Yes, he is dead.”
The first strike was a success.
Chapter 4:
“Keep moving,” Whispered Boomer as we ran through the woods. While the bombing and murder of Pink Mafias was a success, we had to dissappear quickly, so we got off the server in a boat and were sticking to the woods of Snow Globe, a former ACP server. Eventually, we found a clearing and rested there.
“So, what do we do now?” asked Div.
“We lie low. Weve caused 2 major incidents within the past two weeks. Theyll be watching for anything suspicious.” I said.
Motor nodded. “The Tacos have probably been deployed.” The Tacos had once been a huge army, but had surrendered to the UA and more or less had become the Nacho’s personal bounty hunting division.
“Even so,” las added, “We need supplies. I suggest me, Motor, and Klug go to buy them. We just need 3 people to look out for Tacos.” I shrugged. “Why not?” It was decided that we would go tomorrow morning.
* * *
The next morning, las, Motor, and I were at the Town in Snow Globe. “Ok,” Motor said. “Im going to go buy some food. You guys stand guard here.” He went into the store. Me and las waited outside for about 5 minutes. Two men came up into the town, with metal rods that i recognized. Metal detectors. Instinctively, my hand went to my pocket, where I had an automatic pistol. I also had a knife in my pocket. Motor and las had the same thing. The men walked up to us.
“Excuse me sirs, have you seen anything suspicious lately? We are investigating the incident at Frozen a couple of days ago, and we noticed that you two just entered the server recently. Have you seen anyone that may look like this?” The first guy held up a pretty blurry picture. It had about 10 people running away from smoke and chaos. I gulped. Us. I looked at las, who said something like this “Uhh, no. We havent seen anything suspicious. If you’ll excuse us, we have to go, er, somewhere.” He started to walk away, but the 2nd man grabbed him.
“Im afraid not. “Your coming with us,” He said. The first guy tried to grab me, but i slapped his arm away. I tried to kick him in the shins, but he pushed me to the ground. “I don’t think so.” He breathed in my ear. The civillians had started to notice what was going on, and were staring at us.
“Nothing to see here, keep moving, Police business.” The guy who had las said. He then muttered to us, “Keep moving and nobody gets hurt.” I rolled my eyes. Classic millitary cliche. They pushed us and told us to keep moving. They led us away from the town and down an alleyway. They shoved us into a store, where to my dismay, Motor was there with a third man. His supply bag was on the ground next to him.
“Who the hell are you people?” I snapped, my temper flaring. The men all smiled. They went into a back room, where they came out with familiar hats and armor. They looked like… ghosts. Motor groaned.
“Taco bounty hunters,” He groaned. The first man nodded. “Obviously. Were going to turn you into Jagger and kill you. He wasnt so pleased with you guys getting away last time.” My mind was racing. If only i could reach my knife or my gun without them noticing. I put my hand in my pocket, but one of them noticed. He shoved me back on to the ground and took the gun out of my pocket.
“Thinking of escaping,eh?” He snarled. He aimed the gun at me, obviously intending to shoot me. In that second, the world seemed to explode. At least, the wall did. Motor and las dived out of the way, and concrete parts of the wall went flying everywhere. After all the cement had stopped flying, I looked up. There was a red car that was halfway through the wall. There were a couple people in it. Out of the driver’s seat climbed Tylo, with Boomer and Danny in the back. The 3 Tacos guys were on the ground, moaning. Tylo shot them with his pistol.
“Shut up.” He turned toward us, and helped us up. “God, you guys cant stay out of trouble for 5 minutes, can you?” he complained. I brushed off my clothes and picked up my pistol from the now dead Taco guy. “Yeah, whatever. Let’s get out of here before more people arrest us.” We silently sneaked off back to our camp in the woods. The other soldiers were glad to see us when we got back, as they had been worried when Tylo left to go get us. “So, Tylo, how did you know that you should go looking for us?” Motor questioned.
Tylo looked as though he was thinking hard. “I dont know,” he explained. “I just had a feeling that you guys were in trouble, and that I should help.” las shrugged.
“It doesn’t matter. The important thing it, we aren’t dead. So, what next?” he said. Tylo practically jumped up with excitement. “Oh, yeah! I overheard two guys talking about how Akabob is going to be giving a speech in a few days. Sounds like a perfect time for an assasination, huh?” I looked at Boomer. Boomer’s expression darkened, as if he knew what was going to happen in the future.
“Unfortunately, this seems like something we need to do, not something that we should choose to do. You guys being captured shows that they are looking for us. They want us dead. We either strike now, or don’t strike at all. It has to be now. It’s going to be now. I fear, if we dont strike now, we won’t get another chance. They will hunt us down. We have to do it, whether we like it or not.”
It was decided. We would go try to kill Aka before or after his speech in two days. I only wish we were aware most of us were walking towards our deaths.
Chapter 5
“Aka is going to start speaking in 10 minutes. He should be on his way soon. It’s now or never.”
“Right,” I muttered. “Team two in position?” Boomer nodded.
“Good,” Ias grinned. “Now all we have to do is wait. Good thing we had all those riots making it easier for us to get in, huh?” After the explosions at Frozen, civillians had started small riots all across every server, demanding to know what was going on. Akabob and the government had promised to reveal what was happening during his speech. There had also been reports of soldiers in UMA or Nachos quitting or leaving mysteriously. We suspected that they had been former ACP soldiers or soldiers that were opposed to the ruling of the UA and knew what was going on.
“I suppose,” grunted Motor. The others were in team 2, behind where Aka would be speaking. Just incase we missed the snipe. We waited for a minute. Finally, Akabob walked out. The crowd gave a roar of applause. Aka waved his hand as he stepped up to the podium and the applause stopped. Aka breathed deeply, and started his speech.
“Ladies and Gentleman of the UA Empire,” Aka began. “There have been a series of attacks on our Empire. It started with the assasination of Pink Mafias and the blowing up of two buildings. We have been searching for the terrorists and we believe we have figured out who they are. My associate Jagger will proceed for now.” The crowd applauded politely and a man stood up. Jagger. He had killed Chapa, what felt like ages ago. Anger boiled in my chest. I turned to Boomer.
“Should we kill them both?” Boomer nodded. I motioned for everyone else to take out their sniper rifles. I took mine out and aimed the scope at Jagger.
Jagger was saying something. “These terrorists are former ACP soldiers. I used to know them… but now my mission is to kill them.” I looked at my friends. “I got Jagger. You guys shoot for Aka. Me first.” We aimed our scopes. I aimed for Jagger’s head. I wanted to knock off his stupid mask and find out who he was once he was dead.
“Shoot.”
Chapter 6
Right before I shot, Jagger glanced at Aka. He seemed to yell something sharply to Aka. Aka dropped down as well as Jagger. I shot wildly, but missed.
“What the hell!” I shouted, turning to my friends. Boomer was pale.
“They must’ve seen us. We need to go, now.” Already Nacho soldiers were coming out of everywhere. They were obviously hiding during the speech in case something like this happened. At the same time, gunfire poured out from behind us. But not at us. At the Nachos. I turned around. Random people with guns were storming the place! I grabbed one of them, who seemed to be giving commands, and spun him around to me.
“What’s going on?” I demanded. The guy turned around, and I recognized him. It was Iceyfeet1234, leader of the Ice Warriors until they fell. “We are taking a last stand. The Ice Warriors, anyway.” He eyed us. “Who are you?”
“We’re ACP soldiers. We’re trying to kill Aka.” Icey’s face warmed. “Glad to be working with you. Oh, now I remember you. Your Klug!” I smiled and nodded.
I turned to Boomer. “We need to get to Aka before he can get out of there.” I looked at Ias and Motor.
“Don’t worry,” Motor said. “We’ll cover you.” They turned and began sniping again. Me and Boomer grabbed assault rifles and charged into the middle of the chaos. Nacho soldiers were shooting, rebel Ice Warriors were returning fire, the other ACP soldiers were trying to find us. We ran into Tylo and Danny, who had been seperated from the rest of Team Two. We began carving our way through the crowd, shooting any Nachos we came by and looking for Aka and Jagger. After a while, I had almost given up when Danny shouted, “There!” He pointed. Running towards a car was Aka, Jagger, and a couple of other Nachos. We headed straight for them. Tylo raised his gun and shot the car’s tires, rendering it unable to move.
Jagger took out a pistol and started firing. One of the bullets happened to hit Danny. He went down. I turned to see if he was all right, but he just said, “Klug, keep going. I’ll be fine. Kill him.” My brain fuming, I turned back to the battle. Boomer and Tylo had started hand to hand combat against Jagger, who had lost his pistol. I raised my gun and looked for Aka, but he had hidden behind the car, his two Nacho bodyguards firing from behind it. I shot them both and ran over behind the car. Aka was standing there, a knife in his hand. I swung my gun at Aka’s arm, but he dodged me and aimed a stab at my chest. I dodged it narrowly.
“NO!” Yelled a voice. I turned around and saw Boomer, lying on the ground, blood pouring out of his chest. Tylo had screamed. Jagger had stabbed him. Tylo rounded on Jagger now, a look of fury I had never seen on his face before.
“You-son-of-a-bitch.”
Chapter 7
Tylo pulled something out of his belt. That something happened to be a knife. Just then, I realized that Aka was still standing there, just as shocked as I was. Not stupid enough to let him get away, I seized his arms and pushed him down on the car in front of me.
“Stay down if you want to live a little longer,” I breathed into Aka’s ear. Tylo was swinging at Jagger with all his might, fury etched in stone on his face. Jagger was trying his best to stay out of the way of Tylo’s knife. After Tylo’s sixth swing, Jagger began to unleash a storm of punches on Tylo. Tylo tried to back off, but he couldn’t get out of the way of the punches. Tylo swung again with his knife, and he managed to get Jagger this time. In the chest.
Jagger, in the moment before the pain kicked in, punched Tylo in the jaw, instantly knocking him out. He then staggered backwards and fell to the ground. As he fell, his helmet was knocked off. Ktman lay on the ground, bleeding profusely.
Shocked, I whispered, “Kt?” I looked down at Aka. I didn’t see Aka. What I did see, however, was Aka’s fist, slamming into my face.
“Agh-” I stumbled backwards, holding my face. Aka was walking towards me, taking no time to getting to me. He swung his fist again at me, but I managed to block it with my hand. I punched back at him, but only managed to get a glancing blow. Aka smiled. “It’s not even worth it, Klug, You’re too tired to fight me. You can’t win.” I did not respond with words, only by kneeing him in the stomach. Aka doubled over in pain. I wound up to punch Aka again before he could get back up, but he grabbed my arm and threw me to the ground. Standing back up, Aka sneered at me, a look of loathing that I had never seen on anyone’s face before.
“You actually think,” he started. “That you could defeat ME? I’m the greatest leader of all time. In ANY army. I have conquered all of Club Penguin. And I will not let you and your filthy band of former soldiers change that. Goodbye, Klug. I have given you chance to live peacefully under the Nacho’s reign. You chose to fight. Now you die.” Aka picked up a pistol someone had dropped on the ground. “I’ll see you in hell.”
Aka raised the gun to shoot me. He started to pull the trigger, but stopped. He staggered forwards, then backwards, then fell to the ground. He had a knife in his back. Standing where Aka had been moments before was Kt,the knife that had stabbed him in Aka’s back.
Chapter 8
Kt staggered backwards once again and fell. I got up and walked over to him, my heart pumping.
“Kt…” I said. “Why? Why did you try to kill us so many times? I thought you had died in the nuclear explosions.” Kt smiled weakly.
“I became this because of Meat,” he said. “He managed to convince me that we needed to change ACP. We were going to kill Dryvit, but he died in the explosions. I don’t know how I survived. Meat had died. I was taken prisoner by the Nachos until Aka offered me a job as a bounty hunter. I was successful, as you know. I killed people that were in the ACP. I killed my friends, people I had known for years. In the heat of the moment right now, I realized how wrong I was. The only way I could fix it was to kill Aka.” Kt’s breath came in sharp, short bursts now.
He sighed. “My time is almost up. Do me a favor, Klug. If you guys ever get out of this mess, I’d like to be recognized as a traitor who changed his ways. I want everyone to know that I am sorry for what I’ve done, the lives I’ve taken.” And Ktman drew his last breath, then lay down, never to breathe again.
* * *
I was afraid to stay there any longer. I felt as if I stood there longer, I would never be able to leave. I walked away from Kt’s body, over to Boomer, who was still bleeding. I put my hand on Boomer’s chest. “You okay, Boomer?”
“I think-” He let out a gasp of pain “No. Did you kill Aka?” I nodded, and he managed a weak smile. “Good. Now I won’t feel bad about leaving…”
Now I frowned. “What do you mean, leaving?” Boomer sighed. “I’m dying.”
I gasped. “Boomer, we can get you to a doctor. You’ll be okay.”
Boomer just smiled. “No I’m not.” And he too breathed for the last time.
Fortunately, not everyone died during the battle. Tylo was okay once he woke up from his brief stint as unconcious dude in the backround. Motor, las, and Div were among the other survivors. Unfortunately, we could not find Danny, who had told me he would be okay. We found out later that the Ice Warriors rebels had pushed the Nachos out of the western part of the server. As my friends and I walked away, Div asked, “Is it all over?” For now it was. But it would be another year before the ACP was officially rebuilt, another year before lasgae became leader, another year before the Nacho Army finally surrendered to the combined forces of the new ACP and IW.

Ooooh, this is awesome
