Chapter Four: The Betrayal
The trio left the control room with their guards. Elwood told them they didn’t have time to learn names so they pushed onward to the armory. Gun shots no longer could be heard in the compound. The silence felt unusual but at the same time relaxing. Stan and SJ did not want to get into another shoot out. “The armory is at the end of the hallway, stay vigilant of your surroundings.” whispered Elwood. They had begun slowing their pace drastically as they approached the armory. When they go to the door they noticed it was open and Elwood signaled the guards to get in position. Two of them got on both sides of the door and looked in. They saw bodies on the floor but no people. Just in case, Elwood had one guard dash in to take cover and force any hidden enemies out. The guard was given the go ahead and rushed inside only to be immediately shot to death. The other guard at the door opened fire spraying randomly into the room. From inside men shouted “Stop shooting! Hold your fire!”. Elwood told the guard to stop and then listened and when their was no response he shouted in return “Why did you shoot my guard?”. “It was just a reaction, we have been through alot and have no idea how many intruders got into the compound.”. Elwood replied “How can we trust you?”. Jason felt it was time for him to speak up.
Silently he spoke, “open fire when I give the signal”. The soldiers were shocked. “Why are we going to shoot, aren’t they friendlies?” they asked. Jason responded saying “They are traitors working with the intruders, I have been investigating Elwood for some time”. He then spoke loud enough for Elwood to hear. “It’s me Jason, we only took the armory not too long ago”. “I am sending a guard in” shouted Elwood. “I can’t do this” said one soldier inside the armory. Two others agreed and Jason asked one for his gun. He then shot all three of them in the head as Elwood’s guard entered the room. He then stood from cover and shot at the guard. The other soldiers opened fire out of fear. The guard who entered the room had already gotten to cover and was returning fire. The remaining two guards outside got on both sides of the door and attempted to return fire as well. The sudden turn of events horrified Stan and he had to sit down against the wall in disbelief. Elwood and SJ could only wait for the outcome so they too sat down. The guard inside turned out to be doing surprising well. He took out one enemy soldier immediately and in turn got hit in the leg. He crashed to the floor, but did not give up. He pulled himself up and returned fire once again. Another enemy dropped lifelessly to the ground and then another tried to surrender and was shot by the guards at the door. The guard in the room dove to cover closer to the enemies and fire a few more shots before reloading. Jason ordered a soldier to rush around the room and kill the guard. The guard whipped out his sidearm the moment he noticed movement coming towards him. Three shots rang out in the room and everyone else stopped shooting. Everyone had begun to reload while the guard inside was losing a lot of blood from his arm now. A fresh body laid next to him. Jason was getting irritated and was about to stand up when the guard came rushing from cover. Trailing blood the guard sprinted fast toward Jason and opened fire hitting the remaining soldier in the chest. He back in pain but returned fire and sent the guard to the ground. Just as the guards vision was beginning to fade he saw Jason shoot the soldier in the head and start walking over to himself. He took one large last breath raised his gun and shot Jason in the neck.
Seconds later the trio outside and their remaining two guards rushed in and headed to the mass of fresh bodies. Elwood stopped at the body of the first guard and directed one of his remaining guards. She went to the door and peered outside to keep watch. The other guard went with SJ and Stan over to the body of the second guard. Stan stopped at the body while SJ moved to check Jason’s body. Stan reached down to grab the man's dog tag. There was no name on it, but rather a nickname was on it. The tag read “Dragon Knight” and Stan was puzzled at the meaning of the nickname. He turned around and asked the guard their name. “My name is Larry” replied the guard. “Why was he called Dragon Knight” asked Stan. “He was always wanted to fly and always wanted to die fighting for something” said Larry. Meanwhile SJ had found Jason’s tag and was shocked at what he saw. This man had the same name as the body they checked back in Great View. He couldn’t think of an explanation and decided to tell Elwood just in-case. As he walked over to Elwood he spotted movement on his right. Two shots rang out in the room as a soldier shot Elwood in the chest and then got shot by Larry. Elwood began to succumb to death immediately. He was desperately gasping for air showing that the bullet punctured his lung. Normally people would not die this quickly but Elwood was not in the greatest condition and was losing loads of blood. Everyone in the room rushed over to Elwood and tried to stop his bleeding. It was too late, Elwood gave his last breath. The situation made SJ almost forget but he spoke up and told everyone what he found. The two guards whispered to each other and then mentioned the intruders were most likely an organized cult seeking to destroy agencies like their own. Stan interrupted them and looked at the fourth guard while saying “we’ve been through alot but I haven’t gotten your name yet”. “My name is Angel and I think we need to leave this place as soon as possible. We can’t forget that this place is going to blow soon. The four got up, walked to the door, peeked outside, and moved to exit the facility. The entire way was silent and clear of people. Before they emerged from the compound Larry began talking. “If the intruders really were part of a cult then we need to get out of here quickly and go track down and kill the others”. A man stood up infront of them. The four reacted instantly but backed down when seeing he was unarmed.
