花季v3.0.2

With no other method or healing pills available, the burn mark would become permanent as this was something that bill would have to live with for the rest of his life.

In the middle of the night, all of the members of the freedom fighters had a meeting at Albert\'s bed once again.

Albert stood up as he addressed the group one final time.

"My brothers, tonight is the night that all of you will achieve that freedom that you so rightfully deserve. Through the efforts of all of you people, we finally have all pieces set for us as we just have to roll the die and see what fate has in store for us because I am not going to reassure or give anyone false hope."

This speech was very moving for many people but for Albert, it was painful as these were the exact words he spoke many times before when he had planned an escape, and every time it resulted in failure.

"I will go over the plan one more time so that all of you are on the same page. Through the efforts of Toby and Peter, we have acquired a uniform of the guards, and from the painful effort of Bill, we have the key leading to the weapon\'s room. Now, Philip will put on the guard costume and will try to make his way to the weapons vault."

Everyone was in agreement with one another as Albert continued to narrate the plan.

"All ability users will go with Philip and provide backup as the strongest guards that are on patrol are of Level 4 variety. We have the element of surprise as if we attack before they can activate any defensive measures, taking them out will be possible. Once your lot will reach the weapons room, grab as many weapons as possible and through them down the laundry chute that is the next room."

"I and the rest of the people here will be on duty there and will be able to take the two guards that are watching over us in there with ease. After that we will all meet up near the main exit gate \'2B\', where we will have our last stand; whether we escape or die trying will all be determined by the amount of time we can buy Ramsay to overload the locking mechanism and open the main exit."

The atmosphere turned gloomy as all the workers knew about the risk and the chances of them escaping were minimal, yet they were determined to make it work.

The following night, Albert\'s plan was put into effect as Philip along with Bill and a few other ability users slowly and cautiously made their way toward the weapon room without having any major hiccups. They arrived at the weapon\'s room, and smoothly opened it to find that no one was inside the room which was a bonus.

They loaded as many batons, whips, and whatever they could find and sent them down the laundry chute next door while also picking weapons that would suit their ability as well. Bill noticed that there were also two power weapons stored in the room, and he decided to take one of them which was a gauntlet while a lightning ability user took the other one which was a staff.

As soon as the weapons reached Albert and the rest of the gang, he yelled out.

"Everybody attack!"

The two guards were caught off guard and didn\'t react quickly enough when two boys electrocuted them using the batons on the max setting. The guards immediately went unconscious but that didn\'t stop the boys to continue attacking their bodies.

"Now let\'s see whether you like getting shocked over and over again!" The boy shouted as he took another swing.

Before the baton could make contact with the guard\'s body, suddenly something stopped the boy\'s arm from going further.

"No Boy! Don\'t do this! If you do, then there will be no difference between you and these gutless monsters. Calm yourself, and focus on the main plan. Escape!" Albert lovingly lectured the kid as he calmed the boy\'s raging mind.

The rest of the gang also picked up their weapons and made their way to the exit door. Bill and the rest of the people he was with also took some weapons for themselves as they hurried their way toward the exit.

Within mere minutes, the two groups reunited with each other and immediately went on guard.

"Ramsay, It\'s all up to you now, hurry up before the guards are even alerted!" Albert shouted towards a young man, but before he could take a single step the sound of slow clapping resounded throughout the entire hall.

*CLAP**CLAP**CLAP*

"Bravo! Gentlemen, Bravo!" A voice resounded from the dark hallway as the lights slowly started to flicker on one by one to see 30 armed guards and the main supervisor clapping.

"For you to have the nerve of crossing our boss once for which you ended up in here, and now for a second time by trying to escape your fate! It is truly admirable." The supervisor said as he continued to clap.

All of a sudden the clapping ended, and out came from the crowd someone who nobody expected to see.

"ANDY!?" Bill shouted in utter shock and confusion.

"This worker told us of your plan to escape, otherwise it would have been a successful escape." the supervisor taunted the group who just showing faces of complete and utter shock and despair.

Bill however was having none of it. Andy was the first friend that he had made here and he was the one who recommended him to join the escape party in the first place. Bill had already given too much for this plan to fail as he would not back down.

Bill whispered to Ramsay who was standing right behind him,

"Listen, Ramsay, I am not giving up. You have a short height and you should be able to hide from the guards while you work on the door. Whatever happens, we will protect you to the end so you just focus on getting that damn door open."

Ramsay immediately understood what Bill meant. It was better to die trying than to be slaves again. At a moment\'s notice, Ramsay sneaked through the crowd and started unscrewing the main control panel. Bill decided to buy as much time as possible for Ramsay.

"Why Andy?! We asked you to join as well, you heard what he said. If you had kept your damn mouth shut, we could have escaped this place together so WHY!?"

Finally, there was a reaction from Andy as he just started to laugh and laugh. All the guards and even the supervisor joined in as they all laughed at the group as if they were in a comedy show.

"He he he he he! You\'re an idiot if you couldn\'t even figure that much out for yourself, and to think that El-Diablo actually liked you!" Andy mocked Bill as he resumed his laughing.

"What in the hell do you mean?!" Bill shouted unable to keep his anger in check.

"Allow me to explain Mr. Johnson!" The supervisor chimed in.

"You see Andy here is just an undercover agent tasked with finding any plans that troublemakers like you make so that we could exterminate it before it became a problem. This also served as a reminder to the remaining workers as to what would happen, if they tried to escape, but I guess there are always stubborn people like you in the world that need to be dealt with properly!"

The words hit Bill right in the heart as it was a heavy emotional blow, but no one was as hurt as Albert himself.

"So you were the reason why all my plans failed right at the end! It was because of you, that I have the blood of many young men and boys on my hands! You were always offered the escape, you always listened but never took the offer. I was so stupid as I didn\'t see through your disguise!" Albert shouted at Andy who only nodded while continuing to laugh like a madman.

"Well, I think this has lasted for long enough! Guards, Show no mercy!" The supervisors charged forward.

Bill immediately ran in front of the group and conjured a massive earth wall to buy some more time as he addressed the group.

"Listen, everyone! Ramsay is already working on the gate! My Earth barrier won\'t hold them for long! This is our last chance at freedom! Fight! Fight so you may see your friends and family again! Protect Ramsay at all costs! There is no surrender as that would mean Death!"

The wall of Earth crumbled in the next moments as all twenty-five of the freedom fighters were gripping their weapons tightly, ready to die trying to earn their freedom.

The supervisor seeing the determination in them started laughing again while also shouting out orders to his men.

"Don\'t leave a single one alive! Charge!"

"FIGHT!!!"
