Independence Day Event part I

Federico, Joaquin, Doctor Middle Finger, Alpha Purple Warrior, and Peace Inc. those five are the ones who will take part on the event.

the event will take place in different areas outside of the city. there are seven points. in each place there is a small mission. you choose one side or the other one. there is an option for a naval battle or a ground battle. this event is easier than the last one.

right now Joaquin march to the front. the others follow. they are on the South-West side of the map. they are at seventy-two meters away from the city. they can use thematic clothing for the event.

the rules of the Event are simple. each point is meant to represent a real event. to win the point they need to find a especial coin. it may sound simple. jet it ain't easy.

they are standing now on the old white house.

[announcement: your mission is to find the hidden coin before the Old White House is burned by the Zombie British Soldiers.]

[announcement: you have one hour to find the coin.]

Joaquin regrets being the one who chose to come here. all doors are lock. the only way out is to find the coin before becoming roasted chicken. this is a hard event. the worst part is that there are some zombies inside. they made things harder.

Federico is laughing. he tries to cover his mouth. he can't stop laughing. Federico looks at Joaquin's angry face. he stops laughing as he feels uncomfortable. everyone is looking at him right now.

Peace Inc feels weird. she left not so long ago. she became a neutral player. she couldn't fight against the guilt of taking lives in order to live. but she can't leave. her brother is still fighting. he has done so much for her.

one day Peace Inc was thinking about Don-Savage. he sacrificed so much for her. she can't be an ungrateful sister. she felt like it was her turn to do something for him. so now she has come back. she is going to stay to fight at her brother's side. till the end.

Alpha Purple Warrior drinks some water. he is reading a history book. he then looks at Joaquin and Federico. he closes the book. "so the first white house was burned. then can we fight back? the game is not accurate with history. zombies aren't on the books."

maybe their mission isn't to find the coin. maybe it is to stop the white house from burning on the hands of zombie soldiers. you never know until you try first. there is a time limit given. the rules may be a hint to the actual mission.

Doctor Middle Finger looks at a zombie. the zombie is wearing military clothing. the zombie looks at all of them. it makes a sound. it turns around and leaves. the zombie didn't wanted to fight. the zombie is on the American Army side.

Joaquin has two bottles of liquor on his inventory. he haven't drink any. not since Chicken Wrath's death. (only Beau knew that Chicken Wrath was alive.) Joaquin has being avoiding all liquor. he only looks at it. the bottles are more like a good luck charm.

there are some zombies coming. Federico takes two pistols out. he shoots ten times. every bullet hit the heads of the zombies once or twice. the zombies fall dead. Federico mostly goes overboard when he is holding a gun. Federico loves to brag about his skills.

"okay. I need everyone's attention now. the zombies here are weak. so we will all walk by ourselves around of the place. we need to find the coin pronto."

"leader isn't your choice a bit risky. especially if we remember what happened with the first Event we took as a guild. we lose a member. almost everyone died then."

"I know and I am ready to take responsibility for my words. and with more reason we should walk by ourselves. this point is going to be our meeting place. we need to take action now. we don't have much time to play around."

"I object Joaquin. you are a damn great leader and a fucking great strategist. jet you fail to see the whole picture under pressure. let's think about it before taking action."

"Federico I know we have our differences. fuck it, we hate each other. I can't see myself to agree to your selfish demands. we are running out of time."

there was a struggle of power and ego between them. they couldn't agree on one thing. after another argument of five minutes. Federico finally gave up on his solution. he walked by himself. the first white house isn't that big. but to find a coin will take time.

then a zombie walked behind of him. Federico turns around. the zombie didn't attack. it was just there standing. Federico commented on the zombie's clothing. the zombie took it on a good way and left.

Federico gets inside of an office. there are some documents and some books. Federico finds a coin and a key.

[announcement: you found a coin and the key to open the arsenal room.]

[announcement: the actual mission begins now. you have to stop the British army from burning down the First White House.]

[announcement: you have 20 minutes before the enemy arrives. get your weapons soldier.]

"fuck I knew it. well how bad can it get? wait a damn minute, zombies with weapons. oh no, it is really going to be an actual struggle. can't any of the special Events be normal? like simple normal for once."

as Federico was arguing with himself. Joaquin walked behind of him, "no." he said as an answer to Federico's question. he takes the key from Federico's hands. he walks directly towards the arsenal room. he opens the door.

there is a huge smile drawn on Joaquin's face. he likes what he sees. he may have a good weapon on his hands. jet the weapons on here aren't half bad. everyone else looks at the arsenal. they all take ammunition and some heavy weapons.

Alpha Purple Warrior takes a bazooka. he can control fire. but it takes too much energy when is use for long time. a weapon can make things easier.

even Doctor Middle Finger took some weapons. he is the weakest of them. jet he is the person who tries the hardest. also he is a good doctor.

Willow takes a shotgun, some daggers, gasoline, and grenades. Willow isn't completely ready to go back to the guild. she isn't ready to become a proper player. she is afraid of having the blood of others on her hands. she is afraid of becoming a monster.

just the idea of taking another life. no matter if it is someone good or bad. it is too much for her mental health. to even hurt someone else is too much. but she told herself to be strong and not just for her. but also for her brother.

Alpha Purple Warrior has a heavy weight on his shoulders. it isn't just responsibility. he has being fighting his inner demons. his desire to become a better person. he doesn't want to ever be the man of his past. there is a need to change for better.

Doctor Middle Finger's has his own demons. in all this time he has felt like extra weight. he has an inner struggle. he tries really hard to be strong, to be a support to others. jet the only thing he can afford is a half-baked skill. he isn't capable of protecting others. he can't even protect himself. he is just a healer. there is no trust on himself.

Joaquin is a broken soul with too many mistakes holding him back. he can't even give a step forward. he is always doubting of himself as a leader. he is afraid of becoming a failure to others. he is afraid of becoming the cause of someone else's death.

Federico isn't either okay, nor stable right now. losing Pandora's faith affected him. jet there is something bigger dragging him. there is a huge shadow of the past. a shadow that started as a stain, little by little it has grown to be almost a black hole on the soul.

Federico's inner struggle is one that is hard to overcome. impossible to forget. the struggle was for a second almost erased. but now that he is once more alone. now that he is sober of emotions. it is now that he becomes one with the shadow.

you can't deny his effort to overcome all pain by ignoring it. it was enough as it lasted. he was able to close a door, a door that fell off on pieces. now all that is left is to take it. and to accept that there was never an escape, there was no way out of it.

who am I? who knows, who are you? only you know. oh, the fingerprints that your past left behind will work to build a puzzle, even with the missing pieces.

they are all the forgotten mortals of the world. humans of dust. most mortals live with the idea of being the center of the world. and most of them are gone like dust. they live to die on oblivion. they die to be erased from the history books.

the world can give its back to them. they can be expel from their homes. they can be the biggest sinners of the world. but even so they are trying to fight to survive. they fight to fight another day. even so they want to live.

the members of Bravo-Holy Mommy-One aren't all good, nor are they innocent. they all have stains on their past. they all have some darkness. jet they all try their best. they don't only try to survive, but they try to keep their humanity.

now that everyone has a weapon. now that they all are ready. the next step is to go to the front door. the next step is to wait for the zombie army to attack. the zombies may be normal or even mediocre. what matters is how many are they attacking.

Joaquin opens the front door. they all take their positions. they have ten more minutes before the arrival of the zombie army. they only need to wait patiently. the time is walking slowly second by second.

Doctor Middle Finger's hands are trembling. this isn't his first rodeo. but this is a really important event to happen. anything can go wrong. so far many of them had barely survived the hard tasks from each chapter. the game is just becoming harder.

there is a crow flying on the sky. it moves around on circles. it has come like an omen, like a messenger of what is to come. the voice of the crow sounds like a Banshee. it is like the screams of a Banshee. is death or danger coming? who knows.

there are more crows flying on the sky. a murder of crows looking down on everything. they seem to laugh for the mortal's fate. the crows rejoice with mocking laughter. then for fear or boredom. every crow leaves. only a feather is left.

the wind blows making loud noises, the wind seems to create tares. the wind wants to provoke the hearts of the mortals. as they await for the upcoming battle. every step, every movement becomes a battle of its own. now lets wait to see the outcome.

Joaquin is nervous. he is terrified of letting down his team. but even when he doubts himself and his leadership. Joaquin tries to hide those emotions. he tries to keep a calm behavior to give peace to the others. he wants to hold all the weight on his shoulders.

"to be the leader doesn't mean to put all the weight on your shoulders. a team is about sharing. not just food, clothing, or shelter. it is also to share responsibilities."

Joaquin looks at Federico. he felt more tranquil with those few words.
