The Aftermath

The aftermath of the successful operation left the rebels elated, but the euphoria was short-lived. The Council’s response was swift and brutal, signaling that they were far from defeated. The rebels knew they had to prepare for a backlash that would test their resilience and unity.

Inside the hideout, the atmosphere was tense yet focused. Ada and Jidenna worked tirelessly to prepare their team for the potential storm. Their recent victory had dealt a blow to the Council, but they were well aware that this would provoke retaliation.

“We need to stay sharp,” Ada said, addressing the gathered rebels. Her voice carried a calm authority that commanded attention. “The Council will come at us hard, but we’ve shown them that we can hit back. Now, we need to be ready for anything.”
