Gael is absolutely angry that he was just outsmarted by an old man. All the power and control he thought he had just disappeared in an instant. He knows he can't be stupid as they will kill him if he does something they hate.
Gael looks around frantically, and all he can see are Lurkers. They are all pointing their guns at him, and they are smiling as well, they want to kill him. They are at every window, and corner just looking at him with evil grins.
The elders looks at Gael. "So, what do we do know boss?" Sam says sarcastically as he knows they can't escape this situation. Gael wants to scream at Sam for disrespecting him, but they are his only protection.
All the elders are pointing at differently directions, but they know the outcome already. "Well Gael unlike you, we aren't scared to die right now. We have lived for way too long in this profession, more of us think that way. We are getting too old to continue this type of work, and we are tired." Sam says.
"Yeah he is right about everything, we will only fight with you because of one reason. We want to protect Ashly before we die as we couldn't do anything when she grew up. We are bad people for not raising that girl when we had the option to do so." Kriston says and the others agree. "You're on your on Gael, we won't protect you."
"You are all traitors, you should be loyal to me." Gael pulls his gun ,out and points it at Sam and he looks up. "If you all kill me right now my remaining men will find out. They will hunt you all down for revenge, and they won't stop until you are all dead!" He yells out to the Lurkers.
"Sure we are outnumbered, but it works in our favor for targeting others. My men can be sneaky at times, and they are going to have fun killing you all." Gael says as he begins to look around again.
"Just shot me already if you are all brave enough to die." Gael says and the elders sigh as they have their hands on the trigger, Ashly looks at Daniel and he nods. Ashly is confident, and this is a show she can't believe she is witnessing.
Daniel can't believe his eyes, they have just won, and they are going to be free. Well more so Ashly is going to be free, the Lukrer who will be weaker are still going to exist. He hopes that the Zoryem keep their part of the deal and raise hell. He wants them to wipe out as many Lurkers as they could without too many losses.
In just a few more minutes they are going to be set free. After a few minutes of nothing happening, it's clear that Gael is the one who is scared the most. No one is daring to shoot first as they are all waiting for the other to initiate it.
The elders all look a bit tensed up, but not scared, Gael is sweating hard. Omar is smiling as he has already entered the building where Lucas and Amir are waiting.
"Alright, I did everything that was on my side of the deal, we should leave before anything happens." Omar says and they all agree, but a man enters the building as well. "Wait why are you here? You're here way to early." Omar asks the Zoryem.
"Yeah sorry, but a few things changed while you were planning this whole thing." The Zoryem said, and they all hear a gunshot, they turn around and see that an elder is dead. Gael has ducked, and Omar can see a Zoryem lowering his gun.
"This wasn't supposed to happen you idiot!" Omar yells at him. "You were all supposed to appear much later after the conflict started. Your jobs were to thin out the enemies when they are distracted fighting each other!"
"Well that's to bad, we are already beginning to approach this area." The Zoryem says, and then more gunshots can be heard, it's a multitude of shots. The battle has begun, but much earlier than Omar wanted, the Zoryem appearing early was the real issue.
"You are lucky we want all of them dead, but Ashly and Daniel are still in the center." Omar says as he gets closer to the Zoryem.
"Oh right those two, yeah I totally forgot about them. Well I sure do hope that you made sure to tell those bastards to not shot them." The Zoryem said as he isn't a bit concerned by this as it's not his problem.
Amir and Lucas look at Omar. "Hey don't worry, I made sure to not kill them, I said our leader would handle them. They bought that immediately so as far as I know they are sort of safe."
"Well if you want them to truly be safe, you all will have to get them yourselfs." They all look at the Zoryem. "We agreed to not hurt them, but we didn't say anything about saving them." Lucas and Amir both then run outside, and Omar tries to grab them but fails.
Neither the Lurkers nor the Zoreym are going to shot at them or so they hope. Daniel feels relief as he spots them both running at them to save their life's. Lucas and Amir pull out two small knifes, Ashly can see how scared they both look. It seems that the elders weren't the only people brought in as people are still shooting at each other.
Amir and Lucas desperately cut the ropes as fast as they could. They finally cut the ropes, and free them both. Ashly and Daniel take the cloth off their faces. They all begin to run back inside the building where Omar was in.
Ashly and Daniel are breathing rapidly. "I couldn't breath property for hours, I think I passed out a few times." Ahsly says.
"Yeah she isn't lying, I passed out twice already, but we are now free." Danile says as he leans against a wall. "I'm glad that the plan worked out even if it wasn't how I imagined it." Amir then runs up and hugs Daniel.
"I'm so glad that you're here Daniel, I was scared that it wouldn't work. I thought it was going to fail, but now that your here with me, I'm confident about it." Amir says as his heart is beating fast.
Ashly smirks at their reunion, and she turns to Lucas who smiles at her. Ashly puts her hands up. "Lucas don't try to hug me as I'm not really comfortable with that stuff." Ashly says as Lucas was leaning in.
Lucas backs off a bit and they both stand there awkwardly. "I'm glad that you saved our lives, but you're both stupid for risking your lives like that. You two could of died, and we would of witnessed it with our own eyes." Ashly says, and both Amir and Lucas look away.
"Look Lucas, I appreciate you, but I just don't want to hug someone." Ashly says and Lucas understands, but that doesn't make it less awkward.
"Well I'm sorry to break this reunion, but we have to leave now. I don't mind you all planing to stay and fight, but I'm not going to take part in it." Omar says, and this snaps Amir and Daniel back.
"Well we can't run away as Gael made sure to bring more men. He is cautious and thought that if they struggled they could come in, and surround the area. About half of the gang is going to come, and they aren't going to be easy to handle." Ashly says as she points outside.
Lucas pulls out Ashly's gun, and hands it to her. "You'll need this Ashly." Lucas says and Ashly pats his back, Amir hands a gun to Danile as well. "We will all need protection, and we aren't going to be sitting targets."
"Yeah don't worry Lucas I knew we had to fight, I'll get rid of these bastards." Ashly then turns to Omar. "Well Gale used the elders as his shield to not die, he ran inside a building so he is still alive. He could of killed us, but since he didn't, I assume he ran away or he is in a fight." Ashly says as she checks the amount of ammunition she was given.
"I think she is right about the fighting as I heard gunshots within. He brought one of those old men with him so I believe he is alive. We have to make sure everyone dies, and we keep ourself safe." Daniel says as he looks out to the window for a second.
"As long as we stay inside we are pretty safe, as far as I know only the Lurkers are inside these buildings. We just need to wait a bit, and the Zoryem will arrive and kill them for us." Lucas says as he has to prepare to fight with them.
"Listen everyone, I'm just going to hide as I did my part. I just want to survive so I'll be happy if you let me just hide." Omar says, and they all agree.
"I'll start killing now since I don't want to risk being spotted. The Lurkers are still my enemy so this won't be much trouble for me." Ashly says.
Ashly moves closer to the window Daniel was next to, and they begin shooting. Ashly manages to kill two while Daniel kills three Lurkers. They won't get caught as the Lurkers are too busy shooting at the other gang.
The Zoryem are engaging in a fight with the Iron Deadlock members outside. They will make sure no one escapes or enters Blackstone. They are going to slowly kill them all one at a time if necessary, most of them are going to enter the buildings when they get the chance. They are hiding within the snow, and they have to be smart about who they kill.
After a few more minutes Flowers begins to move, it's a bit over the time the negotiation started. "I can't wait any longer, it started already, and I want to end this now." Azalea says as he looked forwards.
"Be mindful Azalea, they helped us make this plan." Petinua says, and Rose pats Azalea's back to calm him down.
"I'm the most experienced member after Robert, it's only fair for me to be in danger. I'll enter the place, and kill them while you two stay outside and thin out the other members. I want you two to be safe, and make sure that no one leaves this place alive." Azalea says as they get on some horses.
"It would be terrible if one of them escapes, and tells their gang about the situation. I doubt the SDA has enough man power to fight a whole gang. We have requested some help from Maiven, but they said that they didn't want to help us but they will be vigilante." Azalea says as he wipes his forehead.
Rose is right behind them, and he stays silent, they have to perform perfectly. The stakes are to high for failure, and anything else than perfection.
"Well Azalea, I believe that the Zoryem will be there as well, I have suspicions that prove me right. They had too much information to not have someone within that conflict. Besides that one member talked big, and got angry when we dismissed their group. He was angry even thought he came here or make them look like they weren't dangerous criminals." Petunia says to Azalea as he begins to think more. "They are going to be the only group left afterwards so we have to do something."
"I don't want to believe in that, but we have to imagine every possible outcome. If they are spotted fighting we will kil them even with the deal we made with them.
Rose agrees with Azalea. "Listen, I want you two to be safe, kill anyone suspicious." Azalea says, and Petunia says that he udnerstands.
