Now you see what happened was....
Get ready. We'll cross into Church territory soon.
The 400th Reapers and 60th Watchful Eyes were on the move with the Assassin and the Watcher leading them deep into the Theocracy to free all the slaves and prisoners the Church of Humanity and the Theocracy where holding. This is Operation Oath-Breaker, rescue these groups, bring them to New Ottawa before the bombers began their runs and especially before the nuke was delivered as a final blow to the enemy.
As they enter the city, the Reapers begin entering slave dungeons, releasing prisoners without a sound.
First dungeon cleared. Heading to the second.
Copy that. We've cleared out one storehouse, nothing of value of interest.
Was the groups make their across the city, escaped slaves are being helped out of the city.
As the Watcher and Assassin enter a dungeon, they run into a complication.
Sirs, we have several minor ranked priests inside.
Well now. Orders are to liberated these dungeons no matter the cost. Assassin, we move in together, everyone else moves on to the rest.
I was hoping I'd get a few priests to play with. Grinned the Assassin licking his blade.
Inside the dungeon, nobody was even aware of the danger above them.
Stupid runts. Always pass out before I get my fill.
Take it easy. There are plenty more to satisfy that fist of yours.
The priest lines up a punch at another slave then the head of a guard sails past them and splatters on the wall.
Sorry to interrupt fellas, but I thought god was against abuse?
HA! Shows what you peasants know! God allows us to beat the living shit out of these abominations!
Well in that case... Started Reverend Everett, Allow me to show you what our God does to abusers.... Watcher, Assassin, I want this cell painted red. I don't care how well it's done, just see to it none leave here alive.
With pleasure Reverend.
The two rush into the room before any priest can create magic circles.
The Assassin grabs a priest by the eye sockets and rips his skull facial bone out of his head. The Watcher carves up the others with his long sword. As they finish, the slaves inside watch as the Reverend Everett corners the last living priest.
Please! Have mercy! Surely your God does!
Not for the wicked. Romans 1:18-19: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in righteousness because what may be known of God is Manifest in them, for God has shown it to them." While my god deplores actions of violence and murder, I can't overlook what you have done here. Assassin, your hands are covered in the blood of God's enemies, show this one the might of the Ghost.
HA! The Ghost of Ottawa is dead, and the rage effect died with him!
The Assassin doesn't speak, he simply cocks back his fist and slams it into the priests chest.
Again.
The Assassin continues every time Reverend Everett orders him to. Blood begins pooling around the priest and the Assassin's boots.
HARDER, SHOW THAT SINNER THE MIGHT OF GOD!
No offense preacher... I'd prefer to show him the Wrath of the Ghost. I've never seen the wrath of God, but I have seen the Ghost's wrath. I want him to understand what it means when we Reapers say.. YOUR SOUL IS OURS!
The Assassin unleashes a fury of blows into the priest body, blood splattering everywhere while Reverend Everett helps the slaves out of the dungeon, carrying the injured ones out himself.
When you've had your fun, rejoin us.
I will.
The Assassin pours a minor healing potion on the priest.
Awe what's the matter? Can't handle the fury of my fists? If you can't handle me, you'd be a smear on the god-damn cobblestone if you were to take a single punch from the Ghost. I don't give a rat's ass if the Ghost is dead now, I'm going to see his legacy to fruition. No more slavery, and anyone who hurts someone will not be simply left for some god to punish, rather... I'LL FUCKING ARRANGE THE MEETING MYSELF!
As the Assassin turns the priest into a bloody pulp, the others have successfully broke the remaining slaves out of their confinement. As the slaves look back to the city, the Assassin crests the hill drenched in blood.
Take a good look at the city, because tomorrow, it will be nothing but an uninhabitable wasteland.
Wait! There are still slaves in the palace!
The Assassin turns to the Watcher and Reverend Everett.
Allow me to handle this. Reverend, we appreciate you coming out of retirement to assist us, but this requires a certain unholy touch.
I understand, I will lead the freed slaves back to New Ottawa. Watcher, watch his back.
You can count on me.
As the teams split, the Watcher and Assassin book it inside the palace, avoiding guards and finally reaching the King's chambers.
The bunny girl said the slaves aren't allowed to leave this room. Make sure no guards get to me Watcher.
What did you have in mind?
All I know, there will be no survivors other than the slaves held in this room, everyone else is going to help me redecorate the walls.
As the Assassin enters the room, the slaves watch as he throws the King out of bed.
What is the meaning of this!?
Regicide your grace. I am here to avenge the wishes of the Ghost of Ottawa.
You've gone mad!
Before you call for your guards, know they won't be coming to save you.
Wha... Listen I can give you gold, power, land, you name it and it is yours!
Nah, I am here to free your slaves, and punish the one who allows such brutality to befall them.
WHAT NONSENSE! I AM THEIR GOD!
WRONG YOU ARE A MAN SO OUT OF TOUCH EVEN GODS SHUTTER AT THE SIGHT OF YOUR REPUGNANT ASS.
The King steps towards the slaves but the Assassin steps in his way.
If you wanna hurt them, you've got to go through me. All of you slaves stay behind me, cover your eyes and ear. Things are going to get bloody.
As the Watcher is playing lookout, he glances over to see the window of the King's room become an instant blood smear. The door opens and the Assassin leads them out of the room.
Great timing. We need to hurry. Sun rise is coming and the attack will commence once the sun crests the horizon.
How long till then?
Ten minutes at most.
Fuck... Alright listen up, we've got to run, and I mean like hell. Our people are attacking this Kingdom at sunrise. We don't stop, we keep going until we are out of the city.
As the groups races out of the city, the Assassin cuts down guards and civilians as they rush out of the city. Above them, New Ottawa's Air Force begins diving on the city as the group barely makes it out of the city.
KEEP RUNNING! DON'T STOP!
Everyone in the Committee Building meeting is staring at the Assassin.
That's my report.
When I said by any means...
Don't try and take it back. I had all my fun. On the plus side, no innocent slaves were harmed.
