Angel Monarch

The people were getting ready for the first part, Lucy was already in the air carrying Clockwork. Their target was the power station, but the assault couldn't began until Bea and Seraphine launched their attack.

'We need the distraction, for most of the enemy forces to leave the area.'

She and Clockwork went to a roof near another part of the wall. This one was closer to the power station. While waiting Lucy thought about the past few days.

The people took her lies better, than Bea's. But still most avoided her and just tried to stay away. She was sure it would go back to normal in time, but it still hurt.

What hurt her even more was the diary entries Faith brought back. It proved her theory, that her brother wasn't evil, he went insane. It didn't make it better, but at least there was a chance.

'Maybe... He can still be saved...'

Watching The Hold she hoped for a better future, then someone sounded the alarm. She quickly dismissed these hopeful thoughts, maybe her brother can be saved but not today. Today is for killing the sinners and rescuing the innocent.

"Are you ready?" Clockwork asked, there was something in his voice, concern. Out of everyone he took the news the best. Maybe he already knew or at least suspected, who knows.

"Yeah, lets begin!" With that she transformed and grabbed him.

They didn't immediately go to the power station. Staying in the air they circled around the building a few times and after seeing Lieutenant Tor leaving, they descended.

Faith made a truly amazing job with that girl. She actually managed to find every possible point of entry, they chose the roof.

On the roof there was one guard, but he never expected a clockwork golem to fall on his head. The whole building shook from the impact. Lucy changed back into a human and landed next to Clockwork.

They went in the door, there were already soldiers waiting but Clockwork took their railgun shots without even slowing down. In a minute most of them were already dead. The ones that tried to run to get reinforcement got hunted down by Lucy.

In just about 5 minutes everyone was dead in the building and around it. Lucy turned towards Clockwork who was covered in gore.

'The training really helped him fight better. Well, it helped all of us, that was the point of it. But he seems different, more focused.'

While she was thinking, Clockwork began his work on the sabotage. He worked fast and a minute or two later the whole place went dark.

'Okay, 2nd part done. Now its in the hands of the others mostly.'

Their job from here on out is to find and rescue as many people as possible. Their first point of interest is the pits.

They didn't waste time and went outside, then Lucy grabbed Clockwork and flew to the pits. On the way there she saw the fighting near the wall. Sera was dueling that Bull while Bea was fighting that woman named Cat and the other named Tor. There was no sign of the final Lieutenant or Nightmare.

The soldiers rained fire on each other, but with Killshots help they actually held there ground against the army of thousands. She couldn't see more because they arrived.

The fighting pits were mostly empty, only a couple guards stayed to watch over the monsters. Clockwork and Lucy took care of them with ease. Then they split up to free all the slaves locked in here and kill every slaver gladiator.

Lucy opened a door to a gladiator, he had two slaves, a woman and a man chained to the wall, naked.

'Disgusting slaver!'

"Hey! Who..." Before he could say another word Lucy threw a dagger into his eye. The two slaves began trembling from fear, but couldn't scream because they were gagged.

Lucy dismissed the daggers and slowly approached the prisioners.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. I and my friends are here to rescue you. Do you hear the alarm, that's us."

She slowly reached out her hand and removed the gags from their mouths. They seemed to believe her words, or at least decided it doesn't matter.

"Okay, I'm going to unchain you now, then we move from room to room and get everyone from here. Do you understand?"

They both nodded and after unchaining them, they moved as Lucy told them. She killed every slaver and rescued every slave. In the end she collected 47 people and met up with Clockwork he found 53.

The gladiators who could fight and weren't slavers had weapons on them. The others were fairing much worse, some found clothes but others were so traumatized that they just didn't care about anything.

Lucy nodded at Clockwork and they continued their plan. His job was to bring these people to the prison. Lucy's job was much more dreadful, she was going to free the monsters, then join to Clockwork.

"Everyone, follow me and you will see a better future!" Clockwork shouted.

People looked each other a bit confused but then shrugged and followed him. Lucy meanwhile was shaking her head with a smile on her face.

'He really needs to work on his speeches. Maybe he could ask for advice from Seraphine, her last speech was amazing!'

She slowly approached the cells where the monsters were kept. Luckily Faith found the control panel where they can be released from remotely, the bad news is it doesn't work without power.

'Manual it is then!'

Lucy went slowly to give the others a headstart. She reached the cages in a couple minutes, but decided to wait for a bit longer. When she heared some feet shuffling in the building she moved.

'You are in for a nasty surprise!'

Lucy moved as fast as possible, on the corridor both sides were lined with rooms. There were locks on them and monsters behind it. She ran through the corridor while cutting every lock. It took a couple of seconds for the first monster to realize what happened, but soon all of them were out.

She was already flying towards an exit. Multiple monsters were on her tail, but soon they found much tastier targets.

She left the pits with the screams of soldiers and the howling of monsters echoing behind her. Lucy enjoyed the melody for a couple seconds, then went to find Clockwork and help them towards the prison.

After catching up to them, they made quick work of every patrol. Some of the slaves even picked up the enemy's fallen weapons and began fighting.

They reached the prison in about ten minutes, but they weren't prepared to find it up in flames while a thousand people stood there, watching it burn down.
