The Battle of Bar Harbor

Having moved to the cafeteria along with Mikayla and Mallory's mother, Fearah and Joe now found themselves in what used to be the eating area of the high school. Tables had been pushed to their upright positions along the walls and in the distance they could see the entrance to the kitchen along with the cutaway in the room for the students to line up for their food. Troy had gone to stand watch and the girls made their way further into the room where they began setting up a triage center of sorts under the order of Mallory's mother. Outside the sounds of chaos engulfing the town could be heard and Fearah wondered if this was what war sounded like, it had to be right?

Helping where they were needed Fearah and Joe went about doing what was needed or requested of them with little talking amongst themselves for the first stent of time there, Having retrieved a number of tables from the wall and wheeled them towards the center of the room they had begun laying out supplies to be used for whoever would end up occupying the makeshift bed of sorts, it was bound to be uncomfortable but they had to use what they had for the time, at least until they liberated the town and could move the wounded into better accommodations. "What else do you need help with Ms. Faraday?" Fearah asked ahead of Joe as she saw her writing the question. Catching a look from the girl Fearah smiled, she knew that she liked being independant and asking what she wanted herself, but Fearah had the same question on her mind anyway so with a shrug she looked back to the woman for her answer.

Shortly however the sound of movement was heard from down the hall and as she listened they kept getting louder. "Troy! Someones coming!" Fearah called as she instinctively reached for her weapon, thankfully though she didn't find it in the normal place as if she had a bullet probably would have been sent her way when the man had entered. It was Kevin, a vile man that Joe said to avoid at any cost, that he was known for being cruel and sadistic. Biting her tongue as he entered Fearah watched as he turned towards Troy and opened fire.

Ducking behind one of the tables Fearah searched for her weapon, Having placed it in her belt she shook her head in annoyance at the fact she no longer had her hip strap. Pulling the weapon from it's home Fearah then turned to face the man and lifted herself up enough to get a clear shot, but it was too late. Before she could line up the shot Mikayla practically flew over the tables with her shotgun and sent a shell directly towards the man blowing a sizeable chunk from his body. Blinking at the sudden burst of gore from the man Fearah heard him speak, he was either in disbelief or the shock from the hit hadn't hit him yet. 

In any case the next shell from Mikyala's gun rang true and with ease split the man's head wide open. Joe looked away.

What she said though, Fearah had heard from Joe that the guy was fucked up and that she shouldn't get near him, but did he really do what Mikkie said he did? Damn, The world sure is fucked.. Shaking the vision of the man's dead body from her mind Fearah grabbed Joe's hand and gripped it gently. "I'd say it gets easier, but It really doesn't." She said to her, she could see that the sight of the man being killed didn't sit well with her, but Joe nodded and whipped the few drops of blood that had landed on her off. Mikayla and Troy had begun carrying the body out by now. Fearah watched until it was out of sight and shook her head again. 'It never does get easier.' She thought to herself again with an empty chuckle.

Looking back to Marlene Fearah clapped her hands together. "Okay doc, What you need help with?" She asked. Letting her gaze fall to the row of makeshift beds Fearah felt a jolt of fear.

'God Sarah better not end up on one of these...'

Watching in amazement as Carmin "Spider-Moneyed" her way up to the fire escape Sarah and the others quickly and effeciently made their way up the ladder and to their positions. Having set up her rifle on the right hand side of the roof Sarah quickly ran through her checks and loaded her weapon, to her right sat Ellie who had already begun looking for targets. They had all just gotten set up when Cam received an urgent call over her radio. On the other end was Mallory and from the sounds of it it was urgent.

"Yes Ma'am, We're in position." Cam responded before going quiet to let their commander tell what she needed to tell. Listened as what she had contacted them for began to flow through Cam quickly waved her hand for both her teams to start searching for the HMG on the roofs, "To the north." She said as she heard the name of the building that the weapon system was on.

Searching in the direction given Ellie panned her binoculars to the left until she found the name that Cam and spoke of. "Ten O'clock Sarah." Ellie said.

Panning her sights to the left until she reached her ten o'clock Sarah began looking for the target. Finding it in quick order she steadied her crosshairs on the target and raised it just a tad to compensate for range. Pulling the trigger she watched as a blur of red shot from the mans head and he fell to the ground. "Target eliminated." Sarah said in a quiet and concentrated tone, she was in the zone now and as the chaos unfolded below her she only thought of two things. Getting everyone through this alive, and getting her sister back by her side.

Kenji was struggling to get to Richard's place where he knew he could be safe and try to buy some time to think of a plan. He gunned down a few of the rebels and bikers. He was getting low on ammo as he had to clips left in his M4A1. He quickly replaced his clip and walked through the alleyways when he runs into Mark and his team. He blind fires them at first and starts to run. "Get that son of a bitch!" yelled Mark to his team and soon the chase was on. Kenji ran as he did he would turn around and fire at them periodically before Mark and his guys returned fire. Kenji had a head start on them and so an idea popped into his head. He head around the corner on the street and ducked under a car. He waited and soon enough he could hear footsteps getting louder and soon he saw those footsteps run past him. He rolled out from under the car and took aim as he was behind them now. He managed to take down three of them before Mark and another member were behind cover. 


Mark tried to blind fire only hitting the car. One of the members on the ground was screaming in pain as he was shot in the back. "Oh god! Mark P-Please help me!" said the member on the ground. Mark bit his lower lip as he was frustrated by this situation but Kenji stepped out from behind the car and put the barrel of his rifle up to the kid's head. "Step out now or he dies." said Kenji in a serious tone. Mark looked to the other member that was with him and nodded. Both men stepped out and as they did they raised their hands up their weapons still in their hands. "Drop the guns now!" Mark dropped his shotgun and the other member dropped his assault rifle. Mark still had his handgun in the back of his waistband just in case. "This is good, we are off to a nice start but..." said Kenji as he took a step towards Mark. He gun butted Mark in the stomach and the wind was knocked out of Mark as he fell to his knees. Kenji then grabbed Mark by his vest pulling him up as he searched him. He found the handgun and nodded. "Now when I told you to drop your weapons...I mean't all of them." said Kenji in a calm yet serious tone as he turned Mark's handgun to the member next to him and blew his brains out. "NO!" said Mark as he watched the member of his team die. He went to rush Kenji but Kenji quickly pressed the barrel into his head. "I wouldn't do that! Unless you want to end up like your friend. Now tell me where is the leader of your group?" asked Kenji to Mark who didn't say anything and Kenji just nodded and smirked at the American man. "Alright I was hoping you would say that." said Kenji with a smirk as he started to beat Mark with the gun butt of his rifle bashing him in the face.


Now bloody and bruised Mark tried to stand up and as he stumbled to his feet. Kenji raised his rifle slightly shooting Mark in the right leg. He dropped to the ground and howled in pain. "Fuck you! You fucking chink!" screamed Mark at Kenji who just smirked and chuckled. Mark was on knees and as he was he noticed a few others behind him but he couldn't tell who it was. He looked at them shaking his head as he didn't want them to put themselves in danger.




"I'm going to give you one last chance to tell me where that fucking c-" said Kenji in a serious tone before being cutoff by an arrow in the shoulder. He turned around and noticed it was his sister Ayako. The two siblings stared down one another. "Kenji give it up! You have lost just put down the gun and we can-" said Ayako in Japanese to her brother before being cutoff by him. "Fuck you bitch! I am not giving up! I will turn Bar Harbor into a massacre if I have to achieve my dream!" yelled Kenji to his sister in Japanese. The two of them had a stare-down but before she could get a shot off him he raised his rifle with his uninjured arm and tried to shoot at her. Ayako ducked but before she could talk a shot off he was gone running down the street towards Richard's house. Once inside Richard's house Kim looked at Kenji surprised. "What happened?" asked Kim to Kenji who looked at him as he still had the arrow in his shoulder. "Get this fucking arrow out of me!" said Kenji in a serious tone. Kim pulled the arrow out and dressed his wound quickly. Kenji handed Kim his M4A1 and now Kenji was armed with his Heckler & Koch MP5KA4. Kim and Kenji were behind the wall crouched down as they waited for the final showdown to happen.

Ayako ran to Mark as he sat against a wall in pain as he was shot in the leg eariler by her brother Kenji. Despite the bullets and chaos happening she made it to him looking over his wound. "We need to get you out of here." said Ayako to Mark who shook his head as he ripped the sleeve off one of his dead team members and then he wrapped the cloth around his wound. "I'm fine." said Mark in pain as he struggled to his feet. Once he got to his feet he took a second to catch his breath and soon enough he heard Mallory on the radio asking how the right side was doing. "Hey Mal we hit a bit of a snafu but other then that we cleared the right side." said Mark to Mallory over the radio. He turned his head as he saw Troy coming by armed with his saw-off shotgun. "Hey look who it is. Badass biker." said Mark with a smirk to Troy who looked shocked as he saw Mark's injured leg. "Holy shit Mark you good?" asked Troy to Mark who just smirked and shook his head as he picked up his shotgun and handgun off the ground. He looked down and noticed his team member who was laying on the ground earlier in pain was now dead. Mark felt guilt or at least he felt responsible in some way. He then got on his radio to talk to Mallory. "Mallory it's Mark here. I got Ayako and Troy with me. We are heading towards Richard's house. We will not engage until you get there." said Mark to Mallory over the radio. The three of them were on their way there and as they were Frank and a few of the bikers rode by. "Figured you could use the back up." said Frank with a smirk to Mark. The small group were near Richard's house or where they thought he would be at. 

Troy hoped Mallory could make it and finally get her justice that she well deserved.

Watching as the flare went up and illuminated the sky Sarah kept her eye looking through her scope. Panning to the right she heard from down the way as Ziggy called out the shooters location, From what she said it would seem the sniper nest was on top of a building with a large Satellite dish atop it. Finding the building in question in short order Sarah focused her sights on the figure that was now turning his back to run away. Through her scope she could see that it was a boy, no more than ten or eleven. Moving her trigger finger to position she took a steady breath and held it for a moment but was cut off from taking the shot by protest from Ziggy down the line, she was right, he was just a kid. But this kid had openly shot at them and nearly taken the life of one of their own. Hearing as things escalated between the group Sarah sighed.

The boy was running now, running from the fact he was in plain sight, running for his life it would seem. Taking another deep breath Sarah closed her eyes for the briefest of moments to shut out the noise around her before placing the boys head in her crosshairs and pulling the trigger. Watching as the boys body fell limp upon the rooftop Sarah sighed again, To her left Ellie looked at her with apprehension Sarah hadn't seen in her before. "He was just a kid Sarah..." She said.

"He engaged us. No matter his age he became a threat from the moment he pulled the trigger." She answered coldly.

Down the line Ayita had placed her sights on the boy and relayed what she needed to to Ziggy, but for the first time since the beginning of the night her callout wasn't instantly answered by the gun firing. Looking away from her binoculars to her girlfriend Ayita saw the beginnings of tears in her eyes, the look of uncertainty she wore. Reaching over Ayita placed her hand on Ziggy's and heard as she called that it was just a kid. Ayita felt her heart skip a beat, Taking a life so young was something unimaginable to the native American, and it was to Ziggy as well it would seem. Brody on the other hand, had a different idea. In a fit of rage and frustration as Ziggy refused to shoot at the boy Ayita heard as Sarah let loose a round, which was quickly followed by a burst of fire from Brody. It was then the real hell broke lose. Not from members of their opposition, but from their own.

Looking to Brody Ayita heard as he began laying into Ziggy about not shooting. Listening as the two began to argue Ayita felt the frustration bubbling inside her.  "Stop right there." She said getting between the two of them and pushing Brody away.

"Oh yea? You too Ayi, You coulda done something too!" Brody shouted as he turned away from the two of them. Shaking her head Ayita clutched her fist in an attempt to quell the anger that was becoming apparent inside her. Staring Brody down she heard as he said the unimaginable. While she was home schooled she knew all too well about the atrocities that occurred during the Nazi regime, and hearing Brody compare her to that sent her over the edge. Satisfied to see her girlfriend slap him hard enough to send him realing she watched as he walked off, but that wasn't enough. Not for her, not this time. What he said caused something in her to snap.

Ayita approached the boy. "Brody." She said in a flat tone.

"What?" Brody answered annoyed and shouting as he spun to face her.

Without another word she brought her fist up and punched him in the face hard enough to send him flying to the ground. "How fucking dare you." She spat out as he recovered, Behind her Ziggy shouted in German at him and was soon in tears.

Rushing to her girlfriends side Ayita got to her knee's and hugged her girlfriend. "Shh.." She said quietly as her girlfriends tears flowed, silence had overtaken the now stunned group, Brody still recovered from the blow Ayita had delt him.

"shh. Ich bin da Miene Liebe."(Shh. I'm here my love.)  She said as she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend. Pulling her head in as her tears flowed Ayita took deep breaths to try and quell the anger Brody had caused her. "Lass das Arschloch nicht zu dir kommen, du bist bei weitem die beste Person unter uns Sieglinde."(Don't let that asshole get to you, You are by far the best person among us Sieglinde.) She said as she ran her hand through her distraught girlfriends hair. Going quiet Ayita kept Ziggy in her embrace until the tears stopped.

Hearing Mal come through the radio again Cam looked among her squad, saw the infighting and had no idea how to stop it. Seeing Sarah take the shot Cam took a breath and closed her eyes before pinching her nose. Watching as the scene unfolded the girl froze, she had no idea how to stop the fight from escalating.

In the end Brody was on the ground, put there by Ayita no less. Trying to figure out what to do Cam looked among her people, she wanted to help everyone but felt that if she helped anyone she'd be taking a side, and she didn't want to do that. She was on everyones side. Mal came over the radio again and with a sigh and another pinch of her nose Cam pulled the radio off her belt and pushed the button. "Yes ma'am, We got him. Had a little trouble is all." She said before clicking it off again, choosing not to relay the details until she figured everything out Cam looked among her friends. "Okay. Let me try to salvage this mess. B. are you okay?" She asked

Rubbing the bruised part of his face Brody spat on the ground. "Yea, I'm fine."

"Good. Now shut the fuck up for the rest of the op okay? That was the most fucked up thing I've ever heard you say." Cam said. "Zigs, I completely understand if you hate us now. But please... Don't let my stupid asshole of a boyfriend get to you. You're the best damn girl I know." Trying her best to salvage the situation Cam looked to Sarah and Ellie, Ellie still looked uneasy after seeing the way Sarah dealt with the kid. Caught between a rock and a hard spot Cam took another breath and let it out slowly. This was not how she was hoping her first command would go.

"B."

"Yea?"

"Go get back on your gun. And please. For the love of god just shut up next time." Cam said crossing to Ziggy and Ayita. Placing a hand on both of their shoulders she looked at them. "I understand if you hate us all now. Brody has a really bad habit of running his mouth about things he knows nothing about. If you guys leave after this I wouldn't blame you, But please. Help us win this. We need you guys." Tapping Ziggy's shoulder she smiled. "Your dead eye shot." She then tapped Ayita's. "And you helping her get those shots." Hoping she was able to peptalk them a little Cam took a shaky breath and waited anxiously for how they would respond.

Ayako, Mark, Troy, Frank and a few of the Hell-Riders were rushing over to City Hall. Mark was struggling to keep up and as he was Troy stayed behind with him and even had Mark lean on him for support at times. But Mark was a stubborn son of a bitch and wouldn't quit. "How are you doing soldier boy?" asked Troy to Mark who kept his eyes forward and didn't even look at him. "I'm fine...Let's hurry." said Mark slightly exhausted. Once they had reached City Hall they could see the trouble that Mal and the others were in. Frank smirked as he looked at the chaos that was happening in front of him. "Well shit seems like they are in quite a pickle. Let's do the neighborly thing and help out right boys?" asked Frank with a smirk to the few Hell-Riders that were with him. Their bikes roar loudly and with pride as they rode by City Hall shooting at the people in the windows and attempting to take them out while at the same time trying to draw their fire at them so Mallory and the others could try to storm in.




As the bikers seemingly drawled the attention away Mark was against the wall trying to catch his breath as his leg was bothering him yet he wasn't going to say anything about it. Troy and Ayako could see the look of pain on his face. "You guys go don't worry about me." said Mark to Troy and Ayako. Both of them shook their heads as they weren't about to leave Mark there. "Fuck that I ain't leaving you here. If you got more fucked up Cassie will never let me live it down. So tell me are you ready?" asked Troy to Mark who nodded as he cocked his shotgun.







Ayako attempted to take a shot at the person on the machine gun with one of her arrows. She wasn't sure if she could have hit him or not but she was willing to take the risk and try.
