It seems like the path to glory for both Jared and John with be not only hard, but also very painful. A long battle is on its way.
== Story ==
When everyone arrives at the gate, they see the enemy invaders standing outside the gates, with the rest of the soldiers frantically warning them to turn back, weapons drawn.
There are a lot of enemies, holding a large number of soldiers as hostages.
"Let them go!"- John yells- "It isn't them that you want. You want us!"
The invaders snicker.
"And what makes you think that, Mr. Braveheart?"- One of them says.
John realizes that the people in front of him... are his former colleagues.
"My friends... "- He says- "W-why? Why are you doing this?"
"Why are you fighting against us?!"
One of the people shakes his head.
"When we left you and the other policemen to die, we heard the message. It's simple- you are either the hunter or the hunted. And that there is no one in the world that you can fully trust."
John shakes his head tearfully.
"Don't you dare say that!"- He yells- "Because it's not true! We're allies. And we must trust each other. We mustn't betray each other. Not in a time like this!"
The former policemen and women laugh.
"You don't get it, do you, Braveheart?"- One of them says- "There are no laws in this world anymore. Killing people is not illegal anymore and no one will care about it!"
"We'lll kill many people as we try to survive, starting with you!"
The police officers draw their gun, surprising the warriors on the other side.
They execute some of their prisoners. Then, they shoot bullets at the warriors.
Jared and John watch sadly as a large amount of them are killed by the shots
"Fools!"- Jared yells angrily- "You will pay for challeging us!"
He shoots an arrow at a police officer who is holding a hostage, killing him immediately.
Soon, the battle begins. Brave heroes and former police officers fight against each other, in an attempt to kill each other.
The tables are turned many times, in both sides' favors. However, in the end, it seems like the police officers are going to win and take over the settlement.
Jared stares at them, bloody and bruised while John stands by his side.
One of the officers aims his gun at Jared's head.
"It's over."- He says- "There's nothing you can do. We've won this one."
Jared looks down and grins.
"What are ya laughing at?!"- The officer says.
"What am I laughing at, you say?"- Jared responds- "Your inattentiveness, that's what I am laughing at, you fool."
"You should know this well- even though I may look like I am alone, I am never alone. My friends are always by my side. They give me power and they always will, even if you take them away from me!"
"So, it's time for you to see the other side of the rainbow- the bloodier one!"
WIth that, Jared raises his sword and stabs the officer in the chest, immediately killing him while advancing to kill more of the officers.
The battle continues as the remaining officers fight Jared and John.
The two boys fight valiantly against the miscreants, evading every single bullet they shoot at them.
Soon, all of the invaders are either dead, bleeding to death or running away, trying to save their own skins.
Jared and John head back into the settlement. Much to their surprise, they see that most of the warriors are waiting for them mostly unharmed.
General Knave pushes his way through the crowd to congratulate the heroes.
"We did it."- He says- "And it's all thanks to you, boys."
Jared smiles and shakes his head.
"No, sir. We all worked together and we all deserve to be respected. Me and my friend were just a small part of your army."
"Small, but important."- The general responds- "You were a key factor to our victory, no matter how much you refuse to admit it."
As the three of them talk, they fail to notice someone behind the general.
Just when the person lunges at him, Jared realizes this and pushes the man out of the way, saving his life.
He draws his blade and sees a hooded man.
"Show yourself!"- Jared yells.
The man lifts his hood and grins.
"It is time for you to meet your impending doom, kiddo."- He says and lunges at Jared.
