Chapter 3

Meanwhile, Izeroth and Sage, if you happen to be wondering, were evilly laughing over a helpless math textbook as it burned in flames. Both were dressed in their respective roles.

"Excellent, my apprentice," Izeroth was saying. "Another enemy has come to an end."

Sage nodded. "We are one step closer to crushing the rebellion." He turned to a soldier by the door. "Prepare the army for attack against the DDB base. The traitor Ashenwyte must be destroyed."

The soilder nodded and disappeared.

Izeroth stood shrouded in thought. "How many people have allied against our cause? The DDB's, the members, even most of the mods are our enemy. Lutra says that the guest dam won't hold for much longer, and when it breaks we will be at the mercy of the guests."

Sage shrugged. "I suppose that Ash, ever since he defected, has served as a sort of figurehead.   His act of rebellion has strengthened the rest. He must be stopped."


Jukka was waiting for the next period and was passing the time by texting Corn, who had ended up on the other end of the school. Corn had just texted a hilarious meme and Jukka had responded with "lolz". Both of them sudenly broke out into txtspeaking, and they only stopped at the bell.

"Give me that," said Sky when she saw the phone. "Official Grammar Patrol business. We've been authorized to check all phones for textspeaking- BLOODY MODS! This is a serious problem!" She immediately threw the phone into a yellow bag before giving Jukka a glare. "Captain Plugg, arrest this student and put her in reform school. She needs to be educated. Now, Miss Jukka, who else text-spoke? Ahh, Cornflower. She'll be arrested shortly."

Jukka was hauled away by Plugg and, after a short drag down the hallway, thrown into a musty cell. A moment later the little window was thrown oepn and Sky's eye appeared. "Report to the courtyard at 0700."

Jukka sat down hard and sighed.


Cornflower manage to put up a good fight, but without her flamethrower she was nothing. Her phone confiscated, she too was dragged away.

Jukka was caught off guard by the sudden cacophony of sound as the cell door was unbolted, thrown open and a kicking body flung inside the cell. Upon hitting the floor, the figure scrambled back up and rushed the door, but it was too late. The guard slammed the door shut and left. The other prisoner, obviously Corn, stood up and dusted herself down. "Alright, how do we get out of here?"

Jukka shook her head. "You won't. If you expect a note to come down that tells out how to get out then you won't get it."

At that moment a small, furled piece of paper slid through the cell window and landed at Corn's feet. She grinned and unfolded it. "Be ready at midnight. Ummm..."

Jukka immediately took to the small bed that she got in the cell. Corn looked at her in askance. "What are you doing?"

Jukka closed he eyes. "Going to sleep, it'll pass the time."

Corn shrugged and went to looking out the cell window.


I was listening to Pacific Rim music, while writing, boy did it give me some ideas for the next chapter!

*Claps* Haha, this great! You captured me brilliantly! And Jukka, too. I can't wait for the next chapter! (Even if I don't have a phone. :P)

Chapter 4

After the destruction of the Cellars, most of the original Rebellion (the one that Sage had served in before turning to the Dark Side) was dissolved and Mhera was no longer leader. However, with the defection of Ash and the second election of Soren, power had slowly been returning. Even better, Ash had brought plans for the enemy's new weapon, called Jaëgars. Everybody was pumped, especially Mhera.

Rebellion Underground HQ

"All plans are prepped and ready. We should be ready to start the attack in a few weeks."

There was a clatter of keyboards and shouted orders all around mission control as Mhera leaned over a map with Soren and Ash on her sides. "Both Jaëgars are ready, weapons are clean and such. Wait a minute, where's our strike team?"

"You mean Corn and the rest? They're all present and ready, except Corn. Sky got her and Jukka," said Soren. "We might have to go without her."

"Abosolutely not," said Mhera. "They're our best, we can't let Corn die. And Jukka is a civilian, she should be saved too."

Prison Cell

"It's midnight," said Jukka. "Any second now."

Corn frowned. "Are you sure?"

"I don't understand, I thought you wanted out?"

"I do," said Corn. "But who's breaking us out? I don't want to be saved by someone I don't know."

Before Jukka could answer there was a sawing noise and a bar fell away from the window. A masked figure dropped inside the cell. Corn whirled arouund, ready to throw a punch, but Jukka said, "Are we good?"

Del pulled the balaclava away from his face and said, "Yeah, we good."

Another figure came in, this time Soren. He threw Jukka and Corn black cloaks. Corn hesitated to put hers on. "I'd like to know who's saving my skin?"

Del smirked a little. "Courtesy of the Text-speakers. Let's go."

Jukka's jaw dropped. "Text-speakers?! I thought it ewas a myth!"

Soren shook his head. "We're as much of a myth as Sage is a traitor."

Corn stepped back. "I'm not an active text-speaker."

Del gave her a look. "Then you never were. C'mon Jukka, let's g-"

BOOM!!!

The cell door was thrown off its hinges and a figure shrouded in mist appeared in the doorway. Soren and Del gave a look of horror before taking off with Jukka. Corn was left to back away against the wall and the walls started to crumble. The dust started to settle and Sage beackoned for his troops to stand down as he said, "Hello, Corn."

Why am I a text-speaker? But it's fine! I really enjoy where you're taking this! ;D ;D

This is well done Sage, it has a random aspect which only enhance the confusion of what's going on. Though the factions are a but confused, I think there may be three but I'm not sure.

Creative story, Sage! And I guess I'm evil :D

Thanks, MatthiasMan, for the avatar!

Apparently, I saved Jukka! That should do wonders for the ship... :( ;D ;D ;D

This is a sequel. (I should probably post the whole original story in one post...)

Because I thought that you'd prefer being a text-speaker instead of a Grammar Nazi.
