 As Jonathan was making way to the Junker Mech he knocked out, it quickly got back up on it's feet, looking at Jonathan. It let out a loud screech, trying to intimidate him, but proved ineffective. It then charged at Jonathan, who quickly retaliated by grabbing it's head and slamming it to the ground. He then proceeded to crushing it's head with his hand, not only killing the mech, but the pilot as well. As Jonathan defeated the first mech, the other two were closing in quickly. A crab looking Junker Mech made its way towards Jonathan, attacking him with it's large and over powered legs. "Chata lima torro!" the mech shouted as it attacked Jonathan. Jonathan retaliated by grabbing both of it's legs that it was attacking him with. "Big mistake leaving yourself wide open for an attack." Jonathan said as a hatch opened on his chest and a cannon barrel came out. Jonathan fired several rounds into the Junker Mech, killing it instantly. Jonathan then threw the corpse where the other Junker corpse was at. And then there was one. Despite how quickly Jonathan disposed of the first two, this didn't seem to discourage the last Junker Mech. It charged at Jonathan, ramming into him with great force, knocking him back several hundered feet. The Junker Mech then aimed it's gun at Jonathan, firing rapidly at him. Jonathan took a piece of debris from the storage building and used it as a shield. After the Junker Mech was done, Jonathan threw what was left of his shield at the Junker mech, disorienting it for a few moments, giving Jonathan plenty of time to charge at it and punch a hole threw it, killing the pilot instantly. Jonathan then threw the body with the other two. Jonathan then face the pile of dead mechs and then fired upon it repeaditly. After that, the pile exploded, destroying the bodies. The smoke rising in the air, as Jonathan watched what he had done and accomplished. Jonathan then reasurred everyone that the coast was now clear, as he made his way back to the ruins of the storage building, and stopped right beside it. The mech then knelt down, as a hatch opened on it's abdomen and a ladder fell threw. Jonathan climbed back down to the ground, watching as everyone was confused, shocked, and amazed, which he expected. He was wondering how Vivian would react. |

Jonathan watched as Vivian ran up to him. "Hey, glad to see you're okay. How is-" before he could finish however, he heard Vivian call him a jerk as she wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him down to her eye level. He was actually shocked by what he had heard her say, not really expecting her to react the way she is now. Hearing her cry actually made him smile softly, proving that despite everything that happened to her, she did care about him. He allowed her to hold onto him for a bit longer as everyone looked at the two of them, not with with concern, but with relief and happiness. When she finally let go, Jonathan looked at her in the eyes. "I'm sorry princess, but there was nothing else that we could have done. As a leader, I couldn't handle seeing other people die, and this was the only option. I promise I won't make you worry like that again." he said reasurringly giving her a soft smile and gently patting her head. |

Jonathan laughed as Mildred tried to apologize for not keeping a closer eye on Vivian. "It's alright Vivian. We all have been through a lot." he said with a smile. He then started hearing Mildred's ideas for plans of action. He looked around him, as he noticed several bodies all around them, the prison still seemed intact but still suffered damage. Then came the pile of the Junker Mechs that he just destroyed. "The dead come first. I want everyone to start looking for bodies, or whatever is left of them. They will all be given a proper burial." he said as he looked at the group of survivors. There's only a handful of us left...probably 50-65 of us left... Jonathan thought to himself discouraged. After that, start salvaging those mech parts, see if we can make some good defenses in case this ever happens again. Finally we will clean up the prison. I will warn everyone though, this will be very grueling, and may take all day, so I need you all to please cooperate. Alright, let's go find our dead. Jonathan said as everyone went on and scattered. Jonathan went back to the tunnel entrance to where his group was killed instantly by the mech. He grabbed each of their arms and carried them on his back, making way back outside the prison. He left the bodies and waited for everyone to come back so that they can get started with the next step, however, Jonathan didn't want to wait so he continued with the cleaning and salvaging while everyone finished finding their dead, and then went to help him out with the cleaning and salvaging, which took all day too do. After that, everyone went to where their dead, and to his surprise, the pile was bigger than he thought. There were probably 30-40 people dead. He became very distraught. He waited till everyone gathered with shovels. Jonathan shook his head. "No, we aren't going to bury them like I said. Get me a gas canister and a couple matches." Jonathan ordered on of his followers to do as they ran to get what he asked and returned several minutes later. Jonathan then started pouring gasoline on the pile which went on for another several minutes. Everyone seemed confused as too what he was doing. When Jonathan was done, he started lighting a match. "You know in ancient times, people believed that burning the bodies of their loved ones helped their spirits move quickly into heaven." he said as he flicked the lit match at the bodies and watched as it slowly got consumed by fire, the light of the fire lighting up the evening. "I'm sorry everyone...I couldn't protect all of you from the attack, and as a leader, I am ashamed of myself. I have sworn my life to protect you, and today, we had the worst amount of casualties in one day than we had in years...I'm sorry everyone..." he said addressing the survivors as tears rolled down his eyes, feeling embarresed to call himself a leader when so many people have died. |

Vivian
Smith
✦ Watching Jonathan having to take charge after such a horrible event nearly broke Vivian's heart, but she knew that he had no choice. After all he was their leader. As soon as Jonathan had finished issuing his orders, Vivian was off in search of the fallen. Mildred called out to her to make her wait but her body moved on its own as she began digging through rubble for and bodies. She saw a few 'rescue' teams go upstairs to look but she was pretty sure that most of the dead were down stairs. The search went on for a few hours as people dragged the dead over to the pile. She tried her hardest not to look upon those who looked to be about her age, thinking about how they wouldn't get to live a longer life like she would didn't sit well in her mind. "It's sadisnt it?" Vivian on,y looked at the old woman who in her tired state only looked older. "Come on. We have to help clear out some of this disaster... You know helping them now is only making yourself a good image for the future." She said calmly, taking the girl's hand in her own. "I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for everyone here." Thismade the old woman smile. "And that's what is giving you a good reputation. Now let's help the others clear this mess." ✦
Talking - #ccaa99 / Thinking - #bbaacc
✦ They spent the rest of the day working with who was left. Vivian wasn't capable of the heavy lifting so she used her small body to her advantage instead and crawled into the spaces that others couldn't reach to grab objects out of reach, and even rescue a few injured people who had gotten buried. It took them all day to clear this all and by the end of the day everyone, Vivian included, had new scratches and scrapes from the rubble of the wreckage. "Can someone pull me out? This is deeper than I thought." She called up through a hole that she had crawled into earlier to retreated a part of a drone that had gotten crushed in the fight. She was surprised to see one of the guards come to her rescue, and even more surprised when he patted her on the head with a smile before walking off towards the pile of bodies where everyone had gathered. After dropping the drone piece in the pile of salvage she ran over to the pile and joined Mildred at the front in time to watch Jonathan throw a match onto the pile. The leap of the Flames had startled her but she managed to stay calm with the help of Mildred's hand other shoulder. ✦
✦ "Jonathan..." The old woman's voice sounded sad as she listened to the leader speak. By the looks on everyone's faces there were definitely mixed feelings around the room. There were those who just looked sad while others looked confused. A few even looked enraged by Jonathan's word, probably looking for someone to blame. "Shut up." Vivian snapped as she walked towards the leader. "You best watch your mouth child!" It was obvious that Mildred was upset with how she hadspoken to Jonathan but she didn't care. "How could you have predicted something like that? Let alone stop it from happening! You did what you could and no one has the right to ask for anything more, you're only human for crying out loud! So you are going to stop apologizing and you're going to lead these people who are depending on you now. Because if you don't take action now then how can you expect them to keep going if you won't. You were so brave, and collected back there when you were fighting those things. Now show your people that side!" She snapped at the man, her face drawn into a scowl. And then slowly her face began to soften as she brought her hands up and wiped at his eyes with the pads of her thumbs. "Take control and be who they need you to be now. I'm going to help Mildred tend to the injured. If. You need me I won't be far." And with that she turned away from him and went off with Mildredto find some healing supplies so that they could help those that were injured. ✦

RaisaNadia lol it's okay I was busy all weekend too
Jonathan was actually very surprised by how Vivian spoke to him, and of course, she was right. He stood motionless as she continued to scold him. No one has scolded him this much since his mother, and wasn't entirely sure how to react to it. He again blushed as she wiped off the tears from his face. He really didn't say anything from the time she spoke till the time she left. "I think it's time for a change of leadership." one of the soldiers said as everyone looked over to see who said it, Jonathan included. He looked at a group of soldiers that had a really unsatisfied look on their faces. "What the hell did you just say?" Jonathan asked obviously not happy about his comment. "Face it John, your not the leader that you were once was. When we first came to you, you were determined and relentless, and now you are too emotional." the soldier continued to say. Everyone was quite as they looked at Jonathan, who looked like he was ready to kill one of his own. "It was because of you that I had to leave my daughter, believing that I was fighting for something that could change the world, but after the Junkers started attacking, people kept dying, and you promised that while you were in command no one else would continue to die. Look at this! There is only a handful of us now! If this is how it's going to be, I don't want anymore part of this. I don't want to die for a cause that no longer exists. Sorry John, but you cant control me anymore, and a few of us agree." the soldier said as he turned his back to Jonathan and walked away from the group. As he did, more and more people started walking with him, until more than a third of the original group was gone. Everyone else looked at Jonathan, who looked like he could snap at any minute. "Not to worry Jonathan, we still believe in you, and we think you are a great leader." one of his soldiers reassured him, as everyone else murmured in agreement. Jonathan looked at was left of his resistance and smiled slightly. "Thank you everyone. I do appreciate your loyalty, and still believing in me. It really means a lot." he said as his smile got bigger. "But I will do my best to become a better leader, and lead us to victory!" Jonathan shouted as everyone else cheered with him. After that moment, Jonathan allowed everyone to go ahead and get some sleep, and for whoever was going to stand guard at the tunnel be at the entrance by five in the morning. After that, everyone went back to their rooms. As Jonathan walked by the infirmary, he looked as both Mildred and Vivian were taking care of those that were lucky to survive the attack. He had a bit of a slight blush on his face, but also a smile as he watched them take care of the injured. |

Vivian
Smith
✦ "Does it hurt here?" Vivan asked as she squeezed the ankle a boy, who couldn't of been more than thirteen years old, and watched as he cringed. The boy had thankfully only been minorly injured since he had been on the third floor looking for his father. "Only a little." An obvious lie that made Vivian's lips spread into an amused smile. "I don't need to be taken care of, go find someone else that needs you." The boy said, putting in a brave face before Vivian pressed hard on his ankle causing him to yelp in pain. "Be careful with Daniel princess, I can see that the Doc is going mad hearing the groans of pain and not being able to help, so do t make it worse by intentionally hurting his son." Mildred warned as she applied pressure to a woman's bleeding head wound. "Don't worry I was only trying to get him to behave. You'll behave now won't you?" Anouther smile spread across her lips when he nodded obediently with an embarrassed blush spreading across his freckled cheeks. ✦
Talking - #ccaa99 / Thinking - #bbaacc
✦ She began cracking two cold packs, one of a bad bruise on his head that made him feel dizzy and the other for his ankle, before applying them to their respective wounds. "Are you really a princess?" Daniel asked, holding the cold pack to the wound on his head when he was instructed to do so. "I'm not just a princess. I'm the princess of this land. One day I'll hopefully be the one to rule this land but I'm not sure if that will happen now." She said calmly, smoothing a bit of hair out of his face as she spoke. "Why not? Is it because you're here? Why are you here if you're a princess. Princesses belong in castle." The boy looked genuinely curious as he asked his questions. "Well if the resistance does over throw my father I don't think they will let me stay around much longer, I am after all the King's daughter. And I am here because Jonathan kidnapped me. Won't you save me from my kidnapper brave soldier?" She asked the boy, a light coming to his eyes that reminded her of an excited puppy. "Of course I'll save you! You're a princess after all and a princess needs saving!" ✦
✦ She managed to get the boy to take a sleeping pill that Mildred had found before she wrapped his broken ankle to keep it from moving. As she waited with him until he fell asleep she looked over at Mildred as she tended to one of the other eleven injured people, one of them being the Doctor, while thinking of how lucky they had been to live through all of today's events. She felt terrible for leaving Mildred with the more serious injuries but the old woman had told her that the boy was likely to be more comfortable with a pretty nurse, not a wrinkle old bag like her. She hated hearing Mildred talk like that but she didn't argue, instead she just did as she was told not wanting an argument. "Jonathan? How long have you been there?" She asked, her face knitting into a look of concern. "Did you come here because you're injured to? Where does it hurt?" She asked as she slowly got off of the sleeping boy's cot before walking over to the leader. She carefully poked and prodded at the man starting with his human arm, looking for any reaction at all as she did so. ✦
CommanderNeospace Pfft my brother has been reading the last couple of posts over my shoulder and he turned to me and asked if these two were married. I told him no and he just sort of looked at me funny before walking away XD |

Jonathan heard her request and was very hesitant on leaving her alone and to stay up all night to take care of the injured. Before he could answer however, he heard Mildred yell at them from across the room. The idea that she thought that they were flirting again made him blush. Before long he let out a sigh. "Alright, i'll assign a few drones to watch and protect you. I'll take Mildred to bed. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask." he said smiling at her as he went off to Mildred, letting her know that it was time for her to go to bed. Before she could argue with him though, he reassured her that it was a direct order, and then escorted her to her room. While they were on their way, he ordered a few drones to watch over Vivian and the injured. After he let Mildred go to sleep, he then made way to his room as well. He closed the door behind him and took off his shoes and shirt and layed down in bed. It took him awhile for him to go to sleep, but after about thirty minutes, he fell asleep. |

Jonathan woke up early in the morning and walked to the tunnel entrance. As he walked up, he noticed that everyone had a confused look on their face. "Hey. What's going on?" he said as he walked up to them. "Boss...the tunnel is blocked off..." one of the soldiers said. At first, Jonathan didn't believe them until he actually walked into the room and saw that the tunnel had been completely blocked. It must have happened after that mech attacked through the tunnel. Jonathan thought to himself. "Let's wait it out, and see if they come through." Jonathan said as he and the group kept a close eye on the rubble. Fifteen minutes after the sun fully rose, nothing happened. "Does this mean we won?" one of the guards said. Jonathan shrugged. "I don't know, but let's keep a close eye on it for a couple days and see what happens. If nothing happens...well...I guess we won." he said with a slight chuckle as he made his way back out. He went to go check up on how things were going at the infirmary, and hoping he could get her to get some rest. |
