Page 67 - Revolutionary Leader Kevin Dies On The Battlefield

The camera pans over the battlefield. Prisoners fight for their freedom while The Capital does everything they can to stop them. Joe continues his battle with Elvens while T. and Cutie run to Fet W and CD's aid. The Triple D squad barely holds their own against General Bob. 

The drones passing through the war broadcasting it to the entire world. Many anxiously watch the battle unsure of the outcome. A major of the high ranking members of the underground have already stopped watching due to DeadLocs leaving the battle.

The camera stops at the battle of Revolutionary Leader Kevin vs General from the last time we saw

General Abe unleashes his "16 Commandant Slice" The first and second attacks being a double handed 12 to 6 into a 7 to 2 ~ Kevin dodges the first and parries the the second with his left tail. He then throws a right kick to the head using his right tail as a support beam ~ Abe ducks the head kick and rolls left to avoid the spinning back left kick that follows. He then rushes faking a right-handed slash to land a left jab to the chin into right 12 to 6 kick to the chin into a stab aimed for Kevin's left lung ~ Kevin uses his left tail to knock Abe's sword upwards and strikes him in his stomach with his right tail into a right head kick 

Quickly recovering from the right head kick Abe launches his fourth slash a 9 to 3 aimed for Kevin's chest ~ Kevin manages to avoid the slash but not the fifth one which is a 6 to 12 onto his left eye blinding it, He launches his right tail towards Abe's head in retaliation ~ Abe tilts his head to his right narrowly dodging the attack. He then sends the seventh strike across Kevin's abdomen in a 2 to 7 fashion ~ Using his left tail Kevin parries the slash. At the same time he uses his right tail and forces Abe's head forward landing a right hook into a left knee on the chin ~ As Abe's head is knocked upwards from the knee he unleashes the eighth slash; a 9 to 3; and slices off Kevin's left leg from the knee down ~ Kevin stumble's back and wraps his left tail around his left leg to stabilize himself. He focuses his energy to seal his wound 

Abe quickly recovers and rushes back in sending slashes nine and ten; a 3 to 9 slash to the neck into a 9 to 6 towards the chest; ~ Kevin ducks the 3 to 9 slash and uses his right tail to parry the follow-up. He then  focuses Ansrit into his right leg and launches a rib kick to Abe's rib fracturing a few on the left side knocking Abe away

Kevin uses his tail to spring himself towards Abe who's just recovering from the blow. Kevin lands a left jab to Abe's chin into a right 2 to 7 tail strike on his left shoulder knocking him downward and launches a right kick towards his head ~ Abe dodges the kick and lands a right mid kick into a left gut uppercut ~ Kevin focuses energy into his right tail and sends it down from 12 to 6 ~ Abe spikes his Ansrit and cuts the golden tail with the eleventh slash. The twelfth slash is a double-handed 10 to 4 across Kevin's chest ~ Kevin tries to block the attack by putting his right arm up but it's cut at the middle of his forearm ~ Abe then kicks Kevin in his chest knocking him away

Abe smiles, "I guess it's say to say you're finished huh?"

Kevin smiles and says, "A battle doesn't end until one side yields."

Abe looks at Kevin with a sense of respect. He readies his blade preparing for what looks to be the final strike. A few moments of steel-cutting tension pass as the war rages in the background. The people spectating the battle are quiet, completely focused on the duel that's moments away from ending. 

Kevin thinks to himself, *Keifer, I'm sorry I wasn't able to lend you a hand in the future. I hope one day you're able to control the demon inside of you."

They charge. Abe unleashes the remaining slashes all connecting on Kevin's chest. Abe finishes his opponent by stabbing him in his heart.

As the stab enters Kevin's heart Kaleb screams out to his leader and sprints towards him. Joe turns toward the scream and looks in shock as Kevin falls at General Abe's feet. Kaleb rushes and tries to attack Abe who's raising his sword preparing to kill Kaleb.

Before the two can meet Daunte tackles Kaleb barely saving him from death. Joe screams out, "DAUNTE!"

Elvens rushes behind Joe and says, "You should worried about yourself right now!". He kicks Joe towards Daunte and Kaleb placing the two between the Admiral and the General.

Joe and Daunte stand and face their enemies while Kaleb stares at his fallen leader with tears in his eyes. Daunte asks, "Yo Joseph how are you holding up?"

Joseph replies, "Imma be honest not to well, I used something new and drained my energy fast. Plus with that death the battle just got incredibly unbalanced."

Daunte sucks his teeth. He thinks, *Damnmit! Did we actually bite off more than we can chew this time?!*

The camera zooms out as the two prepare for their battles. Dadon and Doobie are struggling against General Bob after Daunte left. Admiral Brunns fights against Fet W and what's left of T.K.O while Linns tortures The Treasure Hunters. The Grouda Prisoners have lost their edge as well due to no leadership and weak bodies, their rapidly dropping numbers have dwindled to four thousand against The Capital's five thousand eight hundred. 

Many watching the broadcast have declared the win to the capital. Many bandits watching the broadcast hope that their inspiration The Demon Ox can pull through and make this work somehow but are slowly losing hope as time passes. The General and the Admiral walk closer and closer until a huge bang is set off destroying the western wall pointing everyone's attention towards it. As the dust slowly clears an old man with grey hair and a great smile says, "I thought you might've needed some help!"
