The bag on Ethan's head was finally lifted, letting him see the angry mob. They all looked brainwashed and delirious, almost like they weren't really human anymore. Ethan looks over at what was probably Arthur in the same situation. A tear rolls down his face. I probably shouldn't have been that harsh on him back then. Ethan thinks to himself, whilst trying his hardest to stay calm, and go with the flow.
"Welcome! To these traitors, of our NATION!" she showcases the two, just as the bag is ripped off of Arthur's head. His face looked purple, almost like he was holding his breath while awake in there.
People in the crowd started throwing a bunch of different items onto Ethan and Arthur.
"Yes, YES! Show your hatred towards people, you stop the order of our nation!" She screams, as well as throws some of her own stuff.
Ethan was trying to move out the way, but with the shackles on his hands, and the fact that a gun was pointing at his head, the cards weren't in his favour this time. Same with Arthur, he was dealing with this situation a lot worse than Ethan though. He was kind of just standing there with his head down, and not saying a word.
Then, Ethan watched as some officer rolled out a big structure with a beam right at the top. He also noticed that there was also some rope in his hand. He put two and two together, and froze up on the stop. Luckily, Arthur didn't notice it yet.
The sun seemed to be shining brighter than any other day so far. Ethan assumed that a light was placed above the place, to give the prisoners a false sense of at ease when doing this. The light kept getting bright, and brighter as it probably lowered down. The structure was also slowly crawling forward, being really heavy. After a little bit of time though, it made it front and centre into both Ethan's, and Arthur's point of view. Which meant that Arthur finally knew what was going on fully.
A little bit of piss, came flowing down Arthur's leg.
"Awww… look at the little PISS BOY!" She taunted him.
PISS BOY!
PISS BOY!
PISS BOY!
PISS BOY!
PISS BOY!
Arthur tried to cover his ears, but again, the shackles on them prevented him from doing so. There he was, watching everyone taunt and yell at him for peeing his pants out of fear. He couldn't stand their mockery, and verbal abuse. He has never deserved such bullshit in his entire life. In fact, he was better than everyone here, since he's not brainwashed at all.
He started shaking in pent up rage, which Ethan noticed. If only he could calm him down somehow.
"Alright men! YOU, will watch as these traitors are hanged for their horrible crimes against our glorious country!" she says, while getting two guards to coax them towards the now set up nooses. Arthur started to softly shake his head in protest, which only caused him to get smacked upside the head with an AR. He also bit his cheek on impact, so blood sort of spat out of his mouth, and onto someone in the very front row. His eyes widen, and his iris' shrink, as his brain registers what the hell even happened to him. That's when he completely lost it. Arthur starts to flail around and hit the officer right in front of him. Said officer pushed him to the ground, and knocked him out cold, before bringing him over to the noose, and placing his head inside of it.
Ethan placed his head into the noose on his own, staring into the crowd looking like he just wanted to get this over with. The only thing on his mind at that moment, was wondering what Lukas was doing at the moment.
He wouldn't have to worry for long though…
*BANG! BANG!
Ethan froze, thinking that they just killed him, and now he's in heaven or something. Fortunately for him though, it wasn't like that at all.
He took the biggest risk, and took his head out of the noose to see that the guards that were right behind him, and suddenly on the ground bleeding from their helmets. Some other guy that was also masked, was standing a little bit further away, with their AR in hand. Everyone was shocked, trying to process what they just did.
"What, the fuck…! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She creams at whoever was behind on her guards' deaths. All they did though, was flip her bitch ass off, and run up to both Ethan and Arthur. They grab both of them with each arm, and start to bolt it out of there with the two of them in hand. Two other officers also start running with them. Leaving the rest of them in absolute shock.
Before the officer that had Ethan and Arthur in their hands could get away, a stray bull came flying into their stomach, causing them to fall and drop the two. The two other officers on the main one's side, come to block them from anyone getting in. For some reason, most if not all the guards don't have guns of their own, so it wasn't too hard for them to stop anything. Ethan crawls over to the main officer, and asks: "why'd you help us?!" frantically trying to get Arthur to move.
"Hi Ethan. It's me Lukas!" He points at his helmet. "The other two are Drew, and someone named Nicola…" he points at them too. Ethan was so relieved that the two of them weren't dead, but also was trying to figure out where he heard the name Nicola before.
Some random officer personally came up to try and stop Nicola, but ever since he took the AR off of Drew's hand. He just gunned whoever that was down, leaving nothing but bullet holes and blood where he stood. Someone else tried to sneak up on Nicola, but Drew stopped that shit from happening, by bashing the guy with a piece of metal that he had hidden from everyone ever since he fell out of that vent. The thing was pretty sharp, so it really dug deep into this person's helmet, and some skull. Blood started to gush off, and spray all over the place like a disgusting fountain. He dropped to the back on his back, getting blood all over the somewhat clean floor, and on some of the officer's shoes. They all looked at the both of them with shock on their faces probably.
That would hopefully signify any else trying to fight them, that they should probably back off for now.
