The people were getting ready for the first part, Lucy was already in the air carrying Clockwork. Their target was the power station, but the assault couldn't began until Bea and Seraphine launched their attack.
'We need the distraction, for most of the enemy forces to leave the area.'
She and Clockwork went to a roof near another part of the wall. This one was closer to the power station. While waiting Lucy thought about the past few days.
The people took her lies better, than Bea's. But still most avoided her and just tried to stay away. She was sure it would go back to normal in time, but it still hurt.
What hurt her even more was the diary entries Faith brought back. It proved her theory, that her brother wasn't evil, he went insane. It didn't make it better, but at least there was a chance.
'Maybe... He can still be saved...'
Watching The Hold she hoped for a better future, then someone sounded the alarm. She quickly dismissed these hopeful thoughts, maybe her brother can be saved but not today. Today is for killing the sinners and rescuing the innocent.
"Are you ready?" Clockwork asked, there was something in his voice, concern. Out of everyone he took the news the best. Maybe he already knew or at least suspected, who knows.
"Yeah, lets begin!" With that she transformed and grabbed him.
They didn't immediately go to the power station. Staying in the air they circled around the building a few times and after seeing Lieutenant Tor leaving, they descended.
Faith made a truly amazing job with that girl. She actually managed to find every possible point of entry, they chose the roof.
On the roof there was one guard, but he never expected a clockwork golem to fall on his head. The whole building shook from the impact. Lucy changed back into a human and landed next to Clockwork.
They went in the door, there were already soldiers waiting but Clockwork took their railgun shots without even slowing down. In a minute most of them were already dead. The ones that tried to run to get reinforcement got hunted down by Lucy.
In just about 5 minutes everyone was dead in the building and around it. Lucy turned towards Clockwork who was covered in gore.
The gladiators who could fight and weren't slavers had weapons on them. The others were fairing much worse, some found clothes but others were so traumatized that they just didn't care about anything.
Lucy nodded at Clockwork and they continued their plan. His job was to bring these people to the prison. Lucy's job was much more dreadful, she was going to free the monsters, then join to Clockwork.
"Everyone, follow me and you will see a better future!" Clockwork shouted.
People looked each other a bit confused but then shrugged and followed him. Lucy meanwhile was shaking her head with a smile on her face.
'He really needs to work on his speeches. Maybe he could ask for advice from Seraphine, her last speech was amazing!'
She slowly approached the cells where the monsters were kept. Luckily Faith found the control panel where they can be released from remotely, the bad news is it doesn't work without power.
'Manual it is then!'
Lucy went slowly to give the others a headstart. She reached the cages in a couple minutes, but decided to wait for a bit longer. When she heared some feet shuffling in the building she moved.
'You are in for a nasty surprise!'
Lucy moved as fast as possible, on the corridor both sides were lined with rooms. There were locks on them and monsters behind it. She ran through the corridor while cutting every lock. It took a couple of seconds for the first monster to realize what happened, but soon all of them were out.
She was already flying towards an exit. Multiple monsters were on her tail, but soon they found much tastier targets.
She left the pits with the screams of soldiers and the howling of monsters echoing behind her. Lucy enjoyed the melody for a couple seconds, then went to find Clockwork and help them towards the prison.
After catching up to them, they made quick work of every patrol. Some of the slaves even picked up the enemy's fallen weapons and began fighting.
They reached the prison in about ten minutes, but they weren't prepared to find it up in flames while a thousand people stood there, watching it burn down.
