Battle of Fallen Heroes

The seconds took their places alongside their leaders. The Mercenary, former Director Daniel Light stood next to the Ghost, his handguard blades fully extended. Bubba took his place next to the Overlord, chain ball mace ready to strike, and Derek took his place next to the Reverend.

Without hesitation, the battle began. The seconds took the first strikes against each other, but everyone was interested in the leader fight. Factions took their places awaiting an order, but none came. The Reverend used his sacred blade, cutting into the Overlord's leather armor, the Overlord used his sawblade bat to fight back, but the two seemingly forgot one key opponent. The Ghost closed his eyes, and when they opened, they were bloodshot, full of primal rage. As the other two leaders battled, the Ghost hopped down from the Statue, and swung his axes, creating sparks as he marched towards them. As if he was possessed, he grabbed both the Overlord and the Reverend and slammed them into the pavement by their throats.

"Get...Out...Of...MY...CITY!"

The Ghost grabbed the Overlord by the rings on his leather armor and tossed him across the park, sending him spinning through the air, hitting a tree before falling to the ground. The Reverend met him sacred blades to axe blades, how every, the Reverend was wearing a radiation suit, while the Ghost was wearing prototype HA-80, the battle was all too one sided, but combine the armor with the Ghost's rage and combat skill, it was far from a fair fight, it had been decided when he invited the Reverend to the table.

"My God...How is he that strong!?"

"He must have contracted a demon!"

Yea! A Demon!"

The Faithful were trying to reason why the Ghost had so much strength and so much aggression. The Lots' Raiders were in shock that their leader had been so easily defeated, knocked unconscious during the fights beginning.

The Reverend didn't go down without a fight, his blades although ineffective against the armor, made a great distraction, getting the Ghost to back up, if only a few steps, but that was enough to buy the Reverend time to plan, to make a next move. However, the Ghost had other plans, he caught the Reverend's hand and forces him to the ground.

"You should've never gone on a crucifixion war path, maybe we could've worked together, but you, you've become not only the enemy for your faith, but MY ENEMY!"

The Ghost toss the Reverend aside then made his way over to help his second. With a wrist and arm mounted minigun, he tore through Derek and Bubba marching over their injured bodies, and picked up his second.

"Let this be a warning to anyone who stands in my way. YOU ARE MY ENEMY!"

Radiation lightning flashed in the background, as he stood over the injured enemies, his axes dripping blood, his armor light up, it was black and red, just like the SR-71 Blackbird, but it had been stained with the blood of slain enemies. Raising his axes, he declared himself the victor, as the other two leaders stood up and were ready to challenge him.

The Ghost laughed manically, "Just like leaving D.C, right Light?"

"Yes, it is indeed sir."
