4 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 4 (2/2)

Simon turned to the old man, ”But...What about Juliet?”

Rob began to sadly shake his head at the boy and said, ”I bet they caught her and took her in their place.”

Simon then turned his hand into a fist and gritted his teeth in anger.

Sho began to tremble as tears started to well-up and fall, ”...I...*Hic!*...*Hic!*...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry! Uwahhhhh!”

The blonde haired boy began to wail loudly that it could be heard from the outside. Two guards ran up to cell and opened it. They then banged at the bars with their swords.

”What's with all the racket?!”

Their answer was seeing the poor boy crying loudly, it irritated them both, ”Shut up you stupid little brat! Otherwise I'll cut your tongue off!”

Wally came to Sho's side, ”Calm down, Sho.”

”Sho-kun, it's okay. Jiji is here.” Rob followed suit as he tried to comfort the boy, but unfortunately Sho kept on crying.

Erza began to tremble from all of the commotion as she felt her brother shaking as well.

She hated it. She hated how they were treated, how many people have suffered, how many have died, how her friends were tormented, and most importantly, she hated how she couldn't stop those men from torturing her brother.

'We have to fight.' Erza thought silently as she gritted her teeth.

She just had enough!

Erza removed herself from her brother and lunged at the guard, ”Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”

Much to the guards, Ezra, and everyone else shock, Erza grabbed the other guard's spear and ripped it out of his hands before swinging it to smack the two guards on the face with a sudden strength gain.

”Huh?!” The other cellmates gasped in shock.

From the other side of a different cell, another group of prisoners heard the commotion, ”What's going on?!”

”It's coming from the other cell!”

”It's a revolt!” Yelled one of the guards from outside.

Erza gripped onto the spear with a newfound determination. She faced her brother, friends, and other cellmates and said.

”We won't get freedom by obeying them or running away! We have to fight! Stand up! Stand up for our freedom!”

”Onee-chan...” Ezra muttered out in awe. This was a completely new side to her that he has never seen before.

Simon stood up from his spot and said, ”Erza's right! I'm done having to listen to these guys! All of us can finally break free!”

Wally and Millianna followed, ”Yeah! It's time for some payback!”

”That's right!”

Sho wiped away his remaining tears and gave a hardened look, ”I'm going to help too!”

One by one many of the prisoners began standing up and roared in agreement that it was finally time to fight back. Many had families and homes they wanted to return too, and they weren't going to let anyone take that away from them.

Erza walked up to her brother and held out her hand towards him, ”Ezra, it's time to go. Juliet's waiting for us.”

From behind her were their friends were smiling at him in encouragement. His sister has been protecting him in all her life, but seeing that she found a new strength, it made Ezra want to protect her this time.

Ezra gave his older twin a determined nod as took Erza's hand and got back up, ”Let's go save her!”
