The third day into the plan, Friday November 7th 2030
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId9AKMG7HN
In the early morning Blue was the only one awake as Red was still fast asleep by his side. He couldn't help but to take in her appearance for a bit before deciding to write his 16th journal entry. Though — something very smart of him — Blue had ripped out all his previous journal entries on a small whim he had last night. They felt his past writings would be safe with Green; the two had made an agreement before the enby with emerald locks departed back to their secretive group. This meant that if his journal was to get stolen then basically nothing but their 17th entry could be found, although that's all; he ripped out his personal map but kept it in his satchel. He then reached for his journal on the bedside table and opened it immediately to a blank page and began to write with his scuffed up pencil.

journal entry 16

Finally my only friends in this shitty world are free from their past mistakes that they did not even willingly do, it makes me have even more hope as the three of us have burned our past, leaving it behind to rot like this city will if we don't do something to save it. And I know Green will keep this safe if anything happens to me and my girl... Red. She's the reason I'm even going through with this thought of changing this gray city to become even better than it ever was before so me and Red's haven won't just be inside this tiny hideout.
Stay Blue...
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V1KyiHQNU
After finishing it he ripped it out of their journal before closing it, immediately returning the journal to his bedside table and then fell back asleep after cuddling with Red as she still slept there quietly.

The next day, Saturday November 8th, 8 A.M.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayOlntUaZI
Both Blue and Red were enjoying their time together most definitely although the muffled noises of Infiltrators passing by the hideout the past 4 days or so days. When Blue finally woke up his eyes met with Red's — who was sitting on the floor drawing — as she looked over to him because of the sound of the bed rustling. The morning sun was shining through the window ever so slightly, landing on Red.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Fp2Z97Va
Before he spoke up with a tired voice, Blue would let out a yawn.
"Hey... what are you doing?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YzdROgo7f
"I'm just drawing, I didn't want to wake you up so I decided to do something to calm my nerves. Do you think we can head to Green's place? They said we could come whenever."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WyVZQTwlT
Waking up some more, Blue turned himself to where his legs would hang off of the bed.
"I think so... yeah, we can get ready to head to Green's hideout. Just remember we have to blend in with the crowd, alright? We can't afford to be followed by anyone who thinks we're suspicious."
After finishing their talking he would grab his shirt laying half on and half off the mattress, stretching his arms up so it would slide down onto his body with ease.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpkn5oX5l1
Red watched him do so as it was hard to look away, but she knew Blue had a hard time sleeping due to it still being rather warm in the hideout. Though she thought it was nice gazing at his body, looking a bit dumbfounded. Now he grabbed his pants and got out of bed to put them on with a bit of a struggle. This made blush almost the colour of her hair appear on her face, so she continued to focus on drawing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjI3wzxWKC
Blue crouched down by Reds side after getting his necklace on, watching her draw but ended up spooking her instead.
"Oh— are you ready now...?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHyfNwXiu
"Ya, if you want to draw more I'm alright with that. I'll just wait on the couch and journal again, kinda in the mood to do so."
He said with a soft smile before grabbing his shades from the bedside table along with his satchel that'd hung off of it.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBSawNpxuG
Blue then left the room and entered the living room, sitting on the couch and writing his 17th entry. But before he officially did start to write, their ears picked up the sound of Infiltrators outside once again. His curiosity grabbed a hold of him, walking to the door and peaking through a little hole in which let him see an Infiltrator pass by while searching for him. It was nerve racking, yes— but he felt invincible and returned back to the couch to finally write their next journal entry... wondering if there would be a final journal of his or not. He wanted to do this for as long as he can, so he must continue to write.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28qWfzjzQm
journal entry 17
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b1N6kWQZ4
It's actually Funny how clueless these Infiltrators are; l've seen like 5 of them walk by my hideout and they can't figure out where it is... It's cool I'm not worried, these few weeks have
been so enlightening and I have this feeling of invincibility. I still carry my knife and you know what I can do with that. My strongest weapon is my confidence to say what I believe in; this is why I must continue to write for as long as possible. I must hope that my writings will
somehow reach someone and inspire them. The life you're living... if you're not content with your circumstances it IS possible to create a better world for yourself. Once you get that taste of hope and realize what's possible, you will want to chase it with everything you have. Hemlock hates these concepts such as love and hope, because these are threats to Hemlock's power. Wow I'm really rambling.
Stay cool...
—Blue
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6kjWy31MW
After he stopped splurging out everything on paper, Blue sighed as he felt free and like he was truly doing something that will change Hemlock for the better. Before he could even think of ripping out the page, Red finally came out of the bedroom with a more undercover look to herself, a beanie over her hair and that was mostly all they had on hand that wouldn't make them both look super suspicious looking.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuGD1kA3rx
"Well it looks like you're ready now...! I'll get my hoodie on then we can head out."
Blue then stuffed his journal into their satchel, it only containing journal entry 17 and a drawn map of Hemlock while entry 16 was ripped out and still in his bag. He grabbed the ripped hoodie that was on the left arm of the couch which was the side close to the front door, sliding it onto his body like they did with their shirt. Nearing the door, Blue softly turned to Red which caused her to stop as he kneeled down slightly to get to be her level. He had to whisper just in case any Infiltrators happened to be near again.
"How about a good luck kiss before we go? Our first one... if that's what you please, babe."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmaeQBJ4Tx
The look in their eyes was too endearing for Red to pass up sharing their first kiss right before entering the most dangerous times of their lives. Because who knows what will happen in the future? Will this be their first and last kiss? Will they succeed in destroying the general and maybe even the Dictator? Red did not know just like Blue, so she nodded gently in giving him consent. And without speaking any further, Red pulled Blue in for a kiss that felt just right and just as heavenly and gentle as she imagined.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNDayDFlwg
After maybe 5 seconds the short kiss was over and Blue gleefully chuckled as blush formed on both their cheeks. Then he whispered to her with a warm voice that captivated her.
"Thanks for that... but we should go now. I'll have you follow behind me so I can make sure the coast is clear, is that alright with you...?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcceniILm1
"... Sure, I'm alright with that."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlw8DeCNxN
Blue nodded as this was his signal to begin heading out of the hideout all while keeping an eye out for any passing Infiltrators, in which there was currently none. They whispered back at Red just clearly enough for her to hear him.
"Come on... I don't see anyone. We'll catch a train down at the station in Hemlock, nearest to Deceiver Headquarters."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxb0tfFZO5
For a while it was all fine and dandy— or so they thought.
"Looks like there's no one again. Let's go, we're close to the station."
Blue whispered to Red before he noticed an Infiltrator nearby and so did she. Red could tell it was 1204, one of the Infiltrators whose partner was killed by Blue. They whispered to Red again and held her back protectively.
"Shoot— never mind. Stay behind me, we'll wait till they pass."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVoPCHBwO4
"Why are you even hiding me—??"
She said under her breath with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRaT4w2uJT
"Shh-!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoChYxtyti
1204 heard Blue's shush towards Red and quickly pulled out his gun.
"I heard that! I know it's you, fugitive..."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXVaIfZgAy
He watched as the Infiltrator ran towards where he heard the noise— exactly towards the both of them.
"Shit— while I deal with him you go to the train station, okay?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrtV6ZlALV
"What??— ugh... fine."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgldWMZq5X
The two men then came in contact as Blue made himself known by dashing towards the Infiltrator at full speed, tackling him down to the floor as they took out their knife from their pants pocket. He grabbed the gun 1204 had on hand, shoving it out of his hands before he had the chance to shoot Blue at all. While this was happening, Red ran across the scene and reached a spot where she could watch in case Blue needed help as she knew well how he can be too full of himself with protecting her at all cost, but she also wanted to protect him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnVJba476f
1204 did not back down though, pushing Blue off of him and quickly getting back on his feet.
"Im gonna kill you, stupid fucking fugitive! I'll put you in your place!"
But Blue was diligent and quick — slashing his knife across the Infiltrator's face, then heeding for a jab in his chest with the blade of it — yet 1204 managed to shove Blue off of him again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1vIuSLJ9z
Red could not bear standing there, wanting to help as she knew she had to do something when 1204 struck a punch to Blue's face, giving him a black eye. She tackled the tall man down, now both of the fugitives having done so, and this allowed Blue to get on his feet. They were shocked by Red's sudden appearance and how she basically saved him, yet not saying a word to keep her identity secret— but also from shock. Although 1204 was stronger than whoever this was, then knocking knocked her off himself before he went back to inflicting more pain into Blue.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe4eKJDiHq
1204 noticed their satchel and headed for it in an attempt to snatch it, or at least something from it. He held back Blue's arm from coming in contact with him, smuggled his hand into the bag and grabbed out his journal. Next thing he did was yank their knife out of their hand and the Infiltrator threw it behind himself to get out of Blue's reach... with Red catching it out of pure luck. Her rage was bubbling as the Infiltrator overtook Blue, punching him too many times to count while Blue tried his hardest to get out of it but 1204 was too strong. Red didn't think twice and stabbed 1204 in the back, then yanking it out of him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjDMfR0Bdf
The Infiltrator cried out in pain and got off of Blue, stopping the constant punching towards them, and looked at Red— wondering who the fuck she is before he ran off to get the journal back to the Infiltrator Base. 1204 would patch himself up on the way there in effort to not let himself bleed out. But Red didn't care about 1204 anymore, immediately checking on Blue as they lied there with an immense amount of pain in his face.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC02IQnR95b
"Shit... I'll help you to the station— I'm so sorry he did that to you."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVHlHLiKS
"Haha... it's fine, didn't think you guys were so strong."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdkslMNKJN
This got a small laugh and smile out of Red, but her tone was still more on the serious side.
"I guess so, but come on we can't stay in one place. I'm pretty sure I saw him run off with your journal... but we just need to make sure we get to Green's place in one piece."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUfD0lVEYb
"Wait, he did—??"
Blue said with a mad but also worried tone, he didn't want his hideout to be discovered as well as the one entry he forgot to rip out of their journal. They looked in their satchel and it was in fact gone.
"Fuck, I still have an entry in there and the map. I'm an idiot... I shouldn't have let him beat me up like that!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMz0fRue6i
"It's alright, we got this okay? Me and you. Now get up dude, I know you're stronger than this. I've seen you stronger than this."
She said in a soft, extremely caring tone as she held out her arm for him to grab and helped up with in which he accepted and grabbed her hand.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lgUNVXvLe
"Thanks... I was just freaking out 'cause they'll probably destroy everything in there! And most likely the Tree, too.."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ028i7WpvGX
The girl sighed tiredly.
"All that matters is that we're still alive, and that means we still have a chance to kill the general... then maybe one day the Dictator. And everything will be better after that. And for the Tree... I'm sure it'll always be with us, giving us the power to push through and... so much more. Isn't that what it does?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgXjBOzign
"Yeah... yeah, you're right."
Blue held Red close as he then moved both of his hands below her cheeks, holding her head to where she'd look up at him.
"... I love you. So much."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtWXmvk7ZC
"I feel the same, I always will."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSz5hPfovD
And so the two lovers continued their way to the station, it being around 9:00 am when they successfully reached the station packed with people going to work, or more so contribute to the machine — Bluehated being reminded of the mundane life he had before this. Riding the train every morning. All the smells of hundreds of people it seemed. Everyone packed into the same train which was so fast it would woozy his head after each stop. He wasn't able to move closer to the factory as there were no residential buildings near it, only jobs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lIQqxH0o5
Luckily both Blue and Red entered the train just in time, getting two spots together and refrained from looking like lovers— but something unlucky was on the train with them. A few seconds passed with the train was zooming down the futuristic tracks, although the sound of a walkie talkie came on which was insanely close to them. An Infiltrator was on the train. They were called by 1204 who was warning this Infiltrator that the fugitive is heading to — or even may already be on — the train by now, as 1204 seen on the virtual hologram map that 0229 was heading to her patrol route via train.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbQkATN9Kh
"So you're saying the fugitive might be on the train? Okay... let me look around a bit, then I'll report back if I see that blue scum."
She glanced over the people in front of her before turning her back. Blue was nervous. Extremely nervous, anxious, and everything under that umbrella. The Infiltrator then announced to the large crowd.
"I am ordered to inspect this train, now everyone remain where you are and this will be over soon. No hoods aloud. Everyone must show what they look like; supposedly the fugitive may be on this train."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHRjHSg0hm
There was the slight sound of the people in the train fearing over the fugitive being in the same place as them. 0229 looked around again and Blue did not remove their hood, and Ref not mention that to him as she believed he had something up his sleeve.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv90nRStneq
Very soon the Infiltrator would come up to Blue who held his head down, looking at the ground with a hard stare.
"Hey, I said no hoods! Especially hiding your face— A victims gotta listen to what the law says."
Blue only smirked along with a small scoff.
"Fuck is wrong with ya? You think this is funny?!"
She pulled Blue up by the collar of his ripped and torn hoodie, huffing and puffing in their face.
"Speak, you damn homeless victim."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRL8JXAVI1
The fugitive resisted, instead revealing their knife along with his face which caused a ruckus among everyone in the train. He pushed his legs against the Infiltrator's therefore causing the both of them to fall on the ground with him rolling out from under her. Unlucky for him was that the Infiltrator was able to get up quickly just like him and yanked them towards her by his arm. First she uppercut him, second she punched the side of Blues face plenty of times, and third... she pulled out her gun.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJDT1qk9fg
Red was having none of this— seeing her love getting beat up AGAIN every passing second... and now being held at gun point. The girl grabbed ahold of the Infiltrator's gun in mere seconds after it'd been pulled out. She aimed it away from Blue before giving him a look to stab the woman. He understood her signal and jabbed the knife repeatedly in and out of her stomach that armour was not protecting well enough. The first stab caused a blood curdling scream to escape her mouth as the gun fell from her hands... crashing to the floor. Blue's ears were ringing after the Infiltrator used her last moments to pull him down with her, causing Blue to slam his head on the ground.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh32yKys13Q
Red's breath halted at the sight of this... now she knew what she had to do. The ex-infiltrator of course knew well of how to work a gun, and it wouldn't be a long shot at all... so she could do this. Shoot the Infiltrator right through her head; blow her brains out; save Blue, that's her motto, it... keeps her going. Quite frankly she was done with these higher ups as she and Green willingly joined the minority of Hemlock. So she grabbed the gun and the woman only could scramble out some non-legible words in terror before Red did just as she imagined, blowing the Infiltrators brains out. Blood splattering on many in the train along with both the lovers. Even Blue was surprised, but he was already in a daze from all the impact his body has faced in such a short amount of time.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNy0eayP7H
The girl sighed as she sat next to Blue again, the people to the side of their seats scooted away from them, fearing them. But there was a somewhat young looking victim who stood out among the crowd, looking damaged just like both Blue and Red... they had purple hair with the lower part being black, like an undercut of some sort— but not. Their eyes widened and looked away in embarrassment after noticing Red staring at them confusingly while Blue was resting next to her, his head lying on her shoulder. It was an odd, distant exchange of eye contact at each other, but Red rubbed it off as she turned her attention to Blue, making sure he's doing alright and such.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVtuDAGaOc
10 minutes later, 9:20 A.M.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWA6Q0YJ6x
The train came to a sudden halt with a mechanical, robot-like voice announcing that the train had reached the destination Blue and Red were waiting for, Cape Mercy. Somehow Red managed to squeeze past the crowd all while helping Blue walk, his shaky breathes nerve-racking for her to hear. They slowly made their way to Green's hideout with those three other members, and Red has never met them as it's been said how secretive this group is. She desperately hoped they would reach the place without crossing paths with any Infiltrators, and so they did.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMyAbCSB9R
Another 10 minutes or so later, 9:30 A.M
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuX9NX8Rtb
It did not take long to get there as the train stop was relatively close to where the two were told the hideout is at. Soon they came to stand in front of a secretive door, guessing that it must be the entrance to their friend's place. Red gave an urgent knock on the door, knowing that was how to get the door to be opened by one of the four who congregate here whenever they please. She had also pulled off her beanie covering her hair just incase someone else than Green came to open the door.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33J8tRqcDj
After some seconds, her and Blue heard slight rustling around beyond the door— assuming it must be someone coming to open it. Turns out it was all three of Green's partners.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQ89EU1tm
"Is that her?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnaelDgE0I
"I think so... then that must be the dude Kage told us about."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0nyKirC5s
"Maybe—"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSXYXYRmkQ
There was the sound of someone walking quickly up to the door before a new, familiar voice spoke.
"Guys, just let me get the door..."
When the door opened the two were greeted with that familiar face, Green. Then Red remembered she forgot to tell Blue that Green's name had been Kage at their hideout, their actual name before Hemlock took order.
"Shit, dude... what happened?! Never mind— get in, quickly."
They gently but urgently ushered Blue and Red to enter as there's always the chance that an enemy is around. But their tone changed to a welcoming one when the door was locked tightly.
"Heyy, missed ya two already!... Now uh... the fuck happened to you, Blue??"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wVfbCie2z
Blue couldn't help but slightly chuckle tiredly at their sudden enthusiasm towards him and Red before that died down as Green seemed to be serious.
"... we, uh, crossed paths with two Infiltrators on our way here. One took my journal, and now I'm embarrassed that both of them beat me up like that... I was lucky enough that Red was there to help me. Infiltrators are really strong, I guess."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH3dbPao3C
"Oh man... yeah, that's definitely bad. What was left in it? I know you've been giving me your journal entry's so it can be so bad.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQM7BcaXQP
"Well, my 17th entry was still in there along with the drawn map of hemlock and some of the surrounding area. They're gonna find my damn hideout now... I don't know what to do."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EOeHEVshm
"Hey— it's okay... you guys can stay here if needed; we have plenty of room. Also, Red, where'd you get that Infiltrator gun? I don't think I brought any over."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCHZs64bP
"We encountered an Infiltrator while on the train going here, so I killed her with her own weapon. That's all..."
Red said nonchalantly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEMdSq2HA3
"Hm, cool!"
They said back to Red while the four members — including Green — of the group in front of the two nodded in approval... or just looks of approval with how she killed one with their own gun.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDULlPAbXDQ
Next Blue had tiredly asked Green a question , a simple one of that.
"So, who... who are these three?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0DTnvwaiP
"Oh yeah— this is Emma right next to me."
They said while pointing their thumb to the left of them, that being towards the girl with golden-blonde hair that turned black as it reached down to her upper chest.
"Then that guy right next to her is Lee. They're together like you two are."
Said Green as they pointed towards the man next to Emma, having black hair that covered one eye.
"And this lil dudes my sib!"
They said while rustling their younger siblings hair which was similar to Greens, that being of locks, but a natural black/dark brown colour.
"Their name's Novu! That's all the people I got up in here, we've basically all been a fam ever since Hemlock rose up and uh... yeah, shit like that..."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzMtVdP6BN
"Haha... you got a cool group here, Green. Were they going to help with, ya know, ending the general? Or is that just for me and Red to do, and maybe you."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlo9W7mc43
"Well... I think it's best for them to choose don't wanna force you guys into anything."
Green said, looking at the three other of their squad.
"I also wanna make sure Novu stays safe..."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AMFSWJx5W
"You don't gotta be so protective over me, dude... it's embarrassing."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANuhkjKf1H
"Sorry about that— I'll let you if you make sure to practice your skills and get prepared like all of us are gonna do. I don't know how urgently we'll need to try killing the general considering Blue's hideout is known of most likely. Maybe later this day, who knows. Every one go and practice with your gun of choice. I'll show Blue and Red around."
Blue and Red looked at each other as everyone else but Green headed to their respective places to practice at.
"Come on guys, I'll show you what the place has to offer."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3JgzjBy4v
They followed their lead, Green showing the two about every room and things inside of the bunker. Things like the hideouts collection of guns, and weapons like knifes and such— it was impressive to both Blue and Red, they agreed that Green and the three truly did score with this spot. Certainly they will not fail in killing General Grievous. They will succeed.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYHgwAKGKR
Everyone would switch with practicing with each other through friendly fights as well as target practice for a flexible amount of hours. Meanwhile, at the Infiltrator Base, General Grievous would be informed of the finding of journal entry 17 and a drawn map of Hemlock from the fugitives journal. There would soon be a post on Social Media by Hemlock after Infiltrator Intelligence analyses the information gained from these written paper's.
