The Initiation was about to begin, and nobody knew what was coming. In front of a minor politicians offices building stood 12 men in black robes, with a mysterious red emblem reminiscent of an elephant appearing on the back and sleeves. It was a single file line, and they stared down the front doors.

"What do you MEAN they just appeared!?" Amy Jacob was shouting into a Nova Phone, about a block away. The Assistant Director of the Zarethian Hand had been very stressed lately, what with riots in the streets and strange alien races appearing out of nowhere. She hadn't slept in forty eight hours, and was running low on coffee as she walked angrily down the sidewalk in her business attire.

"T-twelve of them, ma'am. They just appeared," came the voice from the other side of the phone, "What should we do!?"

"Call for backup. I'll be there in a bit..."

"Yes, ma'am."

Quickly texting Director Hermitage and informing him of the incident, she made her way towards the office building, drawing her firearm as she approached it. A few people who passed her by were frightened by her weaponry, but that was nothing a quick flash of her badge couldn't fix. As she reached the office building, just across the street from it, she joined up with her team of about twelve men, all dressed in riot protection gear.

"What the hell are they carrying?" she asked, tucking her blonde air back behind her ear as she stared at the elephant-like creature emblem.

"I'm not sure, ma'am," one of the men replied, "But... This office, it belongs to a politician, we think it may be a senator though we're not certain yet."

"WELL FIND OUT!" Amy replied, "What am I paying you for!?"

She smiled before calling out to the men. "'Ello there! Mind giving me a moment?"

Quite dramatically, they all pulled back their hoods at once, and turned their heads to look at her. Their expressions were completely blank. All twelve were Zarethians for sure, men ranging from their early twenties to mid thirties. They simply stared, and said nothing.

"What the hell!?" one of the men shouted. "They're bloody crazy... What ARE they, though!? They look like they've just heard a Lorcar's scream or something. And why're they dressed so odd!? And what the hell are they carrying, anyway!?"

"Relax," Amy replied, "They're Zarethian, nothing to worry about... Call off the backup. I'll go have a chat with the folks inside and make sure these guys aren't anyone to worry about. We'll be off for tea by the end of the hour. Just wait for me here?"

"Ma'am," they replied, nearly uniformly as she walked across the street to the group. "'Ello gentlemen. Let's see who's home, shall we?"

And with that, she opened the door to the office building and walked inside, beckoning for the others to follow her. "Uh... You can leave that out here, I guess," she said, motioning towards the elephant emblem.

The twelve turned their heads to watch her simultaneously, and at her beckoning set down the carried emblem. Keeping their single file, they followed her closely into the office.

OOC: Uh... Who's office is this anyway?

UnStellar · « **Reply #6 on:** August 31, 2012, 04:25:58 PM »

OOC: NPC senator?

Within a few moments, a black limo with tinted windows rolled up. The door opened, and a man wearing a Zarethian Military uniform, with numerous decoration on it, stepped out and put on his shades. As he stood up, his rank could now be clearly seen, followed by his nametag, Hermitage. Many people stood straight up at the site of the numerous identifiers.

"A little too late for that Amy." He said as he approached.

OOC: Uh I think Zak should proooobably NPC him, where is he?

"Director, sir!" Amy gasped, bowing slightly, a Zarethian sign of respect. She hadn't expected the good director to show up himself. Sure, he liked to be updated on situations like this, but, did he know these people or something? Why was he so confident... And so ho- Stop it, girl, you can't think this way about your boss. Get a grip.

"Sir, what do you mean, 'It's too late for that.'?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #9 on:** September 01, 2012, 10:38:48 AM »

OOC: I dont know. I do control the Senate after all.

UnStellar · « **Reply #10 on:** September 01, 2012, 11:54:19 AM »

OOC: Zak hasn't been around in a bit... And this isn't a diplomatic meeting.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #11 on:** September 01, 2012, 11:55:18 AM »

OOC: I guess that solves that then.

"Your reinforcements, of course." he said as the doors closed behind him. He stood tall, and proud like a man with a new purpose. Of course, this was pretty common after his meritorious actions during the Alpha crisis. "Shall we proceed Ms. Jacobs?"

OOC: Lyoko you control some of the senate. K2, read my topic in goodbye about parents, schoolwork and every other bit of ~~shit~~ fun I may or may not have posted about. Carry on.

On the tops of various buildings with good line of sight, Zarethians clothed in the in gray-black fatigues and black ceramic plate armour appeared. There were two of them on each building top, one of each pair carrying an elongated pulse rifle whilst the other carried binoculars. Each of the spotters laid down a small circular device about two inches in diameter with a blinking purple light onto the building top. An AM forcefield surrounded the area. The snipers got into position and waited.

OOC: Is the Senator in the office?

K2 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:44:28 PM »

"W-what the hell," Amy replied, noticing the AM Field that had risen up around the building. She wanted to call her men outside towards the building... She had a bad feeling about all of this. But she decided to just trust Hermitage. Whatever was going on, Hermitage wouldn't steer them wrong... Right?

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2012, 01:06:31 AM »

(I'd assume, yes)

"Dont worry... Its just the DSS setting up procedure." he replied nonchalantly. He led the 12 men into a conference room and gestured for Amy to follow.

Outside, the DSS, and HIRU we waiting to launch at a moments notice. "Echo-1, this is Tango-6. Confirm King is inside, over." a DSS sniper calls to another one stationed outside on the entrance,

"No positive, Tango-6. We confirm Queen is inside. King's chariot is present over. Stand-by for scan." Echo-1 calls back.

"Copy that, standing by, over." Tango-6 replied.

After a few short moments, the scan was finished. "Tango-6, this is Echo-1. Confirmed presence of King inside facility. King is inside facility." he calls back.

"Copy that Echo. HIRU tactical response is enroute to reinforce sniper positions." Tango-6 calls back. "6, out.*

"We grow impatient." One of them stated plainly, without a hint of emotion. The twelve continued to stare blankly all around them.

K2 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 17, 2012, 06:33:00 PM »

"Right. What is it that you people are doing here?" Amy asked the twelve. "You can't just come barging into a senator's office dressed like. That... And carrying a cow... That's, well, absurd. Is it worth calling entire sniper teams in?" she glared harshly at Hermitage. "No, I overreacted and called for a bit of backup, and when the Assistant Director of the Zarethian Hand calls for backup, they always assume the worst. But the question remains. Why are you here?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #18 on:** September 17, 2012, 10:12:31 PM »

"Some secrets must remain m'dear." He says to her. "We can deal with that later though. By now, the DSS have found out that im here, so calling off the reinforcements wont do any good i suppose."

Gradually, the slightest change came over one of the men. His eyes changed to red, and he took on mannerisms.
"You would be wise to cease stalling." He said plainly.

"Stalling what!?" Amy yelled, finally snapping from all the secrets and confusion, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, SIR?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #21 on:** September 25, 2012, 01:01:10 AM »

"Of course, gentlemen..." he said while completely ignoring Amy's question. "What is it that you want or seek. I am a man of little time, so be aware that this may be your only chance to speak with someone with my power." he said and waited.

UnStellar · « **Reply #22 on:** September 25, 2012, 09:33:57 PM »

The red eyed man gazed at his eleven companions, and they met his glance. He gave them each a smile.
"We had come for the Senator... But you will just have to do." A change came over his face, his skin shifted to red and his teeth turned vicious. This shift occurred almost instantaneously, he jumped out of his chair well screaming,
"I WILL RIP YOUR FUCKING HEART OUT." He flew towards Hermitage teeth bared, and two of the other men leaped towards Amy, their robes turning to ash to increase their mobility. The remaining lead a bull rush towards the pair, effectively dog piling them and ripping at them. A red energy started surging around the Leader's arm as he ripped at Hermitage.

Amy yelped out an extremely girlish scream as she jumped out of the way of her attackers -- and directly into the path of the one who was going for Hermitage. As he bit into her shoulder blade, she screamed. The pain... It was so intense. She had never felt anything so awful.

And raw instinct took over from there. Her body stopped feeling. She had heard about the body going into shock, but, besides breaking her arm as a little girl, had never really experienced it. Mind blank, emotionless, she, in an all too quick motion common for those with military training, pulled out her pistol and fired five shots at the attacker who's teeth were sinked into her shoulder.

By then, the others had reached her and dogpiled her, and the pain became too intense as she passed out. She only hoped she'd saved Hermitage for him to get out of the way -- and maybe, just maybe, the Hand agents outside had heard her scream.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #24 on:** September 27, 2012, 03:15:50 AM »

When the man started to talk, the tone of his voice and what he said gave Hermitage the wrong feeling. Giving a quick glance through the windows lining one of the sides of the room at a DSS Sniper, they realized something was amiss. Then...

The man's eyes turned red, and Hermitage yelled out, "ENGAGE". In a swift motion, Regis pulled out his combat knife, and stuck in in the throat of one of the men near him. The windows shattered as pre-sighted targets were engaged through the glass by the snipers. By the time Hermitage had drawn his side arm, he heard a dreadful sound. It was Amy.

He immediately looked over to his right, and saw Amy as she pulled out her own gun and fired. Hermitage instinctively engaged as the 2 on top of Amy and rushed to pull her away while the men focused on the direction of his fire.

HIRU Agents who had been standing by, busted through the doors, guns ready, and were surprised to see the Director holding Amy in a corner with his weapon drawn at the remaining enemies. "Intervention Unit! stand down!" one of the Agents ordered.

"Shoot them!" Regis shouted. He held Amy close with his left arms while remaining ready with his weapon in his right. A few more shots went off from the SMGs the HIRU Agents were packing, hoping to subdue the men. Several HIRU agents shuffled around to the left where Hermitage was, to guard him and the Assistant Director.
