>Location: ???

>An idyllic yet alien rural landscape stretches out across rolling hills, lit with a golden light from a setting sun, its comforting presence slowly dipping below the horizon.

>Within one of the fields, a lone green-haired woman sits among a collection of bright, pastel-coloured flowers, writing down notes as she mutters to herself.

“. . .majority of plant life doesn’t follow. . . no native fauna. . .”

>After making several notes, the woman sighs and takes a crystalline object from her belt, touching it.

“Still being blocked by an outside source. I probably have four. . . maybe five spells left in the chamber - or one big one.”

>Putting the object back on her belt, the woman falls back, lying down and looking up at the sky.

“. . .well, I guess there’s worse places to die. . .”

"You demonstrated quite beautifully how to do it."

>The woman does a gesture, summoning a small book to her hand and opening it, handing it over to Stephanie to see - the exact page it rests on showing her burning the field of sunflowers.

"With these things, you burn them all, every root, every bough, and salt the earth so nothing can grow there afterwards. Such is the appropriate punishment for disturbing the natural order of things."

"Why would I ask your permission anyway? I just need someone like you to kill the dragon and everything is complete, the only one who has the right to 'let' me is the Sleeper, and He very much approves of what I'm doing."

>The interior halls of the mechanically constructed stronghold continue to buckle under the pressure and seismic force being exerted in the training areas. As the intensity of the forces continues to ramp up, the buckling and groaning of the nanite-reinforced metals continues to increase, the pitching whines and groans of the material getting louder and louder.

"That's enough, Sophus."

>A figure in a black bodysuit and faint orange light, draped in an ornate and elaborate cloak, simply stares down from his position high above a metallic scrap - looking over their target with interest. The man down below, wearing a simple skin-tight black bodysuit and wearing a stylish chrome helmet with sapphire blue lenses, simply sighs as he murmurs to himself.

"The topological effect radius has increased by roughly sixty-seven percent. That alone is insufficient for a full scale operation."

>The hooded figure slowly hovers down to the ground, with the orange light continuing to flare in intensity - now being more clearly visible as supernatural flames. The arcs of the flames sputtering from his hood are obscured by his position, standing off to the side of the helmet-clad man and his line of sight.

"The intention was never to rely solely on you - as I'm certain you've suspected. All I need from you is what any good general needs from their infantry - competence. The ability to follow orders and execute precisely towards your given parameters."

>Turning their attention away from his psionic underling, the hooded figure begins walking down the halls of their underground base, watching as flanks of soldiers in magitek armor, similar to that of Eukaryon's continue their logistical and strategic operations. There are numerous vehicles being filled with supplies, material objects being constructed from fabricator devices and more.

>As they reach the end of the nearest hallway and find themselves in a hangar bay, the hooded figure then raises out one hand, as a supernatural mass of seemingly sentient matter spontaneously appears from their gloved fingertips. The material, a sentient, biological-magical mixture; an abomination to both magic and science - spontaneously replicates itself, growing larger and larger before it manifests in a humanoid shape.

>The humanoid shape of the bio-magic matter rapidly refines itself into the appearance of two human beings. Both of them, a man and a woman, are tall and well built. They wear stylish black outfits, indicative of leather jackets, black jeans and boots - with unique masks hiding the upper halves of their faces.

"Even after their modifications, the Lux twins were barely-effective mercenaries. Then again, I should not be surprised that Laplace would outsource our world's technology to these primates on Earth."

>Looking over their creations once more, the hooded figure then states:

"Fortunately, I had the luxury of sampling their genetic material after their inevitable failure. I trust that you two won't underperform in the manner that they did."

>The two beings, perfect copies of Lucifer and Lilith, the artificial Meta-Humans created by Placebo, both nod at their creator, with smirks forming on their faces.

>It's here where the central Commander of the MRD presence within Paradise City, the officially sanctioned heroine known as "Panoptica", handles her work and administrative functions as the premier "official heroine" of Paradise City.

"Jessica, you're gonna wanna see this."

"MRD agents noticed a convoy making erratic stops throughout the backend portions of the Industrial District of the city - primarily around the junkyards."

>Around the same time in Haven City, the sister "stronghold city" to both Sanctuary City and Paradise City, the central command center known as "The Cenote" - has its own debriefing.

>The MRD Commander of the city, Minako Kamezawa (also known as Magnetar), is standing in the middle of her command center. The Japanese-American woman in her mid 30s has her arms crossed beneath her long coat as she carefully examines the data being presented to her by her subordinates.

>Her chief lieutenant, Tabitha Hamilton (also known as Roulette), is the first to speak. She brings up a picture of a similar convoy unit to the one found in Paradise City, similarly loading up alien-looking technology into the vehicle before speeding off.

"Our drones picked up an anomalous energy signature emanating from the junkyard at approximately 1800 hours last night. Given the intensity of the energy signature and its quick emanation period, our analysts have concluded that the technology incorporates some sort of signaling beacon into its design. One the 'signal' was given, whatever it was, the device was quickly loaded onto the convoy and sent away."

>The second lieutenant, Heather Vale (also known as Halcyon) then speaks up.

"I used my retrocognition to look into the past, around that period of time. I was able to simulate a potential pathway of movement for the vehicle based on known traffic data and electromagnetic signal data recorded by our drones. It's a rough estimate, but it should give us an idea of the likely other stops the vehicle made along the way."

>Chase sits at his desk within the MRD Spire complex, as his technological data assistant, Aion, hovers beside him. They're both watching as Valkyrie gives her report on the matter, having taken the data from both Paradise City and Haven City in order to deliver a more comprehensive report on the matter.

"….As you can see, Director, this is likely a coordinated operation of some kind. The three major 'stronghold cities' in the United States, known for their exceptionally high Meta-Human populations, were deliberately chosen for this purpose. Whatever the perpetrator behind this operation aims to achieve - we know that it involves this unidentified technological cache - as it has also been found in Sanctuary City via our drone and camera network."

>Mirage, standing on the other side of Valkyrie, then speaks up as the images focus on the zoomed in visage of the same type of non-descript convoy.

"We don't have an ID on the vehicles. No driver's license, no general manufacturer chassis or design to speak of. These vehicles were custom built, and are highly resistant to remote electromagnetic pulse scans. The only signature we could receive was from the devices themselves."

>Chase thinks for a moment as Aion, hovering beside him, turns to face his master user.

["Query: Is it possible that the perpetrator is likely engaging in a 'shell game' of sorts? A protracted exercise in diversion to potentially obfuscate their true agenda and goals?"]

>Time: 12:02am

>Below the dense city streets of Sanctuary lies a maze of tunnels, passages, and chambers. Some of these are simply maintenance tunnels, others parts of previous versions of the city, simply built on top of when the time came for something new, and others yet make up parts of secret routes that have been made, used, and abandoned over the years.

>Within this warren, an undercity has formed, across these tunnels, caves, and mazes, various pockets of people, whether it's those spurned by society, or those just simply seeking a life away from the surface, have formed groups, even settlements in some cases.

>Even further below the tunnels, and sometimes between them, lie the natural caves below Sanctuary City.

>Within one of these caves, a calm lake sits, a small hole within it providing a clear path to somewhere on the surface, outside of the actual city itself, through which the moon shines, a clear image of its lunar body being visible on lake's calm surface.

>At the edge of the lake, a young woman sits, humming a tune to herself, never opening her eyes as she does, a headpiece of crossing lines covering them. From the back of her head, a set of four white, feathered wings sprout, each pair perfectly synchronised, "balancing" the other pair out.

>As the woman hums to herself, another woman enters the cave, a pair of antlers sprouting from the top of her head, and stands behind the young woman, waiting.

Never allow yourself to feel crushed by the weight of an unnecessary burden. I don't want either of you to become like me - someone who never even got to see his own parents before they….."

>Isaac then closes his eyes once more, rubbing his temples, as he then feels two hands on his two shoulders. Opening his eyes in surprise, he looks up to see Aiden and Phoebe standing on either side of him, each of them giving a warm smile as they each speak.

"Believe me, Isaac. We've both got a litany of mistakes that we've made, mistakes that we'd do anything to undo."

"I guess the difference between me and him for the longest time…was that he had something that he was willing to fight for - tooth and nail. Something that wasn't just 'being a great hero' - even if he would never admit it, I'm sure."

>Personal Log, 03.01.17:

"This city is sick, rotting from the inside as parasites from above and below suck it dry, causing the wounds to fester, to burst, leaving behind cancerous growths that weaken its fiber even more.

The people are blind to this, blind to the depravity hidden below the surface, but I, I am aware, and I know now how to cleanse this city. The answer is so simple now that I see it. . .

The city needs a butcher, someone willing to cut off the tumors, and I am that person, I have been chosen.

My friend comes to me at night, they chose me because I understand now, because my eyes have been opened. Because I have seen the message of my counterpart in the sanctuary.

One day, I hope that my work will be complete, but it is not, so my righteous task continues. . ."

“No time for that kid, look!”

Shaking their head in annoyance, they lower their arm and turn around, their cloak covering up the rest of their features, and jump off the level to the bottom floor, running over to the building’s back entrance.

“Looks like this was the place. . . you go ahead, I’ll call in backup - we’ll need it.”

>With a satisifed sigh of relief, the woman closes the bottle again and places it into her pocket, standing back up again.

Sitting at the desk is the President himself, flanked by an older general and a younger officer in a dress uniform, the pair sharing a resemblance to each other despite the difference in age and gender.

"I can assure you, President Underwood, that the latest statements out of our country are simply posturing, the Magistrissa is barely an adult, she will back down if things get too serious. However-"

>Maximilla glances over her shoulder at the red headed woman for a second, narrowing her eyes, then turns back to the president.

"-I would recommend that you tell your allies on Isla del Oesta to tone down their activities, lest the eyes of the world focus on them too much."

Other ones have much more humble footprints, Meta-Gen Solutions is one such corporation. Operating out of building that was clearly impressive when the corporation was founded decades prior, the business offers little available to the general public, instead acting primarily as a Meta-Human focused genetics research company.

>Within one of the older labs, under the illumination of an old flourescent tube that can barely light up the room, a small woman with long black hair works away at a microscope, observing a sample under it. After a few moments of observation, the woman lets out a groan of annoyance and leans back away from scope, the change in position revealing a set of bags under her eyes.

>As the woman leans back, the door to the lab opens and a blonde-haired man enters, letting out a small chuckle as he sees the woman.

Despite the suit he's wearing being tailored, minor scuffs and damage around the edges indicate that the man doesn't work in any kind of position to afford to constantly maintain or replace suits. As the man walks along, the various screens in the plaza play broadcasts from different news organisations, providing around the clock coverage across the globe:

"Despite beating incubent President Underwood on a manifesto promising an end to what some now dub 'the Meta-Human crisis', President Abbott's term has been wracked by a series of attacks, in particular focused on Sanctuary City, leaving many analysts speculating that today's speech will serve as announcement of new, stricter policies around. . ."

"Call them what they are, Donna, they're vigilantes, some of them might style themselves as 'heroes' but the real heroes are the men and women in our emergency services. . ."

"With more and more dictatorships appearing every year, some are questioning if the time has come for the US to take a more proactive. . ."

>The man continues his walk, taking a turn to head down an alleyway, his confidence in it indicating that this route is one he's taken hundreds of times before.

>Time: 12:40pm
>Location: The Oval Office, The White House, Washington D.C.

>President Underwood sits behind the Resolute desk, fixing up his tie and making notes of the cameras around the room as he prepares for his later address. Looking down, he brings out a stack of notes given to him by his press team, reading through them and making his own mental notes.

>As the president goes through his routine, a member of the secret service makes his way over and whispers into his ear.

"We're getting reports that all of the M.R.D. precincts across the country have gone dark. . ."

"An attack? Today?"

"It appears so, sir, or it could be a communications failure of some kind, but I would rather be safe. . ."

"Understood."

>The group steps back for a moment, surprised at the presence of someone within the room, before one of secret service agents takes out his gun, aiming it at the woman.

"Mr President, get back!"

>With a roll of her eyes, the woman stands up and stretches.

"Guess we're doing it the hard way then. . ."

>Kneeling down, the woman grins, taking a position to pounce, then leaps forward at an impressive speed, changing her direction slightly as the secret service agents take out their guns and start firing at her.

>Reaching the first agent, the woman grabs him by the throat and slams him down into the ground, knocking him out in one hit, then looks at the second one, who fires a shot right at the woman.

>As the bullet seems to make contact with the woman, it simply flies through her, and the man feels a tap on his shoulder.

>Location: Sanctuary City - Downtown District
>Time: 1:01 PM

>In a nearby alleyway off the side city's main streets - a group of the various vigilantes gather to discuss the current situation.

"So now all the MRD's being hit across all their precincts? Was this entire thing coordinated from the start?"

>Hyperia says in confusion, and with a bit of annoyance in her voice as she taps a brick in the wall, causing it to crumple into dust.

>Scalar shrugs as he begins reading through the various notes that he's taken during the event - flipping through pages faster than most people can even perceive his movements.

"Not sure, it might be a coordinated attack, though I'm not certain if the escaped Meta-Human criminals were working in tandem with those 'Horsemen'."

>Time: 4:00pm
>Location: The Oval Office, The White House, Washington D.C.

>President Underwood straightens himself as he sits at the Resolute desk, the cameras beginning to roll as he does - a stern look his face the entire time.

"My fellow Americans, I sit before you with the situation changed dramatically from what it was when I planned this address, a situation in which many of you are likely mourning. . ."

>The President is silent for a few seconds, a look of sadness on his face, the message from the gesture being that he mourns alongside those who have lost people.

". . .and I recognize that many of you may believe that I have failed, a belief that is entirely reasonable. You, the American people, elected me on a platform of bringing order to the chaos that our great country has fallen into, yet you are seeing the opposite."

"Many of you will be wondering how this could have happened today, a question that I myself am asking. But more of you will be asking what I. . . what your government is going to do to prevent this from happening again. And that, my fellow Americans, is why I sit before you today. . ."

>The President is silent for a brief moment, catching his breath.

>MRD agents slowly open their eyes, feeling a stuffiness in their helmets. The smell of burning soot and smoke seemingly occupies their lungs, contorting into a numbing, perpetually distasteful stinging in their nostrils.

"….Where's the unidentified Meta-Human?!"

"No visual signal, likely bulldozed past the blockade."

>Slowly rising to their feet, the MRD agents then look around, coughing heavily as their helmets actively attempt filtration of the air. Large black clouds of smoke and soot hang around them, a dark veil that marks the devastation of their prepared blockade formation. Large armored tanks have been melted in half, with entire support barricades being vaporized.

>Miraculously, none of the actual MRD agents have been severely injured - though they've been incapacitated all this while.

"How long were we out, agent?"

>Tarantula thinks long about his options, weighing them through gritted teeth. Then after around a minute of slow pacing, he then finally turns around to face Dana.

"…..Fine. I can accept that even if I did manage to find the proof of what you did - all it would do is cause immense social unrest - and it would put innocent people in even more danger."

>Dana, with a satisfied smug look on her face, then gestures to Daniel, saying:

"If you would be a dear and help me carry my 'intoxicated' husband? I believe he was out for a night of uncharacteristically heavy drinking."

>Looking at her with anger and hatred, Tarantula then says:

"You better pray that I don't tell Damian the truth - ever."

>Dana then confidently walks up to Tarantula and taps him on the cheek, stating:

As one of the two major aspects of the biotechnology division of Archeon - his new position affords him a significant degree of executive power. Wearing his black executive coat, he carefully parts his white hair as he looks into the mirror.

>Dana slowly walks into the large office space, an amused smile on her face as she says:

"Can't your colleague ask how your first day as an executive has been? Remember, I'm not your boss anymore, Joshua. I'm your colleague now."

>Raising an eyebrow, Joshua watches as Dana then gives a dismissive gesture as she walks around the room, saying:

"Why do I get the feeling that was always part of your plan?"

>Walking over to a nearby table, Dana takes one of the red wine bottles and opens it up - pouring herself a glass before effortlessly shaking it with her wrist motions.

"Well you're a grown man, Joshua. You can make your own decisions can't you? As a man in your late 20s. You don't need the guidance of others to set you on a proper path, no?"

>Smelling the aroma of the wine, Dana then takes a sip - savoring the taste as she puts the glass down.

>Leaning against the table, Dana continues shaking her glass with her wrist slowly. As she does so, she gives Joshua a wistful expression as she states:

"Do you know why I picked you to be my assistant, Joshua?"

>Joshua narrows his eyes as he continues to cross his arms across his coat jacket.

>Turning back to face Joshua, she then tosses the drink to the ground as it shatters - walking towards him.

"What are you doing-"

>Joshua then stops talking, as Dana stands right in front of him - holding out her hand to show him a small device in her palm.

"What is that?"

>Dana, still looking directly at Joshua, immediately begins speaking to him in a neutral tone of voice, fully demonstrating her complete control over her actions.

"A little something I swiped from a Eukaryon-based lab, when I was still in captivity and replaced by Mirage's clone."

>Tossing the device on the ground, Dana watches calmly as it slowly grows into a large technological structure.
