The Ark Of Broadcast To The Mafia

"Do I just say it out loud, or is there something else you should be giving me?" asked Ashley as the screens around the group became the visuals of the Five Domains.

"Hold on... There! Aim your voice towards this stone on this stone column," instructed Z as a stone column with an aquamarine crystal on the top.

The column was tall, with the stone at Ashley's chest level. The Marksman Pillar cleared his throat before making the announcement.

"Attention! I know some of you don't recognize this voice, but to those who do, listen and do as I say! Calling all Mafia staff, listen to my commands loud and clear! At this time, I, Ashley 'Hawkeye' Dalles, ex-Mafia Head, declare an all-out war against the dolls that are wreaking havoc now!"

"There are six Mages behind these disgusting creatures, and they need to be stopped. I implore everyone to work with the Arks and the Five Kings to take those rogue Mages down. The enemies' forces are scattered throughout the Five Domains but do not fear."

"As our staff strength is greater than their entire army! We have the might of the Arks to back us up as well, but they need your teamwork to find these pests. The enemy will not bring us down that easily so go for an all-out hunt for these Six Rogue Mages..."

"Vastra Araakali, Queen Of Sand within the Briton Domain. Astria Faust, the Crystal Princess within the Urnsfield Domain. Fujimaru Raijin, the Stormbringer within the Campania Domain. The Hound Of Madness, Goibinu Conchorbar within the Teuton Domain."

"Last but not least; The Black Knight and her Round Table of Knights residing in Albion. These are your target, so work with any of the Arks' members to hunt down these Rogue Mages. As for those within the Briton Domain, I need you to find for Fabian Brookes and destroy his base."

"I will participate in this battle so I look forward to working with you again. So let's not waste any time and get to work before the polite society gets affected and draws the attention of the elites. So time to play, little ones," commanded Ashley as he stepped away from the crystal.

"Good work, Marksman Pillar," said Mavislin, patting him on the back.

The Marksman had been holding his breath during the last few paragraphs of the announcement and could finally let it out when he saw that the Mafia was responding positively to his words. Messages from all the Signal Crystals were rushing into the room.

One was the current Mafia Head, a man who only went by the letters 'VK'.

"Long time no see, boss. We received your orders, loud and clear. We hope to see you on the battlefield again, Hawkeye Dalles," read the message from VK.

Ashley smiled as he saw VK on one with the screens saluting at him. The overall Mafia Force was agreeing to Ashley's commands which raised the question... But, then, the Marksman realized why the Mafia was so happy to see him even though he was supposed to be dead...

"Lady Roydon, did you let the Mafia know about my death?" whispered Ashley when he placed two halves together.

"Uhm... It might've slipped out of my mind... And in that time, the Arks weren't too close to the Mafia since tensions were still high at the time. That group was born to hate the nobles and Mages who could use powers to have a better life, so I won't tell them we killed their ex-boss..."

"That's a fair reply. I wondered why they didn't look too confused when I returned to life. I hope that they don't ask me... But back to the task, Grand Admiral, do we have the proper support from the Mafia?" asked Ashley, glancing at Z.

"All around confirmation from the Mafia Force to help with the battle. The Five Kings are all rushing to sustain peace in the Domains as the dolls are now active and ready to kill. Now's time for our side of things. Z, what is our update for the targets?" asked Raiyen, monitoring the screens.

"As for the rest of our targets, they've begun their step to fortifying their defenses and increasing their skills while working with other people. But the other people may be the servants or friends of Fabian Brookes or random people who were paid to kill."

"If we don't act quickly now and activate all personnel, I will not doubt that the enemy will create more chaos and casualties. We've already lost a few of the low-ranking and new members," explained Z, showing the data for his words.

"We lost a few members? Why weren't we notified about it earlier?!" asked Tomoe, upset that the Arks were losing members by the Chime.
