Black Sword Order

Dazzled by the sudden reflection of light by the spikes, the car veers off the road onto a pavement, crashes into some bins and pulls back onto the road successfully evading the spikes. Raising his head, he discovers Tawny Owl following close behind.

"You've got to be kidding me" Hammer Fist says pressing a button causing the spikes to cluster together and he picks it.

"Rex to Death Stalker, Silent Samurai and Hammer Fist. We are in pursuit on the road leading to the DCC bank. If you take the buildings, you should be able to intercept him right before the bend to the DCC bank"

"Roger" they affirm at once and begin to move to intercept the escapee.

The police start to flood the streets heading to the destination of the incidents. Windows begin to slide open as curious eyes peek at the streets, some noticing two vehicles, a car and a motorcycle zooming past. Right before the bend, Death Stalker jumps and throws an EMP shuriken which dashes towards the car with incredible speed, landing on it's bonnet and shutting the car's engine down. He hangs onto the fire escape of the next building and descends. The others soon arrive and follow him down.

The car skids and crashes into bins and slowly stops, smoke emitting from the bonnet. Rex yanks off the car door and pulls out the occupant who is coughing.

"Wh… wh… Who the hell are you?" he stammers.

"That's not necessary. What matters is the message you are going to deliver to your boss when you regain consciousness"

"Wh… what message?"

"You my friend, are the message" he sneers and punches him out cold before putting him back into the car and tightens his seat belt. He opens the glove box but found nothing in there.

"There's nothing in here. It's empty".

"Who the hell are these guys" Silent Samurai asks.

"No idea. Alex, scan"

"The car is completely empty sir. There are no trackers of any sort, no documents either"

"Not even his drivers license?"

"No sir"

"What about him?"

"I'm afraid there are no records of him in my database"

"These guys are way too careful" Silent Samurai announces.

"What about tattoos" Rex questions

"None"

"Ugh!" he says disappointedly and walks over to the front of the car. Alex scans the number plate.

"There are no records of this vehicle's registration. This number plate is most likely altered"

"Not surprising"

"Hold on. This car is new. I would say a few months. We can check car purchases and cars delivered to this part of the city" Owl says.

"Yeah, that's right. When was this model released?" Death Stalker agrees

"About three months ago"

"Alex, look up all online and offline purchases of this model over the last four months"

"Yes sir".

Rex injects a tracker into the mans nape and slams the broken door into place.

"Sir my protocol is being over written. Someone is trying to access the computers in the lair" Alex alerts him.

"Wh.... Do you have a visual?" Rex asks.

"I'm afraid not sir"

"Initiate lockdown. We would be there in a jiffy"

"Right away".

A bright light zooms past them, then slowly settles on them from above.

"CCPD! [Camcot City Police Department] freeze; we have you surrounded, put up your hands and slowly go down on your knees. If you prove to be hostile, we would open fire, I repeat if you prove to be hostile, we would open fire" comes a clear yet assertive voice from the police chopper above them.

"Sir detecting multiple heat signature approaching this location. They are closing in fast"

"That can't be good"

"Crap, what do we do now" Hammer Fist asks.

"Owl, get ready to take out the lights. As soon as she does, Death Stalker I need you to block their vision with a smoke screen, Hammer Fist, I need near field EMP's planted here, slow down those on the ground, Silent Samurai, take out that gun pointing at us" Rex quickly says.

"Roger" they all affirm.

Laser lights from guns on the chopper are pointed at them.

"Ready.... now!".

The Owl takes out the lights in one shot as low fire power disc grenades fly towards the weapons on board and Death Stalker blinds them with a smoke screen.

"We've been hit. Shots fired, shots fired. Requesting back up at 03" comes a voice from the chopper. The chopper pulls out of the way and rises higher. The grenades go off as well. Pieces of the metal drop to the ground. Owl speeds off on the bike as the others disappear into an alley. Patrol cars speed into the area but soon skid to a stop as their engines shutdown.

FEW MOMENTS LATER

"Alpha one to Alpha two, do you have a visual?"

"Negative alpha one, I think we lost them"

"Alpha three, status" comes a voice from Alpha one.

"We just lost the bike under the bridge. No idea where they disappeared to"

"Who the hell I these guys?" asks one from Alpha two.

"I have no idea but I wouldn't like to cross them. They took out five of those warehouses on their own" says one from Alpha three.

"So, what are they? Friend or foe?"

"Can't tell at the moment. We don't have much information on them. Who they are or where they come from. They just appeared out of the blue. What do you think alpha one?"

"Friend or foe? that doesn't matter. They attacked the police. That should be enough reason to want to bring them in"

"Alright boys, lets head to the warehouses" says alpha three. Three choppers speed on steadily away from their locations and towards the warehouses.

LAIR

8:00 PM

"Alex, activate Blue Horn protocol" Rex shouts as they near the lair. A tunnel opens up and Tawny Owl zooms through allowing the others to climb onto the roof where a hatch opens. Rex jumps down and the rest grapple after him.

Tawny Owl rocket's in and drifts to a stop in the arena. Rex lands heavily as the others grapple down next to him.

"For vigilantes with a lair, your security is way too easy to breach. But you don't have to worry about it though, because I just finished patching all your security vulnerabilities. I did like your entrance though" comes a male voice from behind the computer, seemingly unfazed by their entrance. The chair slowly turns and faces the team.

"It was kinda cool" he finishes.

"Gideon!" everyone shouts.

"Geez, you don't have to yell. It's deafening"

"For the record we are not vigilantes" Silent Samurai protests, taking off his mask.

"Well the world sees it that way"

"So what made you change your mind" Zarx asks as his suit is already off.

"Let's just say I was kinda worried about Gavin and the fact that he would get seriously bored without me around, so I'm here to keep him company."

"I was doing just fine without you" Gavin snaps.

"Quit lying" the others announce in unison causing him to put on a defeated look.

"So you going to turn off the red lights or what? It's starting to give me the creeps" Gideon draws their attention.

"Alex deactivate lockdown protocol".

"That's better. By the way Zarx, don't you think your entrance security measures are too old fashioned?"

"Huh? Old fashioned?"

"Yeah. Cornea scans, finger print, facial recognitions, I mean those are all old fashioned. You are a tech genius, come up with something new and innovative"

"What other security measure can I possibly come up with"

"Ok, what about this, you know when I was younger, I always thought of making a security system that uses aura recognition. Maybe you could make something like that". He pauses for a moment and continues. "Also, do you know that everyone has unique vein structures?"

"Yeah"

"Right, so even if you are cloned, chances of having the same vein structure is very low. Veins are like unique finger prints on their own"

"How could I possibly make something like that. It sounds impossible right from the get go"

"Like I said, you are a tech genius. You would definitely figure something out, and don't worry about the coding part. I would stick around for a while, so what do you say?"

"Well, I think I would give it a shot" Zarx says.

Ace drops into a sofa opposite Gideon. "I'm hella tired" he mentions.

"Today was crazy" Gavin announces as he steps out of his dressing room.

"We took five warehouses out in one night, how cool is that" Ace yells with enthusiasm

"That's just crazy but cool at the same time" Gavin replies with a smile.

"Bring it down guys, let's not get too excited. This is just the beginning. There's still a lot of ground to cover. Moreover, we have no idea who or what we have just agitated with our little theatrics. We have to be on guard at all times…" Zarx says

"Yo you guys are all over the news" Gideon cuts in pulling up a video.

"We are always in the news" Gavin informs him.

"Yeah, I know but today's is different. Not only are you over the news but you're are trending #1 across the entire internet. If you were trying to send a message, then I guess the message you were trying to put across has been delivered"

"#1 across the internet? That's new. Anyhow, it looks like things are going to escalate from this point on".

"Who's ready for some fun…" Gavin exclaims.

"Sorry guys, but I gotta go. I've got an assignment to finish" Shiro cuts in.

"What assignment?" Gavin questions.

"History"

"Aww, crap"

"You didn't do yours, did you?"

"No, I totally forgot. Why do we have to do assignments any ways? That's just boring"

"Gavin, you are coming with me"

"No I'm not. We just finished a crazy mission and were about to have some fun and you had to ruin it. Can't we just have fun and do the assignment later?"

"Have you got a short term memory or something? It's already 8:30 pm and submission deadline is 10"

"Wait did you just say it's 8:30 pm" Gideon asks.

"Yeah, why?"

"Oh no, I'm so dead."

"You got an assignment too?" Ace asks.

"Yeah, computer programming. Deadline's 9:15 pm"

"O… k…" Ace says.

"Gavin quit nagging and let's go" Gideon says grabbing his ear. Shiro grabs the other as they drag him out.

"See you guys later" Gideon shouts as they enter the elevator.

"Alright see you" they reply.

"So what now?" Zarx asks.

"Dunno maybe…" Ace pauses as his phone vibrates. He checks it. "It's dad. He's waiting for me. We are going to uncle Liam's. Be back by noon tomorrow. I guess I would see you guys later then"

"Okay and my regards to him" Melanie says.

"Okay".

"See you around man" Zarx mentions as they fist bump.

"Aight"

He turns around and leaves. The two sit without a word, only peeking at each other with smiles. Zarx breaks the silence saying "I guess it's about time we hit the streets as well"

"Yeah" They mount the bike and speed off. All lights go out as they exit.

C.C.P.D.

9:00 PM

The guards at the door salute as the Commissioner Inspector enters the large surveillance room to do his daily routine checkup.

"Welcome Commissioner Inspector Ethan. We are glad to have you"

"Thank you major Jong-Yul"

"Do we have eyes everywhere?"

"Yes sir"

"Okay carry on"

"Yes sir".

Major Jong-Yul stands in the middle of the room and announces "Alright people, there's been a lot of ruckus all over the city lately and we need every bit of information we can get our hands on"

A hologram appears near him. Five people looking up with light shining down on them. He continues "Nobody knows who these people are but apparently they are the cause of these commotions. They've caused lots of damages to state properties and recently attacked the police. Just this evening. A clear sign they are not ready to ally with the police. They appear to be some sort of order. A Dark Order, a Black Order, a Sword Order, a Black Sword Order, I don't know you name it. We've got 48 hours to identify this order and bring them in."

"Sections one to three pull up all images we have of them so far and cross reference them with all social media images and videos, school id images. They should be within the ages of 16-30. As we cant identify them by face, focus more on their height and body mass."

"Drone surveillance, we need more eyes within a 10-mile radius. Cover all blind spots and look for possible hideouts, like abandoned buildings and structures, caves etcetera. The Black Sword Order is new in the city. They couldn't have set up a new base within this short time span. They are probably using old and abandoned buildings for the time being."

"The rest look out for any out of the blue activities within this radius. We need to cover enough ground as soon as possible. Get to work".

Everyone begins to type a thing or to and some are issuing commands over comms.

"The boss never misses when it comes to naming" a man in section one whispers to another. "Remember Blue Field Gang?". The two giggle.
