HARRISON'S OFFICE
5:40 AM
Behind the large ballistic door, Mr Wells is sitting behind a computer going through some files. The entire room goes berserk with flashing red lights and a large hologram projection in the middle of the room displaying a large red warning sign.
"Camcot Level 6 proximity breach" A voice announces repeatedly throughout the tower. He presses a button on the table and a seatbelt straps him into the chair as the floor slides open and descends into a surveillance room.
"Alex, what's going on?" he questions as he exits the chair
"Humanoid entities are moving rapidly towards shore. They just breached Camcot Level 5 and are closing in on Level 4"
"Show me"
A feed is displayed on the screen. In the depths of the ocean, androids march on like an army ready to besiege the city. They walk on the ocean floor quickly towards the shore.
"Enhance. What in the hell!" he exclaims "Send a message to Zarx, I would make some calls" he adds
"Yes boss"
LYNCH TOWER
5:45 AM
A purple streak drops from the sixth floor down to the ground floor sending a mild tremor around. It is none other than Rex. Several henchmen and androids lay motionless on the floor with a few androids twitching. The entire place looks like a garbage dump due to the many android parts shattered to pieces around. The others join him on the ground floor as well.
"Mission Complete. Now let's return to base before the cops start pouring in"
"That's not happening boss" Gideon's voice booms through their comms.
"What do you mean that's not happening?" Rex questions
"I don't know how best to describe it. Some kind of sea people are emerging from the ocean"
"Sea people?" Death Stalker cuts in. "Like Atlan..."
"Look, just see it yourselves". Rex opens his hand and a hologram is displayed. The others come closer.
"What on earth are those?" Silent Samurai asks.
"Oh my God, those were the androids that attacked me. They are way tougher than the ones we just destroyed" Hammer Fist announces.
"And now an army of those is entering the city? This is insane. Just who is eager to destroy this city"
"Looks like someone just declared war on Camcot" Death Stalker affirms.
"Gideon, alert Mr Kemper. We would need his help with this one. Also, send a message to one Major Jong-Yul, you will find his contact details on the computer. Ask him to evacuate the city. We don't know when this will end" Rex orders
"Okay boss"
"But how do you know the major" Silent Samurai enquires.
"I don't, it was from his file that Alex found the information concerning Ace's incident so I figured he would be after the same guys as us. Let's just hope he answers our call. Let's go" They quickly run out of the tower.
"It looks like they are spreading through the city" Gideon informs.
"We need to split as well. Hammer Fist and Silent Samurai you go east, Tawny Owl and Death Stalker you go north, I will go west"
"But Tawny Owl isn't here" Death Stalker reminds.
"Oh...forgot, then you go alone. I will join you later on"
"Roger"
"Let's move"
They all move in their respective directions. Hammer Fist and Silent Samurai race through the street and then climb atop buildings to avoid the traffic heading towards them. Death Stalker goes through an alley and disappears out of sight.
C.C.P.D.
5:50 AM
The entire precinct is very noisy with officers going back and forth and calls are also flooding in every second. Major Jong-Yul comes out of his office due to the ruckus. Trudy meets him.
"Trudy, what's going on? Why all this ruckus?"
"Sir, I'm not sure of what's going on but every single person calling 151 is saying something about some sort of robots attacking people".
The conversation is interrupted by a call. "Let me get this" he says and walks a few paces away. "Jong-Yul here"
"Hello major, I'm an ally and I'm calling to inform you to evacuate the city immediately"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Major, there are androids entering the city if you don't evacuate in the next half hour, lots of people are going to die…"
"Major, you should see this" announces an officer who comes running out of the surveillance room. Major Jong-Yul rushes in with Trudy right behind him. He walks towards a screen and stands watching in awe.
"Hello, major are you there?" comes a voice from the phone.
"Black Sword Order". He says and puts the phone on a scanner.
"Trace that call for me, that's a member of the Black Sword Order. Also, order a city-wide evacuation and dispatch the R.A.N.G.E.R.S to those locations." He orders and walks out with Trudy behind.
"How do you know sir?" Trudy asks.
"That?"
"That the caller is a member of the Black Sword Order?"
"Because they are the only ones who would know of the situation at hand first before any other person in this city does. Get to the car, I would meet you there"
"Yes sir" she affirms making her way to the garage.
S.S.H.Q.
Mr Kemper runs down the many stairs to the ground floor, picks up his radio and begins to speak into it. "Leah, get to the control room and have them scramble 3 jets and 5 choppers to the coast to neutralize the enemy, we are under attack"
"Roger that sir" comes Leah's soft voice through the radio.
He goes to the assembly point where all the soldiers around are gathered and begins to speak upon arrival.
"Intel just came in that there is an army of androids heading into the city. They are already causing havoc…". The sound of choppers taking off overshadows his voice. "…we need to move and fast". he says pressing a button on his wristwatch. The panels on the front part of the walls surrounding the headquarters pop open revealing shelves of a vast range of arsenal.
"Take all you can carry. Squad A and B, come with me. The rest I would radio your various locations" he says walking towards an SUV with weapons mounted on top of it. Leah sits with him at the front. He drives off and 5 other trucks follow as well.
