(364 days and 11:57:39 before Info Contamination.)
"Testing-testing, i here by announce a strict lockdown in the city i am sincerely apologizing for those in NYC who came by for the celebration of the newly established Gate Beam Museum."
"I the mayor of New York am here to warn my people that spotted flying Radiant Beast are nearby and jets flying at high speeds, but already deployed Knight Monarch are approaching too. Please stay at your homes and wait till this crises is over."
Meanwhile several civilians who were just about to pack out for the evacuation saw several jets blew past from the skies, creatinf gigantic sonic booms.
Several of them even began shooting plasma guns on the side of there wings aiming to the flying Radiant Beast's who were then retaliating by manipulating the wind to blow away the jets.
It was chaotic to the point were lazer beams, rockets, and winda were causing collateral damage throughout the city. Glass were getting destroyed, concrete debris flew about, and even several civilians were hit in the cross fire.
"What the hell? Radiant Beasts!? I thought they wouldnt be here."
"Thats impossible i thought no one was nearby in the day prior!"
"Were they somehow detecting something from here and approaching it?"
Multiple bystanders began contimplating on the sudden emergence of these monsters called Radiant Beasts, creatures who are the corrupted byproduct of Radiant Energy the global energy source that powers humanities tech.
In one building nearby ontop of its roof top two people were scouting about wearing blue arm bands with the Star Forge insignia, a shape of a sun with four swords of its top, bottom, left and right.
"Hey Alexia check this out i spot about five flying class radiant beasts approaching mach 3 speeds right now, i wanna ask... Can you hit em all with one throw from your spear?"
"Dude... I can do that but i aint doing it, not the time right now Brandon our current task is watch over the current situation while public security deals with this crap."
The man named Marcus Alexia explained bluntly to Brandon and looked upwards and jumped upward and used his spear to spin it and gluide him down to the open road.
"Hey! What are you doing? You cant just go anywhere man, our Chief said we must stick together."
Brandon shouted while Marcus casually waved and walked openly to go somewhere, but before he escaped the sight of Brandon he communicated with him via headset.
"I'll be going out a bit... Dont worry man just uh, just keep watching or better yet just chase them down. Go meet up with Yulian from the other side i'll catch up later."
Brandon tried to speak up but got cut off and sighed.
"That Marcus... Senior my ass."
But Brandon just shooked his head and began focusing on one of the approaching jets coming right up at the speed of sound, and with one precise jump he landed on top of one of it's wings. He lowered himself with one knee wind just blowing past him and this excited him.
Meanwhile back downwards Marcus was currently washing his hands in an alleyway bathroom after taking a piss. After that he exited out and walking in the current direction of where the current fight is taking place on his right.
After a few minutes of taking small walks, he recieved a transmission signal seeing that their Chief is calling him, he called it expecting what they will say.
"Alexia... Are you approaching your targeted spot right about now?"
"Yes Chief just about needing 500 more meters to go. Once i am there i'll send out the EMP drone nearby, which way should i fly it?"
"Good stand ready Alexia the Crucible Bastion will send out an electro magnetic amplifier... I want you to fly the drone exactly a distance of 95 meters west, and 80 meters north away from the amplifier to evenly spread the EMP burst right?"
"Got it... I'm taking notes right now. Is that it?"
"Thats all. Oh umm how about Brandon is he with you still?"
"No i asked him to chase down the Radiant Beasts in our targeted spot he will be there to delay those monsters."
"Perfect i'll signal the preperation of Yulian's part of this mission, remember our current task is protect the newly risen museum in NYC to celebrate the end of the Cyber Terrorist War."
"I know-i know, i'll call you back Chief... I wanna see stuff happening."
When the call ended Marcus charged up one of his foot on the ground and dashed forward, making a small crack on the concrete where he originally was.
Meanwhile in Yulian's position she is currently occupying the still crowded parade, evacuating people out of the current area with the support of public security.
Man... Where are those two now? Cant they understand that theres thousands here, whatever me
Yulian said in her head clearly showing a face of exaustion and frustration, while carrying a child over to find one of there parents who were finding them.
After a few minutes of rescues, she began hearing the signal alarms of the city for approaching Radiant Beasts. The feeling of the winds began to shift, she clearly felt the pressure now and slowly inhale and exhale unconsiously.
Back in the perspective of Brandon he was just behind one Radiant Beast, the Jet he was currently was just about 10 meters away... This made Brandon slightly stood up and pull out his retractable broadsword.
"Steady now... Please just dont you dare mo-"
Suddenly the jet he was on began barrel rolling trying to stay close behind the flying beasts rear side. This caused Brandon to nearly slip off but luckily grabbed its wings, although struggling as hell.
He instinctively closed his eyes and falls intentionally off the jet. He then very quickly search for a hook, and toss it to wrap around the back of the Radiant Beast.
It was rough when it worked in his favor, the monster kept swinging its body left and right aggressively... Brandon flew over the sky slightly getting nausea, it got worse even when he was getting slammed over the window pannels of nearby buildings.
Glass shattered around him, his skin scratched and even some glass shards pierced through his body. His body bled slightly but he kept pursuing them and tossed even more hooks behind the other four.
"God dammit! Get back here you stupid... agugg..."
He struggled trying to reel them back to his direction... It was stupid in his head, his grip behind the hooks slowly loosen up.
To prevent this issue he used momentum to launched himself even higher up in the sky, for a breif moment he saw the sun it was epic as hell.
"Sick... Oh!"
He couldnt even admire before falling down and when he fell due to gravity and weight, Brandon manage to pull all 5 Radiant Beasts down to him, crashing down to the road.
Meanwhile when Marcus saw the live footage from his EMP drone just nearby he got hyped as hell.
"YEA! That crazy bastard... Insane plans that somehow works, how does he do it?"
Within a hundred meters away still,Yulian manage to reach Brandon and pick his struggling body up and begin walking slowly while the jets finally began bombarding the fallen Radiant Beasts with plasma rifles.
After a few seconds of the jets marking soo many holes in those Radiant Beasts, Marcus gave a signal of backing off from the current epicenter of the EMP drone floating nearby.
When all jets flew away by now Marcus put on the code to activate the EMP detonation program and made the drone explode with high voltage electricity enhanced by the amplifier just nearby.
It obliterated those Radiant Beasts within seconds while also had miscalculation by the Chief that caused an entire kilometer of electronics shutting down.
"Ah... oh i see how it is... CHIEF!"
"YES! I SAW I HEARD... In live cameras, look Marcus i'll deal with the complaints later evening. I'll just say this that this mission was a success no casualties?"
"Correct... So are we finally going back to the Arc Bastion?"
The Chief then cleared there throat and looked slightly behind them and explained in a tensed voice.
"Listen Marcus... Y'know today is Saturday right? Originally you, Yulian, and Brandon should be shopping for food supplies for our cafeteria right?"
"Oh wait... Right now? But Chief Brandon is-"
"I know, he would be returning here while you and Yulian would continue that original plan, we will check up with Keith right back here. Cmon you two i am hungry too."
Marcus just sighed and cleared his thoughts and then hung up the headset of his, and then called out Yulian.
In the open road the trio waited for the Arc Bastion to arrive and when they heard an ever growing louder chaotic engine roaring from the skies they saw there Bastion floating and flying to the sky, the size of a city. It was insane but the trio looked at it with pride, Marcus then gently pushed Brandon off there support and let a tractor beam from the Bastion lift Brandon upwards. They then gave each other a wave of goodbye while Brandon sighed and relaxed.
When Brandon opened his eyes when he felt solid ground, he saw the Chief with appreciative eyes.
"Welcome home Brandon, sheesh... Your pretty beat up this day was pretty rough for you ey?"
Brandon then scratched the back of his hair and looked guilty infront of his Chief.
"Sorry Chief i was just not feeling it today, working for a year by now my bodies adaptation within the gravity of this job not feeling it yet."
The Chief simply smiled understandably by the exausted words coming out of Brandon's mouth. And then comforted him by patting his back and let him walk slowly with him.
"Hey now i get it your new still, and this job of ours... It's a sacrifice y'know that by now i explained it to you back then when i interviewed you, us Knight Monarchs sacrifice our blood, our bodies, and our spirit for the protection of this fragile world we call Earth."
"I remember... Dont worry i'll keep going just uhh i need rest alright?"
"Thats the spirit now go on, go visit Calvan and ask for a check up for ya. After that go get some sleep or better yet if your hungry there are still spare food out on the cafeteria."
Then the Chief walked over and greeted some other employees from Star Forge and began talking some random stuff. He truly was a chatter for being the leading Chief of Star Forge.
Brandon for a bit stretched his legs and arms before appeoaching the entrance of Dr. Calvan Carvachio's office, when he saw him he was currently on his phone strangely enough, but he was always strange.
With the sudden appearance of Brandon Dr. Carvachio stuttered slightly and slammed his phone on his desk recklessly.
"Ahh back for some more check ups mister Keith?"
Calvan spoken half hazardly while clearing his composure, while grabbing a folder and pulling a medical record with the attatched name "BRK" he flipped it for a bit then spoken again.
"Will then... Umm go ahead mister Keith stand on that scanner i'll see your current damages, i hope you didnt go too far alright?"
Brandon scoffed with a smile and complied to stand on the flat platform and then see a blue holographic scanners float over his cut skins still kinda covered with glass shards.
"Tell me doctor... Why are you soo flabbergated when i spot you on your phone... What are watching on there? C'mon doc mind if you share?"
Calvan then frowned slightly and shouted in an embarrased tone.
"NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS ALRIGHT! Damn kid..."
"Not a kid though..."
Brandon silently corrected with a small smug smile.
MEANWHILE... A few public security officers were working together with a few random Knight Monarchs cleaning up some messes nearby the museum.
Until they saw a shadow like figure just jumping all over the top of the buildings, they were obscured by there cloak but they can tell this individual is a troublemaker.
"HEY! Tell us who you are, you are openly tresspassing a restricted zone of the city. Leave now or we will force you out!"
Some police officers demanded, but the cloaked figure simply stood still for about 5 seconds before suddenly dissapearing like a bolt of lightning.
"W-what the hell! Where are they!?"
Everyone began searching frantically of where the cloaked figure was, but before they could compose themselves the figure appeared once more in the middle of there operation.
Everyone were stunlocked by the individual before them and within 0.001 micro seconds everyone felt a cold behind there spine, and they all slowly collapsed on the floor. Knocked out before any noise was even heard, not even an ambience of thought.
"So this is the place that Lord Alexandria called me upon to investigate... The establishment of this museum, it's a cancer they say."
The figure then pulled out a pistol and silently walked in the still dimmed museum and began firing shots within the confines of the museum destroying the interior within.
Noises were never heard after the cloaked figure used a barrier array to block excess noise from coming out or coming in... Silence was all you can hear, or Lock thereof.
The last thing the cloaked figure did was visiting the Confidential Private Sector within the museum, and find a bunch of photos of five individuals.
"There you are... All of you should not soppose to be here, i thought THEY buried you to the ashes of the past."
Then the figure stole all 5 photos and destroyed there name ingravings, and teleported out of the shadows.
