"We are going to war! The tyrannical Vexical Empire has fractured! Giving us an opportunity to free its people from their nobles' tyrannical rule. As well as expel the evil aliens that have infected there-" General Kyln stopped mid-sentence with his eyes going wide.
"What's he doing?" One of the politicians mumbled as General Kyln stayed silent for a minute.
Then General Kyln's body split in half. It started at the head as his face split down the middle with a gush of blood spewing out. Then the rest of his body slipped into two halves and fell to the sides. The meeting room went quiet before there was shimmer before Nila's invisibility disabled and then she dashed to the side and beheaded another of the military generals that were on the stage.
"Shit! We need to-"
Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Jace opened the door and began firing into the room. The prince's personal guard was the first target and collapsed to the ground with a hole going through his neck. He was not dead yet but he was choking as he struggled to breath. The rest of the guards in the room were not as lucky. They were not wearing armor or helmets so their heads just exploded in blood and brains. Covering a number of the people in red and pieces of brains.
Jace kicked the door closed as he looked at them and disabled his invisibility. He could see the first prince see him and recognize him. "Shit… They sent a Spectre."
"Look your leaders need us alive because-"
Bang!
As soon as he started speaking, Jace turned his rifle and fired at him. Killing him instantly and leaving the wall with an additional amount of blood and guts. Jace then turned and watched the screen as another person was lifted into the air while screaming by Vana who was invisible and then torn in half.
Jace activated the Hollows. They broke through their containers and came out of their hiding spots. Causing the crowd to roar and panic as they moved toward the soldiers in the parade who were already firing up at Vana and Nila who were up on the stage. The Hollows and the others began firing on the soldiers and explosions rocked through the plaza where the parade was supposed to begin as hidden explosives were detonated.
Jace focused back on the room before him. After a moment of consideration he unloaded his assault rifle. The room's walls and table were covered in blood and guts as most of the people in the room died.
The only one to avoid immediate death was the prince who closed his eyes as he thought he was about to die. Along with one of the politicians who dived under the table. The prince was covered in blood and guts as he blinked his eyes and opened them up.
"I suppose there is a reason that I am still alive?" The Prince asked.
Jace was about to answer but could hear running. So he turned his gun to the door and fired as a pair of guards arrived and were turned into pieces of blood and guts that covered the floor and ground. A few smoking holes in the door and wall on the other side where the bullets went through as well.
Jace turned back to the prince and walked up to him while nonchalantly firing at the table killing the politician that hid under the table. Jace then put the rifle on his back as his other hand grabbed the prince by the throat and slammed him into the wall.
A spiderweb of cracks spread on the wall as the prince grunted in pain and grabbed at the hand holding him by the throat. "I know I really should not be saying this, but it might…kohff… be best to use your words."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Jace asked as he looked down at the prince's bodyguard he nudged the body with his foot and saw the emblem on his shoulder. He was a commando form Kamot, one of the bits of information from MILD mentioned that the Kamot Commandos had disappeared. So the fact that he was with the prince could be painting a whole different picture.
The Kamot Commandos could be defectors. Which compromises a whole lot of information since they fall under special operations officers. Which would also mean that Jace would have to bring the prince in alive to get all the information he can out of him. But first there was something else he wanted to know.
"Where are the family registries that you stole?" Jace demanded as he looked back at the prince.
The prince winced and then frowned before he grinned. "You need information from me. Well then I have terms. I was thinking of a nice prison cell with-" He was cut off as Jace pulled him forward and slammed him into the wall again this time a lot harder. But not enough to kill him, but enough to knock him out.
Jace then turned and tossed his body on the table as he watched his Hollows and the rest of his squad retreat into the founding building and begin to set up for cover. "Asana, send a message to command. Inform them we have Prince Cassius captured in addition to our primary mission objective. Also make sure the fact that he had a Kamot Commando guarding him gets back to them as well."
"Understood. Are we coming to you guys or…" Asana asked.
"Negative." Jace answered as he moved around and grabbed the prince and put him in a rolling chair near the door. He then began rolling him out of the room. "We are going to set up in the founding building. It is still connected to their secure military and government network. We are going to collect as much information as we can before someone figures out to lock us out of the greater system."
"Understood, standing by." Asana sounded annoyed as she responded.
"Hey, Jace, are you going to trigger the bombs? Someone is climbing into the Titan-Class mech." Vana pointed out as they began barricading the doors.
"Oh… I forgot about those." Jace genuinely did forget about them. So a moment later he sent out the activation code and there was an explosion that shook the building. Then a moment later there was another explosion that shook the ground. "What was that?" Jace asked.
"Secondary explosion coming from the ship. Looks like the fuel source they were using was detonated. That is going to burn for days." Josef explained. "Nothing for us to worry about."
Jace pushed the unconscious prince through the open secure doors and towards the elevator.
