Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 19: Preventing the Godkiller
Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/18/2016
As the prayer ends the first time, Beirus suddenly speaks up. "
No! Don't stop yet! Think about it, there's something out there that wants to kill our God, that wants to remove our spirit! We. Must. Not. Allow. That.". At this, the rest of the Church bow their heads in Prayer again. [10+2] Leading the Prayer, Beirus, with the rest of the Church, say, "
Dearly Father, we pray for assistance. We know, no matter what religion, creed, or lifestyle, you love us all. We as people love you as well. Dearly Father, we pray for assistance, for guidance in the dark time that threatens your very existence, threatens your omnipotence and holiness. We ask for this in Jesus' name. Amen.". With that, not only does God send down 3 Archangels, but He sends them right to the source. Sleepy Crater, Afghanistan...
"
Does every soldier fight for the same cause? I leave you to ruminate on that.". At that, TCM signals for his guard to bring the Reporter out of the Parliament. At this, the Reporter suddenly gasps, his irises suddenly becoming Blue. "W-what are you doing? I'm doing a Column, hey!". As he gets lead out, TCM stands, before Beirus turns up and explains the situation. At this, the two of them go back to the table to speak to Pope Angelus and Imam Imara, using Soccer metaphors. Specifically, the idea that the Wiki-Warriors are on the other team. [7+3+1] This works so well, that the talks are over in a good way. Without TCM even needing to ask for a Holy War, Pope Angelus agrees to send the combat advantage, and Imam Imara the tactical advantage. Pope Angelus calls for his Battle Bishops, the Cardinals, of which Brother Aswell is a part of. They shall arrive at Parliament at [2] Late Morning (around 10:30-11:30 AM). Meanwhile, Imam Imara will supply Muslims who work for him to spy on the proceedings. When TCM attempts to say that isn't necessary, one of his R.I.S.E. Drone operators arrives to tell him that said Drone is down at the moment. At that, TCM simply nods his head, and thanks the two, before saying that they can stay until their plane arrives back. He then decides to tell them about the interference. "
Actually, it's a good thing the Religious Tolerance talks have allowed you to help us. We're in need of it. See, Brother Beirus has told me that one of the Wiki-Warriors, not sure who, is doing something that is blocking God's outward presence. Just thought you should know." At this, the Pope and Imam nod, and sit back down to eat. TCM drinks more Rwandan Flower Wine, before calling over the Drone Operator, not the supernatural Operator, to ask, "
Quick question, did we supply Flashbangs to the Elite Force?" [1] " The Drone Operator shakes his head, saying, "Sir, we did not give them Flashbangs. We didn't get them anything other than their pistols, their knives, and some kevlar vests. That's it." At this, the King frowns.
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016
While not knowing everything, per se, BiggerFish decides to put what he knows into the interview. "
Jess and Jaws are...the faces. Sure they put it together, but who do you think gave them the power to do so? The Operator of course. He can be anyone through possession, and I don't even know if he has his own body. Anything else you need to know?". To which Abigail responds with, "He can be anyone? Th-that sounds horrible!
I'm not stopping until I finish what I want to do.". BiggerFish looks shocked at Abigail, who's eyes turn from Brown to Purple, then Brown again. When Abigail comes back, she doubles over, vomiting. She then frantically writes in the notebook she had, pointing to it, before vomiting again. BiggerFish hesitates to pick up the book, before stopping to figure out what just happened.
Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016
While Adam is busy getting the Bandages and Ointment, NRDL decides, for fun, to see how fast he can go while playing guitar. [4+2] Tapping into the SpeedForce, NRDL suddenly lets loose an epic sounding guitar riff, super speeding it. A string breaks, but he can get it fixed later. Adam then comes back in with the Medical Supplies, and begins applying them. While doing so, he asks, "Say, is there anything you need to know? I sort of work for this...place, we specialize in information. No charge.". NRDL considers the request, looking around the room, before responding...
Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016
After considering the offer, PirateJoe agrees to the job, asking, "
Alright, I'll do it. What does she look like, and where do you live?[/color]". After giving Joe the address and Larisa's appearance, PirateJoe thanks them and returns to his car, driving to the house. [2] When he drives by the house, he sees what looks like Larisa. She has black hair, green eyes, and is wearing a purple dress. She enters the family's car and drives off, PirateJoe following her. [9] He successfully tails her, and Larisa parks in the parking lot of an abandoned mall on the outskirts of Moscow, she walks in, not spotting the leather clad PirateJoe getting out of his car. He then attempts to sneak around into the building. [5] He manages to sneak behind the building, but he finds the door is locked. He attempts to think of some options to get inside. [1] Not only does he not find anything he can use to open the door, but the door opens anyway...to a teenager with an obvious pistol in his hand, who walks out, only to see PirateJoe. "Who are you?" He asks, PirateJoe trying to think of something.
Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016
((Idle)) Ardent simply sits there, coming up with plans. While he does seem deep in thought, he's also unfocused.
Hawk attempts to complete his book, when 3 people in robes show up, all 3 having swords with crosses for hilts attached to a sheath. One of them, a bald man with a lean physique, says, "
Hello, sinner. You wish to destroy the God of the people of the world? Well, that cannot happen. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Josiah, named after the man in the Bible. These two are also named after people in the Bible. Meet Job and Esther.". At this, he gestures to the man and woman next to him. "
We are here to end your little operation. We were sent by God, under request by Brother Beirus, to stop this madness.", Josiah says, pulling his sword out. Hawk stares at this for a few seconds before he rises to his feet, his RPD already in his hands with the safety off. He then speaks up, saying, "
Yeah, I know what's going on. God's losing his Earthly manifestation. Wanna know how I know that? It was in the pages I already wrote. Your bodies are mortal, even if your souls are not. I know for a fact that getting shot REALLY hurts. Try me.". Scoffing a bit, Josiah steps forward. [8 v 7] The Archangel suddenly gets a bullet through the arm, and hey, Hawk was right, it did hurt him. He then loads a Grenade into his China Lake, and getting savvy about it, runs out of the building, the 3 chasing after him.
The Elite Force, scattered enough already, scatters again, 9 of them going back to the injured. [5] The 2 survivors of the attack are stable, but the Drone is still damaged.
The other 9 continue looking for Hawk. [4] They check the building Hawk was in, the gunshot and the muzzle flash being a dead giveaway, but when they get there, all they see is the bullet casing. They decide to hide in the building for an ambush, making sure that wherever Hawk is, he doesn't see them. [7] They do, however, find the first few pages of No Gods, No Kings, Only Man. After taking care of the pages...by cooking them in an oven in the house, they continue waiting for the ambush.
The 3 Archangels chase after Hawk, managing to stop the Novelist at a part in the Forest. After whispering to eachother, Josiah steps forward, sword at the ready. [3 v 5] Hawk simply steps out of the way, before they stare eachother down.
