Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 18: No Gods or Kings, Only Man
Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

Dust kicked up off the ground as Ardent Debater, mind as fresh as it ever was, rose to the call of his troops. Looking around, he tried to find someone, anyone, that could be a hazard to what was left of the village which was absolutely nothing. [2] Unfortunately, anyone he could find wasn't there, having been scattered across the globe. Basher, seeing the dismay on his leader's face, tries to find evidence as to where people could have gone. [6] He spots a bullet casing in an intact house just slightly out of the way of the crater, the oddly intact corpse of DigitalDemon still inside. While it doesn't show the whereabouts of anyone, the bullet casing at least shows that one Warrior has a firearm.

Hawk, thinking quickly as the now-alone soldier named Cobra aims a gun at him, fires. [9 v 3+3] Hawk's idea was, and is simple. Use his powers in novelization to destroy the very concept of a deity, or more simply, Kill God. Despite the fact he hadn't done it yet, the Smiting hadn't killed anyone, and Cobra had just been shot 10 times by an LMG, his form collapsing to the ground. His thoughts wandered, and he still didn't know what happened, or even how said thing happened. At this, Hawk fires a Grenade at the Elite Force to cover his escape. [10 v 4] The Grenade hits one man, who explodes into Blood and Gore, and two others are wounded. The R.I.S.E. Drone also sustains heavy damage, falling to the ground. Hawk then runs into a house in order to write his newest book, "No Gods, No Kings, Only Man". [3+1] He manages around 15-20 pages, before stopping. He doesn't know why he stopped, but he's eager to continue.

?
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

With pain seemingly consuming NRDL, only one thought crossed his mind. "Why am I not dead?". While he didn't have an exact answer to that question, he did have an inkling to ask the man. "First of all, who are you? Second of all, where am I? Third of all, can you help me? Fourth of all, how am I not dead?", said NRDL, the pain subsiding. The Man looked up, before saying, "My name is Adam Jared. You're currently in a house near Central Asia. I can get you some bandages, and burn ointment. As to how you're not dead, I'm pretty sure they had something to do with it." At that, NRDL asked who they was, to which Adam responded by tapping the book on the coffee table, before making his leave to grab the bandages and ointment. NRDL looks on in confusion, before shrugging, dusting himself off, and then sitting on the couch to watch something on Netflix.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

Snow was still on the outskirts of the city of Moscow, to which PirateJoe was indifferent, the snow and the cold not really being a priority as he parked his car and walked into the city. For now, it was time to become a Russian Spy! [7] He looks around, and finds a couple who speaks English, who could use some help. See, they saw their daughter, Larisa Essena, doing odd things throughout the last few days. She was coming home late, wearing darker colors like Black, Purple, and Navy Blue, and spent most of her time drawing at the Kitchen Table, but she wouldn't let her parents see. They ask PirateJoe if he'd be interested, making sure to throw in that a fair bit of money would be thrown in to make it sweeter...

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

BiggerFish thinks for a second, letting his thoughts wonder, before blurting out, "Magic.". Abigail does a double take at that, before gesturing to continue, to which BiggerFish responds. "Well, we were brought to this village in Afghanistan by someone named Jaws, who was prompted to do so by this guy named Jess Warner. Some people were gearing up to fight, when this King guy came in. He was talking about peace and love, and that was cool, when I made the smart idea to call Jess and Jaws out on their bull. Within seconds, Jess had shot me, and within a minute, the two had landed their Helicopter on the roof of a building, to which they tried to kill me. I managed to take the Helicopter, snatch up the Beatles, then go back in time to save Ringo, who had been killed by Meteors. When we came back, we met this guy named the Operator, who I think is an absolutely terrible name for someone as great as he says he is. Then, we were flying, then we came here. Make sense?". Abigail ponders for a moment, before simply saying, "No, but I'll take your word for it. Now, can you explain who the Operator, Jess, and Jaws are, exactly? Specifics will be great for the column! I-if that's okay, anyway.". BiggerFish nods, before thinking of his response.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 18/7/2016.

Before doing anything, Beirus decides to figure out why nothing happened, so he prays for answers. [3] While quite vague, it does point to...interference. Trying to figure things out, Beirus comes to the conclusion that the Dark Magic that caused the games is, in some way, causing interference in the way God's power is manifesting on the Mortal Earth. Before he can figure out where the interference is coming from, or even how to stop it, he remembers the Religious Leaders in the next room, and decides to continue the metaphors. [4+3+1=8] Pope Angelus and Imam Imara are quite pleased to hear how they can set about Religious Tolerance, and Aswell gives another thumbs up. Beirus walks back into the Holy Room, and brings the people together to pray, this time for something that can stop this "Interference". [1+2] Unfortunately, it appears that even with good intentions, whatever's happening is making it difficult to contact.

TCM thinks for a moment, the Operator providing the last question seemingly not fazing him, before he gives his response. "First off, the games are being run by a privatized corporation, who are doing these games for sport. Secondly, the competitors are volunteers. They claim to be fighting for themselves, but they are really fighting for the Wiki-Warfare Corporation. And for those last two...how, exactly, do you run a game with no competitors?" At this, the person writing the article looks up, his irises dark purple, before laughing in a voice that sounds deep, and yet is echoing as if millions were speaking. He then speaks, saying, "Oh, well done. When this guy comes back, he'll type that up. In the meanwhile, I'm sure the next question he'd ask, at least for clarity's sake, is if you were a competitor yourself? I mean, you said they work for Ol' Jessie, so...yeah.". At that, TCM frowns, before perking up a bit, thinking of his response...


The Elite Force, reeling after the blast, assign around 18 of them to help out Cobra, the two survivors, and the R.I.S.E. Drone. [1+3] They manage to stabilize Cobra, but the Drone and the Survivors will need to be worked on. At this, the remaining 20 go out to look for Hawk. [6] They manage to find a cluster of houses, but it will take of time to look for Hawk.

Ask what Larisa looks like and where they live, then get up to some detective work and try to find out what she's doing.

The Operator does all the things.

Well maybe Jess does things but the Operator is the guy you run into if you try Time Shenanigans.  Also he is anyone."

Load in a new grenade. Continue writing and keep away from windows. If the Elite Force realizes my location while still a fair distance away from me, commence grenade barrage. If they enter the building I'm in, be ready with the RPD. If I see a flashbang getting thrown in, turn away from it and cover my ears.

"Does every soldier fight for the same cause? I leave you to ruminate on that."

The King has his bodyguards escort the "reporter" out.

Meanwhile, he talks to the Pope and the Imam separately and asks if they would be willing to call a Crusade and a Jihad against the Wiki-Warriors respectively. Reveal that after discussion with Brother Beirus, it appears that one and possibly more of the Wiki-Warriors is now harnessing Demonic Satanic powers that are actively interfering in God's connection with Earth.

Have the 18-man squad split into 2 9-man divisions, 9 will stabilize the survivors while the other 9 will work on Drone Prepare.

The 20-man assault team is continue to look for Hawk without letting him spot them. When they uncover his position, flashbang the building and then assassinate him before he can retaliate. If they are successful in this, begin the procedure in dismantling his body and destroying the pieces separately.

Continue that service. Then go help TCM convince the leaders through the use of soccer and Bobsledding metaphors, using the opposing team in those sports to represent the other Wiki Warriors, excluding TCM.

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.

Thank the man for the offer.  On to the questions:

1. I still need an exact location of where I am.  On top of that, give me a rundown of the area's political landscape, all the military bases in the area and anything else top secret that he's willing to talk about.

2. Does the area have any central telecommunications hub/building/centre?

3. What's your story, and what was the book you were talking about earlier?
