The Third War
Zure
Chapter 1
Los Alamos and a Divine Blade
Ralph stood up wand at the ready facing Ragnors. Ragnors had been his teacher for 7 years now. He had trained him since he was 13 and first joined the brotherhood. The centaur Said "Go!" Expelliarmus "!" cried Ralph as he did a jet of red light flew out of his wand toward the centaur whos rifle flew out of his hand and hit the ground a few feet away. "Excellent Ralph excellent but remember none of your enemies are gonna stand still as I did." Ralph replied " yeah I know. The training room of requirement faded back to normal. The slightly bluish stone walls replacing the shining metal. "Well" said Ragnors "looks like you finally got the Disarming charm down after what seems like forever" "HEY!" but Ralph knew that Ragnors was just joking. "Lets conclude todays training with a little spar against the training bots Eh?" Suddenly the room changed into a maze and Ralph was alone. Ralph began to make his way through the maze the bots, designed to cast minor spells and change their appearance to look like enemies attacked rementlessly. One looked like a witch with a green pointed hat and specticles and began point its wand and Ralph but Ralph being an ever quick duelist pointed his wand and shouted "Stupefy". the Droid fell down hard. More robots came across his path and cries of "Stupefy reducto and protego eminated from Ralphs mouth as he dueled the robots. Suddenly the room dissovled. "MAY ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS PROCEED TO THE GRAND HALL, THE TIME HAS COME MY CHILDREN..." eminated Machene's voice through out Ralphs head. Ralph and Ragnors headed to the grand hall of the temple roswell. The Grand Hall had to be enchanted Ralph always thought because no matter how many people were there it always had just enough seats. Ralph sat next to a woman who had dyed her hair electric blue. "My children" called Machene from the podium. "these are interesting times, for the first time in history there is one cybermagus for every five normal wizards and witches, yet many of them do not know of what we are planning. For 10 years we have been shunned and ridiculed by those who dare pretend their supremacy" Suddenly an image of a man with red eyes and slits for nostrils and a pale white face appeared on a holoscreen and said in a hissing voice. "never say trust me to a Cybermagus!" The Grand Hall erupted with jeers and boos at the face, The blue haired woman shouted "DEATH TO THE DARK LORD!" Machene waved his hand and the croud silenced itself. " And we are oppressed by those who pretend to be champions of freedom and good." Suddenly an image of a portly british man with a pompous look on his face said" We do not seek to enslave the cybermagus population we only seek to control and maintain order."More hisses and boos erupted from the croud." They seek control, they seek to enslave us and our muggle bretheren. For the good of the world we the Brotherhood of Zure will eliminate these threats to our existance" Cheers rang across the croud as Machene spoke. " Soon my children ,breaking from our shackles, with our wings outstretched we fly to our destiny and as for the magical world the time has come to claim this world as our own! It is time to destroy the Protectorate and The Death Eaters!" Cheers rang out as flags unfurled the flags were blue with a silver crest of the Brotherhoods symbol, a trident with a gear wrapped around it. " step forth when I call your names. "Allison Jentsch!" the woman with the dyed blue hair and the purple eyes stood up and walked towards the podium and offered her hand to machene who waved his wand over She bowed to him and sat back down. "Apporros!" A centaur from the back ranks walked towards podium and took the mark. " Graptor" A small goblin walked forward to recieve his mark. " Ralph Trogen!" Ralph could hardly believe his luck he sat there " Ralph Trogen?" "go on Ralph " muttered Ragnors. Ralph walked calmly to the podium but there was no mistaking the nervousness in his posture. He reached the podium, stuck out his hand a weird feeling went through his palm neither pain nor pleasure but something in between and suddenly A symbol of a Trident with a gear wrapped around it was on his palm. He bowed and went back to his seat. " The Marked will remain here everyone else will prepare for our destiny is at hand!" Everyone else left the the room leaving the four marked alone with Machene. "My friends there are a great many Cybermaguses and various magical creatures who still do not know what we are about to do and a great many who believe that the Protectorate is invincible. We must prove that our enemies are not all powerful but first we must acquire a devine blade of judgement to wield against our Protectorate foes. Luckily the Muggles at Los Alamos have developed just what we need. An ICBM that has the power to strike our foes when and where they are most vulnerable." " The Reyjavik Confrerence." said Allison. "yes my dear Reyjavik. That fool Fudge is making his way there. The ICBM is a classified first strike Stealth missile that unbeknownst to the muggles has the power to break through magical protections. Our spys at Los Alamos have confirmed the mobile launchers position, and we have aquired a black market nuclear weapon that we will load into the missile and target Reyjavik with." " The perfect weapon, one the Protectorate will never see coming!" said Allison."yes they have underestimated the power of their muggle counterparts and today they will pay the price as will the Death Eaters in time. You have been selected for the honor of capturing Los Alamos and the missile. Do not mar our Brotherhoods name. Allison here will be in charge. Go now and may the devine power of the Cybermagi guide you." A Crono portal opened up next to Machene. The Four walked through it, Ralph felt that usual feeling of being in many pieces yet whole as well for a minute before they emerged in a forest near Los Alamos. " Now" Said Allison as they approached the base. "let me assess their weaknesses." "Mind link Active" Said a computerized voice in their heads. " Do not be alarmed it is only the BSC or Battle Strategy Computer. It is designed to help you plan your attack and advice you in battle" Allison said. "Right you are I am detecting minimal guard activity at the western entrance. This is the optimal entry point to the base. The missile and its launcher are located at the Eastern complex at the far side of the base. There are two guards at the entrance take them out quickly and quietly and you should be able to enter." said the computerized voice. "I will stun the guards " Said Apporos Taking out his rifle and loading some darts into it " you three go ahead. The trio left towards the gate. "excuse me this is Government property you are advised to leave at on-What is that thing next to you are you from the circus " the Guard on the left said pointing at Graptor. "Sorry were on a sight seeing tour that supercedes your protocols." Graptor said the goblin pointing his wand at the guard. "Stupefy!" The guard on the left hit the ground knocked out The other one reached for his handgun but suddenly toppled, he was hit in the neck with a dart. "Nice shot Apporos" Radioed Ralph with his mindlink. " Ill stay here you go on to the missile" said Apporos "Im too easily Reconizable. That polyjuice I gave Graptor should give him one hour as a guard. You have that much time to find the missile and get out." "Right" Said Allison "but first lets change the decour." pointing her wand at the U.S Flag she said in a quiet voice "Flaresta" the flag turned into a brotherhood flag. "Now for the fun part. " said Ralph as the two walked in . Suddenly Allison took ralph and held him against a wall. " well noob she said can you reprogram those turrets or will it be too much trouble." she said looking at the gattling guns next to the door leading to the tram. Ralph concentrated and found the computer mainframe controlling the turrets using his mind link. " I think I can program the turrets around this base to fire randomly into the air that should distract the muggles long enough to take the missile and get out. " Ralph said smiling. He used his mind link to hack the Bases computer defence mainframe and suddenly the turrets started shooting everything in sight. The two started running towards their goal, stunning all in their path. Allison took out an obliviate charge and threw it at a guard tower that was shooting at them the memory spell within detonating and wiping the guards mind. Soon all in their path were either stunned or trying to deal with the haywire turrets. The two made their way towards the missile its black sheen inspired awe in them. Allison shouted "Chonostra" suddenly a crono portal opened, Ralph used his mind to control the vehicle driving it through the portal. "We have the missile return to base!" said Allison
over the mind link. " got it!" Ralph heard both Graptor and Apporos through the mind link as he walked through the portal. They were at the Roswell temple steps. They had their prize.
2 hours later.
"Excellent!" Machene said. " Ralph, Allison spoke highly of your hacking skills. She also told me that she wants you to be a permenent member of my elite Hand of Atlantis. Watch as the fruit of your labor strikes our foes!" suddenly an image formed on the holoscreen, a picture from the view of the missile. "five!" said a voice on an intercom" four, three, two, one, LAUNCH!" The missile took off towards its target, passing through the stratosphere the group looked in awe. " leave me I must make my message to the world."
Ralph saw the missile view in his mind. Suddenly he switched to the satellite view over Reykjavik the missile had hit its target. The war had begun...
