An Unusual Visitor

It was late. "Why do we even bother guarding this place if we're just going to blow it up tomorrow?" asked a man standing on the edge of a circular cliff. They were up in the Himalayas wrapping up another failed attack that had been tried by an enemy clan. The attack proved that others knew where they were and that it would be wise to leave this area. "It's the boss's orders. Or do you want to tell him that you're willing to put everyone at risk just because the attack failed and 50 enemy soldiers have vanished," another soldier nearby. "No sir," replied the first. They were in special armor that prevented the cold night from affecting them, but he was tired and wanted to sleep. But orders were orders. All of the sudden, something in the snow surrounding them moved. "Contact!" yelled the sergeant in charge.12 rifles were brought up into firing position, but before they could shoot something hit them and pinned their arms to their side. The man looked down and saw that it looked like spider webs. He looked back up to see a strange humanoid charging them. It was huge and had what looked like extra arms coming out of its' back. It knocked each soldier out of the way as it got closer.

"Halt!" yelled a voice from behind. The man turned to look and saw his boss and the rest of the company move up with rifles up and at the ready. The creature stopped and looked at them. Its' chest swelled and it looked like something was about to shoot out when another man came into view. "Munya, listen to our friends for one moment." A pale looking man with a large cloak stepped into the light coming from the Ordo Ferrum base. "Who are you?!" his boss yelled. "My dear man, don't you know a celebrity when you see one?" the man replied. "Wait a minute you're that guy from the show Weird World, right?" The man nodded. "Lower your weapons men!" the boss yelled. "Now, what brings you to our little corner of the world, Argost?" My friend, do you recall the deal I proposed to you a few years back." Argost asked. "Perhaps. You mean the one about revealing the existence of the cryptids and those Zintari right? The one where I become leader of the entire Ordo Ferrum organization if I follow you?" the man asked. "That's the one," said Argost. "I believe the time has finally come and so I ask are you with me?" The man's boss thought about it for a moment. Just a moment. Then he called everyone to attention, including those still struggling to get the spider web off. "Sir! General Farin and Phoenix Division reporting for duty!" the man yelled. "Excellent General. Gather your men. We're going to the summit of the Ordo Ferrum leaders." said Argost. "But sir, my division has been banned from there. What do you intend to do?" Farin asked. "I intend to make you leader of the Ordo Ferrum." Argost replied with a wicked smile.

A few hours later, in an underground meeting in Egypt.

"WE cannot go to war without a supreme leader!" "Then make me leader of Ordo Ferrum!" "No me!" "Not you insolent swine!" "The right is mine!" Several voices were arguing the yearly issue yet again. Who should lead all of Ordo Ferrum? The leaders of all the clans had come together, because the Novus Ordo had been attacking their bases once more. However each leader wanted the power for himself. The 74 leaders kept arguing for hours. Then all of a sudden armed troops rushed into the meeting room. This was a violation of the truce between the clans! "What is going on!?" yelled one of the commanders. "My dear commanders, it's finally time for a leader to emerge." said a voice coming from down the hall. In stepped Argost, flanked by Farin and Munya, and he turned to speak to the commanders. "You all have been fighting for too long. I am here to lead all of Ordo Ferrum with General Farin leading the clans into battle as Supreme Commander. You will all follow us or be dealt with." "We will never follow you. The glory of leader belongs to us-"one of the commanders said, but he never finished as all of the troops in the room started executing the commanders. "I guess I should have said all of your troops would follow us." Argost said as he stepped over the bodies and approached the wall of communication screens. He turned them all on, watching as the different clans answered his call. "My good men, greetings and bien venue. I am your leader Argost with my good General Farin here. We have just dealt with your hesitant leaders and declare that now is the time for the plan to come to fruition. Will you follow us?" he said and waited for their answer. All at once they started saying, "Sir, we will follow you! Glory to Ordo Ferrum!" As Munya send out the orders for each clan to rendezvous with the main group in Egypt, Farin turned and asked "Sir, what is our first objective?" "We will launch an attack on the Saturdays home and steal their data on every cryptid in the world. Once we have that data, we can use it to proclaim to the world the truth." he replied, smiling wickedly. "And then we begin our conquest of them and the Secret Scientists, the extermination and enslavement of all cryptids and Zintari, and the destruction of the Novus Ordo."
