An introduction to the leader of team unknown
"Good morning gentlemen, please take your seats so that we can get this meeting underway" the voice echoed across the room and everyone present took their respective seats.
"You'd better have a good reason for bringing us here Stagg" growled one of the numerous men present.
"Of course I do. This matter affects everyone present and I do believe we have allowed it to fester for too long now" said the one called Stagg.
"You're referring to team Unknown I assume" said the one female member.
"Indeed, since their arrival in Neigh York, our business has plummeted by over two hundred percent!" he yelled as he smashed his hand onto the table.
"That is correct, but none of our agents have been able to locate any of them, the royal guard can't be hired to deal with them because they have immunity granted to them by the royal sisters" explained the female.
"Well… as luck would have it, we got some solid evidence from a hacker called Granite Tulip in regards to the location of the leader" said Stagg with a grin.
"Granite Tulip? These hackers have ridiculous names, what's next: Ink Rose?" said one of the members with a laugh.
"So where is there leader?" asked the female.
"Well… he's in this room right now" said Stagg with a smirk as everyone began looking nervously around.
Stagg stood up and walked around the back of each member's chairs, he finally stopped in front of one of the newer members who was shaking like a leaf.
"Why so nervous Jason?" asked Stagg with a chuckle.
"I'm not him sir, you have to believe me!" he begged.
"Shut up! What the hell is this then?!" roared Stagg as he pinned Jason to the table and tore open his suit jacket, revealing a wire and a mic.
"I have no idea how that got there!" he screamed with fear in his eyes.
Stagg was not having any of it as he drew his pistol and put it against Jason's head.
"Any last words… leader!" he said with a mocking voice as he cocked the pistol.
BANG!
Stagg's pistol was shot out of his hand; everyone in the room turned and faced the source of the noise.
Sitting at the head of the table was a man in a simple red suit with blonde hair, golden eyes and holding a single desert eagle combat pistol.
"None of that Stagg… only I'm allowed to murder board members, your only allowed to kill good guys" said the man with a smile.
"The art of misdirection… I'm assuming Jason here is innocent then?" asked Stagg as it all sunk in.
"More or less, drugged him in the bathroom beforehand. Ink! Lock the doors and restrain everyone please!" yelled the man.
The doors leading to the room suddenly sealed shut and the members chairs activated the restraining system built into them and locked each member down around the wrists and ankles.
The only one left standing was Stagg.
"Now Mister Stagg, I'm going to shoot you three times, once in the forehead, once in the throat and once in the heart. I will then proceed to scan the eyeballs of every member here, take their finger prints and put 10 kilograms of C-4 in the middle of this table, I will then leave this room and make my way to the roof, waiting for me there is my ride out of here, I will then set off the twenty six other charges I have placed around this buildings foundations which will cause it to become nothing but rubble" said the man as he loaded a fresh clip into his pistol.
"That seems like a well thought plan, if only you had considered this!" he yelled.
Firebrand's world slowed to a snail's pace.
"Oh goodie! He's reaching for his spare pistol tucked into the back of his pants" he thought as he leapt out of his chair and got out of the way of all the board members.
Stagg had now pulled out his pistol and was aiming it at him, "Let's see how good his aiming is" he thought with a yawn as Stagg fired three rounds which moved no quicker than a walking pace.
Fire didn't let himself get to confident, he could only see them coming slowly, but he still moved just as slow and if he was hit it would still hurt like a boss.
He side stepped the first one, ducked under the second one and dive rolled over the first one, before finally snapping Stagg's wrist and disarming him.
"Arghh! How the hell did you do that?!" he screamed as he fell to his knees.
"Some say magic, others say science, I say experience!" he said with a wink as he took aim and fired three shots.
Stag's head whipped back, followed by him coughing up blood and then being knocked onto his back.
"Hmmm, a few millimeters off dead center on his forehead" noted Firebrand as he took out a finger print scanner and got to work.
Once he was finished he hopped under the desk and pulled out a box that had been there the entire time. He opened it and pulled out the bomb, placing it gently in the center of the table, he then flicked it on and gave everyone in the room a polite bow.
"You can't just leave us here!" screamed on of the board members who were struggling to escape.
"You're right… but I will!" said Fire with a chuckle as the doors opened and closed behind as he left.
"Hey you sto…" began the guard's before the fell to the floor with a single round through their eyes.
Fire made his way to the elevator and pushed the button for the top floor, he could sense an ambush waiting for him on the roof and simply grabbed out two assault rifles he had picked up and planted in the elevator for this exact purpose.
"Fire, I'm thirty seconds out from location, are you going to be all right?" asked Silver over his radio.
"I'll be fine Silver, just make sure you're there to pick me up" said Fire with a sigh as the elevator dinged and the doors opened, he raised both of his hands and walked out slowly, ten red dot sights found their way onto his chest.
"Hand's behind your head and get down on your knees" yelled one of the guards.
This mustn't register on an emotional level…
First: Dive roll to the left, use guard as human shield, draw pistol and kill closest two guards.
Second: use assault rifles to pick of another two guards.
Head guard will throw a grenade, spin kick it back at remaining guards to finish them off.
Verdict: Ten vs One, Ten dead, Me survive… I like those odds!
"Fire!" yelled the head guard but they were cut short as Fire dived to the left, putting the closest guard in a head lock, they fired upon him but the guards armor absorbed the bullets, Fire wiped out the guard's pistol and shot the two closest guards in the throats, before grabbing the assault rifles strapped to his back and riddling two other guards with bullets.
He watched as the head guard threw a grenade before leaping into the air and perfectly spin kicking it back at their feet.
"Oh shi…" was all he could say before it blew up and took them with it.
Fire didn't celebrate as he heard dozens of guards approaching from the stairs, he simply walked over to the edge of the building and drew a cigar.
"Don't move Firebrand!" yelled a random guard.
"Ok… I'll just fall!" he said as he faced them and then fell backwards over the side.
"Maybe he had a parachute?" said one of the guards as they all looked surprised.
The sound of engines made them jump as a massive VTOL jet appeared in front of them, with Firebrand standing on top of it with a smug grin.
"Or maybe I had the most advance jet in the world waiting for me?" he said with a shrug as the Silver took aim with the jets automatic mini guns.
"Nah… don't waste ammo on them Quill. Let's go home" said Fire as he hoped into the cockpit and the jet flew off.
All the guards breathed a sigh of relief, before hearing a loud explosion coming from underneath them…
