A heavily armoured guard stood in the middle of the main outdoors area of the naval platform, holding a large rifle and equipped with an earpiece and shiny white armour. The naval platform he was stationed at was property of the Enforcers and was being used as their HQ on the water, in the middle of the ocean with not a speck of land to see. The area the guard had been assigned to by Daryl and the four generals was a large open area of the platform. It was basically a huge, flat, metal surface at the front of the incredibly enormous base that was a place for choppers to land or drop cargo, which would then be transported through the thick steel doors and into the facility by jeep. This part of the platform was extremely spacious, designed to be a perfect place to hold out against an enemy attack with room to run around and deployable cover scattered across.

The guard looked up into the sky when he heard the sound of airship engines, his partner coming over to investigate as well. Up in the air just off the edge of the platform were three military grade airships, all hovering in flight just a few metres above the metal surface of the base. Figures could be seen in the passengers section of the flying vehicles, but the airships were at such an angle that the identity of the people inside couldn't be confirmed. "Is that one of ours?" The second guard asked the first, holding his rifle low.

"I don't think so, look at the markings." The other guard responded, pointing up to the decorations on the airship, markings neither of them recognised. Suddenly remembering their job, the two guards held up their guns and aimed the barrels are the airships threateningly. "Identify yourself! Land and come out with your hands up!" The first guard commanded.

Right on cue, the group of people jumped from their airships, instead of landing first. They landed on the rusty steel platform with a clunk of boots on metal, then raised their hands and looked upon the soldiers. Connor, Mars, Jim and Kane were in the front, followed up by Damien, Yang, Stephane and Irileth. All eight of them had their weapons in their hands, confusing the guards so much they didn't know what they should do.

Without a single word, Connor then rushed forward, holding his katana at his side as he did so. Then posing dramatically behind the two soldiers, one of them spurted blood from their torso and fell to the ground.

Before the other guard could open fire, Kane rushed forward and hit him in the head with one of his scythes. The blade buried deep into the man's face, killing him instantly. The group had felt negligent to kill people on the journey, but Damien had convinced them otherwise, telling them everyone involved was loyal to Daryl and his ways.

The moment the second guards body hit the floor, alarms blared all across the naval base. The group had been prepared for this, knowing there were surveillance cameras everywhere and that the only way was to forcefully break through their ranks. They were ready for a war and that was what came towards them. Armed soldiers in shiny white power armour spilled out of the main door, it sealing shut behind them as they took their positions behind cover which sprung up from the floor, their guns aimed at the group.

Mars was the first to go, the one to start the assault. He bravely took a step forward and punched his fist into the air in front of him, sending a shockwave of destructive green energy into the ranks of the soldiers, effectively scattering them. The small army opened fire, creating a storm of deadly lead bullets. Unfortunately for them, the agility of hunters and huntresses isn't even matched by bullets. Using their aura to propel them around the platform, the attack force lead by Damien dodged the rifle fire, getting closer to the soldiers every second.

Once in range, which for him was further than the others thanks to his fighting style, Jim launched his boomerangs on strings towards the enemy as he guided them by holding the strings in his hands. The flying bladed boomerangs knocked down many soldiers as they travelled through the air in arcs, some of them sticking in the heads of select individuals and firing off shotgun rounds as they were pulled out.

Creating a sword and shield out of his green energy semblance, Mars was the first to run head first into the crowd of heavily armed soldiers. He moved expertly, slashing at the enemies around him and blocking their shots with his shield, creating an energy barrier when he couldn't turn fast enough. Damien followed him into the fray, cutting up those who challenged him with his katana blades, whilst firing off rounds from the flintlock pistols they were attached to, one round after another.

Connor and Kane were the next to enter the main stage of the battlefield, slaying attackers left and right as they stood back to back with each other. It didn't take long for the soldiers to realise they were wasting ammo and switch to their swords, which were crafted from moon white metal. The team felt the pressure rise instantly, while they could easily dodge bullets with a little help from their aura, swords were a little trickier. Close combat was a lot riskier, they didn't expect it would be easy to get through without any injuries.

Shooting forward with the help of her semblance, Yang began firing shotgun shells into the army. Once they closed the distance to her, she switched her gauntlets to close combat mode and for a while enjoyed smashing the soldiers with her fists of flame and fury. She was too agile and quick for the soldiers to land a hit, allowing her to keep a ring of space around her as she fought off her attackers.

Dashing past Yang went Irileth, who proceeded to enthusiastically twirl her energy whips around around herself, knocking back any enemies who got too close with a shock of purple energy. Stephane was hot on her heels, the last in the group to join the fight but by no means the least confident. He blocked the attacks of the enemy blades with his great-shield and then slashed them in half with his cleaver like sword.

The enemy numbers quickly fell, but reinforcements kept coming. The team needed a way to permanently cut down their numbers and fast. Knowing this, Connor held his katana tightly in both of his hands and began to pump his aura into it. As it began to glow with golden light, he slashed it from right to left, sending a wave of brilliant golden energy that broke the crowd of soldiers.

Kane caught on quick and followed suite, putting both his hands down on the ground and summoning up tendrils of dark clouds all around the battlefield. The destructive clouds smashed into the ground all over, knocking over some soldiers like bowling pins and completely crushing others. Mars saw what the other two were doing and decided to join in, blasting green energy out of his fists in a marvellous display.

Suddenly a jeep broke through the ranks of the downed soldiers, headed straight for the team at top speed. Jim stepped out in front to intercept it, the driver smirking as if he's just read a good joke. He wasn't smiling however when Jim grabbed the bumper of the jeep right as it was about to hit him and, summoning all the strength of his semblance, threw it over his shoulder and into the wall behind them. The jeep exploded violently, killing the driver and the soldiers around it.

The fighting didn't last much longer after that, the combined semblances of Team Kalos and company were too fearsome. In just a mere five minutes, the entirety of the bases military force had been wiped out, the group standing in the middle of the platform surrounded by dead bodies. "Well that didn't take too long..." Connor chuckled, surprised that no one had been hurt in the massacre.

"That was the easy part..." Damien responded forebodingly as the thick steel doors of the main base began to slide open once again. This time, instead of an army, there came just four. Just four individual with a mission to take down the fools who had dared attack their naval base.

Daryl's four generals.
