Hi guys, this is 1602jaw here. Now I'll get straight to the point, I know some of my stories like this one has a long update, and I apologize for it being too long, due to me being busy with school and graduation coming soon, so I got a solution for this.
To prevent my story taking a while to update, I am going to publish these side story, revolving around a upcoming villain name Baron D. Gave and the Blood Birds.
If anyone recognize them from their cameos in Fanfic Mayham from Total Drama Cruise, on Devianart, or the General brief mention in Total Drama Infinite, then I'm sure some of you are excited...or not, I don't know. Depending if your interested.
This is mostly to make sure you guys have something that isn't just a announcement and making sure this story isn't dead.
So yeah, this is just a side story setting up later on, so I hope you guys read it.
Walking through a dark hall, a man was holding a folder with paper and notes in it.
He was clad with a red coat and cape. He has grey hair, indicating he's old. He has an eyepatch on his left eye, a beard, and has a weird, metal attachment that covers half of his torso.
His name was Baron D. Grave. And the organization he works with is known as the Blood Bird, a universe organization that believes in preserving for their own desire and will, and rid anything they deem nothing. They are seen as authorities, but others see them as terrorists.
He headed toward a door near the right. Entering it, before the door automatically closes itself.
The room was long and tall, almost having the same height of the Empire State Building.
It was pitch dark. At the center was a long, rectangular white table.
There, about nineteen men sat from both sides.
With one exception being at the front and back.
The back has a seat save for someone, but who is not exactly known.
However, there was one seat saved for him between two men.
The men in the room were either wearing red coats, suits, or uniforms, or are wearing black suits.
Each man distinguished one another. Some were human, others were not,
Their faces were obscure by the light of the table not reaching above their body.
Because of this, it was hard for anyone to be seen. And it seems to be best too, as none who is not shown was in the front.
Way in the front.
In fact, there were no seats near it. The front was half empty except for one.
No one can't see it, but they feel it there. He is only referred to as the Third One.
Indeed, the men were both nervous, confident, and at the same time, fear.
Not for Baron. He sat there as he looked over his files, as did the rest of them.
Then the figure at the front, speaking in a breathing heavily and almost crackling voice spoke, "We can begin the session now, thanks to our dear general, Baron D. Grave arriving on time".
Most of the men in the room were generals, admirals, lieutenants, accountants, agents, saboteurs, assassins, aristocrats, politicians, prime ministers, and other higher ranks.
"Let us move to each of your progress", the Third One said.
A white light showers down onto one of the seats at the right middle. The man was wearing a red uniform, has three scars running down his face and has white hair.
"Scorn Tennick, your report on the attempt of controlling the capital nation of Marlini oil supplies. What is your progress?"
Scorn spoke, "The president of the nation has agreed with our deal, Third One. They are trading every drop of their oil in return for our metal materials to their war".
"Excellent", The light was cut off, then came shower back down onto a different seat on the front left.
This man has yellow hair and has glass eyes. He wears a black suit with a pale flower tugged on it.
"Cossient Foggon, report on your stasis on the whereabouts of agent Zindrift".
"Our search effort led to a conspiracy war between the politician's name, Teanmorreck and Vice President, Zondbond. His body was found laying at the capitol building of New Russia. We expect some sort of murder was done on him to cover up a potential sabotage on the political campaign of re-electing as senator".
"Good", the light was once again cut off and moved onto the two seat at the back left.
This man was also wearing a black suit as well. He has normal black hair and has a pale skin. Next to him was another pale man, this time wearing a red uniform and has brown hair.
"Gorvic and Syncite, report on your attempt of gaining 300,000,000,000 from the nation of Dvivia?"
Gorvic spoke, "We have made some progress, receiving the closest amount of 250,000,000 euros".
"250,000,00?" The voice tone goes from typical to their meetings into a slight confusion, which made them pause, awaiting for a response until it finally happened, "I expect our higher price would be even".
"Unfortunately sir, there was an invasion happening", Gorvic explained, "We have no idea it would occur to us that there will be an attack from Gjira".
"I expect those numbers to reach our expectations. And now you are making excuses?"
"No sir. Our weapons and artillery won't be enough to combat it".
"And yet, you decline a request for more reinforcement?"
This made Gorvic pause in silence, as did Syncite. They were both nervous, after being questioned further and further.
Even the other officers were a bit concerned and worried. Not caring for them, but what will happen next.
After a long silence, the leader speaks, "It seems to me none of you have managed to reach your progress. As a result, I have no choice, but….to seize your command of your own operation".
They sweat, they look intense, and are dripping with fear.
A fear by their own faults.
None were ready to expect. Sure, a punishment, but their leader was unpredictable. Nobody can't see it, until he strikes.
Suddenly, Syncite was buzzing uncontrollably and without knowing it, he exploded.
Blood splatter everywhere, but nobody was startled. They seem relieved, except for Gorvic who stood there in shock.
"You are fortunate that I can see through your friend's attempt of acting neutral", The Third One said, "This is an example to any spies, my friends".
The relief coming from Gorvic came to a stop when he continued, "Unfortunately, your failure to see through it lies and prevent it result in you being terminated as a higher rank. Due to this, I am releasing you from your duty. You may go now".
This saddened him. All his work and all his motivation to work for the organization was no more.
However, he is at least relieved he didn't die.
He got up and walked out, as the session continued.
"Now then, back to our discussion", The Third One move onto a different topic, "General Baron D. Grave has something to share. Baron?"
The Baron nodded, standing up as a white screen lower down until it stopped.
There, he stood beside it as the screen projected a sketch of what appear to be four stones, each being distinguished from one another.
"Gentlemen, I am here to present a new project that could benefit the organization", Baron explained, "I have done research on certain stones known as the Power Stones. Stones with great power that could give each user a power for them to use. I am requesting funds for my expedition and experiments to conduct to locate the whereabouts of the stones".
"And which stone are you researching?" One of the Generals asked, "Clearly, there are many of them".
"That's where you're wrong. I am referring to the Power Stones that are archived on Third Earth scripts. As for the stones, I am interested in looking for the War Stone".
"The War Stone?" The Third One asked.
"Yes, indeed the War Stone. A war stone capable of advancing the skill of weaponry".
"Hmm, interesting. But how will you find it?"
"That is the point, my gracious leader. In order to gain those stones, one must track down them one by one. And that is what I am trying to do. I am demanding more funds for my search for the War stone. I need more army, more weapons, and more world to travel".
"Heh, that seems impossible", Foggon commented, "The Power Stones you are referring to are mere myths. There is no evidence of its existence".
"And that is where you are wrong, General. If myth can come true, then I suggest these stones are facts too".
"Your idea seems…..promising", The Third One remark, "Perhaps your plan could be…..a great benefit to the Blood Birds".
"Thank you, my leader", Baron bow, as the screen descended back up, finishing his presentation.
"In concluding our session, I suggest all of you to continue your progress", Third One said, "As for the Baron, I will give full control to him on his project. Baron, do not disappoint me".
"I won't", Baron promises, "I will track down those stones for you".
"Indeed….You may all leave".
"HAIL BLOOD BIRDS!" They all stood and saluted, as they all headed out from the room.
The Baron has always desired more weaponry, believing it to be the greatest influence of the world.
And now that his project is now under his control, he is determined to look for the stones no matter what.
I hope you guys enjoy it. They will plat a major role later on.
So stay tune for more and also to the next chapter of the RR.
