Zure
Chapter 2
The air at Roswell temple was still as Machene made his message. " Cybermagues the world over you needent fear the Protectorate any longer nor do you need to fear the Death Eaters for the Brotherhood will protect you. Ever since our dawn into this era we and our brethren around the magical world have been oppressed. But no longer. Rising out of our shackles and from our bunkers we must all take part in the holy power that is the cybermagi." Machene said with a smile on his face. " The attack on Reykjavik was not an accident. It was a merciful knife to the throat of a malignant idiology of secrecy and lies. I invite those who are not cybermaguses to join our ranks and fight for truth. Fight for truth not secrecy not Fudge who betrayed his country in the last war. United for Truth, For the oppressed. WE ARE THE BROTHERHOOD OF ZURE! WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR OPPRESSED BROTHERS, THE ELVES AND THE GOBLINS AND ALL WHO ARE UNDER THE THUMB OF THE PROTECTORATE! And as for the Death Eaters we will see your end as well. Your hateful regimes will never prosper in the eyes of the Brotherhood." A great banner unfurled behind Machene with the brotherhood symbol in the center of the banner. Ralph watched the video of the missile hitting its target over and over. He could watch it a hundred times and probably would do so. They had fought hard today and victory was theirs. They were the Four that had delivered the devine blade. Ralph, Allison, Graptor, and Apporos. Ralph sat in the common room of the temple. " hey Noob!" Said Allison with a smile. "-are you gonna just gonna sit around watching footage or are you gonna do something today!" Ralph looked at Allison, Maybe I should hang out with allison, after all we did just invade a muggle military base and steal a top secret weapon together, We should learn more about each other. Ralph thought. " thank you noob! I feel the same way after how you handled the base op. " Ralph lept to his feet " Your a Leginimens?" he asked. "Yes Im not the best but it is a good combat skill to know what your opponent is thinking." Ralph made a mental note not to let his thoughts roam freely around Allison. The two walked towards the Podium where they had recieved their marks. Ralph looked at his Mark , He knew that among The Brotherhood of Zure this was a holy mark, But to the rest of the world it was the symbol of the terrorism of the brotherhood. He looked up at the legend below the stone carving of the brotherhoods symbol, Vis deos in terris pressura May iustitiae triumphum. It translated into, The power of the gods on earth, May righteousness triumph over oppression. " Ralph the reason we fight the way we do is because we are at a disadvantage." came the voice of Machene from behind him. " My lord!" Ralph spun around and saluted his master. " That salute is not neccesary Ralph, You have proven your worthyness. The reason we fight as so called terrorists is because we do not yet have the numbers to take on the Protectorate full force. But there is a way to put the scales slightly in our favor. There is a global enchantment that holds the elven populace in a subserviant fashion. It is a loyalty spell that forces them to believe that they are inferior to wizards. We have broken its hold on some of the stronger house elves but it still maintains a stranglehold on the majority of the elven population. Your next mission is to use a special weapon to destroy this enchantment so that the elves can be free. You will be briefed at 0900 tommorrow. Our friends at Magitech Industries have devised this weapon for us to use." Machene said with a grin. " Our war of liberation will end in victory." Ralph had goosebumps all over him. If they were successful they could bring the war to a more even ground. There were 3 elves for every wizard in the world if only a fraction joined the brotherhood they would be a force on par with the Protectorate. Also it would weaken the Death Eaters immensely as they used the elves of the wealthy as living shields from Brotherhood attack. Ralph and Allison proceeded to the mission room. The room was full of computers and screens monitoring all battlefield data from the brotherhoods engagements around the world. " Good afternoon " Said the BSC. " So your here again too" Said a Raspy voice. It was Graptor. " Your mission is to protect a Space launch pad from Death Eater Attack until the rocket assembled there is ready to launch. The satellite has been modified at the last minute by Infiltrators to be able to rain down spell infused projectiles upon our foes. It was origionally part of a U.S. Space weapons program that was to use nuclear weapons but now we have acquired it from our friends within the U.S. DOD. "THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE! How did we infiltrate muggle governments so easily, wouldnt the Department of Magic know?" Ralph blurted out without control. " Machene will tell you as soon as you complete this mission." Graptor said. looking at the confused youth in front of him " May I continue?" Said the BSC. " The satellite will provide the Brotherhood with the ability to strike anywhere with devastating force. The Satellite is armed with a singualar mass driver or railgun. It is to be docked to the brotherhoods Space Station Zeus. There we will be able to launch the Brotherhoods latest weapon, The Catalyst Warhead. The Catalyst Warhead is a Warhead with nth metal. As you know Nth metal is highly reactive with magic. The warhead will be targeted to a monument at the English Ministry of Magic in London." The monument is the source of the spell that holds house elves in captivity. Destroying it will cause a chain reaction that will destroy both the english ministry and the spell throughout the world as well as lowering many magical protections within England and Ireland that prevent muggles from entering magical areas. This chaos is what we need to prove that the Protectorate is not all powerful. " It will be like giving clothes to every house elf on the planet, Interresting how much chaos this will cause." Said Graptor with a smile. " You will be accompanyed by 100 endowed and 8 Avatar mechs. "Endowed?" said Ralph puzzled. " Cybernetic Inferi." Said Allison. " The Avatar mech is a Exoskeletal assault suit capable of casting spells and armed with powerful weaponry. You Will also be accompanied by a squadron of Wraith Fighters." "0900 tommorrow! Rest well noob!" Said Allison to Ralph.
Ralph could not believe it. He knew that the Hand of Atlantis did the most classified ops within the brotherhood but the level to which they had inflitrated the both the magical and muggle world astounded him. But then he thought It also explained a lot. It explained how they were able to operate in complete secrecy for so long. They literally were doing some of the most powerful magic, magic that could otherwise easily be detected by the Department of Magic. " May I come in Ralph." Said Machene. Ralph and Machene locked eyes for a minute. Ralph was amazed at them momentarily, how tired they were but yet he could sense there was a great force behind them. " There is a lot about the Brotherhood that you do not know. Allow me to fill you in. To most of the world the brotherhood is a new thing but it has existed in secret for millenia." How have we avoided notice for so long?" Asked Ralph with a puzzled look on his face." We havent exactly. We have only surfaced to influence certain events in our favor. Our brotherhood predates most wizarding governments today and has secretly influenced its development. We are also its last best hope for redemption, for you see only truth will prevail as long as we exist." " The muggles?" asked Ralph. " They are our brothers for they share the biggest oppresion of all by the current corrupt regime. They are marginalised and excluded and by some hunted like animals. I intend to change that by fighting to protect them." Said Machene. " One of our brotherhoods main goals is to shatter the fog of lies that shadows the muggle world and expose the wizarding world to them, so that they may defend themselves." " But I thought the Protectorate wanted to protect muggles!" said Ralph "Yes and no" Machene paused " Yes the origional intent for secrecy was meant to protect wizards and muggles but it has almost done the opposite by leaving them vulnerable to attack from those who seek to destroy them. The only way they can ever defend themselves is for them to know of our existance. Im not sure they will side with the brotherhood when they do but they deserve to know." Ralph was astonished at this. He knew that Machene was against the Statute of Secrecy but did not think that even he would dare to break it, but here they were, talking about the unthinkable. But then Ralphs confidence soared. If they could get the muggles on their side the Brotherhood would win the war for sure. Most underestimated them but without them the Cybermaguses would not exist. The Brotherhood would not have been able to rise as easily without them. But the Brotherhood was also counting on the prejudice of the wizarding world at large. The Centaurs and Goblins and other creatures that had been oppressed and marginalised by the wizarding world at large were also potential allies. " Ralph you and allison will be going on a seperate mission to Hogwarts. You need to destroy something. The object is a wand of unspeakably destructive power." "The elder wand?" said Ralph. " Yes we cannot allow Fudge to use it against us. Though Potter is the only one that can use it, it still represents a threat to us. And though my wand is more than powerful enough to deal with it I still do not want it to fall into the wrong hands. This..." Machene pulled out a weird looking explosive charge."-is an Magic Quarentine device. We will produce this device for the muggles to use but for now we need to test it. You will go to Hogwarts and use the device to render the Elder Wand useless." Said Machene. " I will prepare immediately."Said Ralph. " The battle is already underway Go now and destroy this threat to our brotherhood."
Ralph prepared. He took some vehicle nanocores, his wand (Redwood, Dragon heartstring for all of you wondering out there) and an old amulet. Ralph opened the amulet for a minute. Inside was a picture of a tall woman with black hair and a smile on her face. It was a muggle picture and an old one at that, It didnt move but it was the only reminder of his family. Beneath her smiling face lie a message. " Ralph I know you will do something great one day until then I love you. Mom."
