Jordan awoke in a hospital bed. The last thing he remembered was the car falling off the bridge with him trapped inside. He sat up and noticed that he had no IV's or bandages. He got to his feet and walked out of the room; there were no nurses or doctors around. Jordan put his hand up against the wall and leaned against it. "Am I here? Am I alive?" "Yes, Jordan, you are." The sound of the female voice caused him to spin around quickly. "I-Ianite?" The purple haired goddess smiled at him and nodded. He stepped closer to her. "What is going on?" "Wake up, and you will find out." "What? I am awake." "Come on, the others are waiting for you." "My Lady, what are you talking about?" Suddenly, Jordan's vision became blurry, and he fell to the ground hearing, "Wake up, Jordan."
He awoke once again, but now on a couch, to see Tucker leaning over on Jordan saying, "Wake up, Jordan." This caused Jordan to jump which triggered laughter in the room. "God damn it…Can't a man just get some sleep?" He said as he rolled onto his side. "You've gotten enough sleep already." A familiar female voice said. His eyes shot wide open. He sat straight up and stared at Ianite. Tom snickered, for he found the perfect moment. "Jordan and Ianite-" "Tom," Jordan interrupted, "I forgot. I still have something of yours." Confused, Tom stopped his little chant. Jordan reached into his pocket and pulled out his middle finger, flipping Tom off. Tom sighed as Tucker retorted, "Hey! That was my thing!" "Well, I did it better." Jordan said with a smirk which caused a smile from Ianite. Then, the door of the waiting area opened with the female agent's head poking through. "Good to see you're up, Jordan. Are you all ready?" With multiple nods, they exited the room. Sonja walked up to Jordan and whispered, "Nice diversion back there, but it won't stop Tom from doing it again." Jordan nodded, saying, "Let him keep trying. He'll have to be committed to it if he wants some kind of reaction out of me."
They crossed the hall and into the debriefing room where they met the female agent and an older and more taller man. Mianite and Dianite appeared next to the gang as everyone settled inside. "First off," the female agent said, "my name is Ivy. This here is my superior and former marine, Officer Walker." Tom merely stared at Ivy in a gaze just now noticing her long and red hair as well as her piercing brown eyes. He forced himself to snap out of it, and he focused his attention to what was being spoken about. Walker leaned on the table and spoke with a deep voice. "We are well aware of the situation that is at hand. I hope you don't mind, but we took the little beacon device you got from one of them and analyzed it in order to see what we're up against." Biographies of Jordan, Sonja, Tucker, and Tom popped up on the board behind Ivy. "Ugh, did you really have to pick that picture for me?" Sonja asked. "We have done our research on you all. We are aware that you all may not always get along, but we hope that for the sake of saving the world, you can make a few exceptions." Ivy said with a smile.
"So what's the plan?" Jordan asked. Walker pulled out a portfolio of pictures and spread them across the table. In these pictures, various Nebulans could be seen around largely populated areas across L.A. and other large cities throughout the United States. "They're everywhere." Sonja said in disbelief. "Yeah," Walker said, "these people are not just out to get you. They're going to try to take this nation or even destroy it. Then maybe even the whole world…Right now, the plan is for you to stay low. Do not use your phones or anything to contact anyone. We cannot risk them tracking you down. Instead, we'll provide you with these earpieces with COMM channels so secure that even the NSA cannot tap into them." Walker smiled, and Ivy whispered to the gang, "This is the part where you laugh." An awkward laughter then sounded throughout the room. After saying this, Ivy passed out the four earpieces for them.
"Furthermore," Walker began, "you all will need codenames. I would suggest your standard nicknames being Captain Sparklez, Jericho, Syndicate, and Fire Foxx. Now, onto the more crucial part…There may be a time where you will encounter one of the Nebulans. In order to defend yourselves, Ivy will show you to the armory." "Yes, sir, but may I also mention something else?" Walker nodded. "Let me be clear," she firmly stated, "if at all you get the opportunity to capture one of them, we need you to bring them back to us alive." Ivy was staring at Tom as she said this. He kept quiet but rolled his eyes when she looked away. Ivy then led them out of the room, down the long hall, and into another room.
This new room was filled with guns, weapons, and gear on walls and tables. "For now," she said, "you will only be carrying a handgun and a knife. No need to alarm people." "Hey, uh, don't we need a permit for carrying a gun in public?" Tucker asked. "Not as long as you carry these at all times." She said as she tossed them each a C.I.A. badge with their own personal I.D.'s. "From this point on and until this all ends, you're C.I.A. now." Tom couldn't help but scream with excitement. "Meet me back at the debriefing room when you're finished here." She said as she made eye contact with Tom. She smiled at him as she walked out. Tom immediately ran over and grabbed a belt that had holsters for a sidearm and a knife. The rest followed, and they strapped their belts on. They all grabbed standard combat knives and slid them in their respective holsters. For the guns, Tom grabbed a gray Desert Eagle, Tucker grabbed a shiny and silver M1911, Sonja grabbed a black M9, and Jordan grabbed a shiny and silver .357 magnum. "My only concern is that we can only carry so much ammo on us at a time." Tucker said. "I think I can speak also for my siblings when I say that we can assist with that. We'll keep you locked and loaded." Mianite said. "What about my sword?" Tom asked Dianite. "Your sword?" Dianite asked sarcastically as he laughed. Tom sighed. When they finished getting ready, they headed back to the debriefing room.
"Are you sure, sir?" Ivy asked Walker. "Sure about what?" Sonja asked as they entered the room again. Walker nodded to Ivy and said to the gang, "You can all head back to your homes. Get some rest while you can. We'll let you know if something comes up." "Thank God," Tucker said, "I need to feed Grizz." "Stay safe, guys." Ivy said as she smiled. "Will do." Tom said as the gang walked out of the room.
