Chapter 5

Chaos Ensues

The equipment in the warehouse was stolen months ago. They were kept under surveillance ever since. They were turned on instantly by Williams' henchmen, they stored stock including drugs and weapons. Numerous computers were activated one after another. They were about to man their stations until one of them named Gar, a cat whose fur is the colour of the setting sun, walked to Williams. "You think coming here would be a good idea?"

"You know that a super-efficient security system has been installed," interrupted Ferdinand.

Ferdinand is a quiet-type person who doesn't do things for the sake of excitement. He's not like any of the terrorist working for Williams, he goes by with his own rules. Nobody has suspected on what he's been doing. He went to the TV screens which showed the interior of the building where the explosives were made and one of the hideouts Williams set up, it was the same one in the harbour. Williams commanded everybody to carry out assignments he made, Gar went with one group and Ferdinand went with the other. Williams stayed where he is to monitor the progress.

At the Council of Acorn, the members were starting to worry after learning that Theobald Williams is back. They were more under pressure than when the jet, subway train and cruise ship were hijacked. Rotor and Sir Charles were in fear the most. Sir Charles said that chaos will rise as long as Theobald Williams continues to terrorise Mobius, everybody will go in a state of panic. Dylan made a somewhat mediocre statement. "GUN are going to catch Williams as long as we are strong, we're unbeatable."

"This is a council, not a motion picture," angered Phil Peters.

"Sorry, it's just that every time I think of him he drives me mad."

Rotor attempted to calm him. "Do not let him push your buttons, I used to have the same problems as you have before."

"He's right," agreed Rosemary Prower. "We cannot be distracted to our hatred. What matters is the situation we're in."

Sir Charles agreed with the statement. Years ago when Theobald Williams first came on the scene, they thought he was just another bully in the playground. But when they heard of the bombing of Knothole, they almost went in a state of panic. They felt like they were responsible for not stepping in and resolving the crisis. They hoped not to make the same error twice. Sir Charles relaxed in his seat and just as he was about to continue, the doors burst wide open and Scourge dashed in, panting.

"Scourge!" exclaimed Rotor. "What seems to be the problem?"

"One of Williams' gangs drugged the water supply and it's about to hit civilisation!" Scourge screamed.

Scourge became part of GUN after the Knothole Bombings. The explosives contained material which can neutralise chaos energy and can leave its victims weakened. He was caught in the blast which drained his energy, he was hospitalized for 35 days. He was told that his power has been wiped clean. Scourge was later given the opportunity to become a GUN agent. He accepted it and enlisted after he recovered. It took him a very long time to getting do mission without his powers. He thought killing Williams will ease his wrath before or after his powers are back.

The council members were in shock and Phil and Sir Charles were worried.

A hazmat vehicle sped towards the water plant and people in hazmat suits got out in a quick pace. They entered and examined the place, one of the soldiers ran to the main control system and examined the readings. The lights are all read and warning messages appeared. He looked at one of the screens which displayed biological micro-organism in one of the water the pipes. He radioed in and commanded to neutralise the bio-weapon.

The team brought out a large container, it was a cylinder with warning logos on it including the toxic warning. Once inside, they came to the main pipe, opened it and released the neutralizer. The soldier in the control room watched the bio-weapon being terminated. He radioed in that the bio-weapon is destroyed, but just as he was about to leave he saw a bomb near on the ground floor. He contacted the bomb squad, he was almost paralyzed in fear.

The bomb squad came in and secured the bomb. The bomb expert examined it, it had 4 tubes which make up a deadly concoction of huge a fiery ball. He disabled the trigger and then rerouted the wires. He explained that the bomb is impossible to defuse but can be delayed. The bomb was escorted out and thrown in a nearby river. The water went up in the air and plummeted with a huge splash.

Horatio Quack examines Joplin, he's in critical condition. Saoirse and Cian were wondering how Joplin is doing. Dr. Quack had that expression which says it's not going to end well. "He won't be able to live after that accident."

Commander Tower tried to be calm but the stress of finding Williams is tearing him from the inside. An agent walked towards him and gave him vital information. "There was a bio-weapon discovered at a water planet and a bomb was diffused at the same location."

"Did you find out it was Williams' doing?" asked Tower.

"We're unsure at the moment, the bomb was immediately activated once the bioweapon was destroyed."

"Well agent, what you were witnessing was just the beginning."
