41 Uninvited Guests

After waiting and talking a bit did the head of intelligence return. His face was not looking too good but not as bad as when all our bases were under attack. He reported:''Marshall, our agents have confirmed. The [Unknown] Organisation has started to build an outpost in Zurich. And they have already started to contact far Left parties, including our archenemy, the Communist party.''

''I was expecting them sooner, but it seems they had other priorities,'' I replied, while deep in thought. ''Sir? how did you know? We have just gained the report, at max they have been in Zurich for one week!'' The head of Intelligence was baffled. I decide to show them one of my personal trump cards,''I forgot to mention that 3 months ago, I have recruited an Assassin whilst a trip with Hugo in the Alps, a lone wolf if you will. He does not give his real name, we just call him [Shadow], Highly skilled, before I recruited him I demanded that he researches our enemy the [Unknown] Organisation to show his capabilities, as we can't hire anyone and it might be an enemy spy. What he has found was more than any of our spies have currently gotten. Yet it is also only the bare surface he is able to scratch, the price was affordable and I do not doubt his Loyalty, 'Especially since it has a value of 78',And I guess it is time I reveal what I know thanks to Shadow.

I would like people not to be shocked and not Panic,

The Organisation. They call themselves the [Union], if I look at their ideological spectrum I would say, Socialists. Origin is Unknown, the Current leader is also unknown. But speculation shows the Origin is the British Empire. And the leader to be a Brit, as most communication is done in English. Current estimation shows that they have successfully infiltrated 10 of the Largest economies, and I am afraid to say that the Entire Commonwealth is under their thumb. Only the 2 Countries have suppressed this Organisation and their attempts to enter the Government, those two are the Soviet Union and the United States of America. The exact power of the union is completely unknown, but we estimate more than 1 million civilian personnel and 10,000 active personnel. They have increased their Panzer force dramatically, but we cannot estimate their Numbers, the air force is also unknown. That is all Information I could get my hands on Thanks to Shadow, Now if you would please welcome him.'' 'Clap' I clapped my hands as a Signal for him to enter. He was dressed In a black bodysuit which tightly wrapped around his body. A red cloak is draped over him as well. A massive modified Anti-Tank rifle with a scope and what looks like a self-made silencer. 2 Daggers on his hips and 10 throwing knives on his arms. 2 m1911a1's Are in holsters at his feet. With a raspy voice he replied, ''Marshall, you have summoned me'' ''Yes, I want you to display your skill to the Sector heads, the Golden Skull Nova, one of our Elites and the people who Guard me will be in the room behind that glass.'' Shadow grunted in acknowledgement as he headed towards to the room. Both men were ready, only melee weapons are allowed, so Nova uses his standard double Bowie Knife. ''I won't go easy on you,'' Nova said. Shadow was just silent as he stared at the man in front of him. ''START!'' Rudolf shouted.

Immediately Shadow pulled out fine dust from one of his holders on his Belt and throws it at the Nova. ''Ha piety tricks'' Nova shouted as he closed his eyes while throwing a throwing knife in the direction of Shadow, who immediately jumped to the left to avoid it. The Dust settled and Nova immediately sprinted towards Shadow. 'Ting' Nova hits a throwing knife in mid-air that Shadow threw. But immediately afterwards did 6 Throwing knives follow from Shadow. Nova slides downwards towards Shadow, who anticipated and Jumped over Nova who was slicing towards his Legs. 'Splitsch' A throwing knife lodged itself into Nova's back. But the shadow was underestimating Nova, 'Nova survived a terrible battle, saw his fellow men die and has 200 confirmed kills to his name, he is supposed to be promoted to Red Skull, but instead opted to be my bodyguard. He is not as easy as you think. Shadow' I thought while I watched the battle. And Shadow also realised as he noticed only one Bowie Knife in Nova's hands, 'Splitsch' The Bowie knife curved around in an arc to fly towards Shadow, although Shadow reacted quickly the knife still cuts deeply into his shoulder. By the time Shadow lands on his feet, Nova already stood up and threw 2 throwing knives at him. Shadow ducked to avoid getting hit but was led right into Nova's trap as the Other Bowie Knife in an arc from above lodged itself into Shadows back, luckily avoiding the spine and vital spots. Nova was panting heavily as throwing these Bowie knives take tons of effort precision and calculations to throw. Shadow darted towards Nova, ''I admit Defeat!'' Nova shouted. Shadow stopped right in front of him a knife 1 cm away from his throat. ''Goddamn, I have used my killer moves twice and yet was only to hurt you a bit. A normal soldier would have already lost their shoulder and the huge chunk from their back, yet you avoided them just so to sustain minor injuries. I admit my defeat with Honour, I think only Zero would be a match for you after he recuperates.'' Nova said dejectedly.

''As you can see men, topnotch fighting skills, and that is not even using his speciality, the anti-tank sniper rifle. Also, he has superb infiltration skills!'' I said to the heads who eagerly watched the battle unfold. ''Yes sir, a mighty fine Assassin you have found, only you are able to find such people!'' the head of intelligence praised. ''Shadow, well done, go get your wounds treated and continue your mission!'' I ordered Shadow, he acknowledged with a grunt again. ''Nova, you really stood your ground, showing the pride of the rank Gold Skull, go and also get your injuries treated,'' I ordered Nova.

''Now men, we have to deal with the Union in Zurich, Intelligence head, prepare a perimeter 2 blocks around their Outpost, I want 10 Black hands ready for tonight, as we are going to pay these people a visit and have a nice talk. Rudolf! Prepare my car I am going as well!'' I ordered the men. With that said, Rudolf left the meeting room together with the head of intelligence. ''Men Rudolf will give you your targets for Phase 2 tomorrow, Everyone dismissed!'' I said. All sector heads stood up and saluted before leaving. ''Except you Hoffman!'' I said. ''Yes, Marshall!'' Hoffman replied while returning to his seat.
