134 Light Vs Darkness

Time: [Unknown]

Location: City of Hope

POV: [Unknown]

''How dare they disturb us at such a time, PRIESTS!'' The stand-in pope ordered, ''Your holiness activate your Holy Robe!'' The stand-in pope asked. I looked confused at what was happening, my brain was also giving a splitting headache. I fell to one of my knees as my headache got worse and worse.

I looked at the majestic Entrance where the priests made a massive shield halting anything from coming through, I stretched my hand towards the priests halting the enemies, without thinking a massive beam of light came from my hand, healing the priests will burning the black assassins. ''YOUR HOLINESS PROTECTS US!'' The stand-in pope shouted esthetically.

I finally stood up on my two legs, trying to orientate myself, when I looked at the priests I noticed many non-human features, some had scales, some had fur, some had wood or rock-like skin. I was shaking my head to try to clear it up, I was trying to focus when I saw a man running towards me from the right, I aimed my hand again and try to replicate what I did before, with success, yet the enemy nimbly avoids it continuing on his path.

The stand-in pope saw the action and threw himself in front of me to halt the enemy, the person stabbed him but before he could continue he and the stand-in pope vanished. Before I could react I already fainted due to the headache.

After about 1 hour was I finally awakened by the other priests and Bishops, ''What happened?'' I asked with a groan, ''Your Holiness, former pope Cristian has used his teleportation spell to get him and the enemy as far away from here as possible!'' An experienced bishop replied.

But before I could even speak my consciousness was taken away to a higher plain, in front of me were the stars, but below me, there was the current planet I think I am staying on. I saw it's past, it's present and it's present, although not in 100% detail. But just as I thought I saw it all, another planet appeared in front of me, it was none other than the planet he grew up with.

I looked at it explosion everywhere as mankind was forced into massive bunker complexes. 'What happened?' I asked with a frown.

Location: Capitol

POV: Zulu

I read through the reports on my desk, it was a very compact document of 200 pages with the current status of the Federation. 'New military tank and plane design... New Fission project... New Bunker complex expansion plan... Creation of a new governmental body for fighting Confed... New rocket testing...' I read through the document silently, writing down the achievements of the two factions comparing them to the 10 commandments.

I pushed up my glasses as they slid down slowly of the hours of reading, 2 men appear in front of me, kneeling on one knee. ''ALL HAIL THE MARSHALL!'' The two saluted before handing over a document. I grabbed and opened it, 'Scientists Werner von Braun went missing, whereabouts unknown, motives unknown, conspirators unknown...' I frowned deeply on this information, 'Didn't I order the construction of new jet fighters?' I thought back to my previous orders.

''Commander, also the 2 lions are getting more openly aggresive towards eachother, how should be proceed with dealing with this problem?'' One of the two asked me. ''Just keep going with your current tasks, we must continue operation Red in order to further the Marshall's commandments,'' I said as I continued to analyse the documents. The 2 nodded before disappearing from the field of view. After which I relaxed backwards in the chair, 'Rudolf, Rommel, why do you have to make my life difficult?' I lamented.

I cleaned up my desk and left my office entering a large office full with certain objects, Werner von Brauns' Team states it is something called a Computer.

I walked out through a secret exit and entered the Capitol underground, the underground streets were crowded, yet spacious, gracious yet sombre. Massive stockmarkets, normal markets, science institutes, corporations were all located in the underground capitol at a massive price, not only money wise but freedom wise, as all your details will be processed by the Financial Ministry directly.

I took the train, 1st class towards the 557th underground city, it was electronic production orientated. After a 6-hour long drive did I finally arrive, Switching clothing at one of the Secret police outposts to a more fitting stealth suit, after which I started my personal mission.

''Time to infiltrate the High Command conference...'' I said to myself softly, after which I vanished right to the naked eye, only more clearly visible when I am moving. Moving through the airshaft and ventilation airways I finally managed to sneak into the Small bunker complex, in it was the 20th High Command meeting, one being held each year.

''Today gentlemen we must discuss multiple issues, one is on how to tackle the Confederation or Confed. Rebellion in Asia, currently it is shown they have equal to better weaponry to us and use all types of tactics we haven't seen! We must expand or budget on the development of arms, while also deploying more peacekeeping forces in the area. We cannot show weakness in front of the civil faction! We must start preparing an army separate from the State army, slowly building it up and preparing it to overthrow the civil faction, let us hear the suggestions from you all!'' Rommel said confidently.

I sighed deeply, 'Rommel, why did you have to make me do this, but feel better that your opponent will suffer a similar fate. Why can't they just do what they are told...' I berated Rommel and Rudolf. I opened up the vent and jumped straight into the room.
