Luminary

Episode 37 - Can't Let Her Get Away

Arriving in Paris, France, Team Dark members of Luminary had to be on their toes all the time. The country was a complete war zone and the capital was in the heart of the confrontation.

Escort: Your Majesty, we found 4 IBI Agents in our territory.

They weren't prisoners, but were having a hostile reception anyway. The room was full of people looking at them with contempt.

A tall woman with African American skin color came to the group from a strategy session with other people and made a cocky smile looking at them as they all knelt in respect

Leo: Queen Beauetfort, I take it?

Beauetfort: What do you know, the Famous Luminary, finally at my doorstep.

Leo: You were expecting us?

Beauetfort: Portugal, Spain, Ukraine and Belarus. It was only a question of time.

She gestures with their hand and they stand up.

Beauetfort: The IBI has a lot of gal to send you to my country after Saisem drove you out.

Nana: So that's why there are no IBI bases here?

Beauetfort: Correct. We are La Résistance! People, with or without powers, from France who decided to stand up and fight after the IBI was utterly destroyed in Paris.

Leo: And why do you call yourself "Queen"?

Beauetfort: Because I will rule this country once we take it back. And now, when we are close to victory, you guys appear.

Luiz: To be fair, we were attacking other Saisem bases all over the world, so...

Beauetfort: Yes, I know. Even here your team's stories are told. Some even wanted you to reach our country to help in the war effort.

Leo: Our mission it's to specifically destroy the Red King's local castle and kill it's officer. We will not stand on your or in the people's way to retake what's yours.

She scratches her chin.

Beauetfort: Very well, then we will work together.

The people in the room make a war cry and the guards lower their weapons

The Queen takes them to a table with the map of Paris, showing the King's castle, the troops locations, etc.

Beauetfort: We will attack the Red King's castle tonight. My army has been fighting continuously to secure routes that will take us straight to our target. Since the IBI kindly offered the fours of you to be the main strike team, you will all go first and assassinate the Officer.

Luiz: Interesting... While we go in, your army will attack on each side of the castle.

Nana: No escapes, no chances, every Saisem soldier will either fight or surrender.

Luiz and Nana: Most Impressive!

Leo: What is this red area?

Beauetfort: Paris Descartes University. Saisem uses it's library as an information hub.

Leo: But why is it marked as Red?

Beauetfort: Empress Ran did... "Something" there yesterday.

Luiz: She was here?

Beauetfort: For a limited time. She went for the library and left.

Leo: Can we go there?

Beauetfort: It's in enemy territory, so I wouldn't recommend.
