A Collection of Fragmented Stories From the Time of The Hybrid Empire

THE CITADELS ENTRANCE

A loud klaxon blares, shaking windows and powerlines... The entirety of Sector 7 shakes as the outer walls of the Citadels Nexus start to slam down, moving forward. The towering nexus and palaces lights shut off, as red lights switch on... The click of the lights activating echoing through the now silent city, red spot lights start shining into the sky and all the billboards turn blood red, displaying the following text "CITY LOCKDOWN. DIRECTIVE-55. DIRECTIVE-55." Directive-55 is martial law. A robotic voice starts echoing around the city, instructing civilians to stay inside their homes... The city shakes again as a blaring siren emits from the Nexus and echoes over the city. Sirens are heard as armored trucks move to the site of the riot. The riot is in full swing, people screaming and pushing against the H.N.D.U. shield wall. The ground jolts and as massive blast doors slam shut preventing entry into the Nexus, rioters and H.N.D.U. alike stumble when this happens. The riots leader Max, is standing on a truck holding a mega phone, screaming orders at the assembled rebels. The Nexus siren shakes the ground again, the sirens of responding H.N.D.U. get louder as they start to cordon off the affected area. The rioters surge forward, breaking through the shield wall. The air is thick with tear gas. Suddenly gunshots ring out, soldiers on the wall start firing their pulse rifles into the crowd, green streaks of zecron energy fly from their guns and impact into the crowd, injuring or out right killing those that get hit... Its absolute chaos.
