~ HEADQUARTERS OF EYE OF EARTH ~

ITALY, POVEGLIANO VERONESE

TUESDAY, 10:14 PM

Our story took us to a part of the town of Povegliano Veronese where greed and corruption took hold because of material good, namely the headquarters of Eye Of Earth. The headquarters of the corrupt heroes, from the outside, was chock full of white lights as helicopters returned to base and others departed on missions while the colossal airship floated ominously in the sky. Stepping inside, the Eye Of Earth headquarters was mostly composed of a giant atrium where a huge globe made entirely of gold hung from the ceiling with a depiction of an eye wrapped in a geographic grid. The floor was made of reinforced concrete but covered with brick red rubberized carpets, the walls of the rooms were entirely white except for the atrium where each wall of the structure, that is four, were divided into four colors: one orange, one red, one blue and one green. The rumbling atrium was divided into three floors, and corridors walled with Plexiglas surrounded the entire perimeter, where anyone could both look at the other floors and corridors and at the atrium and the globe attached to the ceiling. At the corners of the structure were staircases leading to the upper floors, except for one that led down into a cold and frightening corridor, a kind of short lived underground tunnel that connected a giant building outside, namely the "Heroes Training Hall". Yes, they had had a gymnasium built, complete with bleachers and locker rooms. Little by little the heroes of Eye Of Earth wandered around the headquarters with certain tasks assigned by leader Ethan Hawkins, who had to handle computers, who had to handle requests for help, who cleaned, ate, slept, etc. etc... They used the ground floor most, where they immediately had the armory, an interrogation room, and a room where Ethan and other allies were present. They were sitting around a long table talking, along with a projection of the Eye Of Earth League logo via a hologram board behind the leader. The leader had aged a great deal since the last time we saw him; in fact, his hair and beard were white... But he looked different, more cruel and insane, as if something had changed. Thirteen years ago Ethan Hawkins was turning a good thirty years old, but today the leader looked like he was at least seventy....

Ethan: "In these times, business is not going well at all. All because of those creatures! If we had caught them thirteen years ago, events now would have turned out differently, but what can we do about it? The Immediate Murder Professionals have realized our intentions and tend to hide more, they have trained more. Well done I would say, but I have to propose an idea of my own." he narrated in a deep tone of voice, resting his hands on the table with seriousness.

Ghost: "We are listening to you, sir." he replied nervously as he sat next to Astrid.

Ethan: "But first Ghost, call our men and warn them to come to the base urgently!" he sternly ordered.

Ghost: "Roger!"

Then he picked up a walkie talkie and said:

Ghost: "Spotters, do you read me? This is Ghost!!! The leader wants you to return to HQ, over!" he ordered but the only thing he heard was static noises and silence.

Ghost: "Did you get the message? Pass!" he said as he began to worry.

Ghost: "Something must have happened."

Ethan: "Great... Ghost, Astrid! Tomorrow morning head to that school to catch up and investigate the disappearance of the spotters, okay?"

Ghost and Astrid: "Roger!"

Ethan: "One thing they had to do and they can't even do that!!! One simple THING!!! Too many opportunities wasted!!!" he yelled angrily, knocking over a chair aggressively.

Astrid: "What was their task?"

Ethan: "Since the mayor denied me to carpet and spread our propaganda for the sake of the youth, I well thought of having hidden cameras placed inside the Carlo Anti! And do you know why?! I am very sure that they are organizing something against us!!! I can feel it!!!" he exclaimed furiously, slamming two fists on the table, frightening his members.

After receiving a report from citizens, where they reported strange and disturbing noises coming from Carlo Anti High School, Ethan Hawkins had used this opportunity to fill the school with cameras to observe student behavior, but apparently had failed in his intent.

Astrid: "In all honesty sir, but they are just young people, how could they create a plan to destroy us? And also they should have the right to think as they want since they have to decide what to be in life." she replied nervously.

Ethan: "Are you saying that you are on their side? That you think these beings are not a threat!?!?" he yelled angrily in his direction.

Astrid: "Of course not, sir, I meant to let young people decide their future." she said pretending, trying not to fall into a long argument.

Ethan: "If I had control over that domain, I would have turned all the students into professional soldiers, paid them in exchange for stupid little jobs!!! The more the better!!!" he exclaimed through gritted teeth as veins stood out on his forehead in anger.

Ethan: "Hehe... Hehe... I have to calm down or risk a heart attack!" he said, chuckling sarcastically.

Meanwhile, his allies present were startled and shocked in their chairs feeling a strong sense of discomfort and fear.

Ethan: "However, one scenario for gaining more wealth, fame and power is to ally momentarily with Hell. Let's ally with them!"

Everyone was shocked by what their leader said, was he so sure?

Astrid: "Wait, what!?" she said confused and intimidated.

Ethan: "We summon a demon and corrupt it to gain power! This is not a bad idea!"

Ghost: "It seems a bit impossible, we don't even know where we could start!"

Ethan showed the inside of his gray coat to everyone, took his secret diary from his pocket and threw it on the table in front of everyone.

Ethan: "Here it is! The complete guide on all kinds of demons that exist in Hell! I wrote it over these long years!!!" he exclaimed proudly.

The allies sitting at the table looked at each other, startled and incredulous.

Ghost: "Sir, I support your idea, but we can't do that." he said nervously in a cold sweat.

Ethan: "And why not?" he said as he began to get angry.

Ghost: "Because we might get in trouble, that's all." he said stammering.

Ethan opened the book quickly flipping through pages as he passed the page devoted to imp species, hellhound, royal houses, Lucifer, etc., and stopped at a very particular demon.

Ethan: "We can try him first!" he said smilingly, throwing the book toward Ghost.

Ghost, trembling, caught it and saw the creepy demon with a disturbing smile.

Ghost: "No, no, no, sir! Absolutely not!" he said dreadfully passing the book to Ethan.

Astrid: "Who was he, Ghost?" she said a little worriedly.

Ethan: "You know very well who!" he said, smiling.

Ethan: "Either be on my side or leave this place, it's up to you! And by leave this place I mean from the Earth." he said, throwing the book on the table, showing us the creepy figure with a creepy smile and red bob hair.

In his hand he held a staff with a red microphone. He was one of the strongest demons in Hell, and if he were to take the throne in Lucifer's place, it would be everyone's undoing. His allies, having no other choice, nodded at Ethan with looks of despair and pure fear.

Ethan: "Come on, guys! Smile a little, you'll be completely nude without it!" he said as he began to smile, growing more and more creepy.

Next, Ethan and all his allies gathered in the imposing atrium to summon the very powerful radio demon.
