The Broken Hero (Official Version)

Prologue

Mór always used to be a quiet, calm town. Important things happened very rarely, things that the people could remember forever, and the town did not give us many popular people. In a nutshell, things worth mentioning, important things and dangers avoided the town, which everyone was okay with, it was well this way. So nobody was counting on the opportunity of this changing in the future... Nobody was counting on it that it could change, change because of one person; because of me. But I didn't know... even I didn't know yet... neither did I know why.

Next to this, the town was a beautiful place, and a good place for one to live their lives. With the beautiful buildings, with the events, it was not hard to get the people to visit the town. There were seven schools, two schools, and also two churches. But things did not happen because the town had good buildings... not even close. The old railway was standing in the town without being used, for a long while now, but it was always good to walk next to them. Next to them, not so dense, but trees were standing, and this was enough to hide something there that the people would not notice, and even if they did, they wouldn't give it special attention.

On a normal night in September, a man was also walking next to this railway, in a hoodie and a mask, and apparently, he was not at all in a hurry. However, when he kept walking, he perfectly turned towards the trees, and he was walking towards an old, small chalet. When he got there, he didn't even knock, he just easily pushed the door with his gloved hand, which obediently opened, creaking. He stepped in, looking around and he stood on a certain point. Around him, blue light emerged from the ground in a circle as he started going down - standing on the circle-shaped platform, but apparently, this did not even surprise him, though somewhat it was seen that he was afraid.

The weird elevator took him to a circle-shaped, spacious, illuminated room. There were already some people there, also in hoodies, masked.

"You're late, Max" one of them said.

"Again, I was thinking... if we are so secretive, then why is our base here? Anyone could find it... just think about it, some teens come here to mess the place up, one of them stands right there and they are he-"

"Luckily, the sensors only let people in that they have already seen and the boss approved it" he got cut off by his companion, again, his mate that was called Jack. 

Max shrugged reluctantly and sat down on a chair.

"Where is Lanson?" Max asked after a few seconds of silence. 

"He's not here yet" said Jack's twin brother, Jason. "And by the way, it's none of your business."

"Then technically he is not late, we are early" reasoned a third masked man called Owen.

"Rest your mouth" Jack waved him off as he took a threatening step towards Max. "How do we even know you won't betray us?"

"Tempting, but I have a feeling of what you're going to do if I do that."

"Why are you threatening, Jack?" a sharp voice from towards the elevator asked, which once again disappeared during the conversation.

Jack went back to where he was, then everyone stood up. The elevator slowly got back to the room. The appearance of the man standing on it was somehow different than the others... it was somehow more threatening, and his mask was different from the others' masks. It covered his entire face.

Lanson stepped down from the elevator, before it even reached the ground, and he looked around. 

"Sit down" he said, cold.

The others obeyed him. Lanson walked past the weird, modern chairs, then he faced them. 

"Luckily for now, with all of our recruitments, we earned new members" he stated. "To them, I would like to thank you for joining our case. With this, there's enough of us to set up a new order in the country, and then in the world. But next to this, we have a new task."

Tense silence followed his words. On the big screen, a church suddenly appeared. 

"This church is next to the Office. There's something... to be more exact, something about someone that we need. When we get it and give it to the one that needs it, we can begin what we want. Jason and Jack, begin the distraction with the burglaries. Owen, find out as much as possible about the information hidden in the church, and find out how we can get in there. Max, as soon as Owen gets everything he can get, you are going to intrude the church. Until then, I am going to start elaborating the exact plan of the power takeover with the others... You are dismissed."

Everyone stood up, and mostly, they started talking about the things they just heard. Max however, as soon as he stood up, he walked towards the elevator. He stood up on it as the elevator started going up with him. What could be in that church, and why would this mysterious person need it, this person whose name was never said by Lanson?
