War Storm FanFic

Chapter 9 -From Now On

(make the chapter cover a wall of video screens)

*CAMERON'S POV*

We were in a base over the Lakelands border which means no Nortan newsfeeds. For now. I was in a medium-sized room inside the new base turning it into a control centre. There were multiple screens which were going to display all the information required. I was currently hacking and jamming signals so we could get both Nortan and Lakelander newsfeeds. Just like before. We have to be up-to-date with everything after all.

One of the screens contained something I had designed. It was a screen from the new infirmary. It had live statistics of beds, patient and health levels. There was also a button in each room including this one that, when pressed, summoned an emergency healer. 

I was tinkering with some wires trying to establish a connection with Lakelander newsfeeds when the Nortan screen I already had working came to life. I called for the Colonel. We watched as Maven made a broadcast to the whole of Norta. When it finished I turned to the Colonel.

He was red-faced. "He knows we were at the wedding, he has a spy in there." "Cole, can you set me up on one of these screens so I can talk to everyone in the base?" I nodded and within a minute had established a connection.

"From now on, everyone within this organisation ignores any contact from anyone within the Rift. We cannot trust them no more due to recent events at Evangeline and Tiberas's wedding."

At this Mare runs in followed by Farley. "Mare you mut stop running, you're heavily pregnant for Christs' sake." Oh yeah Mare reached 6 months this morning and now Farley keeps flapping. It's funny watching them both.

"What about Evangeline sir?"

"Accept contact from her but no-one else."

A current went round the room as Maven's latest episode of bulls*** echoed round the room again. I went to the screen and muted it. I didn't need to hear the slimeballs words again.

*MAVEN POV*

The broadcast was live. 

"Dear citizens of Norta, I come to you today to implore you for help. Anyone who gives me information leading to the capture or discovery of the Scarlet Guard and their plans will become free from conscription. Forever. If anybody would like to join forces or ally with me, I would accept it. The Scarlet Guard will soon be eradicated."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Strange really, as we are all enemies. But the two Silver sides will be the first to unite. This pathetic Red rebellion will end soon. Then after, The Kingdom of the Rift and all of it's supporters will go. 

My maniacal laughter echoed round my chambers as the broadcast played back to me. Huh, maybe I am insane.

*Volo's POV*

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Our first enemy is now the Scarlet Guard. They are strong and they are a threat, no matter how much I deny it. They have to go.

"Summon the key and most important members within this Kingdom to a meeting right now."

Maven Calore. I will accept your alliance to defeat the Scarlet Guard. But the minute your back is turned, I will stick a knife in it.

*Cal's POV* 

A runner burst into my room breathless. "Volo Samos requests your presence at a meeting in his office, now please Your Highness."

I nodded and followed the runner down the hall. There was a bad feeling inside me as I opened the door. 

I was the last one inside. Evangeline, Larantina, Annabel and Volo were sat inside. Key meeting indeed.
