Helix Operatives: Creation

Plots: Ceves

It was a few moments later as Silence and the others were under main street in the sewers with the satchel full of explosives. Valor was going through each one of them, diffusing each of them by hand away from the group.

"So, Schloss, why haven't you gone and shot that asshole yet?" Asked Silence as he waited in the sewers.

"I guezz I should explain," said Schloss as she leaned against the wall. "I'm not actually az low of a rank az they think. I am actually with the Department of Inveztigationz. We had heard rumors of Derlo being a loze cannon and being radical. I waz azzined to hiz unit to inveztigate and stop him. I have already contacted my superiorz. They want uz to make it look like an accident. They have stated that if it iz an accident and my body iz not accounted for then I will be able to help you while staying here."

"Makes sense," said Seeker.

"Da, good," said Mirazh as she tightened her gas mask. "Why do we have to wait in the sewers?"

"Just trust me on this... our friends will be here shortly," said Silence as he leaned against part of the wall.

"Ja, they better be helpful... So, I have to azk... Have any of you heard about this one rebel fighter?" Asked Schloss. "He goez by the name of The King. He iz known to be up in the Coloniez..."

"Oh yeah, Werlan, we met him already," said Silence with a shrug of his shoulders. "Cool guy."

"H-He'z one of you?" Asked Schloss, a look of shock coming to her face.

"No... He's one of us... Mutated and on his way here," said Silence with a warming smile.

"Oh... He iz? Well um..." said Schloss as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Just say whatever the fuck's on your mind already," said Spire as she kept watch.

"I've only heard the storiez about him and... I want to fight him," said Schloss.

"I thought you were about to say you wanted to fuck him," said Silence.

"That dependz on other thingz. But firzt, we need to focuz on our current mizzion at hand," said Schloss.

"Da, agreed, then you can ride King," said Mirazh as she leaned back against a wall. The wall suddenly gave way, causing her to fall backwards.

"Mir," said Spire as she shot to her feet. She quickly grabbed Mirazh by the jacket, pulling her away from the ledge.

"Argh, thanks," said Mirazh as she caught her breath.

"What the fuck is that shit?" Asked Seeker as he looked down into the hole.

"Hold on, let me try something," said Schloss as she reached into her bag. She pulled out a plastic stick and cracked it in her hands. A light came from the stick, illuminating the new hole.

"Can't see shit down there," said Spire as she looked into the dark abyss.

"Let'z see then," said Schloss as she dropped the light down the hole. The light fell for a few seconds and then landed on the ground.

"Looks like twenty feet down..." said Silence as he looked down into darkness.

"What did you guys do?" Called out Valor from around the corner.

"Found a hidden place, we'll look at it after you diffuse the bombs and our friends come to talk to us," said Silence as he got up. "Hey, Mirazh, you got night vision in that mask of your's. Can you take a look?"

"Da, give me a second," said Mirazh as she composed herself. She peered into the abyss, looking at it with her night vision.

"What do you see?" Asked Silence after some time.

"A city..." replied Mirazh with some astonishment.

"A city block? Road? Building?" Asked Seeker.

"An entire city," said Mirazh as she stepped away from the ledge  "Maybe this is where the Puppeteer is?"

"Maybe... Let's wait for everyone to get here first," said Silence as he slowly dragged everyone away from the hole.

"Ja... Our scanz showed a large pocket under the city... but we did not expect thiz," said Schloss.

"Right... So, while we're waiting for the plot to move forward why don't we take the time to talk about where we're from hun?" Asked Silence as he felt the wall to see if it would collapse as well.              

"Great, I came back at the wrong time," said Valor as he walked back with the bag of disarmed explosives.

"Good, now then," said Silence as he grabbed the back from him. "We need to make this thing look like a shootout gone bad." He held Kingslayer with one paw and the bag with the other over the murky water, shooting the strap he was holding. The bullet ripped through the strap, dropping the bag into the water and sweeping it away.

"So, just make it look like a crime scene. Got it," said Seeker as he fired his weapon into the walls. The others did the same, leaving bullet holes into everything.

"Alright, this looks good," said Silence as he looked around the area, his fingers in the shape of a frame.

"Ja... I think that we should do Vertrauensübung," said Schloss as she pulled out her pistol.

"What's that?" Asked Valor.

"A truzt exercize that we do between allies. It'll help with the scene," said Schloss.

"Okay, I'm game for it," said RX as he lowered his weapon. "What do I have to do?"

"Stand still," said Schloss. She quickly aimed her pistol at him, shooting him in the chest.

"What the fuck!" Exclaimed Spire, tackling Schloss to the ground, pushing her pistol away.

"The trick iz to hit the part where it won't go through," said Schloss as she quickly escaped the tiger's hold.

"Awww," said RX as he pulled the bullet out of his vest. "I like the pain."

"You are weird as fuck," said Valor.

"Stop it," called out a voice from other parts of the sewers.

"...Who was that?" Asked Mirazh.

"I don't know," said Silence.

"Stop, shooting... The noize hurtz," said a voice. "Well no shit it hurtz uz. Well we don't need people shooting at uz. Oh, you alwayz are like thiz! WELL YOU CAN'T JUZT GO UP AND AZK THEM TO STOP! Shut up. WELL IT'Z BETTER THAN YOUR IDEA! Shut... Up... Please..."

"What the fuck?" Asked Spire, a confused look coming to her face.

"He sounds crazier than me," said Silence as he looked down the dark halls of the sewers.

"Well then... Either the dark underground city... Or the crazy voices in the dark... We're looking at one or the two aren't we?" Asked Valor with heavy fear in his voice.

"Yep," said Silence gleefully. "But we need to wait for our friends first."

"Ja... Where are they?" Asked Schloss as she looked around in the darkness.

"Who are they?" Asked Seeker to Silence.

"Um... One of them's and old friend of mine and um... You know them..." said Silence with a slight smile.

"Wait... No..." said Spire, suddenly realizing who it was. "You didn't..."

"He did," said a voice. The group turned to see a few figures coming out of the shadows with flashlights out.

"Oh, hell no," said Seeker as he held his gun.

"This was your idea?!" Exclaimed Valor to Silence.

"It was," said Ashes.
