New World Order (TNE) [Original]

Chapter 15 - Swarm of Chaos

 "Come on, please just wake up!" Jasmine requested to the sleeping body lying on the airport floor, she had helped design the knockout gas. The gas had ended up working better than even Jasmine intended originally and she had insisted, to The Unknown and Chief that it would be better if she toned it down. The response was mostly laughter, since it seemed to work perfectly but in Jasmine's opinion it was almost too well. Jasmine imagined that there had to be another way to get through this airport without the signature of Marissa. So she began looking around trying to figure out how to cause a distraction and get through. There were a few cameras hanging from the white airport walls that could end up being a problem so she decided that she would have to deal with those first.

That's when Marissa's hair began to move on it's own. It was slow at first, but it became clear that this was not by the will of Marissa as her eyes stayed close and breath stayed regular. Jasmine was turned around looking at the cameras so she didn't immediately notice when the hair passed her a small wad of gum that it had found on the airport floor. But, the reaction when she turned around to see the purple strand of hair holding up the sugary substance was a better distraction than she could've ever hoped to create.

The Unknown and Chief were arguing about what the next course of action should be for the past hour. In the beginning it had been a fairly typical structured debate, but when a fight began to break out and Jasmine left with Marissa the whole room adapted into an energy of chaos. For Francis it was extremely difficult to stay calm, Jasmine might not have been his favourite scientist but at least she was someone to talk to when Chief got angry like this but now he couldn't even do that. The Unknown was putting up a surprisingly good fight against the chief though, surprising most of what remained of the office. It was ironic truly, the room that had just recently set out to turn the world into chaos had become an even greater chaos.

"The plan is Going Perfectly according to plan," The Unknown shouted through gritted teeth at Chief. They were clearly being sarcastic, but it made the whole room began to think.

"What actually was the plan?" the man with the monotone voice questioned with an unwavering air of superiority. Even in this situation he didn't look stressed or worried, it was like he was off in a different world.

"Well, it doesn't matter now. It won't work we didn't end up capturing the right people and now Forestville still has all the disempowered. Now York getting captured seems even more suspicious!" Chief brought up with a negative and clearly annoyed tone. It seemed that it didn't want to be here more than anyone else.

"Your stooping down to the level of adopting their town's name? Why did I ever think we were equal," The Unknown started gritting his teeth so much that a top layer of enamel came off.

"Wait, wait, calm down. This doesn't change anything we can still go forward with the plan. It might not work with those empowered but there's got to be some way that we can lure them away," Francis proposed. The whole room began looking at him with surprise, he had been quiet enough in the past hour that they completely forgot he was here. But now, the plan he proposed didn't sound half bad. Even Chief's face began to mold and dissolve into what is closest associated with a grin. Although, pinpointing the actual emotions of Chief at any one point in time is an impossibility.

"So what do you propose to do that?" Chief replied with a silky voice like stringy fabric, it's catalogue of voices seemed to have been growing over the past few weeks and it caught Francis off guard.

"Well, um. The Unknown; you lured them down there in the first place and left that letter I'm sure they'd be interested to meet you personally. They probably just see you as a nice person who gave them an underground home," Francis suggested frantically waving his hands. His nerves hadn't felt this pressured in a while and he began to miss the cave of silence had voice had once got to hide in.

"Speaking of that, it seems that they are on the way," the man with the monotone voice pointed out with an unblinking expression of stillness. The room began to quake and the orange walls began to shake the pictures as everybody came tumbling towards the windows. It seemed that a search party from Forestville had managed to track them down. The next stage of the plan would have to wait, the government had an even bigger problem now.
