Helix Operatives: Creation

The Plan

It was dark as everyone slowly gathered again at the apartment building as Ashes and Inferno brought Kingslayer back to the building. They all gathered in the main room where Berserk and RX were freeing Valor.

"Kingslayer," said Spire as she saw him walk in, reaching for her pistol.

"Hey, hey now... I was just having a bit of fun," said Kingslayer as he was escorted in by Ashes and Inferno. "I only have until the gas wears off to be in control then Silence starts to walk around again."

"Good, how long until then?" Asked Valor as he rubbed his anterls.

"Well..." said Kingslayer, interrupting himself as he fell backward. "Oh fuck, right now..." Kingslayer's eyes slowly closed and his body went limp. Seconds later Silence's eyes shot open as he gasped in shock.

"Argh, fuck... What happened while I was out?" Asked Silence.

"Kingslayer took over your body and spent the night out on the town," said Valor. "Also, he knocked out the doctors, stuck my antlers into the concrete, and pants Ashes."

"Oh shit..." said Silence. "Sorry... Listen, I found out where the Puppeteer is, Angel is getting the full coordinates."

"Well, at least it wasn't a complete waste," said Spire as she put her pistol away.

"Yeah, but I had to go through a number of your minds to get there. I saw a lot of secrets," said Silence. "Hell, between getting there and back I probably saw all of yours'."

"How much did you see?" Asked Ashes.

"A lot. Some... really weird, some depressing, a few scary, but there was a lot. Anyways, let me just go get something for what I have planned to get to him. Valor, can you go over the plan?"

"No, I'll go get it, you give the plan since you can't leave again," said Valor as he walked out of the room.

"Right... So, anyways..." said Silence as he gathered everyone around the table. "So, this is a two-sided plan. My team will go back to the terrorist hide out, say you interrupted us and we couldn't finish. He'll get mad, say something about us being worthless mutated or whatever, and want to do it himself. We'll trick him into doing so if he doesn't want to right away. After that we lead him into the sewers with everyone else and they start planting but they'll be duds thanks to Valor. So we'll also have the Anti-Puppeteer Armor on, which will be bulky and all but it'll protect us from the debris down there."

"And that's what Valor went to go get?" Asked Nul'.

"To quote Mirazh, da," said Silence. "So, when we get down there and get settled and all you guys come in with the police. We'll have sabotaged their weaponry before so they can't shoot back but basically that's when they are arrested or... worse. After that we escape into the city, you follow us yada yada yada. We go to the Puppeteer and then we kill him. Then smoke grenades go off and then we escape... Thus, the end of this alliance."

"For now," said Ashes.

"Really? You're siding with terrorists?" Asked Cross.

"Freedom fighters. Unless you like being less that a second-hand citizen that will soon be a slave," said Mirazh.

"Can we ruin it with politics later?" Asked Berserk.

"Yeah, we can," said Valor as he brought in a number of heavy looking suits of armor covered in heavy black ballistic padding.

"Made in the back of a moving truck with whatever I could loot from the terrorists," said Silence as he held one up that was his size. "I didn't know that you had a seventh so I didn't get him one. Sorry."
