Brock's Spotlight

After explaining the bloodshed behind Leo's walls, the people began to question Leopold's intentions. He was understanding after his captains explained the situation. Little did they all know, this all way a ploy from the Reapers to undermine Leopold's regime. With all the speculation, Leopold decided to train "advanced" soldiers, calling them "The Pride."

"All these lion names and puns are starting to make me sick." Brock mumbled to himself.

Leonardo looked at him, "Remember who you're walking with. We may be close but I won't take insults like that lightly."

"Yeah yeah yeah." Brock said waving him off.

Brock, Leonardo, and Anna were watching The Pride train. Leopold decided that since Brock leads their armies and Anna controls a scout order (also her sisters), (Y/N) would control a squad of elite soldiers. They would be used to guard the keep so that more soldiers can patrol the streets. In "situational" circumstances, some of them would be deployed into combat as well. (Y/N) didn't mind the extra work, however he was worried that it would take time away from his main task.

Over half a year had passed and they had well over 300 elite soldiers. More soldiers were able to patrol the streets which brought general crime down. Despite their internal growth, the Reapers were building their army.

"Leonardo!" Leopold's voice echoed throughout the keep.

Leonardo came running to find his father. "Yes?" He said in a worried tone.

"I need to have a word with you and the captains. I'll go get (Y/N) while you go get Anna and Brock. All of you need to get to the war room. NOW!" Leopold said heading immediately out with an escort of two elites. The elites were about strong enough as five soldiers while the captains were about as strong as 20. They bore higher quality armor, possessed larger weapons, and were overall larger in size than normal people.

Leonardo began to walk swiftly to find his comrades but realized Anna was already in the area; not necessarily snooping but overheard the message. Leonardo stopped and she nodded at him before taking her time towards the arranged meeting place.

(Y/N) was with his new "army," watching their training and correcting their mistakes. At that time, they were all in pairs and punching each other in the stomach to build up their tolerance and core.

"(Y/N)! War room! NOW!" Leopold's voice echoed over the entire training ground, turning a lot of heads.

The lawbringer noticed the urgency in his voice and placed an officer in charge and headed there swiftly. Leonardo went to find Brock. Upon finding Brock, Leonardo noticed something was wrong.

"Brock, Leopold ordered us to meet in the war room..." Leonardo said trying to put duties before feelings.

Brock was sitting in the barracks in his armor and just staring into space. Nobody could tell what people were thinking behind helmets but it was obvious to Leonardo. Brock was usually either training, fighting, or drinking.

Leonardo approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Something on your mind?"

Brock took a moment to respond. "Just remembering some unfavorable memories."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Leonardo offered.

"...." Brock stood up. "Let's just go see what Leopold wants."

Leonardo wanted to prod and help but he decided to save it for later. Once the two made it inside, the briefing began.

"We have an emergency. I have reports that the Reapers are putting together two armies. We don't know what they are planning but we alerted the Phoenix' and they are preparing their defenses. My advisers and I have been trying to come up with reasons for the attack but we haven't stuck with anything yet.  We have an estimate that they will deploy within a month and a half. I want you all to put together about 4000 troops."
