Fall of NRC!?

The Meeting

Inside an abandoned house in the slums of Afterglow Savannah, a shady meeting was held by Twisted Soldiers.

Twisted Soldiers is the most powerful and well-known criminal group in Twisted Wonderland. Founded 25 years ago by mercenary Linus Stevens, he had gained a lot of followers and brought terror to all of Twisted Wonderland.

The group committed every crime one can imagine. Some of the most notorious ones include:

 -Bombing the whole Rose Kingdom railway network, which was the first crime the group committed.

-Human Trafficking in all countries, mainly in the Land of Hot Sands and Afterglow Savannah

-Arson of the Witch of Thorns' castle in the Valley of Thorns, killing >100 and injuring thousands

-Massacre of beastmen in the Land of Pyroxene, including the grandparents of Jack Howl

-Drug trafficking throughout Afterglow Savannah, an ongoing activity

-Piracy at the Sea of Corals, ending with some members successfully captured by the marines

-Several bombing attacks in the Village of Harvest, destroying many farms and causing a huge drop in the local economy

-Robbery of all Land of Pyroxene's banks, one of their more recent crimes

-Murder of the Rose Kingdom's prime minister, their most dangerous act

-Releasing poisonous gas throughout the Isle of Lamentation, even Ortho was nearly killed

-Causing a power cut in the whole of Land of the Hot Sands, their only non-fatal crime

-Created a virus and caused a pandemic in the Valley of Horns, which took 4 years to completely resolve

-Hijacking several buses in the Isle of Lamentation

Back to the meeting, the core members of Twisted Soldiers are discussing their newest activity, probably the biggest one ever. 

"You see. Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy are the powerhouse schools in this universe," said Linus, one of the co-founders of the group and a former-mercenary. "With these two schools gone, it will be the end of all magicians!"

"Then the whole of Twisted Wonderland will be ours! Hahahahahaha!" said Georgina, one of the assassins of the group

"I'll have my pride and glory back!" said Jamie. He is the current leader and commander of Twisted Soldiers. "I will have that son of a bitch eel pay for what he had done to me!"

"There are two of them. Do you know which one is responsible for your eye?" asked Cross. He is the second-in-command, as well as one of the co-founders. "I mean, he's got a twin brother."

"I assure you, I know exactly which one is the one. He's got the black stripe on the left side and that stupid dangly earring on the left ear. His glowing yellow eye is on the left too!" said Jamie. "One I found him, I'm gonna skin him alive, chop him into pieces and make a delicious unadon*!"

*Unadon: Japanese grilled eel rice bowl

"Now now, master. Calm down and have some rum," said Mr Simpson, Jamie's secretary.

"Wow. You sure have a great memory," said Sara, who is also an assassin.

"As expected from our deadliest member," said Jonathan, another assassin and Sara's boyfriend.

"Nah. The deadliest one here isn't me," smiled Jamie. "It's her." He pointed towards the entrance of the house.

At the entrance stood a tall, slightly muscular woman with short, spiky platinum blonde hair and green eyes glowing like a panther's. Wearing a white tank top, green tight pants and black boots, as well as pink lipstick and golden ring earrings. She crossed her arms and turned her head towards the gang.

"Of course it's her! Helena Stevens!" said Cross.

"Helena, my love, come over here," Linus looked at his adoptive daughter with affection. He then signalled her to come over.

"Yes father," replied Helana. Her voice is deep, yet monotoned.

"Come here, dear. Let's discuss our grand performance," said Linus with his left arm over her shoulders.

"You mean the attack at Night Raven College?" asked Helena.

"Yes exactly," said Linus. "First, you have to collect all seven Night Stones. They're what keeps the school from destruction."

"Got it," said Helena.

"Send us a message whenever you obtain one," said Cross, handing Helena a phone. "Then keep them in this box." He then hand her over a black box with a lock.

"Of course, if you need help, we will all be there for back up," said Sara.

"Remember, take every action with caution, and kill whoever stands in your way," said Linus.

"Thanks," said Helena, without changing her facial expression. "When will the operation start?"

"Once you're ready, the show will start...tomorrow..." said Linus with a sinister smile.
