AND SO IT BEGINS I (Ch. 117)

Duke gazes at the fading horizon, the sea waves crash violently against shore as if implicative to the impending battle, behind him is Tobi a hulk of a black teen with his ever impassive face.

"How far done is the evacuation of plan?" Duke questions,

"We're about a fourth of the fifth done boss",

"The girls?" He questions further,

"Resistant, not withstanding we got it done" Tobi nods,

"Thank you",

"It's just my job boss" Tobi states cracking a rare smile,

"Let's go finish this" Duke grins.

Standing beside himself where Dexter's very own iteration of Vin and Jhon. The hulking fair skinned Caucasian teen named Cain and beside him Dexter's very own brother, just as diminutive and quite as him, Abel,

(The time to enact the plan is nigh, once Dexter gives the order Daryun an i move to capture the king) Darwin mules.

"Sir?" The mountainous fair skinned teen called. Dexter with his sights set outside the scrapers window holds silence for a moment longer,

"Give the order" he declares.

A call from the companies line buzes through his office phone, Dexter nods, picking on his cue Cain steps forward accepting the line, a woman's voice filters through,

"Sir, you have a visitor, he requested i call him, Freelancer" she states. Again Dexter nods, 

"Let him in" Cain replies,

"Understood",

"Get to work" Dexter orders.

Silence, interrupted only by more silence, Kevin stroll leisurely pass Dexter's castle like office doors,

"I'm suprised you came",

"Likewise" Kevin replies, "it would be best not be seen together till our deal is expired",

"Agreed" Dexter replies, to that Kevin raises a brow. 

"There's been a slight change of plans" Dexter states,

,"Which is?" Kevin questions,

"Our partnership might have to be revealed ahead of planned schedule" Dexter replies 

"And why is that?" Kevin questions,

"Because there's reason to believe an adversary worth of your expertise will be thér" Dexter replies.

The evening sets on Jhevo's sky, the weather somber as the readied teens, the streets of Dealers covered in the now iconic suit shirt, trousers, and black coats. Making his way into his vehicle Cain and Abel accompany him as he watched the tactical feed of the battle and surrounding areas with airborne drones. Dexter would ordinarily have warred from several angles, but the barricades and man made gates made to surround the western road would slow advancement, little matter, this war was his to win.

An ocean of bodies, squared against the other for what would be the first clash of fists, leading his family, Duke accompanied by Tobi, Daniel and Bradley, matching Duke is none other than a strike force of Nathan, Warden, Lingyun, his long metal nunchucks wielding associate, the bear of a man a little under Tobi's six foot five in frame who the teen had once battled. Several other familiar faces follow after, Scarface, Jamie and even the executives from then CERBERUS, nevertheless one face in particular remained elusive,

(He's not here) both Duke and Dexter who assess the battle field are quick to pick,

"Contact him, Now!" Dexter order's, his instinct urging him to cover his bases, his instincts where right, a car clatters with rather obvious intent into the Rolls-Royce's front bumper, hopping out of the assailants car is a familiar sun blonde teen draped in all black, following after is Darwin with a face to kill, Cain and Abel step out of vehicle to meet the two in open combat.

Duke stares down the familiar face with undisguised disgust,

"Look at us how you will" Jamie interjects, "we outnumber you four to one" he grins, "these numbers, i like",

 I suppose there isn't much to say" Scarface comments,

"Agreed" Tobi sneers with apparent disgust, 

"DEALERS!!!!" Tobi roars summoning courage to his comrades as 'Force' ceded to his will empowering his 'Force' arts,

"ATTACK!!!" Duke bellows with thundering lungs, sharp screams and angry stamps followed, a stampede of human bodies, bot non's and Shifters alike, in a sea of necessitated passion, then the sea of black and white connected.

Leonardo and co each blur to their given destinations, each designated to hit each in teams each affiliate left standing, as per agreed with Raven as a result of the doubt in terms of likely traitors Himself, Katuro Hazukai and his aid Shingi Kitaro, they would take the newly established affiliate and move quickly to link up with their fellows. 

(Despite my protests his idea is rather sound, reacting to any sudden ambushes against the substandard resistance of this new affiliate would be most feasible) Leonardo ponders as he and co blur to their given destination, (And even more assuring, it is entirely against character), and as per his given understanding of the german emissary to accompany them he at the very least could be trusted, for the time being at least.

The second formation would consist of Ellsy and her companion Ryker to move in tandum with another whom he lacked ampt faith in, Nuwa, following her assuredly would be Chang to destroy the second affiliate and last but not least the third group holding another very likely traitor, Matteo and his secretary Lara would follow the pair Juan and Arturo,

(Even if he us a traitor, i doubt he'd show his interests so soon, and certainly not under these given circumstances, the bastard is as sly as a fox that one, for now, he'll stay his hand).

"Raven!" Jayson calls, the white eyed teen seated in a lotus position with a body encompassed with scalding ice gave credence to the call as his eyes open lethargically, 

"It's time",

(Mari and Dennis should be making their way over there now) he ponders, "Jay where's Konan?" Raven questions,

"He's already moved into west Jhevo with the boys, any moment of delay and Dealers loose",

"Let's go" (today it ends, the madness of crews ends!).

Jhon strolls leisurely through the bustling streets, even now he is a ways away from the happening conflict, nevertheless his steps are even, unhurried and without inhibition, 

"I wonder how those kids i thought are doing" he ponders, "no matter, my only job is to keep and seniors adepts from interfering" he mumbles with his cheeks stuffed as he chews leisurely on his burger.

Konan leads the RELENTLESS members in provided vans through the bustling city streets of Jhevo to avoid suspicion, their first mission before they could rendevous with the their main force and assists DEALERS, the mission however is if paramount importance and it would be to cut the enemies sights off,

(The drones), Infront of him was a tablet displaying the current live locations for the twenty five spectating drones surrounding the battlefield and it's surrounding areas, 

(Simply destroying them would be much easier but we need to capture a better majority of them and give manual access to Klaus) Konan ponders, (the only way we'll make it in time us to split the search and capture force up) he concludes,

"Wang!" He calls through the connected intercom, "have Jon and larry lead the following two groups to the east and west of the battlegrounds respectively, have them move fast and rendevous with us at central, the boss is on his way" he grins.
