"So you employed a person to send he signal once you die or maybe that person who send the signal since you haven't contacted him. Am I right?" David was about to finish when Robin interrupted him. David nodded while being a little surprised that Robin spoke. Although they were all muffled, the other people on the screen were yelling at the top of their voices.
On their features, horror was evident. David looked like he had achieved some kind of victory.
"So basically what you mean is that this new instrument, which might be from outer space could call upon aliens or whatever they are and you have just given an On switch to an random person. Am I correct? And you're hoping it's an alien invasion of Earth, right?" Robin enquired. Finally, the world leaders and other attendees of the meeting were able to comprehend the entire scheme, or at least a portion of it, but this was enough to cause them to cower in horror.
Aliens? Radio signal? What the fuck is going on!
"Now that you know, hehehe. You have amazing technology, don't you? Don't you have flying cars? I'm curious to see how humanity—or you—will do in the face of the invasion. Hahaha.." David continued to speak while appearing insane. He lost all humanity after losing his family, and he appeared prepared to end humanity as he saw fit. He was speaking as if he were not a human being.
"David Rockefeller, how can you have such evil plans for others who are like yourselves. I'm not sure if you're telling the truth, but if you are, we'll stop your terrible schemes." -France
"I propose that we torture this man in order to find the equipment and identify the owner." – Germany
"Yes, we need to get at the bottom of this." – Turkey
Previously silent nations now spoke up. They had to give it their all because this was their chance for atonement. The great nations were aware that some families were excavating old locations, but they were unaware that these people had discovered this form of machinery.
And now it was in the care of a crazy individual.
"Hahahaha.. For so many days, you tormented me, yet you never learned shit. You think you can just bring words out of my mouth. I have nothing to lose because I have already lost my family. Did you not want to murder me? You must now let me leave and return to my regular life and I swear I'll devote the rest of my life to tearing you down. Hahaha.." David remarked that while laughing aloud. His current physical state didn't deter him from acting out at all because he was self-assured.
"Fuck, this is outrageous?" - Nigeria
"He is bluffing. Anybody will buckle under extreme torture." - Egypt
"He is lying for sure. There are no aliens. What a load of bullshit." - Chile.
But David was genuinely feeling powerful. Whether or not the nations believed him was irrelevant to him. In any case, it was the truth. He grinned as he turned to face Robin. Behind his mask, Robin gave him a quick glance. He indicated for the Ghost corps to go to the side. Seeing the guards leave him made him more confident and David put his hands high and pointed at Robin indicating that he needed to open the chains too. He grinned widely.
"YOL"
Everyone in the room easily heard Robin when he spoke. Before anyone could comprehend it, an orange-colored translucent wave that appeared out of nowhere from Robin's mouth passed through David's body. The subsequent events completely surprised everyone present.
David's body started burning out of nowhere. A weakly burning fire that nonetheless seemed to be melting him from the inside. Everyone in the room experienced an intense heat wave hitting their faces. David in seconds burnt into crisp. At first his skin burnt and became dust followed by his muscles and then came the bones.
The final bones vanished into dust in a matter of seconds. Only the chains were left, and they fell with a sound, rousing the terrified onlookers. The people around, including the ones in the videos couldn't even comprehend what just happened.
A small blow from the ruler of North Korea just burnt a person to ashes. What the fuck? This was beyond science. After what happened, nobody could utter a single coherent sentence.
"Humanity must now choose a decision. Since he warned that aliens of some kind might arrive soon, it is best for you to get in line and fasten your seatbelt. Your decision to live or die the way he did will depend on you. If you believe that being in jail will be worse, reconsider. Who knows, maybe when the war starts, if it starts, you might be consigned to battle and if you can survive, your crimes might even be pardoned. The meeting is over. " Robin said as he snapped his fingers. The room was once more lighted by the hall's bright light, which had returned in full force.
The people around didn't know what to make of it and the only truth they could get their hands on would be from the powerful families. Most of the world leaders were super angry. Partly on North Korea and partly what went down in the last 5 minutes. The leaders gathered nearby after exiting the hall and began conversing among themselves.
"We have to track down the person with the radio equipment." Arabian Peninsula.
"We don't even know how deep these people's connections are because they have been in power for so long." - Japan.
"I don't care. We need to find the person out before he causes another disaster. The presence of North Korea is already a hanging noose around our neck. Anytime he could pull the trigger." – Kuwait.
"No. You are mistaken. He has already pulled the trigger. Now the question is how long will it take for each of us to die." – Bolivia.
When Bolivia said those words, there was a pause in the conversation. He was accurate. All of the world leaders present were unclean, and they had been given a very little amount of time to handle the situation. There would soon be total mayhem throughout the entire world.
Surprisingly none of the world leaders ran for escape from the city but rather ran to see if what Robin spoke was the truth or not, or whatever drama happened was just a false fear provided to them.
The people from the video screens were also released and the world leaders started contacting the old families. At the conclusion, they affirmed that everything David said was accurate.
The ancient families were then subjected to a barrage of profanities in all the main languages known to mankind. They threatened to seize their money, freeze their assets, and end their power over others.
But then again, did they have the control now after Robin taking over?
The wealthy families resolved to track down the man in possession of the controller and pledged to respond once everything were back to normal. Meanwhile the world leaders reached the airport where Robin had said to have parked spaceships.
They sought to confirm whether it was accurate and they were completely taken aback when they arrived at the same airport where they had just landed the day before. Four enormous spacecraft were parked on the airfield.
The spacecrafts were all unique. And the names of each of them were written in big characters on the side. One was named Idris -K. It was a massive spacecraft with several armament systems on all sides and resembled a monster.
Hercules M2 was the name of another. This spaceship was white and appeared to have been built using their present spaceships as a basis, but it had its own weapons system, was at least three times bigger, and was overall much cooler-looking.
Aegis Hammerhead was the name of the third one. This was built to be the tank in space. A tank that was far too big, had numerous armaments, and appeared to be able to destroy everything. Hammerhead was built to be a mobile fort for the military. At least that seemed to be the motto when building the spaceship.
The last tank was smaller than the Aegis Hammerhead but still appeared more sleek and contemporary than the first two. It was quite long and had four thrusters on its back making it look like it was made for exploration purposes. It was RSI Constellation Andromeda.
All the 4 ships had been brought by Robin the previous day and was sent to Brotherhood headquarters to look into them and also find men that could pilot the ship. After looking at the ships' systems, the AI gave several Ohm bots the instructions and told them to pilot the craft. Thus after the meeting had started these ships were brought to the airport for all to see, even if the world leaders were leaving.
