Chapter 12: Govening a broken world
Well, I must say when I first thought of Governing a world I thought it would be all busy press button press but nope it has been petty calm as of late strange since I was watching over a war tone world.
I set in the main tower control room with some other Apokalytain soldiers working at different monitors that handled different tasks as I observed a few reports from the Furies and some other commanders.
The Furies did patrols with soldiers all over the planet-hunting rebels and enforcing the law Honestly it was a calm mission but by far the most irritating thing about this mission was how easy it was going.
Just as Mal was about to mentally rant about the mission and the cause of all this walked Alpha gazed at the new commer but instead of activating attack mode he rolled his eyes and went back to sleep.
"Oh Mal dear I think Alpha still doesn't like me much"
Mal sighed at the newcomer "My what makes you think that, could it be is disinterest in your existence"
Gasp" But Mal how could you be so mean to little sweet me, after all, I've been through here, how could I be treated like this?
Sigh "You know Grace if I didn't know you were a manipulative and vindictive actress I would have probably believed you, despite how crappy your lines were, I would have to talk to your writer"
Graced put angrily trying to make herself look cute as she stomped over to Mal's seat "I'll have you know Mal that I write my lines and might I add how fantastic they are to have inspired so many rebellions in such a short amount of time...
"Okey, okay I get it Grace I get it, So what news of the rebels do you bring?
Grace pouted as she moved closer to Mal "Oh dear Mal you wouldn't believe the horrors those savages put me through
Alpha rolled his eyes at the sight as if mentally telling himself "Oh boy here we go again"
Unaware of this Grace continued
It has honestly made my memory a little hazy, why if only I had the loving embrace of a strong and handsome prince, oh I seem to have found a strong handsome prince, sitting on his throne.
Mal didn't let his emotions show as he continued to stare at the monitor revealing different parts of the planet and its inhabitants.
He then looked at Grace who was now seated on his lap he looked over her body and it was no lie to say that by the standards of his old world she was beautiful and she was even wearing clothing that left little to the imagination but compared to someone like Barda she was a 4/10
But for now, Mal decided to finish this task now but he decided to be tactful about it, He held Grace by her hips and the back of her head pulling her in slightly closer to himself almost for a kiss but stopping just before, this was a surprise to Grace and Alpha Mal looked Grace in her green eyes and spoke
My dear Grace you must have experienced quite the savagery but unfortunately, your hardships are not yet over, but I assure you if you continue to do your job well hmm
Mal slowly rubbed his lips as he spoke "Well then I promise to do you well"
Although slightly she did blush until she stood back up turning red as she looked away
"W-well I have w-work to do so I will be excused b-but I should warn you, the rebels are planning a huge warehouse raid this evening, they hope to take supplies for the hungry.
Mal rubbed his chin in thought as Grace rushed out of the room flustered, Alpha was still trying to register what was happening. But Mal had already decided and so he began to press a few buttons on his seat revelling images of the known rebel bases on the screen, unlike most rebellions this one was easy to control because Grace had infiltrated their ranks and had gathered knowledge of them and reported her findings to Mal who would use that information to crush the rebels.
Since he had their locations it would be easy to just take them by surprise and end them, but there was a reason he was sent here to deal with the crisis, it was to crush them physically and morally what Darkseid expected him to do was to bring about a defeat so great that the people of this world would know true fear and despair.
But what was the best way to take care of them was what Mal constantly asked himself, and so he finally got it nothing says despair like false hope.
He then contacted the female Furies assigned to him Big Barda, Bloody Mary, Gilotina and Knockout
Each of them appeared on the monitor from their locations around the planet.
"Greetings ladies, you all look as beautiful as always"
Barda spoke first "Why have you called us Mal I believe we have already sent our reports for the day"
"Ohh Barda it's not that no not at all, I've come to inform you that our good friends the rebels will be attacking a very important supply warehouse tonight.
Gilotina spoke next "I see so you want us to go there and punish those worthless rats that would dare touch what belongs to our lord hahaha!!!
"Hmmm nope not what I had planned but you will have your fun, but for now you must only send a battalion of your weakest troops, and I want you all to stay out of the battle"
What??
They all said in unison and surprise as they each began to talk over each other until Barda commanded them to be quiet
"Yes, my lord!
I have decided that the best way to crush your enemies is to give them false hope so I want you to send weak soldiers a couple hundred or so but don't command them I intend for them to lose and the rebels well you know win.
Mal gazed at them to see their reactions they didn't like the plan but hid it well.
After they make it away with the goods Bloody mary I want you to follow them discreetly to their base while there contact Grace to raise their spirits about the victory have them become careless and invite all the citizens and rebels afterwards we will wait until they are at the point of zero care then...
We strike them !!!
Cut the snakes head off at once both the rebels and the sympathizers all at once
They seemed to be in favour of the last part as they went off to prepare.
I leaned back in my seat and smiled hmmm maybe I should join in on the fun Nah such small fries are beneath me.
