《ADEPTAVERSE》30 - Empire of Darkness Arc: The Kalamitus Part 1
Advertisement
Trench was sat at a huge roundtable in a room with red walls and black carpet. Behind him were wooden doors to the entrance of the room and in front of him were five other figures sat around the same table. Trench gently pushed a curtain of his blonde hair to the side and exhaled.
"I am sure you are all well aware of the recent retaliations by the citizens of this city." He said, intertwining his fingers before his face and leaning on the table with his elbows.
"Keh, cus you killed all those prisoners, yeh?"
A brute of a human man said, having short brown hair and brown eyes. He looked to be in his mid-thirties having a vertical scar across his left eye. He was wearing a gray fox fur coat with a black top underneath, also wearing a pair of black cargo trousers. He was obviously the tallest compared to the others and the physically strongest.
"Yes. They are retaliating in anger...the opposite reaction of what the officials wanted and expected."
An elven woman spoke out in a skin-tight black steel armor that covered her whole body with black hair tied into a ponytail wearing red eyeliner and red eyeshadow. On her waist were two tantos.
"Hm."
Krow sat with his plague doctor mask and a black hooded trenchcoat on. His hood was down causing his long black hair to trail a quarter way down his back. His arms were crossed.
"Just tell us what to do~"
A wolven woman in a turtle neck sat down with dark gray jeans that were ripped at the knees said sensually. She had red snake looking eye contacts and brown hair that reached down to her shoulders.
And finally, a young man with short brown hair sat opposite Trench on the round table. He was wearing a black short military jacket which had an undone zip, showing a brown top underneath. He had deadpan blue eyes with bags underneath. He didn't say a word.

Trench thought for a second before talking to the group before him; the Kalamitus.
"Within ten minutes of the broadcast four Zones were overtaken by the new rebels, now..almost an hour later, twelve Zones are in fighting between the rebels and the Wolven Imperial Government. That is just under half of the 26 Zones."
"So you want us to help take back all twelve zones?"
The brute said with a slight grin.
"Precisely..the army, in time, could take back the Zones in a matter of weeks. Their use of rocket launchers and mines is preventing us from using tanks and helicopters however, they have all the angles set up on the rooftops." Trench said, looking over at the woman with snake eyes as she spoke;
"What about jets? Can't you bomb the Zones they are in? Maybe send in some Battle-Magikans..."
She said, leaning back in her chair with a sadistic smirk.
"We already did send in Magikans and they are forced to use supportive magik on their soldiers whilst the soldiers use lethal weaponry against the rebels. Having them use lethal magik is a waste of time when we have more men on the ground with rifles and explosives. And jets...is out of the question. The spaces they hide in are too tight and may cause collateral damage to other Zones that aren't being fought over." Trench explained to the group.
"You'll all be assigned to a Zone, and you will take back said Zone you are assigned to. After that, you will move on to a second zone. At the moment twelve zones are in conflict...there are five of you, so you will all help clear two Zones out each. And after ten have been taken back under Imperial control, the last two will be a team effort between all of you."

Trench looked up at the group.
"Skar..."
He looked at the brutish man.
"You will take back Zone One."
"Ruby..."
He looked at the woman in the skin-tight armor with two tantos.
"You will take back Zone Fifteen."
"Lilith..."
He looked at the crude woman with the snake eyes.
"You will take back Zone Eight."
"Krow...you will take back Zone Seventeen."
"Kruger..."
He looked at the young man with deadpan blue eyes.
"Zone Six."
The Kalamitus all nodded.
"After you have taken back these Zones, I will assign you all to your second set. After that all that remains is the last two Zones; Twelve Zones in total." Trench stood up, as did the Kalamitus.
"This will be no problem using your Braveyes.....Am I correct?"
The Kalamitus' eyes suddenly shined out various colors: Krow's were dark blue through his mask, Kruger's orange, Skar's silver, Ruby's purple, and Lilith's pink.
"The Emperor's gift given to all of you may assure your objective to be completed. May your wants and needs strengthen you."

The Fundamentals
You hear of many tales out there. Some depict worthy heroes wielding tremendous power, noble personas that fight to save the lives of their close friends, family, and all the rest. Good triumphs over evil, that is simply the way the world works, no? While this premise is something inherent to nearly all stories, what exactly the heroes used to attain success can differ greatly. Perhaps they've trained themselves to the limit, pushing past boundaries nobody else could hope to achieve. Others still, have merely inherited the grand legacy of another legendary being, but what they have done with such a legacy would cause their names to be passed on for generations. Rowan is one of the heroes who have ventured beyond the horizon, tempering themselves on a perilous journey all the while and succeeding in attaining strength beyond measure. However, in an unexpected turn of events, this strength caused him to tear open and fall through a hole in the realm he resided in. Now he has ended up in a completely foreign realm, whose inhabitants utilized strange powers that eclipsed his own. Fortune would smile upon him this day, however, as he discovered that they were not hostile, and even offered to teach him their ways. Rowan could see that this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and eagerly accepted their invitation to learn what would come to be known as: The Fundamentals.
