Ink - Roleplay Training and Instruction Group! [MAIN THREAD]

A staging-point for declarations of war and other major diplomatic events. [In character]

Do we need an Ink 2.0? The current Ink is RIP in kill and has some serious infrastructure problems.

Yeah, because we totally need to add more classes with sections so we can have more teachers as well as a co-op because Huda is usually inactive

Ink - Roleplay Training and Instruction Group!

Disclaimer: Ink is so far an II group only. GE&T is not taught here. Yet. The logo has been designed by fellow teacher Victoriala.

Hey!

I see you've stumbled upon Ink! Welcome, really, welcome! We're a roleplay training and instruction group with one, not-so-specific goal in mind: to make RPing in NS a whole lot better. It all happened when I was feeling bored so I decided to attack read about Cybernations... vs. NationStates. People said Cybernations were more about text-based management whereas NS was RPing. So I realized that we can also help new people out. Sure, there are mentors who can help you, but RPing (and learning) with more people together makes the experience more fun, right?

We're aimed at new people trying their hand out in roleplay as well as average joes who want to make their RPing more... fine as a whole. From /people who want to carve their nations on to the model of realism to the people who want their RPing writing level to a professional one, for both practice and future use as well as so homework is easier. We here at Ink are ready to help you! You are also provided with RPs suited for both sparring (in the sense of practicing RP without help unless respected) and training so you don't get bored of the forums.

Do you feel like you've improved a lot? Feel like you are ready to move on? Not quite? Ink is always open for mentors, temporary trials / old alumni-ish nations as well as more practice if you desire. Oh, and don't forget - RP regions (with passwords, because raiders suck) which sponsor Ink will have more of a chance to accept you than non-Ink graduates if you do have a certificate provided by us. Simply put the certificate image in a spoiler below your app in any region!
Signed,
Huda.

CURRICULUM / PLANS
So Ink is like a school. We have "plans" for our "students". Students hone themselves by doing three things: sparring, which are raw RPs in which you do for fun and your skill is evaluated, lectures, where you can learn how to improve, and examination, which you can request every 30th of any month (28th in February). We are like an instruction RP group, so... Nevertheless below you, you will find the all the details of our curriculum:
  • Grade I: Grade I is for absolutely new RPers who want to learn the basis of RP. We teach Grade I-ers NS RP rules, the basis of military realism and writing. Usually this is a grade where we see your writing capabilities. Anyone can start at Grade I.
  • Grade II: Grade II is for RPers who have had a hand in RPing but they realize they can go further. This is also where Grade I "students" are promoted if their RP level seems as this Grade Material. We teach people how to write and make ideas for writing for the next level. We teach slightly advanced military realism like soldier movement and troop sizing as well as starting diplomacy like peace talks and how they end RP without arguments.
    • This RPing level is usually one-liners to 3-liners.
  • Grade III: Grade III is for slightly more advanced RPers. They are graduates from Grade I (If they are better in writing) or Grade II (if they have improved). In this class we teach stricter realism measures and encourage more writing and how to make good storylines: from troop capabilities to using modern tactics as well as how to write diplomatic events, letters and other things.
    • The RPing level is usually 1 - 2 paragraphs (comprising of 4 lines each).
  • Grade IV: Grade IV is for RPers that are more advanced; almost ready to go into the world! We teach more things like making characters more interesting for the RP; from bitter people trying to be good to sadists, RP is better with more flavor! We teach advanced things like using propaganda which is almost realistic; different forms of warfare (electronic being included)]
    • This RPing level is 3 - 5 paragraphs (comprising of 4 lines each).
    • You can graduate from this Grade.
  • Grade V: Grade V is for RPers that want to make their RPing skill the most fricking advanced there ever is. You are taught more things which can give your nation a "real" feel. We show you capping your population, making your GDP, as well as how to manage relations and make your nation "strict" and helping out on political ideologies. These are special classes that further your chance of being accepted.
    • This RPing level is 5+ paragraphs (comprising of 4 lines each on usual terms).
    • You can graduate from this Grade.


TEACHERS
Teachers are, well, teachers. They teach students; specializing from a variety of things. From realism teachers to writing teachers to sparring supervisors, the teachers are the staff of Ink!

STUDENTS

ACTIVITIES

SPONSORED REGIONS
Image

Atlas is a realist modern-day RP region with signups. They are looking for RPers. The region requires an application. Should you have a certificate of excellence, Atlas will be more considerate for your application.
Image

Greater Dienstad is a top flight roleplaying region with a long history of drama-writing. Always a nice choice, they are looking for RPers to join them in a fun and pleasant community. While a region without application, it's always cool to show your roleplay skills with an Ink! Certificate.

Error: This region's flag is either too small or not present.

Realism and RP love those two things: Realism, and RP. They are a solid pick; with flexible tech requirements to amazing activites; they even have a gallery to depict your soldiers! You need to TG to enter; no app required! Should you show your certificate, they will be more than happy to accept you.

Image

Ausozera is an extremely active region chock-full of players willing to roleplay. Even though they do not require passwords, everyone in Ausozera (most people) recognize the beautiful certification as a sign of an RPer who has worked hard.
Image

Sondria is one of the home to one of the best RPers I've ever seen. As they require the password, you may TG WA Delegate to join; and displaying your certificate boosts your chance of joining Sondria. If you love loads of writing, join Sondria!
Image

Panessos is a democratic region full of RPing and community building. As an open region, they are really friendly people and are excellent RPers if I do say so myself.
Image

Hemithea is a vibrant region of different beliefs; but together they love one thing: RPing and writing. Full of great humorous RPers, they are great people. They recognize graduates from Ink as really good writer too.


Error: Region does not have a flag or flag is too small.

Ordis is an amazing region with its own canon; meaning their own planet as well! Mainly focusing on PT or MT RPs, they are friendly bunch who at occasional times love FT and FanT RPs!

CERTIFICATES
Image

Gold Certificates can be achieved in Grade IV. They are the second (of the two) certificates available in terms of prowess. Quite a few intermediate to high-level RPing regions will accept this and it is most certainly a pretty cool bragging-rights type of thing.
Image


Platinum Certificates can be achieved in Grade V. They are the best certification you can get in Ink, and any sponsored region or even regions that don't know about Ink might accept you! Equivalent to a PhD in roleplay, the Platinum Certification gives you bragging rights as well as realizing your true potential!

Hey Kouepa, your RPing sample is pretty fine and dandy, to be frank. The writing in it is superb, and the quantity is quite a lot. All in all, I would assess it in Grade V for writing. However so I have not seen your realism (on military, on politics) in action so I cannot say as such on the matter. While clearly you are Grade IV - V-ish material, it is mandatory for all students to start in Grade I where they are asked to:
- Sample. We want to see student flexibility in writing as we give them different situations. This is the main activity for Grade 1 students.
- Feedback. Different teachers will give feedback on your writing and will tell you to focus on which aspects which you can either await for by Grade or by research yourself.
- Assessment. Done on the 30th of every month, the assessment will ask you to do a sample (which will be decided for everyone after teacher discussion.) in which the teachers determine which Grade you can be in. In a way we are strict, i.e if you are Grade V in writing but Grade II in Military Realism, you are kept in Grade II.

Nevertheless, you are accepted :) We should expect more students and probably with at least 3 - 5 more, I'll start.

Region name: Ausozera
Speciality (Ink will consider RP-only regions more importantly): Role-Play though we are expanding our sights to include Game-Play as well. We usually role-play in International Incidents though a few of us hang out in P2TM as well. Our current setting is PMT and we have our own lore,etc.
Regional security (Ink will consider regions that require forms to be filled out before entrance more importantly): The region possesses its own regional military force as well as a active Founder. We have even successfully repelled a DEN raid!

Back at the room, before the Esgonia accords on Azenyanistan independence

Image
Alexander Karten, chief of the KK
The group was still in confusion at Terten's words. "Revelation?" Rosa said before she could even mouth one more word the bespectacled man immediately interrupted.

"I'm sorry Rosa dear but i only talk to my favored workers..." Terten smirked. "Mind if you... I only need to talk to Karten." Rosa felt herself trembling, she knew this feeling with Terten, she had this when the man was giving him orders and she was about to get yelled at.

"Why is tha-" "SHUT UP I SAID I ONLY NEED TO TALK TO KARTEN YOU DUMB INCOMPETENT BITCH!" At this, Rosa immediately backed down in fright. She tried to think how she could still feel fear in the face of a man who is already locked up, it doesn't make sense, she thought. There's no need to fear him, in fact, it's the man who should listen to every word she will say now that he's capable of doing nothing. She immediately tried to think of the best insult that she can hurl at him however, Karten, who sensed rage at the woman and seeing her clench her fists made his move by placing his hand on the foreign ministress's shoulder.

"I-" Rosa squeaked only to be interrupted by Karten.

"Madame Rivera let me take it from here." He said as he sat on the chair and took the microphone.

"Alright, just answer this question... what are you planning to do with all this tesseract religion thing spreading in the bayan?" Karten pressed as Rosa and the KK security team accompanying them looked on.

The bespectacled man behind the glass only gave a smug and didn't answer.

Image
Rosa Rivera, the foreign ministress of the bayan
"I think we're wasting our time here." The bespectacled foreign ministress sighed. "Come on Gin'ong Karten... Let's leave." She said as walked towards the door and grabbed the KK chief by the sleeve but the KK chief shrugged her off. "NO!" The man protested. "I need to know what is happening here!" He said as he went back into his seat and grabbed the microphone.

"I know you're up to something...TELL ME!" Karten remarked in a tone of suspicion narrowing his look on Terten who was inspecting his nails in a womanly fashion as if he wasn't listening.

"Are you even liste-" "I HEAR YOU!.." The sudden angry bark from the incarcerated man sent some of the guards, including Rosa jumping a bit in fright before Terten regained his calm composure and cleared his throat. "Yes indeed." The bespectacled former punong said with the blank expression on his mouth immediately widens into a big grin. "But considering i am here... in this cell... How can i possibly become a threat?"

"This is pointless..." Rosa muttered under her breath before she walked up to Karten directly in front of him. "I told you you're wasting your time. Come on let's go!"

"Not in front of me..." Said Karten who drove Rosa into his side still determined to get answers from the man who obviously won't cooperate.

"You feel so threatened about me chief...." Terten said crossing his legs with the malicious grin still plastered on his face. "But to a normal person such fear is irrational. After all, you have me captured, why still fear me?"

"I have a feeling you're up to something...."

"But what is it?" Terten said inquisitively with the smile on his face still plastered making Karten think he was subtly mocking him.

"That's why i need you to tell me." Said Karten, it was these words that made the bespectacled man finally stand up from his seat and carry his chair right over to the spot of the glass which was nearest to Karten and sat. This sent spooks to some in the room, particularly Rosa who knew that Terten was behind a one way glass meaning only they could see him but he couldn't see them. The thought of how Terten could even know where Karten was sitting terrified Rosa, maybe he had eyes outside his cell?

"Listen..." Terten said in a voice so soft only Karten could possibly hear it. "People don't distrust each other for no reason. The reason why another person distrusts the other, even though on the surface they pretend to not know it, deep down inside they are very well capable of what the other person is doing based on the betrayals they have done over to the distrustful party over the past..."

He has a point. Karten thought. The chief has pretty much known what this man is capable of doing, in fact, he was a personal witness of this man's capabilities. Even though he was in prison before he came to power, he was still able to influence people like him to do his bidding. Maybe he could be doing the same one way or another to keep his little religion up in the surface alive. "That's the thing i like about you and one of the reasons i made you my security chief in the first place." Terten continued. The chief however, is clearly not impressed with this flattery. "You own a more powerful...no i wouldn't say powerful...but an above average version of this specific human instinct...Made it easier for me to purge this country of the unwanted because of you." Karten resisted the urge to punch the glass knowing he was manipulated but he used the thought of it being all but a memory of the past as measure to keep his emotions from flaring into an outright outburst. After the bespectacled man's done talking, he brings his chair back to where it was originally and sat once more to play a sad melody on the Piano.

"That's it...?" Karten said visibly dissatisfied. The smiling man simply gave a silent nod as he continued to play the piano.

"You're not going to tell me anything else?" There was no reply.

The foreign ministress rolled her eyes trying to carry the KK chief out of his seat but he won't budge. "I told you... the only thing he could threaten you with is to lure you into having a nonstop argument with this bastard. Let's go!"

"I suppose..." Realizing that he will get nothing more than empty grins and statements that will only infuriate him, Karten finally sighs and stands up. The entourage then left the room closing its lights leaving only Terten's small isolation quarters lit and boarded the train cart.

"Sheesh... what was that about?" Karten complained before he took a glance at the foreign ministress who appeared to be frowning.

"Let's just get out of here." She says as the cart begins to move forward on its tracks. Much of the trip was silent to the point Rosa and the chief had fallen asleep but a sudden jolt on the vehicle had woke up the foreign ministress.

"What happened?" Said Rosa. "How dare you interrupt me from my beauty sleep!" She remarked before she noticed the men had worried faces. "What's the meaning of this!"

"There's a problem madame Rivera..." Said one of the KK officers. "-I think we just left one of us behind." and this made the chief's and the foreign ministress's jaw drop.

"WHAT?!" Rosa said in shock looking over the track behind them she then became furious as she watched the KK guards doing nothing but simply looking at the tracks behind them. "YO! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Rosa said face palming. "DO SOMETHING!" Only then did the KK agents started to act as they frantically rushed to the control panel of the train cart only to find nothing that could stop the train as Rosa simply looked on as the KK did their thing.

The foreign ministress then sighed in disappointment as the KK had failed to realize that the emergency break of the train cart was simply a red labeled box at the rear wall of the train cart. As the KK continued to act in panic behind her in the control panel, Karten simply looked on Rosa as she simply walked towards the box that was the emergency break and pulled the red lever. There was a clear look of frustration on her face.

The train then began to slow down until it stop a minute later, the entourage in the train cart then spot someone from the darkness running towards them. "I'm not going to lie to you..." Rosa sighed whispering to the chief. "I don't have to ask why the KK lost the war in Lebanon to SACTO." She noticed how Karten took this rather too calmly as he gave a blank nod before he walked up to the agent who just went on board and was panting for breath.

"TZUN!" Karten commanded making the panting agent immediately bolt up to stand to attention. "What do you think you were doing!"

"Paumanhin po..." The agent said still audibly gasping for breaths between words. "I think my shoe got stuck inside the rail Sir!"

"Identify yourself!"

"MAGAT (Major) Hapilon Estender Sir!" The agent cried still stiff in attention with his chin pressed back in and his eyes straight forward. Karten stood directly in front of the agent smiling taking off his cap. WHACK! The next thing the entourage knew, the guy was on the ground holding his right cheek in pain.

"COMPOSURE MAGAT!" Karten said before he signaled the crew to proceed the cart back to base.


Later

After the debacle at the interrogation, Karten had left for Campo Crame yet he increasingly started to notice that many of his subordinates were giving him bad looks. He questioned them yet all denied they were giving him bad looks because they had bad blood with him, but rather, because of stress. They're lucky. Karten thought. If this were the Hukbo, all of them would had been grounded to dust by their superiors. The Kk chief couldn't help but feel that there was bad blood for him from his subordinates and it had something to do with his leadership. Preparing for dinner with some officers of the KK, an adjutant of Timente himself came to visit his office.

"MABUHAY! I came to deliver news...." Said the adjutant after he saluted holding out to him an envelop with the seal of the punong himself. Opening the envelop, horror crept towards him making his blood cold after he saw the words "LETTER FOR RELIEF" in the golden paper that was inside the envelop. He knew what it was about, Timente wants him out of the KK.

He didn't need to read it and after dismissing the adjutant, he suddenly lost the appetite for dinner thinking his successor might make an appearance in his office and decided home would be a terrible place to be in considering his father, who was also a KK chief like him would have heard the news by then and would be obviously furious at this embarrassment to think that the son of the founder of the KK had failed to keep the KK to their bloodline. He thought of the idea of staying in the hotel but he figured out it would be a bad time to spend any money.

Rosa's house, Pasay city
He decided that there is only one place he could be in.

Hearing the knocks at her door, Rosa quickly went up to open it. But she just got out of the shower so it would have been an akward sight for the former KK chief who saw that Rosa had only a tower wrapped around her torso and another one to wrap around her still dripping wet hair.

"Someone seems stressed out..." Rosa said with a smug as she leaned against the door frame and tried to flip her still wet hair sprinkling some water on the former KK chief's face which annoys him.

"GAH! Madame Rivera get some clothes on...." Karten narrowed his look. "As you wish your majesty..." Rosa playfully bowed in obedience as she shut the door to dress up. "Are you alone?"

"I'm alone... we can have a one night stand if your want. HAHAHA!" Rosa cheerily replied which makes Karten grimace a bit.

After putting dressing up to house clothes, Rosa then offered Karten to sit in her couch and he did making himself very comfortable immediately removing his combat boots and unbuttoning his uniform to keep cool himself down before he leaned back to the soft couch let out a deep groan the sounds mixed of exhaustion and frustration. "So, what brings you here?"

"There's absolutely nothing! I can't come up with any leads to what he's planning!" Karten complained.

"I wonder...." Rosa said as she went to find food in her fridge and got a big loaf of rice bread. "Wait, you're not talking about that Terten thing are you?" She said as she began to cut up the loaf and began spread peanut butter over the rice bread. Iced tea was also made by her and after she was done, she laid out the food on the table. "How can you even be sure he's planning anything?"

"I know him..." Karten said grimly. "Back at the interrogation, he was smiling gleefully, his face full of joy at his every confession about the revelation thing and how his plans were already in action. I've been with him for so long during the regime, he usually doesn't make a face like that unless he's really up to something. I believe if we continue to assume that he's not really up to something, we would be lying to ourselves..." There was a short minute of silence in the room.

"I have a theory..." Said the man. "Many years ago when Terten was imprisoned, he used certain agents to move in and out of the prison to keep the campaign of the National progressivist party going."

"Hmmmm..." I takes about a minute for the foreign ministress to grasp where he is going at as she snaps her fingers and closes her eyes trying to think of how it connects to this situation. "I know...where you're getting at! So you think Terten is in cahoots with certain people in keeping his crazy cult alive right?"

"Right!"

"But the question is Madame Rivera... Who?" Karten then leans back on the couch once again staring up the ceiling. "Who are his agents?"

"You could ask help from the criminal affairs department if you're asking for leads... It's pretty strange that the chief is the only one who would do all the investigation." Karten furrowed his brows after he just heard Rosa remind him of his current situation but he tried his best to shrug it off.

Karten just glanced at the food in front of him but with what had just happened with him, he doesn't feel like eating at all. "I'm full... but as for your idea, I have thought of it. Can i borrow your laptop? Let's get to work!"

Rosa then yawned as he just stared at Karten who immediately grabbed the laptop she gave him and started typing a request form for an appointment with the director of the criminal affairs department of the Kalihiman, Trisha Rodriguez. Eventually, Rosa fell asleep on the couch. Karten meanwhile had spent much of his time throughout the hours that followed making the letter as convincing as possible. Trisha hates him for some reason so he's going to have a hard time to convince her by casually asking.

Even when Karten realized he was still up in 1:30 in the morning (he couldn't help but procrastinate from his work with all the game Rosa has in her computer and course, porn which at one point in the night had almost woke Rosa up because he didn't realize the volume was at full blast and thought that the earphones were connected to the computer but luckily had paused the video before it could wake anyone up). Eventually, he finished his letter and saved it when it was already 3:00 in the morning but he found himself not wanting to sleep.

Wanting to see the stars, he then decided to walk outside Rosa's house trying to be as silent as possible as he tiptoed outside. But as soon as he got out, he realized it was raining so he decided to stay inside but looking towards the living room, Rosa was no longer there. What made the situation even creepier is that the room had its lights turned off and he doesn't even know where the switch is located.

He simply felt his way through the darkness hoping he would not step on legos or tacks. It would be a good time to regret taking off my combat shoes. Karten thought. After struggling through the darkness which is the living room and the hallways, she heard the sound of something pounding on what seems to be a wooden cutting board. Feeling the door frame into another dark room, he assumed this ,ust be the kitchen as he smelled condiments and the heavy stench of grease. Sheesh, Rosa never cleans her kitchen. He thought. Sounds of heavy breathing filled the dark room and the man couldn't help but begin to sweat even though it's cool inside, he knows the heavy breathing is not his. Having enough of this creepy sound fest, he slowly feels his way out of the kitchen and through the dark hallway.

"Wait the minute..." Karten frowned. "Madame Rivera? Ikaw ba iyan?" He asked stepping back into the kitchen.

"Hinde." A deep voice said. A man's voice. He knows there's no one else at home. He suddenly feels panic and frantically feels his way again through the hallway. MY GUN'S AT THE COUCH! He was literally screaming at his own thoughts. As he was through the dark hallway, he feels himself bump against something...or someone.

After backing out a bit, suddenly, the lights were on. It was Rosa. "...I heard that too." Rosa said with a frightened look on her face.

"Go get my gun over there at the couch...silently." Karten instructed as he looked back at the still dark hallway suddenly, the woman in front of him was laughing hysterically.

"HAY NAKU! THIS IS PRECIOUS! You honestly thought that was me?" Karten was clearly not amused. "Hey... come on... it was funny... Now you know i can imitate voices." She said trying to cheer the man up by punching on his shoulder. "Boop..boop."

Rosa realized the guy won't really laugh so she stopped and thought of something that he might be interested in. "Ah! I know... I fixed the gramatic errors and typos in your letter. Sheesh, you had an entire night and you couldn't even do it right? What were you doing back then?"

"Ummm..." Karten looks towards his side as he knows he spent 90% of his time procrastinating.

"You don't need to fret over sending it, i already did." Rosa said. "Yes, but tomorrow, we'll go straight up to a person i know would be of great help to us."

"Trisha Rodriguez, head of the Kalihiman?"

"Yup."

"Okay... Now let me ..." The woman stretched his body as he yawned. "Go to sleep."

"Goodnight.." Karten then leaned back on the couch as he stared at the ceiling.


The following day

The two, dressed in formal tuxes and office clothes who had taken the taxi decided it was a wrong choice considering something's going on making the traffic go nowhere for an hour straight. Traffic was smooth from Pasay and to Quezon initially but by the moment

"I something going on?" Karten asked the driver who was clearly irritated by what's going on. "Tertenites... They have taken over the streets. They're using the streets to protest about bringing Terten back into power." The two then leaned narrowed their looks as they began to notice that there far beyond the line of cars and motorists, there were indeed people protesting.

"Gagi..." Rosa cussed. "Even in Commonwealth Avenue, are they everywhere?"

Karten then went out of the car and climbed above the Taxi ignoring the driver's protests. "Madame Rivera...."

"Yes?" Rosa said as he popped her head of of the window of the taxi. Karten sighed. "I think we're gonna have to walk through."

"WHAT!?"

Image
"We have no choice."

Rosa groaned and decided to leave the taxi. The two made their way through the cars jumping over the roofs of the vehicles when necessary ignoring the protests and the hostile reactions of the motorists. Some of the motorists didn't mind as they saw what was beneath Rosa's skirt who was jumping over them. The two finally reach the protest line which was barely being contained by the KK with some managing to break through the barricade of officers with law enforcement shields.

"TERTEN! TERTEN! TERTEN! TERTEN!" The thunderous chants emanated from the crowd and echoed throughout the streets. Karten meanwhile turned to Rosa. "Madame Rivera..." He had a worried look on his face. "We'll have no choice but to break through this chaos. You're gonna have to keep close to me and never let go of my hand understand?" Rosa nodded in approval but looking in the crowd, she's afraid of what might happen.

Finally, the mob broken the KK human barricade which sends the people loose in a violent riot. All around them, smoke, screams, molotovs, boots, shoes, combs, bags, anything that could be used as projectiles were being flung by the protesters towards the direction of the policemen. The tanods in turn, fired teargas canisters. Karten kept his grip to Rosa's hand so tight to the point it will hurt but Rosa was too frightened to notice. Karten then used his left hand to grab his KK badge which he held up in the air making the KK agents prevent firing canisters at them with some standing at attention amidst the chaos.

"At ease mga katanod!" Karten cried as they made their way through the smoke and the people fighting each other.

"Grabe..." Rosa mumbled. "This is...terrifying."

"I know... which is why never let go of my hand. This is a civilian battlefie-ROSA DUCK!" Before Rosa could respond, Karten pulled her down until they were both flat on the ground as a large kwitis rocket zoomed overhead them.

"PESTE!" Karten cussed as through the smoke ahead of them, a large mob was charging towards their direction. "Get up! Get up!" They quickly went up and started to run towards the side to avert from the stampede but it seems they were also charging from the direction they were heading. They didn't need to head to the other side since they also heard and felt another mob charging from behind them. They were surrounded.

"NEVER LET ME GO MADAME RIVERA!" Karten was had to literally scream as the noise was so loud while Rosa could only let out a squeak. "Yes!"

Wave after wave of agitated and angry people went past through them each of them carrying placards which had the tesseract symbol, batons and other blunt instruments as they charged forward. Karten then tightened her grip on Rosa but through the current of people, she could barely keep on. Suddenly, there was a batch of people who noticed Rosa. "IT'S THE FOREIGN MINISTRESS! HAVE HER HOSTAGE!" "Grab her! Grab her!" Some were spitting on

"What?" Karten was at shock. "NO YOU FUCKS! LET GO OF HER!" He said as Rosa had to use her right hand to cover herself from the people who were trying to hit her. "Stop that you psychos!" The woman hissed as he tried to kick them away but to know avail. Karten decided to let go of his badge in his left hand to punch the people while kicking the people who was hurting the woman. After they were done with , he used both of his hands to grab Rosa towards him until he's got her on both his arms. Karten then wrapped his arms around Rosa and turned around to shield her from the waves of people which glanced past them until they were suddenly scattered by a spray of water coming from the side of the KK.

And they were gone, dispersed. The KK then approached them and lead them to the ambulance to treat their wounds which they didn't even knew they had because they were made numb by the terror of the riot. Smoke still fills the avenue and the KK begins to clean up the area before they open it up seconds later for traffic. The foreign ministress meanwhile tried to make glances towards the KK chief who was holding a cold compress on some of his bruises. "Did they hit you?"

"Nah... it doesn't hurt at all." Karten denied before he turned away to say "Ow..."

Rosa meanwhile began to chuckle and bowed her head. "I'm sorry for your... badge." She said as she gave him the crushed patty of metal and torn leather that was his badge.

"Nah... "

"You didn't have to drop that thing you know... i know self defense." Rosa said making Karten roll his eyes. "If i let go of your hand earlier you would had been stomped by all those people." There was an awkward silence before Karten decided to speak. "Alright, i think it's time to go to Campo Crame..."

"You know.." The bespectacled woman says between soft giggles. "I found something." She says holding out two wallets from her pockets and opens it up to reveal cash. "What do you say we go to Jollibee after this?"

"What?! Rosa that's stealing!" Karten protests slapping the back of Rosa's head.

"OW! I found it at the riot area... it's their fault they dropped it anyway. So we keep it!"

"No... Give me that." Karten says snatching the wallets from her hand. "I'll return it at once then we'll go to Campo Crame..."

"Fine... you annoying KJ..."

Campo Crame annex 2, the headquarters of the Kalihiman


I'm still the chief, but with that letter, i barely feel i'm still in charge. Karten had these thoughts going on his head as the building of Campo Crame came into their view. Nevertheless, i am still in charge so i should make the most out of this to find out the truth.

Upon entering the Camp, Rosa and Karten had to pass by many greetings of "Mabuhay!" and clenched fist salutes. Though they recieved eyefuls from several others who noticed their torn clothes and several bruises. Karten then noticed that a part of the place was a construction site, apparently, Trisha wanted to build a wall to separate the Campo Crame into two camps, one for the Kalihiman and one for the KK. Karten understood what was happening, she wants to stay away from the KK as much as possible.

Numerous personnel had asked them for their identification cards and other papers but Karten simply shrugged them off using the simple phrase of "don't you recognize me?" to override most of these personnel's authority but as for the reception area, the receptionist did not give in to the phrase and had told to wait just like the rest of the Asigna party officials who had tried to use their position to cut in the long line so they had wasted 30 awkward minutes while waiting and to make it even more awkward, the two were strangely silent towards each other each of them trying to think of a topic which would interest them mutually. The two however decided to remain silent fearing they would make the wait even more awkward by bringing up a topic which would potentially be out of the other one's interest.

Rosa however was visibly anxious thinking of many things such as her future, Terten and his awkward meeting. She decided this could be a topic of conversation.

"I-I feel stressed." Rosa mumbled but the crowd around them was too loud for Karten to hear her. "Ano?"

"I feel stressed... Stressed ako.." Rosa said having to leaning to Karten's ear and raise her voice so that it could pierce through the background noise.

"Oh!..." Karten nodded only to remain back to silence as he continued to awkwardly stare at the crowd. Rosa couldn't help but grin. A normal person would have asked why? She thought but suddenly she felt herself blush in embarrassment after thinking what she said was simply an unnecessary gesture as it would be natural for everyone to be stressed at this point given the investigation and all that. To keep herself from falling asleep in the boredom, she decided to log in to Punch through her phone.

"...Why?" Karten asked leaving Rosa raising her brow at the man's late response.

"Well...first off, i still think it's my fault your badge got destroyed and then i had a fight with several of my co workers and then Timente wants me replaced-" "Wait YOU TOO!" Karten interrupted which surprised Rosa for what he said.

Image
Trisha Rodriguez, head of the Kalihiman
"What do you mean you too?"

"I... have my own problems. But it's just the regimes fault... don't worry."

Upon hearing the receptionist call their name, the two were then allowed to proceed to an office which belonged to the person they were waiting for, the chief of the Kalihiman herself, who was filing her nails.

"Yes?" The Kalihiman chief said as the two entered the room.

"We request help from the criminal affairs department." Karten said as they sat on the two chairs in front of Trisha's desk.

"I've received your letter." Trisha smiled. "But i'm afraid that investigation on the case would not be needed."

"What? Why not?"

"The Blanco and the Braso will be taking over investigation on the tesseract cult case. It's a matter of national security." She smiled again.

"You don't understand. Terten might be personally directing this cult." These words only made the Kalihiman chief chuckle and continue on filing her nails. "He's dead." She blankly replied.

"What?" This time, even Rosa was surprised. "But..." Rosa said. "We just interrogated him 3 days ago."

"That was 3 days ago..." Trisha smirked. "2 days ago...There was a massive underground earthquake that caused the collapse of the caverns and X ray scans show that even Terten's little cell has been crushed." Trisha then pressed buttons on her keyboard and a holographic 3 dimensional cross section of subterranean Manila which shows what happened before the 'quake' and what happened after.

"The public information bureau has already announced Terten's death... perhaps you were deaf." Trisha said which makes Karten grimace. The KK chief felt his blood run cold and shook his head in disbelief. "This can't be." He whispered.

"How can those Tertenites still become a growing cult if he's dead?"

"None of your concern." Trisha says making a hand gesture that's telling them to leave which infuriates the two of them.

"I WAS FROZEN TODAY!..." And this caught Trisha's attention who dropped her file. Karten cleared his throat and continued. "...i fear...both of us had survived a riot, wasted our time with Terten and you're mock my dedication for this investigation? I'm the chief of the KK and i would know... what is the security concern of the bayan!"

"I believe..." Trisha retaliated. "That's none of your concern Gin'ong Karten... I believe your investigation is nothing more than a facade to regain your credibility as the chief of the KK. Which is why i wouldn't be the one listening since you have credibility and there's no way you're getting it back with your horrendous theories of Terten giving orders through his cell which is locked up a kilometer deep underground through a single 1 hour long railway which are the only way to connect him to the outside world...isn't that right Gin'ong Karten... or should i say 'former KK chief'?" Trisha smiled. "I know anyone in your position could be desperate to ask for contrition..." The Kalihiman chief then popped a candy in her mouth and began to chew. "...But the problem with you is that you're too desperate...you have to move on that your forces' defeat with SACTO is something that you should pay for... Now leave my office."

The two reluctantly obeyed.

Walking down the staircase which leads up to the Kalihiman building, Rosa thought of comforting Karten but before she could even do so. "Before you think of comforting me i'm going to tell you- OH WHO AM I KIDDING!" Karten dropped on his knees before he slumped to the ground .

Rosa couldn't help but sigh as she sat on the staircase beside Karten simply looking on the dejected face of the man in front of him which stood up and went down on a sitting position on the staircase too. "You didn't tell me they were going to remove you." Rosa said.

"They already did." Karten gave a sullen reply.

"This just doesn't make sense."

But Karten had enough. "I'm going home." He said as he started to walk away. Rosa however held him by the wrist stopping him. "Why are you stopping me?"

"No!" Rosa said. "It's not over. You can't just give up...Chaos is going to come in this nation and we might have the lead to why's that the case."

Karten took a moment to think before he smiled but this smile wasn't off joy or playfulness, rather, it was of surrender. "Why is that Rosa? TERTEN'S DEAD! We have no leads.. I'm finished." Looking to the side, he continued. "And they're right... I was so fixated on this nonsense of an investigation because i was desperate to save my carrier. But after the last war? Why would i even bother?"

"Perhaps..." Rosa whispered under her breath before Karten's hand slips from her grip and he walks away. The foreign ministress simply watches as he proceeds towards the line of taxis across the wide avenue.

"Sheesh... you're terrible at giving advice." The foreign ministress gripes under her breath as she goes towards the restroom. "Why did you say 'perhaps'...why can't you just shut up?" Across the hallway, some people notice her talking all by herself but she's too frustrated to her own self to even notice. She then bumps into a man who is running in a hurry dropping his items and his spectacles all over the floor. "Ah! Sorry! Sorry! Pasensya po..." He says as he picks up his stuff messily piling them up on his hand and then runs off not even minding the pieces of paper he leaves on his trail.

"Uh..excuse me." Rosa says as she proceeds to pick up the papers on the floor which is enough to make a thin book. "SIR!" She hurries along the hallway but sees the man makes his way through the crowded exit security and disappear through the crowd in the gate of the camp.

"You drop this..." Rosa screams but to no avail. "Whatever this is..." She decides to inspect the papers as she searches for a spot nearby where she could sit. "Nah... Never mind. It's his fault he dropped this anyway."

CLONE PROJECT
Rev project Test #446

Observations: Subsequent tests of the 440th have shown progress. Cancerous anomalies have decreased in nature resulting in decent subjects that have shelf lives of 30-40 years, a far cry from the previous 100 tests which could only be sustained for 5 years. The abnormal to normal ratio of Tertenoid production have also decreased from 7:10 abnormal to 2:10 abnormal. All abnormal creatures are immediately subjected to molecular deconstruction to prevent contamination.


"What the..." After that interesting read, Rosa scans a few more pages and takes a few minutes to process everything that she had just read. Revelation. Clones. Decoys and most of all... Terten. I have got to show this to Karten Jr. She thought before she sprints towards the crowd in the security and manages to break through before she slides down the rail bars at the staircase to give her a quick way to the bottom. Grabbing her phone, she immediately dials Karten's number but luckily, she sees him across the street still waiting for a taxi.

"Alex! Alex!" She shouts from the top of her lungs as she ignores the passing cars and sprints through the street almost being hit by a truck and a bus. "Madame...R-Rivera?" Karten looks to his horror and surprise seeing the foreign ministress running towards her and almost being hit by a bunch of vehicles who shout insults in return.

"I have to show you something." Rosa says as she shows the papers she is holding on his hand.

Moments later

"I can't believe this..." Karten shakes his head in disbelief and surprise. "Looks like this guy's much more far off than i thought.... Who did you get those files from?"

"Doktor Darwin." She says recognizing the bespectacled nerd whom she had bumped into earlier.

"Isn't that guy the head of the science team?" Karten asks. "I have another...theory. And it's much more far off than i have ever imagined. Before we pay a visit to this minister of science... we would have to pay a little visit to the cell."

It was late afternoon and dusk was approaching. Back at the supreme court building, the crowds still there surrounding the building but this time, they weren't shouting protests, rather, they were having a prayer vigil with candles and torches being lit. The KK meanwhile was delivering Terten's supposed body wrapped in a bloody cloth through the crowd as they were putting him in a vehicle which apparently headed for the morgue. Raised fists were being held not only by the Tertenites, but also by the thousands who were also there. The two simply dismissed them.

"Wouldn't it be funny to say if that's not going to be the last time Terten will die?" Rosa chuckled but Karten, as always, didn't even laugh as he kept a determined face. Entering the building and into the basement, Karten could already smell the thing that he was suspecting.

"Just as i thought. Gunpowder." He says. "They blew this place up...the entire cavern to cover their tracks...They want us to think that Terten is no longer a threat so the only Terten that we ever knew was killed, with tons of gunpowder." He says as he goes toward the room which once lead to the cavern.

"For the one of the world's greatest intelligence organizations this is quite incompetent." He said. "Alright... now we pay a visit to this guy...pointing towards the Darwin's name in the file."

FORMER PUNONG ERIN TERTEN DEAD AFTER UNDERGROUND PRISON COLLAPSE


Image
Metro Manila, bayan. The man who has lead the country for 7 years is now dead after an subterranean earthquake had shook the foundations of his prison cell which was located underground crushing him, the Aklan-KK chief, Jezreel Quijanto said on a live announcement to the TFC. Several thousand people have gathered towards the supreme court building to see his body being lead away from the location where the unfortunate event happened towards the Morgue to prepare it for proper burial.

"We know this man has done many things but in essence, he is a great man." Interior Ministress Faye Kabil said on a public announcement. "He will always remain to be one of the most positively controversial figures not only our nation's but also in the world's history." She said referring to the controversial foreign policy that was undertaken by the Philippines during the duration of his nearly 8 year administration which includes invading several countries, initiating a stalemate against SACTO, an anti communist alliances which he created also known as the "Axis powers" and his previous usage of the Chinese and communists as scapegoats of his political rhetoric.

He was also credited for the industrialization and militarization of the Philippines which came at the expense of the country's democratic institutions by turning it into a dominant party state. He declared war on SACTO over his decries of the Conservatization Burma and Chucara as well as the Maronite church affair which ultimately lead to his administration's downfall and his last appearance was marked with the establishment of a cult centered on the belief of "4 dimensional beings" coming to him to "proclaim mankind's future under National Progressivism".



Punungan palace



Image
Thunder and lightning flash through the capital city late in the afternoon as a low pressure area had been reported above Metro Manila and the surrounding areas. Several scores of lightning strikes struck directly on the Punungan tower at the Fort Sentro making eerie spectacles for the surrounding onlookers to see in awe. The party at the punungan palace was over and was regarded to be "fruitless" and ultimately useless other than being a show of the bayan's political and economic might. Timente declared, he had achieved his goals to capture the reputation that the bayan was still capable and was still a great power.

Timente's punong office (Currently)

Several officials of Timente's inner circle gathered around the office. KK and Kalihiman agents had been deployed to protect every vicinity of the Fort Sentro square, around 1,200 to be exact taking their posts and patrols on rooftops, rooms, hallways and in vehicles.

Timente meanwhile at his office giving out orders from his government control panel, a flat holographic laptop like device recently developed by his regime to execute orders towards the several ministries such as being able to type a communique so he could send a letter personally to other countries' foreign ministries without having to wait for the foreign ministry. "Hmmm... Whiteshore has declared martial... send a statement that we support this... Azenyanistan requests aid to their development.... send in the technocratic advisory detachment package deluxe... BABEL meeting location is finally decided upon..this is rich. Proceed with the meeting."

As he continues to give orders, a certain person comes in his office after making a few knocks. "Timente..."

It was the well known bespectacled man. Still alive contrary to what many had been told. However, only those who were inside this room had known this. Well hid snipers were all around Metro Manila ready to execute all those who were eavesdropping this well guarded secret.

"Terten..." Timente said. "It's good to have you back."

"You told everyone else i was dead... good one." He smiled as he sat on the spinning computer chair. "We need a prophet... A martyr." "Someone with a credible reputation. Someone who is fit to sway the billions."

Adriano then thought. "I think i know of a person in mind." He says holding out the picture of the familiar W***********, A******** **********h. "Fascinating. The ultimate psy ops operation. But we would need a bit of character development." He says.

"As men... we change the world." Terten holds up a clenched fist salute, apparently, he has put a new meaning on this gesture, world domination.

"...THE WORLD!" The rest in the room thundered as they held up the same clenched fist salutes including Timente.

"We'll have to wait for Babel to become successful enough and for your numbers to be sufficient for the revelation plan to be executed." Timente says.

"Does anyone know you have connections to this?" Terten says.

"Hopefully, no one. Or else, they will silenced." Timente smiles grimly as thunder flashes behind him.

Meanwhile outside, in a wide perimeter around the palace, spotlights were being flashed across the sky filling the sky with light. Certain weapons and missiles were being laid all around the palace. "Defensive protocol 5" they called it. When the two (or the thousands and one) will put forth their plan, their base of operations might become a battlefield.

Meanwhile from the distance, in a taxi headed for the ministry of science headquarters, Karten and Rosa simply look through the window towards the imposing structure which is the tower of the Punungan palace.

"I can't believe... our ultimate enemy... is them." Karten remarked as Rosa turned to the tower with a scornful look. "Whatever they are planning...it's not good and we must do our best to stop it."

Meanwhile through the underneath the jungles of Kalimantan, a giant factory rumbles through fabricating the needed amount of tools that will be used for the revelation.

Back at the room, before the Esgonia accords on Azenyanistan independence

Alexander Karten, chief of the KK
The group was still in confusion at Terten's words. "Revelation?" Rosa said before she could even mouth one more word the bespectacled man immediately interrupted.

"I'm sorry Rosa dear but i only talk to my favored workers..." Terten smirked. "Mind if you... I only need to talk to Karten." Rosa felt herself trembling, she knew this feeling with Terten, she had this when the man was giving him orders and she was about to get yelled at.

"Why is tha-" "SHUT UP I SAID I ONLY NEED TO TALK TO KARTEN YOU DUMB INCOMPETENT BITCH!" At this, Rosa immediately backed down in fright. She tried to think how she could still feel fear in the face of a man who is already locked up, it doesn't make sense, she thought. There's no need to fear him, in fact, it's the man who should listen to every word she will say now that he's capable of doing nothing. She immediately tried to think of the best insult that she can hurl at him however, Karten, who sensed rage at the woman and seeing her clench her fists made his move by placing his hand on the foreign ministress's shoulder.

"I-" Rosa squeaked only to be interrupted by Karten.

"Madame Rivera let me take it from here." He said as he sat on the chair and took the microphone.

"Alright, just answer this question... what are you planning to do with all this tesseract religion thing spreading in the bayan?" Karten pressed as Rosa and the KK security team accompanying them looked on.

The bespectacled man behind the glass only gave a smug and didn't answer.

Rosa Rivera, the foreign ministress of the bayan
"I think we're wasting our time here." The bespectacled foreign ministress sighed. "Come on Gin'ong Karten... Let's leave." She said as walked towards the door and grabbed the KK chief by the sleeve but the KK chief shrugged her off. "NO!" The man protested. "I need to know what is happening here!" He said as he went back into his seat and grabbed the microphone.

"I know you're up to something...TELL ME!" Karten remarked in a tone of suspicion narrowing his look on Terten who was inspecting his nails in a womanly fashion as if he wasn't listening.

"Are you even liste-" "I HEAR YOU!.." The sudden angry bark from the incarcerated man sent some of the guards, including Rosa jumping a bit in fright before Terten regained his calm composure and cleared his throat. "Yes indeed." The bespectacled former punong said with the blank expression on his mouth immediately widens into a big grin. "But considering i am here... in this cell... How can i possibly become a threat?"

"This is pointless..." Rosa muttered under her breath before she walked up to Karten directly in front of him. "I told you you're wasting your time. Come on let's go!"

"Not in front of me..." Said Karten who drove Rosa into his side still determined to get answers from the man who obviously won't cooperate.

"You feel so threatened about me chief...." Terten said crossing his legs with the malicious grin still plastered on his face. "But to a normal person such fear is irrational. After all, you have me captured, why still fear me?"

"I have a feeling you're up to something...."

"But what is it?" Terten said inquisitively with the smile on his face still plastered making Karten think he was subtly mocking him.

"That's why i need you to tell me." Said Karten, it was these words that made the bespectacled man finally stand up from his seat and carry his chair right over to the spot of the glass which was nearest to Karten and sat. This sent spooks to some in the room, particularly Rosa who knew that Terten was behind a one way glass meaning only they could see him but he couldn't see them. The thought of how Terten could even know where Karten was sitting terrified Rosa, maybe he had eyes outside his cell?

"Listen..." Terten said in a voice so soft only Karten could possibly hear it. "People don't distrust each other for no reason. The reason why another person distrusts the other, even though on the surface they pretend to not know it, deep down inside they are very well capable of what the other person is doing based on the betrayals they have done over to the distrustful party over the past..."

He has a point. Karten thought. The chief has pretty much known what this man is capable of doing, in fact, he was a personal witness of this man's capabilities. Even though he was in prison before he came to power, he was still able to influence people like him to do his bidding. Maybe he could be doing the same one way or another to keep his little religion up in the surface alive. "That's the thing i like about you and one of the reasons i made you my security chief in the first place." Terten continued. The chief however, is clearly not impressed with this flattery. "You own a more powerful...no i wouldn't say powerful...but an above average version of this specific human instinct...Made it easier for me to purge this country of the unwanted because of you." Karten resisted the urge to punch the glass knowing he was manipulated but he used the thought of it being all but a memory of the past as measure to keep his emotions from flaring into an outright outburst. After the bespectacled man's done talking, he brings his chair back to where it was originally and sat once more to play a sad melody on the Piano.

"That's it...?" Karten said visibly dissatisfied. The smiling man simply gave a silent nod as he continued to play the piano.

"You're not going to tell me anything else?" There was no reply.

The foreign ministress rolled her eyes trying to carry the KK chief out of his seat but he won't budge. "I told you... the only thing he could threaten you with is to lure you into having a nonstop argument with this bastard. Let's go!"

"I suppose..." Realizing that he will get nothing more than empty grins and statements that will only infuriate him, Karten finally sighs and stands up. The entourage then left the room closing its lights leaving only Terten's small isolation quarters lit and boarded the train cart.

"Sheesh... what was that about?" Karten complained before he took a glance at the foreign ministress who appeared to be frowning.

"Let's just get out of here." She says as the cart begins to move forward on its tracks. Much of the trip was silent to the point Rosa and the chief had fallen asleep but a sudden jolt on the vehicle had woke up the foreign ministress.

"What happened?" Said Rosa. "How dare you interrupt me from my beauty sleep!" She remarked before she noticed the men had worried faces. "What's the meaning of this!"

"There's a problem madame Rivera..." Said one of the KK officers. "-I think we just left one of us behind." and this made the chief's and the foreign ministress's jaw drop.

"WHAT?!" Rosa said in shock looking over the track behind them she then became furious as she watched the KK guards doing nothing but simply looking at the tracks behind them. "YO! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Rosa said face palming. "DO SOMETHING!" Only then did the KK agents started to act as they frantically rushed to the control panel of the train cart only to find nothing that could stop the train as Rosa simply looked on as the KK did their thing.

The foreign ministress then sighed in disappointment as the KK had failed to realize that the emergency break of the train cart was simply a red labeled box at the rear wall of the train cart. As the KK continued to act in panic behind her in the control panel, Karten simply looked on Rosa as she simply walked towards the box that was the emergency break and pulled the red lever. There was a clear look of frustration on her face.

The train then began to slow down until it stop a minute later, the entourage in the train cart then spot someone from the darkness running towards them. "I'm not going to lie to you..." Rosa sighed whispering to the chief. "I don't have to ask why the KK lost the war in Lebanon to SACTO." She noticed how Karten took this rather too calmly as he gave a blank nod before he walked up to the agent who just went on board and was panting for breath.

"TZUN!" Karten commanded making the panting agent immediately bolt up to stand to attention. "What do you think you were doing!"

"Paumanhin po..." The agent said still audibly gasping for breaths between words. "I think my shoe got stuck inside the rail Sir!"

"Identify yourself!"

"MAGAT (Major) Hapilon Estender Sir!" The agent cried still stiff in attention with his chin pressed back in and his eyes straight forward. Karten stood directly in front of the agent smiling taking off his cap. WHACK! The next thing the entourage knew, the guy was on the ground holding his right cheek in pain.

"COMPOSURE MAGAT!" Karten said before he signaled the crew to proceed the cart back to base.


Later

After the debacle at the interrogation, Karten had left for Campo Crame yet he increasingly started to notice that many of his subordinates were giving him bad looks. He questioned them yet all denied they were giving him bad looks because they had bad blood with him, but rather, because of stress. They're lucky. Karten thought. If this were the Hukbo, all of them would had been grounded to dust by their superiors. The Kk chief couldn't help but feel that there was bad blood for him from his subordinates and it had something to do with his leadership. Preparing for dinner with some officers of the KK, an adjutant of Timente himself came to visit his office.

"MABUHAY! I came to deliver news...." Said the adjutant after he saluted holding out to him an envelop with the seal of the punong himself. Opening the envelop, horror crept towards him making his blood cold after he saw the words "LETTER FOR RELIEF" in the golden paper that was inside the envelop. He knew what it was about, Timente wants him out of the KK.

He didn't need to read it and after dismissing the adjutant, he suddenly lost the appetite for dinner thinking his successor might make an appearance in his office and decided home would be a terrible place to be in considering his father, who was also a KK chief like him would have heard the news by then and would be obviously furious at this embarrassment to think that the son of the founder of the KK had failed to keep the KK to their bloodline. He thought of the idea of staying in the hotel but he figured out it would be a bad time to spend any money.

(Image)
Rosa's house, Pasay city
He decided that there is only one place he could be in.

Hearing the knocks at her door, Rosa quickly went up to open it. But she just got out of the shower so it would have been an akward sight for the former KK chief who saw that Rosa had only a tower wrapped around her torso and another one to wrap around her still dripping wet hair.

"Someone seems stressed out..." Rosa said with a smug as she leaned against the door frame and tried to flip her still wet hair sprinkling some water on the former KK chief's face which annoys him.

"GAH! Madame Rivera get some clothes on...." Karten narrowed his look. "As you wish your majesty..." Rosa playfully bowed in obedience as she shut the door to dress up. "Are you alone?"

"I'm alone... we can have a one night stand if your want. HAHAHA!" Rosa cheerily replied which makes Karten grimace a bit.

After putting dressing up to house clothes, Rosa then offered Karten to sit in her couch and he did making himself very comfortable immediately removing his combat boots and unbuttoning his uniform to keep cool himself down before he leaned back to the soft couch let out a deep groan the sounds mixed of exhaustion and frustration. "So, what brings you here?"

"There's absolutely nothing! I can't come up with any leads to what he's planning!" Karten complained.

"I wonder...." Rosa said as she went to find food in her fridge and got a big loaf of rice bread. "Wait, you're not talking about that Terten thing are you?" She said as she began to cut up the loaf and began spread peanut butter over the rice bread. Iced tea was also made by her and after she was done, she laid out the food on the table. "How can you even be sure he's planning anything?"

"I know him..." Karten said grimly. "Back at the interrogation, he was smiling gleefully, his face full of joy at his every confession about the revelation thing and how his plans were already in action. I've been with him for so long during the regime, he usually doesn't make a face like that unless he's really up to something. I believe if we continue to assume that he's not really up to something, we would be lying to ourselves..." There was a short minute of silence in the room.

"I have a theory..." Said the man. "Many years ago when Terten was imprisoned, he used certain agents to move in and out of the prison to keep the campaign of the National progressivist party going."

"Hmmmm..." I takes about a minute for the foreign ministress to grasp where he is going at as she snaps her fingers and closes her eyes trying to think of how it connects to this situation. "I know...where you're getting at! So you think Terten is in cahoots with certain people in keeping his crazy cult alive right?"

"Right!"

"But the question is Madame Rivera... Who?" Karten then leans back on the couch once again staring up the ceiling. "Who are his agents?"

"You could ask help from the criminal affairs department if you're asking for leads... It's pretty strange that the chief is the only one who would do all the investigation." Karten furrowed his brows after he just heard Rosa remind him of his current situation but he tried his best to shrug it off.

Karten just glanced at the food in front of him but with what had just happened with him, he doesn't feel like eating at all. "I'm full... but as for your idea, I have thought of it. Can i borrow your laptop? Let's get to work!"

Rosa then yawned as he just stared at Karten who immediately grabbed the laptop she gave him and started typing a request form for an appointment with the director of the criminal affairs department of the Kalihiman, Trisha Rodriguez. Eventually, Rosa fell asleep on the couch. Karten meanwhile had spent much of his time throughout the hours that followed making the letter as convincing as possible. Trisha hates him for some reason so he's going to have a hard time to convince her by casually asking.

Even when Karten realized he was still up in 1:30 in the morning (he couldn't help but procrastinate from his work with all the game Rosa has in her computer and course, porn which at one point in the night had almost woke Rosa up because he didn't realize the volume was at full blast and thought that the earphones were connected to the computer but luckily had paused the video before it could wake anyone up). Eventually, he finished his letter and saved it when it was already 3:00 in the morning but he found himself not wanting to sleep.

Wanting to see the stars, he then decided to walk outside Rosa's house trying to be as silent as possible as he tiptoed outside. But as soon as he got out, he realized it was raining so he decided to stay inside but looking towards the living room, Rosa was no longer there. What made the situation even creepier is that the room had its lights turned off and he doesn't even know where the switch is located.

He simply felt his way through the darkness hoping he would not step on legos or tacks. It would be a good time to regret taking off my combat shoes. Karten thought. After struggling through the darkness which is the living room and the hallways, she heard the sound of something pounding on what seems to be a wooden cutting board. Feeling the door frame into another dark room, he assumed this ,ust be the kitchen as he smelled condiments and the heavy stench of grease. Sheesh, Rosa never cleans her kitchen. He thought. Sounds of heavy breathing filled the dark room and the man couldn't help but begin to sweat even though it's cool inside, he knows the heavy breathing is not his. Having enough of this creepy sound fest, he slowly feels his way out of the kitchen and through the dark hallway.

"Wait the minute..." Karten frowned. "Madame Rivera? Ikaw ba iyan?" He asked stepping back into the kitchen.

"Hinde." A deep voice said. A man's voice. He knows there's no one else at home. He suddenly feels panic and frantically feels his way again through the hallway. MY GUN'S AT THE COUCH! He was literally screaming at his own thoughts. As he was through the dark hallway, he feels himself bump against something...or someone.

After backing out a bit, suddenly, the lights were on. It was Rosa. "...I heard that too." Rosa said with a frightened look on her face.

"Go get my gun over there at the couch...silently." Karten instructed as he looked back at the still dark hallway suddenly, the woman in front of him was laughing hysterically.

"HAY NAKU! THIS IS PRECIOUS! You honestly thought that was me?" Karten was clearly not amused. "Hey... come on... it was funny... Now you know i can imitate voices." She said trying to cheer the man up by punching on his shoulder. "Boop..boop."

Rosa realized the guy won't really laugh so she stopped and thought of something that he might be interested in. "Ah! I know... I fixed the gramatic errors and typos in your letter. Sheesh, you had an entire night and you couldn't even do it right? What were you doing back then?"

"Ummm..." Karten looks towards his side as he knows he spent 90% of his time procrastinating.

"You don't need to fret over sending it, i already did." Rosa said. "Yes, but tomorrow, we'll go straight up to a person i know would be of great help to us."

"Trisha Rodriguez, head of the Kalihiman?"

"Yup."

"Okay... Now let me ..." The woman stretched his body as he yawned. "Go to sleep."

"Goodnight.." Karten then leaned back on the couch as he stared at the ceiling.


The following day

The two, dressed in formal tuxes and office clothes who had taken the taxi decided it was a wrong choice considering something's going on making the traffic go nowhere for an hour straight. Traffic was smooth from Pasay and to Quezon initially but by the moment

"I something going on?" Karten asked the driver who was clearly irritated by what's going on. "Tertenites... They have taken over the streets. They're using the streets to protest about bringing Terten back into power." The two then leaned narrowed their looks as they began to notice that there far beyond the line of cars and motorists, there were indeed people protesting.

"Gagi..." Rosa cussed. "Even in Commonwealth Avenue, are they everywhere?"

Karten then went out of the car and climbed above the Taxi ignoring the driver's protests. "Madame Rivera...."

"Yes?" Rosa said as he popped her head of of the window of the taxi. Karten sighed. "I think we're gonna have to walk through."

"WHAT!?"

"We have no choice."

Rosa groaned and decided to leave the taxi. The two made their way through the cars jumping over the roofs of the vehicles when necessary ignoring the protests and the hostile reactions of the motorists. Some of the motorists didn't mind as they saw what was beneath Rosa's skirt who was jumping over them. The two finally reach the protest line which was barely being contained by the KK with some managing to break through the barricade of officers with law enforcement shields.

"TERTEN! TERTEN! TERTEN! TERTEN!" The thunderous chants emanated from the crowd and echoed throughout the streets. Karten meanwhile turned to Rosa. "Madame Rivera..." He had a worried look on his face. "We'll have no choice but to break through this chaos. You're gonna have to keep close to me and never let go of my hand understand?" Rosa nodded in approval but looking in the crowd, she's afraid of what might happen.

Finally, the mob broken the KK human barricade which sends the people loose in a violent riot. All around them, smoke, screams, molotovs, boots, shoes, combs, bags, anything that could be used as projectiles were being flung by the protesters towards the direction of the policemen. The tanods in turn, fired teargas canisters. Karten kept his grip to Rosa's hand so tight to the point it will hurt but Rosa was too frightened to notice. Karten then used his left hand to grab his KK badge which he held up in the air making the KK agents prevent firing canisters at them with some standing at attention amidst the chaos.

"At ease mga katanod!" Karten cried as they made their way through the smoke and the people fighting each other.

"Grabe..." Rosa mumbled. "This is...terrifying."

"I know... which is why never let go of my hand. This is a civilian battlefie-ROSA DUCK!" Before Rosa could respond, Karten pulled her down until they were both flat on the ground as a large kwitis rocket zoomed overhead them.

"PESTE!" Karten cussed as through the smoke ahead of them, a large mob was charging towards their direction. "Get up! Get up!" They quickly went up and started to run towards the side to avert from the stampede but it seems they were also charging from the direction they were heading. They didn't need to head to the other side since they also heard and felt another mob charging from behind them. They were surrounded.

"NEVER LET ME GO MADAME RIVERA!" Karten was had to literally scream as the noise was so loud while Rosa could only let out a squeak. "Yes!"

Wave after wave of agitated and angry people went past through them each of them carrying placards which had the tesseract symbol, batons and other blunt instruments as they charged forward. Karten then tightened her grip on Rosa but through the current of people, she could barely keep on. Suddenly, there was a batch of people who noticed Rosa. "IT'S THE FOREIGN MINISTRESS! HAVE HER HOSTAGE!" "Grab her! Grab her!" Some were spitting on

"What?" Karten was at shock. "NO YOU FUCKS! LET GO OF HER!" He said as Rosa had to use her right hand to cover herself from the people who were trying to hit her. "Stop that you psychos!" The woman hissed as he tried to kick them away but to know avail. Karten decided to let go of his badge in his left hand to punch the people while kicking the people who was hurting the woman. After they were done with , he used both of his hands to grab Rosa towards him until he's got her on both his arms. Karten then wrapped his arms around Rosa and turned around to shield her from the waves of people which glanced past them until they were suddenly scattered by a spray of water coming from the side of the KK.

And they were gone, dispersed. The KK then approached them and lead them to the ambulance to treat their wounds which they didn't even knew they had because they were made numb by the terror of the riot. Smoke still fills the avenue and the KK begins to clean up the area before they open it up seconds later for traffic. The foreign ministress meanwhile tried to make glances towards the KK chief who was holding a cold compress on some of his bruises. "Did they hit you?"

"Nah... it doesn't hurt at all." Karten denied before he turned away to say "Ow..."

Rosa meanwhile began to chuckle and bowed her head. "I'm sorry for your... badge." She said as she gave him the crushed patty of metal and torn leather that was his badge.

"Nah... "

"You didn't have to drop that thing you know... i know self defense." Rosa said making Karten roll his eyes. "If i let go of your hand earlier you would had been stomped by all those people." There was an awkward silence before Karten decided to speak. "Alright, i think it's time to go to Campo Crame..."

"You know.." The bespectacled woman says between soft giggles. "I found something." She says holding out two wallets from her pockets and opens it up to reveal cash. "What do you say we go to Jollibee after this?"

"What?! Rosa that's stealing!" Karten protests slapping the back of Rosa's head.

"OW! I found it at the riot area... it's their fault they dropped it anyway. So we keep it!"

"No... Give me that." Karten says snatching the wallets from her hand. "I'll return it at once then we'll go to Campo Crame..."

"Fine... you annoying KJ..."

Campo Crame annex 2, the headquarters of the Kalihiman


I'm still the chief, but with that letter, i barely feel i'm still in charge. Karten had these thoughts going on his head as the building of Campo Crame came into their view. Nevertheless, i am still in charge so i should make the most out of this to find out the truth.

Upon entering the Camp, Rosa and Karten had to pass by many greetings of "Mabuhay!" and clenched fist salutes. Though they recieved eyefuls from several others who noticed their torn clothes and several bruises. Karten then noticed that a part of the place was a construction site, apparently, Trisha wanted to build a wall to separate the Campo Crame into two camps, one for the Kalihiman and one for the KK. Karten understood what was happening, she wants to stay away from the KK as much as possible.

Numerous personnel had asked them for their identification cards and other papers but Karten simply shrugged them off using the simple phrase of "don't you recognize me?" to override most of these personnel's authority but as for the reception area, the receptionist did not give in to the phrase and had told to wait just like the rest of the Asigna party officials who had tried to use their position to cut in the long line so they had wasted 30 awkward minutes while waiting and to make it even more awkward, the two were strangely silent towards each other each of them trying to think of a topic which would interest them mutually. The two however decided to remain silent fearing they would make the wait even more awkward by bringing up a topic which would potentially be out of the other one's interest.

Rosa however was visibly anxious thinking of many things such as her future, Terten and his awkward meeting. She decided this could be a topic of conversation.

"I-I feel stressed." Rosa mumbled but the crowd around them was too loud for Karten to hear her. "Ano?"

"I feel stressed... Stressed ako.." Rosa said having to leaning to Karten's ear and raise her voice so that it could pierce through the background noise.

"Oh!..." Karten nodded only to remain back to silence as he continued to awkwardly stare at the crowd. Rosa couldn't help but grin. A normal person would have asked why? She thought but suddenly she felt herself blush in embarrassment after thinking what she said was simply an unnecessary gesture as it would be natural for everyone to be stressed at this point given the investigation and all that. To keep herself from falling asleep in the boredom, she decided to log in to Punch through her phone.

"...Why?" Karten asked leaving Rosa raising her brow at the man's late response.

"Well...first off, i still think it's my fault your badge got destroyed and then i had a fight with several of my co workers and then Timente wants me replaced-" "Wait YOU TOO!" Karten interrupted which surprised Rosa for what he said.

Trisha Rodriguez, head of the Kalihiman
"What do you mean you too?"

"I... have my own problems. But it's just the regimes fault... don't worry."

Upon hearing the receptionist call their name, the two were then allowed to proceed to an office which belonged to the person they were waiting for, the chief of the Kalihiman herself, who was filing her nails.

"Yes?" The Kalihiman chief said as the two entered the room.

"We request help from the criminal affairs department." Karten said as they sat on the two chairs in front of Trisha's desk.

"I've received your letter." Trisha smiled. "But i'm afraid that investigation on the case would not be needed."

"What? Why not?"

"The Blanco and the Braso will be taking over investigation on the tesseract cult case. It's a matter of national security." She smiled again.

"You don't understand. Terten might be personally directing this cult." These words only made the Kalihiman chief chuckle and continue on filing her nails. "He's dead." She blankly replied.

"What?" This time, even Rosa was surprised. "But..." Rosa said. "We just interrogated him 3 days ago."

"That was 3 days ago..." Trisha smirked. "2 days ago...There was a massive underground earthquake that caused the collapse of the caverns and X ray scans show that even Terten's little cell has been crushed." Trisha then pressed buttons on her keyboard and a holographic 3 dimensional cross section of subterranean Manila which shows what happened before the 'quake' and what happened after.

"The public information bureau has already announced Terten's death... perhaps you were deaf." Trisha said which makes Karten grimace. The KK chief felt his blood run cold and shook his head in disbelief. "This can't be." He whispered.

"How can those Tertenites still become a growing cult if he's dead?"

"None of your concern." Trisha says making a hand gesture that's telling them to leave which infuriates the two of them.

"I WAS FROZEN TODAY!..." And this caught Trisha's attention who dropped her file. Karten cleared his throat and continued. "...i fear...both of us had survived a riot, wasted our time with Terten and you're mock my dedication for this investigation? I'm the chief of the KK and i would know... what is the security concern of the bayan!"

"I believe..." Trisha retaliated. "That's none of your concern Gin'ong Karten... I believe your investigation is nothing more than a facade to regain your credibility as the chief of the KK. Which is why i wouldn't be the one listening since you have credibility and there's no way you're getting it back with your horrendous theories of Terten giving orders through his cell which is locked up a kilometer deep underground through a single 1 hour long railway which are the only way to connect him to the outside world...isn't that right Gin'ong Karten... or should i say 'former KK chief'?" Trisha smiled. "I know anyone in your position could be desperate to ask for contrition..." The Kalihiman chief then popped a candy in her mouth and began to chew. "...But the problem with you is that you're too desperate...you have to move on that your forces' defeat with SACTO is something that you should pay for... Now leave my office."

The two reluctantly obeyed.

Walking down the staircase which leads up to the Kalihiman building, Rosa thought of comforting Karten but before she could even do so. "Before you think of comforting me i'm going to tell you- OH WHO AM I KIDDING!" Karten dropped on his knees before he slumped to the ground .

Rosa couldn't help but sigh as she sat on the staircase beside Karten simply looking on the dejected face of the man in front of him which stood up and went down on a sitting position on the staircase too. "You didn't tell me they were going to remove you." Rosa said.

"They already did." Karten gave a sullen reply.

"This just doesn't make sense."

But Karten had enough. "I'm going home." He said as he started to walk away. Rosa however held him by the wrist stopping him. "Why are you stopping me?"

"No!" Rosa said. "It's not over. You can't just give up...Chaos is going to come in this nation and we might have the lead to why's that the case."

Karten took a moment to think before he smiled but this smile wasn't off joy or playfulness, rather, it was of surrender. "Why is that Rosa? TERTEN'S DEAD! We have no leads.. I'm finished." Looking to the side, he continued. "And they're right... I was so fixated on this nonsense of an investigation because i was desperate to save my carrier. But after the last war? Why would i even bother?"

"Perhaps..." Rosa whispered under her breath before Karten's hand slips from her grip and he walks away. The foreign ministress simply watches as he proceeds towards the line of taxis across the wide avenue.

"Sheesh... you're terrible at giving advice." The foreign ministress gripes under her breath as she goes towards the restroom. "Why did you say 'perhaps'...why can't you just shut up?" Across the hallway, some people notice her talking all by herself but she's too frustrated to her own self to even notice. She then bumps into a man who is running in a hurry dropping his items and his spectacles all over the floor. "Ah! Sorry! Sorry! Pasensya po..." He says as he picks up his stuff messily piling them up on his hand and then runs off not even minding the pieces of paper he leaves on his trail.

"Uh..excuse me." Rosa says as she proceeds to pick up the papers on the floor which is enough to make a thin book. "SIR!" She hurries along the hallway but sees the man makes his way through the crowded exit security and disappear through the crowd in the gate of the camp.

"You drop this..." Rosa screams but to no avail. "Whatever this is..." She decides to inspect the papers as she searches for a spot nearby where she could sit. "Nah... Never mind. It's his fault he dropped this anyway."

CLONE PROJECT
Rev project Test #446

Observations: Subsequent tests of the 440th have shown progress. Cancerous anomalies have decreased in nature resulting in decent subjects that have shelf lives of 30-40 years, a far cry from the previous 100 tests which could only be sustained for 5 years. The abnormal to normal ratio of Tertenoid production have also decreased from 7:10 abnormal to 2:10 abnormal. All abnormal creatures are immediately subjected to molecular deconstruction to prevent contamination.


"What the..." After that interesting read, Rosa scans a few more pages and takes a few minutes to process everything that she had just read. Revelation. Clones. Decoys and most of all... Terten. I have got to show this to Karten Jr. She thought before she sprints towards the crowd in the security and manages to break through before she slides down the rail bars at the staircase to give her a quick way to the bottom. Grabbing her phone, she immediately dials Karten's number but luckily, she sees him across the street still waiting for a taxi.

"Alex! Alex!" She shouts from the top of her lungs as she ignores the passing cars and sprints through the street almost being hit by a truck and a bus. "Madame...R-Rivera?" Karten looks to his horror and surprise seeing the foreign ministress running towards her and almost being hit by a bunch of vehicles who shout insults in return.

"I have to show you something." Rosa says as she shows the papers she is holding on his hand.

Moments later

"I can't believe this..." Karten shakes his head in disbelief and surprise. "Looks like this guy's much more far off than i thought.... Who did you get those files from?"

"Doktor Darwin." She says recognizing the bespectacled nerd whom she had bumped into earlier.

"Isn't that guy the head of the science team?" Karten asks. "I have another...theory. And it's much more far off than i have ever imagined. Before we pay a visit to this minister of science... we would have to pay a little visit to the cell."

It was late afternoon and dusk was approaching. Back at the supreme court building, the crowds still there surrounding the building but this time, they weren't shouting protests, rather, they were having a prayer vigil with candles and torches being lit. The KK meanwhile was delivering Terten's supposed body wrapped in a bloody cloth through the crowd as they were putting him in a vehicle which apparently headed for the morgue. Raised fists were being held not only by the Tertenites, but also by the thousands who were also there. The two simply dismissed them.

"Wouldn't it be funny to say if that's not going to be the last time Terten will die?" Rosa chuckled but Karten, as always, didn't even laugh as he kept a determined face. Entering the building and into the basement, Karten could already smell the thing that he was suspecting.

"Just as i thought. Gunpowder." He says. "They blew this place up...the entire cavern to cover their tracks...They want us to think that Terten is no longer a threat so the only Terten that we ever knew was killed, with tons of gunpowder." He says as he goes toward the room which once lead to the cavern.

"For the one of the world's greatest intelligence organizations this is quite incompetent." He said. "Alright... now we pay a visit to this guy...pointing towards the Darwin's name in the file."

FORMER PUNONG ERIN TERTEN DEAD AFTER UNDERGROUND PRISON COLLAPSE


Metro Manila, bayan. The man who has lead the country for 7 years is now dead after an subterranean earthquake had shook the foundations of his prison cell which was located underground crushing him, the Aklan-KK chief, Jezreel Quijanto said on a live announcement to the TFC. Several thousand people have gathered towards the supreme court building to see his body being lead away from the location where the unfortunate event happened towards the Morgue to prepare it for proper burial.

"We know this man has done many things but in essence, he is a great man." Interior Ministress Faye Kabil said on a public announcement. "He will always remain to be one of the most positively controversial figures not only our nation's but also in the world's history." She said referring to the controversial foreign policy that was undertaken by the Philippines during the duration of his nearly 8 year administration which includes invading several countries, initiating a stalemate against SACTO, an anti communist alliances which he created also known as the "Axis powers" and his previous usage of the Chinese and communists as scapegoats of his political rhetoric.

He was also credited for the industrialization and militarization of the Philippines which came at the expense of the country's democratic institutions by turning it into a dominant party state. He declared war on SACTO over his decries of the Conservatization Burma and Chucara as well as the Maronite church affair which ultimately lead to his administration's downfall and his last appearance was marked with the establishment of a cult centered on the belief of "4 dimensional beings" coming to him to "proclaim mankind's future under National Progressivism".



Punungan palace



Thunder and lightning flash through the capital city late in the afternoon as a low pressure area had been reported above Metro Manila and the surrounding areas. Several scores of lightning strikes struck directly on the Punungan tower at the Fort Sentro making eerie spectacles for the surrounding onlookers to see in awe. The party at the punungan palace was over and was regarded to be "fruitless" and ultimately useless other than being a show of the bayan's political and economic might. Timente declared, he had achieved his goals to capture the reputation that the bayan was still capable and was still a great power.

Timente's punong office (Currently)

Several officials of Timente's inner circle gathered around the office. KK and Kalihiman agents had been deployed to protect every vicinity of the Fort Sentro square, around 1,200 to be exact taking their posts and patrols on rooftops, rooms, hallways and in vehicles.

Timente meanwhile at his office giving out orders from his government control panel, a flat holographic laptop like device recently developed by his regime to execute orders towards the several ministries such as being able to type a communique so he could send a letter personally to other countries' foreign ministries without having to wait for the foreign ministry. "Hmmm... Whiteshore has declared martial... send a statement that we support this... Azenyanistan requests aid to their development.... send in the technocratic advisory detachment package deluxe... BABEL meeting location is finally decided upon..this is rich. Proceed with the meeting."

As he continues to give orders, a certain person comes in his office after making a few knocks. "Timente..."

It was the well known bespectacled man. Still alive contrary to what many had been told. However, only those who were inside this room had known this. Well hid snipers were all around Metro Manila ready to execute all those who were eavesdropping this well guarded secret.

"Terten..." Timente said. "It's good to have you back."

"You told everyone else i was dead... good one." He smiled as he sat on the spinning computer chair. "We need a prophet... A martyr." "Someone with a credible reputation. Someone who is fit to sway the billions."

Adriano then thought. "I think i know of a person in mind." He says holding out the picture of the familiar W***********, A******** **********h. "Fascinating. The ultimate psy ops operation. But we would need a bit of character development." He says.

"As men... we change the world." Terten holds up a clenched fist salute, apparently, he has put a new meaning on this gesture, world domination.

"...THE WORLD!" The rest in the room thundered as they held up the same clenched fist salutes including Timente.

"We'll have to wait for Babel to become successful enough and for your numbers to be sufficient for the revelation plan to be executed." Timente says.

"Does anyone know you have connections to this?" Terten says.

"Hopefully, no one. Or else, they will silenced." Timente smiles grimly as thunder flashes behind him.

Meanwhile outside, in a wide perimeter around the palace, spotlights were being flashed across the sky filling the sky with light. Certain weapons and missiles were being laid all around the palace. "Defensive protocol 5" they called it. When the two (or the thousands and one) will put forth their plan, their base of operations might become a battlefield.

Meanwhile from the distance, in a taxi headed for the ministry of science headquarters, Karten and Rosa simply look through the window towards the imposing structure which is the tower of the Punungan palace.

"I can't believe... our ultimate enemy... is them." Karten remarked as Rosa turned to the tower with a scornful look. "Whatever they are planning...it's not good and we must do our best to stop it."

Meanwhile through the underneath the jungles of Kalimantan, a giant factory rumbles through fabricating the needed amount of tools that will be used for the revelation.

Teachers are not Platinum; they must be students for some time should they choose.

And students that enlist are in Grade I. In examinations they are allocated to the grade that teachers think is their best zone.
