Vostojek/Lindenbrau / Fall of the Rot Einheit (closed IC)

[Lindenbrau]

Eva had been to many governmental owned buildings and this one reminded her a lot about the Peronesian Naval base. It was most certainly more high technological though. After arriving in to the great meeting room. Eva placed took place. She was surprised that she was given the first word but appreciated it a lot. She smiled and nodded. "As we all know, The Rot Einheit are working in divided groups. They are all differently named and they are all denying working together during interrogation but we know that they are actually all a part of one same organisation. I have an expert when it comes to these kind of information. Mein Secretary of Purity, a former member and assassin for the "Rote Fraktion". She was taken aside right before her execution, four years a go to. Showed out that she had been working for them because she believed that the we killed her parents. The truth turned her and she is now also the lagergeneral of our glorious pride of Auschstadt."


Eva placed a description cheat on the table.



"I can have her flown over within one and a half hour. Trust me, it will be worth the short time. While waiting, we can run through the reason happenings and look at the risks of another attack."

[Vostojek]

Revan examined the sheet in front of him. He liked the look of her. "Very well, she will be really useful. I would like to meet her." Revan gestured to a guard who went off to make the preparations. Revan continued. "Now about this attack on my capital. Clearly they could not have done this without some help from inside my government. So that is my priority, to find where the leak is. In the meantime, the city is heavily guarded and my Secret Police will be working round the clock to keep my citizens safe. So for now, I think that Vostojek is safe. Looking to the future, we must-"

Revan was then interrupted by General Marius storming in, walking with an angry expression and a killer look in his eyes. He marched right up to the table before slamming a report down before speaking. "Imperator, we have found the little rat who sold us out to the commies. That little snake Senator Filius took a payment from an offshore source and has several phone records of him talking with Red Unity leaders. He's holed up in his mountain retreat, but I want your permission to go after him and make him pay! MAKE HIM PAY FOR THIS!" Marius was visibly furious, and Revan raised a hand to calm him.

"Very well general, take the Evocati and go. Bring him alive if you can, but if you cannot do that then just kill him. Send him my regards too." Revan said coldly.

"Well Eva, looks like that problem will be dealt with. Now back to the topic. I think you will probably have more intel than us on the Red Unity so we will have to rely on what you have, but I'm aware of several outposts they may have out in the countryside. Can you tell me anything else?"

[Lindenbrau]

Helio placed the scalpel on the side table and took of her plastic gloves. "Shanger.". The man calling was Karl Hoffmeier, her secretary and meeting arranger. He had been working for her for only a few months (since she entered the government) and they had already become very close. "The High Emperor Revan of Vostojek is requesting you. They need your political advice and information on the Red Unit." Helio had never been on a state visit or a important international meeting like this. She suddenly became nervous but she knew what had to be done. "Tell them that I will be arriving within 45 minutes. I will be on the plane from Auschstadt within 20 minutes." Karl took notes and thanked her for the quick response before they hung up.

Helio was skilled but she was still not used to her new positions. Even though she had been working side by side with the nazis for almost 4 years, she would always come to see herself as that strange teenager who could never accomplish anything. Despite all the respect that she had gotten from the high command, Helio was still struggling with her own self esteem. It was a inner battle that forced her to take on a role that she was not yet feeling good enough for. She threw her lab coat over her chair and assigned her closest man temporary responsibility for the functions at Auschstadt before she got in to a car and was driven back to the Shertzer mansion to get dressed and prepare for the meeting.

Eva leaned back, with confidence, smiling as the rat was exposed. "Well now when that is stated. I suggest some food for the hungry animals at the stadium. After all, you promised us a great feast?" She smiled even more and looked over at Cicero, knowing that he would agree. "I suggest we lay low. No media, no interviews. Let's just gather all the information we can before we take it any further. Secure the borders and rise the terror security level to a 4. Take a step back and wait for the pro to arrive. You will not be disappointed. You have no idea how many lives Linden lives she has saved with her information. The funniest part is that she is not even aware of it herself."

[Vostojek]

Revan laughed heartily with her mention of the games. Revan spoke to Eva. "The games are just about finished being organised. Once this meeting is over, I would very much like you to come with me. There has been talk of little else in Vostojek! We do not hold such games often, but that means the people appreciate them more. Plus, there's no other way I'd like to see communists meet their end!"

Cicero then spoke. "A wise decision ma'am. I agree Imperator, I think a total media blackout is a good idea. Any mention to the press could allow them to know our plans, so we must keep our cards close to our chest for now."

Revan nodded in agreement. "We've found several locations of the Red Unity in our country, located on the map here." Revan pointed at the map, locating 3 isolated places. "I don't want to strike until I know what the enemy strength is, and how well they fight. Which is why your minister is so valuable."

[Lindenbrau]

One hour later...

Helio was escorted through the hallways of the Emperors palace. She was joined by Mia and Gregor, her private security team from the Linden SS. She was dressed in a white blazer, white skirt and a golden top underneath the blazer. Her copper red hair was put up in a elegant style. her blood red lips, matched the hair just perfectly. She was nervous. Despite Helios quick progress. She was still not used to her role in the government. She would always come to see herself as that insecure teen that was once a part of the bad side. She took some determined steps towards the great meeting hall. She stopped before the door and took a deep breath. Mia nodded to show her support to the secretary. The emperors guards opened the door and Helio gently stepped in. Eva got up from her seat and greeted Helio with a firm handshake and a hug before Helio even had the chance to salute her. "Glad you could make it in such short notice. This is High Emperor Revan of Vostojek." Helio heiled him and took a few gently steps towards him to shake his hand. "Helio Shanger. It is an honor to meet you high emperor.". He was majestic, just like she imagined him to be. She was shaking inside but the presence of Eva made her feel more comfortable. There was no one that she trusted as much as her führer. "Emperor Revan, This is Helio Shanger. My secretary of Purity. One of Lindenbraus true heroes.". Helio swallowed, not being sure how to take that nor respond to it.

[Vostojek]

Revan remained emotionless for a second, his piercing blue eyes looking at Helio. She was a strikingly beautiful woman, her neat and crisp appearence of her clothes against the colour of her hair, eyes and lips was something to behold. He wanted to make a good first impression, and appear as a man of gravitas. He shook Helio's hand, and gave her a warm smile. "Hello Miss Shanger. I'm really pleased you are here, Eva has told me so much about you. I hope you can help us with this situation." He gestured towards the map table, and everyone stood around it once again. Revan continued speaking. "No doubt you have heard of the trouble here in the Reich, with the Red Unity. Thousands of them attempted to take over my capital. We have identified a mole within my government, which is being dealt with as we speak. Now I must ask your advice before we proceed any further. What can you tell me about them?"

[Lindenbrau]

Helio smiled friendly towards Revan. He was all she had expected if not more. She took a few more secure steps towards the table and placed her hands in her hips and looked all over the map. "I have read all about it and I am truly sorry what happened. The Vostojekan people deserves the same peace and safety as all nations in the region." She took a deep breath and looked closer at the map. Shooting boats at a map had become one of the few things that she was actually used to by now. She sighed and started moving the golden symbols that was used as map pointers. "It all started with the man called Saava. There is no reason to hunt for a dead man so we have to find the chain of high comrades. They include "Janouch Dragostijev, Michail Molotov and Gregori Trust'ci. We are talking about hard core communist terrorists that are in charge of 4 groups, two smaller. The Rote Fraktion that we exterminated half a year a go, the Rot Einheit and Small and Big red. Te people that are bothering you are probably working for Gregori Trust'ci. He is moving around a lot but his head quarter is located here." She placed one of the pointers on the south west part of the map. "They are divided in a 5 section group and they are the one acting up against Vostojek. These groups are trying to fill the region map, That is why they are moving but a mobile terror organisation is the most dangerous. You constantly need to be two steps ahead of them. They are moving counter clock wise so there next target it......here." She moved another pointer. "You will have about 8 hours to secure the area and arrest them." She opened her briefcase and placed a folder on the table. "All you need to know about the Rot Einheit and Gregori Trust'ci is in this. He was convicted for the crime of murder back in 2009 but was freed with help from an inside man that was working at Rotenor back then. We caught the mole but Gregori Trust'ci is still free." She looked at Revan. "Are you ready to strike before they do?"

[Vostojek]

Revan and Cicero both looked at each other, and exchanged knowing glances. They were both impressed. Cicero ushered a junior senator who was also present, to get in touch with General Marius to see how his mission was faring. Revan caught himself staring at Helio again, before snapping himself out of it. "Well, thankyou for that Miss Schanger." Before Revan could continue, Cicero spoke up. "I have been informed that General Marius has succeeded in eliminating the mole, he reports that Memmius could not be taken alive, and is now dead." Revan nodded, and instructed that Marius should return back to High Command to help coordinate the next move. Cicero took up Helio's folder and began to read it thouroughly. Revan stroked his beard for a second before continuing. "I must also go with this military attack, as is our custom. I won't bring you along this time Eva, but I'm more than happy to allow your Linden SS men to remain on standby, if you think it is a good idea. I'm sure General Marius would also appreciate your help here, trading intel and preparing other moves against the Red Unity." Revan gave a slight bow to Eva and Helio, before leaving the room to prepare himself for the attack. Once he had left, Cicero spoke. "This report is really impressive, how did you get so much information?" he asked.

[Lindenbrau]

Helio sighed. She hated to bring it up since it reminded her of her past. "I was one of them...." Eva noticed that Helio became a bit uncomfortable. She placed the same info cheat about Helio (as she had done to Revan) on the table in front of Cicero. "She has done well and served the nation more then many on such short notice.". Helio turned towards Cicero. "I met them, all of them. I used to kill for them. Now the only person I kill is them. They fooled me in to believing that the government killed my parents. Saava killed mom. His men killed her and my father was forced to flee and hide. However, he lied. Just like every communist represent. They are scared of the truth and all they do is live in their fake reality." Helio totally let go of her professional attitude. "I understand why we are not allowed to join during the attack even though I would more then really love to see them fry within a sea of nationalist fire." Eva smiled and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Dr Shanger, your camp will be filled when you come back to Auschstadt. Klas Bergström is still arresting people at the SNSR border." Helio took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked at her leader and nodded politely.

[Vostojek]

Cicero smiled at Helio's passion. "Ah Mr Bergstrom, I have heard he is a very respected leader in the SNSR. A man with similar interests to us." Cicero now looked at Helio. "I'm sure our Emperor will be happy to 'donate' some communists to you once this attack is over, I think there are still some prisoners who haven't been assigned to the games yet. Ah... the games are a lovely occasion, especially with communists and traitors amongst the combatants." Cicero seemed to lose himself for a moment, lost in thought about the spectacle of the games. He then spoke again. "Once our Emperor succeeds in this attack, will the attacks stop in Vostojek? How will the Red Unity react to such a loss?"

---Revan---
Revan finished tying his boots. He stood up and looked himself in the mirror. Strangely, he always liked to wear military clothes, ever since he was a child. His blue eyes contrasted with the woodland camo he was now wearing. He adjusted his kit slightly, tapping each pocket to check everything was ready. Finally, he darkened around his eyes with a dark red warpaint, like the old custom of the first tribes in Vostojek. He left the room, and went out onto the helipad where his most trusted combat veterans were waiting. He addressed them all by name, and made sure they were all ready. Some of the veterans had families around the villages near the location of the outpost, and were both eager and nervous to fight. They all climbed into the helicopters, which were piloted by the best men in the Reich. Revan was the last to embark, and sat on the edge with his feet hanging off. As the rotors begun to spin, and the helicopters begun to lift off, he looked over at the beautiful country before him, filled with pride. As the helicopters moved off, the sun streaked across his view over the mountains, filling the place with colour. Before long, the base was little more than a speck, and Revan was ready for battle.

[Lindenbrau]

Helio looked at Cicero. She was still not 100% safe with him, not yet. Their cultural differences made her a bit insecure. He looked strict and sort of like a roman kriegsoffiser. He as intelligent though and interesting to speak to. Something that impressed her a lot. "It depends on how you respond to their attack and how you finish it. We nuked Bigtopia and we we mass executed over 13 000 of their men. They continued south and moved on to SNSR and since we are in a Military Alliance wit them, We move on with the war against them, backing Sweden up of course. You gotta make sure that they are outnumbered and that they know that trying again would only cost them their entire organisation, or what is left of it. Show them that entering Vostojek was the most stupid thing they could have ever done. This would be the end for them actually. We already ended Rote Fraktion, The small and big red are the once that we are fighting at the Swedish borders and Rot Einheit is here. If the last 3 goes down, we might actually have ended communism in the entire region, for good. Or for now at least." She smiled friendly at Cicero and blushed as their eyes met. Helio was always shy around new people.

[Vostojek]

Helio was right. Vostojek took a lot of inspiration from its Roman past, and influenced its culture greatly. Cicero himself could trace his lineage back hundreds of years into Roman aristocracy. A long line of important figures in Vostojek's history. Cicero smiled back at Helio. He had never met someone with his intellect. Revan was clever, it's no secret, but Cicero was on a whole different level. "I have seen your destruction of Bigtopia. Its very rare to see war on such a scale. We had a similar one in our fight against Brasilistan, the only time we have ever used nukes. It's no secret that I am generally against war, I don't like the idea of sacrificing our brave young men, men with lives and families, with dreams and ambitions. I've seen the aftermath of a few battles during our Emperor's ascension to power, to see good and loyal men laying face down in the mud isn't pretty. As much as I dislike the communists, I cannot help that I wish there was perhaps another way to remove them from our society."

---Revan---
The helicopter arrived at the destination. It was getting later in the day, the sun slightly lower in the sky than before. Revan and his men disembarked, meeting Marius and the other soldiers with him. Marius and the soldiers saluted Revan enthusiastically in the Roman style, before shaking hands. Revan knew all of his veterans on a personal level, they had served him for many years, and there was mutual respect. Marius spoke of the situation. "We scouted their base before you arrived, there's a good location for sniper cover. Titus, Nero, you two take up that position." The two soldiers nodded in agreement. Revan then slung his rifle over his back, and picked up a stick. He cleared a small space on the ground, before drawing a crude map of the area. He then described his plan. "We have a short march to the location. I will lead the frontal assault under sniper cover. Marius you pick four men to sneak around the right flank. Get into their base and take any intel you can before they destroy it." Revan paused for a second before he issued another, colder command. "Show no quarter men. No mercy. Spare no one." The men all nodded in understanding. "Let's go."

They set off in formation, each man alert and on edge. Walking through the lush forest, barely making a sound, they advanced quickly, arriving at the location for the attack. The snipers took their positions, and Marius positioned himself for the attack. Revan knelt down, his eyes forward and watching, like a wolf. Marius' voice came over the radio. "Ready, Imperator". This was it. Revan signalled and the men in his attack force began the assault. Using cover, they advanced quickly and aggressively. One communist solider was spraying fire to the men on his left, until Revan slotted two rounds into his throat. The Red Unity put up a solid fight, pinning the men down several times. The gap between the forces got smaller and smaller, until Revan's men were nearly on top of them. He shouted "FOR VOSTOJEK", and stood up and charged, bayonet pointed forward. Seeing this, Revan's men instantly joined him, each man roaring like a lion as they charged.

The melee was bloody, Revan parried an incoming attack from a communist, before plunging his bayonet into the heart of his enemy. Another communist ran out of the bunker, weapon at the ready. Revan let the rifle leave his hands, and drew his gladius. Before the communist could shoot, Revan hit him with the sword in his neck. Blood sprayed everywhere, covering part of Revan's face. The other men also had engaged the communists in melee, and were winning decisively. The screams of dying communists filled the air, as well as the grunts of Revan's men killing them.

Before long, the battle was over. Revan's men took no losses, and regrouped. Marius couldn't secure any intel, but Revan was far from displeased with such news. He was relieved all his men made it in one piece. This was the reason they were the elite. Still out of breath from the fight, Revan called for an extraction helicopter to return to High Command. He had saved thousands of his citizens of both Vostojek and Lindenbrau, and this filled him with happiness and pride. Now to break the news to Eva.

[Lindenbrau]

Helio suddenly got up from her seat. "I want him alive. I want the leader alive!!" She totally forgot that this was not her battle, nor her nation. Her PTSD kicked in and she needed another revenge on the red organisation that was a part of destroying her life and leading her in to becoming their best assassin ever. The organisation that killed her mother, those who lied and used her for years. Killing Saava was not enough. She needed them all dead until she could ever rest again. Eva grabbed Helios shoulder. "Dr Shanger, take it easy. With all do respect this is not Lindenbrau." I know mein führer but we need him alive, we need to interrogate him, we need all information we can get and...I... I need to see him." Eva took a deep breath. She knew that Helio was right. When it came to communists, it was only stupid to speak up against her knowledge and intentions. She tried to ignore Helios behavior because she knew that Dr Shanger was not young but also new in her position but highly professional when it came to the red units and their intentions. Helio took a deep breath and calmed down. "I am sorry for jumping up like that but I need you to get this message to the field. We need the leader alive for interrogation."

[Vostojek]

The helicopter touched down gently and powered down. Revan and his men got off. Marius kicked the leader of the communist group off the helicopter, blindfolded and his hands tied behind his back. Revan's veterans jeered, and one kicked him in the head. Two soldiers dragged the leader behind Revan as they walked into the building.

They group reached the room where Eva and the others were. Revan entered first, still dirty and covered in blood from the battle. "Hello everyone. We have won." He took his rifle and placed it on another table, and walked over to the map. He signalled, and some maids brought in some refreshments for everyone. He instructed that the men in the barracks be properly rewarded, with food, drink and a woman if they wished it. Revan took a glass of water and drank it whole. "Our mission was a success. Although we didn't get any hard intel, we managed to get something worth a lot more. Miss Schanger, if you will accompany Nero to interrogation room 4." As Helio walked past Revan, he gave her a smile and a wink. Nero and Helio then left the room. Revan then turned to Eva. "I have captured the leader of that group, he will no doubt give us lots of information. Helio has been really useful, without her, many more lives would have been lost." He placed his hand on Eva's. "Thankyou." he said. Revan was clearly tired. He still had a slight ringing in his ears from the gunshots, and his arms felt heavy.

[Lindenbrau]

Helio was impressed with Revans quick actions. She smiled politely and tried not to show to many emotions. Eva nodded towards her to show her that it was okay for her to go with Nero. Helio left the room together with Nero who led her towards the interrogation room nr 4. The Vostojekan guards opened the door and they both stepped inside. Nero was just attending to ensure Helios safety since it was not taking place on Linden ground. She kicked the chair that was placed in front of him and flipped away the table before leaning down towards the man. "Where are your manors huh? Do not one great a former comrade when you see one? Have you completely lost your mind you piece of scum?!" She pushed him backwards and he landed tied to the chair on his back. She placed herself, standing over him and grabbed his neck piece at his clothes and pulled him a but up towards her just enough so that breathing would be difficult for him. "So, where are your manors?" The man started coughing as he tried to speak "H....hh.....Heil Shanger....." he hissed. "Much better." She then dropped him back down on the ground. "Gregori Trust'ci, It was a long time a go. I see that you have been busy enough to play around with your little friends on my friends playground. To bad that they wrecked your sand castle. But enough of the foolishness. You know where you are heading anyway so you can either give me the information I need or I will let Dan take care of you. He is working on a new penicillin and he needs a female to test it on. Sadly there are no female inmates at Shertzer right now but you seem like a easy project and someone who would be perfect for a sex change while we are at it. Just snip snap and your manhood would be gone in just a second." Gregori looked at her with fear in his eyes. "I... It is only the Swedes left. They are our next target. I...I promise. That is ALL I KNOW." Helio placed her boot on his crouch. "Are you really sure?" She took out a syringe from her jacket and leaned against his throat. "Yes! I AM SURE! Please!". Helio sighed and stamped his crouch before kicking the chair once again. She then turned for the door and took a few steps towards it before she stopped and picked out her Luger. She turned around quickly as two gards lifted the chair and Gregori up sitting again and fired a shot right between his eyes. "Have the body fed to lions or something." She was escorted back by Nero, to the room where Eva and Revan was waiting.

"Just Sweden left. He promised...." she said in a cocky way before putting her Luger back in the halster. She placed herself in one of the sofas and leaned back and turned towards Cicero. "I fixed some food for the lions by the way.". She smiled like Dan had done the first time she met him, more secure then ever.

[Vostojek]

Cicero looked at Revan, with a mix of disbelief and almost fear. Revan let out a little laugh, before turning to Helio. "I wouldn't give the lions such poor meat! I'll have him put on the VSS Dreadnought and dumped in the sea at a random location." The VSS Dreadnought was the pride of the Imperial Fleet, and it was crewed by the best seamen in the Reich. "I've also been notified that the games are going to be held tonight. I think for now we can forget the troubles of war and enjoy ourselves. We have all earned it." Revan now looked to Eva. "We will return to my palace before the games, I certainly need to change my clothes" he said with a laugh. He gestured and he walked with Eva out of High Command, with Helio on his other side. Coming out onto the helipad must have been a sight. A dirty and blood-stained man, contrasted with the clean, pure and beautiful look of the Lindenbrau women at his side. They entered Revan's private helicopter, with some Praetorian Guards and Linden SS, who by now had begun to fraternize and make friends.

After a short helicopter ride, they arrived back at the Imperial Palace. They entered the building through a different entrance this time. The first room they came to was the spa area. Revan stopped. "We have a couple of hours before we need to leave. Please feel free to use any of the facilities here if you wish." They continued on to the guest rooms, reaching Eva's first. "Miss Van der Linde, this is your room. If you need anything, there will be a maid outside." Revan smiled at her before she entered her room. Helio and Revan continued down the corridor for a short time, until they reached her room. "Miss Schanger, this is you. Again we have a maid for you, should you need her." Revan gave her a smile, placing his hand on her arm for a second, before turning and walking away.

Shortly later, Revan entered his room. Exhausted, he fell onto his bed without even taking off his boots. He sighed, and rubbed his face with his hands, before sitting back up and undressing. He walked into his ensuite bathroom and looked himself in the mirror. His exposed muscular body showed the scars of many battles, and Revan ran his fingers over some of the bigger ones. He rubbed his face once again before having his shower. After his shower, he dressed himself in a brand new suit, made from Vostojek's finest tailor, and waited for Eva and Helio to be ready.
