Emergency Meeting (2)
Emergency Meeting (2)
"What… What is he doing now?"
"S-Sir—"
"Just answer the question, general! I will not repeat myself! Where is Moby Kane now?"
"Last spotted, he was in the city with his teammate Elizabeth… I had given them a break to rest after all they had gone through so they have no school today…"
"I see— Well, what about the rest of his team? What are they doing right now!?"
"They are in training facility A all together training I assume, that was where they last did their check-in—"
"Check their training rooms..."
"P-pardon sir?" She mumbled in disbelief.
"I said check their training rooms! Am I speaking in a different language miss Rayna? There should be hidden cameras in every training room for emergency purposes. So, I'm asking you to use them now!"
"B— but! But sir! That goes completely against protocol! If we are found out to do this in such a manner then we would lose so much trust! The military may never be the same!"
"Miss Rayna Davis… you should watch your tone when talking to a superior officer… If I deem this as an emergency situation then that is what it is! Now use the cameras and put them up on the screen!"
"B— but!" She blurted out, still unable to believe her shaky eyes, looking over towards the general's calm yet deadly glint under his furrowed bushy brows.
And before she could say anymore, she heard a voice from her side, to a colleague she knew all too well.
"Yes sir! Right away!" That man pulled out a laptop, and a massive screen appeared towards the rear end of the room with slight static.
And with great expectation on his face, the supreme general looked over behind him as the static of the screen slowly faded away into a high definition live video of what was happening… And to say that he was shocked by his findings would have been an understatement…
"What— They're… They're just meditating in a circle!"
"I'm sorry to interrupt sir, but what were you expecting… Why are you so on edge? What is it that we don't know?"
"That is none of your concern, general!"
"Then who's concern is it then? This room is filled with people from the highest echelons of all the military! What is it that is so secretive that we are not allowed to know!?! It seems to be of great importance if it's getting you this flustered! If it's for the sake of humanity's well being we have the right to know sir!"
"Watch your tone, general…"
"I apologize but— I just need to know this! Does this have to do with the case of Havel and Serena Kane!? They were upstanding soldiers! The best of the best people I've ever had the honor to meet and fight alongside! I strongly believe they were a great reason for our survival in the first war! But so suddenly, they were shunned away as though they were nothing! Their accomplishments were never recognized as though they were forsakened!! Sir! Why is that!? And is this simply prejudice from your hatred of Serena and Havel Kane!? I don't know what they did, or if it even warranted their treatment! In fact, no one seems to know!! But for certain, their child who was a mere toddler at the time of their depart has nothing to do with anything!!"
"MISS RAYNA SAMANTHA DAVIS!! CALM YOURSELF AND WATCH YOUR TONE!!" The supreme general roared, raising his voice for the first time since he entered. A pulse of dark aura escaped his body, suffocating the entire room in a miasma of pure horror to the point that some even began to choke… It almost felt like there was a sharp, dark hand of shadows hovering and rubbing against their hearts, holding the power to in an instant, crush it like a grape.
Vibrators paled in comparison to the speed some of the people sat shook at, their eyes like peas and their teeth clanking filling the air.
Supreme General Cade Walker's face was slightly clenched, and his now viper-like emerald eyes shined like a laser beam through his thick aura towards principal Rayna Davis.
Despite being the target, she remained resilient, withstanding all the anguish with nothing but slight grunting and sweat build up. However, even she at one point had to break, and bend the knee to absolute power, choking and struggling to survive until suddenly, the darkness dispersed, and all went back to normal.
"Principal Rayna Davis… Listen carefully… I usually do not under any circumstance tolerate any insubordination and disrespect… I would normally have fired you from your post and shunned in the wind… But for you, I'll make an exception… If it were not for my relationship with your late grandfather, your fate would have been the same as any other… You should not stick your nose in matters that don't concern you… All you need to do is follow commands, that is how we keep order and how we protect humanity, you should know the consequences and how it feels when someone doesn't follow orders properly seeing you have such a high rank, right general? Now, I will allow you back to your post as principal under one condition, simply apologize and promise me such a thing will never happen again…"
As though it were out of instinct, Rayna Davis found her head lowered, unable to move as she listened to the words of her superior with heavy breaths and sweat dripping from her forehead and on the ground. As he finished what he had to say in that distant voice of his, she had many thoughts going through her mind, and in the end, she responded in a strong, yet somehow jittery voice.
"Yes sir… I apologize for my abhorrent mannerisms and disrespect. I have more than learned my lesson and I promise that such a thing will never happen again… Thank you so much for your mercy and generosity sir, you are truly far too kind to give me such special treatment…"
"Good to hear!" He smiled, looking down towards her before shifting his gaze towards everyone else in the room. "I hope that message sticks with the rest of you as well. Now, let's continue on with this meeting. I will personally contact the shalker king on this matter, and I will try my best to reason with him and extend our time until the war, your findings are truly useful. Oh, as an extra command as well, I want you all to keep a particularly closer eye on Moby Kane, and report anything suspicious to me. Break the rules if you must… That is an order! Understood?"
