Chapter 9 - Omega: Differences, Awkwardness and Secret Plans

The office of Alexander Stephenson was located in Milton just west of Brisbane. Located within a cluster of buildings both new, old and sophisticated, it stands outright with all the logos and slogans most politicians decide would be best to try and lure potential voters into being interested in hearing said politician's views. Alexander's office has been abandoned after he disappeared, due to the massive news break about him being involved as the leader of the Cult of Confederacy. Almost everyone just upped and left due to a massive cyclone coming their way, leaving the office completely untouched since then.

Omega Magnus lands with a recovery roll just outside the building. It is 11:30pm at night. Not that many people would be out at that time, especially with a dangerous cult at large. Omega surveys the area, not a soul in sight. No civilians to look out for should Ariel decide to go on a murderous rampage. Omega looks inside the office from outside. One soul roams around the abandoned office.

"Must be her…" Omega takes a deep breath and opens the front door. The lock and handle are broken, Ariel having broke the lock and handle earlier with her strength to gain access to the office.

Omega walks into the office space. Filled with office desks, desk chairs, filing cabinets, a lot of paperwork everyone along with posters and banners with Alexander Stephenson's name and face plastered all over, it's the perfect example of a politician completely crazed with winning an election by any means.

Ariel Magnus stands at a desk looking it over. Omega walks over slowly.

"You came." Ariel says without turning around, as if having eyes on the back of her head.

"Yeah. You texted?" Magnus asks, being straight to the point.

"You want more information on Alexander?" Ariel points at the desk she was going over. It happens to be Alexander Stephenson's desk.

Omega surveys some of the paperwork that are scattered upon the desk.

"Looks like a lot of racist, bigotry and homophobic memoirs." Omega keeps looking over the desk, until he finds a drawer in the desk that has a electronic code lock.

Omega pulls hard on the handle, and the code lock breaks off.

"You didn't try to crack it?" Ariel asks,

"I like cracking old-fashioned safes better." Omega replies, "But I'm on a time limit here."

Omega looks through the drawer. He finds a notebook and proceeds to open it.

Omega reads the notebook over.

"My God!" Magnus is shocked with what he's reading, "How many recruits does this guy have?"

"A lot more than you think…" Ariel chimes in,

Omega keeps reading.

"Is this an abduction plan?" Magnus to be even more shocked. "Immigrants, religious people such as Jews and Muslims, gays… What the hell is this supposed to be for?"

"Apparently Alexander is a millionaire. He inherited his parents fortune illegally." Ariel goes on, "He secretly modified their will and organised for his parents to be killed in a plane crash."

"He killed his parents and a whole bunch of other people just to get his hands on a massive fortune?"

"This happened five years ago. This whole ordeal he's been doing, he's been planning for years. He's so committed and loyal to his confederacy views that he's determined to make a physical example of ensuring people look towards Confederacy as the way forward. The amount of recruits he's gotten over the last three years exceeds 200, more than enough for a private army."

"He's going to try and take the country by force?"

"Yeah… Makes me look like a crazy chick looking for attention."

"All for a freaking political view?"

"You have no idea how far people are willing to go for the sake of politics."

The intention of Alexander Stephenson to introduce extreme Confederacy to Australia by force. To seize control of the government and to kill innocent civilians that do not fit the idea of Alexander's morals and standards to the letter.

"So why the hell did Stephenson try to run for office?" Magnus asks, "That makes no sense to me."

"He wanted to gather all the protest groups in one place." Ariel replies, "He needed to know who exactly to target."

"Well that makes some sense… But why are you telling me all this?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's the full moon. They say it drives people crazy right?"

Omega looks at Ariel puzzled.

"I don't get you." Omega says still puzzled.

A crash comes from the wall at the back.

Glass being shattered as a figure comes flying in.

The figure is dressed in the same robes as the Cult of Confederacy.

"I bring a message! You two shall know the wrath of the glorious cult." the figure starts to speak, "Omega Magnus for standing up against what is right, and Ariel Magnus for turning your back against our benevolent leader."

The figure drops a pellet. A heavy dense of smoke emits from it.

A plotted escape attempt. Clearly the cult member had no intention on a fight with two genetically superior beings.

The figure makes an attempt to escape through the way he came in. Only to be grabbed by the collar.

"You seriously live in a cave or something?"

Omega Magnus still has his sunglasses, which he used the infrared function to see through the smoke.

Omega throws the figure backwards.

"Glad to see Alex likes recruiting cowards! So what's your benevolent leader up to now?" Magnus sarcastically demands,

"He will purify this country with fire!" the figure proudly proclaims, "There is no saving this country! Your pointless efforts are futile! The country must be purified of all the filth that ravages it!"

"No point wasting my time on brainless fanatics…" Omega turns to leave.

Omega hears a crack.

He turns around, only to see Ariel snapping the figure's neck, and throws the now lifeless body onto the ground.

"What the hell?" Omega shouts,

"You know my vision Steven…" Ariel says calmly as if she doesn't feel any remorse, "These evil twisted monsters cannot live. I don't expect you to understand."

Omega looks at Ariel with seriousness.

"You gonna try and snap my neck next?"

Ariel is startled by Omega's response. She has mentioned that she suffers from Bipolar and Schizophrenia, which means she can have a sudden outburst at any given time.

"I'm glad I'm not the murderous one." Omega pipes in, "Do you have a hint at what Stephenson might be doing next?"

"Well he'd probably go after the gay community first." Ariel responds, "He hates that community the most."

"You're not going to help more?"

"I've already interfered more than I should've. They have eyes on me, you know?"

"And it doesn't bother you at the slightest?"

"When you've done a lot of things that I've had, you tend to be bothered less at what the outcome may be. Besides, I don't think EJ and Toni don't like the idea of us being together."

"You have a point…"

As Omega says that last remark, Ariel quickly moves in towards him.

A light kiss on the left cheek.

"Thank you for coming here." Ariel says softly, "I miss these moments."

"Sure…" Magnus replies at a loss for words as Omega turns to leave, summoning the MagnusMobile which is fitted with an automatic driving mechanism.

"Nice set of wheels by the way." Ariel pipes in as Omega leaves.

As Omega hops into the MagnusMobile, he dials the radio.

"EJ, I've gotten new information on Alexander Stephenson." Omega says into the radio. "I'm heading to the Gay Bar now. Any new developments?"

"Yeah about that Omega…" EJ is hesitant as she continues to speak. "Stormy went ahead an hour ago."

"Stormy? Who the hell is Stormy?! Wait… Why are you calling me just Omega?"

"Yeah, me and your dad suited Toni up and she went off. You may wanna check on her. Some hooded cultists showed up. She's dealing with them now."

"That damn crazy cat!" Omega says as he drives off.
