The people on the streets of Gilam watched confused as the two hundred men of the Ichi Army marched into the town, each having a cap and jacket with a biohazard sign on it. They stopped abruptly in front of the market square, speaking loudly for everyone to hear.
"By order of the Ichi Army East Sea Division, we will be taking over."
Before the people could react to the news, a cannon slammed into a tall building. Eyes widened as the top of the building collapsed to the ground. Fear overtook the streets of Gilam, everyone running around to get away from the army.
"Remember men, we are taking every man, woman, and child under our custody. If anyone proves against our world of equality, kill them."
The members cheered, moving in to catch them. Fires started to spread round the city, the three generals not too far off from the chaos.
"Everything is going according to plan," Kia said. "The commander will be really happy."
"Don't get cheerful yet," Jason said. "The finale begins at the legislate house."
Bolton laughed. "I can't wait."
Amaya met them all with camels and the generals used the animals to head to the legislate house. The people cried for their rulers to save them, the Ichi Army killing anyone who didn't conform or taking people hostage.
"We need to leave the country right away," Prime Minister Akon said, piling stuff into a box.
"Prime minister, you can't pack during a time like this," one of the guards said. "We should get the citizen's to safety."
"I don't care," the minister shouted. "Send all the men here to fight off those Ichi Army members."
"What of the citizens?"
"Who cares if a few morons die? My life is the most important in Alba, so I need to be protected at all costs."
As all these events took place, Leon laughed with every fiber of his being. The crew stared at him in shock alongside Aiya.
"What do you think now your highness?" Leon said. "For the first time in your sheltered life, you can finally hear the cries of your people. Isn't it funny? You and your wretched family have neglected their calls for centuries, but they still believe and cry out to you for help." Aziz covered his ears, but Leon continued. "With every breath they have their crying out to a non-existent savior."
"Shut up!" Aziz shouted. "How could you do this to people?"
Leon laughed lowly. "I'm just doing what I must to create the perfect world. For centuries, the Ichi Army has laid low, but not anymore, it is time to rise up. Gone are the days were the corrupt leaders oppress their followers. The time has come to throw those so called nobles out of seat and welcome the reign of the Ichi Army."
"You won't get away with this," Paolo hissed. "When I get out of this thing, I'll kill you."
Leon smirked. "It's too late, the takeover is about to happen an-"
"I could care less if you want to take over Alba or the world. That's not my business," Paolo said, cracking his knuckles. "I've been given a job to stop you, so I will."
Leon frowned. "You're pretty confident for a rookie adventurer, know your place."
Paolo huffed, glaring back evenly. "The one who should know his place… is you."
"It's about time we left, Ariel," Leon said, then pointed at some sort of timer on the wall. "And this room will self-destruct in thirty minutes. My identity will soon be revealed so I have no use for the place again." He laughed maniacally. "Enjoy your last day on earth."
Ariel clapped her hand, six huge golems forming. One of them tried to attack Aziz, but the prince dodged it.
"Aziz," Anisa shouted.
Leon laughed as the golem actually hit Aziz that time, his body crashing into the ground.
Ariel's communication hub rung, and she frowned at the device. "We shouldn't be getting any more calls."
"Answer it," Leon said.
She nodded, pressing the receiver button.
"Hello," sang a familiar female voice.
Leon frowned. "I know that voice…"
The person behind the phone giggled. "I'm happy you remember my voice, commander."
