The formation of the International Power Surge Task Force (IPSTF) was announced to the world a week later. The team, composed of elite operatives from various nations, was tasked with tracking down and neutralizing Power Surge suppliers, as well as assisting in the development of countermeasures.
Jason, Mercius, Mia, Fiora, and Eira were appointed as key members of the task force, given their expertise and experience. Adewale was named a senior advisor, leveraging his intelligence network to support their operations.
Their first mission took them to Mexico City, where intelligence had indicated a major Power Surge distribution hub. The city was in turmoil, with reports of superpowered individuals wreaking havoc.
As they arrived in the city, the team could see the signs of destruction. Buildings were damaged, and the streets were filled with debris. People moved cautiously, fear evident on their faces.
"We need to move fast," Jason said, scanning the area. "The longer we wait, the more damage they'll do."
Mercius nodded. "We have intel on the location of the hub. It's an abandoned warehouse in the industrial district."
The team made their way through the city, avoiding areas with heavy conflict. They arrived at the warehouse, finding it heavily guarded by superpowered enforcers.
"Looks like they're expecting trouble," Mia observed, her eyes narrowing as she assessed the situation.
Jason activated his Vortex power, readying himself for the assault. "Let's give them what they're expecting."
The team moved in, engaging the guards with precision and coordination. Jason's Vortex blasts disoriented the enforcers, while Mercius used his brute strength to take them down. Fiora and Mia provided cover, their agility and marksmanship proving invaluable.
Inside the warehouse, they found crates of Power Surge ready for distribution. Eira quickly set to work, hacking into the facility's systems to gather intelligence and disable security measures.
"We've got what we need," Eira said, holding up a USB drive. "Time to shut this place down."
Fiora planted explosives at key points, ensuring the warehouse would be destroyed. As they made their escape, the building went up in flames, a symbol of their victory.
