The Nova Invicta, 3:45 AM
The moon's rays clashed against the metal of the massive ship, light bouncing off into the clear night sky. The smooth waves lightly beating the hull as the vessel made it's way through the water. Then... well, someone had to ruin it. RINGARRINGARRINGARRING! the ship's alarm system rang out, though only to the room's where the members of the new generation would sleep.. if they slept at all, that is. It stopped after three minutes, which would hopefully have brought all the members to the hall. Peacekeeper Mitchel stood with his arms crossed as the young funneled out. As all of them went out of their rooms, he nodded. "Good, looks like we smashed two birds with one stone. The new alarm system is working, and your all up. I suggest you all get whatever gear you usually carry around and head to the meeting room." not answering any of the questions or listening to any complaints, Mitchel heads back to his own room.
As the members, resentful or not, enter the dark meeting room, the large screen in the back of the room flickers on with some static. The standard silhouette of the owner of Genesis Incorporated forms on the screen. He nods as each of the members come in, not showing any indication of emotion in whatever darkness he hides in to shield his identity. As the last of the young enter, he surveys the room, examining the characters who his scouts had brought into the fold. "Hello, I do hope you don't mind the crude awakening too much. My associates wanted this done as most training is done." he stops again, eerily observing the members silently for a few seconds before continuing. "Yes, training, that's what you may call it. My investors have gotten impatient with the standard training, no offense intended to mister Richards. I had to oblige with their pleas. After all, they were throwing their resources my way to do so." he chuckles, but it sounds forced.
He stops the laughter flat. "So, I did what any reasonable person would do with such a large amount of wealth in his hands; I bought an island." he once again stops, staring. "This island, it is unique... more will be explained later. I was planning on building a larger training facility there, but my associates want to see you in action now. I hope your ready for a trip. Head up deck, and yo'll be handled there." the silhouette looks as if he's gonna flip a switch or something rather, but stops. "Oh, and good morning." the mysterious owner says before the screen flicks off.
Upper Deck
"Alright, all of you get in line." Mitchel says as the members come up. "Each of you will be riding on a different boat and will arrive on a different side of the island. You will be given communicators to communicate with home base." he looks up from the clipboard he was reading from, checking if they all are paying attention. "There will be two opposing sides in this exercise. Protagonists and Antagonists. Protagonists, your objectives will be given to you via your communicators. Antagonists, your sole objective is to keep the Protagonists from completing their objectives to a certain point. Protagonists, you will not be informed on who is and isn't an Antagonists. Unless you are specifically told so, you are not an Antagonist." he chuckles as his eyes role over the last few sentences. "Killing other members is prohibited, if you encounter a member of the opposite side, you are meant to either knock out or incapacitate them. Once you have done that, you are encouraged to mark these members with these emitters." he holds up a small device.
"This will signal helicopters to pick up these members so they cannot interfere further in the exercise. These members will be carried out in a similar way to how stranded livestock are. This is so others on the island will see who is and isn't out of the fight." he hold the clipboard to the side and looks up. "Alright now, I'll call you one at a time to prevent any... cheating. As I call you, head to a lifeboat and you'll be taken to the island." Mitchel begins calling out the names, or alias's, of every member aside from Saint, Knightwing, Ajax, and Jade. As the other members leave, he smiles at the remaining. "Congratulations, you are the Antagonists." he says with a smile. Pilot Thomas looks out from the helicopter behind Mitchel. "Alright, you four get on, I'll take you where you need to go." Mitchel nods and walks away, leaving the members to do what they need to.
**COMMUNICATOR SIGNAL**
"ATTENTION ALL PROTAGONISTS; YOUR OBJECTIVES ARE AS FOLLOWS." The robotic, female voice rings out through the communicators.- Find supply shack in the forest, gather explosive supplies.
- Meet up with other members (OPTIONAL).
- Break the base's walls, preferably using the gathered explosives.
- Activate base's power.
"AFTER THESE OBJECTIVES ARE COMPLETED, AWAIT FURTHER ORDERS VIA COMMUNICATOR. 1897 OUT."
Meanwhile, with the Antagonists
"Alright, I'm taking you all to the base that damn robot is yapping about." Thomas says to the Antagonists as their communicators ring out. "All the others will be arriving on the coast of the island, so don't expect them to catch up that quick. Well, besides that Quickster kid." he yawns. "Once the Protagonists finish their little mission, if they do, you await orders too. You aren't gonna contribute by trying to fight each other after this, got it?" he waits for any answers and nods back to them. "And don't worry, they won't see us. This baby has infiltrated better." The helicopter slowly begins to descend as they close in on the WW2 era base. Thomas hovers the chopper just above the ground, allowing the Antagonists to jump off. "Let the games begin!" he yells to them as he flies off.
