Undisclosed Location 24 Hours Pre-Assault

The crepuscular rays of sunlight that escaped the clouds and wove through the trees illuminated the forest floor where Madison had been living. She was gathering branches to make a shelter where she would camp for the night, her body skirting around the forest with speed, the sound of cracking branches echoing throughout the tall evergreen leaves. The noise scared prey and attracted predators. Madison heard many heartbeats that belonged to what sounded like the indigenous grey wolves. Unruffled she continued to gather wood, and within minutes the wolves appeared. As soon as their gaze met Madison's wild eyes they whimpered and retreated into the woods. After they had gone the assassin shot her right leg into the air to break another branch, her leg came down with a force unnatural to the woods but her leg stopped mid-thrust. Madison felt her mind being contacted by a familiarcontractor and friend, Valerie Huntington-Whiteley. The message was just a time and place, and with that Kalliste left her natural retreat.

Helsinki

Kalliste had gone to the nearest airstrip where the White Queen had already set up a helicopter for take off. Wearing ripped jeans and a torn shirt she hopped into the bird and flew it until she reached the destination. After landing the helicopter Kalliste assumed that Valerie would have arranged for the absolute best so she took the room key that she had found on her seat and walked to the penthouse. The key activated the door and inside the suite an armored body suit laid on the couch but first Kalliste needed to shower. The steaming water felt refreshing as it dripped down her tanned hourglass figure. Just after rinsing off the suds that covered the assassins body, she heard her friend enter the room. Madison wrapped herself in a towel and walked out to greet her friend. After exchanging greetings Kalliste had been informed of her mission which was to provide prime physical protection so that the White Queen could solely focus on destroying the minds of their opponents. Kalliste only agreed to the mission because she thought the target would be apprehended either way and if Kalliste could have any part in it she would try to make sure no harm came to the child.

The beautiful blonde walked with grace and power like a lioness toward the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the point of attack across the way. Kalliste dropped her robe and walked to the window to get a better view with her suit dangling on her lean toned arm. At the window she stepped into the suit, it fit like a glove hugging Kalliste's curves just perfectly. However she couldn't get the zipper so she walked to the telepath for assistance, her hands were cold on Madison's bare back and caused her to shiver from the chills. After the suit was on the deadly brunette looked at herself in the mirror, she hadn't seen herself for over a month and her appearance was still so striking that she herself was taken back, her dark brown hair hung in a high ponytail that ended just below her long neck, and her eyes were so blue and beautiful but there still seemed to be a savage aspect to them that was intimidating. Her train of thought was broken by the muffled sound of movement in the air vents. Kalliste put her two pistols in her side holsters and grabbed her freshly sharpened knives in each hand. "We have company, air vents, two points of possible entry in the bedroom and bathroom." The lack of response was a sign that Valerie was doing her job perfectly. "No need to worry I'll handle it quickly and quietly." Or so she thought. A minute later Kalliste heard a thud in bathroom that sounded like a man landing and with that she took cover. A man quietly stepped out of the bathroom and launched a kick in Valerie's direction and Kalliste engaged combat and prepared to intercept it. Kalliste felt the strong force of the flying kick as it dug into her chest, breaking many ribs, just after her ribs made a loud cracking sound as they healed back into place. Kalliste took her hand which still held a knife and tried to thrust her weapon into his gut. The other knife was following behind quickly a successful hit would leave two open wounds.

@Uncommon: I wouldn't consider it my attention but i would consider it a perk :)

The deathly shout from a man rang in Kalliste's ear, she looked over her shoulder for a split second to see the water elemental fall to the ground with his leg a few feet away. "And they tell me you are an old man, doesn't seem like it in the slightest!" The man named August must have been at least 6'2" with silver hair and ice blue eyes, he seemed older yet still very dapper and young at the same time. Within the split second it took Kalliste to look, the earth elemental had hit her in the stomach with a large rock, send her back into a tree. She gasped for air and color returned to her face quickly, she charged the nearest elemental which appeared to be fire and dug her knife into his stomach, he let out a small noise and in that same moment the knife was twisted in his stomach. Kalliste withdrew the knife and met August in the center of the courtyard. "Nice to meet you, whats the plan?"

@Uncommon Such a good post!!! I legit loved it!

Posted, hopefully it gives somebody some room for a good fight!

Caracas

"You guys take the congressional building" Was commanded into Kalliste's ear, unfortunatley, she did not like being told what to do unless by one of the big three for the invasion. However Kalliste was trying to make sure the team had no internal disputes so she would obey. The water was exceptionaly clear minus the blood that began to assimilate into the liquid. She contiued to swim with her few other soldiers until she would reach a prime point to reveal herself for the attack.

She was as close to congressional building as she could get, with a wave of the hand she and her men jumped out simoltaneously. Nobody had seen them. Kalliste ordered they split up, they would take the streets and Kalliste would go on top the roofs for a vantage point to attack from above. The nearest building was a two story house with a car in the driveway, charging the car Kalliste planned her route, jump from car to the tiled roof, get to the flat center without disturbing the tiles or anyone inside then make her way towards the target. The plan was executed perfectly, the car barley moved as Kalliste's light foot propelled her through the air with one elegant flip, the tiles responded similarly, barley making a noise as she ran up the short distance to where the two sloped sides met. From there she began running down the roofs, jumping from building to building, ocassionaly needing to jump off a telephone pole or a tree. Within a minute she had eyes on target, and her target had eyes on the men employed to aide her. They were shot instantly by the large group of men gathered around the building. That was the silent part of Kalliste's plan, draw attention to the men so the opponents would not consider her, also the opponents would either be shaken up or over confident, either one worked to her advantage. Her powers did not allow her to mentally assault the men but she would still play her hand at mental warfare.

The humid air filled her lungs and her chest expanded with the breath as her exposed skin glimmered slightly in the moonlight. The sound of gunshots rang throughout the air and echoed off of building throughout the city. Kalliste originally had planned to wait for Uncommon to arrive, but she figured she would begin and he could join once he showed. She had one two pistols on her hip and knives strapped to her legs and one on her left arm, but she brought an extra weapon to initiate her attack. The rifle with a grenade launcher attatchment was not her favorite weapon but it seemed the most effective for "crowd conrtol" she slung it off her back, took aim and fired on the front stairs.

The soldiers broke form instantly, finding cover behind a newly fallen column or behind a tree, no cover would help because as soon as they had processed what occured, Kalliste had fired her only magazine for the rifle, the bullets found themselves dug into the back of soldier's skulls or lodged in their chest. She then moved to a tree, she examined the uniform's at light speed she could easily tell who was a higher rank, these she took out with her pistols. Again the discord grew further, taking down this building would be more symbolic plus there may be a chance some officials resided inside, and Kalliste would love to see them dead because it was necessary for the plan. Still she remained unseen, the once large group and been reduced and now the fun part began. Kalliste sprung from her tree and her legs pushed her far enough to soar across the courtyard onto the steps. The men seemed suprised to be attacked by a woman because they were hesistant to attack, Kalliste chuckled and punched a man in the face with the right power and angle to break his nose, sending shards of bone into his brain. He died instantly. Then the rest began too attack some attempting to shower her with bullets, but she danced around the thick circle of men forming, she was too fast now that she had been put in danger her powers began to activate and she felt her body adapting to the situation, she could proccess faster, everything but her seemed a little slower. Her whole body became stronger, the few bullets that hit her did hurt, but they did not penetrate the flesh they simply bounced off of her. Surely they would leave a bruise because the danger was not great enough to grant full resistance. She continued killing, stabbing, swiping, snapping necks. A pile of bodies lay around her and just one was left. He begged to be left alive, claiming to have a family to get back too. "I had a family once too, they will get over your existance quite quickly i believe." She walked behind him, kissed his neck, then slit his throat.

The battle was over, or at least Kalliste thought so, she heard a rumbling from within the building and suddenly all the windows shattered and a group of four men became visible. They looked similar, they must have been brothers, and each seemed to represent an element, water, fire, earth, or air. This must have been one of the capitol's more elite form of protection. Kalliste did not know the extent of their powers, but she did know it would not be an easy fight, she hoped Uncommon would arrive soon.

@Ellie_Knightfall: I don't know haha i just liked it so i took it ;)
