Chapter 8TJ - Verdict Day

[NOTE: The flashback scenes with Allison Torrington will be contained in one side chapter].

 "God wanted to save mankind, and so he reached out to help. But there were some who did not accept God's offering. They intended to destroy the order that God sought to create for mankind. God was confused. Why did man not want to be saved?""

"They say it was called the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. A harbinger of death that left a trail of destruction."




Mackie looks at how a looker Jonathan Torrington is...

Mackie: Well, now, now, he's a looker, ain't it?

Mackie: Want to use him to continue the Tammison bloodline?

Dani: NOW'S NOT THE TIME! NO! NO! NOOO!

Mackie: So, my dear Daniella, do you fancy somebody else?

Dani: Ummm... no... not really...

Dani: If it's about love, it's his choice.

But as usual, Jonathan sleeps very, very soundly, as if sleeping really, really well helps with the cooldown. It helps that the "instant death" response works to anyone with a killing intent toward him, so when he sleeps, he can kill too.

Jonathan: There's quiet before you two speaking things...

Dani: Nevermind.

Dani: By the way...

Dani: We're approaching... Los Suenos.

Dani: Looks like here we are.

Dani: Persica seems large, ain't it? Outer regions, San Da Silva, Los Suenos... 

Dani: We've just passed the massive outer region, and now... here we are... Maybe... The inner region.

Dani: It seems it's just as massive as the outer region, but now i've seen skyscrapers and buildings as far as i can see.

Dani: Another checkpoint.... what do we gonna do?

Dani: Like yesterday we got the President of the United States with us, and now we're getting back to our MRAP because splitting up would be safe not just for us but the POTUS as well.

Mackie: I feel like... we're being surrounded....

A bunch of people in military gear surround the unmarked MRAP.

What appears the leader approach the vehicle.


Cole: Please, unknown vehicle occupant, get out of the car!

Cole: I'm Cole Phelps, Detective, working in co-operation with the Homeland Security assigned to Inner Persica.

Cole: We're assigned here because there's too many instances and reports of heated conflict around the region.

Cole: Also... the color scheme... the MRAP belongs to the Hamlin Battalion!

Jonathan: We're not part of the Hamlin Battalion. We got this from the Mayor of San Da Silva.

Cole: (X) Doubt

Jonathan: Oh... oh... actually... We're part of Sage Candidate initiated by Bell of Archer Logistics...

Cole: (X) Doubt

Cole: Okay, you need to appraise your gifts. Digital devices, consoles, or whatever.

Dani: F<expletive not shown>!

Jonathan: Trust in Elizabeth Conway. She's a JSOC. An Amelion. 

Cole: (X) Doubt 

Cole: Didn't see any signatures within you. So nope.

Jonathan: Hmmm... waitaminute...

FLASHBACK A BIT...

President Michael Wilson: If you need any safe passes, here's a badge of authority!

Dani: But we... we don't do anything.

Michael: Trust me. You're going to need it. Heard that you just want to go home, right?

Michael: I can grant you that, but...

Jon: Actually, we need questions... and our home is...

Jon: Another dimension, like one day we're in a bus trip to Yokohama and then suddenly meadows and then dragon. 

Michael: Well, UFOs or something... not really my business even if i recall seeing one.

Michael: Plus, you guys don't seem look like a threat. I mean... 

Michael: Nevermind... 

Michael: But if you have any difficulty, just refer to this badge of authority!

Michael: Well, i guess this is it.

Michael: Sorry to say, but...

Michael: Travelling together with odd-looking fella... and a ghost...

Michael: Would be suspicious, especially for a President like me.

Michael: So yeah, we'll part ways from here. Hope you see your home soon.

Dani: Hey Michael, why are you so keen on helping a stranger? 

Michael: The reason is because i am the president of the Great United States of Amelion! 

Michael: Well actually because not only you guys seemingly just several confused fellow, but especially you, Dani, you remind me of my secretary Jodie. 

Michael then left with his combat suit armor.

Dani: Well, the President thought we're aliens. 

Jon: Technically, we are, right?

Dani: But then he told me he reminds myself of his secretary. 

FLASHBACK END

Jon: (Flashes badge) here.

Cole: Sorry, didn't expect that you're a...


 Another high-ranking looking person that goes by the name of David, appears.

David: Sorry everyone. David Beaumont. LSPD. 

David: That badge...

David: It shows that you're either a Secret Service, or the member of the 44th Battalion.

David: Well, by default, you're either both.

David: But that doesn't mean you'll do things as you please like committing crimes or such, for I'm the Judge, and the field commander of LSPD SWAT. 

Cole: David, don't be rude!

David: Since Richard.... well, to put it, MIA.... it's time to took his place, then.

David: (X) Doubt

David: Do you have proof of being Richard Hawk's brother in arms?

Dani: So that Rick fella we met back in the tower was Richard Hawk?

FLASHBACK AGAIN

Theodyce: Vice President, said to be ousted years ago for planning insurrection. That he planned to use the tower to steal the Goddess power for himself by sealing her couple as a bargaining...

Theodyce: Good thing i prevented it, though the Goddess had to be put to rest to prevent further damage to the world...

FLASHBACK END
