Chapter 69

N I C E

-----

Arcane picks up her phone and dials a number.

Arcane: "I need them in my office. Now."

-----

The scene opens to Flash Bang, Sketcher, Parapet, Haze, and Parapet entering Arcane's office.

Parapet: "We've been summoned?"

Arcane takes her view away from the window and faces the group.

Arcane: "Yes. And have you brought Fusion with you?"

Feroch: "He's on his way."

-----

The scene changes to Kuuga closing his copy of the book and placing it on the table with narrow eyes.

Kuuga: "In four months…"

-----

The scene changes back inside Arcane's office now with all of them reading the highlighted parts from a TV screen.

Flash Bang: "Over a hundred thousand of them?"

Sketcher: "That's too many for us!"

Haze: "If it's over a hundred thousand of them, then there's a possibility some heroes in the field are part of the army. There could be some inside this agency."

Parapet: "To mention it's not the precise number, there could be more than a hundred."

Feroch: "And all of us have four months to prepare. Even if we have the most-skilled fighters in the field, is man power enough?"

As they discuss, Arcane has her eyes closed, listening in.

Arcane: "We should not worry about us having traitors. All of us are clean."

Haze: "How can you know that, ma'am? Monitoring more than ten thousand heroes by yourself is nearly impossible."

Arcane: "I know, that's why we have the help from Ezume and Tomo."

Flash Bang: "The Aisakas? Can that weird couple be trusted to do a good job?"

As they speak, the husband and wife are seen inside a heavily guarded server farm and observing a huge screen, showing a live feed of the map of Japan, showing locations of all the heroes from the Arcane Agency. Another screen shows a live heartbeat of every member. Another screen shows a notification of an Arcane Agency hero's heartbeat flat-lining.

Ezume: "Another hero is down."

Tomo: "Let's look at the location."

Arcane: (narrating) "Yes. Aisaka technologies can observe all of our movements and health situations. Nothing gets past them. They may be weird and all, but they can be serious if they choose to be serious."

Haze: "That puts me a little at ease."

Arcane: "Don't doubt those two. They're one of the world's best minds."

A knock on the door stops their conversation. The door opens showing another cloaked hero.

Fusion: "I tried getting here as fast as I could. I saw your messages, I guess all of us are on the same page."

Arcane: "We are. I want to know what you think."

Fusion: "A hundred thousand is just absurd. We're no match for that. Even if we combine all the pro heroes that aren't siding with the Liberation army, I doubt it will be enough. This is not a simple villain versus heroes- This is a bloodbath in four months! We can't prepare in time!"
