Trial By Fire

Hey,

Let us get straight to it.

I'm not following canon. So some events will be there but with possibly different outcomes. For example, the moment the Doctor Left Rhodes.

This chapter is a little taste of things to come.

Thanks for the support!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha was scared out of her mind as she ran down what were once busy streets. It was starting to get dark, but darkness was not an issue. Fires are raging due to damage caused by street-to-street fighting. The glow and smoke of the fires dimmed the neon city skyline.

Curfew had been put in place when Reunion started taking potshots at the L.G.D, Passing in blurry haste into another sizeable open street. Misha immediately began to regret it; she had found herself in between an L.G.D. shield wall and a crowd of rioters throwing firebombs and rocks at the current defenders.

There were no Reunion colours among the rioters as far as Misha could see, but inciting large crowds so they could cause as much chaos, and confusion was noted on the news networks when talking about the fall of Chernobog.

Misha was starting to have a panic attack, as she had dozens of L.G.D Officers looking at her behind their raised shields, shouting at her to get away from their position as she was close to them. The rioters were screaming at her to get lost or insult her. This crowd was not interested in Equality for the infected. Couldn't they see her leg? She was infected too!

She didn't understand why this was happening. Nothing was being gained from any of this. Can't they see the food she was carrying? All she wanted to do was get back to the other children and give them something to eat.

Misha was about to run back into the sidestreet she emerged from when a rock from the crowd hit her head, causing her to fall and drop everything, making her cry out in pain and embarrassment, gripping the side of her head, feeling the trickle of blood on her fingers. Tears also started trickling out of her eyes as she sat there stunned.

The crowd laughed and jeered at her as the L.G.D. stood unmoving, but she could feel all their eyes on her. None attempted to help as she was only a meter in front of their line with a bleeding head. She would have seen a few gazes of pity and dismay if she could see their faces.

Someone from the crowd moved ahead of the rest with another rock, throwing it up and down in his hand. The hood of his jacket concealed his upper face. His eyes shadowed, and everyone in front of him could see he had a cocky smirk on his lips, looking down the street at the young woman he had hit. She must have been one of them, sympathisers. She dropped all that food when he hit her to feed those L.G.D. Officers on duty. She probably spread her legs for them too. He raised the rock, preparing to hit the silly little bear girl in her weeping face, Adding a broken nose to the tears. If he could get to her and get her away from everyone, he would see how skilled she was on her knees; she had a tight young body. Oh yes, he would have fun with her.

There was a bright flash of blue in his vision, halting him in his tracks. A scream was heard in the crowd. He looked over and saw the rock fall from his raised hand, unable to grip it. He tried to speak but was unable. That's when he noticed everything had gone silent. The crowd was looking at him with wide eyes. Then, following the direction of their eyes down to his body, where his stomach once was, there was a large hole. He attempted to speak again, but blood flooded his mouth and out as he crumpled to the floor dead.

Misha was trying to pick all of her supplies up while watching the crowd, Hoping they would leave her alone now. But she had to ignore the horrible comments. These people were not good. They were scum. Misha did not see the flash of blue as she held her head in pain and used her free hand to grab the contents she had dropped. However, she did notice when the shouts of L.G.D. and the yelling crowd had gone deathly silent. In a few moments, a scream broke the silence from the group that had laughed at her.

She looked over to see a hooded man that had moved in front of the crowd, only to gasp in shock and horror at the scene. The man was standing there looking at where his stomach used to be while blood flowed out of his mouth as he tried to speak. He looked at her before his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.

Everyone from the crowd, the L.G.D. and Misha, stared at the dead man in shock. That's when it all began again. Commands are being shouted from Officers behind the L.G.D. shield wall to the rioters' screams of fear and anger. Many started to panic and ran, while others got more aggressive. They were throwing firebombs directly into the L.G.D. Officers now.

This time Misha saw it. A blue flash of light sailed across the crowd above their heads and hit someone carrying objects to throw at the Officers directly in the face, Making that person's face disintegrate as a sickening gurgle left their throat. They collapsed soon after with a wet slap, face down on the road.

The crowd again looked on in wide-eyed horror, but this time, the silence was replaced with screams of terror as people ran towards or away from the L.G.D. The Officers of the shield wall moved a few steps back in fear of whatever had killed those two rioters.

A large group wielding pipes and machetes appeared among the crowd wearing Reunion colours and charged at the Officers, screaming their hate. The L.G.D. Officers tensed for a powerful attack when more bluish flashes occurred around them.

Misha stared in terror and alarm as Reunion soldiers ran right at her. She would be crushed between them and the shield wall if they didn't cut her down or beat her to death first. But before they could get close many more Bluish streaks of light start illuminating the street. Shouts of anger and threats from Reunion turned into screams of pain and agony.

Rioters and Reunion started falling to the ground, dead or dying all over the place. Screams of death and pain filled everyone's ears as the blue projectiles kept coming. Misha hadn't realised in her panic she had crawled back into the L.G.D. shield wall before a hand grabbed her as the shields split and pulled her behind their lines. The Officers could only back up in panic and alarm at what they were witnessing.

All Officers behind the shield wall were looking around desperately, trying to find the shooters of these strange weapons. But all shots were coming out of seemingly nowhere!

A camera crew had been a few meters behind the Officers and was recording everything from an elevated position. They cursed themselves that they couldn't catch this on live T.V. Still, it would make their news station the most popular when it was shown across Terra!

-

Unknown to them, This was only a trial run of new weapons and technologies. A trial by fire by a group that had not openly revealed themselves. Soon All of Terra would see what they were capable of. Then, they would be clamouring over each other to trade with them and more.

Y/n, on a rooftop a few hundred meters away, looked at his soldiers' shoot at the Reunion with deadly precision with a satisfied smirk. Mal-Mal will be pleased. The new Pulse rifles are more than efficient for their purposes. How long Before Rhodes Island and others will seek them out?

Agenta, Mal-Mal and Seneschal watched from High Haven on a large display in the command centre with baffled looks. All other staff in the room were getting over their shock at what they had just witnessed and started gossiping. It looks like their Trial By Fire succeeded all expectations.

Every single person that worked for or with Farsight Enclave received a simple message on their phone from their leader Farsight himself.

"Farsight Enclave has fired their first shots. Soon, millions more will follow."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Done!

A minor chapter, A taste, if you will. At what to expect.

A lot of stuff will be Warhammer 40k Tau based, but there will be divisions of different technology.

A pulse rifle causes that much chaos. What would other weapons do, I wonder?

I like Misha's character design. She will live. I have plans for her.
