Advertisement

Benny, the Mayor's assistant of Bay city has been very busy in the last few weeks. But, the last few days have become weirder. He's in a lot of stress. His boss the mayor, took a sudden holiday leaves and cant be reach... Probably enjoying all the money he got from that new villa owner.

Since his arrival 2 weeks ago so many things have changed. This guy name Alex have turn the city's best villa into some sort of a fortress. Gates and watchtower can be seen from the bay city. Benny has help Alex in the acquisitions of many lands not far from the city. He thinks given a few months, with that huge plot of land and workers, that place could become its own separate city.

After starting its construction in both of the villas and the land up north, more and more people start to come into the city. There are thousands of them, Benny can tell that most are workers, next there was a group of doctors and scientist. They came to the city with their families. Suddenly all of the Hotels and inn are full. This probably good for the city, but it starts to make the locals nervous. Lately, it becomes even worst, a group of thugs also came to the city. As a local government official, Benny knows some of them. They are the Bali misfits, they could only bring troubles to the city. It's as if these thugs aren't troubled enough, yesterday a group of soldiers came to the city as well, more than 200 of them, and Benny is smart enough to see that this is not like those normal soldiers.

Thugs and army, this could only mean trouble... Benny worried if he didn't do something, this might escalate into small war. Benny was left in charge of the city, currently, he has 20 staff that help him, but its far from enough. Last week he has to bring the local police forces to help him. Its a small city, Benny could only pull around 50 active policemen to assist the city.

Knock on the door... One of his staff came in to tell him that he is invited to the villa by Mr. Alex, "Right about time" he thought, he needed explanation. This army and thugs must have something to do with that Alex. Suddenly...

TTTTOOOOOOOTTTT

"..."

A sound from a ship can be heard from his office, this sound startled him. This is not the sound of any normal ship. Benny walk to the window, from his second-floor office.

"..."

Last week the port is filled with two big transport ship and half a dozen new small ship. Today there is Another ship in sight, but this is not a normal ship... it's an Indonesian navy destroyer.

All the other ship already combine its engine with electric motors or using powerplant engines. When the doomsday comes, only three of these ships will be usable. This is the special vehicles that Alex request from the Regent.

At this moment the Fatahillah has docked on the Bay city port. A group of Navy marines can be seen moving out of the ships. They are standing in formation on the dock, waiting for someone. There are 80 marines and 6 officers can be seen in this formation. A few minutes later people in army uniforms, came to greet them.

"Commander Tom, welcome I am Captain Donnie, Foxtrot company 6th division of the special forces"

The army and the navy have a slightly different rank, a captain in the army are in the same rank with the lieutenant in the navy, so Commander Tom rank is one ranks higher than captain Donnie. But the commander knew what is the 6th division of the special forces mean. They are the famous Deathsquad soldier, the commander doesn't dare to be impolite.

"Thank you for welcoming us captain, we are from the navy second fleet, we are coming from direct order of the navy admiral of the second fleet, were task to support the foxtrot company mission" Today I bring my crew of, 30 support marines and a platoon of Frog commando unit lead by Lieutenant Russel here. My other officers in charge of navigation, supply, engineering and lastly my XO Lieutenant commander Karra."

The frog commandos are as famous as the Deathsquad, every year in the whole country only about 30 men manage to become full member out of all the Indonesian marines. The fact that one full platoon of them are here, means the regent really pull out some strings for this.

"Welcome to Bay city of Bali, you came right on time, the meetings were just about to start"

On the bay city villa hall, tables already set, desks and chairs were set up around the hall. It's currently already crowded with people. In one of the table, there are the Black Snake gang representative; Jerry, Jacko, Vicky, and Bayu. On the second table, there are the representative from the Medical center; Dokter Andy and Docter Rachel. On the third table there are the Mayor representative; Benny and two of his staff and the head of Bay city police Roby. The fourth table are Alex's managers; Nina, Tony, Rina, and Eka. On The fifth table, there are Hendrik, Cindy, and Aria.

Not long after, The army representative and the navy came. The Deathsquad captain Donnie and his 4 lieutenant; Rangga, Mike, Budi, and Harris. Also follows commander Tom, his Xo commander Kara, Lieutenant Russel, and 3 other officers. All Totaled 28 person.

The situation is actually kinda weird at the moment. All type of strangers is sitting in a hall together facing each other. There is one table still empty, it's the one at the front of the hall. Finally the door open, Alex and his wife came into the room, all eyes facing them.

"..."

Devita suddenly panicked looking at this scene. Scary looking thugs and military soldiers all packed in the same room. she thought they went into the wrong place.

Alex slowly said "Don't worry, follow me" he took her hand and take her into the empty front desk. She sits at one of the chairs. From behind, Alex holds her both shoulder for a second to calm her down. Alex slowly moves to stand in front of the group.

"Welcome everyone, I am Alex the facilitator of this gathering. Some of you I haven't met, we can talk and get to know better later, but first, I want to announce the reason for our gathering here today. There is evidence to believe that at the end of this month a disaster will spread all around the world. This evidence is currently been backed by the country influential figure and even the military. We are here to set up a survival base to prepare for the worst."
