《Sovereign》In charge
Advertisement
Feeling like an impostor, Gromov stood nervously in the middle of the room and took a deep breath. Then, he roared like an injured lion.
"SILENCE! QUIET! SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!"
Surprised, people stopped whatever they were up to, looking toward the source of deafening noise. Several ladies from the Ministry of Defense, including Mrs. Corbin, covered their ears, expressing their deep disapproval.
"That's my man," said Andrey Jerzinski to his cadets. "I recognize that sweet voice. I've told you about his charm, haven't I?"
And with no further ado, he joined Gromov's effort, bellowing loudly in the best manner of training sergeants right to the face of baffled officers.
In a few seconds, Gromov had the full attention of the hotel lounge.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he went on sternly, observing them with a calmness he rather did not feel. "This is the emergency under command of Space Forces. My name is Captain Gromov. I am acting on behalf of Major Sholto who had appointed me to manage things from now. Nobody is allowed to speak unless told otherwise. Understood?"
"Wait a moment..."
One lady from before stepped forward. "With all respect, you possibly ..."
Before she could continue, Akane sprung to the action, jumping on the woman and twisting her hand behind her back, so the woman shrieked in pain.
"Haven't you heard properly, you stupid hag? Nobody is allowed to speak, including you. Next time you open your foul mouth, I'll kill you on the spot."
Gromov glared at Akame in utter disbelief. Is she really thinking she was helping? Is she possessed by a demon or what? On the other hand, the instant outburst of violence persuaded all civilians the situation was serious. Few pilots seemed like they were more than willing to assist Akane to sort things out. One MP, probably incidentally, half-turned, and the blaster, aiming until now at the arrested chef, frightened people around the reception desk.

"Do not resist," Mrs. Corbin pleaded the crying woman. "Or you get us killed. They are DOZOR."
She tried to whisper but in the hushed room, the sentence was as good as shouted out.
"Did she just say DOZOR? That DOZOR? She should know it since she is from Ministry."
Gromov fought his desire to order some cadet to shoot that woman. At that moment Captain Chi entered the lounge, followed by the suit of remaining pilots. For some reason, he decided to organize them in the column of route, resembling regular infantry unit and led them directly to Gromov.
Saluting, he said, "Captain Chi reporting, sir. According to your orders, I gathered all available pilots. The sick stayed in their rooms. I am afraid they all need immediate medical attention, sir."
"Thank you, captain. Good job. As for now, gather all battle-ready pilots. Who is checking the hotel rooms for the incapacitated?"
“On the first floor, I encountered the hotel physician. She agreed to do the task. She had already hotel keys and some assistance at the hand. Is it OK?”
“Not enough I presume. Space Forces must be present during the visits. I don’t want to repeat myself, so let’s make a short meeting with you, Sergeant Jerzinski, Lieutenant Schubert, and one representative of the Military Police. However, before that, let me handle one more detail… Akane, release that pitiable woman and come over here. We need to talk.”

Murphy's Law
****Story has been dropped for being too dark**** "Anything that can go wrong, will." But what if you know what goes wrong in advance? On Earth, monsters come in human form. Some are ostracized or locked up, but others walk amongst us. They’re more common than one would think and they grow in number the higher in the hierarchy you go. With 1 in 100 people preying on the other 99, eventually, a world trying to summon a hero might end up with a monster that doesn't feel like playing along. _____________________________ The story is my take on some of my favorite genre's and tropes, some of which I have no I idea if they'll work well together. English is not my main language so if you notice any typos or grammar mistakes please tell me so I can correct them. Criticism and critique are more than welcome:) A chapter every Tuesday.*I do not own the cover image, it's taken from google.
