"Does anybody know what happens when, a 1 kiloton bomb explodes in a 3,085 km² city like Cairo?"
"Well, its akin to a fart, compared to prior expectations. But, if a 1 kiloton fission bomb was detonated. And your within 150 meters radius of the explosion? Well your whole enemy team gets a C rank reward, that's what..." explained Kris to the now shocked group.
[Flash Back]
"Should I press the button, or should you do the honors?" ask Kris when he saw the live feed from one of his drones monitoring Team India.
"It was a retorical question dear, of course I'll do it!!" and, press the button...
Felicity just rolled her eyes with a soft smile.
[Team India POV]
When Kris press the button he had on hand, 4 of his drones took formation, and formed a big screen a top Team India, and Imhotep.
Projecting Kris on screen, wearing a Zero costume from Code Geass , He took off his mask, made a pose, and said...
"My name is Lelouch VI Britannia, and I order you to DIE!"
As he was speaking a fifth drone carrying a 1kiloton bomb taken from Muhammad Joseph slowly flew down towards Team India.
When he was done saying his lines, 4 of the drones responded "Yes My Lord!!" just in time for the bomb to explode.
Taking everything within a 150m radius with it, in a large explosion. That includes the zombies, Imhotep, and Team India. The explosion engulf 2 city blocks.
Though Manavia was able to raise her shield, but, due to her proximity with the bomb, it did not hold off the blast. Shanaia, and Manavia died on the spot.
Shiva used his Dharmachakra to protect himself, while Arot was able to transform, and ran away... he was still injured.
The undead Imhotep gather, was turn into ash, with only few remaining.
Though Shiva, and Arot survived they are now heavily injured. Imhotep manage to reform himself but, he was visibly weakened.
[Team China POV]
"CAUSING HEAVY COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN A HIGH POPULATED CITY TEAM IS REWARDED A C RANK REWARD"
[Kris POV]
"Enemy Team KILL - Killing a normal member of another team. Awards 2000 Points and C rank reward."
"GC Enemy KILL - Killing a member of another team who has unlocked the Genetic Constraint. Awards 7000 points and B rank reward."
"Two member killed. Team India minus two points. Team China 8 points; Team India -8 points. Members with negative points at the end of the movie will be erased."
"Point CASUALTIES - Killing a member of the other team will give your team Positive 1 Point. The death of an ally team member will give your team Negative 1 Point. At the end of the mission these points will be multiplied by 2000 and every living team member will be awarded or deducted points equal to the factored score.(A/N: I kinda forgot to put this in there. Tehee)"
[Flash Back end]
"And, kids. That's how I met your mother... I mean that's what happens when a bomb explodes..."
"When were you going to tell us, about bombing a city under the British colony?" ask Evelyn
"Well I was thinking, Never, in my head just now. But seeing your faces, I would guess, now, would be a good answer... Ta-da!!! I bombed a city."
"Two member killed. Team China minus two points. Team China 6 points; Team India -6 points. Members with negative points at the end of the movie will be erased."
The team suddenly went silent, Kris sighed heavily thinking 'In the end I still can't change their fate.'
"The ship they booked must have been delayed, and now that only two are left in Team India they have no more need for the two. I feel sorry for Zhuiyu" said Felicity
"Let's hurry, and meet up with the rest at the Oasis to discuss our next move." said Zheng he was also sorry to hear that the newbies died but, they are almost at the end of the mission there's room for sadness later.
The Ford Anglia, zipped thru the night sky and arrived at the Oasis just before dawn.
Felicity brought everyone to where the rest were staying after meeting, and greeting each other, they settled down.
Currently they were having breakfast in a huge tent Tengyi bought with some gold Kris left with them...
"Where are our allies?" Honglu asked.
Ardeth Bay (The man in black) paused for a moment then drew a line in the sand. "In between the marketplace and Hamunaptra. Since the desert is too large, we can only wait in the center then send our men to search for our enemies. This is the most we can do."
Honglu nodded. Zheng studied the sand tray for a while and said, "So this is decided. We still have a few days."
"Kris bought us time when he bombed Team India, and base on the deaths only 2 of them remain. But, they are the strongest amongst their team."
"The real problem we are facing is the hord of undead Imhotep will bring. Even after the bomb exploded, it will not be enough to reduce their numbers."
"With a city as large a Cairo, the population alone is enough for Imhotep to recoup his forces."
"Everyone take a good rest then we have to fight for our lives… We are not running this time. Only one side can live. O'Connell, can we get weapons and ammunitions in the marketplace? Normal bullets are fine."
Ardeth answered him instead, "We have men and a little warehouse in the marketplace. There should be some weapons, even though they are not as powerful as the ones you have, but there should be enough ammunition."
Zheng laughed. "That's good enough. Normal bullets can kill the regular mummies… Ok, any questions?"
Honglu then ask, "What should we do with Zero, and Heng? although the treatment Yinkong, and Kris are giving them is delaying the degradation of their body... in a matter of a few days they might not make it."
"All we can do now is prepare for the worst, and make sure their lives are not wasted." said Zheng
