*Elf and Dwarf City Edrius, City Lord's Castle*

*Meeting room*

"City lord Viyana, about those humans...."

"I understand your concern Elder Dwarf Brock. Those humans, have already achieved a level that us Elves and Dwarves have not achieved yet."

"Moreover, it's that boat of theirs. The power it showed on its small cannon is no ordinary power. Continuous shots, it's lethality, it's something us Elves cannot do. Even you guys, the dwarves, were clueless as to how those humans have done it."

The Elven Elders and the Dwarves Elders lowered their heads at this. All of them were distressed at this.

They can't just blame the crazy dwarf that began a shootout. The mysteries of that boat that the humans made was just that hard to understand.

Wanting to know how this works and how that works was also in the blood of an Dwarf, so they can't just blame him.

But what made them distressed was not the crazy dwarf but the small cannon it gained access to.

It's power was evident since the workshop was riddled with holes. It's lethality is proven since many unlucky souls have been randomly hit, and many have been gravely injured as well.

"I have decided." Said Viyana.

"We must kno-."

The doors to the meeting room bursted open. Then, an elven Knight entered.

"City lord! A message from the royal family has arrived!"

......

*Philippines, Caloocan, Barangay 121*

*Abandoned warehouse.*

"This is the NBI! The compound is surrounded. Surrender now or face heavy fire."

"Fuck off!! We have hostages!!"

The situation has been like this for quite some time now.

As investigations on who permitted the plans for the non-renewable resource expedition continued. The country has issued military checkpoints and immense heavy inspections on the while archipelago.

Eventually, it didn't take long for investigators to find out that it was the prime minister who allowed the plans to go on despite the geological warnings on the area.

Few days after, large packs of illegal drugs and illegal weapons were found on the hidden basement of the prime minister's home.

The exact location of the basement was 300 meters deep into the ground and was only accessible through eye, blood, finger, and DNA gateways.

Moreover it was using an state of the art camo system which made locating the basement tough.

Although this was shocking news, the even more shocking news was that the prime minister himself was a member of one of the most dangerous underworld organization, Spiders.

The Spiders organization was so low profile that even countries like Russia and United States barely know anything about them.

"Anything on hyperthermal?"

"None sir. Everythings cooled off. Even life signatures are non-existent."

"But their there?"

"Yes sir."

"Tsk."

The prime minister being a member of the Spiders was already problematic. And now, in the process of arrest, he even escaped using state of the art technology from who knows where it came from.

"Sir, message from the president."

"Bring me in."

The commanding officer, Allen, then went into a large tent.

The tent was an surveillance area. Every nook and cranny outside the compound was being watched on multiple screens within here.

On one of the screens, President Macario appeared.

"Commander Allen, report."

"Mr. President, the compound is heavily surrounded and we're ready to bust through at any moment. The capture target's men however, claimed that they have hostages."

Dark lines grew on Macario's forehead when he heard this.

"Can you confirm this?"

"Negative sir. All types of see through equipment have been rendered useless. Through this however, confirmed that they are highly equiped with state of the art equipments."

Macario began to contemplate on this. When he heard that the prime minister was a member of the Spiders organization, he was shocked. A mole was in the government, and not one of them even noticed.

Moreover, the country had issued many projects that went through that prime minister, some even confidential.

They need to capture the prime minister now or who knows what he will do with those confidential secrets.

President Macario then looked at Allen and said,

"Charge in now."

Hearing this, Allen raised an eyebrow.

"Sir?"

"Bust through. As things are still unconfirmed, we don't know if their so called hostages are actually their own people. A mistake now would be a disaster later. So, we need to fix that mistake now I order to avoid that disaster."

"If there are actual hostages. Detain them cuff them up and keep watch. Since we still don't know if their with them or our own country's people."

Allen began to contemplate on the Macario's words.

After thinking for some time, he decided to push through what the President said.

Macario made sense. Their enemies this time was no ordinary organization but it was the Spiders organization. They need to consider all the possible moves that said organization could do.

"I understand. I will issue the order now."

The screen displaying Macario then now disappeared. Allen on the other hand, began to issue orders.

As Allen was issuing his orders, a soldier entered the tent frantically.

"Sir, we have a situation!"

......

*20 minutes earlier*

"Kyle, go run with your sister!"

"Dad! What about you and mom?!"

"Nevermind us now we'll stop them."

Kyle's dad smiled at him and urged them to leave now.

"They're over here!"

"Get those human-animal freaks!"

"Tch, Kyle go now!"

Kyle then ran, ran with his sister, as fast as he could.

They didn't know what happened. A few days ago they were just happily living together with their family. In the next moment however, humans with weird things on them attack their tribe.

They captured every beastfolk they could see, and then brought them here.

And then just a while ago, he overheard something from one of these humans.

"Tch, they have the compound surrounded. Escaping now would be challenging."

"Tsk, if only that weird event hadn't happened, our strength wouldn't have been cut to the lowest."

"Now, it's even lower since our mole was found out."

"Yeah, yeah."

Although he didn't know what these human were talking about, he knew that this was his chance since they were distracted.

And then, it now ended up in this situation.

Although he mustered up everyone to escape, in the end, it still only ended with him and his sister alone.

"Brother."

"Miya, come on were closer to one of those passageways those humans took."

*Rumble, rumble*

Vibrations were felt all over. He didn't know why but it seems like something huge was happening.

But, he couldn't care less about this. He needs to get his sister out of here now. No, he needs to get his family out of here now.

*Ding, Ding, Ding*

"Huh? Brother, what's that?

On their view, their supposed to be passageway (elevator) suddenly opened.

And then, something then went rolling down their direction.

As this grabbed their attention, white flashes then greeted their eyes as it reapetedly done so multiple times.

Then, they heard someone shout,

"On the ground now!!"
