The explosion destroyed the power lines going through the entirety of Zeister City. People were left with no electricity, power and even gas. Not that they were allowed to have electricity for their homes. People went outside, watching a dot appear in the sky. It was far from the walls that they were encapsulated by, but they were slowly descending. Most people were gazing at it as if it was an astronomical event. Then the shockwave of the explosion hit them. People were knocked off their feet, windows shattered, and some were even thrown into the air. This was an attack from Dark Intrinium. Macabre Flugel made their alliance public after a delegation from the Septo Corporation And this was the result. The Dark Intrinium fleet hovered above the city, their ships blocking out the sun, casting a shadow over the entire city. The people were terrified; they had never seen such a display of power before. Erika Flügelhart, the leader of Macabre Flugel, was watching from her palace. She was not surprised. She knew this was coming. "It is happening." She said to herself, a hint of excitement in her voice. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. Some people were happy that they were finally going to be free from the far-right organization, but most people panicked. Dark Intrinium wasn't any better than Macabre Flugel. Both were criminals to humanity. But Rakoji, who was knocked unconscious by the shockwave, was not as lucky. He was lying in a pool of his own blood, his body broken and battered. He was at the mercy of the invaders, and because all power got cut off, no one could defend themselves until power was restored again. Communication between the Haupthaus and the city was also unable to be established. Dark Intrinium already won the battle before it even began. "...I figured this would happen, scheisse..." The Unterfuhrer dropped to his knees, expressing frustration. He knew that Dark Intrinium was a force not to be reckoned with and they fell into their hands now. In retaliation however, ships were also sent from Macabre Flugel's end. Both sides were engaged in a dogfight that would dominate the night sky. Lasers, missiles and bombs illuminated the sky, leaving nothing but fire and smoke. People were running, screaming, trying to find shelter from the chaos. The Hauptgenerale made his way on the ground, marching with around 120,000 soldiers. They were all on standby, awaiting orders from the Unterfuhrer himself. "What a situation, I must say." The Hauptgenerale said. "It's a good thing we have been preparing for this." The Unterfuhrer said, a hint of pride and fear in his voice. "They thought they could catch us with our pants down. Fools." "Orders, Unterfuhrer?" "You know what our job is. Kill every scum you see. Make a mess if you need to." He then smirked. "Be a cold-blooded murderer like we all are!" He said to his soldiers, who cheered in response. They were all a bunch of psychopaths, but they were loyal to their cause. Macabre Flugel's army was not to be underestimated. The most loyal force that there was and they would never go down without a fight. They had a large amount of Soul-Wielders on their side, and they were not afraid to use them. But Dark Intrinium had the upper hand. Their technology were far superior, and their numbers were greater. Macabre Flugel was fighting a losing battle, but they were going to make them bleed for every inch of ground they took. The dogfight in the sky was all in Dark Intrinium's favour as the NiV-199 soared through the sky. The best of the best. Macabre Flugel couldn't even scratch them. Their best fighter, the MF-77, was being shot down one by one. On the ground, it was a different story. Macabre Flugel had the home field advantage. They knew the city like the back of their hand, and they used it to their advantage. They were setting up traps, ambushes, and using the environment to their advantage. But Dark Intrinium had about 500 more tanks and were solely focusing on pu
