The group walked towards the building, after getting inside they went up some stairs before entering a large open area, most likely the school's STEM area.
They walked around some pillars before coming across a room that had tables and chairs in a horseshoe shape, facing towards a television. On the other side of these tables were couches, just like the chairs they were facing the television.
There were already a few people in there, some setting up the tv while others were sitting down talking to one another. Each of them had a military uniform on, some had more badges then others. That's when Lachlan knew that Adam(J) was the highest rank since he had some medals along with a cooler badge.
It had a unique looked diamond on it that had a pattern on it. Beneath the diamond was a sword and gun barrel overlapping each other.
Lachlan looked towards the people here and analysed them all, he was impressed. Most of them had some naturally high stats, not to mention they all had their own tamed beasts. Well most of them, there was one fat man sitting down that was extremely weak.
Lachlan and the rest stood by the pillars while Adam(J) went up to the person setting up the tv, after confirming some things he stood up in front, seeming to wait for everyone to quiet down. It didn't take long, only seconds, but everyone had shut up and gave Adam their full attention.
"Alright, so after some thinking, I've decided we'll go with the attack plan," He said.
A few people gasped, one of the people even getting physical when he slammed his hand on the table, "Are you insane! We haven't even finished the plan and I don't want to wait for those beasts to attack". It was the old and fat man, he had white hair, greens eyes and a chubby face. Although he sounded like he cared for the wellbeing of everyone Adam(J) knew that this man only cared for his own life.
Lachlan was also the least pleased with this person. From the stats it seemed he has had a good easy-going life, he might have got his high military position from connections, since his stats were so pathetic even Chloe could overpower him.
An old woman stood up next, she had blonde-white hair, brown eyes, and when she stood up her height came to roughly 5'4. She admitted an aura, Lachlan checked again and saw she didn't have any elemental control so he was confused.
He did make sense of it after thinking about it, it was something he's read in books and seen in movies. Certain people can emit an aura by their own free will without any powers, it was something they've gained through rigorous training and dangerous situations.
Rather not just her, but most of the people inside this room did emit a similar aura, some weaker than others. Of course, the fat man was one of the only ones that didn't, rather it seemed he was cowering when confronted by this aura.
"But sir, this operation really hasn't been fully planned, going in full guns blazing without an actual plan could get many killed," She said calmly.
"Well that would be the case, but we have some new helpers, you may introduce yourselves," Adam said as he gestured for them to move over to him.
Most of the group stood in front, aside from Chloe and Sarah, everyone else introduced themselves and a bit about themselves.
"Hi, I'm Adam I've tamed a spider".
"Hello there, the names Alfredo and I've tamed my dog".
"Hello, I'm Jack and I tamed a lizard".
"Dylan, two snakes".
"Hey, the names Lachlan and I've tamed three birds".
Aside from Dylan, everyone gave a proper introduction. However, some of the people present within the room weren't too happy seeing Dylan's attitude towards them. For Dylan however, he was just a bit shy in front of so many high ranking people.
So he kept his introduction short and quiet. But some of the people in this room thought of it as disrespectful, the fat man especially.
"Boy show some respect for your elders!" The fat man said. He just embarrassed himself in front of these people, he needed to do something to gain a bit of respect.
"In this new world the only ones that can demand respect are the strong, and you fat man, are certainly not strong," Dylan said in a threatening voice.
The fat man was stunned by Dylan's rudeness, but couldn't say anything. Although he had a lot to say, all of the things he wanted to say only matter to the world before the world changed. So, he decided to shut up and sit down, still slightly grumpy.
Seeing how the situation played out caused Adam(J) to laugh, "Good, then I wonder why you respected me when we met".
"Because you're strong," Dylan explained.
"Oh, and how do you know that?" He asked.
"I've seen a few strong people now, all of them are able to emit an aura, most of the ones released by the higher-ups in the military exude a calm and serene aura, while other may radiate a threatening one, and aside from the fatty over there everyone else has that strength," Dylan explained.
"Well I'll be damned, I suppose that's true. Aside from the one you call fat man, everyone else here has gone through gruelling training and harsh battlefields," Adam(J) explained.
The fat man couldn't take being humiliated anymore and stood up.
"Where do you think you're going?" The old women asked.
"Outside to clear my head," He replied. He walked towards a door and walked outside onto the balcony.
"Don't worry about him, he's just hot-tempered," Adam(J) said.
The group nodded before walking back to the pillars and stood in a line, shortly waiting for Adam(J) to explain the plan to them.
The screen lit up behind him and he began explaining, "Alright, so from the intel we've gathered we can determine that the beast is within one of these large houses," He pointed towards a cluster of large houses all pilled near the centre of the area.
"Surround them are many beasts, all with extreme strength and possibly complete loyalty. As you get further and further from the centre you will come across very weak beasts, some which even a normal human could take down," He said.
A series of photos went by, all of the different beasts. But they all had one thing in common, they were weak, well, weak compared to their allies. They seemed to be of insects, mainly flies, lice and bacteria.
The evolved bacteria were incredibly weak, similar to insects before the evolution. Flies and Lice didn't change too much, just got slightly larger.
"We haven't got a clear photograph of the intelligent beast yet, anyone we send would never make it back while all drones have been shot down. Now I'm not going to say much, aside from that we are pretty much going in blind, anyone got any idea to make it safer?" Adam(J) asked although he knew he wouldn't actually get a reply.
The group kept quiet about the powers. Although they were sure it could save a lot of people, it may also be used against people once this all blows over, and they really don't want that.
"Okay so there's no plan, we know the general area of the beasts and how to get there, we'll give everyone a map with the directions, follow it strictly and everything should work out perfectly," Adam(J) said.
"How will it work out perfectly!" Chloe finally snapped back and realised what was happening. She had just lost her husband, she would not let her children follow the same path.
"Because we've planned for this moment, we just need everyone to do what they're supposed to do and no one will die. And don't worry, should things get risky your group can be the first to leave, we'll back them up," Adam(J) tried to calm her down, he knew how much a mother cared for her children, not to mention the news she just heard.
"Can't you plan a bit more, there's plenty of other ways to go about this," Chloe still rejected it.
"If there was another way we would have gladly gone with it, but unfortunately, there isn't so this is what we're left with," Adam(J) said dejectedly, they really did plan quite a bit but this is all they've got, directions.
"Mum, it's okay we're strong enough to handle this, you need to trust us more," Jack said. He understood how Chloe was feeling but he shouldn't allow those emotions to get in the way of what is good for humanity.
"Don't worry Chloe, should anything go wrong I'll help them escape," Dylan said. He felt as though he owed the family at least that much, they took him in and pretty much gave them a new family. He also didn't want this new family to die.
"What about protection, they can wear something to protect them can't they?" Chloe was beginning to accept it as when she looked towards the other she noticed they seem keen on going. She also knew this was greatly needed but she wouldn't allow for her boys to go without anything to help.
