While they were speeding along the plains, a person in green cloak suddenly dived down from the sky.
“Spell! Cracking dive!” Haverit heard the voice.
“This
is not going to work on us!” A few rockets were fired from Viqios’s
rocket launcher while the two suddenly accelerated. The rockets hit the
person, but the green cloak turned brown and the person merely stopped
onto the ground.
“That
person can’t be dying. It is just plain impossible. Stay away. This
fighter could be immune to firearms,” The two suddenly stopped and
Haverit turned around while taking out his Xiovias. “Ha, it appeared
that royalists from the mainland has finally soaked their hands in this
matter, huh? Bring it on!”
“Just
because you are our dictator’s son does not mean that we dare not to
hurt you! Spell! Bound!” Several white rings suddenly surrounded him and
shrunk, trapping him. “Spell! Acid splash!” A few bottles of nitric
acid was falling from the sky.
“Seriously,
you could kill me just now and you use this on me? Let’s see if you can
survive the returning damage. Spell! Warp!” The bottles disappeared
just before they reached his head and crashed onto the person’s head
instead. Smokes were seen emitted from from the cloak.
“We will meet again, traitor,” The person suddenly disappeared.
“This is unusual. They would still fight under that condition,” Haverit locked his Xiovias onto his belt with a holder.
“It’s better to leave that person to the authorities. We better move on. We have no time to spare,” Viqios tapped his shoulder.
“Indeed. Let’s go,” After 2 hours, at the abandoned warehouse in Kufrio city,
“Spell!
Inbound explosion!” A guard’s body was exploded and the person in green
cloak dashed past the computer at the center of the warehouse. Instead
of broke into pieces, the barrier turned from blue to yellow.
“Sorry,
but what you are doing is useless. The unhijacked footage was
discovered somewhere that I will not tell you. You must be the royalists
who clashed and killed another royalists earlier near the norther
borders, right?” Cephiane took out her wand. “Spell! Immobilize!” The
person in green cloak suddenly stopped moving.
“You...”
“A copy is currently being sent there as we speak,”
“I
know that the footage is stored here. You can’t lie to me. Spell!
Unbound!” The person in green cloak walked horizontally. “Can your spell
powers protect this computer?” The person suddenly disappeared and the
barrier turned red just before reappearing at her back.
“Spell!
Thrusting ejection!” The person was suddenly thrown away and crashed
onto the wall. “I can as long as I am here! Spell! Barrier repair!” Her
wand touched the barrier and it turned back to white.
“You
insist that you’ll die first, huh? Your wish is granted! Spell!
Infernal freeze!” Blue flames burnt her alive, but the flames crawled
towards her wand.
“Is
this what you got? You are not as high ranking as what I expected.
Spell! Frostbiting claws!” Fang shaped dry ice blocks stabbed the person
repeatedly for a few seconds.
“Why...you...I will...not...forget...this....” The person teleported away. Back at them,
“Hey, why don’t just stream the whole thing online?” Haverit asked Viqios
“Are
you stupid? It just makes things even worse. The hijacking abilities
are so advanced that they can actually hijack the content from the very
beginning!”
“Do you mean the way the content was broadcasted?”
“Yes.
I’d say that some people in the broadcasting station has hijacked the
live footage by intercepting signals which are used to broadcast it. By
doing this, the aired content will pass through the station members who
examining them and only gets altered when it was viewed somewhere else,”
“So if the content is streamed online, the servers would be actually hacked?”
“In a way, yes, but the actual content is not altered,”
“So if the original footage was rebroadcasted....”
“That
can’t work unless the media used to keep the original footage is used.
The problem is, during the attack on our president, the camera was
destroyed into pieces. The only original footage that we have are the
ones in our possession. The research to restore original content from
hijacked content hasn’t progressed well for months, so we can’t rely on
that as well,”
“If we have it streamed from a foreign source....”
“Do
you think that we can just hand the material to some and have it
streamed from a foreign land? This can cause diplomatic problems and
there is no guarantee that the hijackers would not know about this.
Also, proxies can be hijacked too since that it still connects to local
network,”
“I guess that we have to send the item to my dad as soon as possible. Even then....”
“The
hijacking takes advantage that fiber optic transmission materials are
prone to spells. A computer playing a disc can’t have the content
hijacked that way. That’s why we have to hand the material to the
dictator himself,” At the meantime,
“Are you sure of this, vice president? If the footage is hijacked....”
“I
actually anticipated this and have the footage pre-recorded and
prepared physical copies in large quantities stored in various places.
The problem with last time was that the physical copies were missing.
This time, the media will be able to listen to this press release and
get physical copies,”
“I
have a hunch that this might backfire....” After 10 minutes, the two
walked out to the same room Fyerive was speaking some days earlier.
“Before
I start, here’s the physical copies of what I am going to say,” Papers
were handed out to the journalists sitting in front of him. Suddenly,
faint sounds of people screaming were heard. At a hallway outside of the
room,
“You
are from a demilitarized country. You just plain can’t deal with me
regardless of how many of your personnel come at me!” A person in white
painted armor dashed forward along the hallway, ramming the guards
protecting it. After a few seconds,
“You
are not going to attempt this press release!” The red painted door was
broken as the person was seen behind it. This is very bad....
