Mercenaries In Apocalypse.

Percy observed everyone as he stood. He, James and Jason sat at one side while Lucifer, Diana, Sophie and Kevin sat at the other side. The four of them had a dazed expression. As percy sat down and took a sip of water, Diane frowned and raised her hand.

"Yes, Diane go ahead." Percy replied to Diane's hand.

"Well, its hard to believe the story but let us believe for just a moment that it is true. So, your aim for us is to fight against a race of beings who we called 'God'. Even if we do fight them how is it different from a suicide ?" Diane said with an expression of rage and anger.

As Lucifer heard her question, he interrupted her, " Why now ?"

"Looking at the file I assume your organization has been aware of this thing since a long time and yet it is today you bring up such a matter. Is there any specific reason or was it just you weren't prepared ?"

"Before we get to your part, Diane, I would like to answer Lucifer", said Percy.

"As far as preparations are considered, we aren't prepared yet to face them."

As the four heard Lucifer say this they were perplexed.

"As to why now, let me tell you that. After we found the Base, those jerks at U.N. found it too later and sent a mission, well practically it was supervised by my organization. Anyways, as they researched the base they found a sample of the virus on the base, sealed in a room. The virus was just a prototype to cure the curse which went wrong. Instead of curing us it would bring about a fundamental change in our DNA and mutate Humans and any other living organism and majority of them will die. And they plan to release it soon."

As he spoke, he face turned gloomy.

Kevin, who was silent till now said, " I know those idiots are crazy, but they value their life. Why would they do it ? Wouldn't the virus Mutate them too ?"

"Not really, if they contain the spread and isolate themself it won't affect them. But what would they get by doing that." Sophie beside Diane said with a grim voice.

"You see, the virus will bring mutations but there are chances of Humans evolving due to it too. And those jerks have already planned it all. The virus will also bring a fundamental change to our planet gradually and introduce us to a new energy source used by our predecessors- unlimited cosmic energy. " Percy said.

"What has that got to do with us being gathered here ? Are we supposed to save the planet ?" Diane was still mad at Percy said sarcastically.

"We aren't doing such a thing as it doesn't matter. This time period will be used by us to train and better use some things here and there." Percy said.

"Any more questions ?" Asked Percy.

"Since no more questions, then i believe you guys are ready. Lets get started then. Let me introduce you to Jason the vice captain of our team and the one who will train you. Take some rest, digest the facts. Until further notice you are dismissed." Percy said pointing to Jason.

The team of four went to their respective rooms and started pondering about what just happened to them.

Meanwhile, Jason and James were discussing some tactics for training, Percy sat on his seat with his eyes closed. Even though he had warned U.N. council, he knew they would not listen to his demand without any amendments. Still it would be better than nothing. At least this would give people some hope.
