Alex can feel that they currently are afraid, but no one is talking.. these are a group of highly trained soldier, they must have been trained to resist torture before...
Alex moves closer between two people "You two give me an answer in the count of three, the first one talk lived, the other die...
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
.
no response...
.
Impressive... Alex can feel the terror within their helplessness but still none of them talk... Alex didn't wait for long and active the amulet again..
.
two more sacrifices...
.
.
Alex starts seeing doubt in their eyes...
He needed to give the last push... He told the group his last resort...
"I bet all of you must want to live, nobody wanted to die, but I guess if you betray your organization, you will be hunted by them or worst, your family and friends might be in their control, and I am sure some of you were just hoping for the chance that one among you would be stupid enough to talk first, and afterward I will let the other leave after I got the information"
"you thought wrong!!, I will let only ONE of you leave and the other will die here.., I don't have much time, only the first person who speaks, I will count to Three"
"One"
.
.
"I will tell you everything..." surprisingly its the guy with the white shirt...
.
.
"COMMMANDERR!!!" The others are really angry that their leader betrays them..
Alex said... "Spill it"
.
"I am commander Hans, no one here knows more about our organization than me. I am guessing from that talkative Robert, you already know part of what we are... Yes, we were built from the last remnants of the Nazi empire, we are the Iron Eagle squadron, part of the Ahnenerbe Organization, our objective is always the same which is to find our true origin"
In 1935 The Ahnenerbe Organisation was founded by the Nazi party, it was filled with many famous archeologist and scholars. Since then, they have been excavating ruins and collecting relics all over the world, they have found proof of the existence of extraterrestrial entity since the findings of the first Doomsday artifacts.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Since then, they have been in lust for power and searching for other relics. Their mistake was to turn their mission into the politic, they believe with a stronger country they could have better support for to achieve their goal. They thought wrong, when they lost the war, the remaining member of Nazi SS military agents joined up with the Ahnenerbe Organisation hence the establishment of Iron Eagle squadron...
History wrote that the Ahnenerbe organization has been disband in 1945. Instead, the organization keeps building up their forces, doing research, and searching for an answer. They planted small cells all over the world. They have found and follow the professor for many years, when the professor loses his funding. It's them who set up the science of the human civilization foundation for the professor. They hope to get more access to the professor findings and also acquire the artifact.
"Interesting, how many artifacts did the organization found?"
"I am not sure, at least three that I know of, I am one of the three commanders, i know all of us each got one"
"Good now handed over your artifact and ring to me"
Hans "..."
"Or else I can just kill you and acquire it easily when it lose its master"
The artifact can be bound to others when the owner died, but it can also be handed over telepathically by releasing its ownership.
Alex manages to acquire two more artifacts, a low-grade armor and another low-grade storage ring.. There are some items inside, mostly weapons, this is the reason they can bring weapon easily to the other country. The armor itself function to resist any kind of impact, low or medium strength.. this particular type should resist two impacts in a few days until can be used again... This type of armor is quite common later on. But at this time, it could be a life-saving artifact.
After Alex took the artifact, as a promise, he releases Hans. Alex next sentence surprise him.
"Tell your leader, from all his findings, I am sure he knows a little bit about the coming end of days.. tell him it will come in two weeks.. if he interested to know more he can contact me"
Hans not sure how to react, he was not planning to return to the organization, but Alex message could turn beneficial for him, it can become his excuses to return. Hans then wonders what Alex would do to the rest of his team. Release or kill them...
"you can leave now"
Alex didn't tell him anything about what he's going to do to them.. its only mean one thing. Hans prefers the leader doesn't hear information about his betrayal.. He could just say he was captured and released... everything in between will be foggy as long as all those other men died. Hans then walks away from the chamber...
"COMMANNDERRR!!!!... You TRAITOROUS BASTARDS!!!"
Alex sees the look of this 12 angry men.. they are in despair.. after a little thought... Alex still decides to turn to the Amulet... place the amulet on their forehead.. one after another...
"AAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!" "NO!!! AAAAAGGHH!!"
12 more sacrifices...
.
it's a slaughter.
Alex actually hates to do this... its a different matter between killing an enemy in battle than killing a captured one... But this amulet will be important for his goal.. even more, the cure for his daughter. His past experience of killing and seeing too much death help him more decisive in choosing to save life or taking life... This is the reason he sends Aria and the others out... not many people will understand this...
When he's finished, Alex frowns... 15 sacrifices, he can feel its barely enough to activate the amulet he needs more, and he only has less than two weeks left.
Alex returned to the Mexico City and met with the group, Alex told the professors about the
Ahnenerbe organization and remind him again about the Doomsday...
The professor said "All of this artifacts and hidden chamber is fascinating, but it doesn't prove the doomsday will come at the end of this month"
It's not that the professor doubts Alex word, deep down the professor himself can't accept it, the life as he knows it will change so soon.
"You have been following this for 40 years professors, it's all come to this... you have the responsibility to tell the world, your decision will save many lives."
The professor currently is speechless...
"You do what you have to do professor, do nothing or convince as many people as possible, but I really need you to be in Indonesia in the 20th, I need you to help me with a plan" Alex then give the storage ring he got from Hans and give it to the professor, hopefully, it will help the professor convince more people. He already moves every Hans item into his first ring.
Alex then told Aria to get a ticket back to Bali, but Cindy stopped him...
"You're going back to Bali? I decided to go with you... I want to see the ruin in Bali, I want to see by myself your preparation and seriousness for the coming doomsday as you say it" "Don't worry I will not bother you much, in fact, I can help you with the ruin translations"
Come to think about it in his past life, not many people understand about the ruins, the Doomsday pillars have minimum information about the ruins, there might be some connection, Alex wonders why the ruins and artifacts were already here on earth in the first place.
Before taking the flight he called James Randall, "The third favor can already start, the date is the 20th"
