“Please lay down your weapons and accept our temporary custody. We are only here to judge the criminals and we don’t want to cause unnecessary deaths. All who resist will be considered as the helpers of sinners and we will not show mercy. I repeat, this is not a drill. Please cooperate peacefully.”
A loud cold speech suddenly broke the peaceful atmosphere of a highly protected neighborhood where elites, riches, high ranking government officials and some influential politicians live in a dark night.
Everyone became highly alerted for their lives and started calling relative departments for help.
The bodyguards and security guards instead prepared their gears and weapons for incoming battle.
They knew that they would meet this kind of situation at one day. They got no choice to make a living.
However, this kind of situation is also very rare in the industry. After all, not everyone dare to attack these high class people. Only desperate people will do as they don’t care about consequences.
But, they were wrong and terribly wrong. They knew it soon at the very last minutes of their lives.
Five Ezit type one armed troop transporters were hovering in the air above the rich neighborhood at that moment. The loud declaration speech came out from one of them.
A few seconds after the declaration ended, four armed troop transporters moved out from the formation and landed on four different parts of the neighborhood with intention to completely seal off the area.
The last one landed on the center. Then, a dozen tall men in armors came out of the opened hatch.
The place they landed is the open front lawn of a villa. It is also the home of their primary target.
In front of the armory of the villa, a group of bodyguards in black suits were hurriedly equipping themselves with fully automatic machine guns, night vision goggles and bullet-proof vests.
They are all well-trained elite veterans from ranger divisions. After discharge, they were recruited by DSS (Department of Secret Service) to protect important officials of the government.
And, they’re now guarding the vice-president of the previous administration, Howard J. Bush.
He’s also the presidential nominee from Republican party for the next incoming term in 2001.
The middle age politician sat behind the desk in the study room and asked the secret service agent responsible for his protection, “Jarred, do you know what’s exactly going on?”
The bald agent listened to his teammates’ reports through his earpiece and said calmly, “We are in a big trouble. Mr. Bush, I feel that I should inform you about this since the requirement is fulfilled at this point. The world we live in is full of mysteries and these guys at the outside are one of them.”
He walked towards the windows, pulled away the curtains to look at the outside and said to the radio, “I see them. Hold your weapons but don’t engage. I repeat, don’t engage with the intruders. Invite them to the living room and I will meet them with Mr. Bush. Remember to invite them politely.”
Then, he looked seriously at the middle age politician and said, “Mr. Bush, let’s go down and meet them. Trust me. We have no other choice than talking to them and fulfill their requirements directly. Of course, in the worst situation of involving your life, we are dying together with you.”
Howard J. Bush looked at his familiar yet seemingly really unfamiliar secret agent chief Jarred and stood up silently. He then tidied up his outfit a little bit, glanced at his family photo on the desk and asked, “Since I’m already qualified, can you please explain me about them on the way?”
Jarred walked over, opened the door and said, “They are the extremely strong and dangerous armed forces working for the origin church. If I’m not wrong, they are that infamous group of guys who dared to target a city’s mayor last year. The crime of that mayor was trafficking the children. Their name is probably called guardian spirits and they are the followers of Sun God Steller if I’m not wrong.”

Howard J. Bush walked out of the study room. He looked at the two secret service agents in the corridor and asked, “Do your men also know about them?”
Jarred closed the door and said calmly, “DSS itself is a part of sector zero. We all know about them.”
Howard J. Bush looked back at Jarred and asked doubtfully, “Sector zero?”
Jarred gestured at Howard J. Bush to walk and explained as they walked towards the stairs, “Our founding fathers were fully aware about the existence of the mysterious occult world. So, they created sector zero to observe the hidden world closely and to secretly supervise the government and cooperate with the occult world council if it’s involving the life and death of our republic.”
Howard J. Bush hurried down the stairs and asked curiously, “Do President Clinton also know about your existence and true identity?”
Jarred walked side by side with Howard J. Bush and answered calmly, “He doesn’t know about us. Since he only knew about the military strength of the origin church thanks to the strange alien fleet one month ago because of NASA, he didn’t meet the requirements enough to know about us.”
“How many people work for sector zero?”, Howard J. Bush asked curiously.
Unfortunately, Jarred simply said, “It involves secrecy rules and I cannot tell you that.”
When Howard J. Bush heard it, he felt disappointed. However, he didn’t pause a bit and walked into the living room. At there, he saw a group of over 7-feet tall guys in good looking white armors.
Noticing the delicately decorated beautiful sun’s emblems on the chest armor plates, Howard J. Bush immediately connected it with the sun god followers which Jarred just said on the way.
“Gentlemen, I don’t think I’ve committed any crimes nor something which could anger the god.”
Howard J. Bush looked at the tall and strong strangers in identical white armors and said out aloud.
Then, he asked seriously, “So, may I know why you broke into my property tonight and what you need me to do? My secret service chief just advised me to cooperate with your needs while we were walking from my study room to here. And, I don’t think I’ll help you if your need involves confidential things.”
The tall armored stranger who was standing in the middle of the armored strangers team put his left hand on the chest plate or exactly the sun emblem on the chest plate and introduced themselves.
“We are the guardian spirits serving the noble sun god Steller. I’m the head of the legion, L. We are here to track down the network who were specially targeting the children to make something called youth potions with the help of heretic warlords. We must end this madness.”
Then, he faced Howard J. Bush and asked, “According to our investigation results before the great change, the top of the criminal network pointed to you, Mr. Bush. Do you have anything else to say?”
The latter’s face changed greatly and he said angrily, “I don’t know what you’re talking about Mr. L. There is definitely some misunderstandings here. I may not be a good guy but my bottom line is not too low enough to target the children just to make something called youth potions.”
The scene fell into a short silence. Secret service agents looked at Howard J. Bush in surprise first and then they looked at their chief Jarred. When they saw the latter shaking his head, they calmed down.
“You didn’t lie. It seems that our investigation went wrong at some points. Don’t worry. We will not wrong someone for the crimes he didn’t commit.”, L, self-reported leader of armored strangers, said.
After that, L took out a small cloth bag mysteriously like a magician. He tossed it towards Jarred and said, “This is the compensation for our mistake. There are ten gold coins in it and you can spend them in any origin church. Just say our name and there will be guides helping you. Excuse us. Sorry for the trouble. Have a good night, gentlemen. I wish to see your souls the same like tonight in the future too.”
They just left like that. In just a minute, they went back into the very cool looking vehicle and left.
However, their sudden arrival caused nearly three dozens deaths that night. Several congressmen in the neighborhood were killed together with two ultra-rich businessmen. It’s simply a tragedy.
It’s reported as a terrorist attack at the next day’s morning news on the city’s TV channel.
Many people were simply outraged after hearing about that and concerns over the public security arose.
After all, even the important people can be attacked while the security in their neighborhoods are lower.
But, that night, the presidential nominee, Howard J. Bush, of the republican party had a long talk with his security chief from secret service. He kept asking about the mysterious occult world from Jarred.
Although many questions didn’t get the answers, he was still satisfied to know a lot of things.
Especially, he realized about how stupid the current president Clinton was for targeting the origin church months ago. He also frankly admitted that he might probably do the same thing if he didn’t know about the mysterious occult world and the mysterious sector zero hiding in the shadows.
However, after knowing about some basic information about the occult world from Jarred, he decided that he would never take care of the shits involving the occult world and he even swore to hunt down those malicious heretic warlords doing evil things and all those who cooperated with them.
