Preparation (Short)

After Xythis hung up, the group were left worried about what they should do. The loyal guard took back their phone and placed it in their pocket. They asked "What is our next move, sir?"

Jason stayed silent until answering "I honestly don't know... With the kind of strength that this lunatic has, its going to be difficult for us to even accomplish this fight." Jason sat down at the nearest chair and continued "But Pelias gone and Mohawks in full control of Londinium, we're walking into judgement day."

"To what little hope that we had in liberating Londinium, gone!" Said Yuri, his voice sounded like he was admitting defeat immediately, despite the current amends made.

Suddenly, "There... Has to be a way." The group faced Liam who got up, despite not properly recovering.

Grant ran to his brother and told him, "Hey, take it easy! You still need to rest..?"

Liam interrupted him, saying "I can't! We can't!" He got up, though he temporarily struggled to balance properly. He continued "We have only been here for less than a week or so and already we have seen the misery that is this city and how it has affected people around them!"

Jessica asked "But what on earth are you guys going to do? It's not like the whole of Londinium is willing to band together and fight the Mohawks."

Liam remarked "Oh please! That is like a trope that I feel like is getting overused!"

Grant asked "Then what do you propose we do?"

Liam answered "We... We... We die trying!"

The room went silent for a minute. What Liam proposed was absolutely absurd and felt ripped off from some motivating tv cartoon or something. The room continued to be filled with silence.

"I say let's do it." Said Grant, surprising everyone including Liam. "Xythis may try and intimidate us... But if we plan this then maybe, just maybe, we'll increase our odds and be able to claim this city."

Jason asked "What do you propose?"

Grant answered "Its simple... We take down, as the British say, 'tossers'." Grant displayed a map showing the Mohawks location.

"How did you get this?" Asked Jessica.

"Borrowed it." Said Grant, "From your office." Jessica expressed shock as to how Grant managed to get a copy of the Mohawks base before Grant remarked "You shouldn't leave your computer on while keeping people captive." Making Jessica grow annoyed by Grant.

"Okay." Said Grant, "Here's the plan..."
