The Plan

“I was part of that rescue team, me, our Gamma-3 alternate…
Several Alpha-1 and Beta-2 operatives” the Exiled said
“When we found Beta-2 in the prison, we hardly recognized him
This dictator was running wild with fear and anger, a total hothead…
 
We called ourselves the sorcerers, others thinks it’s magic
We were in and out of there in less than an hour  
But before I left I snuck into one of their researcher’s quarters
There I saw the plans, they’d been trying to figure out its power
 
I’d been through several universes and seen the evil that men do
This was no different, but this Dictator was completely obsessed  
They had depleted their resources and he convinced his all generals
That fate was calling them to rule the world, they were possessed
 
Sometime later we found out his wife died during childbirth
He had a son but he claimed his wife’s death was suspicious”
“Until you went back” the Magnificent said as he appeared
“You went back, ran havoc on the palace, it was very malicious”
 
The Magnificent and the Master appeared tired and exhausted
WAE asked “What happened?” as our alternates seem distraught
“We’ve been evacuating prisoners and citizens from the capital
He’ll declare war in two days” the Master said “we almost got caught”
 
“We saw the device” the Magnificent said “it runs for miles
They plan to open the portal the day after his military parade”
“Parade?” I asked “Yes” the Magnificent replied “a fucking parade…
He wants show the world his power before they go on this raid”
 
“Flood it” a message came through to all of our braces
The Magnificent and the Master had reported back to Alpha-1
“Flood it” the message said again, but it sounded like a riddle
But the text came from Beta-2 “Flood it before it sees the sun”
 
‘Why is he talking in riddles” I asked when the Exiled began
“I don’t know but whatever it is, there won’t be much time
We have to find our alternate there and get him out
Otherwise they’ll power the device with their new design”
 
“They’re able to track our locations” the Master said
“Once inside, their computers started tracking our locations”
“They’re already looking for us” the Exiled added, “that’s good
We have ten portal devices so we have to shake their foundations”
 
“What do you mean?” I asked then the Exiled had a sinister smile
“We have to move portal to portal, create chaos and confusion
They’ll think there are hundreds of us while we maneuver stealthily”
“Like magic” the Magnificent said “just like one of my illusions”  
 
“Once we find our alternate, we’ll reconvene outside of the city
The palace is heavily guarded” the Master said “they’re everwhere”
“Any soldier that tries to shoot, send them to an ugly place”
“Where?” I asked. “To hell” he answered “To hell for all I care”
 
The Master opened a portal for all five of us to walk through
The night was cool and we could hear sirens in the distance
“Alright, they know we’re here, so spread out” the Magnificent said
“Create chaos, they’ve never encountered this kind of resistance…”
 
 
Meanwhile on Beta 2…
 
A computer monitor turns on
Walter sits in front of it as a woman comes on the screen
“There’s chatter that they found the source” she says
“They did” he replies as he runs his finger across a scar on his cheek
 
“Where?” she asks
“AAGM” Walter replies
“Damn it” she says looking up then back at the screen
“Who did they send?” she asks
“The Magnificent, the Master, the Ego, and a rookie, he’s a Poet” he replies
 
“A poet?” she says in disbelief
“Yes” he answers. “And the Exiled is with them”
 
“I know you promised me” she says
“I know you promised me and I love you for that”
 
“That was a long time ago honey” Walter says
 
“Do what you need to do” she says. “Do what you do best…”
