>You're waiting here in a dark room
>Waiting for someone to enlighten you
>The door opens
"I should've known you were behind this, Chloe..."
>Your distant cousin closes the door behind her and gives you a smirk
>"That's not how you greet an old family member, Norman." She says playfully.
>You're not amused by this. You just want answers.
"What do you want from me?"
>"I just invited you here so we could have a talk."
"Invited!?" There is no hiding the anger in your voice. "That's what you call sending those students after me!?"
>"Sorry if they were a little 'rough' with you, but we've got a serious situation here." She paces to the other side of the room.
>"Only you can get us out of this."
>You look up at her from your seat on a stack of fertilizer bags and give her a stern look. This storage shed is quite roomy.
"You're just my cousin, not my commander. I don't have to take orders from you or anyone else."
>She paces across the room again. "You'll take these orders...I know you will."
>You continue to scrutinize her, waiting for the inevitable answers you seek.
>"It all went down five hours ago..." She started explaining. "Heavily armed students occupied Canterlot High. Our high school."
>You can feel the tension mounting in the air around you.
"What students?"
>The North Canterlot Fraternity of Saints, led by Nolan North and his crew. They've presented Principal Celestia with a single demand, and they say if it isn't met, they'll do unspeakable things to various locations within the school."
"Various things?"
>Your curiosity is at its peak, and you have most of your answers.
>Chloe nods. "You'll have two objectives. First, You're to rescue Roman Roland. He knows every nook and cranny in the school, and will be a valuable asset in finding your way to Nolan. And also to rescue Rod Primehoof. We have reason to believe he's being held because Nolan intends to deal with him personally. We want him so we can turn him into the police for aiding and abetting the takeover of the school. They're both being held hostage by the Saints."
"Those are some...pretty useless hostages."
>Chloe nods in agreement and continues, pacing all the while.
>"Secondly, you're to investigate whether the Saints actually have the ability to ruin the campus to the degree which they're claiming, and stop them if they do."
>"Any questions, Norman?"
"Questions? I never said that I accept in the first place..."
>"Well, you can make up your mind after you hear more about the mission." Chloe shrugs and continues.
>What the hell is going on? She's acting like you've already accepted and don't even know it yet. Also, it's getting pretty stuffy in this shed with these long-winded explanations. You tug your color a little in a pathetic attempt to cool off.
"Tell me a little about the takeover. I haven't heard much since this morning."
>Chloe seems pleased with your sudden interest.
>"The Saints Bro Fraternity has taken complete control of the inside of the high school. None of the faculty are being let inside, and Principal Celestia is getting desperate. She can't afford to meet their demand, and we have no idea what's going on in there."
>A couple things just became a little more clear.
"So someone needs to penetrate, gather intelligence, and report back? Sounds like a those Metal Gear video games. How am I getting in?"
>"Well, going in through the roof is impossible. None of the ladders in here are tall enough, and that's a little dangerous. We'll just be sending you in through the side entrance where food and supply deliveries are made to the school. You know, the big garage door around back the back of the school that goes in at the basement level?"
>You give her a flat look.
"Can't say that I do. I'm not much of an adventurer, Chloe."
>"Whatever, you'll know it soon enough."
>You sigh. This whole thing is quite exasperating to be honest. You just want to go home and hop on Xbox LIVE. You just want to get some fragging in before the day is over. Instead, you just get someone else's problems thrust upon you.
"Is there at least gonna be someone going with me? Brad, maybe? Scott? Hell, I'll even take Purple at this point. This is a pretty big undertaking for someone like me."
>"Uh-uh. This is a one-man infiltration mission. We can't afford sending others in with you. If we did, things might get ugly fast. It's easier for one to stay under the raider than many. You'll have to procure any supplies yourself once you're in the school. The students under Nolan's influence can NOT find out that you're helping the faculty."
>Again you sigh. Maybe you can speed this along by getting to some of the more important parts.
"So the Saints...What exactly are they demanding?"
>"They want to be able to..."do it"...in the bathrooms between classes." Chloe blushes intensely.
"...What?"
>What else were you going to say? What the hell is with that demand? You thought it'd be something like...a longer lunch period or maybe less restricted study hall periods. What the hell is Nolan thinking?
"No, really, what? When was this demand made?"
>"Weren't you listening!? I told you it was 5 hours ago!"
>Oh, right. Silly you.
"How well armed are the Saints? I know Nolan has a penchant for making weird things in shop class from time to time."
>"Heavily armed, I'm afraid. All those weird things? They're using them. Plus janitorial tools. Anything to keep the faculty or those close to them from getting in. They might have even brought a few BB guns."
"Wait, isn't that illegal?"
>"Yeah, but it's not like anyone would have thought this would happen, so nobody said anything."
>This town will be your end.
>"Nolan's closest allies are the most experienced fighters and tacticians he has on hand, so you'll have to be careful around them. everyone else shouldn't be much of a problem as long as you don't wear your allegiances openly."
"Yeah, I'll be lying about that stuff."
>You shift on your seat. This fertilizer is hurting your ass.
>You kind of space out for the next twelve minutes as she continues ranting on about The Saints and the whole "Take over the school" thing.
>You think she even goes on a small rant about their "demand".
>"NORMAN!"
>You snap back to attention.
"O-oh, uh? Yeah, I heard you."
>"Good, now put this on."
>She forcefully ties a blue bandanna around your head and attaches a bluetooth earpiece to your ear.
>You're confused. What do you need the bandanna for?
>Before you can ask, she grabs you by the collar of your jacket, hauls you to the door, and throws you out."
>"Mission start, now get going! I'll be in contact via your receiver in a bit!"
>...
>Well, maybe if you don't try too hard, you can get this over with and go home.
 
To Be Continued.
Fucking shit that took forever.
