Conspiracy of Dragons, puppets and puppeteers - MHC


Generalissimo

Recommended Posts

Background: The MHC have been around since ancient times. Originally they were hunters that targeted creatures such as Dragons, Werewolves, Vampires, and other creatures like them but over the centuries their purpose seemed to change from hunting down Dragons to taking over the world instead. The Dragons have still been their main enemy but during modern times they have been using nearly unlimited resources to start wars and plunge the world into Chaos so that they could rise from the ashes of worldwide destruction and take over the world themselves.*

 

They have agents in nations all over the world and they have been doing their work in the shadows, they have succesfully manipulated entire governments without being detected and continue to cause wars such as the Russian-SEATO War and now the Shanghai-Japan War as well. Their forces were the ones responsible for the nuclear attacks on Asia that started another nuclear war between Japan and China which devestated the entire continent which still remains in the memories of those who survived it. No one knows if anything other than world domination motivates them but they do know that the MHC won't stop until they take over the world or destroy it.

 

The Master: That is the name of the mysterious leader of the MHC. Only those who work closest to him/her/it know who the Master really is but even then that number is extremely small. Others only know the MHC leader by the title "The Master" and usually get their orders through proxies of her agents. 

 

Known to her limited but continuously dwindling personal associates by the alias of Sasha - the real mastermind behind MHC. Someone who actually knew exactly what MHC actually stand for. Sasha wasn't her name but only nomenclature that she answered to; because names might power unto themselves, particularly when dealing with dragons. 

 

By luck or fate Sasha managed being the only survivor of the legendary Slavorussian Dark Hand who outlived both Justinian's regime and organization itself. From one ancient world spanning conspiracy to another was an easy transition. Just an issue of clawing, scraping, betraying, and killing herself to MHC leadership and using her Dark Hand expertise to further the dragons' agenda. 

 

 

* Existence of Dragons, Werewolves, Vampires are something believed within MHC.

Doesn't necessarily make conspiracy's mythology as objective truth.

(Recent) MHC Operations (File Genesis 4:16)

 

Delta Squad: Rise of the Dragon Empire

Delta Squad files describe Nuclear attacks on Shanghai and throughout of Asia by manipulating a terrorist "dragon" named Chin, The war with Russia, and subsequent fall of many Asian governments such as India and Macau following legislative inactivity.

 

Mother Russia: Russian-SEATO

Russia's war influenced by MHC using the "Vampire Lady" Upyr to manipulate and control the Russian Emperor.

 

Main SEATO

SEATO is currently the primary enemies of MHC. Nuisances and interlopers that shall be dealt with in time. Although no direct mentions of the organization are recorded by name clear influences are present. 

 

Macau Madness

Primary ongoing conflict MHC is responsible for starting.  Beginning with assassination of Macau leadership, manipulation of a Japanese General into ordering rogue Special Forces to initiate war against Shanghai by hijacking Shanghai tanks and firing at Japanese lines with them. All done without leadership on any side knowing. . .

Sasha lounged around in the back corner a pleasant café mulling of the briefings of a disposable agent.

Escalations between Imperium of Japan and sharks circling the blood in the water. . .

. . .everything continued to dramatically escalate.

Just as planned.

 

As usual the masses and their blind governments wouldn’t see what coming until much too late as the world is again plunged into another unnecessary war. Not like unnecessary wars proved anything new. It’s all in the games’ inherent nature, games played from the beginning of time, only difference being who moved the pieces. Today she manipulated all of the pieces on the board from a pleasant café. Sasha mused that causation isn’t always correlation as ignorant morons easily might rush to kill themselves without her subtle prodding. Would that War of Apocalypse that destroyed all nations except Bears and Tikal (such minor oversights would be corrected soon enough) have actually happened without her directing Tianxia and Athens into a war that destroyed the world order? From the ashes of that a new disorder was born! New opportunities, a boundless frontier, unclaimed territory open for exploitation. Everything would be moving in their direction but a single reoccurring obstacle. Removing a resurging Eurasia from active play would preemptively eliminate a growing threat facing MHC by destabilizing a region of increasingly more dangerous interlopers. Like old times, kind of, enough for a mastermind to maybe start being nostalgic about everything.

 

As everything was coming together Sasha began putting together a meeting with two rather important operatives. . .

She normally meeting dual operatives an unnecessary risk.

Master was confident enough for today.

Just another day in the back corner of a pleasant café.

Jesse knew that their war against the MHC was far from over. Although they might have revealed Henry as a traitor there were still many more that were a part of his Dark Claw group in countries all over the world. Jordan asked what their next moves were and the answer from Jesse was simple. "Our next move is to watch and wait for the MHC's next moves. We were able to reveal Henry as a traitor but there are many more working with him and sooner or later the MHC are going to strike again and when they do we need to be ready."

 

Meanwhile Henry would send a message to the MHC leader:
 

Emperor Jesse and his friends were able to get a lot of data from the base in Macau but luckily your identity remains hidden to them. Everything is still going according to plan so be sure to make sure the next part of our plan is ready when the time comes. Soon it will be time for the MHC to strike again and when you do they will have no idea what hit them.

Our mutual enemies might be starting to catch on.

Extent of that realization is being tested.

Please avoid unnecessary risks.

Softer targets are preferred targets.

If you’re unsure of your capabilities to engage – don’t risk it.

My dearest Hereweald*,

 

You're absolutely correct in that analysis.

We're lucky the interlopers didn't uncover more.

Let's avoid relying on luck.

It's a creature as fickle as near any dragon.  

Continue plan at your own discretion. 

Not assuming their continued ignorance after that.

Your previously suggested proposal is being put into motion.

We're awakening the contingency. 

 

The Master

Sitting in a pub that pretended to have character’s most secluded booth. . .

. . . MHC’s dark mistress caressed a piece of rather ornate jewelry.

Dragon Amulet still appeared to shine brightly as held in dim lighting.

The Master was musing over the artifact she continued to caress.

It felt similar enough to dragons that she consorted with. . .

(assuming, of course, those dragons existed outside Sasha’s head)

. . . although it was instrument of different creatures.

Despite a different backer still a pleasant and familiar sort of power.

Sasha knew, intellectually, how dangerous it was to hold.

 

White Queen of the White Death, Tintagyl’s dark shadow, had this power.

Some believed it shaped her into something the world truly feared.

(Also becoming someone that Sasha truly admired

Not, however, somebody The Master would intentionally emulate)

White Queen was consumed by that power, so far as MHC determined, at height of her strength.

 

It was extremely dangerous keep in her possession.

It was more dangerous letting it leave her slight.

Reward this power to a subordinate and they would usurp her.

Discard this power and it would fall right into the hands of her enemies.

All made yet more complex in the damned thing was consistently whispering to her.

Sasha downed a pint and began pretending she couldn’t hear it. 

Maybe it would shut up a bit if she tried ignoring the calling?

Didn't stop an idle hand from caressing Dragon Amulet.

It whispered to her subtly in softly hissing, rasping.. almost sultry voices..

 

Wear us, Pet us,

hold us, need us.

 

We are power,

we are fire,

we are death.

You need our strength.

You need our breath.

 

Another day,

another hour,

Keep us close,

we'll bring you power.

 

Hole in time,

Hole in space,

Wormhole,

we'll help you win the race.

 

Tempation through us know you sore,

Haunting you forever more,

Keep us from your loving care.

Enemy takes you unaware.

To anyone observing MHC’s true mastermind would appear conversing with jewelry.

 

“Ubermind played with plenty of Dark Arts when I was in the Dark Hand.

None of them had managed to actually stop Justinian.

 

Dragon Cult had power of the dreamers backing them.

They still had fallen against outside pressures.

 

Tyrannia scraped to uncover the power of Tianxia’s ancestors.

Her spiritual powers weren’t enough to stop a swordsman from running her through.

 

Martens had a few powerful vampires who served him.

None of them had been capable of surviving concentrated nuclear fire.

 

Fenrir went around for a few years throwing power out like candy.

Wolf God’s cultists had still gotten themselves gunned down.

 

I question how usual the supernatural can be facing the conventional.

Despite conspiring alongside my dragon companions. . .

. . . you’ll find my little conspiracy relies *mostly* on mundane resources.

We’re dabbling, of course, but never actually relying on that completely.

 

I can go yet a step farther.

White Queen declared war on all nations using exact amulet I’m holding.

She didn’t succeed in bringing down the counties of the world.
Not half as close when compared with my own role in War of Apocalypse.

I succeeded where your intended bearer had completely failed.

What makes you that I need you even slightly?”

 

Despite her claims of disinterest Sasha continued to caress the Dragon Amulet.

As time passed Emperor Jesse wondered what Henry and the MHC were planning next. There have not been any attacks for a while and he wondered why. Was Henry finally giving up or did he have something big planned for the future? Only time will tell.

Continued from here

 

Jesse and Mei agreed. If Adria had powers like Maelstrom did than she needed to learn how to control them herself. They would let Adria hang out with Maelstrom more so that he could teach her how to control her powers. Meanwhile at his base in an unknown location to them Henry continued with the next phase of his plan creating an army of dragons out of the human volunteers from the MHC that wanted to join him. He was building up an army so that he and Stasha could strike at their enemies when the time was right. "It doesn't take the the world's strongest nations to create the next global conflict. All it takes is the will of a single man."

"And that would be your will would it?" spoke a soft seductive female voice as Lady Upyr stepped out from the shadows behind Henry a slasher smile on her pale face she walked over to Henry with carefully placed steps. For this visit she wore a simple black uniform without any identifying marks however, thus betraying no country of origin. "So you are the man behind the MHC and all the troubles that we have so recently had in Asia. How utterly fascinating. Tell me what do you plan next?" she asked stopping before Henry and crossing her arms as she waited for his answer.

Henry smiled. "The next part of the plan is simple. I am creating an army at the moment which will then be used to destroy Shanghai, Druk Yul, and anyone else who dares to stand against us. You did very well manipulating the Russian Emperor and although his armies did not do nearly as much damage to SEATO as hoped it has weakened them enough to where this new army will finally be able to deal the killing blows to them. It is only a matter of time until we are ready to strike and when we do no one will be able to stop us."

"Soon a very special dragon will be joining our cause which will tip the balance of power towards us so much we will be unstoppable. However in order for this plan to work she needs to join us willingly otherwise the plan will backfire and only lead to our destruction. Right now she is being hidden away from the world in the Druk Yul city if Shangri-La by the SEATO leaders but eventually she will believe that they only want to keep her power for themselves. Certain things have been put in place so that when the time is right she will eventually come to us herself and when she does she will join us and we will use her powers to take out SEATO once and for all." Henry looked at Upyr. "All I need you to do is keep an eye on the SEATO leaders and report to me on what they plan on doing in order to stop us. I will not be able to give you much support on this but after seeing what you are capable of I am sure you will be able to do all of this without any trouble at all. When the time is right you will then help lead our forces in our attacks on Shanghai and Druk Yul. Once they are out of the way no one will be able to stop us and we will be able to take over the world!"

As Adria continued to learn how to control her powers she still continued to seem angry at everyone. They were still keeping her closely guarded at all times and she was still not allowed to leave Shangri-La at all. Eventually she got sick of it and wanted them to know how she felt. "You can't just keep me here forever. If I am really important as you say than I need to experience the world for myself so that I can better learn about the good and evil within it. Henry wants to use me to control the world but if we are going to defeat him I need to know what else he has planned for me."

 

"It is simple." Jesse said. "As soon as you are no longer useful to him he will find a way to kill you. The same happened to the Russian Emperor and just about everyone else he has manipulated over the years."

 

"Still if I am going to protect the world I need to learn more about the world I am protecting and I can't do that from here."

 

"Sure you can. It is called the INTERNET."

 

"You know what. This whole time it seems like you all want to just control my powers for your own personal interests. You claim you are good and he is evil but the truth is you are no different than Henry at all!" She then flew off.

 

Mei would call for her but Jesse knew what needed to be done. "Let her go. She needs time to figure out things for herself. Meanwhile we need to get ready for whatever Henry might have planned for us next." Jesse looked over at Lee. "Keep an eye on her. If she goes out of Druk Yul there is a chance Henry might get her and if he does she might be able to lead us right to him."

 

"Dang Jesse this is pretty low even for you. Are you really going to use her as bait to find out where Henry is so we can take him out?"

 

"As one of the world leaders I need to think of needs of the many over the needs of a few. Henry will attack Shanghai and we need to stop him no matter the cost. The truth is none of us may make it out alive but if so we need to make sure Henry doesn't either."

 

Adria would fly out of Druk Yul and into the Northern Mountains of Shanghai territory where Henry's secret base was. Henry knew of Maelstrom's powers and also knew how to get things done without him knowing, or perhaps Adria's powers were growing and she found out herself since it was out of Maelstrom's field of influence. Either way she was welcomed into the base and eventually met by Henry. "Welcome Adria. We have been expecting you."

 

"Your follower said I was the Chosen One who would bring our race back to its former glory. How can I do that?"

 

"Follow me into my office and I will tell you."

 

Meanwhile Lee would also approach the perimiter of the base but he was not able to reach Jesse or any others to tell them it's location. He thought about heading back to tell Jesse but he had to know what Henry was planning for Adria. "Oh I am going to regret this." He thought to himself as he approached the Electric Fence. He tried to quickly fly over it but he hit an electrical current and screamed in pain as he fell over onto the other side of the fence where a lot of armed dragon guards had their weapons pointed at him. He knew he wouldn't be able to fight them all and live so he surrenderd. "Tell Henry I am here to see him."

 

OOC: The Final Battle against Henry that will help decide the fate of Shanghai is about to begin. Here is some epic music to go with a little teaser of what is planned next:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFX7h96GsE8

 

The Final Battle for Asia is about to begin

 

"Henry will come at us with everything he has."

 

The fates of Druk Yul and Shanghai are at stake.

 

"Shanghai and Shangri-La are more than likely going to be his main targets. We must hold them at all costs."

 

Will they be able to stop Henry in time?

 

"One way or another it ends here."

 

Or will Henry and his dragons take over Shanghai and Druk Yul?

 

"Time to show the world what you are capable of Adria. Show the world how powerful you really are!"

Henry knew the time had finally come. It was time for his armies to strike against his enemies. As his huge dragon army approached Beijing another secretly made it's way towards Shangri-La. He knew that the Druk Yul forces would eventually defeat them when they attacked their main city but they were mearly a distraction to keep the Druk Yul forces busy while his other much larger army invaded Shanghai. As they approached Beijing it became clear that the Shanghai leaders knew they were coming and when they finally approached Beijing he saw that the city was abandoned.

 

Adria grinned when she saw this and knew Henry was getting a little angry. "It looks like they knew we were coming."

 

"No matter." Henry said. "It is time to show the world what you are capable of Adria. Time to show the world how powerful you really are."

 

From their vantage point on a ridge overlooking the city Adria stretched out her hand and after a brief moment of concentration a shockwave started at the palm of her hand and tore into the city before her as if a small nuke went off. Many of the buildings that were not well built crumbled under the pressure of that shockwave and within a few minutes much of the city was in ruins.

 

Meanwhile back in Shanghai Emperor Jesse was with Lee, Mei, Sterling, and the rest of Delta Squad in the war room bunker below the palace planning for the battle that was to come. Lee gave Jesse reports of what has been going on so far. "We have already gotten reports that a large force of Henry's dragons are approaching Shangri-La as we speak and will be there within a few hours. Meanwhile another much larger force just destroyed Beijing and is approaching Shanghai from the North. They will be here at the same time the other army reaches Shangri-La, Henry seemed to have planned for having both battles happening at the same time."

 

Jesse knew Henry. During his time as the leader of Delta Squad he met Henry many times and knew a lot about him. "The reason for that is because the other attack is merely a distraction to keep the Druk Yul forces busy so they do not interfere with his main attack on Shanghai. Henry has been planning this for years and right now he has us exactly where he wants us but that also makes him vulnerable."

 

"How?" Jordan asked. "He has hundreds of thousands of dragons with him! How on earth are we supposed to defeat them by ourselves?!"

 

"Its simple Jordan. I am going to challenge him to an Alpha Duel."

 

"You are going to have to tell me what that is." Jordan said.

 

Jesse continued.  "Dragons are similar to wolves in a way. The Alpha Dragon is the most powerful dragon there is and as the Alpha Henry has certain "persuasive powers" over other dragons who are not really that strong willed. Many are able to resist those powers but most are not strong enough to resist the Alpha Dragon and end up joining him no matter what."

 

"How did he become the Alpha Dragon in the first place?"

 

"By defeating my father in an Alpha Duel many centuries ago." Mei said. "I once challenged Henry in an Alpha Duel as well many years ago as well but lost. Henry could have killed me after I admitted defeat but he chose to let me live knowing that he killed my father to become the Alpha and knew I wouldn't be strong enough to stop him myself."

 

"So now Jesse is going to try to defeat him himself. You really sure you are strong enough to defeat him one on one?" Jordan asked as he looked back at Jesse.

 

"If I dont defeat him here than he will become strong enough to finally take over the world once we are out of the way. That is why I have to do this Jordan. Because one way or another it ends here!"

It did not take long for both of Henry's armies to reach their destinations. He knew that the army sent to attack Shangri-La would probably end up being pushed back soon but their only job was to keep them distracted long enough for him to finish his battle in Shanghai. Henry's army attacked Shanghai with force and although it seemed like they would be held off at first they eventually broke through the outer defenses and were causing chaos on the streets of Shanghai itself. Henry eventually got to the plaza in the city center where he and his forces began to execute anyone who resisted.

 

Meanwhile in front of the palace a huge battle was taking place where Jesse and Delta Squad were holding off Henry's forces. However Mei was captured early on and was taken to Henry at the plaza.  "Well look what we have here. The so called Queen of the Dragons on her knees."

 

Mei looked up and saw Adria standing with Henry. "Adria! It's not too late to stop this slaughter. You might think that this will bring our race back to its former glory but instead it will only kill us all once the other nations of the world find out what is going on here!"

 

"You kept her locked away instead of showing her what she is capable of! The humans need to know that we will not back down no matter how much they threaten us with destruction because in the end it will only lead to their own destruction. Our race was meant to rule the world and the humans fear for us only proves that they know it. If they didn't fear us than they wouldn't threaten to destroy us. The humans will eventually try to kill us again but in the end they will only end up destroying themselves and from the ashes we will rise up and reclaim what is rightfully ours! If you will not see the truth than you have no reason to remain alive. I should have killed you long ago when you tried to challenge me as the Alpha but now your own daughter will be the one to kill you. Adria, destroy her!"

 

Adria tried to resist what he told her to do but her mind was not as strong as the others. However right before she was able to do it Jesse showed up. "There is only one way to end this Henry. I challenge you to a battle for the position of Alpha Dragon."

 

"You seriously want to challenge me Jesse? Your mother challenged me in the past and failed. What makes you think you will do any better?!"

 

"Because I am stronger and have more to fight for. The humans are not our enemies but it is very clear that you are. It is time to end this right here right now!"

 

"Very well." Henry would then quickly change into his dragon form and attack Jesse who was in his dragon form as well. It was time for the fight to decide the fate of China.

Maelstrom would become aware of an Army of nationless mercenaries attacking him. The counter attack would be brutal and merciless. The 1st Fleet would respond with extended range shelling and the miltary mobilized a full on counter. The terrorists would not survive.

 

"If they want my attention, they need to do better." He would rumble slowly in the valut. He rarely left his hoard now, information was brought to him in the form of displays and communications system built into this lair.

 

"What are you up to Henry? You are not here.. but this force would not be here unless you were planning something sizable."

 

Maelstrom would attempt to place a call through to Mei's phone, talons tapping impatiently on the floor.

Regardless of how much damage the attacking army seemed to do in Druk Yul their main goal was to keep the Druk Yul forces occupied while Henry's main forces attacked Shanghai. Eventually news of the attack would be broadcast to Druk Yul and the rest of the world and then Maelstrom would find out what Henry's plan really was.

 

Meanwhile Jesse and Henry continued their one on one fight as their armies fought around them. Adria was out of Henry's control for the moment but she knew that in order to stay that way Jesse needed to win this fight himself. They all knew how pwerful Henry was but none of them could have known how much they had underestimated him. Henry continued to land blow after crushing blow to Jesse and after a while it looked like he wouldn't be able to take anymore. Henry eventually knocked him into the ground and as Jesse layed there Henry continued to mock him. "It is over Jesse. You have lost and once I am through with you and your family no one will be able to stop us from taking over the world. You really think the humans are your friends? If the rest of the world knew the truth about you they would hunt you down just like they did in the past. Sure the people of Shanghai accept your true forms but once the other nations find out the truth it will be all out war."

 

Jesse didn't think he could go on anymore but he knew he had to try. "You are wrong Henry. Our race can live in peace with the humans, but it is ones like you who prevent that from happening."

 

Henry was about to finish him off by stomping his head into the ground but Jesse moved at the last second and Henry's foot slammed into the ground hard momentarilly stunning him which gave Jesse enough time to get back up and lay some big hits on Henry. "It is because of people like you that we have wars in the first place!" Jesse said as he continued to hit Henry hard multiple times. "It is because of people like you that I have to worry every night about what threats I need to protect my people from!" Jesse then knocked him into the central monument in the center of the plaza and then knocked him hard into the ground. "And it is because of you that our race is now hunted by the humans but luckily I may soon find a way for us all to have peace. You started this war Henry, and now I am going to finish it!"

 

"You have defeated me so now it is time for you to finish it! Kill me here right now and claim your place as the Alpha Dragon!"

 

"No I not going to kill you. You have already admitted defeat and that is enough for me to become the Alpha Dragon. But I know someone who would want to kill you a whole lot more than I would."

The clouds roiled black, lightning flashed, and the wind howled. Wind came so heavy that it was hard for Jesse to stand and it nearly blew Henry clean away. It was not from the storm though... down through the cloud came claw... then foot after foot of leg... and haunch. Finally towering 300 feet above them both. a very different Maelstrom emerged than what Jesse remembered.
 
His eyes glowed a radioactive green. It was only when his massive wings folded against his side that the winds subsided. Maelstrom took his fist and slammed it to the ground next to Henry. As his fist impacted the ground all electrical equipment in the vicinity that was not shielded would shut down from an E1 electromagnetic pulse, leaving Maelstrom's serpentine glowing green eyes one of the few visible items in the area. "I have a promise to keep I believe. As soon as I learned of your ploy.. I began my journey here." A voice like many thunders echoed over the landscape. "You might notice I've grown a bit.. I also have supplemented my diet."
 
He grinned down at the smaller drake, "You are not of my dream. This will be a first time I've had to determine what to do with those I could not forget. But.. I think I know an appropriate fate." He lunged down.,and snapped up Henry like a shark eating a guppy and began to chew. Henry screamed as Maelstrom chewed and savored the sound of his death cries and the grinding of his bones. Whether or not his appearance in Shang Hai caught international headlines he cared not. The world may deny him as they will, but he would not deny himself. The Dreamer changed his dream for no one.
 
Maelstrom looked to Jesse, "I saved my breath, for my new diet may make it toxic to this region. Though using it on a traitor such as this was sore tempting." He was half-purring, half-growling in victory as he spoke. The lights of Shang Hai probably would take between 5-10 minutes to turn themselves back on.

Once the effects of the EMP had ended it wasn't long before what was left of Henry's army surrendered and declared their loyalty to Jesse who was now the Alpha Dragon. Jesse turned back into his human form and went back to the palace as the Shanghai Military began to clean up the mess in the city and help everything get back to normal.

 

As Jesse thought about the events that had taken place he knew it was not yet over. Henry was dead and his army had been defeated but he knew the real leader of the MHC was still out there. They had won the Battle of Shanghai but the war for Asia was not over yet. He knew the MHC would show themselves again and when they did he would be ready.

Lady Upyr stood upon the roof of one of Shanghai's many tower blocks, a small collection of her personal vampire bodyguards surrounding her back and keeping away anyone who dared to get close. She had watched as Henry and Jesse dueled before Henry was defeated and Maelstrom had appeared and eaten Henry, the smell of blood floated across to her on the wind and breath flared in her throat as she savored it. 

 

She smiled as the last cries of Henry died out and Maelstrom spoke to Jesse, the evil dragon had perhaps thought she and her kind were going to support him but that had never been her plan at all. He had thought himself strong, mighty and in charge but in the end he was nothing but a simple pawn, one now expended after it was of no more use. Seeing Maelstrom in his newer form had been an added bonus and was something she would need to calculate in her future plans.

 

For now she was done and she turned raising one arm and casting a cloak of dark shadow across herself and her guards dragging her and them into a darker realm and back to their home where even more of her kind waited.

Maelstrom left the field of battle, returning to Shangri La not long later, his business here concluded. He was to large now to stay in the open for long when outside of his own realm. But dealing with the traitor to his faith was personal. He took to the sky and many many hours later approached Everest. The blast doors on the exterior open and he flew back into his lair.
