Dreadfire had been flown back to ULE City due to recent tensions with Russian Forces over eastern Europe. Greece was AMF territory, and Mr. Putin's aggression was of prime concern. Zander (Damien's right hand man) arrived in Omz222 to oversee the gradual withdrawl and redeployment of AMF forces to protect Greece from the Red Army's warmongering hunger. Stepping out of his modified SR-71A2, Damien made his way towards the Great Hall. Walking slowly up the marble steps, he noticed a dark figure in the doorway. It was Rayne, and she claimed that she had urgent news for Damien. Intrigued, Damien took Rayne into his office where he sat.

So, what is this news you have for me? I was already briefed a few hours ago! Damien spoke with an almost annoyed tone in his voice. Rayne sat in front of Damien's desk and crossed her legs. She then spoke in a matter of fact tone. Well Damien, in case you haven't noticed, things back home have been drastically different since you decided to go off and play soldier. Well, that did it...Damien was pissed now. Well Rayen, I'm not like most leaders who make war, then hide in their quarters, safe from the hell of combat. I lead from the front wench, not from the rear. A leader should actually lead, and not just bark orders. I'm sorry if I have more honor than that.

Rayne held back a chuckle and stood, walking to the window. The sun began dying, leaving it's colors strewn across the sky. Damien, Damien....you know so little. She drew her sidearm, and standing about 15 feet away, she pointed it at Damien's face. While you were gone..well...let's just say that we are under new management now. With the fire inside him growing, Damien took a step forward. Rayne cocked the hammer on her pistol as Damein spoke. So Rayne, you're going to use a coward's weapon on me? Let me just say this, wench: you better hope that bullet kills me on the spot, or else I will rip you limb from limb.

With that, Rayne spoke one final time. Oh, I think it will. Goodbye Mr. Dreadfire. The next gunshots you will be hearing is a 21 gun salute. Damien scowled and took another step forward. Rayen pulled the trigger, sending a silenced bullet inbetween the eyes of Damien. The bullet struck his skull, sending a cloud of blood into the air. Rayne then fled the room, leaving Damien laying on the ground in a puddle of blood.

Damien then sat up, removing his facemask.

Blood poured from his wound, running down his face and dripping onto the floor. Damien stood, his vision impaired fromt he impact. Dazed, he stumbled out of his chambers and through the corridors of the Great Hall. The staff was off for the night, so there was nobody to help the warlord. Throwing open the main doors and with a shattered skull, Damien began stumbling to the hospital which was 10 miles away.

http://invisionfree.com:54/40/9/upload/p3443.jpg

After about 2 miles, Damien collapsed from the blood loss. Clawing himself forward, Damien kept going, his rage his only saving grace. a police officer noticed the bloodied and dying Damien and helped him into the squad car.

AMF News Update

We have confirmed news that there was an assassination attempt on our leader Damien an hour or so ago. Damien was spotted trying to walk himself to the hospital and was spotted by a police man doing a routine traffic stop. Damien was struck with a pistol round inbetween his eyes, and he is still in the OR in extremely critical condition. Police are scouring ULE City looking for the assassin. Rayne Xolantra gave this statement:

I can assure you all that we are taking all appropriate measures to apprehend this assassin. We ar not sure at this time if Damien is going to survive his wound, and I ask all Freeks to pray for his safety.

Little 'ol nine grams of the old lead in the forehead never did Lobo any harm. Heh, not like I keep anything important in there anyway... and I thought that Dreadfire was at least half the hardskull I am...

I myslef am quite sorry to hear of this. I despise Damien with a passion, yet have a respect for the man. I was hoping to meet him on a feild of battle sometime, but oh well. It's a win-win situation.

Damien kept fading in and out. When his eyes were closed Damien had visions of the next realm, and of his death. He hovered above his limp body as the doctors frantically worked on him. He could see himself, bt there was nothing he could do. He came to again.

Restrain him! He's convulsing!
Damien spat up blood and began twitching. He was fighting for his life at this point. The bullet had shatted his skull and embedded itself in his brain, and due to the impact he had some facial damage. He faded out again, and he was back to watching himself. He heard a loud beeping and the doctors suddenly panicked. They brought up the paddles and began hitting Damien with voltage trying to restart his now stopped heart. Adrenaline was injected into his heart, and Damien came to yet again. He sat up with a howl as the doctors tried to keep him down. They ahd to restain him with leather straps to keep him fron injuring himself or the other doctors.

Things were getting desperate.

"Crying shame." Alexander said, while eating some steak. "Send him a basket of flowers, and find out if there is anything we can do."

Perhaps this is the first step in a revertion to the way things used to be in AMF's government. Our governments once had friendly contact, and we are hopeful that he survives. We are also hopeful that the bullet changed enough of his brain that he modifies his ruling style to a decidedly more liberal democratic one.

I personally hope that the bullet knocked some sense into Damien and makes him think about all the aid Celack has given him and that GDODAD is the cowards alliance.

The Government of Iaceo would like to send it’s regards, and hopes for a speedy recovery. If there is anything that Iaceo can do, consider it done. We hope that those responsible will be found and punished.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen," said Sophia Kahler as she finished her report on the events in Automagfreek. "It appears very likely that Damien Dreadfire is about to die."

No one said anything. What could they say? But the relief in the room was palpable.

Andrew Kane broke the silence, his voice containing none of the relief the others felt. "I don't like it. I don't like it at all."

"Andrew, what are you talking about?" Matthew Griffith, Treasurer-Secretary of Commerce, was incredulous. "I never like to see an assassination either, but if anyone in the world deserved it, it was this guy. He's evil, through and through. You can tell it by looking at him, you can hear it in the sound of his voice. And now, most likely, he's gone. It's a shame it happened this way, but it's not a shame that it happened. What are you so worried about?"

Kane raised his head slowly, looking straight at Griffith. "Something worse, Matt. Something much worse."

We regret to hear this from a close ally. Damien is invaluable, no doubt, to AMF, and to the GDODAD. We all hope he pulls through this.

OOC: No clue. Hopefully it'll be soon.

"About time," the Omzian Foreign Affairs Treasurer-Minister said in the daily meeting in Osaria, this time discussing about Automagfreek. "Haven't you people heard? Dreadfire's dying. Some assassination."

Following the event, no one said a word in the meeting. Surely, Dreadfire is hated in Omzian nation after the war, disrespected before the war, but this is very suspecious -- and shocking. How did the Automagfreek dictator get shot? They haven't expected an event like this. The people from the foreign affairs ministry in the meeting just looked at each other, glancing. Thinking.

The silence broke. George Luke, the English-Omzian, finally spoke in a relaxed tune. "Well, I say this is good riddance. Dreadfire dying is important to us, you know. But definately, something fishy's going on here. Surely, they couldn't just retract the force."

"Internal conflict perhaps? Or someone sent assassins? Or just... random killing?"

Another silence.

"Damien Dreadfire -- victim of planned assassination. Not a benefit, more like something's going on. Something..."

The eyes glanced over at each other again, in the room.

While Damien was not someone that I personally liked or looked up to, he doesn't deserve this kind of fate. Watertest hopes that Damien recovers from his wounds, and the impact from the bullet knocks some sense into him.

Ryan Jordan

I am quite amazed at the insensitivity among world leaders. 'Knock sense into him'? The man is probably dying! No matter what he has done he is a human being! And I don't care if you are elf, orc or prophet of God...

You do NOT make an official announcement talking about a possibly dying, possibly dead man like that! If you do put things like that out... you should seriously reconsider your staffing for the foreign relations department. I cannot believe this reaction... but, then again none of you even sent a message when I got an 11 inch hole blown through my chest. Well... the man standing in for me did, at least.

We wish Damien Dreadfire to recover quickly and without hardship. We will assist the AMF government in any way they wish, should they request it.

59 minutes later he was on a respirator. The bullet had been removed, but the damage had been done. Damien had flatlined 3 times in an hour and a half since he was shot, and the once proud 7 foot warlord lay motionless. The only sounds that filled the room were the beeping of the heart monitor and the wheezing of the respirator.

Damien slowly began to slip again, and this time it was longer than any of the other times. Suddenly, everything was white.....and Damien stepped forward and found himself in a green pasture. A lone figure stood in the vast field, and he spoke to Damien. Hello Damien. Slightly panicked, Damien shouted: Am I dead?!? The figure walked towards him, and in a calm and assuring voice, he spoke. No Damien, you are not dead yet. People who have experienced this before call it a "near death" experience. It is where the soul temporarily leaves the body and is free to wander throught time and space. This my friend, is the spirit realm. While your body still lives, your soul has found this place. Now come, we have something to discuss. They began walking across the green grass, the sun shining bright in the noon sky.

Damien, since your creation you were special. The Gods hand picked you Damien, to rise above your ancestors. You have taken yourself and your people to new heights, although the path you chose was covered in blood. These past few years, great change came to your nation through your rule....some good, and some bad. What you need to ask yourself is this: what business on Earth has not been finished? Damien thought long and hard. The man spoke again. No need to answer now though, you have all the time in the world for that. In case you are wondering why this is happening to you, I will tell you. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end, Damien. Your rise to power was the end of Kaye's beginning. Now, Rayne's rise to power is the end of your beginning.

Damien then spoke, trying to make sense of what is happening. But, I can't die yet...I still have unfinished business. The man stopped, and placed both hands on Damien's shoulders. Revenge is hardly unfinished business. If you want to live simply to persecute the one that has taken your rule, then I'm sorry....you can't go back. Revenge is not acceptable. Think of it Damien, what else is left to accomplish? Damien could not think straight, too much information was being bombarded at him. Why are you telling me this? You're saying that I have a choice, but at the same time I don't! The man nodded his head, then replied grimly. I'm trying to save your soul, Damien. In case you haven't noticed, your deeds are hardly the kind of deeds that get a man into Heaven. You are an evil man Damien...but there is hope for you. The Shadow Realm seeks to devour your soul and keep it there for all eternity, and I am trying to lead you to the light. Or, shall you be doomed to wander inbetween the Light and the Dark, a pained and tormented entity for all eternity?

Damein paused, trying to make up his mind. I can't leave yet...I'm not ready. This cannot be my destiny, to die on my back in some hospital! Dying like a weakling after being shot by a traitorous bitch! Oh no, that is not my fate, that cannot be my fate!

Damien suddenly came to again, the heart monitor going crazy. Doctors rushed in shouting and moving about.

OOC: Getting interesting :P

OOC: Now I just need Pantera to respond!

A message to rayne. Go to war with us and you'll be tortured and have your wounds washed with Vodka. You may be the leader now but hopefully Damien will recover to retake his rightful place. Russia again claims no responsibility to the assassination of Damien. If you want to take out your pain on us then you have to get your hands dirty.

Rayne snickered slightly.

Your demeanor is not that of an innocent man, Mr. Putin, and obviously Russia is behind this. You claim that if we were to go to war with you that we'd have to get our hands dirty? HA! A campaign against you would be all too easy. Do not tempt me Mr. Putin, the notion of having Russia under my control is enticing.

We are truly sorry for the unsensitive and moronic commens made. We hope that Damien recovers fast and that his assasian is caught.

Bastien clicks his teeth together in agitation, a scowl painting his handsome features. The WarHound continues his report, covering the slim information this Rayne wench has released.

With Dreadfire on the rack, Pantera would be in an uproar for Bastien to make certain this woman did not take power, but the way things are looking she had already siezed authority. The thought of it is galling. A spectacular rise to power, and now this? Too strange to be coincidence, but all the same.... Dreadfire should have covered his ass and had her killed immediately when her own power began to rival his own.

But, the past was past and what is left is for Bastien to discover the truth.

"What word shall I send, M'lord?" asks Caval the Warhound, Bastien's most trusted companion and advisor. The grizzled old Reaver is uncomfortable, it is plain to see.

Bastien however only sighs,"Nothing. I donna like this whore at the head of a million screaming Sentinals, but I canna yet be sure this is her work. Inquire about Dreadfire's health, but Pantera will not comment publicly or privately. Let her wonder what we're about."

I would remind you that an attack on Russian Forces by the Spokesperson of the GDODAD would not be looked upon favorably by the rest of the world, but I doubt I need to, since I'm quite sure you are fully aware of that fact, Miss Rayne. If you do decide on such a course of action, I will pention the GDODAD to strongly discourage such a course of action and not support your war.
