The Monarchist Return (Open - MT)

The night air was crisp, the chill penetrating through every nook and cranny to fill the locals with it’s icy grasp. This was even true in the various subway tunnels which ferried various passengers. In one of these tunnels, however, was something quite unordinary. Any natural-born Ursavian knew that there were still a few disgruntled terrorist groups: i.e the Monarchists, who had a grudge against the government and that’s what anybody could tell this item was. A large mass of explosives with an attached clock was slowly ticking down in dark silence. It had a wire attached to the minute hand so the moment the clock struck 8:35 P.M the bomb’s wire’s would seem to come together which would result in detonation...and the clock was a mere one minute away, the same as a soon-to-be passing subway train loaded with the last of the late-night passengers for that station. The man at the controls was tired and waiting to get home, but he never would because as he reached a straight section of tunnel the bomb detonated. The tunnel was filled with fire and he was killed instantly. Meanwhile, up-top the street completely caved in and sent three large trucks crashing downward. Everybody within the train was killed and only one of the truck drivers was still alive: the others killed by the impact force and said driver in bad shape. Given the racket however it did not take long for emergency services to be called and within minutes the air was filled with the deafening blare of sirens. Traffic was brought to a stand-still as emergency services filled the area. In the morning the clean-up would begin.

”Hello there President Szepesi...” The balaclava-wearing, camouflage clad man spat the title of ‘president’ with disgust ”...you may not know us that well, but we are the Monarchists. We’ve watched your disgusting government trash this government’s reputation for years now and we’ve grown sick of it. Those deaths were brutal but necessary to teach you a lesson. We demand that all members of the Monarchists still held in prison be released and that you resign, leaving the government to us. If you do not meet our demands in fourty-eight hours than we will have no choice but to continue with our bombings and overthrow your government with pure force.” The masked man said.

Vincze could only swear in anger before picking up a phone on his desk.

Breaking News

Last night, at approximately eight thirty five, a large detonation rocked the streets in the capitol of Saáry which caused everybody aboard a subway train and two truck drivers to be killed. A third driver is currently in critical condition, having been given a Life Flight helicopter lift out of the area. So far eighteen bodies have been recovered and identified with two more still awaiting identification. The people who have done this also sent a video to President Szepesi containing unknown information. The fact that somebody was willing to do such a thing as this however, is disgusting. Through all this, though government officials have not allowed viewing of the video they have provided the same of the group responsible: the Monarchists. The Monarchists are a former group of revolutionists that were believed to have gone dormant several years ago. Currently police forces are being mobilized for emergency action and several police and military units are being assembled within the capitol in order to secure major venues such as subways, banks, and political establishments.
