~ Los Angeles, undisclosed location ~


    Sunday, December 8


    It''s early evening at the outskirts of Los Angeles.


    A helicopter silentlynded on the helipad which is located on arge lot. Lot has several buildings which are designed to serve as living quarters for the people who work for the newly established underground organization <em>''Chaos''</em>.


    About thirty men in matching ck outfits are lined up, waiting for people to alight from the helicopter.


    Ten people came out, each in the same ck outfit, and their faces are covered in masks. They assumed their positions, five on each side from the door. Eleventh person came out, a slender female figure in a ck outfit, her face is covered with a ck mask which shimmers slightly, and her hair is pulled into a ponytail.


    Thirty people know that female as their Boss (aka Nyx) who recruited them in the fight clubs owned by White family. They don''t know her real name or her face. Well, one of them knows that is Sarah, but we will get to him in a bit.


    Ten people by her side are known as generals of the army of Chaos.


    The secrecy is important. Because if any of the army members gets caught, it will be devastating if they reveal that the person behind organization called Chaos is Sarah Hill.


    She is confident that her generals will not betray her, no matter what, but her army members… she knows that they are loyal to her, but they still need to earn her absolute trust.


    Sarah looked at her army and gave a small nod. They all arrived inst few days and settled at this location. They have sleeping quarters, kitchen and dining areas,mon areas for entertainment, indoor gym and outdoor training grounds. Her generals take turns daily toe and provide instructions, and to make sure the army members train in order to increase their fighting power.


    Now that everyone is gathered, and they have a detailed n in ce, they will begin. Tonight.


    Sarah stood in front of her army members and started exining: "You will be grouped in twos and threes and attack different locations. Each group will have one general leading them. You must obey the orders, otherwise you are endangering yourself and others. On the way to your destination, you will be briefed if your mission is to seize or to destroy the location. Generals will decide if any resources found are useful for us or not. If they are useful, you will bring them here, if not, destroy. You will encounter resistance. If they flee, let them go. If they resist, break their limbs. If they attack… kill. Any questions?"


    One man raised a hand. "Only three or four of us per location? Isn''t that too bold?"


    Sarah made a gesture with her hand in the air, choosing an option in her Eve-vision and dozen drones materialized, hovering above her. To anyone watching from the side, it looked like a sci-fi magic.


    Sarah knows that is not magic. It''s science. Felix perfected the reflective surface, so drones are so well camouged that they are almost impossible to spot with a naked eye. Thatbined with them being silent, makes her drones perfect assassins (and spies).


    She observed the silent shock which is shown on the faces of her army members before providing more information: "Each of these can incapacitate fifty people within seconds and every team will have ten drones apanying them. You might not see them, but they are there."


    She made a gesture with her hand, and the drones disappeared again. People gasped. It must be some sorcery.


    Sarah''s ten generals: Jesse, Haru, Ron, N, Oni, Z, Masika, Imani, Jamari and Ade took two or three men each (how they previously discussed) and headed in ck vans toward their destinations.


    "My Mistress…", Noah approached Sarah.


    "Call me Boss, or Nyx.", she told him. "And yes, you areing with me."


    Noah was happy that his Mistress didn''t forget about him.


    Three more people joined them, and they headed to the helicopter. Sarah is hitting thergest target for tonight.


    Sarah previously decided on eleven targets for the first evening and discussed the n with her generals. Their first round of attacks is focused on facilities owned by branch families that are under Voronins and Lebedevs. Goal is to get them out of Los Angeles area, then out of California, and then out of United States. Army of Chaos will cut off theirwork in the United States before they expand and suppress those two families further... until there is nothing left.


    Sarah knows that their method is that they hire locals for dirty work. Those people are in there only for the money. They will flee at the sign of trouble, and those are the ones Sarah will spare. There will be few within the hired people who want to prove themselves by defending their position… they will suffer. But the people who actually belong to Lebedev and Voronin organizations (and their branch families) will attack, they were raised that way. For them, there will be no mercy.


    Sarah sends her generals into battle with a confidence that they have the element of surprise, and technology on their side. Also, there are no elite fighters in the area. It seems that they are in Eastern Europe, and King is on the East Coast. Two elites from Voronin family are in South America.


    …


    The attacks were coordinated and swift.


    Targets didn''t get a grip of what is going on, and they had no chance to call for help (Eve cut off theirmunication).


    Sarahnded the helicopter silently by therge field of cannabis.


    With Eve-vision, Sarah can see that twenty-three people are guarding it, and they were easily overpowered by Sarah''s men.


    They were rxed, obviously not expecting an attack. Who is bold (and foolish) enough to attack them? They are operating here for years and no one dared to approach them.


    When Eve confirmed that there are no more active targets, Sarah went to one shabby looking building and found a trapdoor on the floor. It led to an underground tunnel which connects to an expansive storage.


    Large metallic boxes are neatly stacked one on top of another, and there are some wooden crates next to the wall on the right.


    Metallic boxes are full of cash. Millions.


    Wooden crates have handguns and explosives. Not bad.


    "Load all this into the helicopter.", Sarah ordered.


    Five men got busy without questioning her. They are strong and swift, so it didn''t take long to move all those boxes and crates.


    "Boss, what are we going to do with all of this?", Noah gestured toward the cannabis when they all returned to the helicopter.


    "Burn it.", Sarahmanded.


    Noah understood and distributed masks to everyone present before they spread out and doused the field with the fire elerant.


    n is simple. Chase them away. If something is useful, take it. If it''s not, destroy it.


    …


    It was close to midnight when thest unit returned.


    The missions were aplete sess. No one from the army of Chaos was hurt, and they got quite a haul: money, weapons, explosives, gold and precious gems.


    They found substantial amount of drugs in several locations, but that was on the list to destroy. Sarah has no need for that.


    They also confiscated several dozen hard drives which were stored offline. Considering that they were in the hands of branch families, there is a low chance that anything useful is on them, but who knows? Maybe they can find something they could use.


    Jesse made three trips with the fully loaded helicopter to transfer all that into the storage on the property where Cliffside vi is.


    Out of eleven targets, eight were destroyed, and they kept three. One warehouse, one apartment building, and one is a building for an office space. Those locations will be guarded by drones, and one member of the army of Chaos will always be present on each location (in regr clothes). They will also hire number of local thugs.


    For the apartment building and the office space, Sarah wants to do a remodel and put them up for rent. About 10-20% will be kept for them to use, but the rest will provide them with a good ie. She is always interested in increasing her passive ie. And it costs money to raise an army.


    Sarah is more than pleased with Noah''s performance. She wants everyone who knows her identity to stay at the Cliffside vi, but Noah is… different. His masochistic tendencies are giving her goosebumps and at the same time, she believes that he will not tell the other army members who she is.


    She <em>''promoted''</em> Noah to the highest rank amongst army members. He is the sergeant, in charge of other army members. Noah likes that. His Mistress trusts him.


    On the way back, Sarah sat in the helicopter and excited chatter from Ade and others blended into background noise while she thought about her new organization: Chaos.


    Aiden listed several names as good options in his ns, and she picked this one because in Greek mythology, Nyx and Erebus are both born out of Chaos. She is confident that he will approve her choice, once he wakes up.


    Sarah is pleased that tonight went without a hitch. They have ns for tomorrow as well. If they don''t encounter any dys, in ten days, Lebedevs and Voronins will not have a presence in the Los Angeles county.


    Of course, it''s inevitable that the news will reach them, and they will find out that the army of Chaos is attacking them. They will probably retaliate as well… but that is part for the phase two of her n. Until that happens, she needs to expand their territory as much as possible because that means that Eve''s area of influence is increasing as well.
