Master Monim replies "Two of your teammates are recovering in a village ,they were badly hurt after the exam ."
"And the west division of the AAE has postponed the exam for now"
Hazy replies "I have a plan for this situation"
Master Monim replies "let's hear it inside the tent"
All of them walk towards the tent and enter it.
Inside, is a table and chairs.
All of them sit and AAE head follows.
"So, here's what we know. These people are kidnapping army applicants and dojo students ,they use some kind of dark cloud to escape , we don't have a lot of information.....
But....some mysterious looking people wearing black robes were seen at each site of attack. "
Hazy adds " if young fighters is what they are looking for, we can set up a trap.
We can announce an inter dojo competition, best young fighters and students will participate, they will make a move and we can get a hold of them."
Master Monim "sounds like a plan ,so , let's talk to nearby dojos "
Hazy interrupts "No, a competition around here ,where they just attacked can raise some eyebrows .We will have to set up this trap somewhere far from here. Let's not make this obvious. AAE head sir, please contact a few dojo's and tell them about our plan, make sure they are aware of the risk, we don't want to mislead anyone. Master ,we need more men, can you send a word for our other squad members?"
Master Monim replies "I will send bob to get them, but they won't be coming soon. As I said, they need time to recover."
Hazy replies "I see. Well ,I will come up with a plan, if you don't mind"
Master Monim laughs "look at you, already acting as an official. Technically, you are not yet an army official you know?"
"But, I will let you play around , assuming our enemies don't pose a very serious threat"

Meanwhile, in a town from the south
A shop owner, who sells simple street food.
He has black hair that's short and messy.
And a decent sized black beard.
He blows on the coal to ignite the fire ,puts a grill on the fire. He then takes out a cleaver and chops down the meat. And then he starts cooking that minced meat. He puts on some kind of sauce on the meat, wraps the whole meal with a large leaf and gives it to the customer.
He is smiling, his smiling face makes the customer smile too..
"And this should be the last one, I have sold enough for today "
Its about time too (he says as his smile drops and a more serious face of his pops out)
The shopkeeper closes the make shift shop, grabs his tools and bag and starts walking to his home.
He comes out of his house ,empty handed ,
Moves through the complex streets and goes in a local church.
This church belongs to someone who is known as "The mother of Earth". An old women, almost on her death bed.
And her followers are going to meet today. The shopkeeper is her son. His name is Malice Butcher . His mother's Real name is Riki Butcher.
As Malice Butcher walks into the church, he sees his mother standing against the symbol engraved in the wall of the church , that is, a Circle.
"Mother, it's time "
His mother turns around slowly "i know ,child."
They walk around and Malice pushes a few chairs to the side revealing a door to the secret underground pathway.
Which leads to an underground chamber.
This chamber is big and lighted with candles .
There's a stage against a wall and some doors that go behind the stage towards another underground chamber.
As they walk ,lighting up the candles ,they are able to see people sitting on the chairs in front of the stage. Riki Butcher walks upto the stage and places the candle on the wall, putting light on the symbol engraved in the wall,
Which looks like a circle and two vertical parallel lines drawn over it.
Riki Butcher starts talking..
"It's been years, we started with nothing but a dream. A hope. Against all odds ,we have been working on what was destined to be done by us. Most of the followers already know our destiny, but for the new followers. I shall let this truth be known.
Terra , is the name of our planet. She is my daughter.
I know this sounds absurd but this is reality. It was destined.
Even before my birth, it was known by our family ancestors and they passed this knowledge with every generation.
Malice Butcher is my son, but I was never married. And I didn't had any relationship with any male my whole life, my parents didn't allow anyone near me to even talk to me.
Yet this miracle happened by the will of this universe. Now I will be sharing our family secrets with all of you, my entrusted followers"
She stops ,as she looks everyone with her eyes wide open, anger dripping down those eyes...but then she closes her eyes and stares down the floor....
"Terra feels pain. She has feelings and Humans are nothing but parasites living on her. She cant take it anymore. And she's asking you, the children of Terra, for your help."
She says while her body Shivers .
She falls on the stage and tears start falling down her face
"We must help my daughter, poor Terra ,We have to free her from this suffering.
Please help me "
Malice holds her and says in a deep and calm voice "Ma ,get a hold of yourself "
Malice Butcher takes over the stage
His smile ,faded away.
His tall and muscular frame tearing through the plane shirt he was wearing .His presence is menacing.
"Brothers ,look at our symbol on this wall. The
Circle represents Earth or Terra. The first line represents elimination of the humankind. The second line represents sacrifice. Many of our brothers will die for the cause, after we eliminate every human ,We will give our lives to Terra and free her.
In return, we will transcend from our physical bodies and join our brothers in Terra's Heart.
We will be immortal, we will have peace. But peace demands Sacrifice"
"For those who are willing to join us ,We welcome you. For those who wish to leave and leak our secrets ".
As he pulls two cleavers out of his pant's pockets and holds these large and sharp edged cleavers with a menacing look and a dark aura surrounding him.
"I will have to deal with them here "
None of followers move. The new followers are scared . The old followers have no emotions on there faces.
Malice Butcher puts the cleavers away "good, no blood this time. And now.....
It's time i show you what is behind this door. "
