December 31st 2029 — At 04:23 AM

Location: A.E.G.I.S HQ

The alarms were ringing on every level of A.E.G.I.S HQ at the night.

Red sirens were different—low, guttural, metallic. The kind of sound engineered to pierce bone and override instinct.

A sound that meant one thing CODE BLACK.

Inside the steel arteries of AEGIS HQ, red lights flared violently across corridors, splashing metal walls with crimson. Doors slammed shut one after another as security shutters dropped, sealing entire sections. Armed turrets rotated into position. The floor vibrated under the weight of bunker-wide lockdown protocols.

The world's most dangerous building had just awakened.

Hundreds of operatives from every division flooded the hallways—Elite Ops, cyber analysts, war strategists, surveillance officers, financial watchdogs. Some were half-dressed, dragged from sleep. Others arrived in full tactical gear. All wore the same expression: FEAR.

CODE BLACK, it was never been used for anything simple.

It was the protocol reserved only for catastrophic, world-ending threats, threat to A.E.G.I.S .

And tonight, for the first time since the protocol's creation… it had activated without warning.

It was manually activated by Director Jonathan A. Reiss (AEGIS Head Director), all over the base world wide bases, GSC representatives were also get the alert.

Inside, the air in the central war room trembled with urgency: holographic displays flickered to life, projecting maps, threat indicators, and global feed overlays; the huge circular table in the center lit up with lines of encrypted information streaming across its transparent surface—the AEGIS Command Core.

At the head of the chamber, the seven highest-ranking individuals in the entire agency assembled.

  Director Jonathan A. Reiss (AEGIS Head Director) — American

The man who commands the world's deadliest intelligence organization.

Director Arvind Rajvanshi (Elite Ops) — Indian

The man who commands the 10,000 operatives of global combat enforcement.

Director Sergei Volkov (Intelligence) — Russian

The man who knew more secrets than any living human being.

Director Han Ji-woon (Cyber Division) — Korean

The man capable of shutting down the internet of an entire nation.

Director Li Zhengwei (Financial Division) — Chinese

The man who could collapse a country's economy with a sentence.

Director Friedrich Adler (War Division) — German

The man who oversaw war escalation and bioweapon containment.

And standing slightly apart from them—

BDS Commander — Australian

Codename: COMMANDER

Real name: classified.

Face: unseen.

Presence: heavy, silent, lethal.

Every Director stood except him. Only the BDS Commander could sit in the presence of Head Director. He didn't, though—he simply stood with arms folded, expression concealed behind an emotionless stance. No badge. No uniform. No ID. Only authority.

The atmosphere around there was extremely tensed.

Director Reiss slammed his palm onto the biometric pillar at the center of the war table.

ORACLE-9 Initialize Global Feed. Connect to all GSC Leaders.

INITIALIZING GLOBAL FEED. CONNECTING TO GSC LEADERS IN 3. 2. 1 …

One by one 20 holographic screens started floating around the command hall, each-one screen stabilizing into the face of a G20 representative—the official heads of state under the facade of the Global Security Council.

Some were rubbing their eyes, some were dressed as they get alert before.

Some were furious, Some were cautious.

But all of them were rattled.

"Director Reiss, what is the meaning of this?"

"Why activate Code BLACK in the middle of the night?"

"What global threat are we facing?"

"Explain yourself immediately!"

Reiss held up his hand, And all of them felt silent.

Reiss tell VOID… it's VOID

He had surrendered himself to us.

WHAT! All the representatives got shocked.

Silence slammed into the room like a physical force.

The leaders stared. The Directors stiffened.

At last, the BDS Commander raised his head.

The G20 representatives exchanged horrified, disbelieving looks.

They knew the name. Not the details-AEGIS hid those-but the legend, the threat, the whispers.

VOID was not some sort of myth. He was an international nightmare.

A black hole in geopolitical stability. A man whose syndicate reached into every country.

One representative exhaled shakily. "Kill him."

Another added immediately: "You should have killed him the moment he came into your tent."

A third slammed his desk:

"POINT BLANK SHOOT HIM NOW!"

Before chaos erupted further, Director Reiss activated the holographic wall behind him.

It expanded into a massive digital screen.

This was the most dangerous man on earth.

The file ended with the most chilling statement:

"Containment Possibility: <0.2%."

BDS COMMANDER SAID, Now do you understand what it means to eliminate him without knowing why he surrendered.

We need to find out what he is planning first.

Chinese Leader asked where is void right now?

BDS COMMANDER replied, He is in Containment on LEVEL 7, restricted by electro-magnetic cables.

Outside his chamber we had placed 75 of 200 elite ops present at the base and CODE 72 to guardhim.

INDIAN representative took a deep breath like he is relived and asked:

But how did he know about A.E.G.I.S and it's HQ location? And Why did he surrender?

 

He turned himself in cooperatively when he said don't take his mask off now. He wants to do negotiations. Director Reiss and that's all.

Korean representative said in mocking tone. We GSC don't do negotiations with terrorist.

Australian representative added— Just eliminate him.

BDS commander interrupted saying, if it's as easy to do

Before he could elaborate,

All the 20 holographic screen started glitching violently.

Static, Colour distinction. Lines across the display.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly gets too tensed up.

Director Ji-woon (From Cyber Division) cursed and rushed toward his console.

"Something's wrong! Someone is overriding—"

CLICK.

The feed started to stabilizing again,

But the camera angles were different

On every representative's screen was horrific scene: Behind every representative. A man was standing behind them. Every representative's hands were bound. Gun pointed to each representative's head.

20 men

20 weapons

Perfect synchronization.

All twenty spoke at once.

Their voices a single, cold echo:

"We are THE OBSIDIAN ORDER."
