Thread: Beat the Elite

A soft sigh echoed in the quiet night as golden eyes peered out from the shadows at the city below. Five large men in suits were gathering around a car looking anxious as they passed around a black briefcase treating it as if it was made of gold. Up above the holographic stars were shining in the black sky illuminating the vibrant city in a strange blue glow from the synthetic environment. Everything about the city was kept perfect by laws of the government. The weather never changed from a mild, sunny day and the nights were always cloudless giving ample view of the moon hanging up above. All over the city there were holo screens telling people what the latest fashions were or how the government was protecting them from the evils that lurked all around. Everything was under the control of the government, even the use of magic. Centuries ago magic had been completely outlawed and people were taught that it was nothing more then smoke and mirrors by conmen who only wanted to murder and steal from common, decent people. Just thinking about it brought a smirk to the woman's lips at just how ignorant the people really were. Magic was alive and well in the world but hidden from plain view. They were a secret organization working under the radar for their own means. People who had inherent magical abilities that would have been killed at birth but were rescued and trained to use their talents in order to accomplish something amazing. Each of them powerful in their own way yet it was Tala who stood out as one of the strongest. The girl had been found when she was only five living on the streets and on the brink of death when they had taken her in. They taught her how to build her powers making sure to focus on spells and energies. Now, even at only twenty-two, she had within her an amazing source of power that had been put to good use over the years. It took money to fund this kind of program so they would take on odd jobs for very wealthy investors who wanted something that they did not want the government to find out about. It just so happened that this was one of those jobs. Donnavin was a crime boss who owned half the city and not a thing went down in the slums without his hands getting on it. He was to stand trial in the next coming weeks on some trumped up tax charge that the government was trying to pin on him. They were looking for other evidence to connect him to the countless murders, rapes, theft and tons of other crimes he had committed but so far they had fallen short. Yet the evidence they would need to lock him up forever was in that briefcase the men were standing around right now. Three discs containing videos showing Donnavin murdering people himself as well as a trail of paperwork connecting him to crimes all over the city. The government wanted it but they weren't the only ones. Someone else had hired her out to steal it and Tala honestly couldn't care who they were or what they wanted it for as long as they paid. Long blonde hair framed her face as she stood up from her vantage point on top of the roof to get a better view of the warehouse. She was clothed in black skin tight pants and a black leather jacket showing off her firm body and the contours of her muscles. In a job like this one always had to be in their peak physical condition at all times or risk dyeing on the job. She'd been watching everything take place long enough and now it was finally time to act before they all got away. Fixing the collar of her jacket she flexed her fingers as a strange red light began to shine from her fingertips. The air around her seemed to change dramatically almost as if she was giving off a substantial heat. The smirk was still playing on her face as the red light in her hands began forming into orbs looking as if they were made out of pure fire. Well boys, it's been fun but I think it's time for the show to begin.
