The **Battle of Enton** was a military clash between Agent Oskar Laake's Team, the Vortex Empire and the Etinson Mercenaries, with both faction's goal being the acquisition of the Ruby Sword of Enton relic.

## **Background**

Prior to the Battle of Enton, the team led by Agent Oskar Laake of the Terran Defence Organization were tasked by Colonel Klaus Teuber to obtain the relic known as the Ruby Sword of Enton.

Having already learned of the Vortex's involvement and their employment of the Etinson Mercenaries as hunters against the TDO team, Oskar's team had learned of the location of the relic after a Battle in Stagnum where they took the life of the mercenary Brock.

Once Commander Norgaard was informed of the location, he took his personal starship and deployed the mercenary Regine Kessler to begin an assault on the capital city with her shadow monster unit, clearing their way to the temple in the center of the city.

Racing to the planet, the two factions finally came to a clash when the TDO team started making their way to the dome building in the capital city of Enton.

## **The Battle**

As the TDO's relic hunting team landed by parachute on a park inside the Capital City of Enton, the mercenaries Keane Valensi and the vengeful Paul Musso were positioned over a hill that oversaw the whole area. The fighting began when Valensi and Musso combined their explosive and pyrokinetic powers to bombard the Orian team.

Being pinned behind a small hill at the base of the larger mound, Agent Laake ordered Corporal Angelo to break off from the group and continue the advance towards the dome temple on the center of the city, while Davis stayed with him to formulate a plan to defeat the two mercenaries uphill. Making use of Voltanium discs, the two were able to make an advance with Davis creating artificial barriers that could not be affected by fire, ultimately besting the combined firepower of the mercenaries.

Musso was temporarily defeated by Henry making use of a disk to create a swarm of bees that stung him, whilst Laake made quick work of Valensi after he fruitlessly tried to sneak up on the experienced Agent being shot in the head. Not a moment later, Musso was able to fend off Henry's swarm but before he could scorch the two relic hunters he was decapitated by Agent Laake.

Meanwhile, Blanca ventured into the city alone armed solely with his time manipulation metahuman ability and a handgun. He entered the empty city while advancing on the main road, finally encountering and eliminating a squad of shadow monsters created by Regine Kessler's metahuman power. Having attracted the whole cohort of entities, Angelo was forced to slowly advance over the course of an hour until he reached the base of a watchtower on which he suspected the enemy mercenary to be hiding.

Making use of his ability, the Corporal rotted one of it's supports, causing the structure to collapse. From within, both Regine and the mercenary leader Howard Etinson both parachuted downwards, but were both shot down by Angelo who caused their deaths by falling from a high distance. As Oskar and Henry raced to Angelo's location, Commander Slovknet entered the dome with a squad of soldiers.

While Davis raced ahead, he entered one of the buildings in which the last pair of mercenaries Corrie and Rose Kessler were, witnessing Kessler eliminate Corrie after she became unwilling to fight. Henry spared the woman, who exited the battle, and finally reunited with the rest of his team to strike the dome. While the civilian waited outside, Slovknet recovered the Ruby Sword and examined it, then being attacked by the two trained soldiers who quickly wiped out his squad. Norgaard then made use of his cryokinetic powers to incapacitate the two, but was then confronted by Davis who eventually overpowered him and poisoned him with a modified snake created from a disk. The death of Commander Norgaard Slovknet marked the ending of the confrontation.

## **Aftermath**

After the battle, the mission for the Ruby Sword was concluded, with team Oskar being disbanded shortly after and the relic being handed over to the Terran Defence Organization.
