The helicopter blades above muffled all sound. There were the ten of them. The Shadow Knights. The building bellow had a large rounded roof and was a new construction to the west of New York. And inside it was all the families of the ten Shadow Knights. And also a bomb. It had been detected and they needed to evacuate the building and save them all. "this doesn't seem right. It's too much of a coincidence." "I know what you mean." They had all felt that it wasn't right and felt set up. The lights bellow blurred as the heel copter swayed. "Ready to jump?" Matt said. He leapt out an the others followed the sound of rope burning as they zipped down. Thud. They landed. They stuck to the plan and so Matt went to the main hall of the party that the many men and women had been invited to. Through ventilation shafts he crawled. When he reached the inside he realised, for such a modern and metallic building it's insides were extremely classic and old. It reminded him of what he thought a palace would look like. He sounded the alarms. Get the people out. Find the bomb and disable it. And find the bomb planter and all before the bomb exploded. Simple enough. He thought. If any situation like this could be simple. The music stopped and people turned in panic. Matt hid. Best to not get panicked by masked men and weapons. He thought. "We have found the placement of the bomb and downloaded the file. We can analyse the footage later." a muffled voice startled Matt. It was the rest of his team. "Good. Where is the bomb?" "on the eastern side of the building up a corridor and in the wine cellar beneath." "Okay send a team. You stay at the computer alert us on any news." "Yes, sir." he said reluctantly. Taking orders from a fifteen year old immigrant boy wasn't normal and the team disliked it. All was going smoothly. The bomb was found. The team we deactivating it. "Guys! Guys!" The speaker chirped, "Our families! They aren't in the crowed of people and have been located on the second floor taken hostage!" "Free your family members and then report back!" Matt ordered, "I'll get yours Charlie." he said trying to calm the nervous tech-soldier (as he called it). The lights flickered as Matt made his way down the corridor. He looked to his watch a map was on the screen two pin points. Charlie's first. Then his parents. The door creaked as the door was opened. Two figures were tied up and screaming through gags. He took out his knife and cut them free. They shook with fear and trembled in thanks. They ran from the room as fast as they could to get away. He looked to his watch the thrill and pride from saving these people. It took a while for him to adjust to the light. A man ran past he was tall and slim and held a detonate button. He planted the bomb! Matt ran after him. The chase was on.
