Alliances Formed Chapter 2

Present, our dimension

The White House. Home to the most powerful man in the free world, the President of the United Stated. Over the years, many important decisions have been made in this building. Now one more must be made. A decision that could start a war.

Sitting in the Oval Office, the president contemplated the next course of action. The president's assistant and The Black Ninja entered the room, interrupting his thoughts. They shook hands and sat down.

“Black Ninja. Glad you could make it.”

“How could I refuse to meet with the President of the United States? What seems to be the problem?”

“Have you ever heard of Yugostan?”

Black Ninja thought for a moment before replying. “That's where those assassination attempts were made against their king a few months ago, right?”

“Right. It is a small country in the Middle East, about the size of Alaska. Problem is that since then, we haven't been able to get much information about what is going on there.”

“And you need my help with this because?”

“Because we what we do know is that the assassination attempts were likely the work of the drug lord known as Super Shift.”

Black Ninja started to laugh but stopped himself. “Aren't the good guys supposed to have super in front of their names?”

“Very funny.” The president said as he walked over to a slide projector and his assistant turned off the lights. “This is Super Shift. We are not sure if this is what he really looks like because he is a mutant, with the power of shape shifting.”

“Don’t you have some group designed to stop mutants?”

“We did, but it was disbanded as part of the treaty that ended the Mutagenic War.”

“Sure. There isn’t some secret government group to hunt down mutants.”

“Despite what the conspiracy theorists might say, there is no such group at this time. Now back to the briefing. Here's what we know about him. We think this is the real him. He is currently wanted in twenty-three countries for murder, drugs, terrorist activities, ect.”

The president changed the slide and continued. “Here he is at a rally a few months ago. Something about how he was the real ruler of Yugostan. Apparently he thinks that he is a direct descendent of their first king and queen.”

“So he's your basic insane megalomaniac?” The Ninja said as the lights came back on.

“Pretty much.” The president replied. “Your job is to capture him. He has enough men to start a war, and that isn't counting Yugostan's army. If he is in charge now, there could be major trouble.”

“When do I leave?”
