Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 – Powdered Metals

Third-person POV

 As night falls in Tokyo, three hubs in Chiyoda were swarmed by the foreign agents from the three superpowers. They shut down the country's network and grid systems with 3 kill switches. They declared themselves as the destined inheritors of the Special Regions. But, the blackout lasted for 3 minutes when the MPC agents, 10 from each country burst in with weapons aimed at them. The flags of their countries weren't on their tactical vests; instead, a Crusader cross in green, white, blue, red, and yellow was on its place.

 "Dapa!" one NBI agent, James Mabini, barked at them.

James Mabini, 26 years old and had black ruffled hair and orange eyes, was a descendant of Apolinario Mabini.

Bullets were fired back from the 3 Superpower agents, who also hurled diplomatic threats and economic sanctions for the MPC nations.

 "This is our destiny!" one CIA officer shouted. "Steal it from us, and you will see your country's economy back to the medieval times!"

But, their words are useless, and the 3 Superpower agents were tackled to the floors by the boots of the Greek, Filipino, and Brazilian agents.

 "Shut up, idiots…" one Brazilian agent, 29-year-old Thiago Rocha, hissed coldly with a thick Rio De Janerio accent.

 In those three separate locations, the MPC agents quickly unplugged the kill switches, and the other MPC agents, especially those from Greece and the Philippines, plugged their Restorationist Drives, masterfully crafted drives modified for restoring power and network in any country. The power in Japan were restored in seconds, plus, a message of defiance were displayed to the intelligence agencies of the three superpowers:

Filipino: Huli ka! (Got you!)

Spanish: Buen intento. (Nice try.)

Indonesian: Usaha yang bagus. (Nice try.)

Greek: Καλή προσπάθεια. - Kalí prospátheia. (Nice try.)

Turkish: Güzel deneme. (Nice try.)

Portuguese: Boa tentativa. (Nice try.)

Italian: Bel tentativo. (Nice try.)

The Italian captain with red-brown hair and blue eyes, 35-year-old Milan native Federico Carmero, gave a smirk on their restoration work. "Ms. Sforza would be proud of our tactics."

 "Hey! That's our switches!" one SVR agent hissed while heavy boots of Greek and Turkish agents were pressed against his back. "You'll pay for this, bitches! Your countries will be isolated for your intervention for our sabotaged destiny!"

 "No, we won't," said one Spanish agent, Margaret José, with a smirk. "Too late. Say adios to your expensive heaps of metal."

With a synchronized move across 3 locations, the kill switches were dropped to the floor and smashed them with the boots of the MPC agents.

Billions of dollars were spent on the metallic switches were gone in seconds and crushed into powdered metal.

 "What a waste of metal and money…" one Indonesian agent with blue hair and black eyes, 25-year-old Bayu Setyawan, spat at the powder.

 "You ruined our military-grade drives!" one MSS agent roared against them. "I'll tell this to the MSS, and your cheap flow of goods from us will stop, and your prices will skyrocket!"

But the MPC agents didn't care, and three of them, one from Turkey (Barış Yapıcı), one from the Philippines (Odesa Quezon, a descendant of Manuel Quezon), and one from Greece (Theofylaktos Filo) leaned forward, picked up some metallic dust, and sprinkled them on the tackled agents from the three superpowers.

 "But how?!" one SVR agent hissed while thrashing against being pressed on by the heavy boots. "How did you know our plans? It was encrypted!"

James stepped in and leaned forward, giving a cold smirk. "We had a little help from an old kaibigan, the old ILOVEU virus. Remember that from the 2000s?"

As the other MPC agents snickered in tactical mischief, the foreign agents from the three superpowers were utterly shocked.

 "What?" one CIA agent shrieked in unadulterated shock and fury. "You used the computer virus that hacked my agency's computers on that May of 2000?! The one that caused billions of dollars in damages?!"

 "Yup!" one Brazilian agent with green, long hair and brown eyes, 30-year-old Esther Pinto, chirped. "The NBI used that, remodified it, and hacked your intelligence agency's very dirty files."

 "It wasn't dirty! It was for our country's interests and future!"

 "Look who's saying future?" Rahman scoffed in response. "Your countries exploited various countries, stupid."

The hacking of the intelligence agencies of the three superpowers using the new, modified version ILOVEU virus also did the trick of restoring Japan's network and power grids through the Restorationist drives thanks to the modified virus's killing of the kill switches' malicious codes.
