Asia is a very unique continent, with a variety of lifestyles, peoples, cultures, and languages. For any average person to master one of the country's way of life, it would take upwards of a year just to familiarize oneself with it; to master more than one, each subsequent one more different from the other, it would take a lifetime. That is why Agents of the Asian orientation, superb and excellent individuals, are valuable and well taken care for - and even then, they are rare to come by. Viccar had arranged for them extra resources: equipment, contacts, vehicles, rights. They were going to have a hard time with tackling the Cambodian issue. These four individuals, bright as they were, had very little knowledge on Cambodia and the twins. It was never a point of attraction, but in that few hours that they flew over to the Southeast Asian nation, they'd become accustomed to everything Cambodia. The twins, however, were a different thing altogether. Resources had no records at all of these two Anomalies, which must mean the manifestation of their powers were only recent. It's assumed that the twins together have incredible powers of telekinesis and a part of telepathy in a magnitude so vast, and at such a precocious age compared to their records of other Anomalies. The four agents have just landed. They were on their way to the twins' house. [hr] Footage from the event was strictly contained and only the police and military authorities of the Cambodian government have access to it - of course, the UN and the Agents being the rare exceptions. The government is adamant on taking the cover that this was only an earthquake, and not some form of terrorist attack, and especially not one of the supernatural kind so vile and distasteful to their eyes, a spiritual, natural upbringing of fairness, balance, righteousness, and nothing magical and evil of the sort. The twins, identified as Dara and Thy Keo, whose father was recently murdered in the hands of one of many underground societies in the Asian region, lived in rural Siem Reap not fifteen minutes away from what once was Pub Street. It was strange to see them return back to their home, expecting them to do the opposite. They were kids, after all, who had lost all they had. But, they were still part of perhaps the worst disaster to happen to Cambodia since the Civil War. They were needed for questioning. [hr] They heard the sirens first, and soon enough they were surrounded. Barricades were formed all around the building, and a helicopter was hovering in place. A man with a loudspeaker barked orders to stand down and surrender themselves. The twins, still overcome with grief and anger, held hands and stood motionless, wondering whether to follow their orders or not. "ពួកគេនឹងសម្លាប់យើង | They're going to kill us." "ប៉ុន្តែអ្វីដែលប្រសិនបើពួកគេមិនបាន? | But what if they're not?" "តើអ្វីទៅជាម្តាយនិងឪពុកនឹងធ្វើយ៉ាងណា? | What would mom and dad do?" "ខ្ញុំមិនដឹងថា | ... I don't know." Their grip on each other's hand was so tight, clung to one another. Thy opened the door and the two stood in front of a menacing line of angry men and women, firearms pointed right at them, a terrifying and confusing sight, what with the twins only being 11 years old, barely five feet tall. They took in the angry and horrified expressions on the officers' faces, many of them whose relatives and loved ones victims of the Pub Street incident. Many wanted revenge. Many wanted to pull the trigger. Dara read their thoughts, and was scared for her life. [hr] The four agents had arrived too late, and the police were already cornering the twins to their house. They wanted to act now, perhaps cause enough of a diversion to take them discreetly, or perhaps to take them out with force to apprehend the twins themselves. However, what they saw they could not believe. It might as well have come from a fantasy horror movie. From the ground, hands made from earth sprouted and the officers started panicking, trying to run only to be stopped by hands gripped around them hard. Soon, figures crawled out from the earth, human-like in shape, but so unnatural in their lack of intricate detail. They reached for whatever surface they could on the police vehicles. Altogether, hands and figures, they started to pull down. Officers fired stray shots but before they knew it, they were being crushed as they were dragged down to the earth. Soon, everyone besides the twins were gone, muddled into the earth, staining it red. The vehicles were flattened so forcefully, it's incredible to take in how much strength these terra-humans have. The helicopter was the last of the arrest team when it took was taken down. The cockpit's window was sprayed red from the blood of the pilot's brain imploding on itself, and the helicopter crashed right on the twins. A thick wall of earth had come up, blocking the explosion completely, leaving the two unscathed. "C-team to headquarters, sending in footage now of most recent attack, please advise." Just what kind of advice did they think they were going to receive? [hr] In other news, flights into and out of Cambodia have been halted. Media coverage is spreading like wildfire as reporters vie for more information to the incident. Another event to occur just after the dragon taking to the air. What is going on in this planet? All that's known for sure, there is widespread panic, and people are trying to get out of the country. No one, absolutely no one, is allowed to leave. The world economy is crashing. Public trust is falling. Terror is at an all-time high. Viccar, with a seemingly innocuous message to Ms. Jordan, wondered whether he should send it over or not. "Press Conference in one hour. The higher-ups demand it. The public is concerned the earthquake isn't an earthquake, but rather an attack by the dragon-monster again."
