Arissa approached the coercing figures whom stood mechanically before the open aircraft, the three of them each identical and equally intimidating. One of them spoke as she came to a halt with Baron before them. The armed guards formed a horseshoe originating a few paces behind them, their machine guns nestled nervously underneath their arms.

"You have no need of guards here. No weapons will be fired in my presence." The one on the far left hand side spoke out - when clearly the assembled envoys of the Sokovian Government and the Shadow Conquerors, as well as a few mismatched members of other rebel groups and royal officials, had expected the Doom in the middle to be the one to represent them. Either way, the man - or whatever it was - spoke in a harsh and disdainful tone. On the other hand, he showed remarkable control in his dialect, allowing him to immediately take control of the situation. All of the figures were heavy set, towering, and embellished to a further degree by the glinting silver armour that protruded from beneath their delicate green cloaks. Arissa narrowed her eyes at the face masks, but she could not make out any sign of humanity. An efficient form in which to appear, thought Wanda as she examined the Dooms while one spoke, expelling any resemblance of emotion to fully instill fear in the opposition.
She glanced at Baron to note his dim-witted eyes, clearly challenged and offended by the Latverian monarch. Doom finished his speech, that was ostentatiously littered with commands, and then cut the Government man short while turning to face Arissa and Baron.
Wanda's mood was dark, and she knew Arissa's fists would be subconsciously clenched. The proximity between the Conquerors and the Government without conflict was unprecedented, and she did not take it well that this man, or myth as he appeared, could so easily gather them all to discuss their complex and long running war.

"I think you'll find," Wanda exclaimed, putting some effort into restraining her anger, "that your mere statement declaring it was Government men that accosted your borders discerns the perpetrator, Lord Doom."

As everyone turned to face the Doom that had been speaking, his voice began to emit from another forcing everyone to turn their heads to face the new one. [i]The easiest way to win, is to keep your opponent off balance.[/i] The longer he did that, the lest restless they would become and the less likely things were to devolve into fighting. While he could handle a fight he [i]was[/i] here to discern the truth so he could act accordingly while it would be no harder to face the rebels and the Government it was an unfavourable outcome.

"While you have a point, M'Lady, I shall ask you to open your mind a bit more. While uniforms of the Government were worn that does not mean the men beneath were of the same mind. You shall learn one day that not everything is as it seems-" Choosing his words carefully, he purposefully laid in a hint of a threat that he knew she wasn't quite as she appeared to be. "-One of you could be trying to play me against the other and rest assured it will not work. I require as much evidence as possible in order for you to convince me that you are innocent and that you are fighting the, pardon the Western expression - good fight."

All of the Dooms looked at the female speaker. "Never simply-" The voice moved to a new host. "-Believe your eyes."

"While that is all very dramatic of you," Drawled Wanda through her conduit, "You may have overlooked some pivotal factors. Tell me, Lord, have you observed the rulers of Sokovia over the past decades? Have you seen the withered husks of the oppressed populace? This Government is not fit to govern a farm, never mind a country. You mentioned men attacking your borders? It seems a fit action for the desperate state in which the President and his lackeys must find themselves. Do you not concur?"

The Dooms nodded. "I always watch my neighbours my dear, however it is also possible that your organisation has been watching me. Seen the power I wield and tried to play me against your foes." He signalled to the government representatives.

"I believe it is time we heard the counter argument."

The government representative, a burly and brooding man Wanda knew as Aleksei Systevich stepped up from the small crowd of Government officials who were clumped around advising him. He leered at Wanda and Baron as he stepped up before the three Dooms. The man was wearing a strangely large overcoat that obscured his body up to his feet. Systevich's face suddenly twisted in shock, and he put on a bumbling gesture with his huge hands. 

"Oh, uhm, excuse me, Latverian." Aleksei spun and began striding briskly back towards his group. Wanda could have been wrong but... [i]Is the ground... shaking?[/i]
Systevich bent down, and his motley crew of advisors began to back off towards the large airport building behind them all. The muzzles of the Sokovian army's guns were still aimed at the Latverian metalmen, and with a crippling realisation, Wanda knew their weapons would not move to subdue the rapidly assembling creature that Systevich was becoming.
[i]What did they use to call him before he became the President's lapdog? Why is he here? He's certainly not an efficacious diplomat...[/i]

"[i]Aaaaaaaaaaaggggrrrrrrrhhhhhhh![/i]" Shrieked Aleksei, now adorned in a full and menacing bodysuit. [i]Ah[/i], thought Wanda, [i]the Rhino[/i].
