The world will realize our strength and the potential to make it safer."[/color] T'Challa declared at the Tribal Council Chamber. It was the sole purpose of the entire meeting: to discuss what has been and will be done. But, he knew that there was going to be some push-back against the whole thing. N'Yami sat there in silence while her son spoke, watching the other advisors' reactions. When her son told her about ending the isolationism, she honestly had doubts about how opening up to the world will benefit them in the long run. However, King T'Challa needed all of the support right now before the Council decides to turn their backs on him. One of the advisors, Cangza, stood up in disgust and shouted, [color=rosybrown]"Blasphemy! You dare to desecrate our history by opening up to the outsiders."[/color] [color=lightcoral]"I agree! The council will never abide by this unholy breach!"[/color] Hodari said in support for Cangza. [color=#820893]"You may disagree with my decision, but you have no choice but to accept it."[/color] T'Challa responded to Hodari's declaration. No-one in the council cannot demand change since their only role is advisors to the king. Other members looked at each other and mumbled a few things while some took notes. The announcement was a surprise to everyone in the chamber. T'Challa started to walk away from the chamber, leaving the advisors to argue each other on the matter. Then, he heard his name being called out. [color=lightcoral]"T'Challa!"[/color] Hodari shouted across the chamber. [color=lightcoral]"You can't just leave! We demand answers!"[/color] [color=#820893]"I have more important matters to attend than sit here and argue with you."[/color] T'Challa said before leaving the chamber and heading to Shuri's lab. General Okoye awaited her king at the entrance of the chamber with her spear in hand. She was one of the first people that T'Challa told about his plans regarding Wakanda and the entire world. Okoye believed that he will success and bring more prosperity to the country. It also meant that they could finally help out the rest of Africa. But, it meant that the Dora Milaje needed to protect the royal family more than ever. Her job was about to get a whole lot more difficult. [color=blueviolet]"I take it that the meeting went well?"[/color] Okoye asked sarcastically. [color=#820893]"Almost everyone in the chamber was caught off guard. Cangza and Hodari were immediately against the idea while the others were silent. I am sure that they also against it also."[/color] T'Challa answered while he was walking towards the labs. There were lots of people walking around because cars were prohibited in the city because it damaged the environment. Cable cars and rapid transit systems dominated the city and kept it from becoming polluted like Los Angeles and Xingtai. T'Challa and Okoye made their way to the marketplace filled with people doing their daily shopping. It was an usual sight to see the King of Wakanda walking around the city so people didn't think twice. [color=blueviolet]"Where's the outsider?"[/color] Okoye asked while looking around for Vixen. [color=#820893]"Vixen? Zambesi with M'Baku to make sure the information provided by the captain wasn't a lie."[/color] T'Challa answered.

We should do some-" the solider couldn't finish his sentence as he felt someone squeezing him to death. The other soldier tried to call for help but his mouth was covered. The White Gorilla snapped his neck while Vixen dropped the other dead solider to the ground. Both of them looked at the building where Abiesa was being held. Abiesa was a vocal opponent of Mustapha Maksai's dictatorship over the small African country. Six months ago, she was kidnapped from her home in Johannesburg and her lover of forty years was killed. The local authorities left the case cold and nobody knew where she was until now. Thanks to the capture of Captain Bahta, he was able to provide a location of where Abiesa was held. And based on the two guards, the information looked to be good. Now, it was time to save her before it was too late. Vixen went ahead while the White Gorilla kept his distance to watch her back. She quietly walked passed a few guards around a campfire and entered the building. Meanwhile, there were two people on the roof of a lone building overlooking the place. Recently, their names became well-known in the criminal world for several assassinations on investigative journalists throughout the fall. Now, they were tasked with killing Vixen and retreating a necklace from her dead body. [color=brown]"Maybe we can finally go on that honeymoon to the Caribbean islands once we collect our payment."[/color] [color=darkgreen]"That sounds romantic, bunny."[/color] [img]https://image.ibb.co/gjAbQf/9d0718f5ee5cd3b12949a9e9f6be5a7b.jpg[/img]
