Trigger Warning: Expect the worst just incase
Dillon Darga was an intelligent man before his untimely demise, a terrible incident involving swans, his passion project was a modular team of individuals either recruited, made, or indentured into the service of Project Darga to deal with "special scenarios"

Normal intelligence-agents obviously can't spy on a living apartment complex from outside spacetime, trained soldiers are gonna get ripped apart in a battle against Tyssiakian murder golems, and the F.B.I. are gonna have problems arresting an evil mastermind for drug smuggling when the guy has more contingency plans than there is matter in the universe

Your guys can deal with all those things and more, thanks to funding from the U.S. Government, you've got all the tools needed to go out and kick ass....

For the safety of America of course, definitely

The End/Beginning Of Darga
Not many people were at his funeral, he never socialized much, almost always focusing on his work, trying to improve the world, he died alone
Only a couple coworkers and government officials showed up
Darga was one of the Impossi-Men, a person affected by the Impossible-Zone, some of the more pretentious scientists would refer to him as an Exo-Mind, the theory being that the Impossible-Zone connected him to some kind of extra-dimensional processing system which acted like an extension for his brain

But normal people just called him a super genius, though not the kind that made machines, most super geniuses hate it when people assume they all make robots, some of course can calculate well, are charismatic, and his expertise was organization, his time in the C.I.A. had greatly improved their cohesion and rooted out a many corrupt members

Some of the more paranoid thought he had plans to overthrow the American government and turn the entire country into a perfect utopia by making a system that would work indefinitely (His plans for that were burned along with the other Dargas, he bought a cloning machine just incase he died, his killers were handsomely paid in literal breadcrumbs) but in his passing he left a couple things

A novelty sunglasses wearing coffee mug for his coworker Marco, he owed the dude a coffee mug after breaking the dude's Number 1 Dad mug, he was on his way back from the store with it before he died, there was a reminder note in his pocket that said "Give Marco mug"
And the plans for a modular group of super powered individuals to deal with things normal government resources can't handle, which were of course followed to create the group known as Darga

You'll be running a dead guy's suicide-squad style project, good luck

Assets
Director Jonathan "Average Joe" Dwimmer
Former accountant for the FBI that was really good at his job, he had to be promoted but his higher ups didn't like him, so they sent him here
The second reason for being the Director for Darga is because he unconsciously manipulates reality to match his definition of normal, which weakens superpowers and any technology beyond that of modern make
Always looks nervous and tired
Drinks a ton of coffee

Aldo "Ever-Mafioso" Rossi
Speaks like a mobster, dresses like a mobster, and has personally gained knowledge of American life dating back to the 1920s
Last living member of the Moretti Mob, during a jewel heist but he accidentally activated the AMULET OF ETERNIX shattering it and ending up becoming eternally 29
Has outlived his friends and family, was found crashing at his great great great grand nephew's house when we recruited him
His skills at gunplay and fighting were refined since the roaring 20s
Collects memorabilia of his dead friends
Knows how to brew alcohol

Keiko "Cyberslice" Dutchwell
Only 17 but has ended up fused with some kinda symbiotic swarm of nanomachines, which allow her to almost instantly wear a high-tech set of alien armor with blade arms, giving her great strength and endurance, the armor also repairs itself but that takes time
She only joined cause it was either keep some of her freedom but go on dangerous missions for the government, or go on the run and risk her family's safety, eventually get caught, and then dissected, she made her choice
Big fan of action movies and watches a lot of them
Knows how to speak spanish, pig latin, mandarin, and somehow can decipher the demonic slang of the british

Jimmy "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Dunnard
Is a psychic in constant agonizing pain who is only semi-functional at the moment, he can spread this pain to others and read minds to see their most painful memories
Aside from that not much else, except their great baseball skills, he used to be a star baseball player before unlocking his abilities with a baseball straight to the head......
Yeah, his powers are the only reason we even considered letting him join
Likes classic rock, has a bunch of vintage Elvis cds to help relax


It just kinda showed up at the door and has not left since
Small robot resembling a child wearing some kind of green uniform, has a screen showing the kanji for stop as a face, has four arms and only responds with safety advice in Japanese, seems to understand and follow orders just fine
Has the ability to freeze up to four things, one thing for each hand, the it can freeze things in stasis up to the size of a car, if it uses more hands for a singular freeze the size limit increases by one car for each hand
Keeps stealing Average Joe's computer to make google slideshows about safety advice, the slideshows are in japanese
Reserved
Minor Government Funding
Not much but you get monthly payments for all the necessities, such as electricity and water for the base, enough money for everyone's paychecks, stuff like that, if you do a good job they'll probably send more

Gaslighting Psychologist's Tablet
This tablet belonged to a psychologist who, although not very good at his work, was an expert at making people question their own reality. By writing on it and making a disapproving shake of the head, the holder can superimpose a custom view of reality onto the subject, causing an irrational desire to prove to the other person that their reality is correct (can by anything, magical powers, conspiracies, technology that shouldn't work but does work, etc, though it won't be super strong at first
If the subject is unable to concretely demonstrate to the other person that their reality is correct, they slowly begin to convince themselves of this madness, causing panic attacks and existential crisis if in the later stages
After constant and prolonged use on the same subject, it can cause an irrational fear of anything that strays from the imposed reality, to the point of driving them into a violent frenzy
The effects of the tablet on the subject diminish with time separated from the holder of the tablet, although it has been reported that in the most extreme cases (Months of "treatment") that some effects may linger

Xarla's Heart
The blood pumping organ of a Ultraterrestrial warlord, its consumption will give an individual great power is what the Fred prophecy states
St Greta's Penitentiary
Used to be an old prison for people with superpowers, problem was that it was a prison for people with superpowers and so they couldn't keep account for everyone
The government decided to give it to you since they already built a new one somewhere under Ohio
Lots off space for the storage of both items and people

Setting Things Up
The director walked into their office and began sorting out the paperwork, they've got a lot of stuff to do, but first, who the hell are they?
Choose one

- [] Director Jonathan "Average Joe" Dwimmer: An expendable accountant from the F.B.I. who does a pretty good job and was put into this experimental group for 2 reasons, he was doing such a good job that they had to promote him, but they didn't like him, he also unconsciously makes reality around him to match his definition of normal, so technology beyond that of modern make or any superpowers are weakened within his range

- [] Director Kenna "The Survivor" Metark: Young member of the navy who went on an expedition to an island that rose out of the oceans near American waters, it was inhabited by old and forgotten gods, wielding blades that could cut steel like butter and chanting mantras that flayed flesh from bones, she was the only survivor of the incident, she came back changed and also confused about how or why, her skin became obsidian black, grew 3 eyes crying blue fire, and she could summon a bunch of swords similar to those of the island gods, here cause they didn't know what to do with her so they sent her here

- [] Director Maxwell "Maybe Maxwell" Lamenta: Was a platoon leader in Afghanistan, one of the best, died before he could get recalled back home, we know for certain he was dead because he was blown to bits by a direct shot from a missile launcher, he arrived home at his apartment a week later totally fine, as far as the government knows he has the exact same memories and personality of Maxwell, the higher ups don't trust him completely but he is still a great tactician, so they sent him here

- [] Suggest a Director
(Subject to veto or rewriting)

Now that is sorted out what kind of sight did they see when arriving at their base of operations?
Choose one

- [] The Bone Farm: Former-home to a deceased but still notorious serial killer that had magic that could manipulate, enhance, and create parts of the human skeletal structure, inside the walls and fence there are the magically enhanced bones of his victims which can take a couple grenades and still be fine, so it's very defensible, great place in my opinion

- [] St Greta's Penitentiary: Used to be an old prison for people with superpowers, problem was that it was a prison for people with superpowers and so they couldn't keep account for everyone, a single prisoner with an ability that couldn't be managed escaped and killed all the staff, soon the rest got out and rampaged but that was luckily solved with explosive rounds applied to their skulls, you can have this hellhole if you want, lots of space to store stuff or people

- [] Normal Office Building: Just a normal office building only a couple miles from the city, benefits are that nearby is a donut place that is LITERALLY worth dying for, like holy shit that place is great, fucking love Dave's Donuts, goddamn!

- [] Suggest a Base
(Subject to veto or rewriting)

Wow... that was all you were given? Okay maybe you've got something better in the inventory, maybe your bosses gave you something good to work with
Choose one

- [] A Study On Cosmo-Fish: A manuscript written by and confiscated from a subway worker (the sandwich kind) detailing the complex entities known as Cosmo-Fish, good for understanding them, and attracting them towards certain areas as either distractions, attacks, or possibly food if you call forth a weaker one

- [] HYPERTRON-BELT: Experimental device created by an eccentric member of the military's R&D department, if worn while performing a cool pose you'll grow to the size of a building with strength to match, only lasts a minute before needing 25 hours to recharge

- [] Old Cowboy Revolvers: It's just an enormous pile of completely identical revolvers, even have the same scratch on the handle as the others, where the hell did they even get these?

- [] Suggest a Resource
(Subject to veto or rewriting)

.... Do they want you to fail!? Nevermind, maybe your potential operatives would be less disappointing
(Choose four, also there'll be A LOT)

- [] Aldo "Ever-Mafioso" Rossi: Speaks like a mobster, dresses like a mobster, and has personally gained knowledge of American life dating back to the 1920s, last living member of the Moretti Mob, during a jewel heist but he accidentally activated the AMULET OF ETERNIX shattering it and ending up becoming eternally 29, has outlived his friends and family, was found crashing at his great great great great grand nephew's house when we recruited him, his skills at gunplay and fighting were refined over many years

- [] Keiko "Cyberslice" Dutchwell: Only 17 but has ended up fused with some kinda symbiotic swarm of nanomachines, which allow her to almost instantly wear a high-tech set of alien armour with blade arms, giving her great strength and endurance, the armour also repairs itself but that takes time, she only joined cause it was either keep some of her freedom but go on dangerous missions for the government, or go on the run and risk her family's safety eventually get caught and then dissected, she made her choice

- [] Fridged: Monstrosity that can shapeshift into inanimate objects up to the size of a fridge and down to the size of a coffee mug, can also grow a lot of teeth and tendrils, it went on a killing spree before being caught, seemed very useful so we it was kept alive and if it was behaving well it was fed a death row inmate or two, nobody knows what it originally looked like cause it prefers the fridge form

- [] Songful-Seraphim: Strange humanoid entity that is white with some light shades of pastel pink on their hands and the tips of the many wings wrapped around their hovering body, instead of a face a large love heart takes the place of any features, no ears either, but they can still use the 5 senses just fine, alongside flight, they can create weapons made of hard light up to the size of a truck by singing unearthly and disorienting hymns despite not having a mouth

- [] Jimmy "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Dunnard: Is a psychic in constant agonizing pain who is only semi-functional at the moment, he can spread this pain to others and read minds to see their most painful memories, aside from that not much else, except their great baseball skills, he used to be a star baseball player before unlocking his abilities with a baseball straight to the head...... yeah his powers are the only reason we even considered letting him join

- [] 止: It just kinda showed up at the door and has not left since, small robot resembling a child wearing some kind of green uniform, has a screen showing the kanji for stop as a face, has four arms and only responds with safety advice in japanese, seems to understand and follow orders just fine, has the ability to freeze up to four things, one thing for each hand, it can freeze things in stasis up to the size of a car, if it uses more hands for a singular freeze the size limit increases by one car for each hand

- [] Robo-Rodeo: Bunch of failed attempts at making robotic policemen, "don't worry Mr President, I know it looks bad but we'll make super cool weapons for the future surveillance state one day", anyway these guys broke out, then got sad cause they had no meaning, then they watched the good, the bad, and the ugly through some guys window and adored the genre, now they dress up like cowboys and speak in southern accents, they've got high-tech targeting systems in their heads to help aim their guns, durable metal bodies, and knowledge about western movies, came back when we promised them legitimate cowboy clothes and guns

- [] Salsa-Nator: Head is an eye of providence, body is a classical illustration of a human skeleton, arms and legs are made of jumbled words cut out from magazines, she has the ability to fly, knows all information related to Lucky Charms cereal and or Richard Nixon's parents, speaks in anagrams, is a Dadaist collage that flew off the canvas and just showed up, also has the ability to temporarily make everyone in a 4 meter radius around her go WACKO, just absolutely ZANY, positively LUDICROUS, even writing and symbols start going crazy and changing!

- [] Cassie "Cosmo-Cassie" Millton: Astronaut that got lost in the Impossible-Zone during a failed FTL drive experiment during the 1970s, came back still wearing suit but her body is now a human sized universe, she is a skilled explorer from her many years trapped in the Impossible-Zone, and can generate very small supernovas to blast enemies with, also knows a couple things about repairing rockets and lore of the Impossible-Zone, the lore is mostly nonsense she is possibly making up to sound cool

- [] Faceless Fred: Y'know Slenderman? This is the guy he's based off of, only his appearance matches the stories, minus the tentacles, anyway he has been wandering the country for awhile, town to town, only spotted sometimes, that's how the stories spreaded, he has the ability to make himself incredibly difficult to notice and remember at will, which helped hide and steal nices to eat or food to wear..... I think I got those mixe- anyway, we found him, put him in a box, he wanted to get out of the box, we offered a wage for him to buy food and clothes, he accepted

- [] Suggest a Operative
(Subject to veto or rewriting)

Welp, that's all you've got fine, great, fantastic, no sarcasm at all!

[X] Plan "Un equipo increíblemente normal"
- [X] Director Jonathan "Average Joe" Dwimmer: Un contador prescindible del FBI que hace un trabajo bastante bueno y fue puesto en este grupo experimental por 2 razones, estaba haciendo un trabajo tan bueno que tuvieron que promoverlo, pero no les gustó, también inconscientemente hace realidad a su alrededor para que coincida con su definición de normal, Por lo tanto, la tecnología más allá de la de la fabricación moderna o cualquier superpotencia se debilita dentro de su alcance.
- [X] Penitenciaría de Santa Greta: Solía ser una antigua prisión para personas con superpoderes, el problema era que era una prisión para personas con superpoderes y, por lo tanto, no podían llevar cuentas a todos, un solo prisionero con una habilidad que no se podía manejar escapó y mató a todo el personal, pronto el resto salió y arrasó, pero eso afortunadamente se resolvió con rondas explosivas aplicadas a sus cráneos, Puedes tener este infierno si quieres, mucho espacio para almacenar cosas o personas.
-[X] Gaslighting Psychologist's Tablet: Esta tableta pertenecía a un psicólogo que, aunque no era muy bueno en su trabajo, era un experto en hacer que la gente cuestionara su propia realidad. Al escribir en él y hacer un movimiento de desaprobación de la cabeza, el titular puede superponer su propia visión de la realidad sobre la del sujeto, causando un deseo irracional de demostrarle a la otra persona que su realidad es correcta (llámese poderes mágicos, conspiraciones, tecnología que no debería funcionar pero funciona, etc.). Si el sujeto es incapaz de demostrar concretamente a la otra persona que su realidad es correcta, lentamente comienza a convencerse de su locura, teniendo ataques de pánico y causando crisis existenciales. Después de un uso constante y prolongado sobre el mismo tema, puede causar un miedo irracional a cualquier cosa que se desvíe de la realidad impuesta, hasta el punto de llevarlos a un frenesí violento. Los efectos de la tableta sobre el sujeto disminuyen con el tiempo separado del soporte de la tableta, aunque se ha informado que en los casos más extremos (meses de "tratamiento") la duda aún permanece en lo más profundo de sus mentes en cuanto a si lo que experimentan es real.

- [X] Aldo "Ever-Mafioso" Rossi: Habla como un mafioso, se viste como un mafioso, y ha adquirido personalmente conocimiento de la vida estadounidense que se remonta a la década de 1920, último miembro vivo de la mafia Moretti, durante un robo de joyas, pero accidentalmente activó el AMULETO DE ETERNIX rompiéndolo y terminando convirtiéndose eternamente en 29, ha sobrevivido a sus amigos y familiares, Fue encontrado estrellándose en la casa de su tatarabuelo sobrino cuando lo reclutamos, sus habilidades en el juego de armas y la lucha se refinaron durante muchos años.

- [X] Keiko "Cyberslice" Dutchwell: Solo tiene 17 años, pero ha terminado fusionada con una especie de enjambre simbiótico de nanomáquinas, que le permiten usar casi instantáneamente un conjunto de armadura alienígena de alta tecnología con brazos de hoja, lo que le da una gran fuerza y resistencia, la armadura también se repara a sí misma, pero eso lleva tiempo, solo se unió porque era mantener algo de su libertad pero ir a misiones peligrosas para el gobierno, o huir y arriesgar la seguridad de su familia eventualmente ser atrapada y luego diseccionada, ella hizo su elección

- [X] Jimmy "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Sí, sus poderes son la única razón por la que incluso consideramos dejarlo unirse.

- [X] 止: Simplemente apareció en la puerta y no se ha ido desde entonces, un pequeño robot que se asemeja a un niño que lleva algún tipo de uniforme verde, tiene una pantalla que muestra el kanji para detenerse como cara, tiene cuatro brazos y solo responde Con consejos de seguridad en japonés, parece entender y seguir las órdenes muy bien, Tiene la capacidad de congelar hasta cuatro cosas, una cosa para cada mano, el puede congelar cosas en estasis hasta el tamaño de un automóvil, si usa más manos para una congelación singular, el límite de tamaño aumenta en un automóvil por cada Han.
You're gonna have to change it I can't read chinese

Well, it's kind of sad that I was the only one who voted. What if we leave the voting open a while longer?
 
Choose Your Mission 1
Director Dwimmer was sitting at the old warden's desk looking at Darga's first assignment, he took a sip from his coffee, then a sip from his other cup of coffee, and the other, and the other, this cycle repeated 7 times, I'm surprised he didn't get stains on the folder

What is your assignment?
(Choose one)

[] Operation: The Gate In The Church
-[] Briefing: During the cold war a soviet super-soldier named "Beast" was sent over to assist some spies in stealing an experimental device called the "Gate To Arcadia" that could access the Impossible-Zone, they succeeded, a counter team were sent over to retrieve the device before the soviets reached their escape route, resulting in a shootout in an abandoned catholic church that the soviets were hiding out in, the result was the "Gate To Arcadia" accidentally activating, the energies from the Impossible-Zone infecting the entire area, making it incredibly lethal for others to enter, it was closed off for years, but recently the area has become far less lethal, sadly some others have heard of this and have sent their own operatives to retrieve the "Gate", sneaking past the walls we built around the incursion area, your job is to also retrieve the device before the others do, also kill and or kidnap the other operatives if you can
-[] Reward: Some swanky badges, also you can keep one thing from the incursion area that you bring back, it cannot be the "Gate To Arcadia"

[] Operation: Suburban Sabotage
-[] Briefing: An attempt at creating the perfect community, an experimental supercomputer mixed with arcane techniques and Impossible-Zone energies manages an area classified as "Suburbia" which is a part of itself, and it is spreading, converting its victims into what it believes to be the perfect citizens, we could of course napalm the damn thing, but it seems to be able to heal itself faster than we can blow it up, and the fire only delays it, we need you to go inside and mess with "Suburbia's" functions, aka fuck up its "Perfect" community, piss in whatever parks you can find, eat all the pie at their annual pie baking contest, make sure it's too focused on being perfect to repair itself, then get out before the planes get to work
-[] Reward: If this goes well, we'll give you some controlled leftovers from the "Suburbia" project, they're one use but they can heal almost anything except death

[] Operation: Trucker-Quest
-[] Briefing: There is some kind of ancient prophecy among a small group of seers that a hero in a steel chariot accompanied by a band of strange heroes will travel down a road of madness to slay a great and alien evil, that hero is Fred, a trucker, and those companions will be you, on a desert highway in Texas an Ultraterrestrial incursion is taking place, and horrific beings from the Impossible-Zone are spilling in, none of our troops can handle the situation and the air support keeps getting shot down by energy beams, Fred accidentally crashed into the area and squashed a bunch of demons that even some trained soldiers couldn't handle, turns out the monsters get weaker when the prophecy is followed, so yeah, you and a company of soldiers are going to guard Fred and get him close enough to the Ultraterrestrial at the centre of the desert so he can kill it like the prophecy says
- [] Reward: The prophecy also says that the Ultraterrestrial will have their heart ripped out by Fred, and it also says the heart will give those that consume it some of its strength, you can have it if you want, and if you grow attached to Fred you can hire him you wanna

[] Operation: Waifu-For-Laifu
-[] Briefing: We assume a popular mangaka named Goro Ito is actually being inhabited by a psychic parasitic entity, in the olden days these things were called Succubi, they're small creatures that show their victims visions of an individual who is attractive in the victim's opinion, before burrowing into them to become a singular entity, the guy is very good at his craft, and has made an incredibly popular romance manga called "Doki Doki Secret Feelings" while under their influence, the Succubi's plan is to make as many people attracted to the characters of the manga as possible and than take advantage of that to easily lure people using visions of the characters without having to research all their preferences, the only reason we're not shutting the anime convention he's attending down is that they'll just scatter if we do that, which will be a big mess to deal with, we're going to send you in with a cure the R&D Department has made, and you're going to use it to make the parasite in Goro eject, then we hold it hostage, the Succubi are very loyal to their leader so they'll be forced to follow our orders if they want their boss back safe
-[] Reward: You can keep the gold statue of their boss in Fight Mode that we found in their secret base which we raided, it could be good decoration or you could pawn it, we don't care

Yeah, fred seems like a good guy. Although the healing ability of the suburbia project will surely save our asses later.

Trucker Quest: Part 1
The Texas air was hot and heavy, vultures flew overhead, attracted by the smell of the local warzone, the highway it was occurring on closed off by military vehicles
Average Joe could hear distant screams in the direction of the incursion, and things that sounded like screams but backwards too but mixed in with the laugher of jackals

An old man walked up to him "So you're the Director of the Darga project? Thought you'd look weirder considering the kind of group you command, they didn't give me any description of you"
Average Joe faced the commander and shook his hand, he almost tripped over thanks to the man's firm grip and strength "Yeah, I do look average, uuuuhhhh... nice to meet you Colonel Dilleger, if you're him and they gave me the right picture"
"Yeah I'm him, most of my men are busy keeping the Ultraterrestrials in this desert, and...... it could be going better, we got that chosen one fella already set up with a convoy, 2 tanks, 4 armoured vehicles, and 16 men ready to help you out"

As Director Dwimmer and the Colonel discussed the plan of approach, Aldo, Keiko, Jimmy, and 止 were talking with Fred, since they were all intimidated by the properly trained soldiers
Aldo came with the first questions "So does the prophecy say you get a sword, or are you just gonna kill that guy with your bare hands?"
"I don't know if it's a guy but yes I'm gonna have to rip it apart, the fortune tellers said it's symbolic or something, don't know how that helps but they're the guys who can see the future so I ain't gonna argue"
Keiko was handed a soda by Jimmy who was screaming in the background this whole time while retrieving a spare cooler that Joe brought if anyone got thirsty, she looked at the unfortunate psychic with worry before she took a sip and said "I thought some ancient arthurian prophecy would give you a magic sword to help at least"
Fred took a soda and had a drink himself "Actually it-" he looked over at a still screaming Jimmy worried

"Is he gonna be okay? I know you told me he's always like that but...."
"I feel ya, I'm also getting used to him but if you wanted to help there's not much you could do, just continue" Aldo replied
"Oh right, yeah not really an arthurian thing, just passed down since some guys from rome, turns out I'm the descendant of some kinda hero they sent on a suicide mission to stop the thing that's currently on the highway, "
"Really? You're just related to some warrior guy and you're now gonna have to risk your life, also the romans got here first?" Aldo was busy doing maintenance on his tommy gun
"Ask the soothsayers if you've got complaints"
"Not complaints just confusion, never understood this magic and destiny stuff, even if I got my immortality from it"
"WAIT you're wha-"

"ATTENTION!"

The troops, the Darga operatives, and the chosen trucker looked to Dilliger after he made such a bellow
"Listen up and listen closely, me and Joe here have discussed our plan of attack!"

[] Have some other troops provide distraction with a fake chosen one in a different truck to lure the monsters away from the real convoy

[] Charge in down the highway guns blazing

[] Travel in an erratic and unpredictable pattern towards the centre of the incursion

[] Write-in-a-far-better-idea

(Did some edits after remembering the chariot part of the prophecy, made the ones who spoke of the prophecy native american before to make the location fit, but I realized I already said chariot and they did not have those, so yeah I fucked up)

Trucker-Quest: Part 2
The truck rode through the desert accompanied by armoured vehicles and tanks as figures wearing suits and dresses from the 1950s dashed at it, the features of these entities looked blurry and distorted as if with photoshop, screeching melodies that flayed the flesh from men's souls
A shot from a tank took down a group of 30 in an awesome explosion
30 more latched onto the vehicle and made the iron of the hull peel with their screams, clawing the rest of the way in before getting their claws on the poor men inside

The rest attacked the armoured vehicles, throwing stones at the windows and tires with such strength as to shatter and pop them respectively
They did unto the passengers as they did with the tank operators, only the trucker was left, descendant of their master's sworn enemy, it was saved for last, to make the foe of their boss feel a great and terrible despair in their final moments
They grabbed the truck's door and ripped it off the hinges and saw.....

Another soldier visibly shaking, but determined, holding a detonator, the Men & Women Of Blurryville were smart enough to know they had just been fooled, they probably should've guessed so from the fact they were not weakened in the faker's presence, but it was far too late for them to turn and run, the last words they heard before annihilation by the vast amount of explosives in the back of the truck were
"SEMPER FI!"

Colonel Dilliger watched the explosion from the distance with binoculars, put them down, and gave a salute to the distraction team, before getting on the radio connected to the real convoy riding through the opposite end of the desert, halfway there to their destination
"Distraction convoy is down, how are things on your end? Over"
Average Joe who was sitting shotgun next to Fred began to look out the windows at the rest of the convoy, the armoured vehicles and the tanks, then he listened to 止's rant about car safety (Which Joe couldn't understand cause it's in japanese) as the Darga operators sat in the truck's container
"Pretty okay here, almost to the centre of the incursion, Over" he reported taking a sip of from his thermos full of coffee

But then he got another call on his walkie-talkie "Sir we just spotted 4 Blurry Folk in the distance to our left, they're approaching, I can see one carrying a large egg shaped bright pink object, your orders?"

I think the stasis ability is most useful here for dealing with whatever the egg is, plus Keiko for combat backup.

Trucker-Quest: Part 3
The soldiers drove Keiko and 止 over to the Blurry Folk with the huge egg while the rest of the convoy continued but slowly and carefully, the soldier manning the turret up top was about to fire...

Don't Get Hit Check: 17 v 4 = Success

A rock flew past his head, missing thanks to the universes code recognizing that the companions of the chosen one were nearby and thus luck should be in their favour, which would assist in the next part
Turret Check: 13 v 10 = Success
Bullets tore through one of the Blurry Folk at a high speed, killing it instantly, another was injured, the rest dodged, the injured one quickly picked up its fallen comrades while the soldiers and operatives got out of the car

The remaining Blurry Folk all quickly lifted the pink egg with one hand each, and to the surprise of the people you command, the enemy combatants reached through their own chests, pulled out their hearts which were inexplicably wrapped in barbed wire, and the wire wrapped around the egg, the pink shell stayed in the air despite its holders falling over dead
And the hearts and wire sunk into its surface, becoming one with it, soon 3 black love hearts appeared on the egg and it hatched in a blinding display the soldiers shook themselves out of their confusion too late to fire at it, making Keiko and the accompanying soldiers have to look away to not burn their eyes
止 stared directly at it since they're a robot

Emerging from the light was a humanoid with sections of pink and black armour with a heart motif on its legs and arms, a devilish tail, a horned mask, and large bat-like wings
Upon its chest was a black heart symbol containing a pink heart symbol that contained a black heart symbol

"You face Lord 3 Hearts Of Xarla's 2nd Horde, it was supposed to be 4 hearts but-"
Laser Dodge Check: 7 v 21 = Failure
3-Hearts blasted the head off the turret gunner faster then your men could react
"-that dude shot one of the Blurryville Residents that was supposed to power me up fully, can barely shoot one of your air-vehicles out of the sky in this state, my brothers would mock me for this, now I gotta make do with one of you guys before I report to my maste-"

They were held still by a green light as 止 held up a baton in each of their 4 hands while saying something in japanese about laser safety, 3-Hearts tried to break out but they were distracted by a rain of bullets tearing into their flesh
After the bullets stopped Keiko ran forward and stabbed the demonic being through the chest while screaming in fear cause she used to go to a normal highschool she is not used to murder

At least she looked badass

3-Hearts fell to the ground half-alive and heavily injured "Oh Xarla, it fucking huuurts!" 止 held them still with their stasis beams, one of the soldiers radioed Average Joe
"Boss, we eliminated a couple Blurry dudes and got a.... homewreckingly hot devil dude lying half-dead on the ground after we shot him a lot, your orders sir? Over"

Average Joe answered his walkie-talkie while staring at the centre of the incursion

Many Blurry-Folk were gathered in the middle of the highway, doing unspeakable things to the 17 civilians who were unfortunate enough to be in the area when the tear in reality opened, you saw what was possibly an instrument made of a couple small children, stretched out and cut up to create it
The accursed thing sounded beautiful even from afar, but Joe still wanted to vomit but he stood up and still kept a cloth over Jimmy's mouth to muffle his screams and not give away their position
Aldo was just recording the music on his phone
Fred was shaking with fear cause he had to FIGHT those things

"Uuuuhhhhh-"

[] "Bring him over alive so we can interrogate him, it could probably give us an advantage"
Chance of being discovered before they get back

[] "We'll begin a charge for their leader to fulfill the prophecy, you kill the demon and then catch up with us"
