The White Rose base was an incredibly large structure, with the center of the building looking more like a giant castle with its tall, leaning spires. Around the building itself, there were also several departments that worked together.
Different buildings housed different teams organizing a number of different things. For one, the White Rose accepted many donations to continue doing their work. They also connected with other organizations based in other countries.
At times, situations could become dire in other countries, and support teams would need to be sent to help out. Not only that, but the White Rose base city was a place where government officials would gather.
Those that needed protection from others that ran their cities. An image was kept up; the government was there for the people. Their decisions and laws were there to protect the people.
The centralized government was protected by the White Rose, who upheld the law for the people when things got tough. However, everyone knew on a smaller scale, it was the gangs that ran the cities.
The large tier 1 cities and further down. The government was powerless to do much against them, apart from creating a stalemate by having the White Rose organization to stop chaos and all-out war taking place.
In turn, high officials that made such decisions needed to be kept safe, otherwise, the Kings would have even more power than they did. Which was why the strongest members were kept in Centerfield, the city where the White Rose resided.
The big base was almost like a theme park, with its paved walkways, planted trees, grand gardens, and more. The White Rose members enjoyed coming back to the base as they went from one building to another.
It was a busy complex, and as some members were walking in their white and gold uniforms from one building to the other, they noticed something.
Running out from the court building, the door had broken off and a group of people in white bloody clothes had come out.
“Is that the prisoners!” One of the agents shouted. “They're coming out from the courtroom!”
The prisoners could be seen swarming out; they weren’t running in one direction because the place was so large that they had no clue which was the closest place to the exit. Some would even try their luck in scaling the walls if they were to come across one.
Many of the White Rose members had spotted what had occurred and started to transform. As they did, they bolted across the floor in their forms and attacked the prisoners, pinning them down to the ground.
At the same time, though, the prisoners, seeing their chance at victory, were transforming as well. One, growing into a large muscular grey-skinned Altered with a horn, charged forward and rammed right past two of the White Rose agents.
The prisoner crashed into them, pushing them down to the side and onto the floor.
“Zip Zap!” one of the White Rose agents shouted while on the floor. “You have to hurry and inform the higher-ups, one of the Chiefs, or the Constables. This is mayhem, the prisoners have escaped!”
Zip Zap, a White Rose agent, had transformed his legs and he was on the run. For the first time ever, prisoners had broken out of the prison and many were wondering how this was possible with the Warden being present.
However, escaping wasn’t going to be easy. As one of the prisoners reached the wall, a large web shot out, catching and hitting the Altered. It wasn’t a man-made net, but felt like an organic one from an Altered’s powers.
The man in general was large in size with a huge potbelly and a cigar in his mouth. He had his hand held out pointed toward the prisoners. This man was Chief Opptus.
“Prisoners are escaping, who took out Lia!” Opptus asked. “Get the squad captains out to deal with the lower agents. I have a feeling that there is a big fry we need to catch. Lia wouldn’t have let anyone out, so it’s best we assume she’s dead.”

The three were running up the stairs; the fact that Gary had just learned a new fact about his ally didn’t make a difference right now; they were working together to get out of here.
What would happen after between the two of them, would have to be sorted then, and if anything he might learn more about himself through them.
Although Blackjack’s plan didn’t work out as intended, with the help of both of them, and Ice, Gary was able to come out with a win that might not have been possible without the two of them.
Reaching the top of the stairs, they were now in the back room of the courthouse. Gary remembered being dragged through the place when he was waiting for his trial. They continued to move and there was no need to burst through doors because several of them were already broken.
When rushing in, they were now in the trial room. Gary could see the stand, the seats, and more. This was the place where he was convicted with ‘Evidence’ that the other side had brought.
‘How long...how long was I away from Slough for, what is happening right now, I have to find out.’
Gary rushed through, going ahead, not looking around him and that’s when he heard something.
“Gary!” A voice shouted out.
Looking to his right in the room, he could see someone in the White Rose uniform.
“Elijah… what are you doing here?”
Standing next to Elijah, he wasn’t on his own though, an orange-haired middle-aged gentleman was dragging one of the prisoners, and two more White Rose agents could be seen. All three of them were people that they recognized.
“We… came to break you out of this place,” Elijah answered.
