After years of doing work no one would ever see or hear about, SMKE retired. This was Merletta's old team. The world no longer needed heroes from the shadows. She thought she could keep a normal life after everything she did but nothing could prepare her for what was coming.
A message flash along her scroll. It was from an old contact within a joint organization from all the kingdoms. An organization that had long since been disbanded. What the message read shocked her. An old project had been restarted by someone within the kingdoms and it could bring an end to Remnant.
She knew what she needed to do. If she could not get access to her old team, then she would need to get some of the best and brightest from all the schools.
She sent a message to all students and teachers. "To all who read this, your skills are requested. If you respond to this message, be warned, you may not return. Make sure you're assets are in the right hands. You will not meet in the public but rather in a safe house formerly owned by Team SMKE. Please respond with, I'm in. If you received this message by mistake, do not respond. If you feel like you can not risk losing everything, do not respond. Only respond if you have nothing to lose. SWORD requests your response."
This is just the small proof of concept. The story gets much more international man of mystery and Mission Impossible then it sounds. If you want in, Link the character you want. If you cant decide, leave the ones you want and I'll pick one.
