Chapter 63 - Chapter 63 The war begins

"How is this possible?!" a senior officer shouted in disbelief. "The Anti-Terror Task Force is our most elite special operations unit, and they were completely wiped out...?"

The higher-ups were in shock — the once formidable Anti-Terror Task Force had proven utterly powerless against Wesker. They realized that if even their strongest unit couldn't stop him, then ordinary officers would stand no chance.

This new threat brought immense pressure to the city's leadership. Night City's security was facing an unprecedented crisis. The presence of Wesker and Electro meant that no safety measures could be fully trusted anymore.

"We must find a way to eliminate them!" another executive slammed the table angrily. "Otherwise, Night City will descend into chaos and fear!"

The city's leadership immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss strategies against these unpredictable enemies. They decided to deploy more special forces and police units, strengthen patrols and surveillance across the city, and track any signs of their movements at all costs.

Meanwhile, the police department issued a public emergency alert, urging citizens to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately. The NCPD promised to do everything possible to ensure civilian safety and maintain public order.

However—

In the middle of the high-level emergency meeting, an intelligence officer from the National Police Bureau burst into the room.

"Urgent report! The man who emits electricity — the one who destroyed the terrorist squad — has appeared at Corporate Plaza! He's wreaking havoc!"

The executives' faces turned grim. They hadn't expected Wesker's companion, Electro, to launch such an open assault on the city, posing an enormous threat to Night City itself.

"Deploy the Special Forces to Corporate Plaza immediately! Neutralize both targets at once!" one executive commanded sharply.

Another shouted, "Form an Anti-Threat Unit! We need an elite special operations team specifically designed to take on these enemies!"

The leadership quickly began selecting candidates to form and command the Anti-Threat Unit. They needed someone with the strength, composure, and leadership to face this crisis head-on.

Among the many skilled officers, one name stood out — Katherine, a veteran SWAT officer from the Capital Police Department. She had an outstanding record and had previously served in an anti-terror mobile task unit. Moreover, Katherine possessed a special cybernetic enhancement that gave her superhuman strength and combat capability.

Her prosthetic system, codenamed "War Wolf," was a next-generation all-purpose military augmentation — combining reinforced muscle fibers, enhanced coordination, advanced sensory perception, and optical stealth capabilities. This made Katherine not only an exceptional fighter but also a near-perfect soldier, capable of evading enemy attacks and striking with deadly precision.

Katherine entered the meeting room, her gaze sweeping over the group of senior officials.

One executive asked, "Katherine, are you willing to lead the Anti-Threat Unit?"

"Yes, sir. I'm ready," Katherine replied firmly, her heart burning with determination to protect Night City and its people.

The executives nodded in approval and formally appointed her as commander of the Anti-Threat Unit. Immediately, deployment plans began.

"You will lead a team of the finest operatives in Night City PD. Your mission is to eliminate every hostile currently attacking Corporate Plaza. It's an extremely dangerous task—but the safety of Night City depends on it," said the chief supervisor.

Katherine nodded resolutely. "Understood. I'll complete the mission."

In the tense atmosphere, the Anti-Threat Unit was quickly assembled. Each member was handpicked — elite specialists with exceptional combat skills and high-grade cybernetic augmentations.

Katherine gathered them in the operations hall. Wearing her black tactical suit, she stood tall, eyes sharp as she addressed them.

"Introduce yourselves."

The first to step forward was a tall, muscular man. "Name's Jack. I've got a Lightning Impactor implanted — an Arc Blaster. I can discharge high-voltage electric blasts from my hands, good for both ranged and melee combat."

Next, a slim woman stood up. "I'm Alice. I'm equipped with the Phantom Step optical cloaking module. It lets me become nearly invisible during combat and use mirage decoys to confuse the enemy. I specialize in close-quarters combat with shadow blades."

Then a heavily built man stepped up confidently. "Name's Max. My augment is Steel Wall — a reinforced metal shield system that boosts my defense and protects my teammates. I also carry a high-energy plasma blade for heavy melee strikes."

Following him, a graceful woman introduced herself: "I'm Emily. My body's fitted with a Telepathic Resonance device. I can sense enemy intentions and mental waves. I also use an energy longbow for precision long-range attacks."

Next came a man covered in mechanical components. "I'm Adam," he said calmly. "I'm implanted with the Iron Hunter enhancement chip. It boosts my strength and speed, turning me into a relentless fighter. I wield a dual-blade energy weapon — effective in both close and mid-range combat."

The last to speak was a slender woman with a confident tone. "I'm Lilith. I have the Wing Dancer flight module. I can fly during combat and wield dual energy wing blades for aerial assaults."

Katherine finally spoke, "My name is Katherine. My body is War Wolf."

She looked around at her team. "Excellent. You're all top-tier operatives with military-grade augmentations. I believe together, we can overcome any enemy. Remember — we fight as one. Only through unity will we achieve victory."

The team nodded firmly, their morale high, ready to face the coming storm.

"Good," Katherine said with a faint smile. "But before we head to the battlefield… there's somewhere we need to go first."

Dawn over Corporate Plaza.

Electro hovered high above the plaza, his body crackling with blinding arcs of electricity. He spread his hands wide, drawing in the surrounding energy like a massive magnetic field, then raised them — unleashing a torrent of raw power. Bolts of lightning tore through the sky, striking the buildings below. Explosions thundered across the plaza, flames erupted, and chaos consumed the streets.

Panicked citizens fled in terror. Screams echoed as blinding flashes illuminated the ruins. The air itself seemed electrified — thick with heat and ozone. Under Electro's rampage, there was nowhere to hide.

Cold and merciless, Electro's goal was clear — to bring destruction to Night City. He unleashed one devastating surge after another, obliterating building after building until the plaza became a blazing inferno.

People looked on in horror at the ruthless figure above them. In his presence, they felt utterly powerless. His energy was beyond comprehension — an overwhelming force that no ordinary human could ever hope to resist.

"What… what is that thing!?"
