BLOODY BATTLE IN LONDON CLAIMS LIVES

Leon Bastile/ The Messiah

Leon Bastile, the owner and C.E.O. of Messiah Corp, was seen in action on the streets of London today when he and other wanted men and Women including the now deceased Richard Aberline's Cabinet fought a running battle with members of La Resistance and ex MI13 agent Blade.

The busy streets of Central London were torn open when La Resistance member Legionnaire attacked a convoy of limousines, shocked Londoners watched as Leon Bastile, The Cabinet and Bastile's own hit squad exited the cars and tried to make a break for Black Friars underground station.

The battle lasted for several minutes as The Legionnaire  Le Haine, Deja Vou, Eurovision, Daniel The Dog, and Blade were backed by other heroes including some suggestions that the Crusader Sinner also turned up as the conflict intensified. The Cabinet, including Warwick; The Kingmaker and Hauge, fought the French team and left the scene with all members of the opposition down and most needing medical attention. Leon Bastile and his hit squad ran for Black Friars and fought a brutal conflict inside the tube station leaving over twenty by standers needing serious medical attention.

Le Haine

Eye witnesses say they watched Blade and Le Haine fight alone on the platform but were outnumbered, out powered and finally driven to the floor where The Messiah Corp owner seemed to use a power upon Blade that made him turn to dust. Le Haine is reported to have been tossed unconscious to the ground and then attacked by Wildchild, who killed the French Hero on the spot and painted a number two on the wall above his corpse.

The Messiah Corp renegades then made their escape down the tunnels just before Sinner arrived on the scene.

Official reports have confirmed the deaths of both Blade and Le Haine and also that of the Legionnaire who was beaten to death by Warwick in front of terrified onlookers on the streets above.

Lord Ferguson

'We are aware that this incident was both traumatic and violent and that heroes fell before a brutal enemy today,' said Lord Ferguson outside of the Hospital where the rest of La Resistance were taken.

'I can assure you we are doing everything in our power to get this false 'Messiah' in custody and I offer my condolences to the people of France on this day of great loss for them.'
