“Oh God, here we go...” muttered Austin, his senses suddenly keener as he got ready to move.

Both men were dressed in jeans and dark hoodies and wore leather gloves. Shades and face-scarves obscured their faces. The one on the left wore a red face scarf, the one on the right a blue one. They were lean, strong and moved with a precision Austin had rarely seen outside of the military—nothing like the fruitcakes that normally invaded the grounds. Perhaps young activists of some sort ... possibly, he thought.

Already they were down from the railing top, having jumped and landed as exactly as any gymnast. Austin looked around for his colleagues and the damned tardy coppers. Ah there, he thought as he saw two carbine-bearing unformed police jogging up to talk to the intruders.

They were shouting, holding out their flat palms, “Stop! Police!”

The men kept on coming as other armed police and guards closed in on them. They seemed unarmed and had no obviously concealed weapons. Other security men took up stand-off positions just in case. They were ten metres from the two would-be arresting officers when they stopped and got out their Tasers. Austin froze and raised his rifle, aiming at the guy on the left, still walking forward as if he was unstoppable. There was something very strange about his gait—so precise, so uniform in speed and motion.

“Stop! Police! I will fire my Taser if you do not stop!”

A red laser spot lit up the chests of both intruders, indicating the aim point of the Tasers. Neither of them stopped and at the same time, both Tasers fired. The two pairs of dart-like electrodes flew through the air striking both suspects in the torso. The intruders didn’t even break step.

Perhaps they’re wearing body armour, thought Austin, as his sense of alarm grew with every step they took. The policemen dropped their Tasers, per procedure, and retreated, instinctively reaching for their weapons. They started back peddling faster, trying to maintain distance. They couldn’t open fire on unarmed intruders and someone would need to tackle and arrest the duo. But who? Austin hoped it wouldn’t be him. These guys looked tough.

“Stop! You are under arrest for trespass—”

The policeman’s voice trailed off as the rightmost intruder—Blue-Scarf—grabbed his weapon by the barrel with lightning speed, pointing the carbine upwards. He wrenched it forward, prizing it from the cop’s hands. Red-Scarf did the same to the shorter policeman. With inhuman strength, both policemen were flung around by the gun strap, releasing them to fall into a heap several metres away. Austin could hardly believe his eyes. But what they’d done had changed the game—they’d just assaulted two police officers which warranted a show of force that would land them in court. He started running towards the intruders—who were now advancing towards the archway to the right of the palace façade. Three other guards were converging on the two—one from the left with Austin and the other two from the front gate guard boxes. Four other guards knelt on one knee taking aim at the seemingly invincible adversaries.
