A violent protest saved by superhuman beings

When the video begins playing, there is a cacophony of noise, which I determine is someone calling out with a loudspeaker. The video itself is someone capturing video with their phone and looking down from an open window. The scene is revealed to be a confrontation between a group of protestors and a line of riot police, backed up by two armored vehicles, where one person is visible shouting orders from the top hatch.

The person with the camera spots a couple people with **** rifles, their hands particularly on the grenade launchers underneath the barrel of their guns. Before we know it, the two gunman unleash volleys of what appears to be tear gas, but before the canister can land in the crowd of protestors, they explode some feet in front of them.

The camera holder focuses on the cloud of tear gas and spot a trio of men, dressed in outfits similar to M’Hanze’s, with their hands outstretched towards the dissipating cloud of gas, appearing to have shielded the crowd from its effects. One of the men waves the protestors to leave and the crowd disperses, leaving the trio with the riot police.

The person shouting in the loudspeaker commands the trio to stand down and get on the ground, but the trio disobey the order. A gesture from the caller allows the two men with rifles to shoot another volley of gas at the trio. Instead of exploding in midair like last time, the men in African garb seem to stop the canisters in midair, preventing them from exploding. They then lob the canister back into the rows of riot police, causing the men to stir in disarray.

As a reaction, the men with rifles start shooting at the trio of men and like a group of Neo-like beings from the Matrix, stop the bullets in midair and allow them to fall to the floor. There is another subtle boom from a grenade launcher and in the chaos, a deafening explosion erupts where the trio of men were standing. As the police retreat, there is a silence waiting for the dust to settle. The camera holder doesn’t look away and soon spots three pillars appearing unscathed from the blast. In fact, the trio of men are no longer sporting African garb, but appear to be wearing a futuristic set of armor. When they start their approach, bullets start firing from all sides, but what seems like a **** field takes away the energy from the bullets themselves as they collide with the shield. When the trio gets close to the rows of police, they all unleash the stored energy, causing the riot police with shields and batons to collapse backward as an almost unseen wave of energy causes them to fall back. The video abruptly ends, and Lucas takes the tablet away.

“You mean to tell me those were your people?” I ask.

“Have you heard of Wakanda?” M’Hanze asks in return.

“Only in movies. Black Panther, specifically,” I tell him.

“Well, it’s not fiction anymore. Wakanda is real and our technology is superior to the weapons mankind has today,” he says. “Soon, your governments will fall and the BNWO will rise to fill in the gap.”

“So, you take over the world. Become humanity’s hope for the future, ensuring generations live on through your genetics. What does that have to do with me?”
