Wetzlar, Eiffelland
The City Council had forbidden the demonstration, but that decision had been successfully challenged in court. Today the Gotisch-Eiffelländische Liga gathered together in the outskirts of Wetzlar for the largest demonstration of extremist rightwingers in the history of Eiffelland. About 5000 people came traveling from all over the country to demonstrate for their cause. The demonstration would take place on a field outside the city, but the mayor didn’t want to take any risks. A large number of police officers patrolled the city and the field where the demonstration would take place.
But something else was happening as well. Something else the police did not know about. Hordes of extremist leftwingers were traveling to Wetzlar as well. Their cause: Disturbing the GEL-demonstration in an impressive way. Fights between extremist leftwing and extremist rightwing groups often occurred in Eiffelland. They were mostly limited to attacks to each other’s meeting places, but sometimes each other’s demonstrations were disturbed as well. This time several extremist leftwing groups joined their forces to come up heavily against the GEL.
Bastian Holzbrenner was one of them. 18 years old since a couple of weeks, 6th class of the Königliches Gymnasium in Trier, and full of ideals. Leftwing ideals. Although he didn’t believe in a planned economy, he called himself a Socialist. More important to him was the environment. He was a vegetarian, tried to live as ecologically as possible, and took part in actions against pollution and transports of nuclear waste.
But most important to Bastian were minority, women and gay rights. He could not stand it that somebody was discriminated, and he always fought against discrimination. Luckily, discrimination did not often occur in Eiffelland, so Bastian’s battle was a light one, although he was sometimes grabbed by the throat when he jumped in. Or worse.
Rightwing extremism stood for everything Bastian hated. He was in Wetzlar because of that. But also because of something else. With the resignation of King Heinrich and the accession to the Throne by King Albrecht, much had changed. Laws the Eiffellandians were already following finally got the Royal Signature, and laws were added to them. Laws Bastian wanted to defend, when needed with his life, because they stood for everything he stood for, and because they were applicable to him. And to lots of his friends. Friends who were beaten up by extremist rightwingers a couple of months ago. Also for revenge he was in Wetzlar.
The GEL-demonstration was at its height when suddenly large groups of extremist leftwingers attacked the terrain from each and every corner. The police were not prepared for an attack of this size. Within a minute, the whole terrain was one heap of fighting people where it was impossible to see from the outside who belonged to which camp. The police could do nothing but ask for re-inforcements. They would arrive soon.
Bastian was far from musculous, but with the help of some of his friends, he managed to fight his way through a group of skinheads. They always jumped with three or four people on one skinhead, worked him to the ground and gave him a couple of kicks with their boots. Most of the times, that was enough to get someone out of the fight. This tactic worked out well, but could only work out well because of the size of the attack as a whole. Bastian and his friends didn’t think about that. They just fought and enjoyed the winning mood.
Staatsschutz re-inforcements were arriving when Bastian saw a guy who was petrified with fear. Unlike most other GEL-people who had shaven their heads bald, he had a fashionable haircut. He continuously looked around him and he seemed not to understand what was happening around him.
“Hey, do you see that guy over there? He’s completely baffled,” he asked one of his friends.
“Well, if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. It’s his fault that he’s here. He’ll probably stay away from events like this one from now on,” one of his friends said.
“That’s too harsh, let’s get him out of here,” Bastian said.
“Are we suddenly becoming a rescue squad for scared rightwingers?” someone else asked.
“If we approach him with the 12 of us, he might start doing strange things out of panic. I’ll do it on my own. You take those skinheads over there, because I think they want to drag him into the fight,” Bastian said.
While his friends attacked the skinheads, Bastian ran to the guy and said with a caring tone in his voice: “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine, I’ll get you out of here.”

“OK, how come that we didn’t know that this would happen?!” Staatshauptdirektor des Staatssschutzes Heinz-Karl Farnbach asked loudly. It was difficult to get him mad, but now he was furious. “How come that we didn’t know that all extremist leftwing groups we have in this country would form a joint-venture to attack that demonstration?! How could a large action like this escape your attention?! Now they ‘just’ attacked a demonstration, but if they suddenly decide to combine their forces to attack the animal lab of the Charité or the Robert Koch Universität, or the family house of the Rathenaus, or Schloss Bellevue, or even worse Schloss Charlottenburg, you won’t notice either!!”
“We don’t know ourselves, Herr Staatshauptdirektor. We haven’t had contact with our spies in those organisations for about 2 weeks. We tried to contact them, but failed. We don’t know why. There is a chance that they were uncovered. And an action like we saw this afternoon can be setup in days. Of course we have other agents, but they are not high enough in the organisations yet. So indeed, at this moment we are tapping in the dark with respect to these organisations,” Jochen Plöger, head of the department for radical leftwing groups said.
“You’re tapping in the dark, and I don’t know. So now people who desire to topple the government can do what they want without being surveyed. How nice,” Farnbach said.
“Not completely. At the last contact we had with them, it did not appear that those groups were plotting to topple the government. And suppose if they would want to, they can’t by far mobilise enough people to do so. And for the safety of various instances, we already informed all possible targets of these groups, so they took their measures. Meanwhile, we are trying very hard to find our contacts in those groups. And I also have to say that the radical leftwing groups in Eiffelland are too weak to be dangerous. They have hardly enough manpower to occasionally liberate some laboratory animals,” Plöger said.
“But they have apparently enough manpower to disturb a large rightwing demonstration,” Farnbach said.
“You will find more people prepared for that than people prepared for attacks on laboratories or people. The days of the Rote Befreiiungsarmee are definitely gone. Furthermore, they were not preparing something like that,” Plöger said.
At that moment, an aide came in with Plöger’s handy. “Please excuse me gentlemen,” she said, “they said it was urgent.”
Plöger took the telephone.
“Plöger.”
“....”
“Good evening. What happened?”
“....”
“Oh, Scheisse. Where was he found?”
“....”
“Poor lad. Would he have been able to tell anything?”
“....”
“OK. Any more details?”
“....”
“OK. Thank you. Goodbye.”
“....”
Plöger broke the connection and gave the handy to the aide. After she left, he took the floor.
“Our agent in the Radikalsozialistische Aktionsfront has been found. With a neckshot. And signs of torture,” Plöger said. Of course the people in the room were shocked.
A neckshot was the traditional way of executing people for Eiffelland’s radical leftwing groups. This in contrast with the radical rightwing groups, which executed their victims by beating and kicking them to death. Torturing was also done differently by the radical groups: The radical leftwingers put electricity on the victim’s genitals and nipples, and the radical rightwingers tortured the same way as they executed.
“Poor man. We will have to inform the family. Could he have told anything?” Farnbach asked.
“I don’t know. There is always a chance that he knew other infiltrants, but let’s hope he did not,” Plöger said.
OOC: This is the start of an RP I already had in my mind. I more or less said in the thread about the red summer that radical leftwingers and radical rightwingers sometimes attacked each other. I mentioned it in my newsthread once. That was about a demonstration of rightwingers disturbed by leftwingers that ICly took place on 27 November 2010. The next post will make a 2 month jump, but still takes place in the past. If you want to ICly come in, please wait until the story is in the present. And please take into account that I will have an extremely busy work schedule in April and May, being forced to work 110% or more.
