Soccer Damsel: Europe

A nifty tale of heroics in Valencia about a media-damsel, a fabled diamond showcase, and an evil underground pirate-clan called Red Mask.

Actually, I'll blend sports-fanfare with fantasy-adventure to sign off with, a cool vignette inspired loosely by the awesome film Cobra. Enjoy (and thanks for reading!),

Europe was the place where two Interpol-relations blood-diamond infiltrations-operationalists (Amlan Satan and Marcus Raki) were stationed to ensure the protection of a threatened fashion-model preparing for a special Valencia soccer-club magazine-theater showcase, ensuring the normal traffic for consumerism on the fabled continent!

The fashion model, Isa, was preparing for a special fanzine featurette about Valencia fans in Spain (club-soccer) showcasing the modern links between media, sports-markets, and fan-spirit(s). Isa was suddenly threatened by an underground 'ax-club' in Spain called the Red Mask ('RM') which wanted to destroy the spirit of media/sports in this World Cup year.

ISA: I just want to 'immerse' myself in the Euro-world of soccer-club fanfare/marketing/media and avoid the Red Mask!

The ax-club known as Red Mask ('RM') was rumored to be involved in a car-theft operation, replacing engines and systems and chasses with cop-car parts and using all kinds of Euro-anarchy to spread their message of crime, all the while coordinating blood-diamond piracy-traffic stemming from Sierra Leone (Africa).

RED MASK: We just want that 'Valencia-diamond' to be showcased at a Champions League game in Spain this summer, friends.

The Valencia police hired a special beautiful Spanish police-detective named Nisa who'd try to ensure the safety/security of the soccer-club magazine-world model (Isa) while tracking down the Red Mask ('RM') tracks leading to the fabled Valencia-diamond and the stalking/threats to the model's life!

NISA (Detective): We've found two special Interpol-relations 'agents' (Amlan/Marcus) who can track Red Mask and help Isa.

AMLAN (Agent): We think this Red Mask 'clan' will steal the Valencia-diamond during the night when Isa's to be kidnapped.
MARCUS (Agent): We'll divide-and-conquer; I'll steal the diamond before the Red Mask, while Amlan hides Isa in a warehouse.

Now, Valencia's a 'fabled' Euro-city, which is why its iconic club-soccer team, part of La Liga, is considered to be market-rich. In fact, Valencia has boasted legendary soccer-stars (Kempes, Aimar, Villa) in its past and requires a new kind of 'heroics' which is why Spanish police-detective (Nisa) believes she's found the right 'strikers' (Amlan/Marcus) to return sanity/order in troubled Valencia (Spain).

During the game when the Valencia-diamond was to be showcased, Marcus Raki lifts the diamond from the investor-fanbox room in the stadium and swaps it for a fake for the Red Mask ('RM') infiltrators (costumed as security-officers!) to take instead of the real article, while Amlan Satan takes Isa to a nearby warehouse and has an 'inside-man' police officer 'tip-off' Red Mask ('RM') goons, telling them, "We believe these Interpol-relations 'recruits' want you to find them (and Isa) during/after this diamond-pirate operation and challenge them 'openly' in the media to 'complement' the Valencia Champions League showcase-game!" Meanwhile, Valencia manages to defeat rivals Inter-Milan (Italy-club) in the showcase-game with swift defense and a 4-4-2 winger-striker offense maneuver designed to create dazzling in-game scoring boasts.

RED MASK: We were 'framed' for this diamond-doubling and Isa-hideout stunt which drew out media about model-vanishings.

ISA: You two gentlemen are my heroes of Valencia, man.

AMLAN: We're just thrilled you're safe, fair-lady, as is the Valencia-diamond.

MARCUS: Yeah, and Valencia won the Champions League showcase too!

ISA: We've all earned this awesome-50 Spanish gourmet-buffet seafood meal in Valencia!

Thus ends what would've/could've been a tale of two tragedies (diamond/damsel) in iconic Valencia (Spain), all thanks to the recruiting shrewdness of Spanish police-detective (Nisa) and the diligent work of the two Interpol-relations super-agents (Amlan/Marcus), who've ensured that modern sports-markets (Euro-soccer) won't be 'drowned' by the forces of unchecked anarchy...and evil.
