Valentine's eyes glowed as they ate snacks they place on the table.
"I must say I'm starting to feel bad for Xavier. His life is really taking a drive." Valentine sighed eating popcorn
Vladimir spoke, "Mr. Creed I must admit. Waiting this out with us is a level of patience I haven't reached."
"Thank you, it will come with age." Mr. Creed frowned while looking at the details sent by the Pioneers outside "Aren't you worried this may fail."
Vladimir looked up from his documents and stared at the elderly man intently as though he was trying to figure out something. His eyes returned back to his work reviewing the words as though nothing happened.
"I'm not, Mr. Creed." he answered adjusting his glasses
Valentine tuned out the mental warfare and focused on the battle through a dog's eyes.
Xavier dodged several bullets from Dexter while make ice walls to block them from the fleeing citizen. The walls shot forward and bashed into his friend....well he still considered him his friend. Dexter raised his gun but ice swallowed up the muzzle.
"Surrender." Xavier spoke coldly
Dexter threw himself toward the man who harmed his twin and pulled the trigger even with it jammed. Xavier encased his body in ice and before he could do anything else an explosion pushed him back.
Dexter stood with a handgun in his right hand and smirk on his face. He fired another row of bullets to the safe point. Xavier roared as he stretched out ice vines to pull them down and he trust his spear into Dexter's blink spot.
A sharp pain blind him slightly as he notice a thick needle protruding out of his side. A woman hidden in an alley smiled back.
"Who are you?" Dexter snarled
Th woman smiled," I'm here to recruit you."
Several explosions erupted from parts of the city and villains ran through portals to cause havoc. Xavier poured out his energy into the ground and held every villian in his sight with tight ice shackles.
The woman broke her and Dexter's binding. Xavier's hazing eyes watched as he followed the woman, he tried to send out another spear but he didn't have enough reserves and blood slipped out of his mouth in protest of abusing his body. Even if he did, he simply wanted to capture him because Dexter hadn't done any crime worth death yet but now.....
A cold gaze settled in Xavier's eyes as he looked at the alley Dexter vanished through. Dean was an amazing person and Pioneer, he won't let Dexter tarnish his reputation or the city he loved. He forced his body and made the ice move further to protect as many people as he could. A hawk looked at him from a electricity line with glowing blue eyes.
Vladimir whistled sharply in admiration, "Well....that was something."
"I'm tempted but he's so....justice aligned." Valentine sighed in regret
Vladimir nodded, "You can break him"
"No, it's fine. I understand that there are some people who are just not meant to be our subordinates" Valentine told
The ground rumbled due to the intensity of the explosives the villains used. The east side of the city was covered up in Xavier's ice sadly the although areas weren't so fortunate.
The building swayed right as a giant mushroom blowout from the south, the whole continent was watching the situation with tense expression. Killian was lounged on a hammock looking at other tenants of Elixir Resort, glued to the news outlets watching the attack live with worry.
He quietly slipped away as though heading to his room and glanced eyes with one of his subordinates. Gun fire erupted everywhere, some security cameras looking his way were destroyed and he entered a staircase.
Hidden in a library was a door that revealed an entire secret floor. Killian laughed to himself remembering the hardship of finding the original blueprints of this place but the way they were eating up money for the 'vacation' façade was reaching a height that he couldn't ignore.
He easily found the bottle that Valentine wanted as well as documents of the ownership of the property that Vladimir requested for. He turned around to find a man watching him reclined on a feathery sofa. His hair was white and his pale green eyes were a calming as a spring not to mention the breathtakin--
Killian slapped himself and sighed, "That was a close on."
"Right, almost had you there." the man smiled brightly "Can you give those back to me?"
Killian asked, "Why are the heads acquaintances are so strange."
"We're rushing to an impending doom, personality get twisted during the process." the man sighed
He moved backward on instinct and noticed a large handprint smashed into the ground. Killian looked around and pushed his senses to find the invisible attack while looking at the yawning person.
"My name is Stephan Cloud. May I please have those documents and the bottle is yours." He told
Killian frowned in thought, "Now....this is a predicament."
He felt the threat of death hovering over him while looking at Stephan who seemed willing to wait for his thoughts to organized themselves.
At that time in a forest
A male rabbit shifter was shaking terribly in between two groups of people. He held onto his briefcase as though it contained his life inside and all his prey instinct urged him to hide.
"Be careful it's The Reaper of the Nox Family." the leader of Golden Crown team warned
Quinlan's lifeless eyes stared at them as he tilted his head toward the rabbit shifter. He remember his assignment and mentally ticked of the matching features of the scared creature.
"He's the one." his voice echoed
His subordinates came into view brandishing their respective weapons and releasing thick killing intent. Quinlan held a scythe in his hand and the blade began to glow with an ominous black aura while all the vegetation around them began to rapidly die.
"I don't want to hurt you but the family requires this rabbit." Quinlan said as his black aura applied pressure on the area
The leader frowned, "Unfortunately, he will he coming with us."
The leader's aura was golden-white and Quinlan was surprised since only the heads could suppress him and no many could match him. He felt an unfamiliar urge pump though him....the desire to fight?!
A standstill was formed as Mr. Creed finally began signing several documents to transfer ownership to the Nox family while Elsbeth and another woman were on a boat on the sea beside Starside City. The received the message from Valentine that the Pioneers were signing the papers.
"We need to hurry. Are you sure this is the area?" Elsbeth asked looking down into the sea
The woman frowned, "Only one way to find out, ma'am."
The jumped into the water as Mr. Creed gave the final one to Vladimir with an angry expression.
"You heartless brat." Mr. Creed spat out "I'll make you regret this."
Valentine turned his gaze to Lesia who was still commanding the guild members outside into battle with a moment of admiration.
"I have a feeling that today will be our luckiest day. We're willing to answer a question." Vladimir smiled
Lesia's head snapped up and she stared with a deadly gaze at the smiling brothers.
