PAID CRIMES

Case 4: Black Market Raid

It was a starry peaceful night when a large bang was heard.

The crowd rush and panic ran towards opposite direction. Some were hiding behind as they were scared from the coming  armored  squad.

" Ahhhh!" a man cried as he was s***h on the back. Blood flows on the ground.

" Please no! no!"  an old woman raised her hand in front of her but her arm was cut as blood gushed out. She was killed a stab on her chest.

" Ahhh!!!"

" Surrender or you'll die" an ogre said.

" W-We'll surrender" a family uttered.

" Lock them in the cage!" he said and 3 elves followed him.

Every store were smash and burned. Those who will ran were killed. Old people kneeled helplessly as they don't have power to fight the intruders.

" Confiscate them all!" WIC's general ordered as he rode a white Pegasus above them.

Heavily armored ogres , werewolves and elves were formed in battalion confiscating illegal selling  and arrested the sellers.

" Someone might trigger them to move and act like these" a man said as they tried to hide from distance.

" Those who will resist should be killed!" the man in Pegasus order.

"Damn! someone must reported this place. Alyck we should go or will be part of their warrants." Tristan said as we glanced those soldiers who were busy arresting and confiscating everything not far from them.

Angels about were ready shoot their light arrows to those who will resist, sentencing them to death. They wear white dress above the knee tied with gold string on their waist.A bucket of golden arrows were place in their back. A man estimated them to be hundreds.

A man passerby in front of him and scared look at them. He wears an elf clothes. His long pointed ears were spread in every direction.

" Hey , what is happening?" I asked him as he looked scared.

" Someone might reported about black the markets in Frican City. They all raid the other two and now they here. Those men were from WIC's organization. They were silent for pass months but now they move savagely killing those who against and resist without hesitation. They also born the places" he answered.

" Have you heard about black hooded men around here?" Tristan asked as he look at him intently.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell about them. They're everywhere, just in disguise and I don't want to die yet" he replied and ran away. His expression  changed about the question into horrified.

" What should we do now, Alyck? We're busted with the situation. This place will be empty in a matter of hours. We should at least help those innocent" Tristan look me with frowned on his and concerned in his eyes.

" I know, we can't let them take all of them. They'll be using them to be sample on their harsh killing in order for the people to be scared. We can't fight them all but we can sneak to them until they're settled and let the people go. Those who promise to stop doing illegal can go but those who won't, left them."  I answered as glance on an elf who's busy checking a stool.

" Ok then " he answered and left.

Alyck sneaked an attack of one of those elves and take its clothes .She hide her eyes with a green hat while Tristan ran to the location of those prisoners with his vampire speed. Thankfully they were guarded with ogres that can't smell him.

" Hey! what at are you doing there? You should start confiscating those creatures" an elf  with silver hair yelled pointing those pixies in a cage.

"I'm on it " I answered and start to carry a cage of cobras as I cut the lock in pixies' cage letting them escape.

" Thank you!" a pixie uttered as she kiss her cheek and fly away. She winked in response as the pixies wave at her.

They were several cages of scorpions and tarantulas not far away but it was already taken care of those ogres.

Alyck was carrying it when she intentionally fall it making them escaped.

" Oh s**t! I'm so careless. Be careful these were venomous snakes. One bite of it in a second you'll die" I shouted making the other elves alert and tried to focus on killing the snakes.

" Everyone be careful on those snakes!" someone yelled. It was an elf white black long hair.

" Hurry up and gather everything!" the general ordered impatiently.

Those cages were loaded to a big metal carriage. It has closed with metal frames around making it as cage. It was pulled by 3 bulls on the front. The carriage was guarded with 3 elves. Two acts as coachmen while the third help the cages place inside.

" Yes general!" everyone shouted in unison and move fast.

Alyck reached the carriage and knock out the elf silently as she tried to release all those confiscated like desert animals , other pixies along with creatures illegally hunted and even slaves while Tristan bent the cages for those humans and races who wish to live peacefully than being killed by those soldiers.

"Who are you?" a man yelled angrily as Tristan as he saw how he let passed those criminals.He has black undercut hairstyle with black eyes.

" You don't need to know. Come on move everyone run !!" he commanded. The people start to run om the other side of the desert.

" Ogres!! killed them" the man ordered as he pointed Tristan.

"Oh! no you can't "

Tristan faced 4 ogres in front of him. He attacked them with vampire speed and used his sharp claws to snatch two of the ogres' hearts from their bodies.

" You made me sick!" Tristan said as he drinks their blood from their hearts.

Blood drips from his lips and between his fingers while he squeezed the other one. His red eyes glowed with delightfulness as he lick his lips.

The ogres' face turn angry and disgust. They bond to have strong body but soft hearted. Once someone disrespected their comrades they tend to rampage and take whoever around cause it.

" Killed him!" the man ordered as the ogres attack him with their weapons but he just snatch their hearts and squeezed it. Blood on his face and hands made him colder and scarier.

Those ogres' chests were bore with hole as green blood spread on the sand ground. They gain commotion on other elves around them and other ogres came along surrounding them.

"You!"

" What? afraid already?" Tristan asked evilly smiling at him. He noticed other getting ready to attack him.

He ran fast towards him in returned he can smell his scent that he keep ignoring them earlier. He never knew that he will be attracted by a man.

" You're my mate?" the man uttered when he smell the harsh of blood and the mint smell around Tristan.

" Maybe ? I can't believe. I'm having a man with opposite attitude as mate. I was imagining of a wife though" Tristan can't believe that he'll be having a man as mate.

" You have no choice since we can't stop these bond between us. I'm Carter Martin, you are?"

" Tristan but you should stop doing this harsh things. I don't like a boyfriend to be raiding people by burning them to death. They just happen to sell those things since they can't earn well. You should at least listen their stories before you judge" Tristan seriously asked.

" Ok, I'll put it in my mind. Nice to meet you mate?" Carter offers his hand to Tristan.

" Nice to meet you as well, mate" he replied as accept it and both each other look each other while smiling.

" Let's kill these shits or they'll spread everything out." Tristan added and change into Lycan.

" I know " Carter replied and turn to gray wolf.

They rush towards the group. Killing and fighting explode fast on their area. Blood spread fast as those two get stronger as their joined synchronize.

They gain bruises and wounds but they mind it.

Every ogre falls one by one as Tristan their hearts. Carter faced the elves clawing them one by one.

On the other hand, the general noticed Alyck's oddness and order everyone to stop.

" You elf! what's your name?" The general asked her as he stare at her intently. Everyone around her focus on her.

" Alyck , sir" I answered as I gazed him back.

The general went down and eyed her suspiciously.

" I haven't seen you around. Are you new?"

" No sir, I was only the lowest rank that's why I can't be easily notice."

" Really? Impostor!" he said and draw his sword to me. He s***h my hat showing my ears.

This general has really keen eyes or maybe I'm not good actor. Now, I'm busted.

" So you're going on me?" I sarcastically asked not afraid of him.

The army around them position and surround Alyck and general like a barrier.

" Who are you?" he questioned back in with stern voice. Everyone around Alyck was glaring at her and ready to attack.

"I've already said that, did I? God Mode!" I enchanted as I can sense every killing intent around. I can let my guard down.

" God Magic? Are you from Goddess royal clan?" he asked as he raised his eyebrow and hold his sword tight sideward. His eyes were telling to go on if you can.

" No, God Lance! If you want to fight then I'll give it to you" I seriously said and pointed my lance at him.

" Bastard we'll kill you!" ogres said as they grip their weapons.

" Halt! I'll be his opponent. Fairy God Mode. Go on continue what I order." the general uttered with domineering voice. He's brunette hair and green eyes fits his cynical good looking face. His green wings sprout on his back as his body was covered with light green light. The dried ground starts to sprout some grasses and flowers.

Alyck attack with her lance but it was block by general's sword.

" What's your intention? Who the heck ordered you to kill those sellers and burn their livelihood. You can just arrest them properly or settled them with new works." I squinted my eyes at him. I launch a kick but block by his arm.

He read every moves Alyck released making it hard to hit.

" How interesting to know there still God member around here. I know someone who always talks about a God Magic user's heroic deeds. If I'm not mistaken it is you , am I right ?Those criminals deserve to die for working illegally. They can choose to work on decent one but they choose to do it. In these world, crimes must paid with life" he replied with sly smirk and counter my attacks with fast s***h gaining momentum.

He kicked me in the side making Alyck thrown on those empty stools making it breaks into halves.

" Agh!"

" Those people never brought peace around and if they continue to live they'll cause more troubles so before that to happen I must seize them"

" Then be it!" I said and attack him with God speed using my lance.

" Fairy trees!" he enchanted and trees grow fast in front of Alyck making her stop and s***h it. It was thick but she made it.

" Fairy 10 thousands arrows" the general casted as he flew up.

" God 10 Thousand lightning  volts!" Alyck casted to countered the magic.

Alyck tried to hit every showering arrows towards her. She can't focus her battle against the general as she felt some ogres want to kill her out of their grudges.

"Not bad, kid. Fairy cage!" trapping Alyck on a big circular green cage. It has small circles on it that serves as windows.  She sliced it with her lance but it didn't barge.

"Damn it! this is higher level cage. God beam!" I tried to hit him but the cage deflects it back. She keeps slashing it but it  didn't work.

" Fairy moon dust!" A  shining colorful dusts fall from the sky like snow and hit Alyck's face.

" What?" I cringed my brows as I remember the dust used by Anastacia. s**t!

Alyck vision start to blurred and her God's mode turned to normal. She felt weak as she wanted to sleep.

The general flew near Alyck's cage and smiled.

" Who are you?" I uttered trying to fight the urge to sleep. I'm getting weak. I want to be strong. I want to be but my eyes start loss its power to fight.

" I'm Gen. Carlos Larke, sleep well Alyck" he said as I close my eyes.

Alyck was captured by General Carlos as he closed the cage and let her magic lift in the air easily.

" I'll bring him away. You can continue everything around here and go back to the based after you're all done. Burn the whole place and don't let anyone escaped" he ordered as rode his Pegasus again and the army moved fast as angels help them as well.

The general takes Alyck away. Tristan and Carter went back to where Alyck was but to his dismay a burning market was shown in front his eyes.

" Alyck!!" he shouted.

" Who's Alyck?"Carter asked.

Tristan never want anyone knows about Alyck's identity even if it was his mate.

" He's my buddy. I need to find him" He replied and tried rush on the fire.

" Tristan, let's go. Everything was burn here. No one can escape from the army and the general's hand. He might be dead" Carter said as he hold his arm not wanting him to let go.

" No! He's not dead. Where do you bring those captives? Answer me!" he angrily pulled Carter.

"I can help you to go there but we can't guarantee we'll be able to see him there?" He sadly replied feeling in pain on how his mate cared his friend.

"Where is it?" his tone was impatient.

" In the North of Mahil City,  there is a tallest mountain surrounded with eyes. A based was located inside of it. Those captives might be taken there" he uttered as his eyelids hid his eyes .

" Then let's go to Mahil City!" Tristan said in determination.
