"Talon, hold up the front line! Everyone else needs to support her. Luna, find us an exit!"
Aero gave orders to the other members of the Inquisitors, really regretting that she had decided to sneak out with the others tonight.
It had originally been Felicia's idea. Ever since they moved to the island, it was harder and harder to sneak out of the place. Since she couldn't fly, she had to ask the others to help her or steal a jet.
But the 3 fliers were, Melody/Aero, the leader and rule follower, Luna Snow, the fangirl, and Ana/Kraven, the indifferent. Getting any of the trio to help her disobey Jack was almost impossible.
And if she tried to steal the jet, it was obvious that any one of the other members of the team would rat her out in moments.
But when she overheard Jack talking with some of the heroes about some abductions, she knew that this was her chance. She told the other Inquisitors about it but it took some convincing. Only after talking about how they had all gotten their secondary mutations and how much more powerful they had become, did the other girls listen to her. Within an hour, they had stolen one of the jets on the island and were on their way to Rome.
Felicia used the other girls' respect for Jack and wanted to prove themselves useful to her advantage. But what she failed to realize was that the others were truly there to complete the mission.
So as soon as they landed, she was forced to put on her uniform before they began checking out the possible hideout that Felicia had overheard.
Hoping that it was just a rumor, Felicia reluctantly brought them to the location. It was an old factory in the slums of Rome. The group snuck in one of the windows on the highest floor.
Unexpectedly, when they entered the factory, they saw there were dozens of armed guards. Besides, the guards were several machines that none of the girls could recognize what they did.
The group tried to sneak around the building to find out what was going on but after a few minutes and thanks to Felicia not having full control of her powers, they ended up getting caught which caused a massive battle to break out.
And now, we are back to where the chapter begins.
Talon flew into the crowd, cutting apart weapons and limbs of whoever came closest to her. Kraven and Black Cat were right behind her, taking out anyone that Talon had missed. Besides them, Aero and Cylobel were acting as support and crowd control.
The only person on the team that was not focused on the fight was Luna Snow. Her job was to fly around the room and try to find a quick exit for them.
As Luna Snow was exploring, she found several dead guards in a location that they had not been to. Before she could say anything, Luna felt a blade at her throat.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" a feminine voice said from behind
Luna Snow held up both her hands in surrender as she wanted to cry bitter tears.
'Every time! Even in the training simulations, I am always the one that gets captured. And on our first real mission, I end up getting captured again.'
Luna Snow was feeling very vexed but she still decided to tell the woman the truth. Because of the dead bodies of the guards, showed that she wasn't with the people they were investigating. Which meant that she was not their enemy.
"Um... I'm Luna Snow. I'm with the Inquisitors, those other girls over there. One of us overheard from our teacher that he was investigating some missing people and this was one of his leads. To take some pressure off of him, we decided to do this mission for him. He doesn't really know we came but I'm sure he has found out by now. Oh, we are also pretty much like his kids. he loves us all dearly like we are his daughters. He even takes us shopping and wipes our noses when we are sick," Luna kept speaking on and on until she felt the blade dig into her skin slightly, causing Luna to quiet down.
'This girl speaks far too much. But at least he is not with Romulus and is with one of my descendants. That means she isn't my enemy,' the woman holding the blade to Luna's throat thought to herself. When her thoughts got there, she backed away from Luna.
Luna turned around and was stunned by the woman before her.
The woman was very tall and had the physique of a warrior. She was not only tall and powerful but also beautiful, especially with her red hair and crimson eyes. She also had tribal paint over her face that resembled a mask. Luna also noticed the katana in the woman's hands.
"Greetings, child. I am called Remus. I am the ancestor of one of those girls you are with," Remus had a single, bronze claw extend from each of her wrists to show her point. "These men work for my brother who is actually going to arrive soon. I suggest you tell your friends that they need to leave soon."
Just as Remus finished speaking, there was a loud boom. Both women turned around and saw that there was a large hole in the side of the warehouse. Dust filled the room in moments.
When the dust dispersed, Remus and the Inquisitors saw a more rugged and older Sabertooth as well as an emo, biracial teen with a mohawk and tattoos.
'Sabertooth' looked around the warehouse before he noticed Remus and focused his gaze on her.
"Sister. I am glad that you are here. You can die with these young ladies," Romulus sentenced his sister to death without hesitation
