It's winter when they dragged the body into the frozen woods. They set the body on the snow and brought out a can of gasoline. Opening the can of gas, they pour its contents into the body.
"Thatch, can you do the honor of burning this corpse?" Thatch smiled as he brought out a silver lighter and started to click it. With two clicks, the lighter created a small fire. Thatch threw it into the corpse filled with gasoline and immediately it burn.
The fire soon disappear, leaving ashes on the ground. Marco grabbed a shovel of snow and cover the ash. He wiped his sweat dripping from his brow and sighed. Both man turned their backs and headed towards their car, parked on the side of the highway.

"Hey Pops!" Whitebeard looked up and look at his sons entering his room. Thatch is smiling while Marco is dragging a big sake behind him. Whitebeard grinned and sat on his chair. Adjusting his reading glasses, he patted his lap. The two leap and settled on both legs of the giant.
"My sons, how did it go and is that my sake?" Thatch laughed as he shook his head.
"We successfully tracked down the foe in the West Coast. Found out that it was a beta vampire." Whitebeard nodded and grabbed the sake in Marco's hand. Marco gave it to the old man. Besides, the giant will not stopped taking the sake from him if he didn't handed it over.
"A beta vampire? Then you also hunt down an alpha?" Marco shook his head. Whitebeard raised his eyebrow. It's impossible for a vampire to be alone especially if it is a beta vampire. Beta vampires are the acting queens which means they are mated to the Alpha Vampires. Alpha vampires are the Kings, but only few of them are still around.
"That's the case yoi. Betas are queens. They cannot go to a place without their Alphas." Marco ran his hair with the tipped of his fingers as he sighed.
"We first thought that the alpha died. But the beta should have died too." Thatch nodded at his brother and looked at Whitebeard. "But that's not all… we found something more disturbing." He returned his eyes to Marco who nodded and continued the report.
"During interrogation, we found out that her alpha was captured by a light. Then she started to coughed blood. Before she died, she said this: "They are coming. The warriors are here to destroy the abominations." Marco shook his head once more and sighed. "We didn't killed her. Someone killed her mate. And I'm sure that the light that she is saying is responsible for it."
*
"Any luck?" Marco nodded his head. After their talked with Whitebeard, he went into the library to research on the 'light'. Two hours had passed and he found things that might help them.
"I don't understand it yoi. There are a lot of possibilities about this light. Mages, witches, warlocks, wizards, commonly I say demons." Thatch sighed and gently put the mug on his brother's hands.
"Take a rest brother. I let the others research on it. By the way, we need you later on. For now rest coz to be honest, you are starting to get old." Marco rolled his eyes as his brother turned his back on him.

"Thatch, I'm here yoi. What's with the call?" Marco got into the meeting room and all of his brothers are there fuzzing like bees.
"Well… I guess we're not the only once that encountered strange." Marco looked around and went in front of the room. The others who saw him started to hushed one another.
"State your division's report one by one. Jozu?" The man nodded and scanned his papers.
"Well, we tracked down an alpha vampire who lost his mind. We don't know why until he started to coughed some blood and died." Thatch's eyes widened. Why does it feels like their reports are all connected to each other. If it is, what is happening around them must be huge.
"Thank you, Jozu. Vista?" The mustache man scratched his head.
"We tracked down an insane witch saying "They are coming. The warriors are coming. Beware." After that she died. Same death as the report of Jozu. Marco took down the report on his paper.
The meeting continued and all of them are the same. Werewolves becoming insane and dying after coughing blood. Witches and warlocks saying something about the warriors. All of supernatural beings that they report are the same as theirs. But one report made Marco and Thatch ears perked up.
"I guess we all have the same report. But we encountered a demon. This demon is also insane but he said this: "The warriors will come down along with the light of the sun and destroy the abominations of the earth." The room was once again filled with fear and worries.
"Silence brothers!" Thatch shouted and they did. Marco ran his hair with the tip of his fingers.
"Warriors. Light. Insanity. We all have the same reports. Thatch and I encountered a beta vampire alone. We all know beta vampires can't be alone." The others nodded in agreement. Marco continued. "Before she died she also said the same thing that the warriors are coming to destroy the earth's abominations. She too keeps on saying the word light." Rakuyo stood up.
"Do you think… we are encountering something that we haven't encountered before?" Marco sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Yes. So we need to be ready. All of us will not leave this house until we found out what is this light and these warriors."

"Marco!" Marco looked at the man calling his name. His eyes widened as he saw his brother Vista coming toward him bleeding. He ran towards his brother and caught him before he hits the ground.
"Vista! What happened yoi?!" His brother coughed and groaned in pain before he respond.
"I-it's t-the l-light… S-hed … h-elp… thers…" Marco shook his brother's shoulders but the man just groaned. He began to clenched his fists and lay gently his brother on the floor. White Bay came and provided Vista the medication he needed. Marco gather his weapons that can be used such as knives, machete, sword, guns, and bullets and head out of the house towards the wooden shed not far from their home. As he drew closer, he heard shouts and screams coming from the shed. Picking up his pace, he reached the shed. He opened the shed's door revealing his wounded brothers lying on the ground. Clutching his gun, he slowly walked inside and searched the perimeter.
"Marco D. Phoenix." Marco turned around and pointed the gun at the man in front of him. The man has his head down hiding his face.
"Who the fuck are you?! Why did you attack my brothers?!" The man didn't say anything. Marco gritted his teeth. Putting his finger in the trigger, he fired and hit the man's right shoulder. What shocked him the most is that the man didn't flinch nor fall into the ground. The man raised his head and Marco was wrong. This man is not a man. It's a kid. Around twenties to be exact because this is a freckled teen. The kid shrugged his shoulders and the bullet fell off his shoulders. Marco felt his knees shaking from fear. That bullet that he fired is not just any bullet. It is made to kill any sort of beings. If it didn't work on him, then none of his weapons will do.
"To answer your questions, my name is Ace. I am an angel of the heavens and you are the reason for your brothers fate."
