Chapter 2: City of lights
Magnolia was the city of lights at night. Busy streets to fabulous neon lights to amazing entertainment, it was a lively place to live in, and others will doubt they ever sleep but somehow, not everyone in town seems to be enjoying the city of lights.
Four large blades cycle in a never ending rhythm and the sound of air being beaten into submission. From a distant, a silhouette of figures could be seen inside a helicopter. The moonlight shone over the entrance of the helicopter and the light reflects to the brown eyes which belonged to the figure that stood near the entrance.
'Are you ready? We're closing in to the target area.' The man asked in which the woman returns a nod. The helicopter then was driven near to the 'target area' as per what the man had said. 'Remember your mission.'
'This will take 15 minutes…' The figure confidently responded as it jumps from the helicopter and landed onto a building. '…or less.'
Not far from the building, was the midnight parade festival, and the pink-haired man could be seen walking in the street with the blanquette. The look in his face, tells us how uninterested he was, in these events, but there was not anything he could do since the blanquette insisted him going with her tonight.
'Natsu, let's go ride that wheel!' The blanquette suggests. The poor pink-haired man could only sighed and nod, not wanting to argue more, and hoped that the event would end soon.
A man ran through the streets of magnolia, into the midnight parade festival. The civilians that passes by gave him strange looks but he ignored them. He knew that he was being chased and all he needed to do was to run for his life.
Natsu was being dragged by the blanquette to the wheel ride when suddenly the man ran passed him. The wrist watch that he had been wearing for his 'date' had started blinking notifying that his mission had started.
'Lisanna,' he began and the blanquette nods. Both of them immediately followed the man who had just passed them.
The man kept running, without any particular idea of where to hide or stop, he had arrived at an alley. He pressed himself against the wall and breathed heavily.
It took only a few seconds for him to realize that footsteps could be heard, as if they were getting closer. The man trembled in fear, hoping that somebody would come to save him. As he prayed, the sound of footsteps was gone. He peeked from behind the wall, only to find that the coast is clear. The man then sighed in relief but suddenly he was shuddering in fear at the figure before him. It was dark, and the moonlight barely shine over the figure. He fidgeted his view, squinted his eyes, hoping to get a better view of the figure. The man then looks down at the figure and widens his eyes in shock.
Even in darkness, he could scarcely see the figure that had a bodacious curve, and a pair of beautiful brown eyes. She wore a black leather feather jacket with black skinny trousers and a pair of black high-heeled boots.
'A woman?!' The man thought as he was in shock.
The woman had only looked up at him, smirked and punched him to the ground. The woman continued to pummel him while the man was lying helplessly on the ground.
'I'll do anything, please do not kill me!' The man protested. It didn't take her long enough for her to take out a magnum revolver. The silver shining metal was pointed directly to the man's forehead.
'I'm just doing my job.' She replied as she triggered a shot onto his forehead causing the man to rain blood as the bullet pierced through his head.
'Head shot,' the woman smirked, satisfied with her work as she places her gun back into a holster located at her left thigh.
Somewhere in the streets located near the murdered location, the pink-haired lad was running, hoping to catch up with the man that ran passed him. Not long before, he heard one shot, and ran towards the alley. As soon as he arrived, he found a dead man lying on the corner and a bullet covered in blood lying on the ground. He was sickened by the scene and took out his cell.
'Lisanna, it's me, I think I found him.'
Morning came too soon, since the tragedy occurred. The pink-haired lad was sitting in the meeting room together with the blanquette, and facing them was their greatest nightmare in fear, the scarlet red haired woman.
'I think you need a logical explanation to why the both of you have failed this mission?' the red-haired woman interrogated.
The blanquettes shook and apologized for countless times. 'It's my fault, Erza, if I weren't slacking in the mission, we would've succeeded.' Erza closed her eyes, not wanting her emotions to judge the situation.
'I'm sorry…' the blanquette apologized and this time, it might have been the zillionth time.
'Stop apologizing,' the pink-haired man cuts her sentence and finally gave in. 'I'll see the details.'
'I'd assure you do that, considering that the person whoever he is, killed our target.' Erza groaned in frustration. 'Fortunately our hacking team is currently in the process of obtaining footage of the murderer.'
The red-haired woman regained her composure and stood up straight. 'Lisanna, you will be assigned to another mission with the gamma team, and so you are dismissed.'
'Ye..yes ma'am.' Lisanna stuttered as she responded the woman who is far superior to her. the blanquette stood up and left the meeting room.
Natsu was left alone with Erza, and he wandered off in his deep thoughts, getting ready to be lectured and scolded by the red-haired woman.
'You, Natsu, have a special mission, requested directly from above.' The pink-haired man did not replied as he seemed not too keen with his 'punishment'.
'I thought I would be getting a beating or two because I screwed up.'
'I would beat you up dead if it weren't for the law but it seems that the above wanted you to do this mission.'
The pink-haired man kept quiet, getting ready to digest the information that he was about to be told.
'Good, seems like you're ready to listen.'
'What did you expect, for me to rage?'
Erza just raised one eye brow and crossed her arm onto her chest. There was a minute of silence before she walked to the computer, and displayed his new mission.
'I have been informed that the dead man, whom was supposed to be our target, had connections to the people involved in human trafficking, and not only that, he was supposed to be an informant for the dark organization called organization XIII , recently, the dark organization had been spotted to be on the move, they are also involved with corruptions with the prime minister. One of their illegal activities include selling organs which would explain the increase in murdering rates.'
'Where do I come in?'
'Your role is to investigate more about this organization XIII, I have sent out recruits to completely wipe out their black market and illegal activities, not leaving a trace behind.'
'Sounds fair. When do I begin?'
'Now, you were given the privilege to use any measure you find necessary into investigating organization XIII. This mission is exclusively for you.'
The pink haired man stood up and walked to the door.
'Remember not to screw it, or this time, it will be your head.' Erza warned which causes the pink-haired man to smirk and walk out of the meeting room, closing the wooden sound-proof door behind him.
