It was time for me to return to Corona, to strike vengeance on the guys who destroyed me. Only now I wasn't going as Eugene Fitzherbert, I was now going the vigilante archer. And with the help of the Green Hood, Ollie Amell, the Wolf Pack was going to regret messing with me.
We waited until nightfall before we packed our weapons into Ollie's boat and made our way back to Corona.
"Once we get back to Corona I need to track down my own secret lair," Ollie said "I used to use it to study clues and to store my uniform and weapons when I wasn't being the Green Hood."
"Problem is Ollie, I am assumed dead, having me return as myself right now would shift suspicion."
"Which is why I need to find the lair." Ollie said "You can use that place to hide until it is safe for you to show your real identity to the kingdom again."
"You go find your lair Ollie." I said as we arrived on Corona soil. "I am going back to the scene of the crime, the place I was when I got shot."
"What are you looking for?" Ollie asked
"Anything that might let us know just what the Wolf Pack is up to." I said as I ran off "They wouldn't of brought me and Rapunzel their unless they are using that place for something. And I want to know what."
When I arrived to the building it was no surprise to me that the place was locked. Obviously they didn't want anybody snooping around a place they had no business in. Unfortunately for them I was making it my business. I kicked in the door and drew my bow just in case their was trouble waiting for me, however, the room was empty, for now anyway.
The room was still as dark and creepy as it was last time I was here, and now with it being night outside it made it even more creepy. I tried flickering the light switch to see if I could get any light on the scene, no good though, the lights were shut off.
I took out a flair so that I could see where I was going as I explored the many hallways when I stumbled upon what looked like a supply room. Odds are if I was going to find anything I was going to find it in there. I slowly twisted my doorknob and to my surprise found that it was unlocked. As I opened the door I found on the floor boxes among boxes of explosives. I picked up a stick of dynamite and using my flair I was able to read the label on it.
"Big Dan's trading post."
Dan Mattherson Or Big Dan as they called him was a corrupt businessman man who a couple years back was convicted of insurance scam and arson when he blew up one of his own businesses in order to collect the insurance money on it in order to pay back the money he owed to the mob. He was convicted but only served one year in prison, getting off early for good behavior. He opened up Honest Dan's trading post a few months back swearing that he was a changed man. However judging from these explosions he apparently made I am not so convinced. Why did he make these explosives for the Wolf Pack anyway and what were they planning to do with it? I wasn't sure at that moment but one thing was for sure, I was going to find out.
As I stuck the stick of dynamite in my pocket and started to get up to leave I suddenly heard the cock of a gun come from behind me.
"Who the hell are you freak." I heard a voice say behind me. I slowly turned my head to see five guys in wolf masks standing behind me guns drawn. Apparently the place wasn't as empty as I thought it was. They must have been in the upper floor and heard me brake in and decided to investigate. Now they had me cornered, or so they thought.
"I don't have a name anymore." I said in a deep growling voice as I slowly reached into my utility belt and took out a couple of smoke grenades. "However, you can call me your nightmare."
I then dropped the smoke grenades on the ground, creating a fog that blinded them from seeing me.
"Where the hell did he go?" I heard on of them cry as they shot blindly in the air. As they where shooting blind I sneaked up from behind and drew my bow and shot one of them in the back. The others heard the guy scream after he got shot and turned around to try to find me.
"Where are you?" another guy cried. I jumped on the ceiling and landed right behind the guy, the noise catching his ear.
"Here" I growled shooting a arrow into his chest.
I saw the shadows of two of the guys, their guns where drawn and pointed right at me. Apparently they saw my shadow from the fog. I ran as they started shooting at me, but I turned around and shot to arrows at them, each one hitting them in the neck. Four down one to go.
I saw the last guy trying to run away, but I charged right at him, no way in hell I was going to let him escape. I took a shortcut down the hall and cut him off at the exit. Needless to say, he was surprised to see me blocking the exit.
"Who are you?" He cried, obvious fear in his voice.
"I am a ghost in the darkness." I growled pointing a arrow right toward him. He slowly backed away in fear and put his hands up. I had him right where I wanted him. I fired the arrow at him and it landed straight in his chest. After the last guy fell I ran up to him and removed his mask and grabbed him by the collar.
"WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING!?" I roared, trying to figure out what they were planning. "WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS WITH THESE EXPLOSIVES!? ANSWER ME!"
However, he didn't answer. He instead chocked up blood and then died in my grasp. Curse my good shot he was dead. All five of them was actually. I wasn't going to get answers from these guys and apparently I was going to have to use a different tactic when I wanted answers. I wasn't going to leave empty handed though. If I couldn't get any answers on the explosives I was going to at least find out who these guys were. I took a DNA sample from each guy and got the hell out of there before any cops showed up, which I knew they more then likely were.
Sure enough not to long after the police showed up as well as Greyson and Rapunzel. Usually Rapunzel didn't get involved in police business or go anywhere near crime scenes but when she heard that the victems were members of the group that attacked her she wanted in.
As the police were investigating the crime scene Rapunzel was own her phone talking to a friend. Ever since the incident she really didn't talk much to anybody, not even her own parents. But eventually her mother said she had to let somebody in so Rapunzel decided while the police did their business she would talk to a friend of hers and try to get some help.
"I really need to see you." Rapunzel said to the person on the other end. "The past two weeks have been like hell on earth for me. I just need somebody to talk to about what I'm going through. Yeah I'll see you then. Bye."
"What do you make of it inspector?" Rapunzel heard Greyson say as he stepped over the police crossing holding a black arrow in his hand.
"Well from what I examined each of them died by a single arrow in their body. The thing is each arrow is exactly the same, each crafted the same way."
"Do you think that one person signal handily took down a group of five local terrorist?" Greyson asked
"Well my men are confiscating the servalence cameras as we speak to try to make sure but from the looks of it we are indeed dealing with a single marksman."
"What I want to know is how one person can take down five heavily trained men like these?" Greyson said. "But when we do find him we will take him down."
"If you ask me when you do find him you should give him a medal." Rapunzel said
"Rapunzel, the guy is a murderer." The inspector said
"Did you forget what those guys did to me? They killed my husband they would of killed me to if he didn't sacrifice himself to get me out of their." Rapunzel said "These terrorist deserved what they got."
"Rapunzel you can't take the law into your own hand." Greyson said trying to get through to her.
"Well maybe he wouldn't have to if you guys did your job earlier and actually tried to take these guys down." Rapunzel said.
"Rapunzel. The Wolf Pack will be stopped." Greyson said putting his hand on her shoulders and looking her in the eye. But they deserve a fair trail just like everybody else, we can't have some vigilante serving out his own judgment, and trying to decide what is right. This vigilante is a murderer, he is dangerous, and he will be stopped."
"You want him go get him." Rapunzel said "But if he can take single handily take down five terrorist, I highly doubt you can capture him."
Rapunzel then walked off, not wanting to hear anything else from Greyson or the inspector. She didn't care what they thought, to her whoever took out those terrorist was a guardian angle. And she hoped he would never get caught.
