Chapter 4 Someone Has To Pay

Sonic was the first one to the warehouse as it was a short distance and Nightwatcher didn't see the point in teleporting.

When they got there they saw it surrounded by GCPD patrols and when they went inside they saw a body tied to a pipe with the same symbol on the wall. Sonic could have sworn the brutality of the kills were getting worse.

This time it looked like a hot pipe had made contact on the chest and had gunshot wounds in the legs. One wound looked familiar to Nightwatcher and he said an energy blast must have killed this person which meant the killer wasn't ordinary it was someone with power.

Just then they heard someone's voice then sounds that sounded like a small child crying. They wondered to the sound and saw a little girl hiding behind rubble.

Kira stepped forward "I'll take care of this." She said as she got down on one of her knees.

"Come on honey, everything is going to be okay now okay now." After saying that the little girl ran to her and jumped into her arms. The small girl was holding a note and said, "a very bad man was here, I didn't see his face but he killed that nice lady, he and told me when Sonic The Hedgehog and his friends came to give them this note or he'll kill me next. I-I just want to go home and see my mommy." She said sobbing

Kira took the note from her and tried to console her, "That man is gone now, he won't hurt you you will be safe once we take you somewhere safer." She said as she held the girl in a caring grip, she walked over to Gordon and told him. "We found this little girl, can you please find out where she lives and take her there?"

Gordon agreed and Kira turned to the girl, "You'll be okay now, he's a policeman and he's going to take you home now" and after that the girl hugged her and everyone. Nightwatcher tried to help more and conjured up a stuffed bear as she left.

After the girl was gone Kira opened the letter and as she did she shower it to everyone with concern.

I warned you all to leave all of this alone and not to interfere, well now that you didn't listen, there will be punishment, now someone has to pay.

This sent a chill down Chip's spine.

Meanwhile

Tails was working on his project and he was close to being done. He was in the middle of adding the finishing touches.

But he didn't know that outside there was a man in a dark cloak approuching Wayne Manor accompanyed by two elite Beastamorphs. The man in the cloak could tell there was a protective shield around the manor. He waved his hands and fired a special energy blast at it destroying the shield. "He actually thinks he can keep me out, how foolish." The man said to himself as he went in and instructed his Beastamorphs to stay hidden until he calls them.

Tails suddenly felt like something was wrong especially after he heard what sounded like the door opening. His curiousity got the best of him as he exited his room and went into the living room.

The first thing he noticed was the lights had been dimmed which was creepy. He walked into the kitchen and saw Alfred laying unconcious on the ground from what looked to be a blow to the head.

Tails started to back up getting scared but bumped into someone. He turned and saw a man in a dark cloak and clothing that was black with some armor plating and symbols on it, however his hood was up concealing his face.

Before Tails could react he was hit with an energy blast which knocking him into the wall. It really hurt but he got up and tried to run but he felt something grab his ankles and drag him back to the man.

He looked and saw a few vicious looking Beastamorphs. The man sent some of the furniture out of the way using a telekinetic ability. As he did this one of the Beastamorphs wandered through the manor searching for anything useful.

The man spoke to Tails, "I told you and your friends not to interfere well you should have listened to the warning...though I am surprised that Ivy and even Circe failed me but I will not."

Tails was surprised, this murderer was the one that told Ivy and Circe to attack, he's the one responsible for that as well?

As he was going through his thoughts the Beastamorph returned with Tails machine he was working on, the man looked surprised. "What is that?"

The Beastamorph told him what is was, he already truly knew but became angry when he was told, "Take it, but go restrain the old man, we can't have him disrupting us. I'll have a talk with our two tailed friend here."

The Beastamorphs did as they were told and went to the kitchen and tied Alfred down and as they did they heard their boss yelling and took a peak and saw him with his knees on Tails chest as he was face to face with him yelling,

"Do you know what I do to people who try to track my location?!" Tails was terrified and breathing heavily, he knew this man was a killer and he killed in brutal ways. He was nervous and refused to speak until the killer shouted "DO YOU?!"

"P-please stop." But just as he said that the killer moved and he felt a horrible pain in his arm, horrible enough that he screamed at the top of his lungs.

With that the Beastamorphs came back in and after it was over he thought he should give the Beastamorphs a chance with him before he continued and stepped back and said in a dark commanding voice, "Get him."
