Chapter Seven:
An unpleasant surprise means we're not done yet.
"Um guys it can't be him cause he's a she." Atlus says.
Everyone stares.
"Yes but it doesn't matter that you caught me! Haha! My brother is free! If only the dumbass could have kept his compulsion under control but you know what they say, beasts will be beasts. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The young woman laughs.
"That means that Harald von Schroeder just walked out of here." Mikage states.
The three of us plus Banda run outside the Hemo Hotel. Atlus grabs the just left Tenors.
"Have either of you seen Kiryu von Schroeder?" He asks the brothers
"Yah, he ran off to the plane station." The older Tenor says.
Atlus lets him go and nods in appreciation before clearing off.
"Well hello there again babe." Rudger Godwin smiles towards my partner.
"Shut up and tell me if either of you know where the plane station is." Mikage screams.
"You're contradicting yourself." Rex Godwin tells her.
She growls and lifts the older brother slightly off the ground.
"Listen you if you don't tell me right now I will put my fist through your head!"
"Okay, okay! No need to be unreasonable!" The older man cries. "It's on Arms street near the clock tower!"
She drops in and in her high heels clips there. Banda drops to the ground clutching his chest.
"Too much energy, I can't go any farther." The whimpish man says.
"Just stay there Banda." Atlus yells.
"Yes!" Banda calls back.
The Godwin brothers rush to help him. We look around for Arm's street and I see Jean Grayson and his alto girlfriend.
"Hello there could either of you lead me to Arms street?" I ask the fey.
"I can." The small man says.
He leads us past crowds with skill and carefully navigates the streets. Mikage's heels clip and clack against the crowd and Atlus screams every few seconds. We see the sign and wave the two off. Jean Grayson waves back. We run down the street to the small plane station where Brave Gretchen and Divine Sayer are standing in line. A man in a black dress pushes past them and rushes into the plane. We speed up and shove past the two red haired people as well.
"Watch where you're going!" Mr. Sayer yells.
"Yeah!" Ms. Gretchen calls after us.
Atlus slides over the desks for dramatic effect. Mikage trips over herself. I help her up and leave Atlus to catch the cross-dresser on his own. The blonde races down and grabs the silver haired man. He smirks and punches Atlus in the jaw. The cross dresser gets into fighting position.
"I didn't mean for it to happen this way. He wasn't supposed to truly die. I thought he was marked. I had to same him form the hypocrisy, from those people that use and abuse and feel free to do anything they choose! From the Tenors whom take after their sire to Divine Sayer whom manipulated Iyazoi and his half brother to claim his as a God and make even the stars tremble to myself whom has no control over anything. Even my own body betrays me. You don't understand." Mr. Schroeder tells Atlus.
"I understand enough mate." Atlus replies.
"Not me, not my motivations, not his or theirs, all you know is that I killed a man. Don't you care for the reasons?"
"Not really no."
Atlus throws a punch at the smaller man whom deflects it easily.
"Weak, weak, humans are all so weak!" The silver haired man smirks.
He twists and hits Atlus and blonde cop drops. The silver haired man walks off. Atlus grabs the ankle of the beast man and sends him to the ground.
"Not that weak huh?" He asks the downed beast before Mikage and I run over.
Mikage takes out a small knife and puts it against his throat. The thin man grabs her arm and swings her into Atlus and I. The aussie cop swears and chases the beast man. The beast man growls and bumps into the back of Brave Gretchen. The crazed woman grabs him and wraps her hand around his throat before pressing down.
"This is for Dragan you little bitch." She snaps.
The silver haired man lets out a squeal.
"Harald von Schroeder you are under arrest for the murder of Dragan Godwin. You have the right to remain silent-"Atlus starts.
"We'll take over." A roundish woman with glasses tells Mikage.
The blue haired fair folk nods and releases the beast.
"Oh the hypocrisy." The man snarls.
"You have proven that magic is fit in the hands of humanity. We will reveal ourselves to the rest of the world." Another woman mentions.
Banda who has finally gotten here nods as do I.
"Thank you!" The glassed woman chirps.
"You are welcome." Banda grins.
I don't say anything because I have said enough. The silver haired man gets taken off by the fair folk as Atlus and I board our planes and go our separate ways. Banda stays behind for a little bit longer and Mikage leaves with her teammates. I can only hope that we meet again.
