Part Ten.

Ocarina and Hellboy left on their motorcycles.

"I'm sorry, Hellboy. I thought if I went on my own, I could find them and beat them up. Then if I needed help, you would come and save me."

"Still. You could give me a little warning. Do you have any ideas?"

"Actually I do. On the flute, there was a crescent moon. Or at least I thought it was. It was actually a lunar eclipse. I think the person has control over the dead only after he plays under the eclipse."

"It makes sense. We would have been facing zombies if it wasn't."

"I checked local weather reports and there is one area where the lunar eclipse will be perfect. I was going to use Eric to see if I was right."

"When's the eclipse?"

"In three days."

"All right. Plenty of time."

"Not exactly. The only place in the area is an island off the coast. Its small and was a major hot spot a few years ago until people started disappearing. Corneille had to have been starting then to form his army."

"No big deal."

"Actually it kind of is."

"Can't I have my moment?"

"Nope. A total of three hundred people disappeared after visiting the island. At least that we know of. He could have way more. Not to forget the Nemean Lion and that mysterious other man."

Hellboy suddenly slowed down his motorcycle as they reached a truck stop.

"What's the matter?"

"Isn't that the Bureau's garbage truck?"

They pulled in and recognized the truck immediately.

"What's it doing here?"

"The driver's a moron. Probably on his way back to the bureau."

Hellboy pulled the handle for the door.

"Locked."

Ocarina pulled out two bobby pins from her hair and stuck them in the lock. In a few seconds, she broke in. She then got under the dashboard and pulled out some wires.

"You can hotwire trucks?"

"Trucks, bikes, you name it."

"That's hot."

The truck sparked up and the two went into the back.

"Wait! The bikes!"

She ran outside and lifted both of the bikes, one using only her hair, into the back.

"Sorry."

Hellboy looked around and had a smirk on his face.

"New load! Check out this baby!"

He held up a set of grenades.

"One of these could blow up that Nemean Lion from the inside out!"

"Maybe you could use th at instead of strangling it. Might be quicker." she said hooking up two guns to her sides.

"You wanna drive?"

"Hell yeah."

Hellboy got in the front seat and Ocarina sat next to him. He revved up the engine, popped a cigar in his mouth, and drove out of there. When they pulled out, they could see the driver chasing them. Hellboy stuck his head out the window.

"We're just borrowing it! Tell Broom his son is about to kick some ass!"

It took them an hours to get from the forests of New York back to Conneticut.

"Does the bureau have a boat we can take?"

Hellboy thought for a minute before he had a sly smile on his face.

"Can you hotwire a boat?"

"Maybe. Never tried it before. Why?"

He laughed evilly.

"I don't know what you're planning but this is a major turn-on." she whispered in his ear.

"Don't do this to me now. Save it for after we kill Corneille. Then, once I'm grounded, we can make up for lost time."

She laughed and thought about how much trouble the were going to get in.

"There it is."

Up ahead on the dock was a medium size cargo ship. None of the crew was on board and it was empty.

"This just docked a few hours ago. I say we wait until they refuel, drive the truck onto it, and steal it ." Ocarina smiled. "This is so going to get us in trouble! Maybe even arrested! I am in!"

"Trust me. Once you do this over the years, its one hell of a thrill."

The next day, early in the morning, the crew started refueling the ship. Ocarina walked down wearing another perfume of hers, personally one of her favorites. Each and every member of the crew started staring at her.

"I'm so lost! I was supossed to meet my fiancee here but he left me for another woman! How do I get back home?"

The men nearly jumped overboard as they all ran over to offer rides. Soon, all of them started fighting one another. While they were distracted, Hellboy drove the garbage truck onto the ship and Ocarina hotwired it. By the time the crew realized what was going on, they were already heading out to sea.

"I love making different scents. You never know when you can use them."

Ocarina said as she drove the boat. Hellboy was smoking a cigar as he loaded up the weapons.

"I say we storm the islands, blow up the lion, rip apart Corneille, and be back in time for lunch."

"That's good logic, if you had a clue on what you were doing."

Hellboy and Ocarina turned around to find the mysterious accomplice of Corneille standing behind them.
