The Manor
A/N I have been thinking about starting a Fallout Fanfic along with the rest of this story. Do you think it's a good idea or do you think it will take away from this story?
Once both teams get a few blocks away from their destination Ace signaled for them to pull over.
"Okay guys we are going to want to park around here so we all don't show up and alerting everyone." Ace says as he gets off his bike.
Both teams follow suit then they creep silently towards the large manor. After a few moments they walk up on the Breeva Manor. The manor was heavily guarded and protected by a large electric gate.
"Any ideas on how to get past that?" Dragon asks as she throws a leaf on the gate and watches it burn.
"I can walk through but there are two armed guards just behind it. I'm going to need some help taking them out. I am sure there is a switch that will open this gate in the guard house." Ghost says as he looks around for help.
"I can go." Sombre says as he solidifies, his blue eyes gleaming in the darkness.
"Alright, move out." Ghost says as he steps through the gate.
Once on the other side they noticed two guards playing cards. They were both calm, not alert in the slightest. That made their job a lot easier. Sombre stood behind one guard, Ghost behind the other. Sombre laughed. The guy he was behind had a royal flush. Too bad he wasn't going to win this hand. Ghost counted down from three on his fingers. 3, 2, 1,. Then they solidified their hands and slammed the guards head into the table, effectively knocking them out.
"That was a lot easier than I could have expected. Find the switch while I hide these two." Ghost says as he lifts one guard and puts him in a cabinet. Ghost puts the other guard in the fridge as Sombre flips the switch to open the gate.
The two teams converge at the entrance.
"Coma can you put those two in a peaceful dream? They will wake up with one heck of a headache might as well give them something nice." Ghost says smiling.
"Sure, one second." Comatose says as he puts the two in a good dream. The beach was always nice.
After he was finished the teams look at the Breeva Manor. Yep it was big. Was it creepy? Of course.
"We are going to have to split up to cover all this ground. My team goes left, yours goes right." Aella says as she pulls twin daggers out and spins them.
"Sounds good to me, call me if you find Jacob or if you are in trouble." Ace says then turns to his team. "Let's move out Titans.
The Titans stalk through the manor not coming across anyone.
"Where is everyone?" Dragon asks loudly.
"Don't question it." Valo replies. "The less we have to fight the better."
"I agree with Valo, but it is a bit creepy that no one is in this big manor. It's a waste of space really." Demonic replies.
All of a sudden three thugs dressed in black step out of the shadow. Each of them dressed in skin tight black uniforms with a red hourglass on their chest, no skin showed and they wore dark sunglasses over their eyes.
The thug in the middle looked to the left then to the right and took off running the other two following close behind.
The Titans bide their time. Stand waiting for the moment of inevitable collision.
"Dragon do you see a weakness?" Ace asks as he shuffles through his deck.
"They are cocky and they are going to protect the middle one." Dragon says as she draws her sword.
The other Titans raise their hands as the thugs close in. Valo's hands are shining with iridescent light. Midnight's glowing with a swirling vortex of purple and black. Sombre stood behind her, his hands on her shoulders, feeding her power but not giving her too much. Demonic stood in a defensive stance, her powers wouldn't help in this battle but she was still a good fighter.
"Everyone split into pairs then pick a thug. Dragon you are with me." Ace says as he braces himself for the battle.
The thugs collide with the titans, Dragon and Ace taking the middle one and moving him back away from the others. The thug was fast, and trained. Dragon sliced the air where the thug was seconds before. Ace threw punch after punch, none connected. Ace did a backflip and threw a card; the card struck the middle of the hourglass on the thug's chest. The thug stumbled and looked down; the card then sank into the thug's chest. Ace spread his hands and the card exploded; a flash of light in the thug's chest. The thug smiled and smoke floated out of his mouth. Dragon took the opportunity and slammed the hilt of her sword into the thug's face. His glasses shattered to reveal his bright red eyes.
"They are Erebus! Sombre what do we do?" Ace says as he glances over at Sombre. Dark sunglasses covered his eyes too.
"Light! Just keep it away from me." Sombre yells back.
Dragon created a flame from her fingertips, and shot it at the shadow agent. It was too fast though.
"Ace hold up your deck!" Dragon yelled as she shot a stream of fire at Ace.
Ace held up his cards and his whole deck burst into flames. Ace picked up on the idea and while the Erebus was focused on Dragon and he flames, she was making a dragon from her fire with a huge smile on her face. She was finally stretching her power limits and she liked it. Ace took the opportunity and shot three flaming cards at the Erebus. Two struck it in the chest, the other in between its eyes. The Erebus screamed in pain then crumbled away. Two red jewels were the only thing left.
Dragon began shooting fire to battle her opponent so Sombre put his glasses on. No need to get caught off guard with accidental friendly fire. ( pun) Sombre gave Midnight a surplus of power then separated from her. Midnight shot the darkness at the Erebus. It was slowing it down but not a lot. Sombre turned to smoke then tackled the Erebus. They both went swirling away. Sombre attacked his foe with animosity. He had dealt with these before in his rescue of Midnight. They were not about to harm her. Sombre gouged out the red gems in the Erebus' eyes and it burst to dust the gems clattering to the ground.
Valo and Demonic were resolving to hand-to-hand combat with the Erebus and despite its agility they were keeping it at bay. Valo heard Sombre yell to Ace to use light. She smiled as she charged her hands. The Erebus seeing her hands began to flee. Sombre, disposing of his opponent, saw the flee Erebus flew at him and took him to the ground. Sombre flew off as Valo shot bolts of light into the Erebus. Red jewels were the only thing left of it when it was all said and done.
"Well that was fun." Dragon replies as she bends down to pick up a gem.
"NO! Do not touch that." Sombre says sternly. "Whoever leashed these Erebus is powerful. I wouldn't doubt it if there is still some evil magic left on it. Let me. These are my brethren and they do deserve a proper send off." Sombre says as he picks up all six jewels and puts them into a shadow, each one slowly dissolving as Sombre speaks softly.
"That was beautiful." Valo says as she wipes away tears.
"Let's move along." Ace says solemnly.
Ace opens the door and sees Jacob tied to a chair at the very end of the room. The Titans run into the room towards Jacob. Before they know it bars spring up in front of them and behind them, all around them enclosing them into a cell.
"Well it is nice of you to show up." A deep voice says.
The Titans search for the source of the voice and see a tall man with his back to them.
"Show your face you scumbag." Dragon yells as she throws herself against the bars.
"Watch your tongue little girl, or I will set my dogs on you." The voice calls out, then four huge wolves step around from behind them.
The wolves then circle the man.
"It is okay children, rise up." The man spoke to the wolves.
The wolves slowly began to change growing legs, snout shortening, standing erect. When the transformation was complete in the place of the four wolves stood four men, wearing black sweatpants and the tattoo of a wolf silhouetted by the moon.
"Jericho!" Ace . "I trusted you!"
"And whose mistake was that?" The man said as he turned around. His eyes were blood red, his teeth were elongated. His smile was more of a snarl. "I used to be Jericho but I am now the ShadowKing.
"Wow… bit dramatic isn't he?" Dragon says.
"That is not the Jericho I met." Ace replies as he opens his communicator. "Alpha Team, we gotta mayday, Need assistance. In the East Wing."
Ace heard his echo through someone's communicator. Aella was standing beside the ShadowKing with the rest of her team.
"Sorry Ace, I like you, you are a pretty cool guy and you coulda been with us but you chose them. We are tired of being invisible. We want gratitude, we want power." Ghost calls down to them in the cage.
"How in the world are we going to get out of here." Midnight says dejected.
A/N Ohhh it is getting interesting… What are ya'll thinking? And what do you think about a new story?
