When Dan went the following mourning to talk to the King and Queen I had Ollie to follow him in secret to find out if he was going to be honest or not. Obviously I didn't trust him to be honest so having him watched was a no brainer. I would have followed him myself but considering the whole kingdom knows my face and considering I am still believed to be dead, it wouldn't be the smartest idea for me to go.
Ollie followed behind Dan at a close distance, making sure Dan didn't expect being followed. As Dan walked inside the palace to talk to the king, Ollie crept behind one of the guards and put him in a choke hold before covering his face with a chloroform rag to knock him out.
"Sorry about this mate." Ollie said stealing the guards uniform so he could blend in with the crowd in the castle. "Nothing personal."
"So your telling me that two men in dark hoods attacked you last night?" King Liam asked a few minuted later. There was a lot of guards in the room with Liam and the royal family so Ollie was able to blend in nicely with his guard uniform.
"Yes, and I have the scars to prove it." Dan said showing the scars on his hand that Ollie put a arrow in the other night. "I was just closing up shop, minding my own business when those two freaks came in and nearly killed me."
Greyson was making sketches of the hooded men out of the details that Dan had given them and showed them to Dan.
"Do they look anything like this?" Greyson asked
"Yes, that's them." Dan asked.
"The one in black took out five members of the Wolf Pack the other night as well." Greyson added
"Well it seems to me that you got a couple of crazy vigilantes on your hands." Dan said "I've done my time, I've payed the price for my crimes. I don't need two freaks in hoods ruling that I haven't paid enough for my past sins. I want them off the streets."
"We will do everything in our power to make sure that these two menaces our caught and dealt with." Liam said
"Good, cause next time they might actually kill me."
"We will make sure that doesn't happen." Liam said as the guards escorted him out the palace doors.
Ollie, realizing that Dan had doubled crossed us after all, also sneaked out of the crowd and headed back to base before anybody noticed that he wasn't a real guard. He couldn't believe that Dan double crossed him, but he was going to make sure that didn't happen again.
"Well Rapunzel, what did I tell you about the guy in the hood?" Greyson said, confronting Rapunzel who had doubted that the vigilantes were criminals.
"Your really going to believe a convicted criminal like that who is known for his dishonesty?" Rapunzel asked.
"You saw the scars yourself your highness." Greyson said "These two vigilantes are dangerous, and they need to be brought to justice before they harm anybody else."
"And what about the Wolf Pack, the real threat that killed Eugene and nearly me?" Rapunzel asked, her voice raising. "Why don't you put your main focus on them instead of these two Robin Hood impersonators?"
"We are still working hard on that but as of right now we don't have any leads." Greyson said "We do however have leads on these two. The Wolf Pack will be brought to justice for what they have done, but without leads there isn't to much we can do. But these two vigilantes. No matter who their targets, are a danger to the kingdom, and they must be stopped."
Rapunzel marched to her room and slammed the door shut and locked it after hearing that. She didn't want to listen to any of this anymore. She just wanted the Wolf Pack gone, no matter what. Was the archers a danger, she didn't know, but at least they were trying to actually do something about the terrorist organization, unlike Greyson or the police who was determined to spend more time going after the two archers.
Tears streaming down her face as she remembered the die she lost Eugene. She grabbed a picture of her and Eugene off her night stand and stared at it. It was the picture that they took on their one year anniversary, It was her favorite picture of the two of them together, now it was just a memory of the happiness that the two of them once shared.
"I promise Eugene, I will make sure you get justice." Rapunzel said "No matter what it takes."
"So Dan didn't obey our orders?" I asked Ollie after Ollie came back and reported everything that he had witnessed.
"No he didn't." Ollie said "Now he has the king and the guards trying to take us down."
"That little bum." I growled. It was already hard enough fighting the Wolf Pack by ourselves. But now with the law on us, it made the mission ten times harder.
"So it seems like we are now wanted by both sides of the law." I said twirling a arrow with with my fingers.
"I've been down this road before my first time around as the Green Hood." Ollie said "It won't be easy."
"Nothing ever is." I said "I joined this crusade of yours knowing the risk, And I'm prepared for anything that is thrown at us."
"You ready to be a wanted man." Ollie asked
"I was a wanted man before I met Rapunzel" I laughed "So to me it's just like old times."
"In that case. Let's go take care of a rat." Ollie said.
That night the two of us suited back up, ready to give Dan a very unpleasant meeting. The two of us had given Dan the opportunity to come clean, too turn himself in and possibly stop a major threat from happening. But he chose instead to betray us and turn us in to save his own ass. Well now he was going to wish he listened to us the first time. Because by the time we were through with him he will be wishing he was locked back up in a jail cell.
As we arrived to Dan's trading post the two of us were surprised to hear two set's of voices coming from inside the shop, and judging by the sound of them the conversation did not sound very friendly.
"What did you tell the king?" A deep growling voice that would send chills down anybody's spine said
"That's the Alpha Male." Ollie said "The leader of the Wolf Pack. What's he doing here?"
"I didn't tell them anything." Dan said, his voice shaking, he was obviously scared. Hell, can't say I blamed him.
"If you had taken out those two hooded freaks when you had the chance you wouldn't have had to go to them with anything." Alpha Male said. He was tall and wearing a gray coat made out of wolf fur. His mask also resembled a gray wolf with the jaw of the wolf open, revealing only the mouth and bottom chin of the Alpha Male "The police is already on to us, we cannot risk anything coming back to us! We cannot risk any rats in or pack."
"Please sir, you know I wouldn't rat on you!"
"I know that Dan." Alpha Male said grabbing Dan by the neck. "But you also must know that every decision that I make is for the good of the Pack." Then the Alpha male took out a arrow and jabbed it in Dan's neck. He dug it so hard into Dan's neck that it pierced his windpipe, cutting off air circulation causing him to suffocate as blood spilled out of his neck and mouth. "This must look like it was done by the archer.
"FREEZE!" I roared bursting into the building as the two of us pointed our bows at Alpha male. Alpha male shot a arrow of his own at the two of us narrowly missing us as Ollie chased after Alpha Male as he tried to escape and I ran toward Dan to see if I could stop the bleeding and save him. No good he was losing blood at to great of a rate, my best hope was that maybe he knew the identity of who the Alpha Male was.
"Who is he Dan?" I asked "Who is Alpha Male?" I never got a answer before he choked up blood one last time and died. Dammit!
"Hold it right there freak!" said a voice from behind. It was the cops, about five in number and each one had a gun pointed at me. Apparently Dan must of knew his life was in danger when Alpha Male showed up to his work place and called the police but they arrived a little to late, now they think I was the one that killed him, shit!
"This isn't what it appears to be." I said not moving a inch fearing that they would fire.
"Yeah sure freak show now hands above your head, if I see you even making the slightest twitch toward your bow your dead you hear me!"
I had to find some way out of there without being shot, but how could I do that with five cops pointing there guns at me? Think Eugene think.
Ollie chased Alpha Male to the roof top as Alpha Male pulled out a sword and swung it at Ollie. Ollie barely had time to duck as he narrowly missed getting struck by the blade. Ollie took out his bow and swung it at Alpha Male only to get his arm blocked and punched in the face. Alpha male kneed Ollie in the stomach and tripped him, knocking him to the ground before taking out his sword and attempted to strike Ollie down again. Ollie narrowly rolled out of the way as the blade struck the ground. Ollie then took out his bow and fired a arrow at Alpha Male just missing him.
"Your getting slower with your old age Green Hood." Alpha Male said walking up to him and throwing a punch. "I guess all those years in hiding has had it's effect on you! You never should have come out of hiding!"
"And you should have never threatened this kingdom again!" Ollie said throwing a punch of his own back at Alpha Male. There on that rooftop the two of them threw punches and kicks at each other using a number of different styles of martial arts. Alpha male was faster though and stronger, despite, his old age Alpha male fought like a young person still in his prime. Ollie couldn't believe how he was able to block most of his swings at his age, it's almost like he was still young, despite the two of them going at it most of the Green Hood's career. Ollie pulled out a arrow and threw at at Alpha Male striking him in the arm. Alpha Male growled as he pulled the arrow from his arm, he glared at Ollie for a few seconds before leaping off the rooftop landing on top of a parked car and ran off. Not even seeming the slightest bit hurt.
"Who is that guy under the mask?" Ollie asked himself as he glared in shock at how Alpha Male could take a shot like that with a arrow and jump off a building like he did and seem hardly unscathed.
Back inside the building I searched franticly for a means of escape before my eyes landed at a open window in the top floor. That was my only means out but I had to do it quickly and without getting shot down by the cops. Ever so smoothly and quietly I grabbed a couple of smoke grenades out of my utility belt and dropped them on the ground. Causing a thick fog that blocked the cops vision. They shot at me but thankfully they missed as I quickly took out my bow and shot a grappling arrow at the window, grappling myself up out of the window, to the rooftop where I met back up with Ollie and the two of us both shot zip cord arrows at the nearest building and zip lined our way to freedom as the cops made their way to the rooftop and watched in awe as we made our getaway.
