Welcome back everybody, this chapter is a little long but I am introducing some new characters so I needed to describe them so you can get acquainted to them. Plus another Disney Character is joining the battle and this one will be staying longer then just a cameo. With that said let's get on with it.
Do I even have to say what happened next after our run in at Dan's. The police obviously believed that we were the ones that killed Dan and a warrant and bounty was issued for our capture with a million dollar reward for anybody that could bring us in alive. As if it wasn't hard enough already to put a end to the Wolf Pack's threat, now every cop in the city plus god knows how many bounty hunters were now out there looking for us. Grayson had wanted signs with a police sketch us me and Ollie in our hoods on every street corner in the kingdom and we were shot to the top of Corona's most wanted list never mind the terrorist in the Wolf Pack, those dogs wanted us more than known terrorist. God I hope Rapunzel had faith in the Archer and was trying to talk some since in her father cause boy was he making this more difficult on me than what it needed to be.
A helicopter was landing outside the Palace gates where Rapunzel, Maximus and King Liam was waiting.
"I take it your the help that Elsa said she was sending?" Rapunzel asked as a woman with red curly hair dressed in all black stepped out of the helicopter.
"That would be correct." The woman said, she had a deep Scottish accent, and had a expression on her face that would send shivers down anybodies spine. "Names Merida Waller, Headmaster of a special units force made up of convicted criminals who Elsa assigned to me to force to work for the government on special missions. We call it the Death Force."
"Convicted criminals you say?" Liam asked
"More like murderers, they are all serving life sentences, they are the most dangerous criminals in Arendelle which made them perfect for the missions where there is a high risk of death." Merida said
"And your sure this team can be trusted to not turn on you or any of us?" Rapunzel asked, a little uneasy of the fact of working with convicted murderers.
"Trust me your Highness there is nothing to worry about" Merida said. "You see, each one of the Squad members has a small bomb surgically implanted in their skull so if anyone of them steps out of line, I just detonate the bomb and their head will explode.
Rapunzel cringed at the thought of a bomb in a persons head, Elsa had a more paranoid side that she didn't know about.
"So, you ready to meet the Force?" Merida asked
"Why not." Rapunzel shrugged
"Death Force, get your asses out of here now!" Merida yelled, turning her head toward the inside of the helicopter. Then seven very intimidating looking people stepped outside. The mere appearance of them gave Rapunzel the chills.
The first guy had a cybernetic eye and carried a sniper rifle over his shoulder. He also had check marks tattooed on his arms and was dressed in a dark red and black jumpsuit.
"Meet, Sniper" Merida said pointing to the guy with the cybernetic eye. "A expert Marksman, he was a hired assassin before he was brought down, he kept count of the number of people he killed by his tattoos on his arms. He had nearly a hundred kills before we brought him down.
The next person had a scraggly beard and was dressed in thick black leather and twirling a dart in his hands.
"This guy here we call Dart. " Merida said. "His weapon of choice is a poison dart that he fired from a special dart gun. He was professional criminal in his native country in Australia before he decided to expand his territory in Arendelle."
The third person was super buff and had a eye patch over his right eye and carried a machine gun and had two swords strapped behind his back and was dressed in black and brown.
"This guy here we call terminator." Merida said, "A ex army officer and skilled assassin. He lost an eye in a war that also killed his girlfriend. The lost of his girlfriend and eye drove him insane to the point that he turned on his own platoon before he was apprehended."
The fourth person was dressed in a purple and white suite with a flower on the right pocket. He had a permanent smile on his face that looked like it was carved by a knife.
"This person here is called Smiley. His history is unknown to basically everybody. All we know is that he is psycho who kills basically for fun. The reason for his permanent smile is unknown and he keeps changing his story around."
"Hey pretty lady." Smiley said to Rapunzel "You want to know how a got these scars?"
"Not really." Rapunzel said
"Pity" Smiley replied
The next person was a woman dressed in a red and black jester outfit and carried a metal bat with her.
"This woman right here we call the Jester." Merida said "She was a former therapist until she met Smiley and got brained washed by him to became his partner in crime as well as his girlfriend.
"You better keep your filthy hands off my Smiley toots." Jester said in a high pitched voice. "Otherwise I will beat your brains out on the hard concrete."
"Trust me lady that will not be a issue." Rapunzel replied.
The sixth person was a black man dressed in lion skin and had special gloves that resembled lion paws complete with razor sharp claws.
"Here we have the Black Lion." Merida said "A martial arts expert and savage murderer, he was scheduled to be executed before I decided to give him a choice to be a part of the Death Force."
Finally they reached the final member of the force. A woman dressed in purple and carrying a bow with a purple spade on the end of each arrow.
"Here we have the Purple Spade." Merida said, "She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman who went on a revenge mission once her father had her fiancee set up to be killed by the mob. Hungry for vengeance she drained her fathers bank account, destroyed her fathers business and set fires to his office before killing him and the mobsters who killed his fiancee."
"You really think this group of convicts can take down the Wolf Pack?" Rapunzel asked
"You have any other ideas?" Merida asked "I believe you don't really have much options."
Rapunzel knew she was right. Rather she trusted these guys or not she knew that she needed them.
"By the way I hear you guys have a couple of vigilantes on your own here in Corona." Merida said
"We do but I hope he never get's caught. Unlike my father or Grayson I actually see the good he does" Rapunzel said
"Well if you ever do catch him, just give me a call. I'm sure he would make a great addition to the team."
"Nice horsey" Smiley said to Maximus offering him a apple, but Maximus just snarled and knocked it to the ground with his hoof.
"We appreciate the help to catch these terrorist." Liam said "To show are hospitality you are all welcome to stay in the castle until you capture these guys."
"WHAT!?" Rapunzel gasped. "Dad you can't be serious?"
"Thank you your majesty" Smiley gloated. "You are to kind."
"Me and Smiley better share a damn room otherwise there is going to be trouble." Jester complained.
"This is so not going to end well." Rapunzel complained
"Don't worry Rapunzel, if anything goes wrong I just pull the trigger and they will explode." Merida said
"I just hope it doesn't come to that." Rapunzel whined
"So what do we know so far about who we are up against?" I asked Ollie back in our secret lair. We were at a metal table on the far right side of the lair going over what little info we had to go on hoping to figure out where to go from here.
"We know that they are planning to cleanse the kingdom of their sins." Ollie said "And that it involves something to do with explosives."
"We also know that their leader Alpha Male is an employee of the king according to what Dan was able to tell us." I said " The thing is the king has hundreds of employees, it would be hard to figure out just who it is all by ourselves. Other then that little bit of info we still know hardly nothing about these guys." I turned to look Ollie straight in the eyes. "During your first run as the Green Hood, was there any officer that trusted you. One that you could go to for information and would be willing to help us."
"There was one." Ollie said "He is retired now, but he may still be able to be of some use to us." Ollie then got up from the table and walked to the glass case where he kept his suit.
"We going back out?" I asked
"If he knows anything that might help us out, then we need to know." Ollie said
"It will be a lot more dangerous this time around with every law officer in the kingdom looking for us" I said
"Well then we will just have to be extra careful then." Ollie said "Now let's go."
We then suited up and headed for Ollie's officer friend's apartment. Ollie said his officer friend's name was Commissioner Carl Sawyer. He retired about ten years ago for reasons unknown, and was now living in a apartment on the east side of the kingdom after his wife left him due to him working with the Green Hood.
Since we were wanted men we traveled on the rooftops to avoid being seen. We had to take it slow in order to be as quite as possible considering some officers were strolling close to some of the building we were leaping. If a officer was near a building we waited patiently for him to walk away before jumping from it so that he wouldn't see us.
Eventually we reached his apartment. His room was on the third floor, he left his window open which made it a whole lot easier for us to enter. The two of us shot a arrow at the outer wall of the building and glided smoothly to the window and saw that Commissioner Sawyer was sitting on his couch drinking a beer while watching the late night movie.
"Commissioner Sawyer." Ollie said as the two of us crawled in.
"Oh God I thought you was retired." Sawyer said, being took by surprise.
"I'm back in the game." Ollie said
"I see you have also recruited a new member." Sawyer said staring at me.
"I volunteered." I corrected him
"So what do I call you." Sawyer asked me
"Just call me the Archer" I said.
"I know you have been retired from the police field Commissioner but I hope that you can still help us with a certain case we are working on." Ollie said
"That depends, what case is it?" Sawyer asked, taking a sip of his beer.
"We are going after the Wolf Pack" I said. The news of the Wolf Pack made Sawyer drop his beer. Apparently the mere mention of the Wolf Pack frightened him because he then rushed to his open window and closed it as well as turned off the lights in the house and locked the front door.
"I'll tell you everything I know about them, but we must be quite about this, for you don't know just how dangerous they really are, because if you did you would be just as scared of them as I am."
"Then let us know." Ollie said
"Follow me." Sawyer said, leading us to his office. "So what do you need to know."
"First off some of his members are people that were assumed dead along time ago but for some reason turned up alive" I said "Do you know anything about that."
"Actually I have a good feeling I know what's responsible for that." Sawyer said opening his desk drawer and pulling out a notepad that had what looked like a watery pit drawn on it.
"When I was investigating the Wolf Pack I stumbled upon a strange ceremony of theirs. What I witnessed I swear was out of a Science fiction movie. Their leader brought a guy who had just been executed and dropped him into this pit that you see here in this drawing. Then they sung a small song and then he woke up and was brought back to the dead. Then the leader who was old, wrinkled and pale took a dip in the pit himself and while singing the same song exited the pit young and healthy looking. I couldn't believe what I saw."
"So that explains why he fought like a young man and why those goons of his were people that had been executed before, because they were brought from the dead." I said
"I'll never forget the song that he was singing." Sawyer said "Pit gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt, change the fates design, save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine."
"That song, I remember hearing it once." I said, "It was from Princess Rapunzel except she said flower instead of pit. Back when her hair was longer she sang that song to heal the woman that held her captive till she was rescued. And that pit, it was the same as the flower that gave Rapunzel her magic hair. The magic flower came from a sun drop that fell to Earth and grew into a magic flower with healing powers."
"Apparently another one fell into the pit and caused a magical pit that can raise the dead and keep a person young forever." Sawyer said "After I discovered that pit I did some research on the Alpha Male. Apparently there has been reports of a guy in a wolf mask causing terror for eight centuries. Most people think that they are the off springs of the previous Alpha Male but what if it is the same person? What if this magical pit has been around for centuries and the Alpha Male has been using it to keep him alive for more than eight hundred years?"
"How do we destroy the pit?" Ollie asked
"That I do not know. But maybe you don't have to destroy it." Sawyer said
"What do you mean?"
"The pit as we know heals the dieing and deceased. But what if you put a healthy person in there?"
"It could have the opposite affect." I said
"You knock the Alpha Male into the pit while he is young and healthy, you could kill him once and for all." Sawyer said.
"We have one more question Sawyer." Ollie said "We have reasons to believe that the Alpha Male is secretly a employee of the king Do you know anything about that.
"I had my suspicions." Sawyer said "And it was those suspicions that led me to being forced to retire. Once the King's adviser found out I was inspecting the royal staff he forced me to retire, said this case was messing with my mind. But I still believe that whoever is the Alpha Male is a employee of the King, which is why he has been yet to be caught because whenever someone get's close to figuring out who he is, they are forced to drop it. And he has the King wrapped around his finger."
"Do you think you know who it is?" I asked
"Actually I am nearly positive I know who he is. Sadly I was forced to be quite, by threat he would kill my family." Sawyer said
"I can make sure they are protected." Ollie said "Please Commissioner, if you think you know who it is give us a name.
Suddenly, just when it looked like Sawyer was going to tell us who he thought was the Alpha Male a bullet came crashing threw the window, striking Sawyer in the neck.
"NO!" Ollie cried as Sawyer got hit by the bullet.
Sawyer fell to the ground and Ollie grabbed him and tried to save him. But it was no use, he died there on the floor before he could give us a name.
There was no doubt anymore that Whoever was the Alpha Male was a employee of the King. And he would do anything to make sure his identity was remain hidden. Well he just pissed off the wrong people. For I swore on Commissioner Sawyers body that we were going to find him, and we was going to take him down.
That's it for this chapter, things are getting more heated as Eugene is getting closer to figuring out who the Alpha Male is. And do you like the introduction of Merida and her new team? Let me know in a review and I'll catch you later.
