WOW ME, THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO WRITE!

SORRY EVERYONE FOR THE NEARLY A YEAR LONG DELAY 0/_/0

ENJOY THE NEXT CHAPTER INSTALLMENT

Our WH of the past is set adrift in a sea of new and confusing information of the future. Aria in their world isn't really Aria, Edea Florence is Allen's mother, Warz is their enemy (in the past and future), Lee is working for WH, and Kun used to be human but is now a cat. What will pop up next? Keep reading to find out.

ARE YOU WITH ME OR NOT?

Reaching the basement, everyone was still dumbfounded with the bombardment of new information. Everyone was thinking of the same question, "Was any of it true?"

Tarras: If this was true, then our whole organization in all corners of the world will fall within seconds, we wouldn't have a fighting chance. But that's the worst-case scenario, right? Besides, where is my future self? Does the Doberg Family still exist to this day?

Xing (Yue): Lee? He's here? Why would he be working for WH? Even if it is the future, there should be no way that his future self would even spare the thought of joining WH. He's probably off on a killing spree in our world as we speak, creating more havoc in Bairong than there has to be. I just don't get it.

Ryuhwan: Teacher, why didn't you tell me that you had a son? Why wasn't I aware of this? Was that why you excommunicated me so long ago? I should have seen it as soon as I saw his face; they practically look the same.

Tasha and Halloween: The Aria that we have been chasing for two years now is half-fake? But she has the earrings that I gave her for her birthday. If what the Aria here said was true, then where is my real sister and when did the switch happen? And, why didn't I notice the switch?

Cooga: Warz wouldn't turn his back on WH. He hates all witches with a passion. He wouldn't side with them. Would he? I mean he does keep to himself a lot, and sometimes I hear him talking to some low class WH member… What if? No, can't be. And if Kun was human before, what caused him to turn into a cat?

As everyone continued to ramble in their thoughts, Allen and Aria opened a large metal door at the end of the stairs. Upon opening it was the facility's grand garage. Filled with sparks from torches, and the buzz from chainsaws against plastic and metal; the noises brought everyone back into attention with a startle. Allen and Aria continued to walk across the length of the garage, ignoring the noise as if it weren't there, the rest of the WH members covered ears from the piercing sounds. The group settled at a long wooden table, out of place, at the other end of the room. The table was littered with un-straightened chairs, empty lunch boxes, files, pictures, scribbles, scratches, and doodles marks from years of group discussions and strategy meetings. Allen carefully picked out 3 manila folders and a 3 large boxes from the cluttered table, trying to ensure that nothing was disturbed. The last 2 folders were small compared to the first, which was torn at the crevice. Practically ripped if not for a few strips on the binding that were desperately keeping itself together. Allen then moved his workspace to a less cluttered metal table, no seats, practically empty, and signaled everyone to circle around the table. Once everyone settled, Aria's entire body glowed a soft yellow aura, and the whole group was surrounded by a wall of light; cutting out the background noise.

"Now then," started Allen, "lets begin. In these three folders are the profiles of our current case separated into 3 groups: Red, Yellow and Green. Green indicates those who were identified as K.I.A., we're trying to see how they all connect to each other, so far nothing much to go off of. Yellow indicates prime suspects, which seems to be a growing number of people. Red indicates the felons that we know are guilty with the proof of an extensive amount of evidence. Yes, Warz is on the list, pretty high up on the list at that. These boxes here contain all of the recorded evidence that we collected at each murder case."

Allen opened up the Green folder first, taking out the profile pictures of every WH operative that were K.I.A. in the related case at the end of the table. The list was extensive, 13 men and 11 women, 24 in total. Going from highest rank to lowest, in regards to the past WH system, the group recognized most of their future counterpart companions, ranging from Black Class to Green. Then, Allen opened the Yellow folder in the middle of the table, passing out the pictures of each suspect in a row at the middle of the table, 14 in total, most from the lower ranks and unfamiliar to the group. Allen finally opened the Red folder at the other end of the table and sure enough, Warz's face showed up second after a guy named Eun Ryu, whom Ryuhwan fought sometime ago, and immediately recognized him at first glance.

"That's it for the color coding, the box here we will open at another time," Allen gestured to Aria to take of the rest.

"There are only two common trends that we can connect in all of the K.I.A. murders. There is a missing ring and ring finger from the male agents, and the missing rank earrings from the female agents, which are required for each member to wear respectively. It's a reliable indicator issued by the WH Central as a way to identify the agent and his or her security clearance." Aria explained, parting her hair to show one of her earrings. "Each accessory set is unique, each agent creates his or her own design and that is put into our systems, these designs stick with you for life, there is no changing them at all."

"What would the criminals want with an earring from the women and severed ring finger from the men?" Ryuhwan asked.

"That is something that we are currently trying to figure out," Aria replied, "We know that all of the 13 deceased male agents are married, some with kids. So the theory is that the dirt-bags are sending us a message that they would target the families next. But so far, none of the families were attacked, threatened nor approached by anyone suspicious," Aria replied.

"What does the evidence say about Warz-hyung's involvement?" Cooga questioned.

Aria rummaged through the box and pulled out a plain Paige color manila folder, half inch thick.

"This is everything that we've gathered at each case. The common factor in this folder are Warz's finger prints being lifted at every crime scene, both on the landscape and the deceased", Aria explained, as she passes the evidence case folder over to Cooga.

While Cooga was going through evidence, Allen continued to explain the current situation that WH of the future had to go through, and the group could only listen in awe and in worry to know that WH has fallen so low on the government food chain to practically be non-existent to the public. As the discussion continued ensued, the door to the elevator opened up dropping off Ryu, un-hooded, Xing with a wide smile on his face and 2 other individuals, one shrouded under a low hood and a long trench coat, and the other in a long trench coat and black sunglasses. They crept up behind the group and listened in on the conversation till…

Allen: Darras, Lee. I take it that you are back from the field with_

Darras and Lee: "Yeah, more evidence…" said with a heavy sigh.

Xing: And I'm here with debby-downers with more good news

The WH member quickly turned a 180 to see the newcomers of the discussion. Tarras was staring at the cloaked reflection of himself and Yue stared in shock to see both Xing and Lee standing next to each other.

Xing: So what do you want to start with good or bad?

Allen: Bad…

Lee and Darras slipped passed the wall of light and un-hooded themselves, Daras revealing Tarras' face but with eyes that looked like a dead fish and Lee with a scar, not on his eye but right next to the brow. Other than the small differences, everything else was the same at first glance.

Lee placed a postal box size package on the table and Daras placed blue folders on top.

"We've finished our reports on the Field of Light. It seems we can begin the launch at your command. But…" Darras reported in a raspy voice.

"But?" Allen pressed for continuation

"But we hit a new snag that can prove to be troublesome, if not fatal to any of the teams, and the effects vary to each individual member." Lee added in, "It's another witch but this particular witch can summon a support that has the ability to bring up the illusion of the past, past mistakes, regrets, sorrows, worst case scenarios, you name it she can get the supporter to create the illusions and force the teams to scattered, and ultimately defeated.

"And the Good news…" Allen asks, sighing at the new trouble found, while staring at Xing, who looked like the energizer bunny on a caffeine-powered motor.

"Ok, so I said that I was running DNA tests on the two bloods found from the John Doe downstairs and on the totaled car on every database that I have authorization in and I finally got a match for both. John Doe is no longer a doe, it's a civilian named Doh Hoon Ta, a business associate that did many private projects in coordination with Eun Ryu, our top hit man. The blood found in the totaled car was Eun Ryu, I'd say he was wounded enough to stagger, seeing as the blood pattern originated at the end of the passenger seat." Xing paused for a second to catch his breath, energizer bunny needs a cool down before starting up again, "and I was able to back trace the money even further to the point where I think it's the end of the paper money trail. There is only one common factor of where the money is being distributed" Xing stopped there and just stared back at Allen, jittery in hopes that Allen would ask the magic words.

"Don't make me slap you like do to Tasha and Hal" Allen replied.

"The money is found at every business that Warz operates at. The money stolen in the case 6 months ago is solved, Warz hired street thugs in order to raid the 3 banks and spent all of the money on his hanky business." Xing answered.

"Warz is seriously in trouble now huh?" Halloween asked rhetorically.

Everyone in the group directed their gazes at Cooga, who had finished reading over the evidence reports against Warz. His expression was blank.

Allen stared at him, knowing fully well that this is difficult for Cooga especially to accept the current situation. He then approached him with the airs of a leader, "Before we start our real mission, I have one question for you Cooga. Are you with me or not?"

Cooga paused and for a while nothing was said.
