Innocents Ch. 16

Reviewer:

SocietyMember: Thank you. Ah, so embarrassed! Why?! Maybe it's because lack of sleep. Yes, more thick chickens, I love ZEM ALL!

Begin:

They were all on the plane together, ready to land in a town very near Bentalia. The town itself didn't have an airport, but Hetown did! He checked his clock. 2: 34, it read.

"Well, this is it. All the way from Turkey! I can't wait to meet that bastard, again!" Sadik grinned under his mask.

"Are you that hellbent on meeting Heracles? This fight is with us against prisoners, only." A blond girl with green eyes rolled them. She was here to see her brother, luckily she was allowed to come along.

"I'm surprised Romulus didn't bring zee whole Mafia there in the first place. I vonder how Gilbert is doing with ze sweet Madeline, eh?" Francis Bonnefoy, Gilbert and Antonio's best friend, was sitting in the plane with a glass of water in his hands. He was returning from France because he wanted to help Gilbert kick ass. How could he say no?

"Oh my God, the boss is totally like, going to let us fight!" Feliks Łukasiewicz sighed. "I totally know that Toris will be there! We can like, save some people and stuff."

"Heheh Feliks, you talk funny! Anyway, kicking ass originated in Korea, da ze!" The fifteen year-old younger brother of Chun grinned wickedly at a glaring Polish man.

"Yong Soo, stop bothering Feliks." Monica sighed. The girl with long hair and glasses was playing against Chun's younger sister, Lein Chung. The girl didn't speak, and her hat was covering most of her face.

"Fine." Yong Soo grumbled.

The plane had carried the rest of Romulus' Mafia. If the bad guy wanted a fight, by golly he'd have one.

…...

"Big brother," The twelve year old smiled. "Where are we going?"

"We're going to a safe place, Lilly." Vash said as he and his little sister walked outside. Marcello was leading them to the path, and every now and then, he'd give Lilly a few shy glances. Vash gave him a few glares, but decided that it wouldn't stop the young heathen from looking at Lilly.

"That's good. How's Mr. Romulus, Marcello?" She asked.

"He's fine. So is my big sisters. Feliciana still looks like a boy, and Lovina is now sporting that look! I wonder if they would switch personalities?" Marcello joked with Lilly. She had been in a bad mood because she was forced to leave home for a while, and he was trying to cheer her up.

She giggled. Vash gave the kid some credit, but he still wouldn't let the runt get too near his sister.

…...

The good news was that he'd spill less blood. The bad news is, with almost the whole population gone, this town would be basically useless. No matter, he'd get people's stuff, leave the prisoners here to waste, and go back to his hometown to sell it. He'll find a new plan to get Romulus' Mafia. He was still 'setting the hounds loose', as he called it, so Bentalia would be a waste of saving; it'd be a corrupt city filled with prisoners and other bad stuff, the people would either die or leave. What did he care? He was a criminal. The clock started ticking.

…...

"My plan is that we let him," Hercules talked to his new comrades.

"What? Are you crazy, aru?!" Chun gaped at him.

"No. If we let him, he wouldn't shoot us. This is part A. Part B is when some of us stay outside and start shooting prisoners, bringing them to a low number. Plan C, happens when we find and kill the bastard."

"Good idea, but what are our positions?"

"Romulus brought more of his Mafia, they'd be drawn to that. What I'm suggesting, is that the Mafia members already here will be the ones who ambush the prisoners. Feli, Lovi, you'll be guarding the nurses' office. Amelia, Arthur, Ludwig, and Antonio, I want you all to gather the people who didn't leave into the prison. Willingly or not, they have to be safe, and you guard them. Chun, Ivan, guard the main hall." Heracles said, getting his battle face on.

"Hey, bastard!" A voice reached his ears. Oh no...

"What about us?" Romulus' other members stood proudly in front of them.

"How in the hell did you get here, aru?!"

"Easy, we totally went through the path, and we came here." Feliks grinned.

"Aniiki!" Yong Soo hugged his older sister, Chun.

"Go away, aru..." She grumbled.

"Well, Sadik, Lien, Feliks, you guard the kitchen. The rest of you, will help with our ambush."

"What are we going to ambush them with, rocks?" Sadik rolled his eyes.

"Rocks originated in Korea, da ze!"

"No. My personal army."

"Please be joking, Herc!" Sadik rolled his eyes. "Your ambush would never work! They're...well, cats!"

"Vait, cats?" Ludwig looked confused

"Yes. They obey me, and they kick ass." Heracles said softly.

"So, where are the Mafia Five?" Yong Soo asked, changing the subject.

"They're still in the cafe." Lovina answered. Everybody was sitting inside at the table. Heracles came in and announced his plan.

"I'll get them!" Antonio said. "Should I get some weapons, too?"

"Please do. We don't want to die." Lovina answered again, rolling her eyes.

"Alright!"

"Hey Ivan, where's your younger sister, aru?" Chun asked.

"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you! She went to Belarus to take care of business! She'll be here tomorrow!"

…...

Everybody came to Hetown, the neighboring town. People's eyes widened as they saw a whole lot of people come out of the forest. Their mouths agape, they stood still.

"Ve like to speak to your leader." Legolas said. They stared.

"Um...please?" Gilbert added.

"S-so," A man spoke. "What ma-makes you c-come here?"

"Bentalia's prisoners are going to be loose any day because a bad guy wants revenge. We wanted to act now and speak to your leader if these people could stay." Romulus said. Some people nodded and rushed to the mayor's office. It was funny how everyone stared at them. Maybe because not everyone comes out of the forest unharmed and alive.

…...

"Are we ready?"

"No. It's only 4: 23, Why the rush? First my plans involved killing the grandchildren of Romulus in order to weaken him, but I have better plans."

"What are they?"

"Bentalia is a secluded place from the rest of the world, in a way. It has little value. I plan on killing Romulus' Mafia through the prisoners, of course."

"How will we put them back into the prison? And everything will remain the same?"

"We're not. You and me are ransacking people's belongings, since they have evacuated, and then we're going to set the prisoner's loose on the Mafia. While that, you and me are separating the goods, and go our separate ways."

"What about m-"

"They're fine. All the people had evacuated, anyway. Hell, bring them."

"I...I like that idea. Maybe I can set things right with them again."

…...

"S', th't's h'g' b'ttl' x." Berwald said, glancing at Antonio's ax as the six walked on towards the prison.

"I don't know what you said, but thanks!" Antonio smiled as he carried the weapons, including his Spanish battle ax that he got from his family.

"...N' pr'bl'm." Berwald grumbled. Tiina patted his shoulder. "Don't feel bad, Berwald! You know we know what you mean!" She gave him a reassuring smile.

Berwald smiled a teeny bit back. He didn't want to make everyone shocked that he could smile. Hell, the world would probably end if he did.

…...

The people of Bentalia were to stay in Hetown until they saw the beacon lighted up from far away. Romulus, Gilbert, Gilbird, Madeline, and Legolas were reaching Bentalia. To be truthful, the hike had lasted only an hour. They didn't know when whoever the bad guy is would strike, but they were prepared for it soon.

…...

"Soon, sir." His henchman glanced at his watch.

"Yes, but I've got a change of plans." The man smile as he put on his Turban.

…...

Yay! Chapter sixteen, wow. To be honest, this is the longest story I wrote that got so many reviews! Thank you all, once again. I will hug you!
