Wow...I am so sorry for the VERY late update...It been like... two months...more...?...yikes...sorry...
It was morning and Maki met up with the other lieutenants in a conference room in the Mergton City Police Station. Spread on the tables were all the files relating to the mission including Lycid's death and the current pathway of the Union jewel.
"This mission is going to be tougher than I had orginally planned." Maki admitted. "Not only are we dealing with natural disasters but a murder and theft. No question this is surrounding the Union jewel. We need to stop whoever is behind this before they get that jewel."
"So what's the plan?" Lucy asked.
"Well based off of the police files. The Union jewel is leaving tomorrow and will be sent to another city. No doubt that the compass that Nami and Orihime found yesterday is what he used to follow the jewel up to this point. Without it, he will no longer be able to follow the jewel. This is the only chance that our target has to get the jewel. We need to get to that museum before he does. Let's go." All four girls got up and started walking out of the room. Maki handed Detective Tarks all of the files. "Thank you for your cooperation. Sorry for any inconveniences." The detective quickly saluted in respect.
"It was no problem ma'am!" He half-shouted. Maki sweat dropped and scratched the back of her head in awkwardness.
"Please. Call me Maki. Ma'am doesn't really suit me that well." Tarks nodded quickly. Maki walked out of the police station. It was time to end this mission.
It was around 2200 hours, the sun had already set, most residents were asleep, and, most importantly, the museum was closed. Aldinach looked down at the museum with a smirk on his face.
"Let's get this over with." Aldinach disappeared with the wind and reappeared in the museum halls. He walked down the halls and his footsteps echoed. When he had first came here, he had gotten accustomed to the place and where every piece of art was located.
"Is someone there?" A guard walked around the corner with a flashlight. In a spilt second, Aldinach appeared behind the guard and snapped his neck, killing him the process.
"Can't have you warning anybody." The guard's corpse fell to the floor. Aldinach walked over the body and continued on his way. He reached the main exhibit, the Union Jewel. Finally! He can take the dumb thing and go home. Aldinach walked over to the glass case where the jewel was presented only to find it was empty. "W-what?!" Aldinach got a closer look. "T-that's impossible...it should be here!" Aldinach started growling in anger and broke the glass case in fury.
"Looking for something?" Aldinach turned around to see a young woman with long orange hair, a bikini top, and jean holding his target. Aldinach created lighting in the palm of his hand and fired it in raging fury. The woman was protected from his lighting by an almost light orange shield. "Thanks Orihime." The shield deactivated and fairy type things return to a girl who also had orange hair. Aldinach quickly grabbed a knife only to have his hand get caught in a whip. He looked over and saw a girl with blond hair holding the whip a smirk. Aldinach growled even louder before there was a heavy wind circling him. He grabbed the whip and lighting struck it breaking it and releasing his hand.
'Don't get in my way you bitches!" A sudden wind sent all of the girls flying into the walls of the museum. Nami accidentally dropped the jewel due to the sudden attack. Aldinach walked over to the jewel and was about to pick it up when it suddenly levitated and went flying towards Maki. Aldinach sent a deadly glare her way before his eyes widened a bit. He then flashed an evil smirk. His expression went from anger to cocky. "I remember you. You are the Head's Lieutenant are you not?" Maki did not answer and Aldinach laughed manically in amusement. "This is just too good. I can't wait to rip you to pieces." The ground began to shake violently and at the speed of lightning Aldinach appeared behind Maki kicked her into the wall. The Union Jewel went flying and Aldinach caught. He then sent multiple wind gusts that were violent enough to cut through skin. Orihime created a shield which instantly broke after the first set of winds. "Die!" Aldinach laughed as he was about to send another set of wind gusts.
"Now Hinata!" Aldinach felt his entire right arm go completely numb. He turned around to see Hinata and quickly jumped back before she reached any other pressure points. Aldinach was VERY annoyed. 'They just keep coming!'
"Give up Aldinach." Aldinach recognized the voice that was coming from his ear piece.
"Shax?" Aldinach asked. "What do you want? I'm a bit busy at the moment."
"Return now." Aldinach was shocked. "You have the jewel do you not?"
"Yea. But I need these bitches to pay for what they did!" Aldinach practically shouted.
"Your business here is done. Leave." Aldinach tightened his fists before grunting.
"You bitches are lucky that my boss is impatient." With that, Aldinach left in an instant leaving the girls in the museum. Tarks and the rest of the police force arrived shortly after.
"You mean to tell me he got away!" Tarks was infuriated with the outcome. "That theft has the Union Jewel and you expect me to leave him be?" Maki and Tarks were alone in an alleyway.
"I wouldn't say he has it..." Maki reached out of her pocket and showed the Union Jewel. "I need to take this jewel back to HQ. If I kept it on this planet, no doubt more innocent people would die. Do not tell anyone; it's better that everyone thought that he stole the jewel." Maki explained.
"B-But why me?" Tarks asked with slight hesitation. "I'm merely the town's head detective. If anything, this matter should be brought to the government." Maki simply flashed a smile.
"I trust you over a bunch of politicians. Besides, as soon as it is safe I will give the jewel back. I promise." Tarks stood there speechless and Maki started to walk away. "I'm sure you are a professional when it comes to dealing with the press. Please keep this secret for the safety of your world and the world of others." Maki was completely out of sight leaving a wide-eyed Tarks behind.
Maki and the other girls returned back to HQ. Orihime had healed all of the wounds and they all went to get some rest. Maki on the other hand was walking to the command center for the training field. It had been two weeks now so training was probably almost over. Maki walked in and saw Teru sitting and observing the trainees with caution.
"I guess you can take things seriously." Teru only scoffed in response not even looking at her. "Did they all pass?"
"With flying colors." Teru handed Maki some papers. "Over the course of a two weeks, different groups have achieved different things. The team consisting of Juvia, Levy, Ino, Ten-Ten, Shino, Chad, and Brook turned out to be the most resourceful group but had some difficulties between some members. The team consisting of Happy, Carla, Lily, Kon, and Chopper was the group that worked the best together but they were not powerful enough to face any of the enemies, just survive. The team consisting of Gray, Gajeel, Sasuke, Kiba, Renji, Uryu, and Sanji faced challenges easily but they lack in strategy. The team that consisted of Shikamaru, Chouji, Kisuke, Hitsugaya, Usopp, and Zoro was very tactical. The team that consisted of Sakura, Sai, Rukia, Hiyori, Wendy, Lee, and Franky was very well-rounded. Finally my favorite team was the team that consisted of Erza, Mirajane, Rangiku, Yoruichi, and Robin because they kicked some serious ass." To think that the report was actually looking somewhat professional...
"Well if your training is done, then Hikari-sama should be done soon then too." Teru nodded in agreement.
"I've always wondered what her training is like in there." Teru started organizing his final report. "I heard that it was a training exercise for those of the Saiyan race."
"I have heard. It sounds difficult if it was meant to challenge Saiyans." Teru chuckled a bit.
"Well we need to get them ready for what may come." Teru stated seriously. "How was your end of the spectrum?"
"I ran into one of Gaap's demons." Teru suddenly got out of his chair and placed his hands on her shoulder.
"What?! Why did you not say anything before?" He yelled. "You are not suppose to be confronting them. They are dangerous." Maki ticked with irritation.
"I'm not a child, Teru. Plus, I got this." Maki held out the Union Jewel.
"What the hell Maki?! You took one of the planet's most priceless treasures!"
"Gaap seem to be after these. I'm going to do more digging but I have a feeling he needs this for something important." Teru grunted a bit before returning to his chair.
"And I'm the careless one?" He questioned softly. "Well you better start working so that you have a full report when Hikari gets out of her training." Maki nodded and left the room. Teru looked at the screen that showed Gray, Gajeel, Sasuke, Kiba, Renji, Uryu, and Sanji's group. This group was made up of the assigned Third in Commands. The assignments however were not official. "I think he would make a better Third in Command..." Teru said to no one in particular.
Who's going to get promoted I wonder? Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry again for the late update. I will probably update once a month at least cause I got a lot of school work to do. See you in the next chapter! We will be seeing Hikari and our favorite main characters. Thanks again for your patience.
Naruto King: I probably won't add avatar or blue exorcist to this story, however, I have plans for soul eater. Thank you for reviewing again!
