Chapter Seven
New Attack
Sometime later, Diablo returned to the hideout to meet the Disciples.
After he had left Angela's house, he had done what he had set out to do before he got distracted and had managed to find some food in the storeroom of a shop then left some money on the shelves and flown back to where the Disciples were hiding.
No sooner did he arrive in the basement than Samson walked up to the steps and greeted him.
"Where you been boss?" the panther asked.
"Been busy, but I brought back food! Like I promised!" the Raven replied placing the bags in Samson's paws before walking into the basement to meet the others.
Chastity had been entertaining Regan with some dolls, Lamia was reading, Rex was doing press ups and Ravage was lifting weights with two of his arms and was holding a bottle of water with his third and wiping his brow with a towel he held in his fourth.
"Hey boss! You're back!" the mutant locust piped up as he carefully put the weights down. "You got a plan on when we attack those Nazi fuckers you spotted?"
Regan also looked up hopeful and licked her lips.
"Are you okay Diablo?" Chastity asked as she saw the look on the Raven's face "What happened out there?"
Lamia lowered her book and Rex stood up, they all saw the Raven's face and they wondered what had taken place.
Diablo said nothing but sat down in a worn leather chair and looked towards the curtained window above.
He thought about Angela, and after listening to her in her room, he felt sorry for her, hearing how she, like him had lost a sibling, he wanted to know more about her, and what had happened to her brother.
He had wanted to stay longer, but he knew he had his Disciples to think about, but he hoped to go back to her house and hopefully find out more information.
"Boss? What happened?" then he heard the voice of Rex bringing him back to earth.
"Boss?" Rex asked, "You seemed distracted when I called you."
Diablo looked at the mutant Doberman.
"There was an incident." He reported "A woman was about to be mugged, after I had let you know the location of those men, I heard a woman scream and I had to investigate."
"You sought some action?" Ravage asked, "Why didn't you alert us?"
"Quiet Hopper!" Samson shot over then looked at Diablo "Carry on Boss."
Diablo sighed.
"I saw a woman get thrown into an alleyway by a mugger, and I swooped down to attack, I would have had my way with the fucker, but the noise alerted the humans!"
"Damn!" Rex sighed.
Regan looked disappointed.
"What happened to the woman?" asked Lamia in concern "She wasn't hurt was she?"
"Luckily no." Diablo said, "In fact when she looked at me, she fainted, not surprised." He added as he looked at his taloned hand.
"She saw you!?" Chastity cried in worry "Oh dear!"
"That's not good…" Ravage said as he looked to the window.
"That doesn't mean we have to skip town?" he asked "Not now! Not when we got bozos to bust!"
"No!" Diablo said quickly "Luckily, if anything, she'll think what she saw was someone in a costume, almost everyone thinks we're just costumed vigilantes and our victims have been deemed insane or on drugs when they saw us."
"True that!" Samson commented "It's not like anyone's going to believe there are mutant animals in the world punishing sinners."
The other Disciples agreed then Lamia turned to Diablo.
"What about the girl?" she asked, "Was she alright?"
"She was luckily." Diablo replied, "I was going to fly her home when she was still unconscious, but she started to wake before I could do so, so I fled, but I followed her to make sure that mugger didn't try to attack her again."
"Thank goodness." Chastity said then smiled "You are noble!"
"Thank you." Diablo replied gratefully.
"At least she's safe." Rex said.
"Yeah!" Regan agreed "Safe and at home?"
"Indeed, Ankle Biter!" Diablo nodded.
Regan grinned.
"I'm glad." Chastity smiled.
"A good deed done man!" Samson smirked.
"So, what do we do about those men you spotted?" Ravage asked.
"It won't be long before they decide to attack, especially since they spotted a Jewish man in the town." Diablo mused "I suggest we act tonight!"
"Music to my ears!" Samson smirked.
"If they're at the same address right this minute, we better act now." Rex suggested.
Diablo nodded.
"Then let's not waste time!" he said, "Gather what you need, and let's pay them a visit!" he smirked as he flexed his talons and Regan licked her lips as she bared her fangs, excited to taste the blood of the sinners.
An hour later, the Disciples arrived at their destination that Rex had directed them too after he had scouted the men.
"So, they're in there huh?" Diablo asked as he studied the house just outside of the town.
It was a large house just outside of the town and surrounded by trees, and they could see a couple of lighted windows.
Rex nodded.
"I saw all of them go in there." He said, "They might be having a meeting as we speak."
"Well let's go find out!" Regan said eagerly as she started to move forward but Diablo stopped her.
"Patience little one!" he said, "One thing at a time!"
"How do we do this?" Lamia asked.
Diablo frowned as he looked at the house.
"I'm not sure." He said, "Its rather large, and I got no idea how many people are in there."
"Do you think there's more in there then there are of us?" Ravage asked nervously.
"The number of men doesn't mean they are the strongest!" Rex said "They are weak humans! We are Mutants and we have more strength in our arms, than they have in their whole bodies."
Diablo put a taloned finger to his lips and motioned the Disciples to follow him and they crept towards the house.
Rex sniffed the air as he did, and he stopped before holding up his fist.
"Halt!" he said in a loud whisper.
"What is it?" Diablo asked.
"There's a dog nearby!" Rex reported "I can smell it!"
Samson too sniffed the air, as did Regan.
"He's right!" he agreed.
"I smell it too!" Regan said.
"What type?" the Raven asked with a frown.
"A German Shepherd!" Rex snarled "One of the most famous of guard dogs! I remember we used them in the army!"
"Damn!" Diablo growled "Means we'll be detected! If that mutt smells us!"
"What do we do?" Chastity asked.
Diablo thought for a moment then turned to the Dove.
"Follow me!" he said then he turned to the others "Wait here for my signal!"
"Boss?" Samson asked.
"Trust me!" Diablo replied then opened his wings and took to the sky, Chastity following him.
As the two bird mutants took to the sky Chastity looked at Diablo.
"What's your plan?" she asked.
"Shh!" Diablo hissed "I'm improvising!"
Chastity gulped but she followed the Raven as they flew over the trees and towards the house and they hovered for a moment.
"Can you see the dog?" Chastity asked as her eyes scanned the area below.
"Yes!" Diablo said and he pointed downwards to a kennel near the front door where there was a large brown German shepherd relaxing there.
"It's tied up." He spoke then started to lower himself.
Chastity was about to ask what he was going to do, but as she opened her beak, she saw the front door open, and she gasped in shock.
"Boss!" she cried out to warn Diablo and the Raven hovered upwards as he too spotted the door opening.
"Damn." He cursed, then he saw a young boy no older than fifteen walk out with a bowl of dog food.
"Hey Adolf! Dinner!" he called and the dog who had been half asleep looked up and started to bark excitedly that he was being fed.
"So, they named the dog Adolf huh?" Diablo asked and sneered as he watched the teenager walk over to the dog and get him to sit before placing the food before him.
Chastity nodded.
"Why am I not surprised?" she asked.
"They worship that Jewish murderer!" Diablo growled as he watched the dog munch on his dog food, then he heard the teenager speak again.
"Wish these were dirty Jewish guts!"
Chastity gasped and Diablo glowered then he turned to the dove.
"Stay here!" he said then he started to swoop down.
Chastity gasped as she watched, and she soon saw the Raven fly down towards the kennel then reach out with his talons and grab the teenager!
No sooner did Diablo grab the teenager then he flew up back to Chastity.
The teenager was so shocked as well as terrified as he was grabbed but before he had a chance to scream, Diablo pulled him up and grabbed him as well as put a hand over his mouth.
"Gotcha Nazi lover!" he snarled.
As that happened the dog started barking in terror and Diablo motioned with his head to get Chastity to follow him.
The dove was stunned but she nodded and followed Diablo to where the other Disciples were waiting.
Meanwhile Rex had been sniffing the air as well as remaining observant and he soon saw Diablo and Chastity return with a teenage hostage in tow!
"The heck?" Ravage cried as he saw Diablo appear and drop the teenager before them.
"Grab him!" The Raven barked and Samson and Rex instantly jumped forward and grabbed the teenager who had been shocked as he was dropped and didn't have a chance to run or even scream as he was grabbed by the panther and Doberman.
"Who is he?" Lamia asked.
"A guest!" Diablo replied, "Chastity and I spotted him as he was feeding that mutt!"
"Tends out the dog is called Adolf after that Hitler bastard!" Chastity said.
"Oh really?" Rex snarled as he looked at the teenager who struggled under his and Samson's grip.
"Get off me you freaks!" the teenager shouted "Get off me!"
"Shut up!" Samson snarled as he grabbed the teenager's throat.
"You made a big mistake!" the teenager gasped.
"Oh really?" Diablo smirked as he walked over and produced a sharp talon before lowering it to the teenager's face "I beg to differ, your family and their friends had already made a mistake, and we're going to make them pay!"
He then placed his talon on the teenager's face.
"You're the first of the many sinners in their to pay for their crimes, and believe me when I say….the price….is big!"
So Diablo has felt sympathy for Angela and plans to return to find out more, yet he knows he has his duties to fulfil, and he and his disciples have began their next attack!
Stay tuned to see what happens next!
