147  The Super Squad Catch Bad Guys

As the rest of the girls watched Annalise hug her mother, they felt like they were intruding on a tender reunion. All of them already heard about Joanne from either Anna or Malachi, and now that they were seeing her for the first time they weren't sure what to say to her. After all, it wasn't everyday that you came across the head of a government agency like this. The four of them simply stood around motionlessly like they were waiting to be introduced. "Hey, so umm... Are we sure that Malachi didn't fuck her mom too..?" Serana asked quietly. "Because now that I'm looking at her, she really seems like his type." Sei became annoyed and pinched her daughter hard on the butt to silence her. But as upset as she was, she couldn't ignore the truth of her words. Joanne was every bit as pretty as Anna was, with a mature body and a seemingly warm yet fiery personality. She was exactly the sort of woman who Malachi would be attracted to. Inadvertently, Sei ended up making herself a bit jealous. After having an injection of Mal's essence into her body, she and the girls shared his heightened emotions, as such they were more likely to feel these intense fits of possessiveness. For the first time, Sei waffled a bit on whether or not putting someone into an unending coma was really such a cruel thing to do. "O-Oh, umm I should introduce you." Anna suddenly pulled away from her mother and held out her hand towards the group. "These are my friends; Serana, Aisha, Aubrey, and Sei."

Aubrey: "Hi there." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Aisha: "It's nice to meet you."

Sei: "Hello.."

Serana: "I'm her BEST friend. I shouldn't be lumped in with these other guys, I deserve my own special class!" Joanne wanted to say that she already knew all of these girls, due to her less than legal surveillance of her daughter over the years but decided against it. She wasn't a stalker or anything, just a concerned mother who loved her daughter very much!

There was a difference!

While Joanne was wrestling with the proper way to introduce herself, a rustling sound occurred from within the rubble. Cassius and Griffin were significantly better off than the girls initially thought, and the only real sign of damage were their robes and face masks that had been destroyed. Cassius was revealed to be a pale looking man with cobalt blue eyes and short black hair. On the other hand Griffin had a darker complexion with a bald head and amber eyes. With their robes ripped, both men were standing around in tattered pants, revealing their unnaturally muscular torsos that weren't noticeable before. "Did we stay down long enough? Seemed like all of you were having a rather tender moment and we didn't want to interrupt." Griffin said respectfully. "We also had some mommy issues, and so we understand the significance of things like this." added Cassius. "Bro, they don't need to know that!"

"But they shared with us so I feel like it's only right of us to do the same."

"They didn't share, we just so happened to be here!!"

Again, it seemed like the two of them were going to get into another needless squabble when Joanne decided to act. Faster than either brother could react, she appeared in front of them and struck them thousands of times within a second, clearly infuriated over the harm done to her daughter. But when Joanne dealt the last blow, she realized that her hands were the only thing that appeared to be hurting. The bodies of the brothers were like iron, and Joanne's hands were aching terribly from striking them so casually. Griffin and Cassius both spit out large mouthfuls of blood before Cassius grabbed Joanne by the neck and held her in the air. "That one actually hurt. We arent supposed to be doing any fighting today but I think the leader can make an exception for this."

Tossing Joanne high into the air, he punched her hard in the stomach before her body could hit the ground, sending her flying backwards. POW!

"You bastards!"

Joanne was caught by her daughter with some difficulty, and Aisha rushed at the two hulking brutes with a large axe hoisted over her shoulder. 16:46

Instead of attacking the two men, Aisha slammed her weapon into the ground and an explosive wave of earth and malice rose up that threatened to swallow the two men whole. Cassius held up his hand like he was about to put an end to the attack without much effort when his body started to feel heavy. "Sleepy..."

"You too..?" Griffin yawned. "I thought it was just me..."

BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!

Once Aisha's attack connected, a storm of dust and debris was thrown into the air that obscured the vision of the rest of the girls. Aubrey took on the role of clearing away the smoke, and when she did they found the two men lying on the ground, undamaged from Aisha's attack but snoring lightly. "What the hell kind of weapon is that to put them to sleep...?" Joanne asked as she clutched her stomach. Aisha looked down at her axe and realized it had no such effect before turning around and finding the true culprit. Sei had both other hands held out in front of her, and her cheeks were starting to turn red like she was straining herself quite a bit. "Ummm... Joanne right? I know we've just met but if you're with the dark angels then it would be great if you could make some kind of a phone call right now or something...I'm still not very proficient with these powers and these two are rather restless sleepers..."

Joanne was looking at Sei like she'd grown a second head. In all of the reports she'd read, Sei was supposed to be an average human. Not only her, but Malachi's sister was as well. Did they get blessed at the same time as her daughter?

How does that even happen??

She had thought that maybe they had been coming to immortal moon so frequently because of their relationship with Malachi, but was that really not the case?

As she pulled out her phone to make a quick call, she decided it may be best to interrogate her daughter's boyfriend a little further and learn why everything that happened around him seemed to be so abnormal. With the authorities being called, Serana walked up to Anna and inspected the wound on the side of her head that had yet to fully close. "Christ, Malachi is going to freak when he sees you like this... Let's hope it heals up before he gets back."

Anna smirked as she thought about the man she loved and a sudden realization dawned upon her. "About that... I feel like he already knows. Even though he's not here, I can still sense his worry and anxiety that seems to be solely focused on me."

"Oh.."

Serana glanced over her shoulder at the two sleeping men with abnormally muscular physiques. "So those two are gonna die, huh?"

"Most likely, yes."

-

Just like Anna, Bianca and Luna could also sense Malachi's anxiety over her well-being, only it was significantly stronger due to their close proximity. They couldn't figure out exactly what had happened to him to cause this sort of episode but they knew it had to be rather serious to cause something like this. The lightning storm he had created had practically destroyed this entire area.

Bolts of lightning larger than any they had ever seen before sent chunks of debris flying in every direction whenever they landed. And with such a downpour occurring above, the land had become muddy and slippery, while puddles the size of small ponds were being created left and right. The two of them looked around for the man behind this madness and found him with one of his iklhwa buried in the side of the vampire's neck, and another in her stomach. Nadine smiled beautifully at Malachi while seemingly oblivious to the dangerous weapons embedded in her body. He easily recognized the seductive look she was trying to give him and his irritation skyrocketed. Just as he was about to set her ablaze, she parted her full lips to make him an offer that he never expected. "Mister human~, is that fire giant your friend?"

"...."

"Not very talkative, hm? That's alright, I think I like that even better. I only ask because if you want to undo my hypnosis on him then you cannot kill me so casually~"

Malachi's red eyes became significantly more unfriendly, and he dug his blades just a bit deeper into her figure. "Undo it."

"But if I do that then you won't listen to my request! What I want is very simple actually, if you'll only just-" "I don't have the time for this shit."

Opening up another portal to his shadowy domain, he pushed the vampire inside without a second thought and watched her fall into a bottomless abyss. Closing it, he shifted his focus towards the castle looming in the distance and the numerous presences he could feel lurking around inside. With his every thought focused on clearing this dungeon so that he could go back home to see Anna, he had no time to check every room until he found the boss. Instead he opted for a much more loud and direct approach in the hopes that he could flush the bastard out without wasting any more time. Holding out his hands, two palm's full of pitch black flame sparked to life. He brought the two flames together and held them above his head. Despite the torrential downpour, the ball of fire continued to grow and grow in size until he was literally holding a miniature black sun above his head. The temperature outside became several degrees warmer, and all eyes drifted toward Malachi's winged back. "Knock, knock."

Without a single ounce of hesitation, Malachi tossed the enormous ball of flame at the glorious castle walls, and a fiery calamity unfolded. BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
