Spiritual knight
Case 2: The Hangman Execution

A foggy day in the city of New Glacier, there is been held an very horrible scene for all citizens to see, in a dark alley a man is been hang, for its own crime.

The morning arrive, the Knight team has arrive in the crime scene, before them is the SCIS autopsy doctor, Dr. Joshua Stellar, a 53 year old man, he is looking at the poor man hanging.

Aron and his team came close to him; they raise their heads and see the man hanging.

“Morning Doc, what we hang here?” ask Otto

“Well as you can see, I can’t give you much since the poor young fella is hanging his neck up there” Dr. Stellar said to Otto

“Probably Suicide?” ask Aron

“I doubt it, but can’t be sure unless we can get him down from there” answer Dr. Stellar.

They manage to cut down the poor hangman and lower him to the ground gently whit the help of the Knights team.

Dr. Stellar started his work, injecting a liver temperature on the body, checking every angle of it, he concluded that the Victim died by a broken neck, but he could be wrong, so they bag him up and put him on the autopsy truck.

Wield they finish up with the victim, the rest of the team started to check on the area, Otto jump high enough to reach the roof where the victim ‘jump’, he found some sort of beer cans and bottles, he notice that one of the cans has lipstick on it, so he bag two of them.

Titania search the ally, she sniff the air, but with all the trash there she couldn’t get much, then her eyes landed on a piece of business card, she grab it and bag it.

Aron looks around the Neighbourhood, his eyes landed in an area with security cameras near the ally where they found the hangman. He walks toward the store and ask for the security cameras tape.

They finish their work in the crime scene area and left to back to SCIS.

In the lab, Nicolas and Scarlet are working on the victims clothing and on the rope that he used to hang himself with, then out of nowhere, Otto come in the lab, with some coffee and snacks.

“I smell coffee and some sugar cookies entering right now” said Scarlet passing a quipsters on the rope

“Really, I wanted to surprise the both of you and you just happen to spoil it Carly” answer Otto honestly

“Carly? Where the hell that nickname came from?” said Nicolas as he grabs his coffee and cookie

“You know, her name is ‘Scarlet’ remove the ‘S’ and replace ‘et’ to ‘y’ that is equal as ‘Carly’” explain Otto

“Scarlet is just fine Otto, I’m not fond in pet names”

Then a voice she would never forget spoke

“What are you talking about Scarlet, you liked it when I call you ‘Kitty’” said Aron entering the lab

Scarlet made a heavily, cold, murderess glare at Aron, she turn around and left placing her tools hard on the table, making one of them bend and break.

Aron isn’t affected by her cold glare, on the other hand Otto and Nicolas took 20 steps back by it

“That woman scares the shit out of me” said Otto

“You have no idea, beter yet, why don’t you work with her” said Nicolas

“Dude, she is all your problem, not mine” said Otto nearly ready to run

Aron walk inside the autopsy room, asking for the victim, Joshua had already cut him open, he tells Aron that the victim, had suffer a concussion before he jump to his death, and chronic liver problems, probably for drinking so much. However there is another problem, and that Aron was right, the victim was murder, because there were tissues found on his victims nails, indicating that the victim struggle with someone, in little words, he was murder and make it look like a suicide.

Aron walk back inside the Forensic Team, he sees Nicolas and Scarlet arguing in the second floor, then he sees Scarlet struggling with Nicolas, he tie a rope on her neck and push her to the second lever boarder, as she falls.

Aron use his Dragons speed to reach Scarlet, but once there, he sees that she is fine and land on a four mattress in the floor.

“You tie it too hard like you really mean it Nick” said Scarlet coughing

“Sorry not sorry” said Nicolas playfully

Aron let go a relive sigh.

Both Scarlet and Nicolas are confused. Aron glares at both of them.

“What the devil’s name were you two playing?!” snap Aron at them

Scarlet, gets off the mattresses

“We do this when we don’t understand what really happen with our victim, so we decide to made a stage of it. It turns out that we don’t know if the murder is a woman or a man, so we are posing both of them to replace that out” answer Scarlet

Nicolas lowers the raid that there were in and get off of it

“We know that our Victim is no other than a famous boxer name Joseph Jones a.k.a J.J Champ” said Nicolas

“Our Victim, is a Copy Cat demon, someone that drains the strength of its enemies and used it against it, he had a lot of fan, but other weren’t exactly fans, at least that is what his agent said, Miss Lidia Manson, she’s been his agent for 15 years under this industry” said Scarlet removing the rope and walking toward the computer

“I also found traces of unknown mark lotion or some sort of sanitize on the rope, here is your Victim’s address and car model, also the phone number of the last person that spoke to him, J.J Champ’s agent” said Scarlet

Aron pat on Scarlet and Nicolas shoulder “You two rock, but please a little warning on the stage thing” he said as he left the room

Scarlet snicker and Nicolas laugh “You are an evil little devil” said Nicolas

“I know” answer Scarlet with a smile on her face

Aron and the rest of the Knights team arrive at the victims house.

Titania stood near the entrance and smell around to see if there is a faint smell on the area, which there was a faint one of jasmine lotion, and there is no presence of a demon near the area.

Aron and Titania enter the premiere, Otto notice the plants moving, so he cast a earth quick sand on the plants, the plants were swallow by the quick sand, Aron and Titania look at him.

“These are posinous plants, or demon grass, it draws their root to feed from the dead” said Otto glaring at nothing

“As far as we know the only death we have is J.J Champ, unless something happen here” answer Aron

Aron search the area, he notice the window on the second floor of the house that is almost open, using their abilities the three of them climb or jump on the roof near the window,.

Titania try to reach the alarm system on the window, she closed her eyes and concentrate in freezing it, making it broken and gently open the window.

Walking around the area, searching and using their Dragons senses, the room is fill with jasmine odor, is making it a little hard to sniff some other scents.

Then Otto open the bathroom door and his eyes widen, he call out to Aron and Titania, when they arrive where Otto is they all watch a woman’s dead body in the bathtub, fill with ice and the strong smell of jasmine.

“Call for Dr. Stellar and the rest of the group” said Aron

Later that day, everyone there were working on the new crime scene, Dr. Stellar is investigating on the new victim.

“So what do you think?” ask Aron

“Well there is force trauma in the head that might cause to be unconscious for a few hours, the killer knew that she wasn’t death so she drown her, her lungs are fill with water, she has a broken ankle cause by the tripping, but there are some tissue on her nails indication that she struggle with the killer, the killer might had some strenght in him or her, because it hit her on the wall, not strong enough, so your killer might be a low lever demon or a human” explain the Dr. Stellar, as they bag the new Victim

Otto and Titania came to Aron indicating that the Jasmine smell is making them unable to use their senses to identify the killers scent, Aron nods his head and they all head to the SCIS.

Once there he walk to his desk chair and sigh, he turn his computer screen, there he use a background of Scarlet in her lab, working, he took that picture hiddenly otherwise she would break the phone.

He open the case filed, two pictures with the tags of ‘J.J Champ’ and ‘Jane Doe’, without her name he can’t continue the investigation, neither of them had wallet, purse or even an ID tag on them, is like no one what to ID them, J.J Champ is reconizelable due to his famr, but the women is another story.

Aron’s phone started to rings, he pick it up.

“Kingston” he said in monotone

"Lucinda Maple" said that sweet tone voice he could recognize anywhere

“Excuse me?” ask Aron confuse to Scarlet

"That’s her name, she is J.J Champ’s girl, graduated in the X university, with a high score of GPA, not to mention that her carrier is house agency, she is a huge fan in fighting, she meat J.J Champ, when she bought VIP tickets to see him fight and meet the guy, her record is clean of crimes and bad behavior" answer Scarlet on the phone

“What about the tissue that is under both victims nails?” ask Aron

“I’m still running the sample, however I can tell you that our murder, surely was excessively expose to that Jasmine Splash and lotion, so your murder probably smells like Jasmine" said Scarlet

“Do you know the product production?” ask Aron again

“Working on it" she said and hung up

Scarlet is glaring at the computer screen for unknown reason.

Nicolas enter to the lab with a box of products, he open the box and a mixture of jasmine fragrance hit Scarlet nose, she look at Nicolas, he is putting every product of every fabric company of Jasmine fragrance.

Scarlet got out of the chair to get the materials for the test of each product, they started to work on it.

Later on Titania came to the lab, she sees the two scientist working, she walk toward them and sat on a stool that is near their working area,

Scarlet is looking at the Microscope.

“You know we are just staring working Titania” said Scarlet not moving from her area and writing what she sees in the microscope on a paper she has on her side

“I’m just here because Otto is annoying the shit out of me” answer Titania garbing a pencil, taping it on the table

“He is getting on everyone’s nerves recently. Alright, as long as you don’t touch anything you can stay” Scarlet said in a monotone

Titania stare at Scarlet, she sees that she looks younger than her, she also has dark circles under her eyes, she moves her stare at Nicolas, that he has the same dark circles under his eyes, she also notice that they are wearing the same clothing since two days ago, she got to the conclusion, they haven’t slept in two days.

A few minutes later one of the machines started to sound, Nicolas walk toward it, he press a bottom that send the results to the computer, Scarlet and Nicolas groan in union,

Titania became confuse by their disappointment.

“What?” ask Titania

“Our murder is...” said Nicolas

“Human” finish Scarlet

They both sigh in frustration “This is going to be long case” said Scarlet

Later that night, Aron came to the lab, he sees Nicolas Sleeping on the couch as Scarlet is working on the computer with her report of the day/night; he got close to her desk and made a small cough to get her attention, which she didn’t give to him.

Aron lean forward “Aren’t you supposed to be at home?” ask Aron staring at her

“Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?” ask Scarlet still in the computer

Aron sees her from head to toe “How long have you been here?” he frown his eyes brows and stare at her again

“42 hours and counting to 72 hours” answer Scarlet

“Almost Three days!” Aron got surprise that this tiny woman that he loves manage to stay awake this long

An alarm clock sound and Scarlet stood up and ‘walk’ toward Nicolas, she kick him out of the sofa

“Hey you, it’s your turn now” she glare at Nicolas

Nicolas glare at her, she kick him to the hard floor and not a hint of an apology.

Nicolas glares back at her “No need to kick me out of the sofa” he said gritting his teeth

Scarlet throw herself in the couch, it didn’t took long to fell directed into slumber,sleeping like a log on that couch.

Nicolas ‘walk’ toward the desk and started to write his report,

Aron is amuse by the scene that is playing right his before his eyes.

He back away from the lab and walk back to his desk, the thought of how two people would show passion to their carrears without noticing that the time could fly so fast for them un aware of their suroundings. Given that inspiration, Aron turns on his computer and started to work in the case.

The next morning, Titania and Otto arrive at the agency to replace their team leader sleeping on the desk, Otto pokes him on the head, he is knock out cold. Titania, grab one of the three coffees that she bought and put it on his desk, then she head to the lab.

What she replace is worse than yesterday, they were like walking zombies, but now is a war zone, Nicolas is sleeping on the couch, half of him is lying on the floor and Scarlet is sleeping on the floor with some papers around her. A few seconds later Otto came on Titania’s side and stare at the war zone these two are in, Titania walk toward Scarlet’s table and put some coffee on it.

Scarlet sat down off the floor, rubbing her eyes

“Coffee?” she said tiered but happy by the smell

Titania and Otto smile at her cuteness, then Titania put the coffee near Nicolas and he suddenly grab it, scaring and screaming the shit out of her, he glare at her and mumble his thank you, that’s when Otto laugh out loud, he realize that when Scarlet is extremely tired, she becomes sweet and passive, as for Nicolas, he become aggressive and in a very bad mood, it turns out Scarlet and Nicolas switch personalities.

They both drank their coffees but nothing has change on their behaviors, they started to clean the lab.

Titania and Otto were about to leave, Scarlet stop them and tell them to send Aron down too.

A couple of minutes later, Aron came to the lab wearing the same clothing he was wearing yesterday, Scarlet didn’t pay too much of attention, her mind was fill with shower and bed, Nicolas the same.

Scarlet yawns “Alright, We found out yesterdays that the murder is a human, she might had found a way to trick J.J Champ to jump the roof to his death, or something, or maybe she try to push him away wield he was drunk...” she click the mouse to change the results

“...These are human tissues, in both our victims, which indicate that they were murder by the same person...” continue Nicolas

Follow up by Scarlet, they both walk to an open area, where they were a tub and a row of cement blocks

“...We made different types of scenes that could fit out profit; we know that our murder might be a woman, based on the tissue results here. Let’s say that the first murder is with the J.J Champ, he is drunk, laughing and this human been a fan or something the question is why would a fan esnt to kill an idol? Lets preten that this is how it would do it...” Scarlet explain and then she got into position

Nicolas turn his head to one of the two guys in the room

“I’m not feeling like acting with her so, any volunteers?” ask Nicolas

Aron move to the front of Scarlet, she is even so tiered that she doesn’t care who it is

“Alright Kingston, can you act as a drunk guy” said Scarlet

“How drunk are we talking about?” ask Aron

“Heavily drunk” answer Scarlet

Aron pose a heavily drunk man, then Scarlet began to pose as the murder accompanying the drunk victim, then she grab his neck and peck his lips.

Aron’s eyes widen, he wanted to deepen the kiss, but then he felt like someone put something on his neck, push him away from her, making him trip on the line cement block and he fell to the ground.

He stare at Scarlet, she look at him with a very unemotional face, he then touch his neck and realize that there was a rope on it, that is when it hit him, J.J Champ was too drunk to use his powers on a normal human, would mean that she is even more stronger than him.

“J.J Champ was so heavily drunk that his strength is equal to a child, which give the murder an advantage to push him, he try to replace a way to grab into something and grabs the mist reasonable place withing reach, its arms, scratching it by mistake. It needed to distract him so she could put the rope around his neck and a heavily drunk guy kissing a willingly human, was the best method. Now on to the Lucinda’s case...” said Scarlet not looking directly to Aron’s eyes, but explaining the method

Nicolas continue “...As we know we found our second victim was inside the tub of the first victims house, so we tough that since Lucinda is none other than J.J Champs girl, they weren’t maried, but they do lived together quite sometime, so we think that this fan didn’t like Lucinda and wanted to be her replacement, so Scarlet and Titania, would you please” said and ask Nicolas

Scarlet and Titania got into their place, doing their scene as Nicolas explain

“Alright, Lucinda got out of the bath, the murder open the bathroom door and sees this woman it has never saw before, it fights with the victim and then by the struggle it push the victim to the shower wall and fall down, the murder gets anxious and fills the tub with cold water, Ice and spray the entire bathroom with Jasmine slash and cream her with jasmine lotion, form X product that are located only at X store” finish Nicolas

“The murder was jealous of Lucinda, because it was in love with J.J Champ, and since he won’t chose anyone that is not Lucinda, it murder her and then murder him because it won’t accept the fact that he would never accept it” said Titania

The rest thought about it and agree to the hypothesis, but they need strong evidence to crime this murder, which they still don’t know who it could it be.

Aron stood up

“Alright, you two great work, take the rest of the day off, the others we are going to start from scratch, starting on those fan letters of his” commanded Aron

Nicolas and Scarlet’s eyes shine like a child that got a new toy, on the other side Otto and Titania groan in union.

The two Scientists ran as fast as their tired feet could carry, and the other member of the team, walks their energetic feet to the evidence room.

Scarlet never felt so happy to be at her apartment and bed, she feels like flying to cloud nine, she used her Dragons speed to eat and take a shower

She is curls up on her bed and started to sleep like a baby, that is until her phone started to ring. She literary roar her lungs out and grab he phone to answer it.

“Whoever it is, I don’t care what you are going to say or ask, but please for the love of God, Jesus and Holy Maria, let me have a good night rest!!!” she roar at the caller

"Wow and I thought that Titania was a Scary woman when she is mad, but you beat her at that department too, Scarlet" said the caller

“F**k Kingston, what do you want?” she answer rubbing her tiered eyes

"I want to talk about that kiss that we had in the lab this morning" said Aron on the other line

“You mean that peck I gave you, we were just acting” answer Scarlet

"Maybe to you, but not to me, I wanted more than just a peck Scarlet" said Aron

“And I want to sleep, Good Night!” shouted Scarlet and hung up

She turn her phone off, and fell to the bed angry, she roll and turn on the bed. Scarlet turn to see the ceiling. Thinking of the small innocent peck she gave to Aron, every fiber on her body scream to kiss him, but she knows better to let her past emotions resurface, and yet how come it hurt so much not been near him.

Aron is leaning on a wall, staring into space, closing his eyes as a flash back of the counted of times when they kiss, and the peck he got from her today, he open his eyes, Aron thought that is been 8 years since they kiss, even if it was just an act, he can get rid of the fact that her lips are soft and warm, just like he remember.

Aron’s train of thoughts stop when Otto, yell about replaceing something. Aron walk toward his team where he left them to read countless of letter of different fans. They found one that the scent matches the one that they all smell and became familiar with, the writing is very, polite, but very demanding, they bag it and put it on the table.

Reeding the letter, Aron and the other found other letters declarin its love for J.J Cham, the thing is that all of them were writen by the same person.

Aron knows not to mess with the bull, but this case is getting on everyone’s nerves, they have two victims, a male champion and a female murder.

On the other hand, a scary Forensic Scientist team sleeping, then it hit him, as he remembers the kiss and the stage they do, if Nicolas wanted to act, Scarlet would kiss him and not Aron, would made him jealous about it, but Nicolas is Aron’s co-worker, would mean that J.J Champ and Lucinda Maple, were murder by someone that worked with him.

He left in a hurry the agency and head to Scarlet’s home, once he was in front of her door, Aron took a deep breath and knock on the door, he could hear her groan with his Dragon hearing, she unlock the door rubbing her eyes out, she sees her intruder and glare at Aron.

“Before you close that door hear me out” he said in a hurry

“You got 10 seconds” she answer directly

“What if it was Nicolas you kiss and not me?” Aron ask

“Is this a joke, because is not funny” she glare at him

“Scarlet think about it, if you kissed Nicolas and not me, I would be incredibly jealous at him for kissing you, I would hate him for doing just that little thing...” said Aron

Scarlet though for a moment

“Let me get this straight, you are telling me that someone near one of the two victims, one that might know them personaly to keep watch on them, is the killer?” she looks at him

“Yes” he answer her question

Scarlet let him come inside her house, Aron gaze at the woman that let him inside her home, then he take on her surroundings, her scent is all over the place, for some reason his Dragon wants nothing more than to mark his territory inside her home, on her body and soul, telling people that she belongs to him, but Aron knows better than that, if he tries to even get near her she would cut his balls out and sell them as bulls testicles.

Besides, he is here for business, not pleasure.

Scarlet let him know that she is going to change, as she walks toward her room, her Dragon makes her feel funny, she has the desire to jump on him and let him have her in any way he wants, but she knows better to let her guard down with him, so she push her desire in the back of her mind and changes clothing.

Scarlet and Aron are walking around the city aimlessly, as they discus on what Aron’s theory is, it turns out that he believes that someone close to him, murder the girl for jealousy and then kill J.J Champ for love.

“That is possible, but when need solid proof that she is near those two or not” said Scarlet

“What about a skin test DNA, both victims scrape the killer” ask Aron

“Could be enough proof if I can get a DNA sample from each and every employee that work near him, and there are more than 15 maybe 20 peoples around him, not to mention the fact that he has a huge fan network” answer Scarlet

“And the Jasmine scent?” ask Aron

Scarlet place her pointer and thumb fingers on her chin as she started to mutter, she closed her eyes as she became more irritated, then an image pass her mind, when she was working overtime in the lab, she had to watch the video imagines that Aron’s team brought, then she remember seeing a young man passing by the crime scene three time, then at the forth he runs away frighten.

Scarlet snap her fingers “I got it!”

Aron jump at her reaction, then he got confuse “You got what?”

“Is obvious, there is a guy that passes that alley every day, on the fourth time I saw him, he panic and ran away, he might had saw the killer, also you guys smelled like jasmine ever since you came to my lab two days ago...” explain Scarlet

Aron sniff himself “Is faint but the smell is still there” said Aron

“...That is because you were exposed to a high dose of it, but imagine someone that was exposed long enough to make the scent its own. If we can get just a tissue on the murder, we might replace our murder and solid evidence on it” finish Scarlet

Aron smile at her, telling her what a good job she made, Scarlet felt her heart skip a beat, she has to admit that she miss his smile, but she knows that she won’t be able to smile for him anymore, after all, Aron betray Scarlet in a way.

As the sun rises on the horizon, both Aron and Scarlet enter the agency, Nicolas and Otto for some reason are shock to see these two walking inside without Scarlet tearing Aron’s throat out.

Scarlet knows that the Jasmine scent on the three of them has a few more days to wear off, and they can’t wait for it, so she gets inside the lab with Nicolas.

She walks over her office and opens a hidden passage way, Nicolas enter her office as she removes her lab coat and her glasses.

“I knew they were for show” said Nicolas from behind

“Aron Knows that I had bad eye sight ever since I was a kid, if he replaces out that I can see perfectly well, he will be piss off because of the lie” answer Scarlet

“Or you are force to tell them that you are one of them, after all you are the Black Dragon, so what are you going to do?” ask Nicolas

“Those three sense of smell is going to be useless as long as they all smell the same, but with someone that is not constanly expose to the Jasmine smell, is going to be easy, that is why I am going to collect the last piece of the evidence and draw the murder out” said Scarlet as she hides her lower part of her face with a black mask

Nicolas takes on Scarlet’s appearance, she has a tight shoulder-less black spandex, she has high knees black boots, a purple scarf , her arms are cover with long shoulder gloves and her ‘ninja’ mask on, not to mention that her eyes from light brown turn Purple iris. Nicolas also notice that her fingers are expose, he shows worry that they might get to her faster than lightning speed

“Don’t worry the shadow that I step or touch erase my finger prints, in other words they won’t know that is me” answer Scarlet as she throws a ear piece

“Keep me updated on every move that the enemy does and on those idiots” she said as she goes inside the tunnel

Nicolas got surprise “You knew?”

Scarlet grins “Of course I knew, the you were the world’s greatest hacker in the network?”

Nicolas nods, then he place the ear piece on his right ear as Scarlet’s place hers on the left.

Nicolas close the tunnel and sat on his computer, as he started to hack on the main frame of the building J.J Champ used to work, also he has video feed on the other Dragons.

Scarlet jump toward the building, she report to Nicolas that she has arrived and that she is on the roof, Nicolas guide her toward the main office.

When Scarlet arrives, she open the drawers and login in the computer, with the help of Nicolas. Scarlet search high and low for any evidence, then a pinch of jasmine scent came close to her, she turn toward the door, she jump high enough and on the darkest corner so that the intruder (besides her) can’t see her.

The door open and there it stood and there standing on the room is none other than Lidia Manson, J.J Champ’s agent, Scarlet took at silent sniff on the room and the jasmine sent is stronger on her, she remain in the corner, observing her target, then the door open again, there stood another men, Scarlet notice that man’s back features are a bit familiar and he is walking deeper in the room,

Scarlet can only see the back of the man. She whisper to Nicolas to record what she is hearing, both from her ear piece to the computer’s microphone.

“Great work Lidia, you outdid yourself” said the man

Just by listening those words made Scarlet’s skin crawls, she knows that voice anywhere and it always made her skin shiver in anger and rage, she doesn’t need him to turn around, Scarlet knows who he is and right now she is in danger if she is found out.

“I can’t take this anymore! All I wanted was to kill the brat, but he... he... he betray my heart, I work for 15 years of my life for him, and he repays me by telling me that he is going to marry a stupid girl, and not me! So I took measures of my own, if Joseph was not going to be mine, then I rather see him dead than alive, I kill him out of love!” Lidia stared to tear up

Nicolas records everything he is hearing, as for Scarlet, she still has to be on her guard, so she doesn’t move and keeps listening to the conversation.

“I am really sorry about that, but I need it this way in order to see the city’s new team of Dragons, but I also notice that they are incomplete for my capture” said the man

“Team of Dragons?” said Lidia in disbelieve

“Yes, the power that they possess must be eliminated as soon as possible, the Bronze Dragon Otto Maroon, the Silver Dragon Titania Winter and the Golden Dragon Aron Kingston. Those are the three dragons I will hunt after I’m finish and kill the worst of them all” said the man

“There is a forth? Worst of them all?” ask Lidia

The man grin at Lidia

“Yes there is, the ruler of the night and darkness, killer of a thousand mans, protector of the other Dragons, if you defeat it, you may possess the power to defeat the others, that Dragon is known as the Black Dragon, its name unknown, all we know is that its gender is female now” said the man dramaticaly

The man grabs his gun behind him and shots at Lidia, she screams and close her eyes waiting for the bullets to tear her up, but the bullets never reach her, she opens her eyes to see a young woman in front of her with her hands straight open, she notice between her fingers. Scarlet holds the bullets on her hand as she stares at the stranger, he stare back at her and with a sinister smile at her.

“Is good to see you are still alive Black Dragon, Kurohi” said the strange man

“Paul James Myers, why am I not surprise” glare Scarlet with her Purple eyes

“Haven’t seen you since the day you try to kill me, you sure are a wild woman” said Paul

“You make me vomit, I am curious though, how are you still alive?” Scarlet tilt her head sideways

“That my dear Dragon is a secret” with that said Paul pointed the gun again, this time is Scarlet he is shooting

As he shots, Scarlet manage to hide Lidia and tie her up, then she jump into action toward Paul, he shoots at Scarlet, as she dodges every single shot, getting closer toward him and fighting head on, close combat, Scarlet manage to go to the gym or do martial arts to train herself from him.

He was about to hit her with his gun when she use her electric speed to dodge it, she grab his arm and shock him, then she made a dark whirlpool, throwing him inside and out of reach for now. Scarlet walk over where the hidden Lidia is, she pick her up, opening the window doors, she jump toward the city heading to the agency.

The rain started to pour, Scarlet reach the gates and leaves Lidia in front of the gates, with the recorder and a hood on.

Aron headed outside to take a fresh air, when he saw a woman, he never saw before leaving someone near the gate. He use his Dragon speed to get near it, but before he could reach her, her own speed made things go slow motion, so the woman look up at him and vanish, just like that.

Aron manage to get a peak of that woman’s eyes, he notice that they were Purple iris.

His gaze fell on Lidia, with a recorder and a USB drive.

Scarlet comes back from the tunnel to her lab, she removes her clothing, leaving her on her underwear, she gaze a reflection of her, showing her back, the multiple scars that shatters looks that starts from her shoulder toward her hip, and the person that did it to her will never be forgotten.

She grab her jeans and sweater, he eyes change back to the light brown everyone knows, she put her glasses back on and her lab coat, opening her office door, she sees Nicolas working on the case.

“These are the tissue examples that the Knight team took from Lidia” said Nicolas as Scarlet walks toward him

“How is she?” Scarlet ask

“She will be replace the doctor said she is in shock, but how can I blame her, after all, she is the murder of this case, but she was also a victim of that guy” sigh Nicolas, then he look at Scarlet

“Who was that guy Scarlet? How does he knows that you exist, when the world doesn’t even know that the Black Dragon is alive?” ask Nicolas

“My existences with these powers are secret, yes, but he is the only one that knows and is after the big prize. He knows that if he kills me, the other Dragons doesn’t stand a chance, that is the reason I protect them, even if they don’t know that I am doing it by instinct, is because of him” Scarlet sigh and removes her glasses

“His name is Paul James Myers, his a very skill man, when I first encounter him, I didn’t have my powers under control yet, he left me to bleed to death one time, I train so hard that the second time we encounter, he started to believe that the Black Dragon’s spirit is possessing my body, he manage to make a strike on me cutting my right wing, although my wing regenerate, it left a scar on my skin and back. I was fed up by all of his attacks, so I hunt him and let my Dragon alter ego or dark side, what you call it, take all the fun it wanted, when I came to my senses, I had kill him, I took his body near a funeral and left it there, for someone to cremate the bastard” explain Scarlet as she re-adjust her glasses back on

At that moment the machine sound, then Scarlet open the results, she reads them and nods at Nicolas, he then calls the team and tells them the results.

The entire team, where heading out on the rainy day, when Nicolas and Scarlet were at the gate when the rain started to become stronger, Nicolas couldn’t bear to think what this man is or what he is after, so he looks at Scarlet.

“Tell me, what is that man?” he ask her
