Power is Corrupt
The Sinners Are Back In Town.
Previous ChapterOnce Blackfield and Spike got home, Blackfield hopped onto the computer. She had a little researching to do. She went to google and looked up "Veronica Trixton". She ended with one result. She clicked on it to see a picture of the girl she ran into on the train and a brief description of her underneath.
"Veronica Trixton: a former member of the elite squad known as the Wolfpack Team that fought on the side of Crescenta during the Great War." Blackfield read out loud. "Veronica was the head of the Wolfpack Team and followed her orders without any questioning or second thinking. On one mission, the Wolfpack Team was rumored to have been killed in combat during a search and destroy mission. Veronica Trixton was the only surviving member of the ambush that they were led into."
"Damn...." Spike said looking at the computer screen.
"It looks like Veronica's out to get the guy who killed her squad. And she's willing to do it one criminal at a time." Blackfield concluded.
Spike walked over to Blackfield and looked at the screen a little closer. "Does it say who was responsible for the attack?"
Blackfield turned back to the computer screen and scrolled down to look for more information. "Apparently they were supposed to find and eliminate some group of artillery producers. The man running the whole production crew was....." Blackfield scrolled down some more.
Once she found the right name, she read the name out loud. "Red Button...."
"Red Button?" Spike asked questioningly. "Isn't that the multi-billionaire playboy that lives over in Slaughterlot who spends his time playing video games and building robotic suits to fly around in?"
Blackfield remembered him. He was also a local hero to the people. Whenever there was a terrorist attack, he would always fly in with his main suit and shoot the whole place up. The people called him "War Machine", do to his suit being equipped with two Gatling guns placed of his shoulders, a full swarmer missile launcher on his left arm and a power missile on his right. His suit also allowed him to fly around and had his own virtual butler.
"We should pay this guy a visit." The surprise Pinkamena said as she looked at the screen. "Looks like he lives at Button Tower just around the local Slaughterlot library."
Blackfield and spike looked at each other and nodded. They needed to deal with this as soon as they possibly could. It was time to make a return to Slaughterlot.
