Back To Work
Chapter 8: Info

By: Major Frostwing

"What happened to squad three?" A soldier asked as he looked at what remained of his own squad.

"I don't have a fucking clue. They are just gone man." Another soldier commented.

This op went to shit the second they all walked into this city. Ever since they heard that snap and a voice yell out everything went wrong. Squad one was destroyed almost immediately by an explosive trap. This was supposed to be a simple op.

A scream caught all of their attention as they looked out from their cover to see one of their comrades running down the road. One of them made to motion to their comrade but was stopped. The man continued running only for a spell circle to appear under his foot. A torrent of spikes jumped from the ground impaling the soldier lifting him into the air.

"We were told to just destroy the city... So who the fuck is attacking us?"

"Probably the one you were all sent to kill by destroying the city." A voice said sounding rather bored. All the soldiers jumped before looking up to see a strange creature sitting on a street light looking down at them. It gave them a small two finger salute. "Did you like my traps?" The creature asked only for them all to raise their weapons at him.

"Surrender creature you have no chance of defeating all of us." The leader said as the creature only let out a short chuckle before pointing down.

"Kinda hard for you to be intimidating when there is only four of you left. Also might want to check your feet." Neither of them went to move and the creature only rolled his wrist as a dark purple glow began to appear around their feet. "You all sat behind this cover for around five minutes and you didn't notice a spell circle carved into the road... sad." The creature snapped it's fingers as the soldiers felt their minds go hazy.

"O-open fire..." They all began firing upon the creature only for their bullets to slam against a shield. The creature smiled as each of them collapsed falling asleep.

"I could always use some insider information so let's have a chat." The creature said jumping down to collect his new victims.

I slapped one of the soldier's cheek waking him up with a pained groan. "Welcome... Actually I don't know your name so mind telling me?" I asked as the stallion in front of me growled. "I have three of your buddies tied up and ready for this chair. You can save their lives by just cooperating with me." I said spinning the Tac knife they all were carrying. "If not I just take all the info I need and then toss you aside."

"I will never betray my country." The stallion spat.

"I never did." I said as I spun the Tac knife before shoving the blade through his shoulder. He let out a pained yell as I only rolled my eyes. "I just want to find my friends. Pretty innocent wouldn't you say?" I asked as I slowly twisted the knife. "But you are hindering me by not helping. And that really pisses me off." I yanked the knife out looking it over. "So what says you? Want to help a guy find his friends?"

"F-Fuck you..." The stallion said before spitting in my face.

I just stared at him before letting out a sigh. "Well fucking hell..." I muttered before shoving the blade deep into the soldier's throat. "I was going to let all of you go but looks like I got to move down the line." I rolled my wrist releasing the dead soldier before moving him out of the chair. "Oh well. Next!" I said with a smile dragging the next soldier to the chair and securing them to it with my magic. I smacked them across the face. "Welcome... Actually I don't know your name so mind telling me?" I began with a smile.

"The first one is in The Old Crystal Empire. I can find her. I need to find them all." I muttered to myself as I turned back to the room I had tainted with so much blood. I rolled my wrists before igniting the room in flames.

"Time to don a disguise." I said flicking my hands forming a black cloak around me. Since that bitch took my hands my magic is strained to the max I can barely teleport more than a hundred feet let alone use my big spells. I need a better medium than my hands... I hope my friend can help me.
