The Kingdoms Crime Investigation Division: Broken Bonds (Private)

[NamelessTrax]

"Although joint, Flint will be taking the Official lead on this case, that is nonnegotiable." Traxs words came from behind the three Bloodmoons as he leaned up against the wall, partially hidden by the shadows,  his dark blue eyes were visible as day. Flint shook his head, 'His stealth hasn't degraded over the years', He thought to himself. "Unofficially, Trax is the Lead on this Case."

 

Hazel snorted, but did hope she'd get to at least see him, "Yeah... this time I get to say something cruel to him." She said as she opened her rooms door. Hazel froze in the doorway, her eyes widening with shock. Oakly sat in a chair at the center of the room, his face in his hands, he looked up  starred at Hazel with relief washing over him like a tidal wave. They starred at eachother for a good minute before Oakly rushed to her hugging tightly, Hazel was blinded by surprise til her eyes began to water over and she hugged him back. Oakly hugged even tight burying his face in her neck, hiding his tears as they seeped out. Azure walked by pushing everyone else down the hall and closing Hazels door, he began to sign the phrase, "Conference room now, I'll explain everything!" 

[MetalBronyATL]

Blood and Devil were surprised by Trax's sudden presence, but Moon was used to Trax's ways and remained looking forward away from Trax. "Funny, all that time spent kissing the Board's ass and all of a sudden he doesn't feel like negotiating anymore."

[NamelessTrax]

In a mere second Trax had Moon by the collar slamming him against wall, Flint stood up pulling out two M9's aiming at Blood and Devil, "I just lost My Best Friend and you think its funny to crack a joke? I've fought and bled beside him, cried with him, DAMMlT HE WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE HOW I RUN THINGS AROUND HERE, FOR GOD SAKE'S YOUR PART OF A GROUP WHO THINKS THEY CAN RUN AROUND DOING WHAT THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE! AT LEAST SOUL HAD THE HONOR TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY!" Trax yelled in Moons face, his eyes were a dark crimson red. His grip lessened a little as his breathing slowed, his eyes changed back to normal, "Slipknot will pay for taking Soul away from me, get in my way, and I'll let you guess what'll happen next." He said into Moons ear before dropping him, Trax straightened out his collar then walked out. Flint slung his M9's back into their holsters, "Well, that was exciting was it not?" He asked with an strangely optimistic smile.

[MetalBronyATL]

Moonshield was unfazed by Trax's outburst. "Soul is dead because Trax is a coward. He never had the strength to disobey the milk-drinkers who make up the Board. He let's a bunch of bureaucrats tell him how to fight an enemy. When we left we told him time and time again about the rising terrorist activity. We told him about Slipknot, and about Nergal before him. And now because Trax was too afraid to take a risk and do what must be done, to do what's right, we all must suffer the death of our brother." He said coldly. "Now he wants to do something about it, but the damage has already been done." Moonshield wanted to say more, but suddenly another man entered the room holding a hand up. "That's enough, Moon." The man said. He looked to be in his forties and wore a mysterious jet black uniform, unrecognizable by any known group. Mephisto turned to Flint. "Flint Dragneal, you've grown up my boy." Mephisto said. 

[NamelessTrax]

Flints arms glowed bright orange under his sleeves, obviously acting up to his anger towards Moon as he ranted about his Superior, "Please Mephisto, you were probably ten when I was born. We dont need to be reminded of the severity of the situation, nor such talk towards a very trusted friend. And I do apologize on Traxs behalf for his words, it doesnt show much but the pain he feels is very much real. Moving on from recent events, I'd like to know the latest info you have on Slipknots whereabouts, and of course we'll share ours." Flint inquired as his arms calmed down, steam escaped through his collar and sleeves.

[MetalBronyATL]

Mephisto gave Moon an accusing look after Moon finally backed down. He reluctantly sat down and let the leader of their movement do the talking. "Please extend my apologies to Trax for their behavior. They're good men, but a little too passionate and overzealous." He placed a small object on the table which produced several holograms of various things. "Slipknot has a personal army of around 10,000 men, with more joining his cause daily. He's been able to recruit through propaganda, telling potential soldiers that the KCI are corrupt and the Princesses are dictators." He fanned through some other images before stopping on a remote town outside of Canterlot. "You are not a politician or a government official, so you may not have noticed the alarming number of civilian deaths and economic crashes that have been occurring. That is because Slipknot is raiding small towns and decimating them, thus weakening the stability of the kingdom as a whole." He closed the images and looked at Flint grimly. "And I'm sure you know about the weapon their building..."

[NamelessTrax]

"A 3 ton Hydrogen Bomb, with modifications. Our Tech analysts is still decrypting Blacks files, still working on what Blacks plans are for modifying the bomb. Do you have a possible location?" Flint asked.

Trax walked into the training room taking off his shirt and tie, he paused realizing he wasnt alone. Tavi sat on her knees facing away from him in the middle of the training floor, "Figured this time you could use a sparring partner." She said as she stood up slowing holding a wooden bokken. Trax smirked and looked down, "I wont go easy." He admitted taking a bokken off the rack and steppin onto the training floor, Tavi smiled deviously, "I'd be disappointed if you didnt."

[MetalBronyATL]

"They've had to change their base of operation since you found them. We believe their new base is somewhere in the mountains. We don't know exactly where, they've just about disappeared there." Mephisto said closing all the images.

[NamelessTrax]

Flint thought for a moment, "Their building a bomb, which means they'll want civilian casualties, therefore they'll need to transport the bomb into a populated area. There are four cities surrounding the mountains, including Canterlot." He stated at first, "Can you have your men shadow the other three cities, tell them to watch for any suspicious movement. Oakly and your best tracker will search the mountains, Oakly's our best at Recovery missions and tracking, natural he should only work with the best from you."

[MetalBronyATL]

"Devil." Mephisto called out, nodding to Devildriver. Devil stepped forward with the others. "This is your man. He can track down a field mouse on the other side of the planet. You two will do well together. The rest of us will keep an eye on the other cities, assuming the KCI has Canterlot taken care of."

[NamelessTrax]

"Correct. Have your man ready tomorrow, He and Oakly can start their search then, Oakly will probably want to drive." Flint said as he started for the door, "Dont linger too long here, and please, dont visit Kane. The Boy has been through enough." He added with a hint of warning before stepping out.

 

Oakly and Hazel lay on her bed together under the covers, his hand over hers on her belly, their breathing nearly in sync. "You can apologize all you want Oakly, but even I dont know when I'll be able to forgive you." Oakly nuzzled closer to her ear, "I dont care if you never forgive me, all I care is that you are safe."

[MetalBronyATL]

Mephisto nodded to the others for them to leave the room. "Sooner or later, I'll have to. He has a part to play." He said to himself before leaving with the rest of the Bloodmoon.

Twilight sat up in bed, unable to sleep yet again. She had many restless nights since Soul's death. She sighed and left her chambers, walking out to a balcony in the main hail, feeling the cool night breeze on her face.

Autumn layed in be cuddled up next to Kane. "You alright, Hun?" She asked as she lay her head on his chest. Kane sighed. "I don't know, it still doesn't feel right being here without my dad." Autumn got closer to him. "I know, Kane. It must be hard. I could never imagine losing a parent. But you know he wouldn't want to see you like this." Kane kissed her forehead. "I know."

[NamelessTrax]

"Its nights like these when I wish I could look at them the same as did when I was a little Lad. Such peace and serenity, the way the cooling breeze washes your face of the days troubles." Flint spoke philosophically as stepped up to Twilights right side, he chuckled and smiled at her, "Apologies, I didnt know if this was time you wanted alone."

 

Trax held the door to his house open for Tavi, as she went to the bed room, he took his coat off and hung it up before heading into the living room. He loosened his tie then paused, in the next second he swung around aiming his glock at his chair as a lamp turned on. Trax relaxed putting on an annoyed face, "Please dont make this a regular thing." He said with a tired sigh. Lucifer chuckled, "Why? Tavi knew I was here. Hello deary! How was work!" He called out. "Hello Lucy, work was great thank you." Tavi answered from the bed room. Trax groaned glaring back at the bed room, Lucifer stood up, "Dont blame her Son, besides, I doubt you could stay mad at such a beautiful woman. Really Traxy, shes your best wi-" He stopped noticing Trax go grim with anger, "Moving on. Trax, I've come to tell you something about Oakly." Trax held up his hand, "I know, I watched him get the contract from the League myself, there was nothing I could do. I also know about Kaveck and Stryker re-opening the Feather case, its only a matter of time... Except you wouldnt be here unless they have." Lucifer sighed putting his hand on Traxs shoulder, "I warned you my Boy, you and I could do it because of who we are, but Oakly is'nt like us. Very few can walk the line between the darkness and the light. I'm afraid Oaklys only option are the shadows. Kaveck and Stryker wont arrest him for a week, but for him to survive, he must do this alone."

[MetalBronyATL]

Twilight smiled at Flint, glad to have his company, but still looked away sighing, "The last thing I want right now is time alone. It's all I have since Soul died." She looked at him, the moonlight shining down on her, reflecting her beauty behind the pain in her eyes. "What brings you out here, Flint?"

 

The four Bloodmoons returned to an undisclosed location as they entered a secure room filled with all kinds of equipment and technology, as well as newspaper clippings and wanted posters of notorious terrorist. One wanted poster was even of themselves. "Why did we agree to work with them? They'll hold us back." Moonshield asked. Mephisto shot him a glare. "I've told you all this before, we need him. He may be young, but this is his destiny. He is to follow his father's footsteps." 

[NamelessTrax]

"Simple really, I was passing by and saw beautiful flower in need of some warming rays." Flint told her charmingly.

Across the seas and through the mountains, a magnificent temple sat upon a high messa surrounded by a deep trench going down over a hundred feet. Within the main chambers, a man sat in dragon-like throne, his gleaming amber eyes starring down at two League Assassins kneeled before him. One female, and the other a male. "You have both served me well, and because of this, Your time of rebirth will soon be upon us. Rise, as Mother and Son." The two assassins rose to their feet and removed their hoods and face masks. The woman had gleaming yellow eyes and dark red hair tied in a ponytail, over 40 years of age. The young man had shaved sides with meduim long brown hair on top tied back in a ponytail, his light blue eyes shimmering like fire, a scar ran over his left eye. "Soon, Ally Valentine Trax and Kasey Trax, will be reunited with their beloved family once again."

[MetalBronyATL]

Twilight blushed and looked away from Flint at the comment. "I, uh..." She stammered, not knowing how to respond. She cleared her throat and tried to change the subject. "So, those people you were interrogating, who are they?"

[NamelessTrax]

"I wont lie to you, they were associates of Souls. I am using their help to catch Slipknot." Flint explained.

[MetalBronyATL]

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Bloodmoon?" She asked annoyed. "Trust me, I know them well. Soul wasn't the only one who had to keep them in line. I don't know how poor Mephisto has dealt with them all these years." She said, almost sounding like a mother. She looked back into the distance and sighed. "I know what they want now. They want Kane to take his place. They'll use his hunger for vengeance to convince him. Flint, Bloodmoon are good people with good intentions, but they're destructive and dangerous. I feared every day Soul spent with them, I don't want to fear for Kane the same way."

[NamelessTrax]

Flint took Twilights hands looking into her eyes, "Do not worry, I will do whatever it takes to keep Kane safe from harm. I wont try an take Souls place as a Father to him, but I will treat him as if he were my own flesh and blood. This I swear to you." He vowed strongly.

[MetalBronyATL]

Twilight blushed furiously as she looked deeply into Flint's eyes. She felt something she hadn't felt since the day she first met Soul. She felt a burning sensation in her whole body. Her heart was racing. "Flint, I...uh...."

[NamelessTrax]

"No need to say anything, what you should get is rest." Flint told her as he held his arm out for her to take it so he could escort her back to her chambers.

The next morning, Oakly leaned against his bike, he had another of his bikes parked next to him in case his partner needed one. "We better find something that makes it worth leaving Her before she awakes." He grumbled to himself, he got the call before he and Hazel went to sleep and had to wake early without disturbing her, he knew the note wouldnt do him justice but it was the least her could do.

Trax waited in the conference room for two minutes before pressing a button.

Seconds later an alarm in all of his teams rooms went off.

Azure woke up in his computer chair falling over in surprise.

Hazel was reading Oaklys note when she heard it and quickly popped two silenced rounds into the speaker, she relaxed realizing it just Traxs.

[MetalBronyATL]

Devildriver soon appeared near Oakly, wearing casual clothing but had a little bit of gear on him just in case. "Ready to head out?"

Kane and Autumn fell out of bed on each other in surprise. Kane groaned and looked at the clock. "I hate mornings."

[NamelessTrax]

"Yeah, the other bikes yours, try not to scratch it." Oakly said crossly tossing him the keys before getting onto his and putting on his helmet, he revved the engine twice, "Dont fall behind." He told him before speeding off.

 

Hazel walked out of her room putting on her suit jacket, "I swear, that man is going to drive me insane." She complained angrily. Azure ran out his room carrying his laptop and suit jacket, Hazel just starred in awe, "The kids fast for a geek."

 

Flint knocked on twilights door holding a bouquet of purple and pink flowers, "Come on Flint ole boy, your not doing anything wrong, just making sure your old friends widow is taken care of right? Right!... Ah Fu(k who am I kidding, Souls gonna haunt me for as long as live." He groaned to himself anxiously. 

[MetalBronyATL]

Devil revved the engine as it started up and he soon caught up to Oakly, riding right beside him at the same speed. "Got any leads so far?" He asked, keeping his eyes on the road.

Kane, Autumn and Silverthorn soon arrived and sat down in the main room where Trax was.

Twilight soon opened the door. "Oh, hello Flint. What brings you here?" She asked kindly before she suddenly noticed the flowers and gasped. "Are those for me? They're beautiful." She said in slight awe and blushing slightly.

((Remember Flint still has Soul's amulet, but you can give that to her whenever.))

[NamelessTrax]

"There was report about strange noises coming from in woods just west of here, we'll start there." Oakly told her as he weaved between two cars.

 

Hazel walked in dropping the broken speaker on the table, Trax stifled a chuckle, "I'll get that replaced, free of charge of course."

"Do it, and next time I'll use the twelve gauge under my bed board." Hazel warned before sitting down. Trax slid the broken speaker into the trash, "I want you all to get awake and geared up. An hour ago, Oakly and a Member of the Blood Moon, went off on a mission to track down Slipknot and Black. As of now we are on standby along with 20 other KCI Agents, once we're given the green light, we're storming their base and taking them down." He announced.

 

Flint glanced at the flowers, "Yes!... Indeed they are, only the most beautiful of flowers for the .. most.. beautiful of Women.." He said awkwardly handing her the flowers with a big smile.
