Meanwhile, UltraX finds himself in the forest picking up a demon eye... He breaths in and out.
UltraX: So the king was right, guards have been going missing by an anti-hero or someone else...
Ultra continues to follow the trail till he reaches the mountain, the only mountain with a volcano and a big cave area, good for someone to hide. Then he grabbed a rock and throw it in the cave, only hearing the sound of hitting a wall. Ultra then walks closer near the cave entrance and starts inspecting it for 2 minutes, then he enters the cave and walks till he reaches the wall... He then inspects the wall seeing drawings on it... Those looked pretty fresh comparing to the ones on the right of the cave.
The noise of a gun shot outside were heard, he turns around to see a girl...
???: Ivanov...
She says in a calm and deep female voice as she holds the gun pointing at him. Ultra seemed a bit stressed, but tried to keep his cool.
UltraX: Rayoma... What the fuck are you doing here?
Rayoma: Hehe... Nothing too much, just visiting an anti-hero "bestie."
Rayoma seemed excited as if she was actually going to shoot UltraX, the way she aimed... It looked like she was aiming for the head.
Name: Rayoma Kanomato
Age: 29
Information: After graduating college for economics she has been influencing the Adumfor market with the international market and making sure it does not fall. However due to her brother being a favourite child, she could never become a hero. Rayoma is a successful fighter when it comes to ranged fighting, however close range she is useless. Her manifestation is completely unrelated to her parents due to Rayoma trading her battle dome manifestation for Explosion with transfer trade. Rayoma works as economist in Adumfor and lies to her parents that she became a hero.
Manifestation: Explosion
Rarety of Manifestation: Super Rare
Manifestation: allows the user to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the palms of his hands and ignite it on command, allowing him to create strong explosions. The more the user sweats, the stronger their explosions become. If the power is overused it will start for the hands to slowly hurt more and more, then the forearms will start to ache leading to soon the body part used for explosion to actually explode, possibly killing the user in the process. Otherwise it also drains 4x more stamina then what the user has.
Rayoma despite having a corrupted mind, she is a very useful ally to have on your side, but... Then again she gave up her biological manifestation, lied to her parents and attempted to kill an anti-hero in France with no evidence... Her personality spekas more of why her parents prefer Elijah instead of her or even her sister. Ultra then runs quickly and steals the gun, throwing it in the process and then he makes her fall to the ground and pins her to the ground.
Rayoma: H-Hey-
Ultra covers her mouth with his hand and tries to hold her.
UltraX: You know, for a cute girl from that boy's family... You are pretty corrupted and overshadowed the fact that you didn't do anything better then him.
Ultra then quickly let's go of her with his left hand and pulled out a tape, then he puts the tape on her mouth and holds her with both hands.
UltraX: Ma'am, you are under arrest for threating a hero of the law with a gun and attempting to murder them just to get some information.
Rayoma tried to scream, however only mumbles were heard as her mouth was covered. An hour passes, Rayoma finds herself somewhere in the city of Demacia's secret room in a hotel... Rayoma starts to feel scared cause of it.
Meanwhile outside of the hotel, Ultra standed outside talking to the police officer.
UltraX: No problem, she will stay there for as long as you like her to be. That room is made to scare her to change, something I rarely see in the other countries.
Police officer: Well, the king made 3 secret rooms for one hotel each. To be fair those rooms are also known as the "re-education rooms." If you know what I mean.
Ultra looks away.
UltraX: Whatever you say, chief.
After that, Ultra walks away and goes back into the forest this time following the path back to the capital city of Adumfor. He finds himself conflicted on what to do with Rayoma after she gets out of her lock up in that secret room, it was obviously leaving her be she will go back to her act.
Now back to Mina with the anti-hero...
???: So, those heroes that one time mistaken you for a milf slut?
Mina: Yeah, it kinda sucked, but at the sametime it was fun.
Mina says that cause she is tall and has her own darkside. She still didn't seem happy about the part that she was mistaken for a slut.
Mina: Anyways, Kazuna what are you doing on the island with those guards?
Kazuna: Well, it was self-defense to begin with, but I did not kill them.
Kazuna smiles.
Kazuna: I just made sure they are not a threat to my safety~
That line gives Mina a bit of chills as they both relaxed and sit down, even despite that. The noise of walking is heard through the cave's stairs, Kazuna seemed relaxed as Mina felt a bit scared. Once the noise of coming down became louder, it turned out to be another girl.
???: Hey, Kazuna has my friend's sister been around?
Kazuna and Mina looked at the girl.
Kazuna: No, Rein, plus that brat who nearly killed his family as a 5 year old come on. You know I am very sensetive when it comes to his family.
Rein: S-Sorry... Also I did not come alone really.
Kazuna & Mina looked with curiosity.
Rein: Y-Ye one of the heroes followed me...
Kazuna breaths in and out.
Kazuna: Who is it this time?
Rein moves aside as a boy walks in, Kazuna could only tell who he was by that long hair of his. His height is 5'9 and his hair was dark brown with green eyes.
50 minutes have passed, Vlad, Elaina & Irina watched and waited for Mina to come back... As they waited, they discussed their plan to capture the anti-hero.
Irina: So?
Elaina: It has been an hour, sure she is taking her sweet time. Anyways, Vlad where did you meet that anti-hero, where exactly?
Elaina looked at Vlad.
Vlad: Well, you know on my patrol test the pro-hero who I worked with... Me & him caught her and tried to get answers from her...
Elaina: Did she get wet by one of you?
Vlad: ... Ew and ye she did, she got wet by the pro-hero.
Elaina looks back at the cave entrance as Irina does the same.
Irina: Ok, I think Mina may have started to talk with the anti-hero inside that cave.
Elaina: Yeah... Anti-heroes do have some kind of base of operations hidden away from normal eyes and if getting location of it means to work with an anti-hero, then we will have to play on their side and see why they do what they do, why they kill or spare certain people and what are their plans for president Joe Biden...
For the government and the heroes, the anti-heroes were criminals as anti-heroes did not follow the same code as the heroes and had their own belives and benefits from what they are doing.
Irina: So, any idea why an anti-hero has to do our job to get another anti-hero out?
Elaina: Well, I don't know. Vlad choose the person, all I know is that if this benefits us we can punish that other anti-hero... And maybe contain Mina.
Irina was looking at the cave entrance a bit worried.
Irina: You sure?
Elaina: Yeah, they are criminals in our eyes. It is our job to contain them before they become too powerful or... Well... You know how it is.
Elaina seems to not want to speak much about it as she continues to look and wait. In this kind of scenario, Elaina had one goal in mind. If Mina comes out alone, she will be let go.
After another 10 minutes, they finally see someone coming out. It was Mina and she walked up to the bush and snuck in.
Mina: Aww man, that massage was relaxing~
Then Elaina's left eye was twitching...
Vlad: You had a massage inside there?
Mina: Yeah, no need to be jealous...
Elaina seemed a bit pissed off as she breaths in and out.
Elaina: Anyways... Let's get out of here.
After that, all 4 of them were out of the forest and back to that bench, Mina & Irina were standing as Elaina & Vlad were sitting down.
Elaina: So anything useful atleast?
Mina: Well, all I know is I saw a room with a ton of documents... The writing seems like they are getting information on others, I did saw your names on the folders that those documents were stored in, that is all really. They also have a workshop and make weapons, some of those weapons were used seen in that footage 2 years ago.
Vlad was listening with curiosity as he was learning more about this Adumfor anti-hero.
Mina: Otherwise, me & her did talk directly like normal anti-heroes who work together...
Irina: Seems, interesting. What is their name though?
Mina looked at Irina and took a step back.
Mina: Sorry, that is classified information.
Irina looked disappointed as she looks away.
Irina: A-Anyways... Elaina I'm off. I got business to attend to.
Elaina: Alright, take care.
Irina: You too.
Irina then turned around and walked away. Then Mina looked at Elaina and Vlad.
Mina: I'm off too, I cannot keep my boyfriend waiting after all. He is a fun one to hang around with when the day is so boring~
Vlad: Alright, take care.
Mina: ciao, take care too.
Mina then walks down and goes to the gate which leads the forest, leading to her walking away... Leaving Vlad & Elaina by themself with some information, but not enough. They then start chatting to find a way to sneak into the cave which is a base for the anti-hero and find out more about the anti-hero and what their motives are, however then Vlad's phone notification sound plays and after that he pulled out his phone to see news about...
Vlad: H-Hey, news about Devora!
Elaina then looks at his phone screen as he turns on the live stream of it...
The interviewer finds themself in a room with Devora and some jazz music playing. Then the interviewer decides to start the show by welcoming the viewers and introducing the guest, Devora. She was a young 24 year old and beautiful woman.
Jack: Hello there, world of heroes, villains, ladies & gentleman. I'm your host, Jack.
Jack: And today we are here with Devora to interview her as she is married to a member from the Tols family and she is a successful hero.
Devora & Jack waves as the noise of clapping and cheering is heard from the studio.
Jack: Anyways, Devora... Our viewers wanna start with the question, how was your day?
Devora: My day was good, let's just hope it does not turn south after this interview.
Devora drinks a bit of the cup full of vodka.
Jack: I see, it must've been a wonderful day then.
Jack looks over the chat on his tablet.
Jack: Second question, do you by any chance know the Ivanov Family or have you met one of them personally eye to eye?
Jack read that question with a bit of weird expression.
Devora: I only know them cause me & Willow Ivanova worked together to capture that one villain who could erase time or something. Otherwise, I have not talked with them for a long time. 2 years atleast, for now I plan to work with their family again soon after my vacation ends.
Jack: Interesting, alright moving on.
Jack & Devora just read through the chat like it was normal.
Jack: Alright... Question 3. Did you ever had an ex-boyfriend in your life during highschool?
Devora gives a smirk.
Devora: Of course I did, however... I dumped him the moment I knew how toxic he was, like in general toxicity is something we all have and used during somepoint of our lifes.
Devora takes another sip of vodka.
Jack: Well that was an interesting response. Now let us see here...
Jack thinks for a moment.
Jack: Question 4, have you ever cheated on your current husband with someone else?
Devora: Well... That is complicated topic to talk about... No.
Devora looked away from the camera and quietly drinks her vodka cup.
Jack: It is alright if ya do not want to answer... Anyways, question 5. Do you have any siblings and what is your opinion on them?
Devora: Well, let me start with my younger sister... She is so annoying. Commands me and someone else around when I'm visiting my family almost as if she owns me... Kinda annoying. Then my younger brother, well... He went missing years ago, he was a kind boy...
Jack then realized that the younger sister could be possibly a villain, but he stays quiet.
Jack: Alright, thank you for the response... Next question. Have you ever tried to fight some certain anti-heroes that appear on the news a lot and are high on their list? (as criminals.)
Devora drinks a bit more of her vodka cup.
Devora: Well, I did fight one before... Her name is Mina, however I lost against her during a trip in France, city was Paris at the Eiffel tower. However after her fight, I encountered couple more and after that they got away. In general those anti-heroes know what they are doing if they escape.
Jack seemed interested more into the respond where she mentioned Mina.
Jack: Alright, next question. Did you have any sexual releationships after you broke up with your ex and before ya met your husband?
Devora: Well...
Devora drinks a bit more of her cup of Vodka, leading to the cup being empty. She put it down and then breaths in and out.
Devora: Only one, however it was a one week thing. You know after the first time you have sex or just in general something that is addicting and you feel like you cannot control that urge... Which leads to you wanting more and more after each time. The only reason I had only one was cause I was able to hold myself together and think about it after ending that sexual releationship.
Jack: Urge to have sex on daily activity could be unhealthy as it effects your daily routine without it, usually leading to problems and being addicted. Seems like you've been studying.
Devora: Of course.
Jack looks for the next question as Devora was thinking about something.
Jack: Dear god... the next 10 questions will be ignored due to how they do not follow the rules!
Jack sounded pretty freaked out by those 10 questions, leaving Devora alongside Vlad & Elaina who watched the stream from the phone.
Jack: Ok here is a normal question. Devora have you ever met someone else from the Anderson Family besides Mina Anderson?
Devora: Yeah, Yurika Anderson and the parents. They are nice people... I wonder why does Mina blame them for her being this way.
Jack: Same question, why would Mina blame her good parents?
Devora: Who knows, all I know is that hope the answers would be uncovered soon...
The interview continues on for another hour, then after that the stream was over. Elaina & Vlad stand up from the bench they were sitting and start walking back their way to the capital. Both seemed pretty much a little bit tired, however they got something out for the day.
An hour passes and they arrive back in the palace, Vlad goes in as Elaina stayed out... Elaina felt followed, like someone was lurking in the shadows, she turns around and walks back down. Elaina breaths in and out...
Elaina: You can come out now, I know you're following me.
The noise of footsteps were heard, however... It turns out to be a boy... Elaina wasn't expecting that person, she was expecting Irina. The boy also was holding a katana and stands in a fighting position as Elaina looks at him...
Elaina: I-I was not e-expecting someone like you...
Elaina was stuttering a bit, is she scared? The boy then runs at her, Elaina quickly reacts and dodges as the boy tries to slash at her, then Elaina kicks the boy in the stomach knocking him back away, then Elaina starts to use her three knuckle claws manifestation for her hands and then rushes at the boy, then Elaina prepares for a punch, however... The boy dodges and slashes at her right arm, making a slash there. Leading to her bleeding on her right arm a bit, however then she grabs the katana trying to steal it from the boy... Then the boy tries to make sure the katana does not get taken.
Both continue to fight for couple of minutes, each trying to top the other and to keep the Katana on their side, then the boy kicks Elaina in the chest which leads to her letting the katana go and her falling to the ground, then the boy quickly runs at her and jumps in the air then he manages to land a blow on- . . . Energy force shield??
Then the boy turns around to see Vlad. Which leads to the boy quickly to rush and actually slash Vlad with his katana, which then Vlad fell on the ground. The boy then looks at Vlad with a cold and soulless expression as he was about to finish Vlad. He then hears the noise of an siren...
???: Well shit... The Adumfor's guards will be here any second.
The boy then proceeds to stab Vlad's left arm and then pulls out his katana slowly. Then he tries to run, however Elaina quickly jumps at him and catches him. 15 minutes later, the boy was handed over to the Adumfor elites and they took him away. One of the Adumfor elites, Sila stayed behind to bandage Vlad up.
Sila: Damn it, that kid has been causing a big mess for the past year, glad someone like you two could stop him in his tracks. In general sorry if he actually hurted you.
Sila finishes to bandage Vlad up and then she closes her first aid kit.
Vlad: It's alright, but... He was... Fast.
Sila: Yeah, his speed is pretty hard to catch on with a blind eye, usually foes these days have such high level of speed that... Well you get it.
Sila then grabbed her first aid kit and stood up, then she helped Vlad stand up.
Sila: I will protect those in need. You fought well, but not well enough.
After that, Sila walks away saying goodbye and have a good night. Elaina & Vlad enter the palace just in time for dinner and of course, the king seems a bit worried... After the dinner, Elaina & Vlad were in their room.
Elaina: So... There are people after me now?
Vlad: I guess so. After all your family is on the top 20.
Vlad was done changing his clothes to sleeping clothes and turns around to look at her.
Vlad: If they are coming after you or me, it could be Iskra's people or the chinese government. However, a boy with a sword wanted by Adumfor is sure something unrelated to both.
Vlad then looks down to grab his phone on the bed and then checks notification.
Elaina: It is weird, almost as if there are corrupted mafia bosses... However that is impossible. Adumfor is the most safe place for demons.
Elaina then sits on the bed.
Elaina: Xiang Ye would have informed us if there is any danger going under the radar.
Vlad was scrolling though his phone as he sees a friend request by "UltraX." on his discord. Obviously he accepts it.
Elaina: It feels wrong, how come Adumfor have such people?
Vlad: Of course it is, such corruption exists.
Corruption? That got Elaina more curious about what he meant by that...
Meanwhile in a hotel room in Adumfor, Mina & Ultra were discussing about early today.
Mina: You know I hate how I have to do the dirty work for those "heroes."
UltraX: You know what you gotta do to save yourself, but hey... Not every hero is the same... You just say that cause of your sister.
Ultra was washing the dishes while talking to Mina who was laying in bed.
Mina: Honestly, vacation starts off a bit bad... However I hope we pick up the pace with our daily bedtime training at night and spend more vacation, after ya done with the dishes... Come and cuddle with me again and do our training...
UltraX: Alright, sweetheart.
After a couple of minutes, he was done with the dishes and went to bed and lays next to Mina. He pats her on the head and then they cuddle.
