Axel and Hikara were assigned for their second mission to get a hostage back. They had to go to the Forest of Tranquility. But when they got there, they met a member of the DHO. Her name is Serperior, but apparently she said that she was Axel's best friend. Axel then tried to help her and she got away. When Axel and Hikara got back to the guild with the hostage, the hostage told Chatot what Axel did. Axel then took his sword out and sliced the hostage's head off! The only option was to run! Fighting would make things worse.
