Psychopathic Murderers 2

There was so much blood on his hands that I began to lick them while laughing maniacally, "Ha ha ha ha….. Killing humans is so fun"

"Beta squad give report…..I repeat beta squad give report" The voice of the team leader who was outside sounded through the radio of one of the dead policemen that lay on the floor.

I picked it up and spoke into it, he enunciated his words in a way that struck fear into the heart of the team leader. 

"There is no beta squad any more….Now let me make myself clear to you. Bring to me the man named Matthew Heracles in the next two hours or else for every ten minutes that you waste my time, I'll kill one of the civilians in here….and don't try to send any more of your rats here…. I'll just end up killing them" 

After speaking, he crushed the radio communicator.

Outside the Graylon City Bank,

Several police cars were parked around the bank, there was even a chopper hovering over the building.

Yellow tape ran across the entrances of the bank preventing the crowd that had gathered in front of the bank from entering and putting themselves in the line of danger.

Some media personnel who were brave enough could be seen milling around trying to provide facts to the viewers by interrogating the policemen there who were much more concerned about the safety of the hostages inside the bank.

"Who on Earth are these psychos? 

Where are they from?  

What do they want from Mr Matthew?" These were the questions Kelvin asked himself as he heard I's request.

"How many hostages are there?" He asked a guy beside him who had a laptop placed on the hood of one of the police cars there.

"Sixteen sir" The laptop guy replied.

Actually, I and his group had vandalized all the security cameras in the building so in order to track them, they used heat signatures.

There were twenty two heat signatures that popped up on the laptop screen but given the position of six of them, he figured that those ones were the suspects and excluded them from the number by giving his boss the accurate number of hostages inside the bank. 

The team leader, Kelvin ran his hands through his brown silky straight hair and sighed "Put a call through to detective Matthew Heracles"

Kelvin was still in the academy when Mr Matthew Heracles was an active detective in the force and with all due respect, Mr Matthew was a force to be reckoned with back then…. Policemen who went on missions with him confessed that it was indeed magnificent to watch Matthew Heracles in the field, he was a natural.

…..

Ten minutes later….

"Ohh ho ho" I laughed sarcastically as he stood up from the chair where he sat, "These cops must be joking with me right?"

He walked up to the hostages that lay on the ground shivering like rain drenched chickens

"So pathetic" He said as he grabbed the head of one young man with thick and curly hair that was reddish brown in color and spat on his face. "That's what humans are…. Pathetic, weak and miserable"

He pushed the man's head back sending him back to the ground. "Your time is up…. Who should I kill first?"

A four year old boy with blonde hair and teal eyes burst into tears as he heard I's last statement, his mother started trying to comfort him as she shielded him with her body and rocked him gently. 

She was also blonde haired with teal eyes, they resembled each other so much that the mother just looked like a grown up version of her son.

The boy's sobs attracted I and he walked up to the duo, "Well well…what do we have here?"

"Oh…I know I know!" IV was saying while waving his hands wildly in the air

"Enlighten us fourth" I said with an evil grin on his face as he bent down to face the mother and her son

"A cute family!!!… hihihihi" IV said while laughing like an idiot

"And that's just too bad… because I hate cute things and I always want to destroy them and make them ugly…. so how about we start with you, young one" I said and yanked the boy from his mother's grasp, raising him up in the air with one arm

"Mommy! Mommy! Save me!" The boy screamed as he wiggled helplessly in I's hand.

"Oh hush your mouth you insolent pest…. you're making a nuisance" I said and tightened his grip on the poor boy

"Please let him go… please I'll do anything…just let him go" The mother pleaded desperately as her tears dropped all over the bloody floor.

"Really? You'll do anything" I said, a mischievous glint in his eyes

"Yes…ple.." She had barely finished speaking when he suddenly threw the boy up in front of her in a way that he would land with his head.

"Catch him if you can" I said derisively

Instinctively, she raised her head up to see her son so that she would be able to catch him but I used that as an advantage and used his sharp claws to rip her throat off. 

Unfortunately for the poor boy, he landed with his head in front of his mother's corpse and died instantly with his neck twisted in an abnormal manner.

I stepped on the dead boy's head till it cracked open and his brain matter spilled all over the floor.

"I really love to destroy cute things" 

He said and cracked up in an evil laughter.

....

Outside Graylon City Bank

"How's the situation inside?" The team leader asked,

"Two dead hostages…" The laptop guy said….a sad twinge in his voice,

"This guy is really crazy…. He killed two people after ten minutes…." The team leader was speechless and covered his mouth in shock. "Mr Heracles…. what did you do to gain such a crazy enemy?"

There was a commotion at the back and Kelvin went to see what was going on. To his greatest relief, he saw Grandpa Matt with some men behind him, all of them were dressed in a black tunic with brown boots with swords strapped to their waists.

"Mr Heracles…. Thank goodness you're here…. By any chance do you know who that man is?" Kelvin asked earnestly as he led Grandpa Matt to the front of the building.

"No…. I was hoping to ask you the same question but it seems that we're in a similar plight" He replied

"Oh…" Kelvin's voice was downcast as he was expecting to get at least a lead on the identity of the killer.

"Alright…. I'll be going in now" Grandpa Matt said as he made for the front door and beckoned to his men to follow him

"Mr Matthew…"

"Yes" Grandpa Matt said and turned to Kelvin

"Please be careful"

Grandpa Matt nodded and disappeared into the huge black double glass doors at the entrance of the building.

The Infernal Realm

Steve had finished cultivating his mana and practicing his swordsmanship, he now sat down on one of the branches of a huge tree as he studied his litanies.

Lifting his eyes from the book he was reading, he could see the beautiful purple sun of the Infernal realm sink into the landscape, it's purple hue enveloping the plants and trees, giving everything a shade of purple

Looking at Steve's amber brown eyes in the purple light, it gave off a dark plum reflection. 

The skies were clear and a soft breeze blew softly, lifting his silk like jet black hair, he felt at peace with the environment and all he wanted to do was to relish the scenery that nature had placed before him.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"Steve jerked in surprise and looked to the side to see Joaquin sitting quietly beside him,

"I didn't notice your presence at all" Steve thought as he stared deferentially at the white haired mage beside him. "When… What are you doing here"

"Same thing that you're doing"

"Studying?" Steve asked, a quizzical look in his face

"I see" Joaquin said, his emotionless face never wavering

"See what?" Steve asked in a confused tone

"You're getting stronger….. Much stronger than you were when we met at your city"

"He he, is that what this is about?" Steve said, feeling a little proud about the compliment

"…" Joaquin just stared at the setting sun without saying a thing.

"It is beautiful" Steve said in reply to the question Joaquin asked him when he came,
