One Week Later

Age 1991

The Báthory family household...

"I'm sorry..." Sirius said quietly. "Did you say that you failed..." He stared at the wall in front of him as a frown crossed its way onto his face.

The bloodied skeleton ignored the Noble as he reached out grabbing a black robe throwing it over himself. He gave a satisfied click of the jaw as he turned back to the Noble.

A wave of malice and killer intent rolled off the man but to the Skeleton it was all just funny antics to him.

"Answer... Now Reaper..." The Noble hissed.

Reaper gave a small smirk with his jaw as he glanced back towards the Noble. "Yeah. I failed. They all saw me. I didn't kill any of them..." He stated still smiling. "So what?"

Sirius gave a massive frown as he folded his arms up. He took a heavy intake of breath. "You... Idiot-"

Reapers arm fired up as he placed a boney finger under the Nobles chin as the man was turning around. Reapers smile never left as his empty eye sockets stared back at the man. "Watch it 'master...' You'd be well to remember." He stated in a sarcastic tone. "Don't annoy me. After all your Attribute doesn't work on me does it... No nerves. Can't feel pain. Not physically anyways."

"There's more than one way to kill you. I don't need my Attribute. I could easily crush you with my Mant-" The Noble stopped as his frown grew larger. He turned away from the skeleton as he peered at the wall. "Never mind... If this comes back to my family-"

"Relax." Reaper said calmly. "They'll come here. And when they do..." An image of Ren flashed through Reapers mind as he gave a disgusting twisted smile. "And when they do, she'll come to me!"

"...She..."

"Yes." Reaper gave a small spin as he threw his arms out. "A new beautiful toy!" Reaper gave another grin. "Don't worry boss... Those Enforcers will come. But I promise you I'll wipe them out! I think you alone could compete with them. So with our powers."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I destroyed the communications in this city-"

"You what!" Sirius's eyes flashed in horror. "How am I going to trade!"

"Relax. It'll only be down for a few weeks at most. I took it out though so that those pricks can't call for back up against me... Their stuck..."

"So... I assume you have a plan for dealing with them..." Sirius asked. "You destroyed the devices to stop any more Enforcers from being called out. But you must have another plan right?"

Reaper gave one last sinister smirk as he turned to look into the mirror that was up upon the wall in front of him. "Simple..."

"W... Well. What is it?" Sirius ordered?

Reaper turned back to look at him as his twisted soulless eye sockets flashed. "Divide. And. Conquer..." Reaper announced happily. "Those Enforcers will do all the work for all of us! They will research me. Go out and try to find more. My natural charms will make them want to know more about me... And while they're busy being split up..."

"That's when you'll strike."

"Correct!" Reaper announced proudly as he threw his arms out.

"...I see." Sirius turned away as he walked over to the window. He stared out at the black city below. "Well. I hope you considered the crime crunch that you are on."

"What? Time crunch?" The skeleton asked raising the closest thing he had to an eyebrow. "What time crunch?"

Sirius was completely silent as he slowly turned back. "That other Noble. He brought up some interesting things... A war is starting... A war that will begin here."

"It helps if you start making sense..."

"The Organization is coming..."

"The what?"

"...The Organization..."

"...Never heard of it?"

"Well... Basically they are..."

One week later...

"So," Ren said quietly. "What's the plan?" She asked.

Currently, her and Dawson were standing outside of the cites hospital.

"So far we don't know a whole lot," Dawson stated. "However. Our suspect is Tobias."

"A... A dead guy? You think that someone who is dead is our suspect?"

Dawson gave a small nod. "Yes. A dead guy. This skeletons Attribute is unheard of. That means it is unique to them. I want to check out the records of the hospital. See what they have to say about that man."

"You think he is the skeleton?"

"Yeah." Dawson folded his arms as he stared at the doors to the hospital. "The first few tapes had the same man. This man is believed to be Tobias." Dawson said simply. "It is my belief that the skeleton is Tobias. I want to come by here and look into the matter some more... See if we can figure this out... Truth is. I am glad we were hired. I wanted to stop these murders myself. But I'm an Enforcer. I'll take my duties seriously. But... Now that I've been given permission to act on act on my own..."

"You're finally going to act?"

"Exactly," Dawson said giving a nod. "I want to question the doctor who helped deliver the baby. Normally when a child is born the baby will show signs of their Attribute the moment they unleash their first cry. Sometimes this can be devastating and can lead to the death of the mother, and the baby... Especially if the child is born with a Super Attribute. God forbid the poor mother who gives birth to a child with an Ultra Attribute... Anyways. The point is, that this man will have known what this child's power was. He'll be our neat bet at discovering what it is we're looking for."

Ren gave a tiny nod of her head for a brief second as she folded her arms up. "I see..." She said finally. "I hope we can figure this out soon. The sooner we end this threat, the sooner we can get back to solving the problem of the Organization."

"Yes... That reminds me. You are trying to solve that little problem aren't you?" Dawson asked.

The two Enforcers shared a quiet look as Ren stepped back. "I don't know what you could possibly mean."

"...We'll need to discuss this later in more detail." Dawson finally said as he placed his hand on the doors to the hospital. "For now I want solve this mission. But rest assured. I will be bringing up my suspicions with your Captain."

"...I... I understand..."

Meanwhile...

"Oh my God, I'm so bored!" Ken yelled kicking out with her tiny leg and nailing Hero in the face.

"Ouch!" Hero hissed out hitting the floor. He gave a frown as he rubbed at his face. "Why!"

"I'm bored..." Ken said simply. "It has been a whole week and nothing has happened! All the adults are running around and left us here being babysitted by Nick!"

"Hey!' Nick said frown.

"Shut up Babysitter!"

The Vice-Captain let out a small sigh as he set back. "I don't like this anymore than you do..." Nick said leaning back in his chair. The four of them were all currently stuck in the hotel bored out of their minds while Dawson, Ren, and surprisingly Sif, were running around finishing this mission without them. Nick was doing research and had discovered some stuff on his own. Like how every attack happened during blizzards. Blizzards were very common here... Meanwhile, Okane and his daughter had been staying up in the top floor of the hotel. Neither had really done much save for the daughter Heather, who would often be trying to make a run for the exit only to be dragged back by her farther. "But orders are orders. Neither of you two seem to know how to follow them... You two should be more like Sera."

Hero, and Ken both slowly turned to look at the young noble girl as she fanned herself with an elegant fan. "No thanks..." Both kids said shaking their heads.

"Hey!' The girl whined.

Hero set back on the stone floor as he stared up at the roof. "Look, Ken. If you're so bored go do something then. Why not go read more of those dumb comics?"

"They aren't dumb! Also... I kind of finished all of them... I'm waiting on the next issue..." Ken pouted slightly as she folded her arms up.

"Then go make a new attack or something." Hero said casually. He let out a sigh as he stared up at the roof. "You're good at that. Unlike me. All my attacks suck..."

"You're being unusually depressed..." Nick observed.

"That skeleton man just made me mad..." Hero said giving a small shrug. "He completely beat me down, and made me feel so useless... My attacks were too flawed to even hurt him... Gah! I hate that man! I also hate myself for always making useless attacks. I have three powers! Three! How do I suck with all of them!"

"You aren't that bad at using them. I mean I've fought three Seraphin's, and all of them have simply relied on their Monster-Point forms to beat me. Also they never used those bone pipes you have. As far as I know you're the only one who has ever though to make new bones with your Monsterfication Attribute, and use them as spikes, and pipes in order to fire out the Oxygen at high speeds. You're young and stupid, but yo have real skill." Nick said casually. "You'll learn more eventually. It just takes time. For now, you should be glad you even made it this far. Truth is I was kind of expecting you be kicked out. Seraphin and all."

"I don't see why me being a Seraphin is a big deal?"

"Well there is the whole going insane thing, that will happen..." Nick said trailing off. "Also the Monster-Point which gives you the power of a Bestia Macht. Some people will even claim you are a Bestia Macht."

Hero rolled his eyes as he jumped up to his feet. "I'm not too worried about that. If that does ever happen, and I do go insane an Enforcer will be there to put me down right?"

"...Dark..." Ken said quietly.

"I'm not too worried where my life is going." Hero said casually as he stared out the window and towards the bright city above. "All I do know, is that I'm going to find her..."

"You're still going on about that?" Ken asked with a deadpan expression.

"You're still bored!" Hero rolled his eyes as he turned away from the group. He grabbed the zipper to his white jacket, zipping it all the way as he made his way over to the door. "I'm taking a walk." He called back.

"No, you're not!" Nick said jumping up. "I was told to make sure none of you leave! Besides you need a badge or key, to get back into the hotel. You haven't earned your badge, and you aren't rich to you definitely don't have a key!"

"There's a giant hole in building if I want back in I'll climb through that." Hero called reaching the door.

"For the last time, I said-"

'Click'

The door slid open as Hero stepped out, into the frozen city.

"I hate kids!" Nick shouted.

"I'll go after him," Ken said rolling her eyes.

"No! I'm not losing another-"

'Click'

Ken stepped outside into the snowstorm.

"...Sera... Don't even think about it..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Sit down Sera..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

'Click'

"I swear to God!" Nick watched the Noble girl slide out the door as he stood in the entrance alone. "Great!" He shouted throwing his arms up into the air. "Now I gotta go after them." He let out a sigh as he made his way over to the door stepping out. "Man... Sif is gonna kill me..."
