Ch 34: Nemesis

/6 Months Later/

In some part of the Pacific coasts of Japan, there was a warehouse, and it seemed to be abandoned from the outside. However, in the inside there were multiple mercenaries moving machinery and other equipment through the building.

"Boss, we have the 'merchandise' ready for their delivery." Spoke a mercenary to the man in front of him.

"Very good. What about our 'VIP product'?" Asked the man while looking through the window all the operation.

"One of the guy had some 'funny' ideas about it, so I executed him in the spot as a warning for the others." He had a cold expression, not showing a bit of remorse in what he has done.

"You have done your job well. We only sell thing of quality, I am not right?"

"Yes, Sir."

"You can leave." The man instructed.

The mercenary just nodded and got out from his boss office.

The man seemed to be near to his middle age, with blond short hair and black eyes. Even if he seemed like someone calm, kind and elegant, in reality he was manipulative and cruel. His name was Heath Oslo, or at least that's how others call him due to not knowing his real name.

He was wearing a red wine business suit; however, it wasn't a normal one. If one paid attention, he or she could see that the suit was made with a strong and flexible material, also counting with some runes on it. It was a late model that his researchers developed after seven months of work.

He walked towards the cabinet of his office, and from there he took a bottle of Louis Rodere. After his last business with the OSD to take care of Kusakabe Asako, he bought himself a complete reserve of the wine as a celebration.

Now, his name was going to be recorded in the history of the supernatural world as the man that killed 'The Blue Nightmare'.

"Hahaha." Just remembering that day made him laugh lightly while pouring the red liquid in his glass.

(The envoy of that demon marquis must be arriving soon.) He thought for himself.

Oslo was very well-known as a terrorist but also as a businessman for those whose business aren't legal for the system in the supernatural world.

Now, his next sell will be about a great amount of 'merchandise' for the demon to enjoy himself. Of course that merchandise were all women, and very young in fact, being either humans or devils, but neither angels nor fallen angels because it was bothersome to deal with them.

Oslo thought that it was a waste of resources, and he wanted to keep them as his future assassin squad that he was starting. Nevertheless, business were business after all.

In addition, about the VIP product, she seemed to be quite problematic. Due to her being half-devil, she was stronger than a normal human was, and if it wasn't all she was a very elusive in their chase. At least until they caught her a week ago.

He took a sip from his glass and then a green magic circle appeared in the floor of his office. However, he was calm and his smile widened as if his wait just finished.

In the magic circle appeared a woman with almond colour skin, golden eyes looking like the ones of a cat, short white spiky hair and two black-green horns on the top of her head. She was wearing a black armor with green lines on the top of her body, showing only the centre of her cleavage until her button belly, and her hands showing sharp menacing claws; she was also using black boots with white pants.

"*Whistle* I must admit that you are very good looking. Maybe from your mother?" Said Oslo to the female demon.

"I came here by orders of Master Zolgear to pick up the 'goods'. My name is Zest." She presented herself after stating the purpose of her arrival.

"Of course. Let me guide you."

/At the same time; Outside the warehouse/

The female silhouette placed herself with her belly on the ground while carrying a black sniper rifle with red and blue stripes aiming towards the building. The model seemed similar to an Accuracy International, but with some modifications.

"Huntress to Queen Rose and Nemesis. I'm in position." She said while pressing the button of her radio.

"Here Queen Rose. The rats are in the bag, I repeat, the rats are in the bag." Said another female voice in the radio.

"Nemesis here. Ready to bring divine punishment to the sinners." A male but younger voice also spoke through the radio

"Fufufu. You are being exaggerated." Said Queen Rose.

"They tried to kill a member of our family. It's an unforgivable sin against us." Said Nemesis.

"Yes, yes. You two have a good hunt. I'm going to exterminate some 'plagues'."

"Who is being exaggerated now?" Said Nemesis in a joking way.

"Dummy. I'm still in the better case."

"You two, cut it out. We are on a mission here, remember?" Said Huntress in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Aww. It seems that our little wolf is jealous." Said Queen Rose in a teasing way.

"Don't worry, once we return I'll pamper you all you want." Said Nemesis.

"Hmph. You better do it. And in exchange I will cook you a great meal." Said Huntress.

"Please don't." Both Queen Rose and Nemesis spoke at the same time with a trace of panic in their voices.

(Assholes.) Huntress thought

/In the warehouse/

Two mercenaries were protecting the main gate, making sure that no one else apart from their companions would enter. However, because the warehouse was in an isolated place with no towns in the surroundings, there was nothing else to do.

"Hey, Richard. Don't you want to have some of fun." Said a mercenary.

"What kind of fun?" Asked the mercenary named Richard.

"You know what I mean." The other mercenary said while making a dirty smile.

Seeing his expression, Richard almost panicked. "Don't you dare! Didn't you hear what happened to the last guy who tried to have 'fun' with one of them?!"

"Yeah, I did. But what about the others?" Asked the mercenary. "It has been a while since I did it with a woman. I miss those moments when I made them scream."

"You can't do it with them either. You know the rules, 'don't damage the merchandise'. Be patient." Said Richard trying to convince his partner to not commit 'suicide by accident'.

"Ok, ok, I understand. But damn! That VIP product is very hot. If she weren't an important product then I would have already 'attacked' that young lady."

"She is older than you, you know?"

"Doesn't matter. The age is just a number for beautiful women." Said the mercenary with a prideful expression.

"Well, that's true." Said another person, but his voice was younger than the other two.

"Right? Wait. Who are-" Before he could finish his sentence, a blade sliced his neck, decapitating him and letting his blood got out form his sliced neck as a red fountain.

"Eeek." Richard fell on his butt; he pointed his gun at the person who killed his companion.

However, before he could pull the trigger, a projectile collided with his gun, destroying it into pieces.

Richard couldn't hear any gunshot but he knew that a sniper had him locked in his or her sight, ready to shoot at any moment.

"No, no. We don't want to make so much noise, yet." Said the person who seemed to be a kid due to his stature, which was resembling to a children's.

Alas, Richard didn't underestimated him. His attacker had a red mask covering his mouth and left eye, with red bright fangs in the mouth. His right eye was shining with a red ominous light.

He was wearing a black jacked with blue and red lines and a hood covering the top of his head.

In addition, a menacing metallic tail with the blade of a spear on the tip was coming out from his lower back, making him look like a demon that arrived to earth for blood.

His tail then pointed towards the poor Richard's neck.

"You decide. You talk and I kill you without pain, or, you don't and I'll torture you until I got what I want."

Richard couldn't speak. He was too terrified to even try to get up and run away, and he was pissing his pants, literally.

"Gross." Said the kid. "Well, seeing that you won't talk I will have to torture you."

"W-Wait! I will talk!"

"Sorry~. Too late." The child was smiling under his mask.

"No, no. Ahhhhhhhh!"

/Meanwhile, in another side of the building/

Zest turned her sight towards certain direction, attracting the attention of Oslo.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"It's nothing." She said.

She certainly felt something in the distance, but it was too brief to be something dangerous. Even so, she lifted her guard in case of anything.

"Very well, then let's continue." Oslo continued walking and Zest followed him from behind.

They walked through a hall filled with prison cages and in the inside were a group of terrified girls, hugging each other in an attempt of comforting themselves.

When Zest saw that scene, she couldn't help but feel disgusted at how they were treating not only humans, but also demons and devils. All of them girls, being treated as cattle. With such thoughts, she started to question her creator's intentions with those girls.

However, as soon as she started to doubt, a bright yellow tattoo manifested in her neck, and she started to feel painful jolts of electricity in all her body, but she didn't show it in the outside.

She began to take deep breaths and to say a mantra in her mind (Don't think, don't think, don't think.) Then the tattoo in her neck started to fade along with the pain.

"How many?"

"As your master ordered, there are 5 humans, 3 devils and 3 demons ready for their deliver." Said Oslo with enthusiasm.

"Very well." She extended her hand to her side and a briefcase appeared in it. "This is your payment. All in dollars as you asked."

Oslo then took the brief case in his hands and then opened it to check if the containing was all in order.

Seeing the dollar bills made him smile. He finally had enough founds for the next step of his assassins squad.

"It's a pleasure to make business with you." He extended his hand to her to close the deal.

She, however, felt reluctant to do so. She didn't want to touch a man who treated women as if they were just a product. But this was a needed formality

Just when she was about to shake his hand...

*BOOOOM!*

The sound of an explosion echoed through the building.

"What happened?" Asked Oslo annoyed.

"Boss, I received reports from the others that most of our vehicles were destroyed with some kind of explosive." A mercenary spoke.

"How many?"

"At least twelve SUVs, three transport trucks and your private helicopter, Boss."

"How did you let someone destroy almost all our vehicles?" Oslo was enraged, the helicopter was modified by his specifications and it costed a great amount of money, and all of that was lost in a single explosion. "Who is attacking us?"

"We don't know."

Suddenly the mercenary was grabbed from the collar of his uniform.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Boss!" Said another mercenary carrying a monitor in his hands

"What?!" Asked Oslo with a shout.

"We have image of the attacker."

After hearing him, Oslo took the monitor and started to watch the images in the security cameras.

/Meanwhile, in another part/

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" Yelled the leader to his companions in a panicked way while shooting continuously his assault rifle.

"It's useless, sir! He is blocking all our bullets!"

"No, no-"

One of the mercenaries pleaded until a wolf's jaw devoured his head, playing with his body like if it was a broken doll.

"S-Stay away!"

A claw butchered another mercenary not long before through his stomach.

The leader's gun magazine was already empty, but he didn't stop pulling the trigger and he just only stood in his place, while watching how his men were being slaughtered and devoured by the monster in front of him.

Finally, the screams stopped, leaving only the scene of pools of blood, limbs and organs scattered through the floor.

"W-What are you?" Asked the leader to the being in front of him, while looking at it in its red crimson eye.

In the back of the 'monster', two wolves' heads were formed and they growled as if they were waiting for their next meal.

"I am, Nemesis." He said.

Then the wolves started to devour the leader like greedy beasts.
