==Chapter Twenty-Six: Current Events==
The next morning, Omega Squad were in their quarters.
"How are we going to stop that thing?" Rose asked.
"I don't know..." Thorn said.
The TV turned to life. A news report by Felicity Cat was on.
"This just in. Another victim has been found dead in Westopolis. This makes the count to four. The autopsy report states that he died similar to the other three victims found in Westopolis, as well as the five found in Soleanna." Felicity said.
"Five deaths..." Kyle said. He ran to the library. Thorn followed him.
"I've been looking in to something called 'The Five-Fold Death Ritual'." Kyle said.
"What's that?" Thorn asked.
"It's five of the most powerful human qualities: Warriors, Healers, Philosophers, Virgins, and Guardians." Kyle said.
"Warriors are fighters, healers heal, philosophers teach, virgins abstain, and guardians protect." Thorn agreed.
"Didn't Jonathon say the Hellhound kills for strength?" Kyle asked.
"What if these murders have been the means for it becoming more powerful." Thorn suggested.
Rose and Cocoa walked into Omega Squad's quarters. Honey was drawing numerous pictures.
"Who knew you were a budding artist." Rose said.
Honey looked up, her eyes glazed over. She returned to drawing.
Cocoa took the piece of paper from her. Honey grabbed another sheet of paper and began drawing once more.
"What is that?" Rose asked.
"It looks like...a hand coming out of the ground?" Cocoa suggested.
Honey blinked.
"Oh, hey guys." she said. "When did you come in?"
"Just now." Rose said. "What were you drawing?"
"I was drawing?" Honey asked. "I had just gone to sleep..."
"Yeah, you were drawing some pretty weird stuff." Cocoa said.
"Cocoa!" Rose scolded.
"It's okay." Honey said.
"I think...I think I need to be at home for a little while." Honey told them.
She went outside the Fortress.
"Honey!" a cat called.
"Dad...?" Honey asked.
"Hi, Honey." her father Cale said. "I was worried about you."
"What are you doing here?" Honey asked.
"I've been investigating the murders that happened in Westopolis and Soleanna." Cale explained. "I was hoping Commander Tower would be of assisstance."
"His office is on the top floor." Honey said.
"Honey...I was hoping you could come with me." Cale said.
"Maybe another time. I'm really busy right now." Honey said.
She left her father outside.
Later, Quartz went to Honey's side.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Not really." Honey said. "My dad is back."
"What's wrong? You guys don't have a good relationship?" Quartz asked.
"My parents are divorced. My dad lives in an apartment complex, while my mom and I live in the house I grew up in." Honey said. "Well, whenever my mom's around. She works as a forensic scientist in Station Square."
"I'm sorry." Quartz said. "My dad died when I was young, and my mom tried to help us as best she could."
"Yeah, I heard." Honey said. She smiled at him.
Rose and Cocoa were taking a walk outside the Fortress.
"I hope Honey's okay." Rose said.
"She'll be fine." Cocoa said, holding her hand.
Nightshade appeared in front of them.
"Hello Rose." she said.
"Nightshade!" Rose exclaimed.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I hear you have a hellhound on the loose." Nightshade said.
"What's it to you?" Rose asked.
"I do not wish to have a creature of darkness attempt to kill me." Nightshade said. "I want to help you defeat it."
"And we should trust you...because?" Cocoa asked.
"My magic has weakened since my...resurrection." Nightshade said. "But I believe I can perform a tracing spell so that we can track down the hellhound. First I recquire the proper ingredients."
"We'll help you." Rose said.
"But Nightshade...I have to ask." Rose said. "Why did you choose me?"
"Rose, I chose you because you are of the two most powerful bloodline's in existence." Nightshade said.
"My grandfather was the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow the Hedgehog." Rose said. "What other bloodline are you talking about?"
"You shall soon find out, given time." Nightshade told her.
"You said you needed ingredients." Cocoa said. "What are they?"
"Mistletoe, Wolfsbane, and Belladonna." Nightshade said.
"We'll get them for you." Rose said.
Nails walked out into the woods to meet with Jonathon.
"I'm sorry, Jonathon I can't keep spying for you." Nails said.
"Very well." he said.
"That's it?" Nails asked. "I thought you were going to kill Noon if I didn't spy."
"No, I simply told you the one you cared for would die." Jonathon said. "I never said I would kill him."
"Good-Bye Jonathon." Nails said, tired of listening to him. She flew off back to the Fortress.
Anger flashed in Jonathon's eyes.
The hellhound waited in a dark alley of Westopolis...
