Two weeks later, I hear a motorcycle approaching, probably Alice, the only one who owns a motorcycle. I walk out of my house and watch her park. We weren't the only ones out there and she was being stared at by a lot of people, but they were leaving her alone, everyone knows exactly why she was here and we were all standing by.
Alice: What are all your friends waiting for?
Wamien: That I gave them the signal to change because you have their location.
Alice: I have three.
I raise my hand in the air and make a circle with my index finger. Quickly, everyone goes home to put on their suits.
Wamien: So I owe you 75 grand?
Alice: It's okay, you know how to do math.
Wamien: Thank you, do you have this on paper or something?
Alice carries her hand towards her jacket pocket and throws a phone at me. I catch it without any problem.
Alice: You will make a payment to me on the bank app of the tel and you will receive the exact coordinates of their bases.
Wamien: Okay, thank you Alice, anything else?
Alice: No, nothing.
Alice turns around and gets back on her bike. She makes the engine hum and then leaves. I'm going home. Clara looks at me and bites her lip.
Clara: Was it her?
Wamien: Yes, I'll do the transfer and we'll get the coordinates of their hiding places.
Clara: Are you going to be careful, hm?
Wamien: Aren't you coming too? We're going to need you.
Clara: Do you think so? All right.
I'm watching Clara go change. I look at the phone and send the amount that was left to pay. Immediately, I received the locations with several photos where we see Saeko, Flynn, Kellan and the others. I activate my armor to see that everything is fine. It was a synthetic alloy, so it does not respond to magnets but to short signals I send, as long as I keep a distance of more than ten meters from it, it should not be able to hurt me.
Clara comes back and I smile at her, her costume looks good on her.
Wamien: You look beautiful, my darling.
Clara: As always Waminou.
I come to give him a kiss on the cheek and then go to the door to see how the others are doing. Kameron, Theo, Gabriel and Thomas were finishing preparing the cars. All had their costumes and the members were finishing their preparations.
Kameron: Where do we go first?
Wamien: three kilometers south of Allev, it's their nearest possible hideout.
Kameron: Do you have the coordinates?
Wamien: I can take care of getting them in. Don't worry.
Kameron: Okay.
He probably went back home to see what Kemyanne was doing. I connect to the cars and enter the coordinates for the first destination. I hear Theo calling me. I turn to him.
Theo: Should we install that too?
He points at me metal barrels that contain the gas for inhibitors.
Wamien: Yeah, we definitely need it.
Theo: What is it?
Wamien: The inhibiting gas against them.
Theo: Oh, seriously?
Wamien: Yeah, but we'll have to be careful because we'll be affected too. That's why I have some in the shape of a syringe.
Theo: Brrr, I hate needles.
Wamien: It's not for you, so everything's fine.
Theo smiles a little and lifts the barrel to install it on the lead car. I watch everyone arrive, we're just finishing getting into the cars. I am in the lead car with Clara, Kameron, Kémyanne and Hiro. Everyone finishes getting in the vehicles and we leave. Once again, we have a special authorization to cross borders. I could easily hack them and open them for our passage, but that's not my style. I contact Darakei and wait for him to answer.
Darakei: Yes Wamien?
Wamien: We have their coordinates, we're on our way. We'll get them!
Darakei: What? How did you get this?
Wamien: I placed an order with a girl who works for the Shadow Clan.
Darakei: Are you serious? You shouldn't do business with people like that, they're dangerous.
Wamien: Not as much as the Black Eagles and the Legion...
He doesn't seem happy to hear that.
Darakei: Well, it's true, but they're still going to expect things from you now.
Wamien: If that's what it takes to stop them, I don't care.
Darakei: Anyway, if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate.
Wamien: Exactly, we're going to need transportation if we're going to get the Black Eagles out of the country. For The Legion, they're probably going to be imprisoned in Giotry.
Darakei: Okay, how many transports do I send?
Wamien: Uh, three? That should be enough.
Darakei: All right, I'll take care of it.
Wamien: Thank you Darakei.
Darakei: Be careful though.
Wamien: We are well equipped, thanks to you.
Darakei: Yeah. I'll talk to you later.
Wamien: That's right.
I hang up and Clara looks at me. I can feel her worried. I take her hand and caress her gently.
Clara: What if they're waiting for us?
Wamien: We'll stop beforehand and I'll hide the vehicles.
Clara: Oh, good idea.
After 4 hours of driving, we arrive near the first location. We all get out of our vehicles and I look towards the building. We're a mile away, I should be able to smell the cameras if there are any. I close my eyes to concentrate. I can detect five mobile phones and other devices, but no cameras. I jam the phones, it will prevent the occupants of the place from contacting the others.
I show others where to press so that the car camouflage system is activated. I look at the members of the Guild.
Wamien: Well, I don't know how many people are there. But I detected at least five phones, they won't be able to contact the others because I scrambled them. Sam, can you go do a scouting to see who's there?
Sam: With pleasure.
Kemyanne: I'm going too.
Wamien: Perfect, we're waiting for you.
Sam show his wings, his suit had two slits through which his wings could pass without problems. He goes behind Kemyanne and takes her in his arms before he starts flying towards the building.
Sam gets to the roof quickly. Kemyanne felt a little nauseous, not used to this kind of travel. Sam comes down from the roof to a balcony. Kemyanne follows him. She turns to the wall, inhales and exhales to concentrate and passes her head through the wall. She spends the rest of her body to cross over completely. Sam takes off again to land at a window and try to see members of the Black Eagles or The Legion.
After five long minutes of waiting, we have news from them. Sam's texting me.
Sam: "There are 4 people, Gwen, Jon, Kaya and Hug"
He sends me their pictures. I tell them to wait for us before they take action.
Wamien: We know there is Gwen, she has a petrifying power, so avoid looking her in the eye. There's Jon, a power of elasticity. You'll excuse me, Todd, but his weakness is the cold.
Todd: Glad that at least we have his weakness.
Wamien: Yes, there is also Kaya, she manages to manipulate people, I don't yet understand how, but if we knock her out fast enough, we won't have to worry. There's also Hug, Tim I'll let you handle it, it has a tenfold strength and is faster.
Tim: Anyway, he's not as strong as I am, that's for sure.
So several of us go to the building in question, Louann, Gabriel, Tim, Sarah, Sandrine and myself are the first to go there. Sam and Kemyanne are waiting for us on the roof. We arrive near the building, a side where there are no windows, Sam and Kémyanne come down to join us.
Sam: So what do we do?
Wamien: We enter, locate and neutralize them...
Louann: Neutralize how?
Wamien: We block their power, we prevent them from doing harm.
Tim: So what are we waiting for?
Wamien: Let's go. I will take care of Gwen, Louann and Gabriel of Jon, Tim of Hug, Sarah and Sandrine of Kaya.
Gabriel: Then let's go.
I go to the side of the door and enter first, sending a sonic bomb to knock out those nearby. There was Hug, Tim passed me and slab him against the wall very quickly. Hug yell what will probably alert the others. He hits Tim, who is very resistant to hits. Kaya arrives and Sarah and Sandrine stand in front of her and create explosions to blind her. Jon arrives and Louann and Gabriel send ice to him, cooling him down enough that he can't become elastic. He turns around and tries to escape. Louann and Gabriel follow him. I'm going to look for Gwen. She looks at me, I close my eyes and activate reflectors in my body. Gwen screams and turns to stone. I disable the reflectors and turn to others. Tim looks at me, he kept Hug pressed against the ground, one hand against his neck. Hug was trying to get out of Tim's grip. Kaya was hiding her eyes and trying to move forward despite the heat of the explosions. I go next to Tim and inject the liquid inhibitor into Hug's body. Hug trembles and returns to his human form. I'm going next to the girls.
Wamien: All right, stop it.
The two girls stop and I run to Kaya and inject her with the inhibitor, she has time to put her hand on my arm. I feel like she's trying to charm me, but since it's not my arm, it doesn't really work, her power is quickly suppressed by the serum. She's trying to scratch me and tear up the synthetic skin a little bit. I step back and the girls handcuff her. Kemyanne also handcuffs Hug. I go out and Jon is thrown at my feet. Sam had caught up with him. Louann and Gabriel teamed up to keep the air cold around Jon. Jon is looking at me.
Jon: You'll never stop us.
Wamien: Oh, but you're wrong, we're going to arrest you.
I'm injecting him with the serum. I'm sending a signal to those at a distance to approach the cars. I'll see what's going on with Gwen, she's still in the rock. I sighed, not knowing if it would be definitive or if it would fade with time. We'll have to lock her in a cell and maybe one day she'll get out of there. I hear cars coming and going. There were two trucks coming from GenCorp. The officers have the three Legion members locked up and I explain to one of the officers to stay close and make her look in the mirror if she comes out of there. I also give him an injection of the serum. We leave with one of GenCorp's agents to go to the second place, four kilometres northeast of Vitness.
After two hours of driving, we arrive close. I concentrate and manage to detect a few cell phones. Sam and Kemyanne are still going on reconnaissance. Sam comes back with Kemyanne.
Kemyanne: Oh, there are Renji and Suna, I'm sure.
Wamien: Perfect, we take care of them quickly and then we leave for the last place.
Everyone nods.
Wamien: Renji has a power of weapon manipulation, so if we stop him from taking a weapon in hand, he should be fine. Suna controls the electricity in the wires.
Sam: So who's going?
Angelique: I'll go, I'll blind them.
Wamien: Okay, who else?
Thomas: Me
Thalie: I'm going too.
Wamien: All right, then let's go.
Angelique enters first and sends her light everywhere in the room. I give two doses to Thalie who turns into liquid. She goes behind Renji and puts a dose in his neck. Thomas is heading for Renji to tackle him on the ground. Angelique stops her light and I run to Suna to give her another dose. She hits me and I move back a little bit and hit her too. My fist being much stronger than hers, she moves back against a wall, knocked. I made him put the handcuffs on and Thomas kept Renji on the ground while Thalie put the handcuffs on him. Kemyanne had gone around the place and came back close to us.
Kemyanne: No one else.
Wamien: All right, let's get them on board and get the last ones.
We get into action so that GenCorp's agents can take care of them and we leave for the last destination. Halfway through, we stop to eat, everyone is hungry, except me. I have the adrenaline in the ceiling. Clara takes my hand to calm me down.
Clara: It's going to be okay, Wamien, we're all tired and we need to get some strength back.
Wamien: I know, but the longer we take before we stop them, the more likely they'll find out what happened at the other two hiding places and run away.
Darakei calls me.
Wamien: Yes Darakei?
Darakei: We got to the last place, we secure the area so they don't run away.
Wamien: Perfect Darakei, thank you. We're halfway there, we'll be there soon.
Darakei: Well, I hope they won't notice anything.
Wamien: I hope so. All right, I'll see you later.
Darakei: Yes.
I hang up and get up.
Wamien: Come on, let's go, let's finish them off!
Many get up and return to their vehicles, others finish eating the last bites and follow. We quickly get back on the road to their base, which is six kilometers west of Cavam, quite close to the ocean, so they may have a runaway point over there. I wonder who I could send to watch. I have time to find out before we get to the last location.
After 3 hours of driving, we finally arrive. Gabriel and Gaia were going to settle near the sea to block the place and prevent them from fleeing. Three GenCorp agents were going to install barrels to stifle the powers of the Legion and the Black Eagles. It's confirmed that they're there according to the heat detectors. I close my eyes, inhale and exhale. I'm just stressing out hoping it goes well. I get out of the car and Darakei comes closer, there's a man following him.
Wamien: Hi Darakei.
Darakei: Hi, this is Daryl, he has a power of gravity.
Wamien: Nice to meet you, Daryl, I'm Wamien.
Daryl: Nice to meet you. So we finally stop them.
Wamien: Exactly.
I turn to the door. I'm waving to everyone to follow me. Drake and Saeko go out and see us coming.
Saeko: They are coming! The assholes are coming!
Drake starts running and it is now that he realizes that he is not going fast at all.
Drake: What?
I start running towards them. Everyone else is leaving the building, even Flynn and his two sisters. Kellan comes to stand in front of Drake to protect him. I punch Kellan under the chin as he moves back, Drake has just enough time to settle before Kellan ends up on his back. Saeko jumps on me and tries to scratch and bite me. Kameron sends fire to Saeko who must be hiding. I place my foot on her belly and push her back by giving her a good push. Kameron keeps her at a distance. Angelique sent her light to Yuu to blind her and prevent her from controlling the shadows around her. Ray couldn't do anything and was panicking a little in his corner. Jack puts Ray in handcuffs. Flynn tries to control the metal things around us, but without success. I run towards him, angry in my eyes. Flynn pulls out a gun and points it at me. He shoots, I try to dodge, but a bullet goes into my shoulder. I make a little face and hit him in the head. He steps back and tries to shoot me, I dodge two more shots and take his gun out of his hands. I put him on the wall and inject him with a dose of the inhibitor to make sure he doesn't use his power. I put the cuffs on him and hold him by the collar. Flynn grunts and tries to push me away. He starts floating in the air.
Flynn: Wow! What is...
All those who have been neutralized begin to float. I see Daryl's doing this. I look around me. Looks like we stopped them all. I hold my arm in place, I can barely control it. I close my eyes, GenCorp takes care of the Legion and the Black Eagles. I sigh and smile a little.
Clara: Waminou, Waminou, are you all right?
Wamien: Yes, I'm just going to have to fix my arm, but I'll be fine.
Clara: Are you sure about that?
Wamien: If we're done with them, yes, I'm fine.
I smile at him and give her a kiss on the forehead.
Wamien: Let's go join the others.
Clara nods and we go back after others. GenCorp's agents would put the masks on with the inhibiting gas. I sit in the car, Darakei comes to see me.
Darakei: I want to thank you for what you have done.
Wamien: Thank you Darakei.
Darakei: Legion members will be sentenced and locked up. The same goes for the Black Eagles.
Wamien: Perfect. I think Gwen is stuck in her stone.
Darakei: Really? Well, what do we do now? I know that some people have become human again after a while, so it is possible that they may be fine.
Wamien: Yeah well, let's go home. I have to fix my arm.
Darakei: Go home, I'll take care of the rest.
Wamien: Thank you Darakei. I'll see you later.
Darakei shakes my hand and leaves with his agents, as well as members of The Legion and the Black Eagles. So we go back to the base, but I fall asleep on the way. When I woke up, we were at the base. I get up and look at Clara who smiles at me gently.
Clara: We've arrived at the house, darling.
Wamien: I saw that, sweetheart. Come on, let's go home.
I get out of the car and walk to the door. Clara passes me and opens it before me.
Clara: Come on, go fix it, I'll make you something to eat.
Wamien: Thank you, darling.
I give her a kiss and go fix my shoulder and arm.
It has been a week since the Legion and the Black Eagles were arrested, the civilians know that it was us, the Guild, who arrested them, several media groups are trying to contact us, but I refuse any conferences on this subject. In any case, Legion members have already been tried individually for the murders they have committed. The Black Eagles are locked up and kept separate each in different places. I finally sigh gently for peace, relaxation and now our goal is to better control our powers and become stronger.
