Guardians of New York: The Rising [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 15 - Proper Plan

Bellatrix arrived with her most necessary materials and books. It didn't take too long for her to explain.

"This is very bad indeed," the Spotted Owl said. "Your zoo may be at risk since they may find you here."

"Oh man. Dude, do you know what this means?" Nitch turned to his twin brother.

"The end of the world?"

"No, no! This means ACTION and we will be real life SUPERHEROES!" Nitch beamed.

His brother didn't look settled, but he nodded nevertheless. "Okay, if you say so." Mitch slowly turned towards the penguins and his owl friends.

Skipper looked very determined. "They are the ones who will be at risk. Not us. That bird's society is nothing compared to us."

"Don't take it too lightly, Skipper," Bellatrix notified. "Those owls know what they are up to. I have seen their actions through my eyes. Cruelty is their middle name."

Skipper folded his arms, unconvinced.

"The Pure Bloods have started to slowly grow since the past few months. Their leader, whose name is Vor the Savage. The most dangerous owl on earth, so far." Bellatrix continued, but soon Silvius broke in.

"After the Pure Ones of course," Silvius muttered. "They typically copied the Pure Ones's title, and only added Bloods. That is dumb."

"I agree. Of course, Metal Beak and Nyra have passed way, but there is a new owl that wants to do worse. I am not sure of Vor society's status or what he has been up to lately. He rarely comes out, and only sends his two soldiers, Jepp and Nash, out to capture and kidnap other owls for their leader's benefit. Soon, he would make an owl army," Bellatrix closed her book, The Pure Bloods. A book she kept to keep track of this dark society.

"Very dark indeed," Kowalski said, "and probably it is better to start finding these 'Pure Bloods'."

"Keyra and I can go and find them," Sapphire volunteered. "We will find where the society is and capture them!"

Keyra coughed. "Um, excuse me, after what happened? No way."

"Come on, won't be so bad," Sapphire said.

"I don't think this will ever happen," Skipper interrupted the two. "I think it is better to find those soldiers, if they ever come back, capture them, and force them to speak."

"Why not attack at once?" M&N suggested.

"Let's stab them to the death!" Silvius stomped.

"RAAAAGH!" Rico agreed. Silvius smiled.

The argument went on and on. Finding a plan was hard, a proper plan to be precise. Everyone suggested a plan or an idea of their own, but more and more seemed to pop up more of a sudden. Private, on the other hand, didn't participate at all. He knew what was to come. Evil always returns. But that was a new kind of evil that he has never heard about. He was slowly panicking, but he didn't dare show it. He listened to all of their ideas and he would just nod. Ah well, maybe that is what he is good at.

Hestor was panicking as the nights passed. The kidnapped grew fierce, even Brice almost looked like he was out of his mind already. That poor Whiskered Screech. He was old enough to be a grandpa. Hestor realized that this owl had scars on it face and on its wings too. Brice could even barely walk properly. What had gone with him?

The Sooty also realized something weird. That new Masked Owl that he met, Devyn, was telling him dark secrets about this shady society. The Pure Bloods have started horrid crimes before, Vor attempting to kill other leaders who ruled bigger lands, and also being told that Vor has a hidden scar. Hestor tried to forget those rumors. They tickled his brain and heart every second he thought about that ugly owl.
