Villain Chapter 2: A Glimpse of the Past

It was all over the news, the terrorist group Nameless, after causing a ruckus in the Principality, caused another in the Sethela Kingdom, that mission was to assassinate a researcher that had ties to the Stigma and the church hired us to eliminate them. Let's just say, Dr. Prism enjoyed his time toying with that researcher before killing him, considering he was exiled from Stigma for his mad scientist antics.

As I walk into our hideout truck, with Chain waiting for us,

"Nicely done, we can take a day's rest before our next mission."

Dr. Prism clapped his hands, "I say we go and test the chemical bomb more! It's such a shame that it didn't work as intended..."

Chain crossed his legs and placed his arms on top of the sofa he was sitting on, "Don't worry too much about that, try to find new silent weapons we can use."

"Roger that boss!"

Rahel runs around as she hands John some flowers,

"Here, Rahel thinks this flower reminds of John!"

The flower was withered and about to die, she sure does act like a child despite being close to my age.

Dr. Prism calls me over to his desk,

"Stella my dear, can you come over here for a second?"

I sigh and stroud over leaning to see his screen that he was pointing at,

"Doctor... what am I looking at?"

"The use of the chemical bomb, back when technology wasn't that medically advanced, these were proved to be powerful enough to even kill a hero with a velle. However, as time went on new technology became impossible for these chemical bombs to be even affected, which is why during wars they went into powerful nuclear weapons."

"And?'

"Well I was thinking, how could we bypass the current field? The chemical failed due to the facility we attacked was filled with air vents meant to suck in any dangerous chemicals, and the place was chalk filled with a defense mechanism any ordinary terrorist would have been outed and killed then and there."

We were able to break through thanks to John's strength, breaking through the metal protected walls, and Rahel's Velle which quickly spread throughout the facility, making me and Dr. Prism to enter, even after the chemical bomb failed...

"Listen Doc, why do you need me?"

"This was just for me to try and strike up a conversation my dear, however the real reason was for this."

There was a reason why people kept Dr. Prism, even if he's weird, or dangerous or anything... his skills and talent are genuine, he's a genius among the geniuses... and despite my reluctance for him in my own personal opinion he pulls up a photo...

"That's, is that... Fala?!"

I grip my fist as Dr Prism nods, "This photo, I found while scouring through the internet, seems like she was spotted in the background somewhere in the Empire, she is probably on the move by now but..."

"But she is now within my sight!"

Fala Laurie, she is my despicable sister, the same sister who burned my home... and made off with some group... the only reason why... why, I can tolerate this goddamn group...

Dr Prism sends the photo to my mail, "As promised, since you helped me with most of my experiments, I'll keep you updated on what I find."

I check the photo from my phone and nod, "Thanks doc."
