The Fifth Division

Chapter 2 - The lightning crest.

"Boss,Carl, Jeannette, Billy get a move on!" . Drake was getting impatient; it was his first time on Red level mission.

"Alright,just be patient, the boss is addressing the  kid" said Carl with an annoyed expression.

"Seriously? You're still calling me kid?" Damon was irritated.

"Look kid I don't know you, as far as we know you might be a spy for Isaac". Carl replied bluntly.

"Who the hell is Isaac?" Damon questioned Carl.

Jeannette came out of nowhere and said
"He's our sponsor" .

"You're sponsor?"

Jeannette showed some pride."Yes, as you know we work in an organization called 'The Divisions", we are private contractors hired to do anything we're paid to do; assassinations, treasure hunting, Intel gathering etc." 

"So you're like mercenaries?"

"Yes in a way. Anyways the people who hire us to do a certain job are called our sponsors; and Isaac is a regular sponsor.'

"Wait, if he's your sponsor, why would he want to set spies on you?"

"To make sure if we are doing our jobs and aren't disobeying his requests, Isaac makes us do unique jobs. These jobs are very dangerous ,high leveled and personal, so it's easy not to trust us mercenaries."

"Then why even do his jobs?."

"Because he pays well. Jeannette replied elegantly.

"Huh, then what's your current mission?"

"We're here for the lighting crest"

"Lightning crest?"

"Yes, one of the legendary crests, haven't you heard about them?"

"No not really" .But Damon of course was lying, as he knew more about the crests than any one of them..

"Okay look, long ago during the time of the Roman empire, Many mortals discovered the legendary crests. These crests were owned by the likes of Zues, Hades ,Poseidon and other gods. They ruled over the world and recruited anyone with a crest ability, labeling them as gods."

Damon turned away, remembering all the times when his master told him the same story.

"It was all going well, until the revolt. The gods let the power get to their heads and therefore got cocky; all the gods were despised from that point on. Now all the descendants of these gods(demi-gods) attained their ancestor's power. The Crest of Strength was the only crest attained from Zues-which was given to hercules- but none of the descendants of Zues have ever had his lightning crest."

Damon was still quiet; not a word came out of his mouth. 

Carl came throught he door 

"Alright! let's go!"

 All the members of the team came out-fully equipped- And clung to the trees.
There was a certain tension in the air, as thd division had a new ally. No one trusted Damon, his presence there wasn't a coincidence.

John and his team started going towards their target; to the lightning temple. John recalled on Damon's two swords. They weren't any ordinary swords; a certain aura reeked from them. Damon was hiding something and John knew it. The only person who trusted Damon was Jeannette, but she could even trust the devil; that's just how naive she was.

Tension was in the air. The team was jumping from one tree to another. Everyone there was exceptional at this because all of them were highly trained assassins, but Damon stood out. He clinged from tree to tree - hardly touching the branches for even a second-as if he had been doing it all his life. He was starting to leave the team behind.
Carl started to doubt his new ally.
