"You heard him. Let's hunt some fucking dragons!"
James Ross, Mike, Bell Old-city, and the blue gentleman Hein Eduard, with few police officers, were close to the Blood Bar. On a rainy day, the police car stopped in the road, making Hein Eduard stop his car and talk to a walkie-talkie.
"Why did you stop, Alpha Two, over?"
They responded, "Alpha One suddenly stopped, sir, over."
"Then don't stand there, Alpha Two. Check on Alpha One, over."
"Copy that." The cops from the front car exited and went toward Alpha One to find out why they stopped.
Ten minutes later, the cops from Alpha Two weren't reporting back to Hein Eduard, so he walked out of the car and said in a walkie-talkie, "Alpha Two, why is it taking so long? Over." No single commutation came back, making him and others worried.
"Mr. Eduard, why aren't they saying anything? I'm getting worried?!"
"Mrs. Bell, I don't know why they aren't answering either. Did something happen to them?!"
Ross exits the car and says, "Eduard, this needs investigation. Let me check what's going on."
"More help is better for me when I wasn't planning to go alone when it could be dangerous."
"Wait! Don't go yet."
"Mike, what is it? Do you want to come with us?"
"No, no, no. I want to avoid following you. You should be careful. I'm not being scared. I am here to protect Bell."
"Hell, I need your protection from you!"
Eduard and James didn't want to hear the argument, so they left. The blue gentleman gave an umbrella to James when he saw Ross didn't have one.
They walked toward the car and saw a couple of officers, and Hein said, "Why did you guys not answer?!"
"Sir, you have to see this."
Eduard and Ross saw a figure with a plague doctor mask and costume while holding a lantern in the right hand. On the ground, where the person was standing, there were dead bodies, from police to civilians.
The front of Alpha One's car was badly damaged; it looked like it crashed into something, and the cops of that group were all dead.
"Who the hell are you?!" Hein and Ross said simultaneously, but there were no responses to them.
The cops were waiting to shoot if Plague Doctor moved or did something. In front of James and Eduard, a cop said, "Put your hands in the air!"
"We have the right to shoot if you don't as we say!"
The plague doctor refused to put his hands in the air, making the cops fire. The bullets passed through its body without impacting it. Then suddenly, the light from the lantern turned off, making it total darkness.
A cop panicked after the light turned off, firing it randomly. The only available light was when the gun was shooting. Other officers did the same.
For some reason, Ross's Model XI0 wasn't working, making him angry, and he hit his arm to make it work and said, "Work, work. Why are you not working?"
'You worked perfectly before this, but you don't want to work when I am in danger.'
An evil liquid came out of the plague doctor, going toward the cops from the smell of blood from their bodies. The cops screamed when it connected to their bodies. The figure disappeared after the liquid came out.
A few officers fired at liquid when they heard the screams of their fellow men, but it was failer when it touched them, making them into skeletons.
"James. What are you doing? Help us!"
Hein Eduard was annoyed by Ross hitting his arm and not helping. Ross noticed and stopped, then he took out a flashlight.
Seeing Hein wasn't there, he lit up the area, so he said, "Eduard? Where did you go?"
A crashing sound came near him, making Ross scared, "What was that." He flashes the ground, seeing a cop's skeleton. The light showed more skeletons on the ground.
"Shit! Not good!"
A flash revealed the plague doctor standing still, with many skeletons around them. Ross quickly grabbed his revolver and fired at the figure.
The bullets went through the doctor and vanished and reappeared next to James and whispered, "The Great Darkness is coming... the great darkness is coming, James Ross!" Whispered into his ear, tapping on Ross's forehead, then vanishing into thin air.

"Wake up, James. We arrived at our distension."
"Huh? What was that nightmare?" He saw a dream that he had forgotten.
Outside, after leaving the vehicle, they were near the skyscraper the hatchling mentioned, but not too close to not get discovered.
"The city of Coner Sea, the trading city of the Color Kingdom."
"Isn't that skyscraper the Blood Bar?" Ross asked.
"Yeah, that's the one he said it was."
"Here are the Broken Hearts, but before we go inside like this..."
Eduard opened up the trunk of his car. Inside a secret compartment were 12 golden rings glowing from the moons above. He took them out, giving them to James, Mike, Bell, and the 12 cops and leaving one to himself.
"...Here, take these."
They left only eight extra people who didn't have the rings and found eight pieces of Broken Heart.
"Question, is these disguise rings?"
"Of course, Mrs. Bell."
"Oh, have you met the king of the Color Kingdom to get these?"
He nodded to Bell, making Mike and Bell shocked that he had met the king. They said, "Wow, you met the king Romeo the Second."
"James, you are the same rank as me. You could have met the king by now."
Ross didn't answer, so Hein changed the topic, "Eight of you need to stay here to look out, and the rest of us should go in the den."
After going to the skyscraper's entrance, they put the rings on their fingers. When the rings were on, a flash from them came out, scanning people the whole building.
[Scanning the area]
Information about people's appearance and genetics inside the building transforms the rings wearers of the ring into different people in the skyscraper. It could change them into different skin colors, sexes, ages, postures, heights, etc. The only disadvantage of the rings is if the disguised individual meets the real person, it will be very awkward.
[Scanning complete]
[Disguses complete]
Ross turned into a pretty young woman with hair wrapped in a ponytail. She had a business uniform.
'Interesting, I turned into a woman.'
Bell was a middle-aged man with tattoos on her body; no, I meant his body. Mike was nine years old and wore a red shirt, saying, "I love Dinosaurs." A green dino saying.
Hein Eduard's skin color changed entirely, and his hair with braids was getting darker than before. The other eight cops turned into people inside.
"Get your pieces of Broken Heart ready, guys."
The people with rings went to the entrance; the rest stayed behind. A line of people was standing around, waiting to be let in by two massive security guards with tattoos.
"Do you have a ticket?"
"Ticket... ticket as you mean this?" Ross showed a piece of Broken Heart, letting Ross in; while waiting, he went to the men's bathroom, forgetting he was in a woman's body.
Others went inside the skyscraper—a man on a stage with a microphone said, "Welcome... welcome, guests, to our fabulous place, where you can eat, drink, and party for all for free."
"Where is James?" Mike asked.
"He probably went to the restroom," Eduard replied.
"I'm going to look for him."
Nobody was Inside the restroom, and when he looked in the mirror, he remembered he was a woman with that ring on.
'Shit! How am I this dumb?'
'At least no men is-?!' Ross spoke too soon. A man suddenly entered the restroom.
When the man saw Ross's woman's body, he said, "Hey, lovely lady. Do you want me to kiss you?!" Grabbing his arm forcefully.
'Why is my luck so shitty?' Ross pretends he is scared and weak to make the creep think he is strong, which works.
"Please, let me go?"
"No, bitch! If you don't kiss me, I won't release you."
Ross was getting annoyed and wanted to beat this guy to a pulp, but he needed to be calm and not do anything reckless to expose himself as the enemy.
James got an idea after calming down. He whispered into the man's ear and said, "Then I will kill you if you don't release me."
"If you want to play that game!"
The creep went on top of Ross's woman body, got topless, and said, "Take your fucking clothes off, or I will force you to do it!"
Ross giggled and quickly got the creep out of his way, and before he knew what had happened, Ross kicked the private part, making the man drop into the ground in pain.
He took out pepper spray from the purse Bell gave him after he put the ring on and sprayed it on his face and eyes, making the man unconscious.
He left the restroom, but two bald men were blocking his way with guns pointed at his head.
They said at the same time, "We will fire if we don't see your hands in the air! A-rank investigator."
They were the same people who collected the tickets from the entrance, pointing their guns at James Ross.
"Huh? Who's James Ross? What are you talking about?"
"Tsk, show him the tablet."
"See, if you don't follow us, your friends over here will get killed."
The tablet showed that Mike, Bell, and Hein were tied up without disguise rings.
'How did they find out about our disguises that fast?'
"Fine, fine. I will follow you."
Ross approached them to grab the gun, but it didn't work. The other guy slammed James' body into the ground before he could do anything.
"Brother, he was trying to grab your gun. Let's show him what happens if he miss with us."
The other brother said something to a walkie-talkie, showing a tablet to James. A cop who was also tied up in a chair with ropes, a bullet went flying toward his head.
"Don't kill him, brother. We need him with the rest of them."
They put handcuffs on James when he was smashed into the ground, taking out his ring and transforming him back to his original body, the 37-year-old male.
They slowly grabbed Ross from the floor and pushed him to their destination. He couldn't use his Flow energy or escape from them when the brother on his back was pointing a gun at his head.
They reached a secret place in the skyscraper's basement that few know about. When they entered, everyone got caught.
"This is the last one of the intruders, Sir"
A Russian woman inside the room was sitting on a barrel, and a floor block opened, raising a glass table and a chair; on it was a man with a red fedora and suit with whine glass in his hand.
"Good job. Ariadna bringing me the intruders."
"Now I want to know why it brings the police and rankers to my bar?"
"Blood Dragon Alucard, we are here to arrest you for being an associate of a criminal organization, The Seven Dragons of the Sea."
To be continued.
