Becky, in uniform, and Serena had arrived at the crime scene where multiple police officers surrounded the area, securing it.
Becky's nose caught the scent of blood. "Ew!" Covering her nose, nearly gagging. "I can smell the corpses out here!"
Serena then caught the scent. "I can smell them now too."
Becky's ears twitched then looked at the distance.
A Magical Girl in Sherlock Holms inspired theme walked up to them.
Serena walked up to her. "Hello there!"
"Greetings." She nods. "Let me introduce myself; the name's Shirley Connors. But I go by Detective."
Black long trench coat with blue strips. Deerstalker hat with the ear mats are blue to an overall black hat. Blue dress shirt with black vest. Black pants and shoes.
She offers a hand towards Becky.
Serena looked back as Detective looking annoyed at her. "Ms. Wolfe!"
Becky looked away. "Sorry! Detective! Name's Rebecca Wolfe. Vigilante: Red Riding Wolfe" Becky shakes her hands while not too sure of her Vigilante name.
"Charming first impression." Detective rolled her eyes.
"Um, thank you?" Becky is confused.
"Don't take it as a compliment." Detective walked into the house. "Since you're a Riding Hood inspired theme, I could use your nose though." Detective enters the crime scene where both Becky and Serena nearly gag when they see the dismembered bodies. "First time seeing dead bodies?" She asked.
Becky is about to answer but...
"Don't answer that. Clearly you haven't." Detective said with an arrogant tone. "But I want to hear a second opinion."
Becky walked up to see the bodies, as Serena ran out to puke out at a nearby bushes.
Becky covered her nose as she looked at the bodies. Allergy medication.
"Let's see..." Observing the bodies. "Homicide. Um... three bodies, so meaning three people lived here. And..." Becky noticed the litter box, a new box. "A cat."
Detective nods. "Not bad. Outside of the litter box, you managed to miss almost every detail." Talked down to Becky. She placed a pin on her hoodie. "Please wear this. That way I can keep an eye out on you."
"Alright?" Becky said.
They looked around, then walked up to the stairs with Serena.
"So is this the work of the Salem Witch?" Becky asked.
"No. This a family that loves to kill each other on Sundays." Detective replied which caused both Becky and Serena to look around out of fear from her deranged sense of humor. "Of course it's a Salem Witch. There's a huge magic spike that has hit here."
They're looking around till they enter a small washroom that's completely covered in blood with blood all dried up and hardened in the bathtub.
"Have you heard of the Salem Witch called; Mariel Crimson?" She asked them.
Becky recognized the name. "I think I saw her name from the Most Wanted List."
"Correct." Detective slightly approved it.
Serena pulled out the information. "Wanted for multiple killings of young women. Taking over their bodies?"
"That's pretty correct. But for her, her name goes under an urban legend; Bloody Mary." Detective said.
"Bloody Mary?" Becky repeats.
"Don't say the name for the third time. Just call her Crimson." Detective suggested.
Serena looks over Crimson's report. "She's the most dangerous..."
Detective rolled her eyes. "They're all dangerous. Every Witch is dangerous. Using Magic like they're deranged Magical Girl gone rogue. Crimson teleport by using the urban legend tale. She takes over their bodies, and leaves a huge mess. Causing us Blue Magical Girls a huge headache in the end." She sat down. "I hate these kind of Witches, trying to outsmart us Blues."
"Do all Blue Magical Girls always have these kinds of cases?" Becky asked.
"Us Blues tend to work in the field of intelligence." Detective said as she used her Magnify Glass to analyse the magical usage.
"Aren't there other Magical Vigilantes out here for work?" Becky asked.
Serena nods. "Yes. I was told as many we can find, since this qualifies as a Witch Hunt."
"Oh." Detective didn't seem to be bothered. "Only those who have you are Magical Scouts, or Guides. So guess you're the only ones here in this shit hole of a state must had just got a Scout." Detective talked down on Kansas.
"But I got reports that there's others." Serena walked up to Detective.
"And yet, they didn't get Guides as you. So they're just there, causing problems for us."
Becky looked around. "So what does this Witch look like?" She asked.
"Come with me."
They walked to the master's bedroom to see a bloody bed with a lantern head which caused Serena to squirm for a bit.
"That's what she used to look like. Now..." Detective sat down at the chair then pointed at the family picture. "We need to look for that one there." She points at the middle child of a family of five. Age 14. She picked up the family reports. "Melissa Anderson." Long straight blonde hair. 5'1". "We need to find her unless Crimson has another poor brat dead and takes over that body." Detective said to them. "Hence why I need you here. Wolfe." Detective looks at them. "I'm planning on using these." Pulled out a few SD cards.
Becky is hesitant. "Is this the classic villain turnaround? If I put these into a computer, would I cause more destruction?"
Detective smiled then a nod. "Interesting theory, but honestly can't blame you. It's a classic scenario, but I'm not planning on doing any such thing. I'm too busy to do stuff like that, I'm just here to solve cases, and head back to New York." Light up a pipe.
Becky took the SD cards. "Alright then."
"Anyways, Magical Girls can't be controlled by a Witch anyways. But points for actual observation." They walked down then out of the house.
"So where would we put these in?" Serena asked.
"First off is at public places, so pretty much anywhere." Detective pulls out a pocket watch then slides in an SD card that creates an energy field that trap any form of teleportation.
A large energy field was activated. "Let's give it a test drive." She stood right in the middle of an empty field.
Becky's ears twitch. "Look out!" Becky pulls Detective from a shot. She doesn't seem to mind at all as she lid up a pipe. "Aren't you afraid?!" Becky asked as Serena was hiding behind Becky.
"Not really. Actually, I expected this." Puff up a smoke.
Both Becky and Serena looked at her. "You did?" Both of them asked.
"Litter box. The family aren't allowed a cat due of the mother must had been allergic to it. The medication is for cats. Hence, the Witch's Familiar must be nearby." Detective is looking back. "Should be somewhere in the tree line." She grabs her magnifying glass that pinpoints the actual location. "The Familiar is in the trees."
"In the trees, got it!" Becky got up and started running up towards the Familiar. Detective tossed her pocket watch into the pocket of the hoodie.
Becky runs up to the trees.
"You didn't need our help?" Serena questioned Detective.
"Never did. Just need to test drive these. Plus, don't feel like doing some arm work." She waved her pocket watch. "Now let's see what she made out of it." She pulls out a magnifying glass then sizes it up like a TV screen.
§
Becky leaps into the tree. From the trees, a cat suits a woman, resembling Anderson's mother but with shorter hair.
She leaps out of the trees. She tries to teleport, but nothing happens. Looking confused.
"Time to kick your ass!" Becky leaps down and throws a fist.
Anderson moves out of the way, as Becky is throwing punches.
Shoulder tackle, but Becky tossed her at the tree then punches. Anderson moved out of the way. Becky left a punch mark.
Anderson with multiple knee lifts onto the midsection.
Becky holds the leg then lifts her up. Running slam down onto the boulder. Anderson kicks her back then tries to run away.
Becky leaps up. "Full Moon Slash!" Becky slash down. Leaving a scar mark down on the ground while knocking down the Familiar, but not long enough.
Anderson cast a small red orb to knock Becky back onto a tree.
Anderson transforms into a cougar, making a run. Becky chases her down into the forest. Leaping through the tree branches as Anderson roars out.
Becky's ears start twitching. Multiple foxes and coyotes came out as back up.
Knocking a couple down, and grabbing one of them to toss it onto Anderson, nearly knocking her down.
Her claws glowed as she's coming closer to Anderson. She transformed into her human form then rolled under Becky. Multiple pistol shots, Becky dodging then hiding behind a tree. She quickly moved around and tried to get around Anderson.
"Full Moon Slash!"
Becky cuts the tree then runs down on the tree to tackle Anderson down. Beating down Anderson till she knocked her out.
Looking down and realising that she had beaten a Familiar. "YES!!!" She celebrates.
§
Detective looked over with Serena.
"I'm on my way to becoming a Pink Magical Girl!" Becky happily spoke out loud through the magnifying glass.
"Hmm, she doesn't have what it takes to be Pink." Blueprint comment. "But she has more potential as a Green."
Serena signs but agrees with it. "She refuses to listen to my suggestion."
"Clearly." Detective pulls out a sheet of paper. Then start writing. "She's clearly twelve pounds overweight. One bust size is too big. Seemed to have a violent nature. But I do recommend her for Green." Handed over the sheet of paper towards Serena.
"She was planning on getting breast reduction surgery."
"It'll be another one of those botched surgeries. She isn't the first, nor the last when that happens." Detective said as she continued to smoke.
Multiple police then animal control had surrounded Anderson and Becky, congratulating her.
§
From another location in Oztown, Mariel is sitting in a hotel room. Modifying her hair colour from blonde to black. Changing her eye colours to green. Looking over to see her Familiar had been captured.
"Sorry, old friend." She spoke with a low tone but soft voice.
She twirls her fingers around her throat. Changing her tone from the low soft voice to a high pitch gal voice.
"See ya, Adler!" She gives out a double peace sign in front of the mirror.
She pressed the picture of Adler, causing it to die from choking on her blood, that's been building right up to the throat, flooding the lungs with blood.
She cackled but her true old hag voice came out when she was snickering at the death of her Familiar.
Door knocked on the door. She walked up to the door with her neck stitches that's slowly healing up.
Opening it up. "Welcome to the apartment complex" Peter welcomes her.
Looking at him, smiling in a seductive way.
"Thank you, handsome." She offers his hand.
"Name's Peter Wolfe." Introduced himself.
Continue to smile.
"Mary Crimson."
