Chapter 4 - Chapter 3 - The Stabs of the Truth

Black Star Condominium…

 Mansion A, dining room…

- Grey (sitting, finishes eating) - I'm done, Mr. A...

- Mr. A (folds the newspaper, drinks a glass of water) - Now we can start…

After the attack, Arthur, in a coma in his rooms, covered in bandages, miraculously began to regenerate and regain consciousness. Alfred, the nanotechnology, introduced himself and showed his capabilities, leaving Arthur surprised, and with the nanorobots he took a leap forward in his cultivation. The near-death experience softened his heart and he forgave his mother, and his friend, Hera, but he maintained his desire for revenge against the person who killed his grandmother, who he still didn't know who it was.

 Now 15 years old, being a Master, with the help of Alfred, he discovered that prices had been placed on the heads of his friends, and a reward for the capture of princess Hera, it was soon deduced that Zeus is not responsible, he did not consider them as threats and thinks that Arthur is dead, but as a precaution the queen believed it would be better for him to stay on the island, but Arthur rejected, and preferred to go to the academy when the academic year opened.

The supreme championship was canceled due to attacks, corruption, and destruction on the island caused by the invasions. Mercenaries, assassins and bounty hunters on the trail, the dangerous program beginning, the pain of losing his grandmother, the year was ready to begin...

 Returning to school, in his second year at the academy, Alfred revealed that the plan of Emperor king Pendragon's former palace was a map, made by him. At the Academy, the VG1 program began. The matter was serious, more than two thousand students disappeared from the academy, and 40 million men in the world in the last five years.

 The program had a fund of two billion gold coins, or two ruby coins. The captain of the program was Dylan Jing, a 17 years old divergent, an Experienced Master and a senior at the academy, member of the military department, and the chief commander, Arthur Henry. All this without ignoring the fact that Arthur's friends were in constant fights for survival, but on one of the missions the captain ended up being kidnapped before the time when disappearances normally happen, which left Arthur very worried. 

 The director closed the VG1 program, the program had already achieved its objective, they already knew that some women were part of the group that killed and kidnapped people, so the MSU program, Special Missions started, not only for the academy, but for the entire city of Singapore, and Arthur was placed as captain. The entire program was in his hands, Maya was the new commander in chief, responsible for the people in the field, the martial arts teacher, Nagasaki, was the director of operations, Hera, the deputy director, Selena, the head of the laboratory…

 They set up an underground base on the city beach, and above it a tavern and an inn on the first floor, to attract people. Arthur, without wasting time, collected some benefits for risking his life, increased grades for everyone who was going to participate, balls of Qi, pills, special weapons and armory. 

 

- Mr. A (sigh) - Arthur had more questions, what does Zeus' family have with the Amazons? Why is the director so interested in making me find out about this?

- Grey (thoughtfully) - How was the island during that period?

- Mr. A (smile) - Queen Andromeda, sitting on the throne that belonged to her mother, remembering…

 When her mother was alive, worried, she expressed that the world needed the king's force, the five continents were in chaos, the world was in chaos. The Amazons enslaved, assassins chasing people at will, king Yer killing for no reason, Zeus with the world at his feet, there was no leader, no protector, no lighthouse, no one who fought for good...

 Days later, Arthur, Nagasaki and Selena went to investigate a suspicious ship, and sneakily ended up finding and rescuing Dylan, and taking a suspect for interrogation. They realized that around men she, the suspect, was calm and seductive, but around women she was extremely aggressive, and they discovered that Dylan was being held prisoner, was obligated to maintain sexual relations several times, and that it were amazons who captured men and killed women, and the more he discovered, the angrier and indignant he turned.

 Returning to the underground base, they found the tavern destroyed, and it was said that there was a brutal fight with an extremely aggressive woman. Tristan, knowing everything that happened to Dylan, wanted to avenge his dignity and honor, he wanted to kill every single one of those women, but Arthur stopped him. And later, they captured more involved.

In the same week, Alexia woke up with her body falling apart, and went into a coma, taking everyone by surprise, including her mother, as if she were melting from the inside out, Alfred explained that there was a conflict inside her, two different realities, two bloods, and one was too powerful, and was consuming the other.

 Arthur revealed to Selena and Tristan that the captured women were amazons, Alexia, the director and he himself, were amazons, and he wanted to uncover this whole story. The director revealed that the blood that was doing this to her daughter was pure Qi, pure energy, it was so strong that it couldn't share its space with another, and that someone already had said that she could die because of this. 

Alexia was not human, humans do not consider beings with characteristics different from theirs to be part of the species, such as Hera, who had blue eyes, pale skin, pointed ears, white hair, for example. Because of the genetic changes she was forced to go through, even though she had human blood, she was not seen as…

 Afterwards, Dylan had to return to the academy to be properly treated, he suffered several traumas and injuries due to the torture. And Alexia in coma, managed to access the king's force, and talk to the former users, and learn about her species, her father's species, why she was there and the history of the world after the great changes.

 Meanwhile, on the island, the absence of the amazons that the program was capturing was already noticed, the reproduction period was approaching, Zeus got upset and demanded more loads of Qi balls and pills. And on the program, the doctors noticed the transformation of the girl's body, Alexia. Her hair went away, her body without water, with her bones standing out, and in the same period Arthur evolved into a professional Master, showing his composure and focus amidst the chaos.

 The program began, the overload of customers in the tavern was draining energy, and Apolita revealed that she was the one who put Arthur's friends' heads for sale, and Brunhilde really liked that. Arthur and the group were capturing more and more amazons, and studied them, at the same time that Alexia defied the laws of life.

 

 3 months later, one night, Brunhilde appeared and with a lot of struggles they managed to capture her and her companions. They took her for interrogation.

 The following week, the interrogation began, Brunhilde chained up mocking Arthur, and he, as a precaution, locked the door to the room and took a katana with him. In the middle of the provocations, she ended up mentioning his late grandmother's name, and this awakened a chilling fury in him, and his bloodlust filled the room. Arthur felt tempted to kill her, but maintained is posture, and Brunhilde hid her fear with a smile, laughing...

- Brunhilde (chained, clothes torn, laughing) - Didn't I say so? You are an animal, and I know a little secret of yours...

- Arthur (sitting, staring at Brunhilde) - Why do you kidnap men and kill women?

- Brunhilde (laughing) "I know how to provoke you, just talk about the dead grandma and that's it." - Calm down handsome, don't you want to know the secret? (laughing, sees Arthur's lack of interest) - I know who you killed... Do you know who? Prince Apollo, and you almost killed your little girlfriend, what's her name again? Is it Hela, or Hera?

In the observation room…

- Everyone except Hera and Tristan (mouths open) - What?!?

- Commander Maya (mouth open, looking at the two) - A son of the god king? He killed a god?! Who is this captain again?!

- One of the agents (sitting, trying to process everything) - He killed one of the sons of the god king? And he is still alive? It's not possible, he must be very strong then...

- Princess Hera (staring at Arthur) - Stop talking! I want to listen…

- Qin-Shi (sighs) - Sometimes I forget that you're also daughter of the god king, princess. We apologize for bringing this up...

In the interrogation room…

- Arthur (sighs) - Brunhilde, I really didn't want to do this, but you don't leave me with any choice... How old is your daughter?

- Brunhilde (gets up angrily, tries to get close to him, but the chains hold her back) - Stay away from her!

- Arthur (gives a joyful smile) "Wow, that was quick…" - I believe she's 2 or 3 years old, she must be very cute, you better stay calm, counselor, otherwise I'll have her killed! Don't forget that I'm your prince.

- Brunhilde (panting, full of veins on her face) - If you touch her, I swear you won't have a queen, or title that will protect you from me!

- Arthur (smiling) - Now that's better, I'll ask you again, why do you kidnap and kill?

- Brunhilde (being held by the chains) - For us to reproduce, you stupid brat, what else would it be for?

- Arthur (looking at Brunhilde) - Is it necessary to kill women for this? And why don't amazons give the men back after all this?

- Brunhilde (laughing, looks at the mirrored glass) - Your naivety hurts, how do you think the island works? Where do Qi balls come from? Why is the Greek empire so rich? We are the ones who do all this of course, do you think it falls from heaven?

- Arthur (annoyed, gets up) - You didn't answer the question…!

- Brunhilde (laughing) - Really? And what're you going to do to me? Kill me? (spits near Arthur)

- Arthur (smiles, punches her face, grabs her hair) - Answer the question!...

In the observation room…

- Commander Maya (enraged, slams her hand on the table) - He's crossing the line!

- Tristan (looks at Maya, smiles) - Do you want to tell him that? You're free, go on...

- Princess Hera (worried, crosses her arms) "If Arthur finds out about the poisoning, it's the end!"

- Qin-Shi, Alander and Selena (watching carefully)

In the interrogation room…

- Brunhilde (spits blood in Arthur's face) - That one really hurt, you think you can kill me, or make me talk, don't you? (laughing)

- Arthur (with blood on his face, grabbing Brunhilde's hair) - Think of your daughter, think of her!

- Brunhilde (annoyed, looks at Arthur) - Agh! We use men to reproduce, and then we extract their cores, this process kills them, and from women we only want their core…

- Arthur (enraged) "WHAT?!?!": - You do this every year! Millions of people around the world die, you have no scruples! (punches her face nonstop)

In the observation room…

- The girls (fall in tears) - This isn't happening…

- One of the agents (crying) - My brother, t-they killed him... (quivering)

- Alander (sighs, sits down and lowers his head) - Last year, they killed more than five million people worldwide, just because of cores and reproduction?

- Selena (trembling, covers her face full of tears) - My parents disappeared, perhaps they…

- Alander (rushes to hug Selena) - Calm down Selena...

- Princess Hera (wipes her tears, maintains her posture) - Come on guys! We can't let ourselves down now, that's what she wants, for her this is just a game...

In the interrogation room…

- Brunhilde (bleeding, receives other punches in the face, laughs vividly) - Are you angry, little Arthur? Do you know what we do when a useless boy like you is born instead of girls? We extract the core and then throw them into the sea, the balls of Qi that you use to evolve, come from there... (laughing) - They come from you useless dogs... (laughing)

- Arthur (punches her again) - You don't deserve forgiveness!

In the observation room…

- Princess Hera (looking at the two, sits down) "I didn't know about the babies…"

In the interrogation room…

- Brunhilde (laughing) - Really? So, didn't your mother and all of the queens who came before her agree with all of this? You can kill me, my prince, but the amazons will never stop, they are too fearful for that...

- Arthur (with his eyes shining, he holds himself back from hitting her, clenches his fists) - ...

 After that, Arthur withdrew and left everyone surprised with the fact that he managed to leave her alive…

- Grey (looking fixedly to Mr. A) - Ahh Mister A, continue telling how you were...

- Mr. A (smiles) - Okay, but just for now…

Arthur entered the room again the next day…

- Arthur (sits on a chair, sighs) - I think we rested enough, did you sleep well?

- Brunhilde (her veins showing her clear annoyance, full of pain in her face, wheezing) - Go to hell, you bastard!

- Arthur (sigh) - I will, but before that. I want to know one more thing…

- Brunhilde (coughing blood, smiles) - Really? Of course you want to…

- Arthur (looks at Brunhilde) - Who killed my grandmother, queen Cassandra?

The atmosphere became tense…

- The housekeeper (approaches) - Excuse me, gentlemen, but Mrs. Yuna is at the door calling Grey...

- Grey (disappointed, looks at Mr. A) - What?! No, no! Don't do this to me Mister A, it was so good... (sighs)

- Mr. A (laughing, runs his hand through his hair) - Tomorrow we'll continue. Obey your mother, now off you go...

- Grey (annoyed, sighs) - Goodbye Mr. A… (walks towards the exit)
