Silent Creek Part 2

Two days has passed since that incident, during the time Sakura and Stephani had been using the time to scout throughout the entire prison. While staying vigilant should a cannibal come close to the vicinity they would have to halt their investigations, luckily none of that happened so they managed to scout out the entire block, and they managed to find Alicia's son Daniel.

The original plan was to cause a massive commotion that John could use to forcibly investigate the prison, that way the kidnapped children would be rescued and Nightrise would be forced to give answers. That is if their involvement in this could be proven, thus Sakura and Stephani just made sure that Daniel was fine before waiting for Angelica who would contact them when things were ready.

The next morning, Sakura who woke up found the African boy still holding his crotched. When he noticed her, he immediately began to shiver in fear like a scared little cat. a Sinister smile form on Sakura's lips as she walks over to the boy, "W-What do you want? I know I was in the wrong and I swear I will never do it again!"

The boy knew his intentions from before was wide open to the girl so he could not deny that, instead he chose to apologize and promise that he would not do it again. And he regretted it, he really did. He lost his little brother in a moment's notice with a single kick of this barbarian woman, he never expected for her to be so powerful.

"I want you to answer some questions," Sakura said with a smile that appeared to look much more demonic to the boy,

"Y-yes!" The boy nodded like a chicken pecking seeds, his eyes focused on her as he was afraid she might kick his head next time and kill him instead.

"Do you know of someone called Scott Tyler?" Sakura asked,

"H-huh? Uhm... N-No, I haven't heard of anyone with such a name. I know many people and there is definitely not a boy with such a name in this prison" The boy answered after thinking for a moment, he was wondering what she would ask but never thought she would ask a name he never heard of before.

'So it appears what I expected would be true, no one should have met Scott. Which means this is the normal side of the prison' Sakura thought finally figuring out that they were not within the Cannibal section,

'We are in place, you may begin' Angelica sent an abrupt message to Sakura through telepathy,

'Roger' Sakura was about to knock the boy unconscious when she heard another telepathy message,

'Be careful' Masaru sent his telepathy message causing Sakura to involuntarily blush before she slapped the African boy unconscious.

"It's time" Sakura muttered, the other people did not know what it meant but Stephani did as she slapped the inmate in her room unconscious before the two of them used magic to bend the bars of their cells wide enough for them to walk right out before bending it back in place.

"Let's go" Sakura muttered before leading Stephani running along with the corridor, leaving the sight of everyone. It did not take long for those who worked within the sector where Sakura and Stephani were sent to, to have forgotten about them.

Moving towards the Eastern block, using magic to alter the memories of the guards. Sakura and Stephani arrived near the prison cell where Jamie was supposed to be at, "Where could he have gone?"

"Could it be he used his powers to start without us?" Stephani answered with a question based on how the two of them understood Jamie, he would not sit idly by when his brother was nearby.

"Let's question the guard responsible for this wing then" Sakura muttered feeling anxious, if they failed this mission then they will have to search for different clues as she believed the cannibals would abandon this prison without hesitations if they are discovered

It did not take long for them to meet the guard, his name was Koring. He loved to abuse inmates for his amusement, even strip search them for no particular reason all for his amusement. Yet he was immediately dragged to the corner by two inmates before he could scream he was suppressed by Sakura's killing intent.

"You best behave unless you want your head flying" Sakura muttered with her hand gripped around his neck, squeezing it just tight enough to make Koring take her threat seriously, he immediately nodded his head.

"Where is Jamie?" She asked,

"In the CRR" Koring answered,

"Corrective Room Restriction" Stephani muttered, the two of them nodded at each other before removing Koring's memories of this event leaving him behind while the two of them headed towards the centre wing, where the dangerous teenagers were being held including the location of the "Black Box" where prisoners were sent as punishment.

>\/<

"Are you certain that it will work?" John's voice could be heard through Angelica's cellphone speaker, Angelica had contacted him right at the moment she gave Sakura the go-ahead.

"Yes, we will give you a reason to launch a full investigation on Silent Creek. So it will be best you send some subordinates nearby so you can act faster" Angelica said,

"What will you do?" John asked warily,

"Nothing dangerous to anyone, but this prison's reputation might be badly affected in the future" She muttered before closing the phone call.

"They are there indeed" Masaru muttered, he used his divine dragon aura to stealthily search the second block of the prison. He would have naturally moved if he was alone, but this was his fiancees' operation and he was only here for support.

"As I thought..." Angelica muttered clenching her fist tightly, the rage and instinct to rush over became to swirl within her heart tempting her to make a move. Masaru noticed this and gently patted her head, causing the always serious elf to blush making her dark skin to become slightly darker around her cheeks.

"Stay calm, with me here they will not escape," Masaru said,

>\/<

"Wake up Jamie!" Stephani slapped Jamie who was sleeping awake, she felt sympathetic for the boy who was locked in a room with no light, no view outside. Literally, a black box.

"uh... I can see? Stephani?" Jamie asked looking confused for a moment before his face became serious, "My brother should be in the other wing"

"We know, that is why we are making our move," Sakura said before heading out the black box, Stephani sent several healing spheres into Jamie's body healing any ailments or injuries he might have gained during these two days before he and Stephani rushed after Sakura.

Using the stairs to head to the underground passage according to the guards they had swept past, asking them before removing the memories. The three of them sprinted towards the second section of the prison, fast yet as silent as possible. But it did not make them invisible, as they were discovered by a cannibal human guard.

"Halt!" The cannibal cried out, he did not take out a pistol but instead a human bone. Blood coloured magic circle materialized in front of the bone about to cast a spell,

"Hmph!" Sakura snorted since they were discovered things will escalate even if they did not use magic. Thus she enhanced her body with magic, using traceless steps to visually disappear from the cannibal's sight. Thrusting her hand towards her side while her hand entered something invisible to the eye, almost as if her hand was eaten.

With a fluid movement, she pulled her katana from her storage space swinging it horizontally. The cannibal could not react on time, his eyes bulged out as his sight shifted from Sakura then the ceilings till he kept rolling where he finally saw Jamie and Stephani behind Sakura. Blood spurted out of his neck wound while the body collapsed on the ground.

Jamie did not feel repulsed at this sight since he already experienced it, yet he still felt uncomfortable. "Let's keep moving" Sakura muttered running along the corridor till they reached the stairs.

At the first step, the lights suddenly went out followed by a flashing red light and an alarm that was blaring loudly like a rumbling of a beast. "Red Alert! Red Alert! Prisoners have escaped! Please proceed to the central wing to apprehend them!"

"So close" Stephani muttered, she sighed but a smile appeared on her face which was quite contradictory. She never liked acting like a spy, she preferred to head straight into the enemy base and destroy it.

"Save the talks" Sakura muttered, her feet did not stop moving till they reached a familiar security office. It was exactly the same as the other sector, surrounded by monitors showing the sights of each and every camera and several swivel chairs that were empty. To their right was a metal sliding door with no window, yet they could hear footsteps approaching them.

"Stephani, take Jamie and search for Scott" Sakura muttered, "I will hold them off and try to keep their attention of me"

"Alright but stay safe, otherwise Masaru would be angry," Stephani said with a smile, she trusted Sakura and her abilities. Hench, she could run along with Jamie heading through the door on the left side facing the door that Sakura intend to enter.

What welcomed them was the corridor with heavy metal doors on both sides, with small sliding slots where the guards would normally push the inmate's food into. Bolted tightly, with no way of looking into the corridor from within. But the noise of footsteps sounding different from usual the inmates began to clamour.

"Hey let me out!"

"I will pay you, so let me out!"

Each of them promised alluring rewards to be set free, yet they were angered when they heard the footsteps not stopping and instead of passing by their doors causing them to scream in rage and anger, even the sounds of the metal doors being hit or kicked reverberated throughout the corridor.

"You have to prepare yourself Jamie" Stephani muttered after launching a wide area scan, so far she had not sensed Scott's existence within this sector, which meant they might have already moved him. Thus the two of them began to apprehend guards, questioning them one at a time.

>\/<

"Guah!" One of the guards Sakura pierced her katana's edge through his chest, coughed out blood before he shook when she pulled out her blade allowing him to collapse on the blood-soaked floor, the corridor leading to the central hub that connected the north, east, west and south wings to the centre.

SWOOSH!

Sakura rolled on the ground towards her left, she could not see what moved past her so swiftly but it was coloured in crimson which was similar to the magic the guards that attacked her used.

BOOM!

The corridor shook under the impact of the spell that was meant for Sakura, leaving behind smoke that rose up from the small molten rocks where the spell had impacted. "Never expected that you would dodge that one"

Sakura turned her gaze towards the voice who spoke to her, only to see a muscular man wearing the same guard uniform as the other dead guards approaching. One would mistake him for a bodybuilder due to the mass of muscles he had, his eyes were sharp and his eyebrows were trimmed to make it look like he was always frowning, and arms riddled with scars showing his experience in combat was not few.

"So you must be one of the girls who breached this sector together with Jamie Tyler huh?" The man muttered not caring about the fact Sakura dodged that attack, he felt the power he was given by the Apostle and blessings of the old ones. He could easily kill her whenever he felt like it.

"Where is Scott Tyler?" Sakura asked, her eyes focused on the man while her hands held her katana firmly, yet loose enough for the technique she intended to use.

"Oh, that boy? Mrs Mortlake had already taken him away... To kill a presidential candidate" The man muttered,

"But you have no time to be worried about that" The man muttered as his muscles began to wriggle as if hundreds of worms emerged from under his skin, slowly his body began to transform.

Despite his human skin still remaining, his entire body began to deform into something completely different. One of his arms were abnormally large, while the other arms shrunk to the size of an average male arm that never had training. His legs shortened while another pair sprouted right behind it, a massive scorpion tail sprouted at his lower back and his eyes in its entirety became black abyss orbs.

"I ate the starlight Scorpion from Northern Africa, it was quite powerful" The man muttered with a creaking voice, making it a creaking noise after each word he uttered. "And it gave me the ability to transform myself into a scorpion, although it was a failure this form is still much stronger than your average Ultimate Ranked super beings"

"Are you a high ranked Cannibal member?" Sakura asked,

"No, I'm simply cannon fodder. All of us are" The man muttered with a creepy smile, without saying anything else he swings his abnormal large arm like a hammer towards Sakura.

BOOM!

With a slight twist, while spinning her body horizontal, Sakura managed to dodge the incoming attack. The floor sunk under the pressure of the fist's strike, spider cracks within the ground spread from the crater with rocks and dust rising into the air.

"!? AAAAAAHHHHH!!!" The man shrieked in pain as he forcibly yanked his arm back when he look at the location where the intense pulse of pain was felt. He saw a large gash in his arm where Sakura slashed while her body spins itself out of the attack's range.

"You bitch" The man roared with his mouth expanding as if he was going to chomp her down, but suddenly dark violet liquid was spurted out like a hosepipe blowing water towards her.

"You should learn some manner, Promotion, Knight" Sakura muttered, her movements became illusionary almost like each step made her appear in different locations, the closer she got the more illusion clones she made with her high-speed movement.

"DIE! DIE! DIE!" The man roared as he kept spitting out more and more corrosive poison at Sakura who kept dodging each and every one of them, it was till she managed to reach him that she suddenly explosively increased her speed making her appear as if she flickered right past him.

PFFT!!!

Blood splurted out from each line where Sakura struck her katana across the man's body, before it began to collapse on the ground in the form of blocks. Sakura did not even look at the process of the man's body falling apart, "In your next life, be a good boy"

>\/<

"Wait!!!!" Mr Feather cried out causing both Jamie and Stephani to halt their movement glancing at him warily.

"Mr Feather!" Jamie cried out,

"I finally found you two, where is the other girl?" Mr Feather asked, just from his question Stephani felt that this man came here to save them.

"She is holding off the guards" Stephani answered,

"You should leave," Mr Feather said with a solemn expression, "Scott Tyler is the one you're looking for right?"

"You know my brother!? Where is he!?" Jamie cried out in surprise, he did not bother hiding his anxiousness and all he wanted was to find his brother.

"He was taken by Mrs Mortlake two days ago, she wants him to listen to the speeches of all the presidential candidates," Mr Feather said, while in truth he managed to hear this by luck while she was torturing Scott Tyler trying to break his mental barriers before she would brainwash him into one of her toys.

"What!?" Jamie cried out feeling frustrated, they finally found a lead and once again they missed him. 'Wait....'

"To think what Everest said would turn out to be true, we best finish up our mission here" Stephani muttered, yet a strange creepy voice spoke from behind them.

"Yes, we indeed plan to kill John Trelawny, but you will die here tonight without being able to do anything" a middle-aged woman with a skinny body, wrinkled bony feature face, her lips appeared to be missing allowing her teeth to be exposed with bloodstains lurking at the corners of her mouth.

Wearing an oversized black magician robe, her long bony fingers caressing a scythe twice her size dripping blood at the edge of the blade. Her eyes widen as her face muscles move as if she was trying to smile, yet without her lips, it looks actually terrifying along with her features. "I look forward to experiencing what kind of power I would gain eating you little girl, as for you boy. You have to live, for the sake of the old ones"

>\/<

"They have been discovered," Masaru said,

"I will move then," Angelica said, without waiting she immediately sank into the darkness, becoming one with the darkness as she heads straight towards the prison.

Meanwhile, Masaru glanced at a peculiar direction. "I doubt that man is the apostle" he muttered, it was not a guess but a fact. "He's too weak to be one"

'I will make a move when the strongest does' Masaru thought as he kept his attention across the prison, making sure he was ready to move instantly if any of his girls were in danger.
