Lucie's Mission

Lady's order was carried out three days later. Bunny and Lucie split up to infiltrate Alice Nebula. Each of them has their own list of names. Nobody knows the secret ambushed which they carried out from midnight to the earliest hour in the morning. It seems that these past 5 years of peace really made Alice Nebula forget about their nemesis.

One merciless stab ends the life a minister in his house in Alice Nebula. Near the dead body, lay the bodies of his wife and two very small children.

Lucie took out a piece of paper and crossed out Hillsnow's name on it. There are two targets remained. "Goukana and Kane..." He read the last two names.

Goukana is a family name of an elite general of Alice Nebula. Lucie and Bunny especially split up too hunt Ginji Goukana which is the head of the family who was busy with the riots that Bunny caused. While, Lucie's job is to kill his entire family members.

Ginji Goukana's house was not as luxury as his position in Nebula Tower. They live in the employee-only household that consists of his wife and a 7-year-old kid.

Unlike before, this time Lucie chose to ring the doorbell in politeness and Sasha Muller—Ginji Goukana's wife—immediately opened the door. The bespectacled woman's expression suddenly turned suspicious when she saw the plain white masked guest.

Without saying anything Lucie forced his way in by pushing Sasha. He closed the door behind close and locked it. In the mean time, Lucie let Sasha dash inside the house and reach for the phone. The woman quickly dialed a number, but still losing to Lucie's chain-like weapon speed.

The unusual weapon that can flexibly lengthen and shorten with a sharp pointed tip in the form of a golden yellow triangle pierces through the body of the phone. The communication device broke down in a matter of seconds.

Sasha didn't giving up. She slowly backed away while trying to find the gun that was hidden somewhere in the cupboard. On the other side, Lucie's chain-like weapon began to move away from the phone and coiled around its wielder. The pointed tip raised and aimed at Sasha and increased to the impression of intimidation. The chain looked like it was alive!

"Do not come close." Sasha held up the gun which she had managed to find. Her thumb had already pulled the trigger.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why is it so noisy?" A 7-year old girl walks out of her room with sleepy eyes. She is the only daughter of Ginji Goukana.

Seeing her kid out of the room, Sasha Muller hastily hugged her daughter's small body and with the gun still pointed to Lucie.

Lucie had no intention to intercept. He let Sasha moved as she pleased and he observed in silence. "If you tell me where Kane is, I can spare your daughter life." Lucie made an offer.

"Julius Aditya Kane? Don't be silly! You failed to find him, right? That's why you came to me and make an stupid offer!" Sasha was not a fool.

Lucie sat comfortably on the back of the sofa in the living room. Simultaneously, the chain-like weapon swerved nimbly to snatch the gun out from Sasha's hand. The bullets fell clatter as the chain destroyed the gun's part by part.

"Don't complicate things, Sasha Muller. Tell me where Kane is and I'll go right away." Lucie said in casual tone.

"Never!" Sasha remained silent as she tighten her hug to her daughter.

In respond to Sasha's stubbornness, the chain-like weapon moved swiftly and snatched her daughter easily. A strong loop was bounded the little helpless kid's left hand while the end shape pointed tip had pierced her weak shoulder.

Screams of pain filled the house in instant. Sasha stared in shock at the splash of her daughter's blood where her strong will began to tremble.

"Where's Kane?" Lucie repeated his question with a flat intonation.

Sasha was still adamant.

"Well, next will be one of her leg, or should be stomach…?" Lucie thought for a moment before the chain straightly went from the daughter shoulder towards her little leg.

"Enough! That's enough!" Sasha Muller finally gave up. "Julius Aditya Kane was with Alvi Veenessa Endley. They went to Tanah Agra along with the two Waldermars." She said in frustrated.

"What happened at there?" Lucie asked curiously.

"He said there was some kind of contest and all of the Dragons were invited. Th—They left just two days ago." Sasha revealed everything.

"Tanah Agra…." Lucie muttered several times. The sacred land of the Dragons. Home to the giant flying creatures that rule over the sky for hundred thousand years. But ever since the ambushed by the Arinas, the sacred land had lost all its strength. The giant floating land was crippled and sunk at the west side of Beta Urora.

"Thanks for the information." Lucie got up and walked straightly to the door. At first glance it looks like he kept his promised. But in the end, the chain-like weapon had moved viciously and torn apart Sasha Muller and her daughter in a blink of eyes.

Then the chain caught up with Lucie in front of the wide open door. Like a little pet following it's master. "You looks a bit dirty," Lucie chirped when he saw the body of the all-black chain had turned into a deep red blood.

The chain seemed to respond to Lucie's words. In the next second, the surface of the chain absorbed the bloodstain. After that the weapon transformed into a thin chain bracelet that wrapped around Lucie's right wrist.

Lucie straightened his robe. The hood was raised over to cover his head before he left Goukana's residence. Hence, all that was left from Lucie's hunting list was Julius Aditya Kane. Willing or unwillingly, he must go to visit his homeland. The Tanah Agra.
