Chapter 249: Karen arrested

"New mission" Kenny informed as he read from a tablet "Assassination"

"The worshippers?"

"Yeah, the worshippers" he nodded

My bonds probably already briefed my girlfriends about them already, but I'll help brief you readers.

Judging from the title, you can easily know what they do, they worship the gorgers and think that the specials are some sort of reincarnation of a deity sending us a message and the gorgers are a punishment from god, so their goal is to interfere with us soldiers killing the gorgers.

So from time to time, we get missions to kill them since they usually like to interfere with the military's mission. We tried peaceful negotiation and everything, but they didn't give a care, the chose violent and couldn't be stopped. So we had to fight back, kill them if necessary since they have also killed a few of our own.

The first humans I kill were the infecteds, but they didn't really bother me since those infecteds were only former humans. I remember my first kill, I threw up a lot and could barely sleep. But now killing is just natural for me.

But no one realized, that Karen herself is one of the worshippers including a few in the upcoming mission, they have made contact with the specials beforehand and prepared an ambush for us.

"How many of them are there?" Kelly asked

"34, 9 ability holders. And out of the 34, only 22 have minor experiences in fighting while the rest are properly trained assailants" Kenny answered "We can choose sneaky assassination or fight them up front"

"Sneaky is better, let's just do the usual" Benny suggested

"Yeah, I can snipe from far away and Grace can hide his presence, if they notice us, you and Kelly can jump in" Kenny nodded "We're allowed to destroy the hole facility if we must"

"When is the mission?" Damon asked

"Um, in 2 days" Kenny answered "And in less than 2 months, we'll do that big mission and say good bye to this place"

-We can't kill Karen yet, but we can kill one of her squad members as her, we need to slow her group down-

-Illusion magic?- Siege asked -A good idea, especially with spatial magic, you can deliver the similar killing blow like her and basically imitate her attacks-

-I can go with your illusion magic on me, I can use most spatial magic apart from warp, and with my human form, I can move like her and get her arrested-

-Yeah, and with you away on that mission, you'll have an alibi- Ace agreed

-Yep, I like to make her suffer a bit-

-I'll keep a watch up here- Diana reported as she is in the bird form flying above in the sky

Siege and Ace running around and spying around Karen's squad house to keep watch as Damon who is in disguise as Karen got into the house.

-Good, there's cameras- Damon commented as he make sure the camera sees him heading into one of the member's room, he activated his spatial magic, swiped his arm and erased the sleeping person along with their bed.

And he had to make it look like Karen tried to cover her tracks, as he used spatial magic to erase a few cameras, destroyed a few with pistols, but left one barely destroyed so that they can recover footage when investigation starts.

And while they're doing all this, the Levens are carrying their assassination attempt

1st person view

I was hiding in a corner and waited for the guy patrolling to walk by.

I then grabbed the guy, clamped his mouth and used my knife to slit his throat before going back into the shadows. I then ran around the base and took my scoped rifle out

I shot a few as Kenny sniped them from a distance. The few left sounded an alarm, but was also shot down by me and Kenny. Kelly and Benny then jumped in, Kelly took out her rifle, rushed in and killed a few while Benny's whip can slashes out and cut them in halves

"I told you, that I didn't do it!" Karen denied "That's an impersonator!"

"We have people who can copy skills but even they can't copy your unique ability" the interrogator countered "Same with Grace Leven and a few others, there are some abilities that can't be copied or even artificially extracted. But until further investigation is done, you will be detained here until further notice. And don't try to escape"

"What if his third ability is transformation and he recently manifest another one?!"

"If he had, we would know"

On her neck is a collar that dampen one's abilities, and so were her cuffs, the military are taking the most extreme precaution when it comes to dealing with her.

"She might seek fame, but even she's not the type to kill her own squad for her own spotlight" the interrogator commented as he left the room

"Yeah, and we can't imprison her either, too much backlash. The soldier lost was only ranked 13th anyway, many replacement can be made to fill the spot" a general pointed out "We'll let her out but keep a close eye on her, after all she isn't invincible."

"But sir, until we can really determine that it was an imposter, she's dangerous, no one is sane enough to kill their own squad mate after the years they bonded together"

"That's why I will have a discussion with the higher up and see if we can trust her enough to release her for that mission against the specials" the general replied "If not, we have 6 of the top 10 going anyway with a few others who are similar in strength"

"Geez, I really shouldn't messed with her, no one is sane if they have the guts to kill their own comrades" Benny commented as we watched the news

"We do have a few clause in our agreement where we can kill each other"

"You siblings are sickos" Eliza commented

"You just realized?"

"Your fault for dating the wrong guy" Benny grumbled "But that only happens if one of us becomes a demon overlord, the others will then have to stop them, killing if necessary"

"Or a zombie" Kelly added "But if we become a zombie who still retain our sense of self, then we'll let them live under extreme precaution."
