Dwayne landed with a thud right in he middle of a forest,he looked around,studying his environment. He took a huge breath,feeling the calm atmosphere but he was still baffled.
"How possible is it that there are soul eaters yet this place is cool?" He thought aloud.
He knew there was no one to answer his question but there was only one way finding answers…To go on the mission.
He advanced,careful with his steps. He ensured his bag of weapons was strapped tightly to his back and kept moving.
Suddenly he stopped,feeling a presence,he turned sharply and saw a young girl who had a crossbow slung over her shoulder. She was wearing a hoodie,hence,concealing her face. She had a nice structure too busty and curvy for her age.
Dwayne, surprised,shouted. "Hey you". Rather than reply,the girl walked towards him confidently,not scared of the fact he was older and bigger.
She stopped right before him and stretched her arm.
"I'm Elsa" she greeted. Dwayne knew better than to just shake her so he moved back. His actions made her laugh and she unhooded herself, revealing herself as a beautiful teenager.
She had hazy,blue eyes that had a paralyzing effect on Dwayne.
He suddenly felt aroused,he knew it was his first time being a Dragon and would feel immense lust just like when he first became a Wolf but this was abnormal. It seemed her eyes had the ability of arousing a person.
He struggled but eventually managed to control it by looking away. She laughed and patted his back.
"That's why I'm wearing a hoodie" she said. Dwayne turned to look at her and realized why she wore a hoodie.
"I'm Dwayne" he voiced,feeling blank.
"Nice to meet you Dwayne" she said,breaking into laughter again.
"So…What brings you here?" He asked,walking forward.
"The same reason you're here"she replied. Her reply immediately alerted Dwayne as he turned sharply to face her.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" He asked,raising his arm.
"Calm down,the only reason a person would be here is to free a loved one's soul and that's what I'm here for" she explained,chuckling. Her laughter again amused him.
"Okay but no funny business" he said after a minute of thinking.
They walked for several minutes till they got to the forest exit. Exactly before the exit was a huge Soul eater. He grabbed Elsa and hid behind a tree.
"What was that for?" She asked in a muffled tone because Dwayne had covered her with with his palm.
"That's a fucking Soul eater and it's huge. I wouldn't want it to detect us beforehand so we kill it in stealth" he whispered. She nodded her head,suggesting she understood,then he released her.
"So what do we do now?" She asked in a whisper.
"Run for your lives" a voice sounded. They looked in it's direction and were shocked to see the Soul eater.
Immediately,Elsa fired her shot but the arrow went through him. He smiled,launching his arm in her direction…an attempt to catch her.
She rolled out of the way,leaving Dwayne to face it.
Dwayne immediately jumped,hanging to a tree branch. He jumped again,rolling midair in order to avoid being caught by the soul eater. He landed and attacked it,bringing down his raised fist to it's leg. Being in a phantom state, the Soul eater laughed as the blow went through him.
He brought his fist downwards,hitting the ground. Dwayne barely evaded it by an inch and the effect of the punch sent him backwards and he crashed into a huge tree. He got up,staring at the Soul eater squarely. He remembered vividly a year ago when he encountered a Soul eater.
FLASHBACK
ONE YEAR AGO.
It was the graceful month of July and Inspector Dwayne Sydney sat on the bonnet Toyota Hilux four wheel drive truck. It was night,a time for him to enjoy his snacks before heading back to the Police department.
Being Werewolf,he began to sense a presence,an aura he had never felt before. He got off the truck,ready to face any Supernatural that poised a threat to him.
Just then,a little streak of darkness dropped before him. It quickly unfolded, having a human-like structure.
"Please save me…" it screeched,raising its arm up.
"What?" He asked, unable to decipher its message but he immediately got what it meant.
"They're coming for me" it screeched again and Dwayne immediately squatted,he wanted to grab it but his hand went through.
Just as he was about to try again,a flaming arrow struck it,setting it on fire. It burnt with the flames,turning into a mix of smoke that floated in the sky.
"No" Dwayne screamed as that happened.
PRESENT
As the memory played in Dwayne's mind,he felt two things. Guilt,guilt for not being able to save that soul eater,guilt for letting him die.
Then he felt anger,anger at the soul eater for pleading with him,he later realized what it was and why it was killed by Supernatural hunters. It was there he learned that it just took away the soul's of children in a forest camp.
He remembered the flames,how they turned an embodiment of darkness into nothingness. He smiled and took his sword whick the sheath had been doused in kerosene. He took a lighter from his pocket and lighted the swords,making it flare with flames.
He twirled it expertly,rushing towards the scared Soul eater. With one single strike,the Soul eater had disintegrated to smoke that rose to the horizon.
"You're my hero" Elsa said,throwing herself at him. He smiled,glad he was a hero to another youngster.
"It's okay" he said,stroking her back. She broke from the hug and turned.
"Where do we go next?" She asked.
"Just follow me" he said and they walked out of the forest.
On the outskirt of the forest were several Soul eaters awaiting Dwayne and Elsa. Immediately both got there,they were dumbstruck.
"How the hell did they know?" She asked,hiding behind Dwayne.
"I think they smelled the smoke from the fire" he said,turning around,only to realize that they were surrounded.
An idea suddenly struck his mind.
"Hey Elsa. Are you fireproof?" He asked.
"I am,what do you have in mind?" She replied with a question.
"Get ready,there's gonna be an explosion" he replied and with that,he brought out the Motolov cocktail bombs,grenades and guns.
He unpinned the grenades, throwing them forward,he turned,throwing a Motolov cocktail to forward. Midair,he shot it with his gun,causing aloud explosion.
Elsa also picked up a Motolov cocktail, throwing it in the direction. The last set of Soul eaters found themselves paralyzed on the spot.…an effect of the smoke...
"Any last words?" Dwayne asked,tossing the last Motolov cocktail.
"You might end us but you'll never free the Souls…Draco would destroy you" a Soul eater replied.
"Well,I guess that ends it" Dwayne said and hurled the bomb with immense effort.
It bursted into flames, disintegrating them all into smoke.
"You're my hero" Elsa said again,hugging him amidst the inferno surrounding them.
"Thanks?" Dwayne asked,hugging her tighter.
Minutes later,he broke from the hug and faced her. "We're going to free the Souls. Promise me you won't give up" he said.
"I promise" she answered.
"Good,let's go" he instructed,walking forward.

DYCHES' MANSION
The team gathered around the unconscious Evelyn,Sharon,Christine and Drake. They all anticipated their revival,studying every movement they made.
Abel was worried the most,the fact being that his mother and his friends were unconscious,he hoped that they'd wake up soon.
While the everyone was busy with one thing or the other,Lanre held his phone,chatting with Amina,he smiled as she cracked jokes that lifted his spirit.
Just then,the door swung open and Dele walked in with a female who had a wild rocker's look. Her hair,punk,was tinted in gold.
"Oh,hi guys" he greeted, walking up to Lanre and embraced him.
"I'm good man. AJ,what's up?" He greeted the lady.
Rather than reply,she hissed loudly,ignoring him. She walked up to Abel and stretched her arm forth.
"Hi,I'm AJ. CEO of AJ CORPS." She introduced.
Abel just stared blankly at her,she seemed odd but she was a Supernatural and was on the good side,that was all that mattered.
"I'm Abel Park,it's nice to meet you" he replied,flashing a faux smile.
"Okay,my organization…AJ CORPS. Deals with evil superntaural attacks,we eliminate them,saving the day. I'll love to expand it,so I'm here to invite…" she was cut short by Lanre's tug.
"I think that's enough" he said,facing Abel.
"Guys,this is my boss. AJ. She and the Demigods of Nigeria have fought with several supernaturals and have the experience,they have killed a lot actually and I think she'll be of help in this situation" he explained.
"That's thoughtful of you" Drake said,pouting his lips.
"Thanks Lanre, we'll need all the help we can get" Alpha Alfred appreciated.
Suddenly,Evelyn opened her eyes,getting up. Abel and Darak rushed to her side and pulled her upwards,glad she was alive.
"Mom,I'm glad you're back" Abel said,hugging her tighter.
"I'm also glad you're alright. Has the Soul eaters been defeated?" She asked.
"Yes,Drex and Beta Cole did it." He replied.
"What about the Hellhounds?" She asked.
"The Hellhounds? Lanre destroyed the three Alpha Hellhounds but there are four left" he replied. This brought mixed reactions on her face.
"I'm glad things are getting better" she stated and slumped back into her subconsciousness.
"Mom" Abel called,shaking her.
"She'll be fine,she needs a lot of rest" Darak said,stopping Abel.
