Chapter 24:

Bits and Pieces, Scattered all around

Lyceus Awaits


One month had passed, things were still very hectic. There was despair, sadness, pressure and it was overall a very tense situation. Axcel was fighting cases for all of them and while he was doing that he told everyone to go into hiding to avoid getting arrested. On the other hand even though Lyceus was now a headline worldwide William was nowhere to be found.

William had killed many people and been killing many people non stop, with Lyceus Awaits carved on all the main ones. The cases of bodies with Lyceus Awaits were rising everywhere drastically. Axcel knew that he would not stop till he killed Ethan and then The Head. This was also making their case harder to fight as there were more murders but Axcel did prove in court that the killings had nothing to do with the rest of them.

The first thing Axcel was able to do successfully was that he got the charges on himself dropped. These things made it easy for Axcel to fight the cases with complete flexibility. The real problem was dropping the charges on the Argonaut members, with all their criminal records. Though all the cases were made easier as Axcel was still in contact with Max and due to Max's hacking skills he got all the evidence and data he needed to fight the cases.

Two years later...

All the cases had been dropped after two years of hard work, their innocence had finally been proven in the court but the media had portrayed them as such that they were still evil in public's eyes. At the same time Alice had woken up from her coma. Martin, as soon as he saw her open her eyes told this good news to Axcel and Axcel rushed to them as quickly as he could.

By the time Axcel came Alice was fully awake and her first words were that what happened and where is William. To answer those questions Axcel told her that she went in coma and everything that happened after that. While listening to Axcel, Alice cried for William and was shocked that so much had happened. After Axcel was finished she suggested that they should find and bring back William as soon as possible to that Axcel replied that he didn't know where William was but now that she is awake and the cases have been dropped he will call the others back and have the team back together.

Axcel contacted Max and told him to come back and tell the others to come back as well. When everyone arrived at Martin's house they were glad to see each other after so long and were surprised to see Alice awake. Anthony had also visited his mother who was now in a hospital and not hidden. Anna had also managed to contact Dante and told him to come back from his search for Grim Reaper as well.

Dante used to be an outsider who travelled here and there looking for food and a place to stay. One day when the Grim Reaper was going back after a mission he saw young Dante dying of hunger. He couldn't see that sight so he decided to take that child to Nathan so that he could figure out what to do with him. Nathan and Grim Reaper together decided that they would train him to be a Watchdog member.

After Dante got his suit it was coloured teal and an exception to his suit was that it didn't have a shadow. Dante had many abilties like travelling through the shadows and getting into someone's mind. He could also create with black aura around its blade which was really strong. When Dante got serious the black aura would appear all around him making him stronger.

When Dante got back to them Axcel told his plan to everyone. The plan was simple they would first track down William and after that convince him to come back. He also told them that if required they would use force to bring William back. The team also needed a name so merging the two names, Watchdogs and Argonauts, Axcel named it The Dogs of Argon.

The plan had now started Max was now tracking William which was pretty easy as he was not really hiding. Max found out that William was on his way to kill a black market druglord. All of them went to that place immediately using Justin's portal. The place was a big building in which drugs were made illegally.

William came from the sky like a fast shooting star. He blasted through the roof and many of the buildings floors till he reached the ground. He was so fast and contained so much force that the whole building and the land near it was shaking for a while.

All of them went in to get William and saw William with the neck of the druglord in his hands. Just as they were watching William snapped his neck without hesitation. After William saw them, he vanished within a matter of second before anyone could even stop him.

Everyone especially Alice and Axcel were saddened to see what had happened to William but Axcel was now going to be fully preapared to capture William with force the next time he sees him.
