{Ben}

I've been really worried about Victoria lately. She started having power surges a week ago right before High Ruler Trinity made her ruling about destroying all of the locations for the Fifth. It's about time the Fifth got what was coming for them.

Every time Victoria's had a power surge it looks like she's having a seizure. But there are sometimes when she starts floating towards the ceiling from her bed and she looks like she's possessed. When that happens Louis, Riley, Ross, Walter and I try to make sure to keep Jenny out of the room. That way she won't find out the truth about her sister.

Delilah on the other hand was harder to keep away from Victoria. As soon as she heard that Victoria was having power surges which we told her that they were seizures she insisted that she come visit Victoria with me. That only irritated Victoria and today was no different.

When Delilah stepped into the house she walked ahead of me. "Delilah! Wait up!"

She stopped as soon as she got towards the steps leading up to Victoria's room. She looked at me. "Why? Why can't I see her?"

I narrowed my eyes. "You know why. Don Victoria obviously doesn't want to see you-"

I didn't get to finish my sentence when Ross came up to me with a panicked look on his face. "Ben, we need you right now upstairs."

"I wanna go!" Delilah said.

Ross paused. "Yeah, no thanks we don't even let Jenny come into the room most of the time with this. So you're not allowed either."

Jenny came up from behind Ross and sighed, "It's true! They don't want my help."

"Then what should I do in the meantime?" Delilah asked.

"Go wait in the living room downstairs, both of you. I'm sure you'll figure out what to do to keep yourselves occupied or you could just go home?" I suggested.

"Fine," Delilah pouted. "I'll wait in the living room-"

Jenny cut her off, "Why do you care so much now? You could find out how she's doing at home!"

"The same thing goes for you!" Delilah snapped.

"Well at least Victoria will allow me to visit her from time to time when she's not sick or busy," Jenny said while giving Delilah a smug look. "And I can refer to Victoria without a title in front of her name."

Ross rolled his eyes. "Would you two knock it off! If you're going to stay here, no fighting. This is a house where one of the most powerful mafia bosses lives. Not a battlefield!"

"Speaking of battlefield," I heard Alastor say, "Ben I'm going to need to talk to you after you visit with Victoria."

I nodded. "Yes sir."

Alastor looked at Jenny and Delilah and said, "You two follow me."

When they walked off I followed Ross upstairs to Victoria's room. She was screaming bloody murder and I heard bones cracking as if she was trying to shift into her demon form.

Ross flinched. "That looks painful. And she's floating."

"Yeah it reminds me of when I first shifted into my wolf," Riley said. She shuddered. "That wasn't pleasant. But at least I wasn't floating in the air when I did it."

I went into Victoria's room to find her floating in the air on her back struggling to breathe. If any regular human saw that they would've thought that Victoria was possessed.

My eyes went wide when I saw that and I quickly shifted into my demon form and flew up to the ceiling. I grabbed Victoria and I held onto her as I flew back down to the bed.

"Victoria look at me, take a deep breath, breathe… Look at me," I said in a soothing voice.

Victoria gasped for air but she wasn't breathing properly.

"Victoria," I said as I put my hand underneath her chin. "Look at me… Look at me…"

I took a deep breath along with her and I kissed her. After I kissed her she calmed down.

"Shhh," I said. I held onto her and changed back into my human form. "It's okay Victoria. Shhhh…"

"I hate this," Victoria wheezed.

"I know but it's bound to happen because of your power. I even had to deal with power surges when I was younger," I said.

"Really? How bad were yours?" She asked.

"Bad but not this bad," I answered.

"Is she calm now?" I heard Walter say.

I looked behind me to see Walter standing in the doorway with a tray in his hands. On the tray was a bowl of soup, a cup with some dark liquid in it that I'm assuming was some sort of medicine, pain medicine and a can of soda.

I nodded. "Looks like it."

Victoria looked at the tray that Walter had in his hands and sighed. "I guess I should eat something after struggling to breathe properly."

Walter chuckled, "At least take your medicine before you try to sleep."

She groaned. "Do I really have to take that stuff?"

"Yeah because so far it's been helping you. You've only had one power surge every other day right now," Walter said.

She snorted and said with sarcasm, "Oh gee, that sounds so comforting."

He sat down on the bed beside me and placed the tray on the nightstand next to Victoria. He smiled at me. "I can take it from here."

I nodded and stood up to leave. When I left the room Ross pulled me over to the side and said, "Smooth move kissing her. Good thing Delilah's not around, you'll break her heart if she catches you doing that."

I laughed, "I know. Unfortunately, Victoria doesn't feel that it's time to reveal my 'betrayal' just yet. It's all part of her revenge and I can't wait until she gets it."

"Yeah the same goes for me," Ross said.

I walked off to go talk to Alastor to see what he wanted.

***

When I met up with Alastor he was sitting in one of the other living rooms that were in the mansion.

"Your Highness? You called for me?" I asked.

Alastor nodded. "This is about the third location of the Fifth that we'll be going after tomorrow. I want you to be my assistant in directing the warriors to their targets during the battle. I think you're more than capable of handling this task. I would have you lead the battle but I want to lead so that I can get into certain areas of the locations to have a better chance of finding one of Victoria's boxes. This will be the last box we need to find because we've already found the other two."

"Yes, Your Highness," I said. "Will do my best."

"That's good to know. I can't until Victoria gets her revenge so she can come home finally," Alastor said.

"That makes two of us," I said.

Location: The third Headquarters of the Fifth. This location is also in a forest.

Ben and Alastor stood in front of the gates at the third location of the Fifth.

"You know what's funny, Your Highness?" Ben whispered.

Alastor looked at Ben and raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"That all of the headquarters for the Fifth are forests," Ben said.

"I bet they feel secure because the terrain hides their location somewhat," Alastor responded.

"And we're not going to do what High Ruler Trinity at the first location are we?" Ben asked.

Alastor shook his head. "Nah, I wouldn't waste my breath on that. We already know what their answer will be anyway."

Ben didn't say anything else because he didn't need to. Ben and Alastor knelt down behind the bushes in front of the front gates and waited for the signal.

One of their warriors went through the front gates after being shrunk by a witch that cast a spell on him. He went through the front gates by way of a drain that was sticking out of the brick wall next to the gates. The warrior scurried through the drain as if he were a rat.

When he got inside the gates that shrinking spell that had been used on him wore off and he went back to his original size. The guards didn't notice him because they had had a long shift and it was almost time for them to get off work so a couple of them were nodding off a little while trying to keep their eyes open.

"I don't understand why we're working such long shifts now," One of the guards whined.

The other he was talking to rolled his eyes. "Did you hear about what happened to the other two headquarters? We need to be on guard at all-"

The guard didn't get to finish his sentence as the warrior snuck up behind him and slit his throat. Before the other guard could sound the alarm the warrior slit his throat too.

There were a total of five different guards stationed at the front gates and once the warrior killed them all he shouted, "Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!" He shouted while mimicking the sounds of a crow.

Alastor and Ben smiled at each other because that was the signal.

"Let's go," Alastor ordered.

Ben and the other warriors with him nodded and followed Alastor into the headquarters. Once they got inside, the warriors spread out to different areas. The Fifth's headquarters looked like a small village. It had a police station, a small school building, and a row of houses lined up across each other on one street. In the center of the village was a huge temple.

Ben rolled his eyes when he saw the temple. "Do they really need a temple? What, do they want God's forgiveness while committing their crimes?"

Alastor scoffed, "That's exactly why only 2% of humans get to go to Heaven! Like L would forgive them for something like that? Unless they kiss his ass in order to get into Heaven…"

Ben snorted. "So where to go first?"

"Let's start with the police station just like Satan when he let himself get caught," Alastor said. He smirked. "Maybe we can have some fun with the little baby police officers."

They didn't have to worry too much about the other places at the headquarters because they had warriors stationed at every exit possible so there was no chance of escape. Then shouts and screams started.

Alastor's smirk turned into a sinister smile but then he rolled his eyes when a siren went off. "Oh for fucks sake! Oh it doesn't matter because no one is safe here anyway."

People started running out of the buildings going to the shelters that were designated safe places in case of some type of attack. They didn't get very far because the demon warriors that were waiting for them flew up in the air shooting their arrows. There were demon warriors with arrows in the air fighting and there were demon warriors on the ground fighting with swords and knives. The warriors targeted the women and children first and for the most part taking them out was easy.

The demon warriors in the air were having fun shooting their arrows at the women and children on the ground because to them it was like shooting fish in a barrel. The women and children were pretty much sitting ducks because they didn't have anywhere to hide; they were just out in the open.

Alastor laughed as he saw his warriors having fun killing people because he knew they hadn't seen battle in a while. So this was a nice change of pace for them.

When Alastor and Ben got to the Police Station they were disappointed to see that all of the police officers were gone.

"Seriously? What, did all of the police officers get the day off?" Ben said.

"I have no idea. Maybe they're trying to get as many people as they can to the shelters?" Alastor said.

Ben shrugged and then he spotted something on the floor of the station at the lobby entrance. It was a piece of wood that had been moved off to the side that led to a secret passageway.

"Hmm, it feels like we're walking into a trap. This just looks waaay too easy," Ben said.

Alastor nodded in agreement. "If these humans want to play games before they die, let 'em. This should be fun. It's not like they could really kill us anyway."

They went down the stairs and found a room that had the police officers waiting for them.

One of the police officers smirked. "I can't believe you fell for it!"

Ben looked at Alastor with a look that said 'I told you so.'

Alastor chuckled and rolled his eyes. "We didn't 'fall for it' as you say. We just came down here to have a little fun. We knew it was a trap coming into this."

The officer scoffed, "Uh-huh sure you did."

Alastor crossed his arms and taunted. "Well, go ahead with your silly little attacks. I'll stand still for you. But when you're done I'll kill you."

The officers in the room snickered as if Alastor had told the funniest joke ever.

"Just let you know, we're stronger than the officers at the first two headquarters. Yeah we know what you did and what you're doing now. Which is why our kidnapping your children is completely justified! You guys are monsters! So in order to tame a monster you need to turn them into a human!" The lead officer snarled.

Alastor laughed, "Sometimes I wonder if humans are the real demons here. You humans commit all sorts of heinous crimes in the name of justice. The rich humans are even more corrupt and they get away with commiting crimes all the fucking time! All they have to do is pay the right person in the justice system and everything gets swept under the rug. Tsk, tsk. But okay I'm a man of my word. I'll stand still and then when you're done attacking, I'll attack back."

Alastor stood still and held his arms behind his back while Ben shrugged and did the same thing. The officers in the room shared a sinister look. The officers open fired with their weapons and the summoning squad was already in the room with the officers.

They cast their spells in an effort to stun Alastor and Ben so that their leader could cast a spell in order to send them back to Hell. Ben was starting to weaken but Alstor was just standing there with a sinister smile on his face.

After a half hour of the officers firing their weapons and the summoning squad casting their spells, the officers and summoning squad were starting to lose steam. Ben was weaker at this point he stood there taking attack after attack. Normally he had great endurance but with the constant attacks his endurance was starting to give out.

One of the witches of the summoning squad noticed how weak Ben was getting and took that as an opportunity to attack him and send him back to Hell. They charged at him and he blocked their attack with his sword.

They kept attacking him and he easily dodged and blacked their attacks despite being weak at the moment. One of the officers in the room also attacked Ben by throwing a couple of daggers and one of them grazed his shoulder. Ben let out a yelp of pain but kept going with the fight.

Alastor rolled his eyes as he stepped in between Ben and the witch and the officer attacking him. "Like I said, sometimes I wonder if humans are actually demons and not the other way around."

Alastor drew his swords and started deflecting the last of the attacks from the officers and the witches. He didn't realize that one of his warriors was waiting in the shadows to help out on stand by. When the warrior saw that Alastor didn't need any help he retreated and went to another location to help others carry out their attacks.

Alasor went through and killed the officers one by one by beheading them with his swords. He laughed a sinister laugh as he killed them.

The witches however, were not stopping with their attacks. Ben managed to kill five of them by slitting their throats as he deflected their attacks. Alastor took care of the rest of the officers and the witches by beheading them. Once the smoke from the attacks settled, Alastor looked around and laughed, "It's too bad this fight didn't last longer." He looked at Ben. "But you seemed to be getting tired so I had to stop this."

Ben stopped to catch his breath. "I'm fine Your Highness…"

Alastor rolled his eyes. "Oh I'm sure you are. That's exactly what all of my Generals say after a long battle. Don't be too hard on yourself okay? At least-"

He stopped talking and looked in front of him to see an altar and sitting on it was the last box that Victoria's powers were sealed away in. Ben frowned when Alastor stopped talking. "At least what?"

Alastor smiled and pointed to the altar. "Well no wonder why the summoning squad was here along with their stupid police officers! They were trying to protect the box." He looked around the room to see the heads of the dead officers and witches just scattered around the room. A couple of the heads were lying a foot away from their bodies. "This was fun, now let's get the box and get out of here so we can finish burning this place down. I bet you that the smaller branches of the Fifth are going to go into hiding now. But as I told His Majesty Satan that I'll have no problem tracking every single one of them down."

Ben fell over suddenly because Alastor used his powers to knock him out so he could rest. He called one of his warriors over and handed Ben to him.

"Escort General Ben home, he needs to rest after this battle," Alastor commanded. He took a compass out of his pocket and handed it to the warrior. "This should guide you to his house as well as give an invisibility spell so no one can see you until you get General Ben's front doorstep. There's a chance that a woman named Delilah might greet you. If she asks what happened, tell her that he was involved in a fight with another mafia and leave it at that."

The warrior nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."

With that the warrior walked upstairs and flew off with Ben in his arms. After the warrior left Alastor turned his attention to Victoria's box. He took Victoria's box off the altar and carried it with him up the stairs. He turned and looked down at the stairs that he just walked up and said to himself, "Hmm, it's a shame I wasn't allowed some of you alive to play with. I hear humans feel a lot more pain from torture when they're still alive. Oh well…"

He snapped his fingers and summoned a lit torch and he threw the torch down the steps and the fire started in the room where he killed those police officers and witches.

When Alastor and the rest of his warriors left the third headquarters of the Fifth that day, every person there died. The buildings there were burned to ashes to send a message to the smaller branches of the Fifth. The message was: Even if you weren't at the three headquarters of the Fifth we will find you… and we will kill you… The High Ruler has sent her judgment and you will meet the same fate…
