Two weeks later...

Hello and welcome to the Moon News. Where we tell you the latest news, once a full moon.

It's been quite a month for the citizens of Eilliu for there had been not one, not two, but ten explosions in this peaceful town within two weeks. Yes, it seems that famous pharmaceutical company, Noble Rod, had quite a few incidents that resulted in the destruction of many of their factories and warehouses.

However, it has been reported that many people have seen illegal drugs being stored in their warehouses when attempting to assist in putting out the fire. An anonymous source had also posted several drug-dealing records, presumably stolen from Noble Rod, that had the seller signed as Blood Rend.

Noble Rod has refused to comment on this issue and police divisions from other towns have been sent to investigate the issue.

In other news, there had been many leaked documents and video logs showing chief and director of Eilliu's police division, Officer Braen, accepting bribes from a source that has been named Blood Rend. Could it be that it's the very same Blood Rend that Noble Rod's records show? Could this "Blood Rend" be a new organized group of crime-doers setting their foothold on Eilliu? What a chilling thought indeed.

Mr. Braen is currently in custody and being questioned as we speak.

The destruction of Noble Rod's buildings is quite a depressing piece of news, but the threat of a new group of individuals trying to put Eilliu under their grasp is quite concerning to the citizens of the town. Let's hope that the authorities can put a stop to this group before it's too late.

Now onto sports.

"So, what are you gonna do now, Mute?" Mallory was cleaning her blade as she watched the news channel switch over from talking about serious, crime-related events to predicting the winning teams of the latest football tournament no one cares about. "Blood Rend's pretty much done for at this point, at least in this part of the country."

Mute shrugged turning from his computer to Mallory, pointing at her and raising an eyebrow. You?

"Think I'm gonna lay low for a while before leaving town." Mallory shrugged. "Heck, I'll probably leave the country for the time being. Maybe make an honest living in Hawaii or something."

She looked away from the latest baseball tournament results to face Mute. "You've got some really good computer skills, Mute. You can probably get a decent job in a software company or something. What do you think?"

Mute paused for a moment. A stable job sounded nice. After all, he could use a break after everything he's been through. However, the man shook his head before returning his attention to the screen in front of him.

"What would you pursue then?"

Mute stared at the screen, which displayed information stolen from multiple major crime syndicates, organizations that still lurked the earth, taking the money and leaving the bodies of innocents behind.

The man turned to his friend and made two okay signs with his hands horizontally and dipped them up and down.

Justice.

Zane was trembling with barely controlled rage as he stared at the news in front of him.

"Can you believe this?!" Zane shouted at Robert, who was staring intently at the television. "This is outrageous!"

Robert nodded in agreement. "Outrageous indeed, I cannot believe that the Owl Claws were eliminated in the qualifiers. I put quite a lot of money on them."

"That's not what I meant!" Zane shouted, and this time Robert snapped into attention. It isn't always that Zane got angry, and it's even rarer to see the man not be able to contain or disguise his rage.

"You worry too much, Zane," Robert said. "The wolf got lucky, it was given a specific skillset that lets it sneak past our defenses. We'll be ready for it next time."

"What makes you think you'll still have a next time?" Zane gave Robert an unnerving glare. Even the toughest man would've flinched at Zane's gaze, but Robert was unfazed, he was used to that look.

"Because you still need me," Robert smirked. "You know the deal. I'll make super-soldiers out of your precious little puppies as long as you keep funding my research. No one else who is willing to help you has the correct skillset."

"Much good your 'research' did," Zane growled.

"We were about to inject the wolf with the obedience liquid if your guards didn't fail to prevent its escape," Robert rolled his eyes.

"I don't want to argue with you about this," Zane turned his attention to the computer behind them. "How much of your data was destroyed?"

"More than you'd think," Robert grimaced. "But it's salvageable. I still remember most of the formulas we might require, and the wolf failed to delete the backup files for the obedience liquid."

"Good," Zane said, retaining his usual, calm demeanor. "Tell me, Robert, where do you think we should go now?"

Robert smiled, there's the Zane he worked for. "I believe that there is a small town named 'Adventure Bay' that seems relatively closed off from the world. Self-sufficient, remote, near enough from here to move to but just far enough where we can lie low for a while. Also..."

"What?"

"I've heard that the closest thing they have for a police force is led by a 10-year-old consisting of, get this, puppies."

"Puppies?"

"Not humans, not even grown dogs. Puppies." Robert smirked. "I also heard that they're mayor isn't quite reliable either, always more concerned about her pet chicken than her actual duties."

"A mayor...with a pet chicken," At this point, Zane was starting to think that Robert was messing with him.

"No joke," Robert shook his head. "There is also a mountain nearby with a tunnel connecting to nearby cities, where we can transport our goods."

Zane smirked. "This is why you're my adviser, Robert. Always early with your research."

The man took out his phone to make some arrangements. Adventure Bay, eh? Zane smirked. Let's see if that place really is as idiotic as Robert makes it out to be.

Recording 8

When I first started these recordings, it was out of necessity. Not because I'm naïve enough to believe that someone might find these and rescue me, but to prevent myself from going insane, which I think Beatrix knew was gonna happen soon.

When I made my first recording, I never thought that I would live for more than a moon longer, I never thought that I would manage to escape the facility, I never thought that I would see Beatrix die...and live myself.

Things changed a lot since then, things always change sooner or later.

The one thing hasn't changed is the fact that Blood Rend is still around. Sure they aren't gonna be anywhere near Eilliu, which was apparently the town's name, anymore, but they're still around, somewhere.

And I won't rest until I find them and make sure that they can never harm anyone ever again.

This isn't about revenge anymore, though I won't deny that it once was. Beatrix and I weren't the first ones to suffer under Blood Rend and the injustice of this world, but we won't be the last either.

Will I even make much of a difference? Probably not, but I'll never know if I don't try, right? Besides, it'll sate my bloodlust.

Oh, and one more thing, if you're a Blood Rend scum and are somehow listening to this...

Watch your back, and don't trust any of your fancy gadgets to save you.

Your records might remember me as GO-30, but I have a bloody name.

I am Blight, and I'm coming for you.

*Recording End*

Thank you so much for bearing with this story to the very end and thank you to everyone who has ever left a review for it. Seriously, you have no idea how much even a single review is to an author. (Shoutout to Scotty, keep it up with your own work)

Special thanks also goes to my sister who drew the cover for this. For those curious, she's not my half sister nor is she murdered by a secret organization.

Will I write another fanfic? Eh, we'll see in the future.

Thanks again for reading and I hope you all are doing well during the quarantine.
