Chapter 723 No More Hiding

In Capitol City…

A large room filled with holographic screens. An older woman stands at the center of the sea of screens, staring at the largest one. It's a map of the entire world. The map has many different places in smaller screens. The long white haired woman with pale skin, straightened her back as she kept her arms crossed. She wore business attire clothing and continued to stare at the different mini-screens in front of her as another data point pulled up.

A metallic door opened and a woman in red heels rushed into the room towards the woman. The woman didn't leave her eyes off the screen, quickly flicking her eyes to different parts of the screens, occasionally pointing at one of the mini-screens and closing it or moving it to the side.

"Ma'am!" The red heeled woman spoke out of breath. The old woman flicked an eye to the woman. Her eyes glowed purple as she acknowledge her co-worker and continued to look at the huge screen. The red heeled woman caught her breath and straightened herself out. "Ma'am, I just got confirmation that Electra has been wiped out."

The white haired woman stopped what she was doing. In an instant, the whole room froze as the woman slowly turned her head to look at the red heeled woman. The woman gulped at the immense pressure the Deimon woman was giving. Data points began to spring all over the screen, filling it as the red heeled woman quickly bowed her head down out of fear.

"Ms. Romon… Say that, again?" The Deimon asked. Ramon gulped and didn't raise her head to look up at the woman.

"E-Electra has… died. Her vital signs are… gone." Romon repeated with a shaky voice. The white haired Deimon sighed and nodded.

"Who killed her?" The Deimon asked. Romon gulped and took a couple looks at the map before forcing herself to look down, again. "Who, Ms. Romon? I want to know what was responsible of killing someone of her caliber."

"W-we, uh…" Romon's breath began to pick up as the Deimon turned and sighed. The Deimon lifted Romon's head up and watched the fear fill Romon's entire body.

"Take your time, dear. Breathe. In and out. In and out."

Romon took a moment to catch her breath and nodded as the Deimon released her finger on her. Romon gulped and readjusted herself. She pulled the tablet from her side and opened it.

"Electra was killed by an unknown entity. According to the data we gathered, it's a UW." The entire room froze as Romon spoke the last few letters. The Deimon lady's eyes hardened as every data screen turned off.

"An Unknown Walker killed Electra?" The Deimon asked.

"Y-yes, Corinth." Romon bowed her head.

"Leave. All of you." Corinth motioned. The entire group scattered, leaving Corinth alone. A loud electral surge erupted all over her as she let out a grunt. Heavy breaths escaped through her open mouth.

The room was quiet for a moment until the large screen flicked on. An image of earth rotated, spinning and stopping in the Americas. It zoomed in on a spot and quickly pulled up a data point.

ELECTRA --D1642

STATUS: DEAD

RANK: 1642

SUBORDINATES: 1

Corinth flicked her finger and another data screen appeared. She licked her lips and nodded. She turned and didn't flinch as the butler stood there, waiting for her.

"I want to see this UW that killed D1642. Do you have a warp ready?" Corinth asked Neo.

"I think you'll be in for a treat, Corinth." Neo replied as they moved to the end of the room. Neo grabbed the door and looked at Corinth. "Aren't you curious who it could be?"

"Why do you think I'm going to see the bastard that did this?" Corinth asked. Neo pushed himself against the door and tilted his head. "Get out of my way, Neo. You know I run a tight ship. Just cause you work for the Queen doesn't mean you can just waltz over here whenever you miss me."

"Oh, c'mon, Corinth." Neo smiled. "Wouldn't you want to know who exactly did it before you waltz on over there?" He raised his eyebrows and waited for Corinth to take the bait. Corinth shifted, agitated and motioned for him to speak. Neo straightened himself up and lifted his finger up to the large older woman.

Corinth side and raised her finger, stopping at the last moment.

"If this is a joke to get control over me, it won't work." Corinth growled.

"No jokes. I'm simply doing what I was told to do. Sharing is caring, right? We Deimons… Have to stick together, right?" Neo smiled. Corinth pushed her finger into his and felt a prick. In an instant, she had all the information she needed on who did this. A burning image of the Creator's son, Lee Seng Chang, etched itself into her head. She could see how Electra died.

"Electra didn't to any ordinary UW." Neo shook his head. He pushed himself off the door and moved off to the other side of the door and stood against it. "Electra died to D-11, the Rogue Singular." Corinth's glossed eyes faded as she lowered her hand down to her side. Her eyes moved over to Neo, burning with rage as Neo nodded. "Can I cash in that favor, dear old Corinth?"

"Fine." Corinth nodded. She grabbed the door and opened it. She moved out of the large space with Neo behind her. Neo smiled as he summoned his cane and twirled it.

"It's a go." Neo whispered, slamming the cane down onto the floor. Corinth stopped and turned, realizing Neo was already up to something. Blood swirled around Neo as he bowed at Corinth.

"What're you doing?" Corinth asked.

"I've asked and you've given me an answer." Neo answered. "You know how this goes." Blood continued to swirl around Neo as a blood string flew out and attached itself to Corinth's pricked finger. "Now, my dear Corinth… The next phase is starting and you, my dear, are going to be at the helm of it all! Rejoice for the Queen is ready for all the Deimons to come out of the shadows!"

The blood quickly exploded, firing outwards in every direction. Corinth look around and noticed just before the blood took her… Her people were dead. Neo had killed them all.

"You bastard." Corinth managed to shout before disappearing. Neo gave a swift bow and smiled.

"It is done!" Neo announced. "Now, it's time to enact the Queen's will. Time to send Corinth to where she needs to be." Where Neo's cane was now placed with a small blood orb. He rolled the orb in his fingers, looking at it. Corinth and several other Deimons were trapped in there - frozen in time to Neo's trick.

"All of you will do as the Queen has demanded. IT's only natural you follow a Queen's orders - especially when her soon-to-be wedded husband is only the most powerful man in the entire universe!" Neo chuckled. Neo stepped forward as a single bloody footprint was left. Neo swirled into blood, disappearing from his spot and appeared in a throne room.

"Is it done, my butler?" Queen asked.

"It is done, my Queen." Neo bowed.

"Good." Queen shifted in her seat. "Release them." Neo bowed one more time and lifted the blood orb up to the light. The blood orb ripples as Neo pulls his hand back and widens the blood orb. It grows large, spilling the people as the blood floods back into his body. A bunch of Deimons land, facing the Queen as she looks at them with Queenie by her side.

"That damn butler!" Corinth growled. "Why I outta-"

Captain Childs flew out, moving straight for Neo in an instant. Neo smiled as he dodged the burst of flame coming at him. Captain Childs threw more punches as the other ongoing Deimons turned to face him.

"Comin' at me with help?" Neo asked as he blocked Childs' fiery attack. Blood exploded outwards, extinguishing the flames in an instant. A young boy stepped off to the side, watching as Corinth's body lit up in purple lines. She slammed her hands together as purple lines shot outwards like data. "Gonna take more than that, dear friend."

Neo tossed Childs into the line of fire, watching her take the brunt of it as he pulled the blood around him. An icy spear landed in between Neo and the other Deimons, exploding in a frenzy of icicles. Cesar landed next to Neo and let out a cold breath.

"Enough. You all know exactly what's going to happen." Cesar told them. The ice disappeared, revealing frozen Deimons. Corinth and Captain Childs seemed the most shocked of the sudden attack. "Turn to bow to the Queen." He twisted his hand and watched as the ice sculptures of Deimons turned. The ice shattered and a strange hold forced them all to bow.

"Well, I wouldn't expect anything less from the heads of the other factions." Queen cleared her throat. "I, Queen, come before you all to…" She stopped and tilted her head. "Well, I guess I come to give you all an order."

"If you think I'll take orders from you, you're—" A large fat man began to speak as a pistol pushed itself into the side of the large fat man's skull. Connie smiled, cocking the gun.

"It's from Master." Queen spoke. "You shall all start your duties starting today. You will all report to me and I will report to the Master."

"What?" Childs looked up at Queen with a ticked off look. "Why didn't he just tell us himself? Or are you his puppet?"

"Think what you want, Childs." Queen rolled her eyes. "The day of Deimon kind hiding is over. We will start now."

"What about Electra's death?" Corinth asked. "What about her? What do we do now that she's dead?"

"Unlike all of you, she never had subordinates. She always toyed with the human mind." Queen shrugged. "Do we really need someone like her for the next phase?" Corinth gritted her teeth as her fists balled. "I won't beat around the bush. The Master desires results. If you can't get results… At least die more worthy than that fire monkey."

"You're such a bitch." Corinth chuckled. "You think you can rule over us but you are nothing but a weak imitation." Corinth began to turn as an icicle pointed at her. "What? Aren't we done? Listen to the Master. I will do that, but I'm not entirely sure I'll listen to what a hollowed Deimon says. After all, you aren't full like the rest of us." Corinth pushed the icicle away and moved out of the throne room with the rest of the Deimon leaders turning one by one.

"Do you think they should be able to say such a thing to you, Queen?" Queenie asked. "I could, y'know, end them. Maybe that would show them."

"No, don't." Queen raised her hand. "Let them do their jobs. We'll continue to watch." Queen shifted her gaze onto Queenie. "You should go back, dear. You do have a job to do." Queenie's form shifted. A gust of wind moved all around as Queenie was replaced by a woman in a black leather jacket and ripped pants.

"Don't worry, Mom." Number 7 smiled. "I'll make sure things go as planned. One way or the other."
