The waves slammed down on the shore of the island. They were somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, far away from Oleander City. He had never actually left his city. When he had gained the title of Green after killing the previous leader of Zoo, it had almost bound him to his city.
Yet here he was now. Shivering out in the cold as the sun set. It was a mostly sunken island. One that had been nearly destroyed during a Beast attack a few years ago. Demonica and Saw Head stood near the back. Monsters, the type created by the previous Lord of Life, would be needed to try and speak to the person he was about to break out of Nightshade.
Besides those two, he was the only other person on the island. He gripped the handle of the sword Harrison Avalon had allowed him to use. A white blade covered in runes. The thing that allowed him to freely teleport to anywhere the blade had been. Luckily, wherever Avalon went, the sword went, so needless to say, there were quite a few options for the sword's teleportation.
Green Wolf took a moment to stretch his body and loosen his muscles. It was about to be time. "So. Any advice for dealing with the woman? You served on her team fifteen years ago, right?"
Demonica didn't bother looking at him. Her eyes were fixed on the sea. They were nowhere near Nightshade; despite that, though, her eyes never stopped looking out toward where the prison would be. Or perhaps she was looking in the direction of Fairy Queen.
"Okay, good talk." Green Wolf picked his sword up and placed it over his shoulder. Saw Head let out a buzzing noise as the saw that made up his face began to spin. "Oh yeah, I totally agree, man, Demonica's got an ass straight out of hell."
"I hope Fairy Queen tears you in two." Demonica finally said.
"And I hope Myth shows up and rips your other arm clean off. Even you out a bit. We don't always get what we want, though." He pointed the sword out towards the island. "Wish me luck."
"Break a leg. Seriously. Both, if you can."
"Take me there." Green Wolf felt a surge of force around him, and colors expanded and exploded; then, in a loud 'pop', he was gone. Everything came crashing back as he appeared.
The gate to Nightshade was placed directly in the center of the prison. Due to the fact that mental-based technology would act up around it, the room that held the door had around forty soldiers. On top of that, there were ten different cameras, and at other parts of the cube, each in their own room, were ten other men, watching the security cameras at all times. In each of their rooms was another set of cameras, all linked to one another, so even if a person tried to start with them first, the other nine camera guards would know and have time to react.
At least if they were dealing with any other villain...
A guard slouched in his chair and let out a sigh. He rubbed at the bags under his eyes and stared at the various monitors in front of him. One of them showed the room that held the sphere. The other showed the other camera guards. That was when he saw it.
It took him a moment to figure out what he was seeing. One of the cameras was just utterly red. It wasn't just one camera, either. Nearly half had been blocked out. From his view, he watched one of the guards who had noticed the same thing. Then he watched as, in a flash, that guard's head rolled off their body.
"Oh shit-"
It was too late for him to press any alarms.
Green Wolf swung his sword, cutting another head off. Normally, he liked to play with his food, but this game was all about speed. In the middle of swinging his sword, he would teleport and appear behind one of the other guards. He'd have about five seconds to kill them all before they could trigger the alarms.
