115 Vol. 2 pt. 52 Patch 9.0: Confrontations and Revelations (2/2)
Rising up from his cushions, Ull takes the prisoners' chain in one hand while grabbing his partner by her horns. She may not have her usual chains on as she dressed well for this occasion, but being so roughly handled by her horns is still pleasurable enough for her while allowing Ull to keep up his dominant act.

While Fenrir may be used to being popular, something he is not used to his controlling a crowd with means other than by killing everybody in it. Were this the old days, he could just use magic, explosives, or guns to disperse the crowd in one way or another. That isn't an option here, sadly.
He gets an idea. It isn't a useful idea by any means, nor is it at all relevant to the current situation much to his girlfriends' dismay, but it is an idea that matters greatly to his inner weeaboo.
”Tabitha, if you can make golems, couldn't you make like a giant mecha golem?” Fenrir asks.
”I've already got schematics for one!” Tabitha answers with a proud smile and thumbs-up. ”They're somewhere in my backpack.”
”The hell are you talking about that weird stuff right now for, you bastard?” Cassiel asks, pulling on Fenrir's good ear.
”Just a random thought. Another random thought is Rod being able to turn into a giant mecha.”
Rod pulses twice without any hesitation.
”Don't be so boring, Rod,” Fenrir says.
Fortunately for the crew of The Shoebill, some of the city's guards arrive to help break up the crowd and make space for the crew to walk.
…
”What?” Alexander asks a casually-dressed man in an alley.
”They found us. Our men waiting for the signal were dug up and dragged away by the witch herself. I'm sorry, sir,” the man apologizes with his eyes unable to look Alexander straight on.
Alexander's enraged expression only grows more twisted as he smashes a fist into the stone wall of a building behind him.
”They're supposed to have shitty security! The fuck happened?” he asks, though it sounds more like he is demanding an answer from a man incapable of giving one satisfactory enough.
”It – it was like they were specifically looking for any disturbed ground. I guess the cannon from the second round was highjacked in the same way we were going to do it,” the man explains. ”They already knew what to look for.”
”Damn it! Who the hell pulled that off, and why did it just have to happen now?”

”I'm sorry, sir, I don't—” the man's words are cut off by Alexander grabbing him by his neck and lifting him up off the ground, forcing him against the wall.
”Your respawn is still set in the north, right?”
”Y-yes, sir.”
Alexander drops the man in his hands, draws his sword, and slashes at the man's neck.
”Make your report and tell her that I'll be on my way back soon. The plan might be ruined, but I still have something to take care of. I am not going to return emptyhanded,” Alexander explains to the man bleeding out just moments before life leaves his eyes.
Alexander returns to The Steel Tiger where repairs are already underway. The surviving crewmembers know that the plan is off going by his expression, so they work even faster to prepare for departure.
”I have something to take care of. I want this piece of shit ready to leave the moment I'm back,” Alexander orders his crew before entering the captain's quarters.
Inside is a large chest full of exotic gear far better than what he is currently wearing.
One of the items is a necklace that, when he slips it around his neck, causes him to vanish from sight.
His crewmembers don't see him leave, but they hear him as the heavy metal of his plated boots steps along the wooden deck.
