67 A Dark Truth *

They flew on the Griffin for a bit, Lachlan used his strong perception to try and see something, using the sense of smell always sucks, you're always blasted by a putrid stench of rotting beast corpses. However, Lachlan couldn't see anything, so he just had the deal with it.

Lachlan managed to get a scent quickly, there was something slightly wrong with it as it seemed he could smell human blood as well. But considering this is the wild, it isn't surprising that they would be hurt.

Locking on the target he got Temp to make his way over. Then they descended, slightly slower because they didn't want to scare the children away.

Landing on the ground Lachlan quickly saw two children by a tree, leaning on it hurt. There was a wound by their shoulders, that seemed to be caused by something small.

He called them over.

They did hesitate, but after seeing the other children they came running.

They were weak from what Lachlan could see, not to mention that now they're injured, and it looks like it did quite a bit of damage. From what Lachlan's seen, more hybrids have 20 VIT, they have 10 which means they're barely dealing with it.

Lachlan gestured for them to come to him, which they did, they came running over crying. Once they made it Lachlan brought out some VIT berries, healing them up. Although not fully, still a better condition then what they were in previously.

"Hey there, do you know where the others are?" Lachlan asked in a childish voice, hoping to sound friendlier.

They pointed to the side, where there was a cave entrance. It wasn't too bit, just high enough to fit an adult inside.

Walking through it Lachlan realised the ceiling got higher and higher, Chloe and Flynn could walk without issue now.

They walked for only 1-minute max before they entire a large cavern. Lachlan could just make out some bodies outline by the edge of it. He could smell blood and got worried that a child was injured.

"Analyse"

There was nothing.

'That's strange'

"Someone get out a flashlight," Lachlan said, he was beginning to have a bad feeling in his stomach. The kind that you get when something really bad happens.

Chloe brought out her phone and turned on the flash, it was fairly bright, bright enough to see anyway.

But they probably didn't want to see what was in the cave, they wished this wasn't what was happening anywhere else.

A large pile of children corpses were in the cave, stacked fairly high and spread relatively wide. They had bullet wounds in the head, which now made sense as to why Faith and Danial had wounds on their shoulder. They managed to escape, but in the process were shot at. Fortunately, the bullets didn't hit anywhere else.

Lachlan really felt rage this time, but not just Lachlan, Dylan, Chloe, and Flynn all felt the same. Their faces were going slightly red, veins were popping out of their skin and their muscles were tensed. The children were getting slightly scared.

"Chloe and Dylan, you take protect everything here, I'm going to go have a little chat with someone," Lachlan said, his voice itself emitted a killing intent.

"Go," The others could feel Lachlan's rage, and they definitely felt the same. But Lachlan is able to do what he's about to do easier if he didn't have the children to worry about.

Lachlan disappeared from the cave and was outside in milliseconds.

"Come Calamity!" He shouted.

A Roc appeared, and he jumped on, before getting it to shoot up and fly towards the base. Not slow either, using its lightning speed they appeared there instantly.

A strong pressure enveloped the entire base, everyone in the vicinity felt it, the bloodlust and the strength behind it.

"James!" Lachlan shouted, his voice echoing through the base, it was so loud it hurt people's ears.

In the main area, James was already getting prepared to fight the moment he felt the pressure but was shocked when he heard it.

"James!" The voice sounded familiar to him, then he remembered it was Lachlan's voice.

'What's caused him to be so angry'

Walking out of the building he was greeted with a threatening glare.

"Who's the leader of this base?" Lachlan asked, or more like demanded.

"I'm the leader, boy don't act cocky just because you're strong, this is a military base filled with strong soldiers not to mention the fact that now the World's Navy is here!" A slightly chubby man walked out of the crowd berating Lachlan.

What the man just said didn't matter to Lachlan, he'll get his way no matter what.

"What!" Some people shouted, the others couldn't even react in time.

Lachlan was already in front of the crowd, holding the man's neck in his grasps forcing him to lean over.

"Hey Lachlan, we can talk this out," James said, coming over and trying to pull Lachlan arm.

"Ah!" James shouted.

Lachlan had punched him, causing him to crash into the building. Lachlan held back slightly because he hoped James didn't know about what was happening.

"Tell me, why are you killing children?" Lachlan asked, his bloodlust kept the soldiers at bay, their legs were almost frozen due to fear.

"Children, those weren't children they were beasts," The man hurriedly said. But that wasn't the answer Lachlan was looking for.

He tightened his grip, now the man was struggling to breathe.

"Why!?" Lachlan shouted.

"Kill them while they aren't a threat, create a safer future for humanity," The man said.

"You could create an even safer future by training them, accepting them, but no, you just had to create a hatred between the same damn race!" Lachlan was annoyed, although he could see why they were scared, talking about a safer future was stupid when they just made more enemies, ones that would grow to become a massive threat.

"I don't see them as human!" The man shouted.

"Then I don't believe you're needed"

*Crack*

Lachlan snapped the man's neck; his body went limp. Letting go the body just flopped onto the ground.
