Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 239

"Well, ah, ah, the situation is that this person crashed his sports car in another car. The second car crashed because of that, and the innocent people inside it died," the Police Chief gave an explanation after realizing the position of the people that were standing before him
"When we arrived, this man was also threatening a person and trying to kill him. You can see it for yourself! He still hasn't released the man. It's our duty to arrest all of them and then investigate. He's also resisting arrest and threatening to kill the person if we moved," the Police Chief continued as he kept shifting the blame to Ryder.
"Alright. If that's the truth, then you do deserve to arrest him, but I doubt that. You said that the car ahead was filled with innocent civilians that died because of this man's reckless driving, right?" Major General Gaira inquired as he looked at the man before him.
"Ah, right. That's what happened," the police chief nodded his head as he gave an affirmation.
"Good. And that should be the car is the innocent civilians that crashed. Then please explain to me why I see two guns near the car that crashed?" Major General Gaira inquired as he pointed towards the BWM.
The Police Chief hadn't noticed it before, but the Major General was more observant. Near the BWM, a few guns were lying on the ground, along with the dead bodies of the people that were inside it.
"I don't trust his story, either. I see many mistakes and irregularities in his story," Another Major General chimed in as he refused to believe the story of the police chief.
He took a step forward and walked closer to the police chief.
As he walked, his shoes tapped on the ground, making a clearly audible noise in this silent atmosphere that had turned serious after their arrival.
Major General Dreyson stood right before the Police Chief as he looked in his eyes.
"Tell me, is what you said really the truth?" Major General Dreyson inquired as he looked at the Police Chief. He knew that the Police Chief was hiding something.
"Ah, Of Course, it is the truth as far as I know from the preliminary assumption. I'll have to investigate more later on after arresting them," The Police Chief replied. He gathered his courage since he knew that the best way to handle this was to arrest Ryder at all costs since it came to this. He was determined in what he wanted to do, "Also, you can't intimidate me with your rank. I respect the airforce, but it's my duty to bring justice to the criminals and to keep the public safe. As you said, this is a matter that is under my jurisdiction. Please don't interfere with it."

" Oh, really? I guess you are going to stick to your statement. Now that we got your side of the story, let us hear the other side of the story as well," Major General Andre let out as he stopped looking at the police chief and turned his sharp eyes in the direction of Ryder
"You tell us, Young Man. What exactly happened," Major General Andre asked Ryder.
A few people kidnapped my sister from my house for some reason. I chased after them in my car. They kept shooting at my car, and in order to stay safe, I had to take some measures. Unfortunately, my car lost control and crashed in their vehicle. Fortunately, my sister was able to jump out in time," Ryder took a glance at the Police Chief before he started explaining.
"You can check my car, or whatever left of it at least and you will find the marks of the bullets that will definitely match the bullets on those guns, and you will find the fingerprints of those guys that died. I'm completely innocent, and I'm being falsely accused by the Police Department because I dared to voice against them. They're blaming me all because I sued them for violating my sister's rights and damaging her reputation by arresting her on false accusations. It's funny how they arrested her wrongly and now to protect themselves from this, they're trying to arrest me on false claims," Ryder said as he stared at the Police Chief.
A frown appeared on the face of all Major Generals as they heard this explanation.
" So you're using your position for revenge? Shame on you! How dare you say you work for Justice when you do this? Let me talk to my friends. I'll have to report you! I'll make sure you're not capable of doing something like this again," Major General Gaira let out as he glared at the Police Chief.
" This, this, this is a misunderstanding! We aren't doing anything for revenge. We based our assumption on what we saw, and without investigating, we can't believe his stories. That's why I wanted to arrest them all. I wasn't going to place any charges on him before our investigation was completed," The Police Chief let out as he waved his hand repeatedly with a nervous look on his face.

"Oh, really? So it's not because of a vendetta against me? Let me tell you something then. The reason I'm holding this man is because I was asking him about the person that sent him to kidnap me. He did tell me the name of that person already, but I'm sure he won't repeat it again since his savior is already here. Let me try again, though," Ryder asked as he smiled.
"Why don't you tell me again? Who was the one that sent you here?" Ryder asked again as he tightened his grip on the neck of the man.
"You! Stop that! Free that man instantly! It's our responsibility to protect the man until the investigations are completed! I'm telling you that I will shoot if you don't stop!" The Police Chief warned Ryder as he pointed his gun at him.
"Looks like the savior is even more eager to signal the man that they will save him," Ryder laughed as he shook his head.
"Whatever, I don't want you to be punished. That would be boring," Ryder smiled as he threw the man towards the Police Chief and stood tall.
The Cops helped the man up and cuffed him.
"Arrest him as well," The Police Chief let out as he directed his men to arrest Ryder as well.
While the Police Chief was focusing on Ryder, Major General Gaira was talking to someone over the phone.
Right when the Police Chief was directing his men to arrest Ryder, Major General Gaira walked closer to the Police Chief.
"Since it's not my jurisdiction here, I called someone that might have a weight here. Here, for you," He gave the Police Chief a phone.
The Police Chief frowned, wondering who the person on the call was.
He took the phone and looked at the caller id.
' Little Brown? Who could he be?' The Police Chief wondered as he looked at the name on the phone.
He placed the phone near his phone.
"Hello?" The Police Chief said as he wondered who the person on the other side of the connection was? Just who was Little Brown that the Major General called.
"You Idiot! What do you think you're doing? You're misusing your power to arrest an innocent man that was just saving his family instead of the criminals? Do you have any idea the people you're messing with? The Major General would never call me if it were not a serious matter. Handle it properly otherwise be ready to be fired," the person on the other side said.
"M-mayor Brown?" the Police Chief exclaimed as his face turned pale.
'W-w-what is happening here! How is it that they got the Mayor involved?!' The police chief couldn't help but wonder as he looked at Ryder with an impossible look on his face.
" Yes, it's me! Do the right thing now. Also, give the phone back to the Major General!"
The Police Chief gave the phone back to Major General Gaira.
"Stop! Don't arrest him!" He told the officer that he was sent to arrest Ryder. "Take the bodies out of the car and wait for paramedics."
Ryder smirked as he understood that he wasn't going to be arrested today. All because of Shu.
As the cops freed Alice and moved aside, she ran up to Ryder and took him in his arms as she hugged him before everyone else.
"I told you, I'm going to be fine," Ryder said as he patted her back.
"I'm so glad. I'm so glad that you are safe," Alice let out. Her voice seemed like it was breaking as if she was controlling herself from crying.
"I'm never going anywhere. As I said before, no one can harm me. They won't take me anywhere," Ryder replied. "The only people that are going somewhere will be the ones that messed with my family."

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.
