《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 21
Advertisement
Over the next couple of days the heroes were doing surveillance on the Triad so that they could find a way to end the group because of what they were trying to do with the Alpha/Omega virus. They had been able to find a way to get a schedule on the Triad which was a good thing, because they knew where the Triad's meeting areas would be during each time of the day.
"We have been here for three days. I think we know what they are going to do now." Stephen said.
"Yeah. For an international crime organization they sure are lax when it comes to altering their schedule and stuff like that." Grant said.
"So, what is the plan?" KC asked.
"From what we have been hearing from the Triad that we have been following, they are going to have one part of the virus tonight and will be trying to sell it tomorrow night." Melissa said.
"So, we need to wait for the sale to happen and then we will take down everyone there. After we do that, we go after the leadership of the Triad. If we wipe them out, they will either fold or it will take a while for them to form any kind of leadership being that all of their current leadership will be gone." Stephen said.
"Sounds good to me. I guess that means we just need to track them again until we go after them tomorrow night?" Caity asked.
"Yeah that is the plan for now, unless something changes in the meantime." Stephen said as the team continued to look like tourists while they were actually keeping an eye on their targets.
. . .
Later that night when the team was back at their hotel, they all met in Arrow and Black Canary's room. They were now going to go over what they had found out during the day.

"The Triad has part of the virus. We don't know where the other half is. We just need to assume that they do. We will follow them tomorrow and see what else we can find out, then we attack when the sale is taking place." Arrow said.
"That makes sense. It might help us find the second half. We are going to destroy that stuff once we get our hands on it right?" Black Canary asked.
"We can't let Ra's get his hands on the virus, so yes, I think we should destroy it. We can't let it ever get into the wrong hands." Arrow said and the rest of the team nodded in agreement.
"What about the corrupt General and ARGUS director? We need to do something about them as well." White Canary said.
"One step at a time. We deal with the Triad and their part of the virus first, then we go after the General and the director. I have a feeling that we are not just going to be in Hong Kong anymore. I would think that we might have to go somewhere else to find the second half of the virus. I have a feeling that they will either be at that sale or they will be close by." Arrow said.
"That does make sense. What if we find out that tomorrow night is not the right time to stop the Triad completely?" Flash asked.
"Like I said before, we go with our plan for right now. If that doesn't work out we will come up with a contingency plan." Arrow said and the rest of the team nodded in agreement knowing that they would at least stop the sell, but they might have to let the Triad get away in order to find the second half of the virus.

. . .
The next day the team was still tracking the Triad to see if they could find out anything new about the sale that was going to happen tonight. Once they thought that they had all of the information that they needed, it was only an hour to go before the sale. The team met up at the hotel and changed into their assassin clothes and went over the plan one last time.
"Today we found out that the Triad knows where the second half of the virus is. We are going to have to let them go free for now. We need to know where that second half of the virus is." Arrow said.
"Understood. We do take down everyone else right?" Artemis asked.
"Yes. Even take down some of the Triad to make it look like we were at least trying to stop them." Arrow said.
"That is a good plan. We might be letting them go, but they know that we can stop them easily by showing them what we can do tonight." Athena said.
"That is the plan. Do we know where we are going to be going when we leave here for the second part of the virus?" Arrow asked.
"Yes. I was quite surprised when I heard what China White had to say. Looks like we will be headed home." Supergirl said.
"They are going to Starling City?" Black Canary asked, surprised at hearing that they would be going home.
"Yes, that is what I heard them say today. The only bad thing is that we can't stay. We still have much to learn from the League of Assassins." Supergirl said.
"I know. It probably wouldn't hurt if we checked in on our families to make sure they are ok. Without them knowing that we are there of course." Black Canary said and the rest of the heroes had to agree with that.
"We will have time to do that while we are there, but we are on a mission. We can't let that fall by the wayside because we are too busy spying on our families." Arrow said.
"You are right. So, let's go and get ready for the night. We need to at least make this look good." Flash said as they all left the hotel from the roof and traveled the roofs of buildings until they got to where the sale was taking place and then they watched as they got ready to take down the buyers and some of the Triad, which they ended up doing without much trouble.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
