Confession time: I loved the blockbuster part 1 quest line so... Yea this chapter will happen after that quest line. So that "destroy the comet" thing wont go through.
It had been a... stressful week to say the least. Spitfire was down under with some sort of illness, Ray was missing and Lok was acting like a child, made sense though as he was only 7. This made the Commander question Pops age and Rays age. He couldn't let his mind wonder though as he needed to hep the Doc find a cure for Spitfire.
There was more complications though, Banshee was stable and healing but Ramirez wouldn't leave her side. The only other hero he could use was Jess and she was mainly used for resource collecting, not combat. He wondered if he could go out but the smasher encounter last week really did a number on him.
His train of though was interrupted by the survivor that helped him after his fight with the smasher. He had black hair and brown eyes, fairly slim and looked around 20 years old. "Hey Commander. Things not looking good?" The commander shook his head. "That arm healing alright?" He nodded. "Good. Good. I haven't introduced myself haven't I?" The commander shook his head again. "Call me Adrian, Adrian Reyes." The commander mustered the will to speak. "...Just call me Commander." Adrian's eyes widened. "How old are you? 19?" The commander shook his head "...21..."
Adrian shrugged. "Well, I have seen a glimpse of your sword skills, can I see them in full view?" The commander shrugged. A singular and rather odd request but why the hell not. He got up and lead Adrian to the Training room, it was full of training dummies today, leftovers from a training session earlier. The Commander grabbed his neon sword form a table and practiced twirling it around his hand. "...While you study the art of gun fighting." The commander turned around and slashed a dummies head clean off its body, "I studied the blade."
Adrian chuckled a bit. "Well one gun might get the job done well enough..." He then draws a quickfire pistol from his belt and holds it in his right hand. He fires and strikes 5 targets, he smiles. "..Two is way more fun." He then draws another quickfire pistol and holds it with his left hand. Striking 13 targets. The commander looked at him and raised a eyebrow. "...A duelist?" Adrian smirks. "Hell yea." The commander laughs but is interrupted by Pop. Pop was beeping with urgency and the Commander knew something was wrong, Adrian looks at him "See ya later then Commander." The commander gave a thumbs up ad dashed to the Command center.
This is filler until the next quest line comes out and Ray is back. begone voice Lok, Ray is bae Reviews are appreciated.
