Been a long time guys. Glad to finally be back. Here's a short chapter to get things restarted hope you enjoy.
Fall of a Hero, Rise of a Legend
Chapter 47
"Again." Mindy stated firmly.
Dave nodded and charged at her. Both fought swiftly with hand to hand combat, each one delivering lightning fast strikes to the other. While Mindy stayed nimble and swift, Dave took the hits, and waited for the proper moment to strike.
The two had been at it for hours, fighting and training like never before. Everyone on base could feel it in their bones… something big was about to happen.
The OoC had been quiet for several weeks and JF had been busy training and improving their facilities, and abilities. Everything was slowly building up to something, the only question was, what?
Mindy, in a burst of speed, delivered a solid kick to Dave's chest sending him falling onto his back.
Dave coughed a few times and rose back to his feet. It took him a moment to finally regain his breath but when he did, he locked eyes with his gorgeous girlfriend.
"Again." Mindy ordered. With a nod, Dave obliged and charged back at her, once again, the fight was on.
-Meanwhile-
"Again!" Cain ordered harshly.
"Yes, Sir." Came a tired voice, from a young man whom was rising to his feet. He was currently surrounded on all sides by four legionnaires, each once armed with wooden swords.
At their lords command, the four men attacked and the young man was forced to backpedal as he blocked strikes and dodged hits. He was improving. Steadily as each day went by he was getting better. The young man worked hard, because he needed to prove something. And… their was something he wanted to gain.
Revenge was a powerful motivator, and for Chris D'Amico… it was everything. So he fought, he took the hits, every single day… he wasn't going to let the people who murdered his father with a fucking bazooka, get away with it any longer. When he fought Dave, and his slut of a whore, girlfriend, he'd finally made them pay.
-Elsewhere-
"Cain's building to something." Spoke a firm and commanding voice.
"I know." Was Agent Harper's reply.
"Very soon, he'll launch a massive attack… do you think JF is ready for it?" The Firm voice replied.
"They are. I know they are." Harper answered.
"Keep an eye on you unit, agent Harper. If this works out… The Nightmare, and this war may finally be finished." The Firm voice ordered.
"Yes, sir." Harper stated.
-Back at JF headquarters, a few hours later-
Mindy and Dave sat back to back, both resting from a long day of training.
"You feel it too, right?" Mindy asked after a moment of silence.
"Yeah… something… I don't know what… but something is definitely going to happen soon." Dave answered with a tired sigh.
"Cain's probably zeroing in on our headquarters. I wouldn't be surprised if he intends to take the fight to us." Mindy stated.
"You're probably right. We need to be ready. I can't see this war lasting much longer. We've killed so many criminals and legionnaires. They can't have many more. They can't keep this fight up. If it weren't for me and that crazy fuck's belief in dragon's he probably would have left by now." Dave said with another more exhausted sigh.
"Don't do that to yourself. Cain will come. When he does, we'll kick his ass. They we'll bury his body out in the mill yards, and that will be that. Without Cain to unite them, his band of evil assholes will splinter and fall to pieces. Some will probably run, leave New York… the ones that stay… well… we'll hunt them down, and kill them." Mindy told him.
"Always the girl with the plan." Dave mused with a smile.
"Yeah well… if I don't think up a plan for the future, then nothing is ever going to get done." Mindy replied with a shrug.
A few moments of silence passed by, before Dave smiled and decided to talk about something more productive. "So… any ideas on a wedding destination?"
"Fuck if I know. I've never really been anywhere, outside of New York. Hell I've barely left the city, let alone the fucking state." Mindy replied.
"Wait… you've never been out of state before?" Dave inquired.
"Nope." Was Mindy's reply.
"Wow… I'll have to take you to all the cool places my dad and I use to go when I was little. He took me up north a few times to go fishing, we went hiking in the Canadian wilderness, one time. Hell we even went rafting once… I'm sure you'd like that." Dave told her.
"You what… sure. I think once this fights over, I could use a vacation. Hell even superheroes need those right?" Mindy replied as she got up circled around him and sat on his lap, while draping her arms over his shoulders.
Now face to face with his lover, Dave could only grin as he locked eyes with her.
"Fights going to be over soon… I know it. Let's just try to make sure we're both still standing when the dust settles." Dave told her.
"Yeah, ditto. I don't want any dumb heroic self sacrificing shit from you. If need be, I'll just blow the building Cain chooses for the epic duel, straight to hell." Mindy told him with an amused chuckle.
"Smart. Seriously though, if it comes to that, just buy me a new jetpack and I'll off him like I did Frank." Dave stated.
"Classic." Mindy nodded with approval. She quickly brought Dave's lips to her own and the two shared a deep, passionate kiss. As the worries of the day began to slip away, the two could only ponder as to what their lives would be like now that the storm was beginning to fade.
Still… they needed to weather the rest of it though, and as we all know, the tail end of the story is usually the worse.
