"Rocky, Rocky, I want to talk to you" The Shibu silently called out through out the Sewer Walls for the mixed breed to give a sign he was there, but to prevail as he continued to seek him throughout the area. "I understand you are angry, and I want to help you" He said.
As he paced through the different branches of the Sewers, he started to hear what seemed to be echoing bricks being smashed. Now more curious to this sound, The Old Canine was now determined for find the source of these sounds only to find it was Rocky, striking his clenched paws at the Brick Sewer Walls in a way to release his anger.
Even from a Distance, the Shibu was able to hear the Grunt and Growling for Rocky as he continued to vent his wrath onto the in-animate objects he deemed his temporary targets. " You both have a connection to each other, dont you?" He asked.
"Yeah, Yeah we do...He sold me out the Nazis when I trusted him, I swear I'll bust every bone in his body if I see him again" Rocky threatened and promised to himself, even more harm to Zuma when he laid eyes on him a second time. The Shiba look on with worry for the Labrador and the Mixed Breed he was trying to keep on a tight leash.
"I know how you feel Rocky, some one very close to you, someone you trusted to just go behind your back like that"
"Y-You do?"
He nodded as he motioned for the Mixed Breed to follow him. "I had a friend; He was a part of this very community until I made that choice to cast him out" He stated as he indulged Rocky with the opening a story.
Long Ago...
In a Small room, Only what was to be seen was the Old Shibu kneeling down beside his food and getting ready for his usual prayer, until..."You need to go!" The sudden shout from outside his room caused him to break focus from his Lord, causing him to groan for a second before getting back up on his paws and walking out to see what was happening.
"What is the matter with you?" He said as he walked and saw a German Shepherd berating and denouncing the two Chocolate Brown Labradors. Both were the Opposite sex, The Male was in front of the Female trying to defend her and the Female looked like she was on the verge of crying, but one detail was obvious to the female Labrador, she was pregnant. "W-What is going on here?" The Shibu asked.
"Elder, They pose a great threat to us now that they wish to bear their pup, If they do, It will put all of us in danger" The German Shepherd said, who was revealed to be none other than Eli, the one
"Elder, Follower Eli has no over-seeing on how we can and must have offspring, I believe God has bless my Spouse and I with a soon to be beautiful pup" He said in offense to what the German Shepherd has to say.
"Follower Eli, I understand your concerns for not only their safety, but the entire Community's, But life is precious gift the Lord has given to them, If the Father above has given them a pup to soon take care of, that is the Lord's plan" He explained, leaving the German Shepherd in state of disbelief.
"B-But you cannot-"
"When I found you Wandering the Plains of these Icy Lands, I did not leave you, I cared for you. When you had told me of your Sibling's fatal death at the Hands of Bounty Hunter, I did not ignore you, I cared for you. So please, care for them, not by shunning them away, but welcoming this new opportunity for them" The Shibu said.
"And what if this opportunity is a curse in disguise of a blessing?" Eli asked.
"Then we must wait and see" He replied.
"Ughh...Fine then" Eli huffed and turned around to head another way, away from his defeated argument. "You are welcome to stay" The Elder stated to both the later to be Labrador parents, but instead of a smile, they both gave off a worried look before looking at each other with faces of worry.
"Wow...But you and him are both sort of Friends though, right?" Rocky asked to the Elder Shibu. "I wish we were, I havent seen him in years, I only hope that hes okay, and that I can tell him I'm sorry" He replied.
"Wait, Sorry for what, He didnt seem to really do anything bad" Rocky pointed, only for the Shibu to scratch the back of head, signaling that he didnt want to state the reason. " That which I had told you is the main reason for what I did"
"Well, What happened, What did you do?" Rocky asked.
"I-Its s difficult memory to re-live, maybe I'll tell you another time" He stated as both of them rounded a corner into a large room, pitch blackness decorated everywhere. Rocky narrowed down his eyes to try and see through, but to no prevail.
He was sure he was seeing items on the wall, but couldnt make out what they were. "Hold on, Let me get the lights" The Shibu said as he walked over to the side of room and pull a lever. "There we go" He said as the whole room had lit up with an orange glow and illuminated everything inside. Once done, Rocky could clearly see what was on the walls. Rifles, and lots of them. Rifles on the walls, Grenades in small Buckets and Pistols racket on tables for anyone to pick up and put to use.
"This-This is...H-How did you people get all of these weapons?!" Rocky exclaimed as he rushed over and inspected the weapons with his paws. "We had been hoarding them for a long time, One day we will rise above from the Sewers and reclaimed the Christian Land once more, Take up to arms we will, soon" The Old Canine said.
"With this much guns, you can surely over throw the town above us, why not just do it?" Rocky asked as started to inspect a rifle he had just take off from the wall.
"God will give us a signal to attack, until then, we wait" He said.
"I see you like Weapons" He also stated as he saw how Rocky was able to properly treat a Firearm and even take enjoyment in it. "Mhm, I know my ways around a weapon, I used to fix them and make them actually" Rocky stated.
"Thats Great, We have a few weapons around here that might need a little tune up and little cleaning, if you can do that, that would be astounding" The Shibu asked of the Mixed Breed who was happy to offer his service.
"Sounds like something I can do" Rocky said.
In the Darkest Night on the Open Seas, After Marshall, Eli and Skye realized their immediate danger from being the Pacific States from the Yakuza Gang. Now that they had fled, and now, hitching a ride on a small fishing boat. Skye stood against the railings of the medium sized craft, overlooking the dark blue sea.
"Skye?" The Cockapoo heard from behind her but from a distance.
"Marshall, Why are you up so late?" Skye asked.
"I should ask you the same thing, We all need some rest" Marshall stated as he walked over to Skye and stood by her side, also looking over the large body of water in front of them. "Whats on your mind?" Marshall asked with a concerned tone in his voice.
"Why do you asked?"
"You seem very...troubled, like you're just thinking about something" He pointed out before Skye blew out a heavy sigh. "Yeah, Im just thinking about everything thats be happening"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Just Everything, From You and me meeting in Roswell, Me going with the Resistance, You being Captured and all, I've watched people Die in front of me after all, sometimes me pulling the trigger. Its just hard to grasp everything lately" She said before leaning from off the Railing and onto Marshall's fur.
"This...This doesnt feel right Marshall, I feel like this isnt us, Like this isnt the world we're suppose to live in...I-I just, I want to live a normal life" She said finally.
"I know, I do too, I promise after everything is done, We can live peacefully, away from all of this"
"And if you get another Mission to do?"
"Then I'll turn it down" Marshall said as they both hugged each other before both of them perked up as they heard the sound a rusty metal door opening, the hinges on the door squeaked aswell making the sound more iconic and recognizable.
"What are yall doing?" Eli asked.
"Just talking, You?"
"Just got off the Phone with Ulysses, surprised they even have a phone on this boat"
"What did he say?" Marshall asked.
"Said that he was also going to come to Alaska as well, and bring that Husky with him" Eli stated. "Really, They know where we're going?"
"I told him, Considering Lambeth can just Forge disguises for them just like he did you too, They can just take that super train to Alaska, Probably reach there the day after we do"
"Wait wait, Hold on, The Husky Everest, They one we're we suppose to trade in for Marshall?"
"Thats right, Its strange, They were suppose to give her back the day we got back Marshall, but no word came from that guy in the Reich about when he was going to take her back, So I guess they just stuck with her, and I guess also she grey to the whole 'Resistance' thing too" Eli explained.
"Huh, Weird"
"Weird indeed, anyways, We should be arriving in Alaska by tomorrow late evening, then I can tell you two more about about...the place I was talking about" Eli said with a little bit of bitter growl in his voice.
"Eli, I-Is there something you arent really telling us?" Skye asked with a bit of compassion and care for the German Shepherd's seemingly wavy temper.
"Just dont worry about it, I'll see you two in the morning" Eli replied as he walked away, rubbing the scar on his blind eye as if to ease some sort of pain, but there was no physical pain, just emotional that was tearing him down, as he kept thinking about it.
"Hey, Wheres the pup?" Marshall asked, just now realizing the little one's sudden absence. "Oh, I put him to sleep about an hour ago" Skye said. "I guess he like our little one" Marshall playfully said as he nudged the black and white furred Cockapoo.
"Just stay still, Its still kinda dripping" Alevia said still whipping the blood from Zuma's nose and neck, the result from Rocky's sudden attack to him. "Thanks fow the help, You'we a lot nicew than the othews that have talked to me" Zuma uttered as he laid his head back against the brick wall, trying to relax himself as best as you could.
"No Problem" She replied.
"Alevia" She heard from behind her, causing her to jump a little and tilt her head back to see who it was only to be reveal as her elder relative. "Granpda, Did you talk to Rocky?" She asked with concerned in her voice. "Yes, He's cooling off and I gave him to job to do to help him take his mind of it this, How is this one doing?" The Shibu asked as he stepped forward and looked closer at the Chocolate Labrador.
"He's healing alright, I whipped off most the blood, so he should be fine" She replied. As the Shibu inspected the Chocolate Labrador further, he seemed to be quite stunned, almost as if he had seen a ghost.
"Its you..." He Whispered after taking of the Blindfold from Zuma's eyes.
"H-Huh?" Zuma replied with confusion.
"Its you...you're the one who was lost, and now you are found" He said as he brushed his paw down the Labrador's head with a broad smile. "I-I dont understand, I dont know you and I've never been here before, your followers killed my friends too"
"No my child, We are your Friends, We are your Family. We've always been" The Old Shibu stated before being spat in the face by Zuma. Alevia gasped at the sudden spike in disrespect, but the Old Canine didnt react in anger or a raise in tone, just wipe the saliva off his muzzle. "Its alright, you're confused about everything". He stated as he turned back to his granddaughter.
"Alevia, Bring us some water and food, I have quite a big story to tell" He said.
