Volt Krueger continued to sweat as he pounded relentlessly on the punching bag. He had been at the gym for hours. After the fiasco with Dauragon and the Mikado Corporation he realized he needed to be in even better physical and mental shape. He had also been practicing drills to improve his reflexes.
Looking back on the fight with Dauragon Volt saw how useless he had been in the fight. Volt remembered distinctly how easily Dauragon blocked the Trinity Rush. Volt, even with his most powerful throw, was unable to best Dauragon. Dauragon sidestepped him and then hit him hard in the head with his elbow. Then while Volt staggered from the force of the blow Dauragon brought down his foot on his back. He then was too dizzy to fight, though he did watch Kou land a powerful series of kicks while Sion finished Dauragon with a strong blow using his knuckles.
Volt began hitting the punching bag with even more vigor. Every muscle in his body ached and burned. The lactic acid swept through his muscles that lacked oxygen. Sweat fell to the floor like waterfall. He was breathing so hard each breath was a struggle, it felt as if it may be his last. He began to mix in kicks. The blows left dents in the sand filled bag. Then totally exhausted he let himself slump against the wall his back using the wall to hold himself up. He stared at the ground reliving the fight with Dauragon again and again. His eyes eventually looked up to see a familiar female face.
"What?" he gasped, "Echidna . . . what . . . how long . . have you been . . . standing there?"
"Oh just a second," she replied carelessly, "I didn't want to disturb your training. You seem like a man possessed. The way you were training the rhythm of your fists was incredible."
"What are you here for?" he asked finally catching his breath.
"Well, um . . . I kinda need a . . . job," she said timidly.
"And you want to work at the Fate?" he said incredulously.
"Volt, I could do it. I'm a strong fighter, you know it."
"I don't care, Sion, Kou, they would never let you work there!"
"Volt please I have no where else to go."
"Give me one good reason. You tried to kill us!"
"Please just talk to them. I've turned over a new leaf. I really need a job."
Volt then proceeded to look at her. He saw her curly red hair cascading off her the sides of her face. He did notice her gaudy earrings were gone. He continued to look at her and saw her smooth skin. He looked at her slender, but muscular, arms. He looked at her shapely hips and long legs. However he also noticed her clothing was a bit old and worn looking, still that did not take away from her beauty. After a few minutes he made his decision. "I'm not making any promises, but . . . I'll talk to the guys and the owner."
"Oh thank you so much Volt," Echidna and threw her arms around the sweating Volt but didn't care apparently. He's so well built, she thought.
Volt began to blush and said, "Don't thank me yet Aena."
He loved the way she felt in his arms.
Well that's for now I'll try to add more to it. And I'm aware there was really no action so it may become just romance, but come to think of it there was really no romance to speak of yet so just wait for more to come. Oh and please R/R! And don't rip it to shreds please I have problems with cruel criticism, I can hardly accept constructive criticism.
