Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Measure of Soul. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DITF, Code:000, Cloverworks, Trigger and a few others do.

(Rebel Cavern.)

"How am I supposed to sabotage the negotiations if you are driven off by a few loyalist soldiers?" The masked figure asked the rows of rebel soldiers as one spoke up.

"Omega, we're sorry, sir… But we're fighting wolves, we don't have the firepower to just kill them all… We need more information." One of the rebels stated before the monitor shut off and the rows of rebels sighed.

Their leader had just spoken and if the diplomatic party found out he was among them? They'd have lost this war already before it got a chance to tip in their favor.

(Hotel, Surface.)

Rex chuckled and leaned back in his seat.

"Ok, now your just being ridiculous, there is no way you managed to steal all that candy from that store." Rex said while Zero continued to gobble up the candy while Rex turned to look at the other wolves.

"Are we going to end up moving out soon?" Rex heard from Kaiser and sighed.

"Yes, we are going to leave soon. We can't stay here; we need to go to the central force for the diplomatic party to work up here. You know how this works, its like all of work." Rex stated before Zero stopped eating.

"Yes, because talking is the same as shooting and killing." Zero stated as Rex turned back to her.

"Hey, if we weren't paid, you wouldn't have gotten that candy and we'd be in a jail cell from what I've heard. I don't think that helps us make peace with the humans in order for us to get an edge on the rebels." Rex stated before he got up and looked at the other wolves.

"If we're all done here, I think we might want to go within the next hour." Rex stated before he turned to Zero.

"You make sure the money we have doesn't run out, it isn't like we're funded on human money, we're going through a lot of things here… Money isn't really one of those things I'd like to go through." Rex joked as Zero blew a raspberry at him.

Rex rolled his eyes and smiled before he got to his feet and he hummed and looked around for a moment before he started walking outside the café in the hotel.

Rex rubbed at his eyes; he still wasn't used to the sunlight around him. He had spent so long underground; sunlight was both a gift and a curse to him.

"Rex, how is your mission going so far?" Rex heard from his communicator on his hip as he grabbed it.

"Things are going slowly up here." Rex stated before he cleared his throat and began to speak more clearly.

"We've been ambushed at the first meeting, some of us think we have a leak. They knew just when to hit us and hit us with everything we have." Rex stated before the Princess started to speak up.

"Well, I didn't imagine things are going to be perfect, but their good from what I've heard so far. We've not heard much from the rebels; they've pulled back from the rest of their outer bases." The Princess stated before Rex sighed.

"That doesn't at all sound like rebel tactics, their up to something. You don't think their planning to come to the surface in number, do you? We might not have the numbers in our group, but to risk open war with the Humans? They'd shred themselves like fruit in a blender." Rex said and turned to look at Zero.

"I've found Oni up here." Rex stated, the princess was silent a moment before she started to speak up again.

"Well, if she knows more about the humans, then I'm glad she's there. We're dealing with a lot of things down here. My scientists are digging for more Magma Energy, but it's scarce, we're send reinforcements up when we can. You have your mission, captain. I'm counting on you to get it done and get home, this is the last mission I ask of you… Then we can go home, and we're be free with your help." Rex heard from the princess and he sighed.

"We're get things done, your majesty. I just want to end this by saying that we're not miracle workers, we can't move the sky and the stars… And I don't think any of us wolves want to try it." Rex stated before he hummed and clicked off the communicator and turned to walk away,

He cracked his neck and he sighed.

"We're going to have some more work to do until we go down back to home." Rex muttered before he turned to look around one last time.

He had a lot more work to do before the week was done, and yet he didn't know if he or Zero were truly ready for that.

He blinked.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Rex is going to deal with the traitors and the rebels, I don't know if the villains for the series will be in it. Next chapter will be on next Sunday or so and will show Rex and Zero traveling towards the capital. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
