Hello all you fans of Xmen and Get Backers. This is Foxfire222 with my first GB fic. This is basically a result of being bored on the last day of school before spring break so I will not take any flames badly but will instead use them to fuel my fan girl heart that throbs for Emishi.
Chapter 1 Garden encounter/Introduction.
5 years ago
Emishi was thrilled today. He had just been accepted to the VOLTZ. He was on his way home to tell Mortimer.
Mortimer had been found in the food storage building 2 years ago. He had been bought from a London orphanage and brought to Japan. He had become the play thing of the Yakuza. He had escaped and run to hide in the Limitless Fortress. Emishi was now his best friend. Soon after finding him he realized that even though Mort was not from a clan or born in the LF he still had powers. He was a mutant.
Mortimer had always seemed so distant for a 13 year old boy. But he never thought what would happen could ever really occur.
Emishi stopped in front of the metal shack that Mortimer liked to hang out in. The door was on the ground twisted into a pretzel. That week, no matter how hard he or anyone else looked, Mortimer could not be found. 5 days later they held a funeral for him presuming him to be dead.
PRESENT TIME: Madoka's Garden, 1:00A.M.
Shido was on his hourly patrol of the yard. He was about to go in when he herd what sounded like a frog the size of a man hopping. He hid and watched as someone appeared atop the garden wall. Then the figure jumped but landed aquardly and hissed in pain. Then its head turned and pointed in the bushed Shido was hiding in and the figure said. "Who's there?"
Shido pounced now that the element of surprise was gone. He tackled the figure and they rolled into the moonlight. Shido froze. This face, it looked so much like, no, he was dead.
Then the figure said quietly, "Shido…take…cough…to Emishi." Then he fainted.
Emishi was spending the weekend with Shido and Midoka. He was sound asleep but snapped up when Shido banged his door down.
"What is it Shido?"
Shido's face was the picture of shock and panic as he said, "Emishi, follow me. Mortimer came back, but he's hurt, out in the garden." Shido ran out followed by Emishi.
"Could it really be true? Is he really alive?" Emishi wondered.
(For reference Mort snuck aboard a ship when he landed in the Hudson and it took him to Japan)
Emishi sat next to a hospital bed. Midoka had paid for a private room and secrecy as to the person in it being a mutant. Emishi had been shocked to find out Mortimer's condition. He had a broken ankle, a dislocated shoulder; one of his arms was broken in 5 places, and electrical burns on 70 of his body including his tongue. The doctor said all the wounds were very old and most were infected with mistreatment. Emishi, when he had herd all this, swore that if he ever met the people who did this to him he would laugh at their spraying blood.
Emishi looked up as a hand touched his shoulder. It was Ginji and Bon. Ginji looked serious and worried and his voice shook and he asked, "Is he going to be ok?"
"Ya, the doc say he just needs a few days because he's healing really fast." Emishi reached out and took Mort's hand for comfort as he whimpered in his dreams. Slowly tears fell from beneath Emishi's sunglasses as he said, "I'm just so glad he's back. I just want him to wake up."
For those who have not figured it out yet let me clear this up. Toad's real name is Mortimer Toynbee. Please review and be gentle.
