Saving Faith
Chapter 2

Shade kept an eye on the news paper for the next couple days. He and the Fang had followed he new combat training that Howl had showed them and they they had each adapted it to what they already knew. THe news of Jack's death had swept the city then past but, Shade was not going to let this one go.

"Sab?" Shade called from the side of the arena. "Come here please."

Thankful that he was aloud to skip some training, Sabitoge walked over to where shade was standing. "What's up?"

"I need you and Recon to patrol tonight."

"What?" Sab threw his arms in the air. "You're still on this. He's dead! Let it go."

Shade just stood there with his hands behind his back. "Are you disobeying an order?"

Sab was puzzled. "But...you never said..."

"That's an order, Sab. You and Recon will patrol the city the tonight."

Sab stood dumbfounded that he had just walked into that. Decideding not to argue the matter further he gave up with a sigh and whent to inform Recon of the night plans.

Around eight, Sab and Recon left the base on a pair of the Fang cycles as they had come to be known. Two kawisaki ninjas, one white (Sab) the other yellow (Recon). Recon's com channle crackled to life.

"Okay, rookie. I'll take Elm and the rest of the city east of there. You take main and go west." Sab still hadn't figured out that he really didn't out rank him but, it was fun to let him think so.

"Yeah, Sab. I got it." Recon turned down a side street and headed tword Main street.

Some time later, Recon opened his com chaannle to speak. "See anything ?"

"No. Not yet...wait...what was that?" Sab trailed off then came back in a frantic voice. His engine roared int the background. "Its on its way toward you!"

Recon was facing south, assuming Sab was still east of him, he looked to his left. There running along the rooftops with speed only compairable to Mirage's was an indestinguisable form. It looked human but at thaat speed, Recon could tell.

"After it!" Recon reved theengine and sped off after the form. For about thirteen blocks, Sab joning him after seven, they followed the blur before losing it.

"Where'd it go?" Sab scanned the roofs above.

"Lets check the allyways." Recon turned down the first ally he sawthen skidded to a stop before he ran over the legs of a man laying in grime. "Hey buddy, you alright?" Recon removed his helmet and dismounted his bike. a light flickered over head and the man was cast in an orange light. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper ans blood drenched his white tee. As Recon stummbled backward he was writing on the was in what he could only assume was blood.

"SHADE...I'M BACK"

Recon remounted his cycle and opened his com channel. "Sab? We need to tell Shade about this."

Okay, I hope I'm making this a bit more interesting for everyone. Who is after Shade and the Fang? What has Shade not told about his past? All of this will be answered in the following chapters. I'll have them up shortly (I promise this time.) R&R
