Okay, chapter five. As a recap, the Fang just found out about Faith and Shade after she was killed. Now Shade is going to ask his friends, his brothers, to help avenge her death by eliminating Fear. I'd like to add that, from an authors point of view, feed back from readers is always approved good or bad. So I ask all my readers to read and review. Thank you.

Saving Faith
Chapter 5

"So let me get this straight," Sab leaned forward on the dinning room table, "You and Mirage put this guy away years ago and now he..."

"He's back to take revenge by taking whats most important to you because you took what from him?" Howl was still a little confused on the details. Before Shade could tell him the story, tires squeeled outside the base. "What the hell?" Howl looked out the door then jumped back. "Oh shit!"

The wall that Howl had just been leaning on explouded with an earth shattering ka-boom. "SHADE!" came an oh so familar voice throught the dust, "WHERE IS SHE?"

Shade stood from the ground. "I don't have her, Ocean." Shade couldn't have seen Kitsueki coming throught the dust cloud. There was a sickening crack as a heavy combat boot met with Shade's jaw and he was kicked across the room and into the opposite wall.

"Lies!" She screamed. "I saw you standing over her!" Shade set his jaw back in place and stood up, blood trickling from a cut in his cheek. "Thats because he wanted you to see that."

Another kick to the body this time, Shade swore he heard ribs crack. Damn she was quick. Ocean walked over to where Shade crouched in pain and grabbed him by the neck and held him to the wall. "I don't care who wanted her to see whatever. Faith better come back to the base if she is alive. Because, Chaos Shadow, I swear to you if she doesnt come back you will pay." Ocean released him and turned to walk away.

"She...she's with him." Shade wheezed. "He has her."

The whole base went still. The members of both groups in total confusion. As Ocean turned back to Shade, something clicked in Mirage's thoughts.

"Wait...Shade why were you even in the Eclipse base?" As he said this, the same thought dawned on everyone in the room. "...YOU HAVE BEEN DATING THIS CHICK?" Mirage was furious. Shade expected no less. "How long have you been betraying us?"

This was a little much, but he had a point. "Two months." Shade calmly stated. "We knew neither of the groups would approve so thats why we kept it hidden."

"Yeah, now it's probly got her killed you dumbass." Hotaru called from the gaping hole in the base wall.

"You think I don't know this?" Shade roared, "You think I'm not going to do what it takes to get her back? Or at least die trying?"

Ocean made a motion to speak but Shade cut her off. "Don't say it. You want to go after him yourself. I can tell you right now he would tear through you before you would even know what to do."

"How can you be sure?" Ocean spoke not in a harsh tone but one of true questioning. "How do you know he would beat us?"

"I'm sure you girls have dealt with the worst of the worst but he's different. Fear plays head games. He uses what you fear most and turns it into a weapon. Mirage and I have both seen what this freak has done to people. Its not pretty."

Ocean stepped back. After a moment of thought, she spoke. "If you feel like you can handle this better, and since you do have more expeirence with this, I have to back down."

The rest of the Eclipse shouted out in protest. "What are you doing?"

"That's Faith and you're trusting him?"

Ocean turned to them, "I don't trust him anymore then you do, but he does have more information on this "Fear" then any of us. I think he can be trusted enough to bring he back safely. My warning still stands thought." She turned back, not to Shade but to the rest of the Fang. "If she does not come back, you all will pay." With that, The Eclipse filed out of the base.

Shade turned to his team. "Well, I don't expect any of you to follow me this time. I did lie to you all but I just want to..."

Sab cut him off. "Shut the fuck up and lets go." Grabbing his pack off the floor and walking toward the door.

Shade was dumbfounded that, even after lying to them and fratinizing with a rival group member they would still have his back.

"Well, here is he hiding?" Recon asked.

Shade started the engine of his cycle and said, "My guess would be the mourge."

Mirage's voice cam over the com channel in the helmets. "Oh goodie. I get to play with dead things." Shade saw him clapping in moch happiness.

Engines roared to life and one by one, The Fang road off into the night.

So, I know I have neglected my stories for quiet a while but with school starting next week, I have been busy but after it does I hope I can post more. Im going to be near a computer most of the time so please hang in there.
