Author's Note: Hey guys, here's the chapter and I hope you like it! See you in the next chapter, bye!
Previously: "Shut up," she replied before walking away, wondering what would happen to Shade now.
Shade winced as a large file was slammed onto the table in front of him as Eggsy shouted, "How could have this had happened?!"
"Well, my-" Shade started but was cut off by Eggsy, "Don't! Just... listen. I knew your father very well and I knew he had his secrets but this can not be tolerated!"
"Well, sir, a Hybrid does have assets that we don't. Most can pass by unseen by most people and can reach places that we cannot also," Merlin replied, scratching his pen against his clipboard as pictures of Hybrids appeared on the screen in the meeting room.
Shade fumbled slightly before putting the glasses on his face, "Wow..."
"You see here? This Hybrid flew over the gates that other humans could not even touch and this Hybrid swam under water to drown a bomb that would've taken out a whole city block if someone else didn't at least try to diffuse it," Merlin said, bringing up many different pictures.
Eggsy huffed and started to pace, "I realize that but what about the rest of the Knights?"
"Everyone in favor for a Hybrid say 'Aye,'" Merlin said to the rest of the Knights as everyone said 'Aye'.
Eggsy sighed as he sat back down, "Alright, the 'Aye's have it, Shade can continue his training."
Shade grinned and whooped as he fist bumped the air, "Yea!"
Merlin chuckled, "Alright, let's bring you back to Aidos, I'm sure he's tearing the dorm room apart looking for you."
Shade cringed as he got up, "Yea... He tends to do that, thank you Arthur!"
Eggsy smiled softly at him as he left and sighed as he was gone, "Alright, now, did you all only say yes because of Wyatt Marth?"
"Of course Sir, only a Hybrid can defeat a Hybrid," the hologram of Tristan stated in reply as he looked around the table.
"But are you so sure? What if he joins him?" Kay asked in concern.
"That won't happen, we just need someone to fill in Percival's spot and then we can all defeat Wyatt before he destroys us," Eggsy said as he stood up leaning on his arms on the table.
Shade, Amy, and Adrian were seated in the dorm room as Merlin walked in with his clipboard, "Good afternoon, today, you will each be assigned a mission, the same mission. Your target is this glass blown statue in this mansion across town, the first one back with it, wins. Also, Shade is not a Hybrid, the things you saw were an illusion, do not worry and good luck."
Shade got up and gently pet Aidos as Adrian walked up, "Now, I don't believe this, was all of that an illusion?"
Shade sighed and turned to him as Aidos bristled and snarled at him, "I do, it was all an illusion. Good luck with the mission."
"I won't need it, mutt," Adrian said before walking away with his Bengal tiger in tow.
Amy walked towards him and glanced at him, "Shade... Is it really an illusion? You even told me that you were a Hybrid."
Shade sighed and stepped closer to her, "For now... Everything was an illusion... Just, good luck for the mission."
He turned and walked away as he geared up, placing his leather clothes on with a few of extra things he had designed and made. Amy watched him walk away and sighed before turning and gearing up herself.
That night, each candidate was taken to opposite sides of the mansion and told to wait for the signal which would tell them when to start. As a flare was shot into the sky each candidate flew across the grounds into the mansion, Amy through a side door, Adrian through the basement access, and Shade through a window near the basement trap door.
"Well isn't this convenient," he said as he heard Adrian curse in the basement.
He chuckled as he snuck into the large room and climbed onto the ceiling, his wings draped over his shoulders. He started to make scratching noises and growling sounds as Adrian looked around in terror.
"Hello? I-I have a knife," he replied meekly to the noises.
Shade chuckled darkly, letting it reverberate throughout the area they were in before taking on a transylvanian accent, "Who are you to step into my domain?"
Adrian started to freak out, "I-I'm sorry, please don't eat me!"
"Don't be foolish, I don't eat... I drink," Shade replied before twisting and landing on the ground with his wings draped behind him.
Adrian whimpered and fell to the floor in a dead faint as Shade walked over with a light chuckle, "Oh dear..."
Amy had heard all of this and sighed before walking away, "Boys..."
Shade chuckled again before pulling his wings in and moving to search the mansion for the glass statuette that they were supposed to find. He walked down the hall and into a side room before grinning, there in front of him was the statue.
"Well... This was all terribly easy," Shade replied as he reached for the statue.
He winced as he was shocked by a taser gun and fell to the floor but not before hearing, "Not as easy as you think."
Shade woke up and shook his head clear only to see a man in an overcoat standing above him.
"Who do you work for?" the man asked.
"I don't have to answer you," Shade replied as he realized that he was strapped to train tracks underground.
"Oh really? Is Kingsman really worth dying for?" the man asked as a train came down the tracks, blaring its horn.
"Fuck you!" Shade replied as the train got closer.
"So be it," the man said before stepping away from him.
"Shit!" Shade shouted as he braced for impact and the 'train' ran over him.
he whined and cracked open an eye before looking around as he was raised back onto the tracks. The man in front of him changed into Merlin and he chuckled before cutting Shade loose.
"Good job, you've past this task. Adrian's up next, want to watch?" Merlin asked as he helped him to his feet.
"Do you even have to ask?" Shade replied before they both headed for the door.
Merlin lead him towards the control room where they had Adrian up on the screen, Eggsy had just asked if the Kingsman were worth dying for.
"Fuck no! They're run by a guy named Arthur who has a technician named Merlin, he does all the tech stuff," Adrian replied as he tugged on the ropes.
"Ok," Eggsy replied before walking away.
"Hey, untie me! This wasn't part of the deal!" Adrian shouted as the train ran him over.
Eggsy walked back towards him as he opened his eyes, "Pack your bags, you're out of here."
He walked away again as Adrian shouted, "Hey! My father will hear about this! Untie me!"
Merlin clicked a button and he was heard all around in the cavern, "Untie yourself."
Another month went by and Shade found himself in Eggsy's office with Aidos at his side.
"Good morning Sir, may I sit?" he asked as he gestured to a chair next to Eggsy in front of the fireplace.
Eggsy nodded and smiled at the full grown cat, "Beautiful animal, what's it's name?"
"He's Aidos, I finally figured out that he was a Black Tiger, apparently they're really really rare. Even rarer than White Tigers," Shade replied, smiling down at Aidos who purred back at him, he had grown to the size of a normal Bengal Tiger.
"Ah, how nice..." Eggsy had a look of tension and anxiety as he pulled out a revolver gun.
"Sir?" Shade questioned as he spotted the gun, dreading what was going to happen next.
Eggsy hung the gun in his hand as he handed it to him, "Shoot the cat."
"W-What?" Shade stuttered out as he gripped the gun uncertainly.
"Shoot. The. Cat," Eggsy replied with a sigh and downcast eyes.
Shade nervously lifted the gun, leveling the barrel with Aidos' furry face, right between his eyes. His hand shook as he stared at Aidos who looked happily back at him, not knowing what was happening. Shade whined softly before looking away and squeezing the trigger.
Bang.
Author's Note: Sorry for the cliffy, I just had too cause I was getting tired of writing this chapter and needed an interesting ending. Then I remembered the 'dog shooting' from the movie and went with that, poor Aidos... Or is it? Find out in the next chapter, bye!
