Chapter 45: Worried About A Friend

Rashid and Azam were attempting to find their way out of the base when they found Nash, wounded.

"Good sir! That looks painful. Can you stand?"

Nash tried to get up.

"Were you able to defeat Bison?"

"I couldn't kill him," he replied.

An alarm sounded.

"I guess they haven't finished the job. Damn it! I haven't found my friend yet!"

Nash looked at him with curiosity. Rashid begins his story.

"An old friend. This friend was a bit of a bonehead when we were kids. We also made games. One became a huge hit. After that, a lot of companies were job offers. My friend was hesitating to make a decision, but then decided to work a company under Shadaloo. Probably was tricked into it. After all, how else could anyone ever end up making the Black Moons? My friend had bee making mistakes for what seemed like every time I get the same call for help, 'My friend Rashid, please my life' or something like that. So I helped, but not once have I ever got a thank you. What a friend. This time I think it's really serious."

"I'm assuming you'll continue looking for him," Nash asked. A low growl is heard nearby. Necalli has found them. Looks like Rashid's friend will have to wait a little longer... if he survives, that is.
