So lets get on with this party. But before we do I thought I'd let yall know about my main story that Im working on. If you like the anime Fairy Tail or Bleach then you'll love it, so give it a read but until then we'll have some fun here. Enjoy.
By the time Fidelis made it back to the hide out he had taken all he could. As he stepped through the door he collapsed only to be caught by Neo who had been ahead of him. She was able to hold him up long enough for a couple White Fang members to run over and pick him up. As they were carrying him to the medbay he lost consciousness.
Roman walked over to Neo. "So, how'd it go?" He asked sarcastically.
She just gave him a thumbs up before turning and walking away.
6 hours later
Fidelis for the second time in 24 hours woke in a different place then when he fell a sleep, but at least this time he knew where he was. He was currently lying on a cot in the infirmary back at the base. He looked around and saw an IV in his arm as well as fresh bandages covering most of his body. He wasn't feeling any real pain so he assumed he was on painkillers.
Deciding he'd had enough of lying around he lifted himself out of bed and put his feet to the floor forcing himself to stand. He limped his way over to his Gunbai which was leaning against the wall and picked it up. He left the room using the fan as a crutch to walk. As he entered the main area he saw a large group of White Fang recruits training with their weapons. As he watched he noticed multiple errors and decided that while in his current state he couldn't participate he could still coach.
"You there, keep the blade between you and you enemy. Its the only thing keeping them from lopping your head off." He shouted as he approach. One of the more senior members who was supervising their training recognized Fidelis and ran over to him.
"Sir you shouldn't be out of the infirmary yet. Your injuries still need time to heal." He said as Fidelis took a seat on a nearby crate.
"Please, I've been in far worse shape than this before. Once my aura recovers completely and I get something to eat I'll be fine. I'd say it'll only take about a week before Im back at full capacity. In that time Im going to help whip these sorry asses into real fighters!" He said shouting the last part so that all the recruits could hear. "Have them pair up and begin sparring, I want to see what Im working with."
"Yes sir!" The instructor shouted before running off to follow his orders.
"So Fide, I heard you lost your fight with a little girl." Fidelis heard from behind him. He turned and saw Roman approaching with a cigar lit in his mouth.
"Yeah well in my defense, she did have a really big gun." He said gaining a chuckle out of Roman. "Thanks for the help breaking out by the way. I had no idea you cared so much." He added with a smirk.
"Ah what can I say, I have a heart of gold. And besides, if you weren't around who'd have the balls to tell off Cinder when shes being particularly bitchy." He said as he pulled out his scroll and began looking over some kind of chart.
"By the way, who was the girl who busted me out? I only got her name." Fidelis asked thinking back about the cute multi-colored girl.
"Oh Neo? Shes someone I met on a job a few years back. Even at a young age she was the best infiltrator I'd ever met." He said remembering that job or more specifically all the cash he got for it. "Ah those were the days I tell you. It was so much simpler back then. Just walk into a place steal all their money and get out. No conspiracy or radical groups."
"How old is she again? She didn't seemed to be more than a teenager."
"Im not sure but I think she's about 18 right now. Why?" Roman asked looking over his scroll eyebrow raised.
"No reason. I owe you both a drink by the way." Fidelis said as he watched the recruits begin their sparring.
"Ha! Check this out." Roman laughed before show the screen of his scroll to Fidelis. On the scroll was a picture which must have been taken by a security camera during his escape from the station. "I think they caught your good side." He said smirking.
"Let me see that." Fidelis grabbed the scroll and began reading. "A White Fang radical escaped police custody and remains at large, police say this man is believed to be a highly skilled combatant and is extremely dangerous. Due to his mask covering his face the fugitive's identity remains unknown though many officers have dubbed him 'The White Mask' due to his headwear. A reward of 10,000 Lien is being offered to anyone with information that can lead to his arrest." He stopped reading and handed the scroll back to Roman. "The White Mask huh? Not really the most creative name in the world."
"Welcome to the family kid, you got your first bounty too!" Roman said as he read further. "80,000 Lien dead or alive for bounty hunters. Not bad for your first."
"What was yours at again?" He asked looking over at the red headed man.
"250,000" He state with what seemed to be a bit of pride.
"Honestly if you both keep screwing up like you did last night I might just stand to profit more from turning you both in instead of having you work for me." Came a dreaded female voice from behind.
"Feel free to try anytime sugar tits, but I dont work for you. I work for Adam and last time I checked you two were partners and he doesn't work for you either." Fidelis deadpanned without even looking back at the woman though he could feel her glare. "Honestly I think I'd prefer prison over your constant bitching."
That seemed to do it as Cinder launched a fireball at Fidelis who rolled to the ground off the crate he was sitting on and swung his Gunbai at the fireball Cinder had fired. A huge gust of wind slammed into the fireball causing it to disperse leaving an already injured Fidelis pointing his fan at a fuming Cinder. "Okay break it up you two. God, has the day really come where I have to be the voice of reason around here?" Roman said getting in between the two of them. Roman knew Fidelis was strong but in his current condition there was no way he'd stand a chance against Cinder. Not to mention the fact that if Cinder killed Fidelis Adam would be beyond furious and their partnership falling apart would be one of the minor things they'd need to worry about.
Fidelis stopped pointing and turned to walk away from the to and began to make his way towards his recruits. He was at the point of almost blind rage. Not that she attacked him but because he finally had an excuse to wipe the floor with her tight little ass, but his body couldn't handle it. The next 2 hours would prove to be some of the hardest training any of the recruits had ever been through in their lives.
"What the hell was that?" Roman asked Cinder trying his best to keep his voice down.
Cinder had also turned and began walking away. "It wont happen again." She muttered clearly angry at herself for giving him exactly what he wanted. She new Fidelis just wanted to piss her off but she played right into his hands.
2 and a half hours later
Fidelis walked into his quarters and let out a sigh. One of the good things about being a high ranking member is that you get your own room and don't have to share. After closing and locking the door he touched a small button on the inside of his mask near his chin and took it off. He was use to wearing the thing for long extended periods of time but it always felt good to take it off. He threw it on to the bed and walked into his bathroom, once there he began to slowly begin removing his bandages. After he finished taking them all off he looked himself over in the mirror.
Most of his skin was still pink and felt raw to the touch but he could tell the burns were healing. Almost all of the cuts he had had closed up as well. He then jumped into the shower and just sat there for a few minutes letting the cold water run across his skin before he actually started to wash. Within a few minutes he had finished and was drying off. Deciding to just call it a day he threw on some Pajama pants and a t-shirt and fell onto his bed. With his eyes closed he rolled over onto his back and lifted his arm up. He snapped his fingers and the radio next to his bed began playing some of his music to help him relax. The song that was playing was called, Your Gonna Go Far Kid by another very little known band that was located here in Vale called The Offspring.
As he laid there listening to the music he began to fall asleep when he heard what sounded like footsteps inside his room. Immediately he jumped up and reached for his Gunbai but stopped when he saw who it was. Neo, there was a brief moment of panic when he realized he wasn't wearing his mask but he soon got a hold of himself. "You know its rude to just barge in to someones room."
She just smiled and shrugged before she bent down and picked up the mask that had fallen to the floor. "So what do I have to do to keep you quiet, no pun intended, about what I look like?" Fidelis asked as he sat down on his bed and began massaging his temples. She walked over and plopped herself down on his bed before pulling out her scroll and began typing.
'I just want you to buy me that ice cream you promised' She smiled as he read the screen.
"Really, thats what you came for?" She nodded. "Alright but can I buy it for you tomorrow?" She frowned which caused him to sigh. "Alright how about this. If you wait till tomorrow I'll take you out to get your ice cream and lunch. I've got nothing planned for tomorrow anyway." This got a smile out of her and a nod. "By the way, I know the answer is probably obvious but I was just wondering. Are you mute?"
She paused for a moment with a slight frown before she started typing on her scroll. 'I'll tell you on one condition.'
"And what would that be?" He raised an eyebrow as he read it.
'Let me touch your ears.' he read and saw her staring at the set of dog like ears on top of his head.
"Fine." He bent his head down and she gently gave them a squeeze before she started lightly scratching them which Fidelis would never admit felt amazing. As he felt himself begin to enjoy it a little to much he lifted his head back up. "So whats up? Are you mute?"
She giggled or at least did the motion of putting her hand to her mouth though no sound ever came out. She typed into her scroll. 'Yes I am, is that a problem?'
Fidelis lied back onto to his bed and shut his eyes again. "Not at all. Anyway Im gonna get some shut eye now. We'll hang tomorrow." He felt her stand from the bed and turned to see her leave but when he looked she was gone. "Well at least my new friend is interesting." He then turned out the lights and fell asleep.
Woo another chapter down. Sorry if it wasn't action packed like the others but we all need to take breaks here and there. Anyway Im gonna follow Fides example and get some sleep. LATER.
