Chaotic Inspection Bursting into Flames
"So, you're here to inspect the oil sight to see if everything is in working order." Rig said after hearing on what Shadow said.
"What's right, hope you don't mind about me suddenly showing up here, but I decided to come here on my own." Shadow explained.
"Well, you like edgy and trouble to have another." Rig commented causing Shadow to feel a tick on his head.
"Edgy, huh? Well, you look more filthy and stick being around oil for so long." Shadow mocked back.
"Hey now, that's a manly smell and I do in fact get showers!" Rig growled a little.
Rig and Shadow stare at each other for a moment or two glaring with their eyes locked on and not even thinking about looking away, that is until Rouge let out a fake cough to get their attention on her and tapping her foot a little.
"Sorry to break up your manly stare down, but I believe we have an inspection to do." Rouge reminded the oil plant boss.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgotten about that." Rig said scratching the back of his head.
"You're an inspector too?" Shadow asked.
"New one and my boss sent me out here to get the experience, you could say this is practice for me." Rouge explained the made-up story for her cover up.
Shadow kept looking at the woman getting an odd feeling she is not saying all what she claims to be right now, but he didn't think of her much as a bad person for he senses some good in her meaning she could be something else than just being an inspector.
"Trying to check me out, are you?" Rouge giggled.
"Be careful, people may get the wrong idea if you keep staring at me like that." Rouge flirted a little with a wink.
"You like to mess with people like that, don't you?" Shadow asked, unfazed from the flirting.
"Wow, you sure are a serious type." Rouge said with a slight grin.
"We should get going now." Rig said as the three started walking together.
"(I can't believe I'm actually walking alongside with Project Ultimate Lifeform; the big guys are going to freak once I report this.)" Rouge thought excited.
But Rouge knew the excitement would have to wait for she had to also find out if either MIST or DOATC has any hidden plans in this oil plant, and she would also have to be extra careful around Shadow as she can tell that he is trying to see through her disguise.
(With Lisa Hamilton)
"And you let that woman get away?" Donovan asked in an angry tone, talking to Lisa through the large computer screen.
"I swear, I have no idea how she got in. This Rouge managed to get through our security systems." Lisa confused about this spy as well.
"Whoever she was, she got the file on the old Ultimate Lifeform data." Lisa mentioned.
"She must have been sent someone else since Shadow is already working for Helena in DOATEC, meaning there is someone else seeking a certain power." Donovan said.
"What do mean by that, sir?" Lisa asked curious.
"That is not something for you to be concerned about, Lisa. It was an old project that is no longer of my interest, just focus on our main clone warrior project." Donovan ordered.
"But aren't you worry about Kasumi and Shadow searching for Alpha-152?" Lisa asked, remembering that fight with Shadow.
"They will not know of the plan, even if they did it'll be too late for them to do anything to stop us." Donovan smirked.
"Now continue with the plan, and if you were to fail me again like with that spy then that great mind of yours will be sleeping with the fishes." Donovan threatened before ending the call.
"Damn it, something tells me I have got myself into something really deep." Lisa cursed at herself.
Lisa turns types onto the keyboard to load up a picture of Shadow as the memories of their first encounter went down with seeing and feeling his great strength.
"That boy was definitely holding back, he could have ended my life if he wanted to." Lisa noticed.
"But still, those strikes were painful as Hell." Lisa rubbed on part of her body where Shadow hit her.
Then her mind started to play some weird fantasy about herself and Shadow together doing something very close.
(Lisa's Mindscape)
Lisa and Shadow are seen together with their hands together trying to push each other back though the latter smirks as he pulls the science woman closer, having her breasts pressed onto his strong chest and wrap one arm around her waist.
"I have to say, you have quite the muscle for a woman who is focus on science and paperwork." Shadow complimented with a smirk.
"Well, huh, a girl has to have a hobby to keep herself from getting bored." Lisa stated blushing a little.
"An extreme hobby." Shadow commented.
Shadow moves one hand onto her cheek causing the wrestling science woman to blush and move his other hand to grab onto her butt, giving one bottom cheek a good squeeze that made her let out a sudden moan from her mouth and becomes shocked of what just happened.
"Such a lovely sound you made, can you do more?" Shadow asked.
"Wait, I…" Lisa tried to push Shadow away, but her body won't listen.
Shadow comes in closer and closer until they trip over with the male fighter on top of Lisa and their face are very close to a kiss, and Lisa is enjoying this very much.
(Back to Reality)
Lisa is seen now rubbing onto her pussy from inside her pants while groping on one of her breasts making herself moan.
"Oh god!" Lisa gasped and quickly stop herself.
Lisa looks at herself realizing what she was just doing right now and what she was thinking about too, looking back at the screen seeing Shadow's picture again.
"Oh Lisa, it looks like you really got yourself a big crush on that one." Lisa sighed with a smile as she knew what she was feeling right now.
(With Shadow)
Rig is leading both Shadow and Rouge to another area of the oil plant for the inspection as he showed them around the other places before, even showing the how hard the workers are doing at their job.
"That there is the generator that runs the whole oil plant." Rig gestured to the generator.
"Hmm, it looks fancier than one kind of generator I've seen even though I never actually seen one before until now." Shadow said.
"I take it DOATEC have something to do with that?" Rouge asked.
"Yeah, DOATEC wanted this tournament to go off without any problems and troubles like a sudden blackout. Can't have a tournament without power." Rig nodded.
"But doesn't it seem like that generator can power more than just this oil plant?" Rouge wondered.
"Yeah, I thought about that too, but I don't do the questioning when I can just do my job." Rig shrugged.
"I can vouch for Helena; she would never want to put innocent lives in danger." Shadow assured.
"Hmm, you speak very highly for that woman. Sounds like you're very close to her." Rouge stated.
"That's because she and another woman I'm very close to gave me a home after finding me in a dark place, and I would use my strength to help them in any way." Shadow crossed his arms with a serious look.
"Paying your respect and then some, I like that in a man." Rig smirked.
"Well, it looks like this place is good to go for the tournament." Shadow complimented.
"Do you do some checkups on the generator to make sure it's running smoothly?" Rouge asked another question.
"We have a guy for that and it's only every week or so which I believe the next checkup is tomorrow." Rig recalled the time of the generator checkup.
"(Damn, I was hoping to see what this generator is all about up close.)" Rouge thought upset, then look towards Shadow.
"(Well, it's not all bad. I still have Shadow to question later.)" Rouge thought grinned, feeling a little exciting.
"So, does that cover up for the entire inspection?" Rig asked.
"I believe everything to be in tiptop shape." Shadow nodded.
"Yeah, looks like you're all in the clear though I wouldn't mind checking something else like… where do you guys have your breaks?" Rouge asked playfully.
"Well then, the breakroom shall be the last thing for this tour. Follow me." Rig gestured his hand and walks in one direction.
Shadow falls one foot behind Rouge to keep an eye on her better even though she hadn't done anything to give him a reason to attack her right now, but he can't shake the feeling that she is hiding a deep secret and his instincts are warning him to be careful if he doesn't want to make this woman his enemy.
But she is not the only one to feel odd around, there is also Rig.
"(From what Rig told me, he has been working in this oil plant for a long time yet doesn't remember why and anything about himself outside of this place. A man with no past to remember, just like me.)" Shadow thought surprised.
He looks at Rig's back again thinking about how much they have in common with memory lost of their past, yet at the same time there is something else like something… dark.
"Here we are, the breakroom." Rig introduced the two to the breakroom.
"Looks cozy." Rouge commented.
"Yeah, we would keep ourselves entertain so we wouldn't get bored from being all the way out here for so long until our next holiday and such." Rig nodded.
"What we got here are just what we like to do as such playing pool, darts, and some cards. We got ourselves some food and drinks for the meals, and a TV though not the big fancy ones." Rig showed them around.
"And before anyone ask, we do have a bathroom." Rig said.
"Nobody was asking about that." Shadow said as he and Rouge deadpan the man.
"I know, just wanted to say it." Rig shrugged with a chuckle.
"Hey Rig, you on break too?" A man asked walking toward him.
"Just showing these inspectors around, Bass." Rig gestured to Shadow and Rouge.
"(Bass, how do I suddenly feel like I know this man?)" Shadow thought confused himself about this.
"Hey there, hope you guys are enjoying the home away from home." Bass greeted.
"My, my, I never I would get the chance to meet the famous world champion wrestler, Bass Armstrong." Rouge surprised.
"Come on, now. I'm retired, but it's nice to meet someone who remembers me." Bass laughed and flexed his right arm.
Bass is a tall man with a large, wide frame. He has light blue eyes and blonde, shoulder-length hair styled into a mullet, and a beard which covers the whole of his lower face but is trimmed close to the skin. He wears the construction uniform that is consists of an orange jumpsuit with suspenders and the sleeves tied together, a tank top with a "D" over the left breast, leather boots, and a utility belt with various equipment. He also wears work gloves, a pair of goggles, and a black bandana.
"Bass Armstrong?" Shadow muttered.
"I have to say, I never thought of you working here of all places." Rouge said.
"Really? Did you think I would go off on a private island to live the rest of my golden days in peace?" Bass asked before letting out a loud laugh.
"As if, I just thought about making myself into a working man to help me and my daughter get by and hopefully she can live a great life too." Bass smiled, thinking about his little girl right now.
"Aw, you're equally famous daughter, Tina Armstrong. I heard rumors that she is keeping herself in fighting shape." Rouge mentioned.
"Tine?" Shadow surprised softly as he just remembered Tina, one of the fighters he fought and Mila to invite them for the Dead or Alive Tournament.
"Really? Well, I hope she doesn't think about getting involve in fighting because she's supposed to be retired like I have." Bass pointed out.
"That may not be the case, sir." Shadow said getting Bass's attention.
"Uh, and why do you say that?" Bass asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, first off, let me tell you that my name is Shadow, and I work for DOATEC." Shadow introduced himself.
"Just Shadow? No last name or anything?" Bass asked.
Shadow thought about this for a few seconds thinking he is gonna need a last name to fit in more into the world without having to reveal himself too much, so decided to go with one nickname.
"Robotnik. Shadow Robotnik." Shadow smiled proudly.
Bass is a little confuse of the funny last name but can see the proudness in the young man's eyes and wouldn't have it any other way which also means he must really love his family to carry that name proud.
"Okay, now what was it you were saying before?" Bass asked again.
"Well, I think you'll be very surprised to hear that your daughter, Tina Armstrong has just joined the Dead or Alive tournament and she is probably training right now." Shadow informed.
Bass look at Shadow for two seconds before letting out a loud laugh that surprise everyone around him for a moment until he stops to look at Shadow, notice that Shadow was looking at him quiet and looking serious with that face making him realize that Shadow was being serious.
"Wait, wait, you're saying my precious Tina is gonna be fighting in the tournament?" Bass asked freaking out.
"Yeah, that's what I just said." Shadow answered.
"I… I'm gonna be somewhere else." Bass walked away still shock.
"Is he gonna be alright?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, I think he just needs to adjust the news that his daughter is gonna be fighting in the Dead or Alive." Rig stated.
"How sweet, he's the kind of daddy who doesn't want to see his daughter get hurt even though he was the one who trained him to be a wrestler in the first place." Rouge giggled.
"Something tells me he would want to join the tournament as well." Shadow said.
"Well, with that done, the tour is over. How about I buy you two some drinks?" Rig offered.
But before either of them could respond to that question, a sudden explosion was heard, and the breakroom is shaking violently.
"What's going on?" Rouge asked.
"I don't know, something must've happened." Rig worried as he ran out.
"Better go see this too." Shadow decided to follow Rig.
"Wait, Shadow!" Rouge tried to call him out, but he didn't listen as he kept running.
Shadow looks around seeing fire everywhere and the workers are in a panic as they try to get away from the fire, he quickly got to work on helping them by using his superspeed to blitz them away from the fire and at the main docking port in just ten seconds, including Rouge.
"Okay, I think I got everyone." Shadow hoped he did until he notice two people are missing.
"Damn it, Rig and Bass are still in there." Shadow cursed before going back in.
Shadow runs around trying to find the two while dodging the sudden explosions and the falling of large pipes, even running inside through a fallen pipe and Spin Dash through a wall of fire until he found both Rig and Bass.
"Hey, you two okay?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, just about to turn on the emergency water to get the fire down." Rig nodded.
"Make it fast!" Shadow said.
Rig and Bass starts turn the large wheel though it was a struggle to make it turn for a few seconds until it finally started moving, and soon the emergency water system is turned on taking care of the fire.
"Okay, now to meet up with the others." Shadow grabbed onto Rig and Bass and blitz them to the dock.
"Whoa, how the fuck did you do that?" Bass asked shock.
"Let just say I'm special." Shaodw shrugged with a smirk.
"(Oh, very special, indeed.)" Rouge thought smiled sexually.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Now Shadow has met Bass Armstrong, the father of Tina Armstrong, and told him that she is joining the tournament, which is a major shock to the father, but I'm sure the man would also show respect to Shadow for saving the rest of the crew from that sudden fire. And Rouge is having a real liking towards Shadow as well.
