Chapter 5: Outsider and Friend. (2/4)
Ellie Williams:
"Alright," Maria spoke while her arms were folded. "You and your girlfriend are fine, but if you wanna keep it that way, you will answer my questions." She spoke to the guy named Jordan, who was tied up to a chair in the living room of the shack that they were staying in. "Are we clear?"
"Fuck you!" Jordan responded by angrily yelling at her.
"You're the one that is fucked right now." Ellie, who was standing besides the couch where Tommy was sitting, rebuffed. "So I wouldn't push it if I were you." She warned him.
By some miracle, she was able to sleep peacefully without having any nightmares. But that peaceful sleep was short lived since she was abruptly woken up by the sound of a gunshot, which caused Ellie to fall off the bed and immediately rush to see what it was in her underwear. Only to catch a girl aiming a handgun at everyone else, so she wasted no time in stabbing the girl's arm with her knife.
After putting her clothes back on, Jesse explained that a guy and girl attacked Maria, then they followed her back to the house and the guy tried to take out Fox Boy, but the Albino Weirdo dislocated his shoulder and the girl tried to save him before Ellie stabbed her. Once she heard the explanation, she decided to help Tommy and Maria interrogate the guy.
"Shut the fuck up!" He yelled back at Ellie. "You stabbed Leah!"
"Your girlfriend is fine." Maria was quick to assure him that his girlfriend was fine. Despite the fact that they didn't really know.
"But that can change pretty fast if you don't answer our questions." Tommy was quick to add that.
Before anyone could say anything else, they all heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Moving their heads, they realized that it was the Albino Weirdo. Who was descending from the stairs with his torso covered in bandages.
"Hey!" Jordan called out for him in anger. With him moving his face to look at him. "You got lucky, when I get my hands on you next time." Only to make a pointless threat.
"He's probably going to cripple you if you try." Dina, who came down after Fox Boy did, quickly rebuffed.
Ellie really didn't like that. "What were you two doing?"
"I was putting the bandages back on his torso." Dina was quick to reply. "I think your sweater is in the kitchen."
The Albino Weirdo nodded before moving towards the kitchen with his weird robotic walk.
"How is the girl?" Maria asked Dina.
"According to Fox Boy, she lost a considerable amount of blood but not a fatal amount." Jordan moved his head to look at Dina as she explained the state of the girl called Leah. "The girl was actually lucky, if the bullet went a little bit to the right it would have hit one of her kidneys."
"The assault rifle was in semi-auto, and I wasn't exactly aiming." Maria explained, if it was in full-auto or if she was aiming properly, she would probably be dead.
"The stab wound was the problem, since it actually hit an artery." Dina pointed out, causing Jordan to look worried. "Fox Boy actually managed to patch her up but..." She scratched her head. "We're out of meds.'"
"Shit." Maria cursed in response because they were all still recuperating from what happened. "Where is she right now?" She asked.
"In the room where Jesse is staying, he's watching over her." She folded her arms. "She mentioned that her group will start looking for them soon."
Everyone moved their heads to look at Jordan. "Care to add anything?" Maria asked.
"Fuck you." Jordan insulted her. "Aaahhh!" And Tommy simply touched his broken arm in response. "Asshole!"
"Listen, we don't really want any trouble or cause you and your friends any harm." Maria explained to him. "But honestly, if these friends of yours come to us and we're forced to fight, we will, with no hesitation and that will lead to unnecessary bloodshed." Despite being in no condition to fight, they could still put up one if necessary. "So please help us avoid that and tell us who exactly are you people."
Jordan grinded his teeth in response to that. "Fine..." He decided to comply.
"Okay, so could you please explain why you two attacked me?" That was Maria's first question.
"We didn't do shit!" He was quick to deny it. "Leah and I saw the car from afar and decided to check it out, we only saw that there was someone inside when we got close enough." That was his explanation, but it didn't seem like she was lying. "Leah got startled when she saw you and ended up shooting at the car."
"That sounds like bullshit." Ellie spoke in response because it sounded too accidental.
"Bitch, shut the fuck up." Jordan immediately rebuffed angrily towards Ellie.
Ellie was about to speak back but Tommy signalled her to not do it.
"How did you find us?" Tommy asked him.
"It wasn't hard, the car left a trail." Jordan pointed out.
Neither Maria or Tommy seemed surprised. But it was kind of expected that the car would have left a trail.
"Okay," Maria approached the chair. "Where exactly did you and your people come from?" She asked calmly.
Jordan simply looked away, clearly showing no intention of answering her question. But the moment he did, he made a weirded out face. Which caused everyone to move their heads to see what he was seeing.
"What the fuck is he doing?" Ellie asked as it turned out that he was looking at the window.
Where they could see the Albino Weirdo on his knees outside, apparently doing something with the snow.
Dina giggled a bit. "He's building a snowman." She pointed out to them.
"The fuck?" Jordan reacted accordingly. "How old is that guy?"
"Seventeen." Dina answered before she moved towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Ellie asked as she watched Dina limp towards the door.
"See if he wants help." Dina bluntly answered before she reached the door.
Before Ellie could say anything else, Dina passed through the door and closed behind her.
Leaving the group dumbfounded that they would do something like that in a situation like the one they were in.
"Okay, I had enough of this..." Ellie touched her face in deep frustration. "Maria, can we please just get rid of that Albino Weirdo already!" She made no attempt to hide her dissatisfaction with his presence there.
"Ellie, now is not the time to talk about this." Maria reminded her of the current situation.
"Oh come on, when is ever the time?!" Ellie wanted to get rid of him as soon as they left Jackson, she simply put up with him because she was dealing with Joel's death. "We should have just ditched him as soon as we escaped Jackson."
Jordan strangely moved his head to look at Ellie after she said that, but she was too focused on Maria.
"If we actually did that, we would have been stuck here after we actually ran out of gas, or we would have starved without food or our injuries would have gotten worse." Maria pointed out, in truth, Fox Boy has been doing most of the work there since they escaped Jackson. Stuff like hunting for food, making sure that the car was running and pretty much tending their injuries. "Not to mention that if the Normandies have caught up to us, how exactly would we deal with them?" Because they could barely deal with one of those Faceless.
"He was one of them, Maria!" Ellie pointed out that fact as well.
"Ellie," Maria touched her face before continuing. "I don't like his presence here just as much as you, believe me." She made sure to make that part abundantly clear. "But whether we like it or not, we need him." Ellie really wanted to yell back and said that they didn't need his help, but instead, she just let Maria finish. "Look, once we're all completely recovered and we find a better place to stay then we can just send the kid on his way, but until then, he stays." She touched Ellie's shoulder affectionately. "Okay?"
Ellie was not happy about that, but she heard Maria. "Okay."
"Honestly, I think one of you has to inform Dina about that." Tommy suggested as he looked at the window.
Moving their heads, they caught Dina helping the Albino Weirdo build that snowman.
Ellie really didn't like what she was seeing. Just what the fuck is with her? Honestly, she got way too close to the Albino Weirdo in such a short time. That was something that everyone noticed. While they were all simply putting up with his presence out of necessity, Dina seemed to actually like having him around, which really frustrated Ellie.
Emphasized by the frown she made when Dina smiled after hitting his mask with a snowball.
"We will talk about that later," Maria said. "Right now, we have to deal with our current situation." Ellie and Tommy moved their heads to look at Jordan.
Who was looking at them with a weird face. "You're from Jackson?"
The trio looked at each other with confidence expressions after hearing that question. "Yes," Ellie decided to answer. "Why?"
"That's where my friends and I were heading." He answered her question.
Once again, the three of them looked at each other, but this time with suspicious expressions. "What exactly were you and your friends heading towards Jackson for?"
"Before I tell you that, answer me." Jordan was quick to reply. "What the hell did she mean by "escaped Jackson"?" He repeated what Ellie said earlier.
"That's none of y-" Ellie was about to deny his request.
"Jackson was attacked by a group that call themselves the Normanides." But Maria decided to answer his question. "The whole place was burned to the ground and most of it's inhabitants were killed in cold blood." It surprised Tommy and Ellie how Maria spoke so bluntly about what happened. "Now, tell us why the hell were you heading there for." Only for them to realize that she was clearly losing her patience as a result of it.
"We were... Looking for someone." He admitted while clearly being surprised by what he just heard.
"Who?" Maria bluntly asked. "Whoever it was, he or she is probably dead, but if you have a name, we can tell if we actually saw it." She folded her arms and awaited for an answer.
Jordan seemed to be contaminated for a second, until he finally responded. "Joel Miller."
Unsurprisingly, Ellie, Tommy and Maria widened their eyes in response. Ellie was about to ask what exactly they wanted, but Maria spoke first.
"We knew him." Maria confirmed. "He was the one in charge of the patrol duty." She pointed out to him, with Ellie being confused at first, but then understanding that she was hiding their connection with him. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but he's dead." She revealed it to him.
"Fuck!" The guy seemed to be angry over the information . "Are you sure he's dead?!" He asked in clear doubt.
"Yes..., we saw his body." Maria confirmed.
"So all of this shit was for nothing?" It wasn't really a question. "Goddammit Abby!" He seemed to be especially angry towards someone called Abby.
"It's none of my business, but what exactly did you want with Joel anyway?" Maria continued to pretend that she wasn't Joel's sister-in-law.
"I didn't want shit from him." Jordan clarified. "One of my fucking friend, Abby, wanted to kill him because he killed her dad." He revealed to them in clear frustration. "He also killed a bunch of other people that my friends were close to , including my girlfriend's step-brother, which was the only reason why I came along for this shit." He was obviously angry over the entire situation.
The three of them were surprised by that, but they got over their surprise fairly quickly. Joel made a lot of enemies and killed a bunch of people during his years as a smuggler. So it didn't really surprise them that someone would come after him for revenge. Though Ellie was a little angry, because had circumstances been different, they could have done something to Joel. But she controlled her anger because it didn't really matter anymore.
"How did you find out that he was in Jackson anyway?" Tommy asked him in curiosity.
"Some former Fireflies told us that his brother was one of the people in charge of the place, so we decided to check there." Jordan answered.
"It's true." Tommy confirmed since it was true.
"Honestly, most of us thought it was a bad idea, but Abby was so fucking obsessed that we decided to come just to make sure that she didn't get herself killed." Jordan answered, despite clearly being angry at Abby for making them waste their time with that.
You all almost did. Ellie thought in deep annoyance. If they actually got to Jackson before the Normandies to hurt Joel, they would have killed them all.
"It was a really bad idea," Maria told him. "It appears to me that you and your friends traverse an extremely dangerous environment during winter time based purely on a complete loose lead that you got from questionable sources for something as futile as revenge." She couldn't help but point out how ridiculous that whole thing was.
"I don't give a fuck about revenge, I just wanted to help my friend and my girlfriend." He was quick to declare that.
"And that's understandable, but now your girlfriend is injured and would be dead right now if things went just a little different." Maria pointed out what was wrong with that.
"I am aware of that, that's why I'm pissed!" Jordan declared angrily. "Look, can you please just let me go?!" He asked in deep annoyance. "My friend Mel is a medic, and she can take care of Leah."
Tommy and Maria looked at one another before responding. "Sorry, we can't take the risk." Tommy was quick to speak in response. "And Fox Boy really messed up your arm, so you going out there is not a good idea." Before he explained why it was a bad idea.
Jordan made a confused face. "Fox what?"
"That kid with a mask, his name is Fox Boy." Tommy clarified.
"What kind of crazy motherfucker names their kid, Fox Boy?" Jordan asked in clear disbelief with the name.
The crazy motherfucker that killed Joel. Ellie thought as the image of the man called Reaper appeared on her mind. Made it worse by the fact that Fox Boy's sword was on her line of sight. Inside of the red backpack that was hanging alongside their coats. The sword that killed Joel.
"The same one that did this on me." Tommy pointed out as he highlighted his injuries to Jordan. "But that doesn't matter, my point still stands."
"Then what the hell are you going to do?!" Jordan asked in clear annoyance. "You're not going to kill me, so what exactly are you going to do? "
Maria took a deep breath before responding. "Two of us are going to escort you back to your friends, while your friend Leah stays here." Jordan was about to open his mouth to argue but Maria spoke first. "She's not in condition to move around anyway, so taking her along would be unwise." She pointed out the obvious. "And honestly, we don't have any reason to trust that you're not going to just rile up your friends to come after us." They didn't know him, so it would be a really bad idea to trust him. "So either you accept it, or we're going to keep you and your girlfriend locked in here until we're ready to move out." That was her offer, it was take it or leave it.
Jordan grunted in annoyance. "Fine."
"Who's going with him?" Ellie decided to ask.
"Jesse." Maria answered instantly. "You, Tommy and Dina are still injured." She unnecessarily clarified her reasoning behind that decision. Then she moved her head to look at the window. "He's going too.'"
Ellie immediately moved her head to see the almost completed snowman that the Albino Weirdo and Dina were doing.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Tommy asked him. "That kid isn't exactly in top condition either."
"Who cares?" Ellie was quick to reply.
"Ellie..." Maria spoke apprehensively to her before responding to Tommy. "If things go bad, I can trust that he's going to watch Jesse's back." She explained her reasoning. "Besides, he was in much worse condition when we escaped Jackson." As much as Ellie hated to admit, it was true.
"Yeah..." Tommy agreed with her.
"Call those two for me," She was referring to Fox Boy and Dina. "I'm going to go speak with Jesse." She wasted no time in moving towards the stairs to go find Jesse.
Ellie heard her and wasted no time in moving towards the door. Leaving Tommy to watch over Jordan.
Opening the door, Ellie heard the two speak.
"Mr. Snowball?" Dina spoke with a smile.
"Yes, since he's made of big snowballs." Fox Boy replied as he put buttons on the snowman's eyes.
Ellie rolled her eyes in response, because Fox Boy often acted like an overgrown child. "Hey." She called the two of them as she approached the two.
"Hey." Dina greeted her. "How does it look?" She highlighted the snowman that she and Fox Boy made. It looked like a normal snowman, with the difference that it had a fedora hat and a white scarf that they probably got from the owner of the house.
"It looks... Nice." Ellie admitted, it actually looked pretty good, despite the fact that it was a waste of time. "Look, Maria wants to escort that guy back to his group." She revealed it to Dina.
Dina immediately made a confused face. "Did you figure something out?"
"Him and his friends were actually making their way to Jackson because they wanted to kill Joel." Dina widened her eyes in response before Ellie continued. "I don't know the details, but he apparently killed the father of a girl named Abby and she basically convinced all of her friends to help her get revenge for it."
"Seriously?" Dina asked in disbelief.
"Joel made a bunch of enemies, her father was probably some asshole that tried to double cross Joel or something." That was harsh, but most of those that Joel killed weren't exactly saints , and she has no reason to think this particular guy was any different. "We were careful and he doesn't know that Tommy is his brother, and it's better that we keep it that way." Otherwise, they might try to get revenge on his loved ones instead.
"Okay... But why are you escorting him back to his group?" Dina asked her in clear confusion.
"His people are probably going to start looking for them anyway, so it's better that we just try to resolve this crap peacefully." Ellie explained to her girlfriend. "Maria wants Jesse and... Him, to take the guy back to his group." She pointed at Fox Boy, who was adjusting the scarf of the snowman.
"Yeah, Jesse is the least busted of us and Fox Boy can watch his back if things go south." Dina immediately figured out the reasoning behind the choice.
Dina then moved her head to look at Fox Boy, who was adjusting the fedora hat on the snowman. Ellie did the same thing, and for the first time since she met him, he didn't seem creepy at all.
"And now, Mr. Snowball... It's complete." Fox Boy spoke in a very happy voice as he was clearly admiring the snowman that he just built. Dina giggled a bit in response to that, while Ellie chuckled because it was kind of cute that he was so happy over something so simple.
Fox Boy:
"Can I have my damn gun back already?"
"No."
After he finished building Mr. Snowball, Ellie and Dina told him to get inside. Once he was in, Maria ordered him and Jesse to escort the one called Jordan back to his group. So he put his coat on and grabbed his belongings to accompany Jesse. Though, he left the vest, sword and assault rifle behind because Dina said that he was probably not going to need it.
"Come on man, my arm is fucked, I'm going to need it if we run into trouble." Jordan told Jesse as he moved ahead of them.
"If we run into trouble, then I will give it back to you." Jesse responded as he walked behind Jordan with his handgun at hand.
The climate was decent enough, it wasn't too cold and there weren't any signs of another blizzard. Which allowed them to traverse through the path that would lead to Jordan's camp with ease.
"Goddammit..." Jordan complained as he grabbed on to his right arm. "Thanks for breaking my fucking my arm, asshole." He spoke to Fox Boy.
"Actually, I simply dislocated your shoulder but..." He corrected him. "You are welcome." Fox Boy replied, despite not really understanding why he was thanking him for dislocating his shoulder.
"Fuck you." Jordan spoke angrily afterwards.
Jesse just chuckled in response before speaking. "How far up ahead ?" He asked Jordan.
"Not far..." Jordan responded as they continued to head forward. "We're camping near a road." He explained to them.
"You have cars?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah, Military cars that used to belong to FEDRA." Jordan clarified.
"And where exactly did you get those cars?" Jesse asked.
"None of your business." With Jordan denying him an answer.
The trio moved through the snowy path, until they spotted a road from afar. Jordan signalled them, indicating that to be the road, with him moving forward. But before Fox Boy could follow him, Jesse stopped him.
"If they attack, shoot to kill, okay?" Jesse instructed him.
"Okay." Fox Boy understood.
Fox Boy and Jesse followed Jordan after that, and slowly moved to reach the road. But once they got close, they realized that something was wrong.
"What the fuck?" Because Jordan reacted strangely.
Fox Boy could tell that there was a camp there. There was a fire place, a few cans of food and wood scattered around. But it seemed to be mostly abandoned. There were signs of vehicles but there was only one of them on sight.
"Is this the spot?" Jesse asked in confusion.
"Yeah, but that's not one of our cars." Jordan was quick to point out.
The car seemed to be a regular four door car in the color silver that was in considerably poor condition. It certainly didn't belong to Jordan's friends since it certainly didn't qualify as a military vehicle.
"Where-" Jordan was about to speak , but he was interrupted.
"Why the fuck are we still here?!" By the voice of someone else speaking.
The trio immediately moved their heads to see who it was. Suddenly, two men approach the car from the opposite direction.
"Because there are two more of those assholes around." One of those men.
"Why are we even bothering, we should have just killed those idiots." The man claimed.
One of the men was a big and bulky man with long hair tied in a bum. He was wearing a red parka and blue jeans, he was carrying a Smith & Wesson 3000.
The other was shorter and visibly overweight with a bald head and unkempt beard. He was wearing a brown leather jacket and beige cargo pants, carrying a Ruger P90.
"Fuck." Jordan cursed in a low voice. "Give me my gun."
Jesse immediately handed his CZ 100 back. "By the looks of it, they ambushed your friends." He pointed out.
"Ten men, armed with .38 Special revolvers, 12-gauge shotguns, 9mm Parabellum handguns and .223 Remington rifles." Fox Boy spoke, causing Jesse and Jordan to look at him. "No casualties."
"How the fuck do you know that?" Jordan asked him while making a strange facial expression.
"The Footprints in the snow are considerably large, indicating male feet, the shape of the soles are different, indicating different kinds of boots worn by different people." Fox Boy explained while pointing at the considerable number of footprints in the snow that were a few steps away from the camp. "The empty bullet cartridges on the ground are of .38 Special, 9mm Parabellum, 12-gauge Shotgun Shells and .223 Remington ." He continued to explain while pointing at the used rounds on the ground. "And I don't see any blood or signs of bodies being dragged, which indicates that there were no casualties." He could be wrong though, but it was highly unlikely.
"So they must have taken your friends somewhere." Jesse suggested to Jordan as he held up his Kimber Custom 1911.
"Fuck..." Jordan seemed to have agreed to Jesse. "We need to take these assholes down and make them tell us where they took everyone."
Jesse heard what Jordan said and immediately moved his head to look at Fox Boy. "Can you incapacitate those two without killing them?" He asked the albino boy.
"Yes." Fox Boy answered right away.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
After a strange and quiet pause, Jesse sighed and said. "Go incapacitate those two without killing them." He specifically instructed him.
"Alright." Fox Boy then got out of cover and slowly made his way towards the two men .
"What the fuck is wrong with this dude?" He heard Jordan ask Jesse.
"Don't ask." He heard Jesse respond.
Slowly, Fox Boy approaches the car while crouched, the closer he gets, the louder their voices become.
"Are we even sure that there's more of them?" The overweight man asked the other.
"You heard that buff bitch say two names when we got here, a guy's and a girl's name." The big man replied in response. "They probably wander off and will get back at any time." He was probably referring to Jordan and Leah.
"But why though?" The overweight man seemed confused about the intent.
"You heard Geralt, we got to grab as many people as possible to trade." The big man spoke as he placed the shotgun on top of the car and took a few steps forward.
Not realizing that Fox Boy reached the car and got under it.
"For fuck's sake, since when do we trade slaves?" The overweight man stepped forward, clearly annoyed with the situation.
But with the two away from the car, Fox Boy was able to crawl under it and emerge from the other side, right behind the duo.
"Since we used all our supplies in that stupid raid." The big man pointed out. "Geralt was able to get into contact with this group a few months ago, they agreed to exchange slaves for food, ammo and a bunch of other shit." He took a few steps forward.
"What is the group's name again?" The overweight man asked as Fox Boy got behind him.
"They call themselves the Norman- '' Before the big man could finish what he was going to say. Fox Boy got behind the overweight man and striked the base of his neck with a Knifehand strike, landing perfectly on his carotid sinus. Which caused him to lose consciousness and fall forward into the snow. "What th-" The big man turned around as soon as the overweight man fell on the ground, only to be greeted by Fox Boy closing the distance and attacking him as well. First by delivering a kick to his groin, then a double knife hand strike to his neck, followed by a backhand strike to his groin, before he finished with a chin jab. Causing the big man to fall backwards into the ground. "Ahhh..." The man grunted as soon as he hit the ground. "Fuckin..." He held his chin in pain.
Before the big man could recover his senses, Fox Boy mounted him and placed him in a Cross Choke. "Aaahhhh..." The man grunted as Fox Boy applied the blood choke. It only took a few seconds for the big man to lose his consciousness. With Fox Boy letting go of the choke as soon as the man stopped struggling.
"What the fuck?!" Then Jordan and Jesse approached him. "Did you seriously Karate chop the fat asshole?" Jordan asked him while doing a very sloppy knifehand strike in the air.
"No... I don't know Karate." Fox Boy did know Judo but not Karate.
"It doesn't matter, we need to restrain these two." Jesse informed them as he grabbed their weapons. "See if there's something in the car?" He instructed Fox Boy.
Fox Boy nodded before moving towards the car. Once he reached, he opened the rear door of the car in order to inspect the inside. The interior of the car was just as bad as the exterior. The car seats were damaged, there was left over food all over the floor, and there were strange looking stains at the ceiling. There wasn't really anything of interest in there, nothing other than a strange looking flag that had a strange looking logo. A skull with a snake wrapped around it, it reminded Fox Boy of a Pirate flag. There was also something written on the flag.
"Rattlers?"
Q AND A:
loving the story so far, just binged the whole thing. I also read the summary for the Disney and one piece stories on your main page and hope your write them soon!
Unfortunately, writting new stories is out of the question for now. I'm glad you liked it.
Feel like a appropriate response to Ellie asking why Fox was still around would be "because he is hard carrying this team" haha
Further proven in the next scene with the fuel making and water pump haha
The Normandies are certainly a well traveled lot if they nuked Moscow and still despite what it is do find it pretty metal that Fox Boy has taken apart in the destruction of whole cities can easily picture him and the other masked ones looking over a burning city and Fox just admiring the colours haha
Liked the detail to of that scientist having found immune people as well but couldn't get a cure from them because the dam infection is a fungus can't really make a normal "cure" for it hence why I think Joel was 100% in the right to save Ellie and the Fireflys were a bunch of idiots also love alongside hard carrying everyone Fox still made time to make a snow man
Oh joy Jordan and Leah which means the Washington lot which means that unbearable bitch Abby still hope Fox gets to go serial killer on that entire friend group
With Wolfgang then like the idea he got lucky killing the faceless very lucky and he joined the Normandies thinking he was hot shit thinking he'd be a masked one in no time but was horrified when he realised Fox Boy was actually excelling while he was only adequate and he wanted out when he realised he wouldn't amount to anything while Fox Boy did when he got his mask and like that Fox was more sad for losing Misery than Wolfgang
Well also now looking forward to when Fox Boy can be pampered
Noticed a comment about Fox Boy maybe not being able to even work a field in the end and please have him be able to Fox Boy needs a good ending that involves him being physically fine haha
Also personally hoping Jesse still bites it
Is more of a case of "We don't want him around, but need him around". Except for Dina.
Fox Boy had to help Jester fix a lot of stuff.
Considering that he had to escape the city first (Since the Faceless left him there with three days to escape before the city got nuked.), I don't think he enjoyed that much.
Imagine the Volatiles from Dying Light and imagine them as a Cordyceps Zombie. (That's the kind of infected that the russian scientist ended up creating.)
More like, he's going to have to go Solid Snake and save all of their asses.
Fox Boy and Wolfgang are the classic Talent Versus Training:
Wolfgang was naturally talented, being fundamentaly better than Fox Boy in everything that he did, but he was arrogant and lazy, never making any attempt to improve himself, causinjg his skills atrophy and him getting into a point where pure talent wasn't going to cut it anymore.
Fox Boy on the other hand, had no memorable talent but had a lot of room for improvement. And everything he can do is the result of hard work and training.
You should.
Well...
Fox Boy would get depressed though.
Now the group has run into Leah and Jordan which means Abby, Owen, Mel, Manny, Nora and Nick are not far behind. This is going to be tough, especially when they learn about Tommy who is brother to Joel Miller. Although capturing Jordan and Leah means they have hostages, sure hope they can treat Leah, she is no good to them dead. It'd be unwise to engage in combat with Abby's crew, Fox Boy, Ellie, Dina, Maria and Jesse are still in recovery from the Normandies' attack on Jackson, and the Normandies might be pursuing them, Jesse and Maria got the least damage but still.
Abby won't accept Joel's dead, not liking the idea of her revenge being denied, and wasting five years of her life for nothing which I have no complaints about. The problem, is that it means diplomacy will be tough, and more likely chance of a fight. If comes to a fight, Fox Boy is going to need to play taking them down very carefully. Perhaps giving them Leah so Mel can treat her medically would be a gesture of good faith.
Perhaps the group can show Abby's crew the tapes about the Normandies, and if they want to see Jackson, or what's left of it, go right ahead.
Wonder how far behind are the Normandies. Given how tough their masked people are, desperate times require desperate measures. The groups need each other more than they realize.
If Reaper has plans for Fox Boy more than Seattle, then Fox Boy is the main reason why the Normandies went to Seattle. Fox Boy might realize that the Normandies will continue to hunt him, even if he did take down Reaper, Ghost Head, Jester and Venus, the Supreme Leader would still be out there and would not let such a offense against the Normandies go. Fox Boy leaves to keep Ellie and Dina safe.
Unfortunately for them, another group got them first.
Sadly, after the current mess is resolved, most of her friends won't have anymore patience towards her.
Tommy left the camera at the hospital.
Reaper knows exatly where Fox Boy is at all times.
The Supreme Leader is a different problem entirely.
At the beginning of the story it seems to be relaxed but secretly there is tension in Tommy and Ellie. This episode shows the dissatisfaction of Fox Boy through Ellie and Tommy's expression But also saw some lovely moments from the character Dina.
- When Fox boy answered questions about his repair abilities, he said he had repaired unmanned aerial vehicles before. Including being in the city bombing in Moscow as well A question arises in your mind that the protagonist's people will fight with anything? Even though the factions had joined together, they still did not know how they would defeat the Normandy faction.
- Suspect Leah and Jordan wouldn't play any more roles. secretly disappointed as well
- Will fox boy be able to finish building a snowman?
If we didn't meet today good afternoon good evening and good night too
Only Dina wants Fox Boy around.
The Normandies aren't the problem. The Masked Ones are.
They weil actually.
He did.
Same...
Wonderful!
WONDERFUL!
Obrigado pelo capítulo incrível, Autor-San. Como não amar essa Fanfic é incrível.
De nada...
Thank you very much for the chapter.
The whole chapter gave a lot of information, the Russians almost destroyed the world, again?, and the Normandies have Hydrogen bombs?, how the hell are the protagonists going to deal with that.
I need the reaction of Ellie, Tommy and Abby's group to that incident in Russia, I swear I'm going to laugh like crazy when they realize that they could have released that horror in all the continent.
Ellie and Tommy will be depressed for a while, and now that Abby's group is there, the tension will be huge if they accidentally reveal that their goal to come there was to kill Joel (RIP), Fox Boy along with Ellie are going to roper bones .
I can't wait for the next chapter.
You're welcome.
They only had one though.
Tommy and Ellie will have the same reaction while Abby will not react well at all.
Pretty much. It's not like Joel having people wanting to kill him is anything new. Not quite, but close enough.
