It was six in the morning on Rhodes Island. The night shifts were rejoicing at the fact that they would soon finish their work. And the early risers were already starting to go about their regular business. Nearl returned to the gym ready for an early morning workout alone after three days of recovery. But to her surprise, as she passed the door, she saw Sebastian running quickly on a treadmill with sweat on his forehead and Dobermann watching him with her arms crossed a little further away. The knight of Kazimierz approached the perro. Already equipped in her refurbished plate armor.

Nearl- Hello Dobermann.

Dobermann- Oh Nearl, welcome back.

Nearl- Thank you. What are you doing here so early?

Dobermann- I was supposed to set up a training session for our novice operators. But I ran into the doctor and I'm wondering how long it will take him to stop running...

Nearl- How long have you been spying on him?

Dobermann- About three quarters of an hour...

She looked over at the doctor and noticed that he had headphones on.

Nearl- Do you think he even noticed us?

Dobermann- I don't think so.

Nearl- What did I miss during my remission?

Dobermann- Not much. You can already see some improvements since the doctor took over. He's relearning the ropes very quickly. We've also been testing his strategy skills.

Nearl- So what? You too Dobermann know his reputation before his amnesia, and I don't want to fight for someone who will sacrifice me and my friends. As smiling as he is if his reputation is to his credit...

The perro smiled, something very rare for her.

Dobermann- And that's where you're wrong, we already did a field mission to destroy a bandit camp with the reserve teams A1 and A4, the doctor was with us I was there in observation and the doc in command. I saw him in action, he refused to take unnecessary risks and in the end we cleaned up the camp without a scratch. Even though it was four times bigger than our information said.

Nearl- After what happened at Chernobog I would have expected him to take care of it himself.

Dobermann- That was after...

The Kuranta turned her head towards the drill instructor intrigued.

Dobermann- When we were on our way out it turned out that the bandits had made an alliance with Sarkaz mercenaries. They had just arrived, about a hundred of them.

The knight got a shiver down her spine as she was afraid to ask about the death and injury toll.

Dobermann- Almost all of us made it out intact.

Nearl- Almost?

Dobermann- As soon as we came under enemy fire, the doctor covered us and asked us to retreat so he could keep them busy. He managed to kill them while we were getting to safety, he came back riddled with arrows and cuts all over, he even had one arrow right through his spine, Ansel even said his spinal cord was cut, but still he could walk.

Nearl- But how-?!

Dobermann- I don't know. Later on after the medics treated his wounds, I asked him what was going through his mind, you know what he said? That he would rather put his life in danger than two of ours. I honestly don't know how he's still alive.

The two young women looked towards the doctor who was still running.

Dobermann- But here he is today, without a scratch.

Nearl- Still you said almost, why ?

Dobermann- Oh, Ansel mocked him and said he looked like a porcupine because of all the arrows inside his body, so the doctor punched him and now ansel got a nasty bruise.

The radiant knight chuckled at the idea of a Sebastian porcupine but the drill sergeant talked to her again cutting her thoughts.

Dobermann- Don't say it to him, he was pretty touchy about that.

Nearl- The more the time pass, the more i thinkg that his amnesia was more beneficial than anything else.

Dobermann- Indeed. Well, I'll leave you to it, I've got some rookies to bully- um, to train...

The knight from Kazimierz approached Sebastian who noticed her and consequently took off his headphones.

Sebastian- Nearl, nice to see you finally back in shape.

He said with a smile forming on his lips.

Nearl- And I'm glad I don't have to stay in the infirmary anymore.

Sebastian- You were badly injured, you can be glad you were only in the infirmary for three days. Anyone else would have died from the same attacks you did.

Nearl- Anyone but you.

There was a second of silence.

Nearl- You took a Talulah fireball head-on without a scratch when I almost died and it burned the concrete to the ground, and a high-powered crossbow bolt that could have taken my arm off. Not to mention what happened during your mission when I was recovering.

Sebastian- ... What do you want me to say, I'm a man who can endure.

Nearl- There are differences between being able to endure and... this.

She said, pointing to some barely visible scars that seemed to shrink every time you stopped looking at them. While the doctor just shrugged.

Nearl- I'm surprised to see you here.

He laughed slightly.

Sebastian- Gotta keep that divine body in shape. Seriously, I needed a little exercise, I've been doing nothing but reading our operators' files, doing paperwork or reading books from my library to catch up on the knowledge I've lost due to my amnesia. I think if I was going to sit around doing nothing for any longer than that I would have gone insane. It's not that I don't like reading, but I don't like standing still for long.

The doctor was barely recognizable, he was now much larger and more muscular judging by his perfectly shaped arms and with the absence of the disturbing thinness he was now infinitely more attractive.

Nearl- Do you have a library? Could I take a look at it? I- If you want of course, it's just that I enjoy literature.

Sebastian- Of course you can come in anytime.

Nearl- Well, as a knight of Kazimierz I owe you for taking a shot at me.

Sebastian- I told you that you don't owe me anything. You won't give up like that will you?

Nearl- No sorry but it's in my code, I'll keep pushing until I pay my debt.

He smirked and got off the treadmill.

Sebastian- You're much more code-abiding than the other knights these days. How far does this debt extend?

She looked down and began to think.

Nearl- Well I would have surely lost my arm if I had taken that second crossbow bolt and therefore my ability to fight so my debt to you is huge.

She looked up at the doctor to see that his eyes had darkened as if those eyes were hidden in the shadows and a strange oppressive aura emanated from him.

Sebastian- Don't worry I have an idea of how you can repay your debt... hehehe...

The kuranta started to feel more and more uncomfortable.

Sebastian- Can I pat your tail ?

Nearl- ...?

His dark look disappeared for a silly smile.

Nearl- Uh yes... Why?

Sebastian- I don't know, it looks so soft and fluffy that it makes me want to stroke it.

Nearl- O-okay...

She was surprised that the doctor's request was so simple, touching a tail wasn't taboo or anything, for some people stroking their animal parts felt good but not more than a cat when you scratch its ears, especially since Nearl didn't take particular care of it, sure it had volume but that's where it stopped. She turned and walked away from the doctor, wagging her large blonde tail.

Sebastian- I'm going...

He bent down and plunged his hands into the furry mass. Nearl instantly felt an extremely pleasant tingling sensation radiate throughout her body she gritted her teeth and looked up in a flash of pleasure.

Nearl- 'H-How?! It's not supposed to feel this good!'

Sebastian was also enjoying what he was doing, maybe more than he should, the softness of the fur, its volume and warmth brought a smile to his lips. He began to plunge his hands a little deeper into Nearl's bushy tail and she fell to her knees in pleasure as she tried to hold back the noises she was making. Once Nearl fell to her knees Sebastian plunged his hands with even more intensity into the young woman's tail, too preoccupied with his obsessions over the caresses to hear the moans of pleasure from the glorious radiant knight of Kazimierz who was breathing heavily. Sebastian stroked his head against the large mass of fur swimming in bliss he reopened his eyes towards Nearl and could see her face, she was red as a tomato, her strong breath was forming condensation and her eyes were almost spiraling. He realized what state the kuranta was in and stopped stroking her tail.

Sebastian- Oh shit sorry ! I let myself get caught up and-! (What the hell did I do?! it's been three days and I'm about to get arrested for sexual harassment?!)

Nearl- You can keep going... I like it...

The emerald-eyed giant lost all his sanity in the second and started to caress again, earning a cry of pleasure from the Kuranta. Plunging his hands again in the warm fur of the young woman throwing both in a torrent of pleasure. The stroking continued for a few minutes until Nearl was close to passing out but stopped abruptly when Sebastian was dazzled by a flash.

Sebastian- 'a camera?'

He looked at Nearl's condition as she muttered incomprehensible things and began to panic. If someone had actually taken a picture of him, he might have the wrong idea and the picture would be shared all around the base.

Sebastian- 'Amiya and Kal'tsit will kill me!'

He stood up quickly and looked in the direction of the flash to see someone running from the gym.

Dobermann- 'Did he see me? No he didn't see me...'

she wondered as she walked quickly down the hallways, afraid her reputation would take a hit. She turned left to head for the dorms to pick up the operators who had to train. She heard footsteps behind her and turned quickly to see nothing.

Dobermann- I'm getting paranoid...

The Perro resumed her calm walk, she entered a corridor towards the dormitories that ended in a dead end, she heard footsteps again but this time more distinctly, she turned around to see the doctor with a darkened look, a frightening aura emanating from him.

Sebastian- May I know what you are afraid of, Dobermann?

Dobermann- What are you talking about?

she asked, her tone and facial expression cold. But inside she was panicking.

Sebastian- Aren't you ashamed to take pictures of others without their knowledge?

He pulled out a phone from his back and looked at the photo gallery, the phone Dobermann instinctively recognized, she looked in her pockets to see that her phone was gone. Immediately she realized that Sebastian had somehow managed to steal her phone.

Sebastian- Not just me and Nearl... I wonder what Noir Corne and Yato think of this one...

Dobermann- Give it back!

Sebastian- No no no... I don't think you're in a position of power... It would be a shame if I told the others... Oh heck I deleted the picture of me and Nearl though...

Dobermann- What do you want?

She literally found herself with her back to the wall in the cul de sac while Sebastian was still smiling sickly at her.

Sebastian- Your silence... And your ears they seem to be nice to touch as well...

He slowly raised his hand as Dobermann began to worry, afraid of suffering the same dark fate as Nearl just before her.

Dobermann- Back off! O-or i pull out my weapon ! No I-! Aaaaaaahhhh! *moan*

After that there were only moans of pleasure that remained audible...

After returning to his quarters following the previous incidents, Sebastian washed and changed into his shirt and tie, he closed his closet and heard someone knock on his door.

Sebastian- Come in!

He went down the stairs and saw Amiya enter his office with a bright smile on her face.

Amiya- Hello Dokutah!

Sebastian- Hello Amiya... Let's try one more time. Repeat after me. Doc.

Amiya- Doc...

Sebasitan- tor.

Friend- tor...

Sebastian- Doctor.

Amiya- Dokutah!

Sebastian- Ok I give up... So, what's on the agenda dear assistant?

He said with a smile on his face.

Amiya- A little paperwork, we received a part of the equipment orders you asked for the operators and I have another part of the files of our operators for you as well as those of the recruitment.

Sebastian- Is that all?

Amiya- Oh I almost forgot, we need you for a training maneuver this afternoon.

Sebastian- Thanks for everything. Ready for the day, donkey?

He said, giving a flick on the forehead to add to his provocation.

Amiya- I am not a donkey!

Sebastian- I know, I know... It's just that I like to annoy you Amiya.

Amiya- It's not funny...

Sebastian- But it makes me laugh. I'm sorry, i'll make it up for you...

He stroked her head making her blush and lowering her bunny ears.

Sebastian- Shall we go? I want to start by checking the shipments.

Amiya- I'll follow you!

After a few minutes of walking and talking in the corridors of Rhodes Island the two companions arrived at the storage room where the resources were arriving and being stored, upon arrival they were greeted by Fang and Exusiai.

Exusiai - Yo Leader!

The sanktah called out with her jovial smile and v-fingers, Fang put down the crate she was carrying as well to come and talk with the two leaders of Rhodes Island.

Sebastian- Hi girls, we came to check the order I made.

Fang- We received it less than an hour ago. Please follow me, Doctor.

The kuranta led them to a huge black crate stored near a vehicle.

Exusiai- Can I know what this is? Because it's so heavy... We had to ask Sideroca to move it...

Sebastian- that heavy? It's just basic tools and materials for the workshops. That was one of our main needs. The vehicles are falling apart, some of the rooms are falling apart, the weapons are jamming or breaking, but now we have enough to fix everything.

He opened the crate and checked that everything was there.

Sebastian- Great. Now we have something to work a little more efficiently.

He closed the crate and began to carry it.

Sebastian- Thank you girls and tell the others that if they need to repair their equipment they can do so in the workshop.

He bowed his head and smiled slightly at them as the two young women stood in awe.

Sebastian- Bye!

He left the storage room followed closely by Amiya who waved goodbye.

Exusiai- Tell me, how much does this crate weigh?

Fang- 230 kilograms...

Exusiai- I was also thinking...

Outside the warehouse the two companions headed for the nearby workshop, Amiya opened the door for the doctor who caught the attention of Mayer and Vulcan,

Sebastian- Spare parts delivery.

He put the huge crate in the corner of the room and clapped his hands to remove the dust.

Vulcan- Wow, that's quite a load...

Sebastian- It's probably not enough, but it's all I could get with the budget I had. But we're getting another shipment next week.

The Anaty opened the crate and his eyes lit up at the variety and quality of the pieces.

Sebastian- Hey Mayer!

Mayer- Yes...?

She stood up and looked at the doctor.

Sebastian- No meeboo with it! It's to fix everything that's falling apart around here.

She received a flick on the forehead cutting off all her crazy robotic intentions.

Mayer- B-but-...

Sebastian- No buts! You've got enough already.

The young woman pulled out her ultimate weapon, she looked at the doctor and gave him puppy eyes.

Mayer- Just one...

The emerald-eyed giant could hardly contain himself at the explosion of cuteness in front of him and tried to maintain his serious facial expression.

Sebastian- Low blow on that Mayer. But I said No...

She clutched his shirt redoubling the intensity of her puppy eyes.

Sebastian- N-no...

Mayer- Oh...

She let go of him and went to take care of whatever she was working on, disappointed, the doctor took a deep breath to regain his composure and then turned to the Forte.

Sebastian- Watch what she's doing.

He walked out of the workshop still with Amiya by his side.

Sebastian- I swear she's going to give me a heart attack with all her bullshit.

Amiya- Language! I should note that you have a weakness for puppy eyes...

Sebastian- Please don't do that...

Amiya- Well, now back to the office for the paperwork...

Sebastian- You didn't need to remind me...

It had been a few minutes since the training exercises had begun in the afternoon in the tactical training room, which was actually a part of the huge gym for the operators, sweat forming on the foreheads of the operators who were fighting and following the orders of their commanders. Dobermann and Sebastian each had their own teams and had them compete against each other, with many of the other operators watching and enjoying the entertainment. The doctor began to gain the upper hand against the drill sergeant, smirking slightly. When Dobermann saw this she lost her composure and stepped out onto the field drawing her whip, she began to fight alongside her team gradually regaining the ground she had lost. Sebastian gritted his teeth, looked at the operators who were spectating and saw them laughing. Losing his temper he looked over to Midnight who was watching the fight standing near where Sebastian had left his sword and whistled in his direction drawing stares. Midnight understood the doctor's intention and then the sarkaz threw his sword at him with both catched it and then He cracked his neck and jumped from the high position he and the observers were in, landing with a heavy thud a few feet below, shaking the metal of the ground. It was at this moment that people understood that the fight will took anothe turn. His team froze and then the Perro ordered Kroos and Adnachiel in his team to shoot at him but Sebastian parried the practice arrows with his sword and then when Noir Corne charged at him trying to put a shield hit on him Sebastian retaliated with a punch in his shield that sent him flying to the other end of the room with a cry of surprise from the oni causing the few operators in the path of the human projectile to fall. Impressing all the witnesses of the scene except those who were there during Chernobog's mission.

Dobermann- You are not good at playing by the rules...

Sebastian- Neither are you...

She stood on guard out of pure respect to warn her opponent of the fight that was about to come. The doctor stood guard as well, raising the weapon with one of his hands and resting it on his shoulder. The Perro was the first to attack, the attack of her whip directly directed at Sebastian's torso, when the tip of the whip was about to reach the doctor he grabbed his opponent's weapon wrapping it around his forearm and immobilizing her. Immediately Dobermann sent lightning through her weapon with a slight smile on his face. The electricity reached the Doctor and to everyone's surprise he didn't even flinch as lightning flashed through his body and smoke began to emanate from him, after a few seconds the electricity stopped without any effect on his target.

Catapult- Can you explain to me why we train to defend him in the simulations?

Midnight- No, you don't understand, we don't defend him from the enemies, we defend the enemies from being slaughtered by the doctor.

Said the two teammates with a tone of humor.

Sebastian- Is that all you have?

With a flick of his wrist he grabbed the whip more tightly around his wrist and pulled it with a big movement, snatching it out of the instructor's hands with his phenomenal strength.

Sebastian- I guess it's my turn...

He began to advance towards the unarmed Dobermann and her team with his sword in hand and looking menacing.

Kal'tsit- DOCTOR!

Sebastian froze and everything that made him scary fell away, the feline was at the entrance of the gym where the combat exercise was taking place. All the witnesses of the scene also began to be afraid of Dr. Kal'tsit who advanced towards Sebastian. Sebastian regained his composure even in the face of his colleague's intimidating presence.

Kal'tsit- I thought I told you that I didn't want to see you fight.

He sighed.

Kal'tsit- Do you enjoy playing fight? On the field you won't last ten seconds acting like that. You know, Doctor, in the field you won't be able to give up when you want.

She noticed that the doctor's gaze had darkened as a tall figure armed with a hammer and shield walked behind the feline.

Ace- Mrs. Kal'tsit, did you read Chernobog's report?

Although she was surprised at first, she could see what the elite operator was getting at.

Kal'tsit- Of course, but no matter what he did there, if he goes to the battlefield he will be more of a danger to himself and others than a help.

Ace- Please stop being in bad faith, if the doctor hadn't fought there there would have been dozens of deaths at least. I don't know what's gotten into you, but if it had been anyone else but the doctor, you would have done anything to get him to fight with us.

Kal'tsit- I guess I need to show you then. Blaze! Ace I need you over here too.

The two elite operators approached Dr. Kal'tsit as W emerged from her hiding place with a demonic smile on her face, the feline looked at her suspiciously, to which the mercenary simply replied.

W- I want to fight him too...

Kal'tsit- Good. Let me be clear, do not let him win.

The three operators turned to Sebastian whose eyes had darkened.

Ace- Blaze. Don't hold back.

The feline looked at her fellow elite operator intrigued and then switched on her chainsaw, behind them W drew her assault rifle and cocked it ready to fire. The operators present on the training ground moved aside ready for the confrontation. Dobermann, who was at the side, raised her arm in the air.

Dobermann- Start!

Ace- Godspeed.

Immediately Ace found himself in front of the doctor, who was already bringing his hammer down on the doctor with all his strength, Sebastian, far from letting himself be hit, gave two sword blows fast enough that it would have been impossible for anyone to dodge or parry them, The first blow sliced Ace's hammer in two, rendering it unusable, while the second sliced the thin piece of plastic in the middle of Ace's sunglasses, dividing them into two parts that fell to the ground, but it didn't even leave the slightest trace on Ace's skin, revealing his eyes wide open because of the shock, while the doctor's eyes inspired fear. His eyes were cold and calculating, but behind them lay an almost uncontrollable brutality. Then Sebastian followed up with a punch to Ace's shield, the sound of his fist against the metal echoing throughout the gym, the shield shattered into a thousand pieces and then the defender behind his protection flew up to crash into one of the metal walls and fell heavily to the ground. A second passed, then Ace raised an arm and gave a thumbs up although remaining on the ground. The witnesses to the scene were also shocked at the defeat of one of their elite operators in just two seconds. Blaze, seeing this, felt instinctive panic and immediately used her arts and the extension of her chainsaw, understanding that the doctor had no difficulty in beating an operator who could compete on equal terms with her. So as Ace had warned she must not hold back, or she would lose in seconds. The sound of her chainsaw roaring louder than ever and the lines of flame that formed around the feline alerted Sebastian who turned to her and almost immediately he found himself in front of her ready to bring down his sword on the young woman, he would have almost succeeded if she was not an elite operator in-extremis, Blaze managed to block the doctor's sword with her weapon which crashed into the chain of the overheated chainsaw, but to her astonishment when she looked at the doctor's black blade she saw that it was not heating at all even the jets of flame and heat it projected did not seem to bother the doctor although his clothes were smoking from the monstrous heat. They stayed a second or two in this position the feline overworked by the monstrous strength of his opponent before the latter turned his head suddenly somewhere else seeming to have heard something, he freed himself from the lock of weapons with Blaze and gave a blow of sword in the part of the engine that was cut in two, he followed up with an uppercut that Blaze managed to block but she was still sent about ten meters away because of the force, then he turned in a certain direction quickly before a shot rang out and then the doctor swung his sword in the air that generated a spray of sparks right into the void, then the crowd noticed what had just happened as the doctor was facing W.

Sebastian- You're not supposed to use real bullets you know.

W- But it wouldn't be as much fun without a little danger...

Kal'tsit- DOCTOR! Stop it right now!

Sebastian- Stop it? Stop it?! You know doctor, i won't be able to give up when i want.

The sarkaz raised her assault rifle with a sick smile on her face, no one had time to stop him as a series of shots rang out on automatic, Sebastian gave a series of sword moves in the air each one throwing a spray of sparks testifying to the bullets that had just been parried by the doctor, each time impressing a little more by realizing what many had thought impossible until then, then giving her craziest smile the sarkaz drew her grenade launcher with only one of her hands and immediately fired at the doctor who gave a sword blow to the projectile which did not fail to explode making the doctor move back a few meters against his will as he slid on the ground because of the shock wave that had sent the frailest around them to the ground. Sebastian looked towards her and W could see with horror that the doctor was angry and his irises had turned blood red. So were all the bystanders who hadn't seen him angry since Chernobog where the deaths were counted in hundreds because of his rage and even those who weren't there on the mission had never seen him with anything but a smile on his face.

Sebastian- Do you have any idea how many people you could have hurt...?

The sarkaz immediately took her assault rifle and fired at him as the doctor's posture changed completely, he bent his knees and disappeared, raising a cloud of air, thanks to her seasoned reflexes W could follow him and see that he had just moved in a leap over a wall at superhuman speed, leaving only an afterimage behind him, She shot at him in automatic mode once again, except that he dodged again, moving at a speed that was once again impossible by biology or even physics, the afterimage trails sweeping across the room like waterspouts because of the displacements that forced some people to close their eyes, but at some point, by dint of shooting. ..

*click*

Her magazine was empty, she evacuated the one that was in her weapon and grabbed a full magazine in less than a second but while her full magazine was still in the air she felt a light breeze pass by her right side then suddenly, her weapon and the magazine she was holding fell in several dozen pieces on the ground cut cleanly. By instinct she dropped her weapons and immediately turned around drawing a combat knife but she felt an embrace around her throat before taking off from the ground, her breathing ways almost blocked by the hand that was clutching her neck. She opened one of her eyes to see that it was indeed the doctor who was strangling her with a few red sparks flying from his sword. The sarkaz tried to attack with her combat knife but Sebastian planted his weapon in the steel floor before grabbing W's wrist and then...

*crack*

If it wasn't for the hand that prevented her from speaking she would have screamed in pain as the pain flooded through her completely dislocated arm, the cracking sound heard throughout the gym making the operators gag, W dropping her knife unable to feel or control her arm. The doctor took the pistol he had in his holster and pointed the tip of the barrel at the mercenary's jaw.

Sebastian- I'm not forgetting that you were part of the Reunion. So if you ever do shit like that again that hurts my operators, I'll rip off both your arms before I leave you in the desert to rot. Is that clear?

He released some pressure in his hand to let her speak.

W-...

Sebastian- Is that clear?!

He said as he pressed the barrel of his gun under W's chin a little more.

W- ...Like Crystal...

He nodded before putting his handgun back in his holster and then he let W fall back on her two legs before grabbing her arm again to fix it, the sarkaz letting out a sharp grunt of pain. Then he tore off his ground sword which seemed intact even after having pierced several centimeters of steel. Then with a blink of an eye his eyes turned back to their emerald green.

He glanced over at the elite operators he had just beaten up to see Ace and Blaze exhausted next to each other. He turned to Kal'tsit and looked into her eyes, which were set in disbelief. She was struck with a realization, his amnesia had not altered his memories as she thought, it had not turned him into a killing machine, he already was and W was right.

Ace- I managed to block a Catastrophe meteor with this shield but one of his punches reduced it to atom... I think that says enough about its strength.

He said as he sat on the ground and turned his head toward Kal'tsit.

She turned and headed for the exit door.

Kal'tsit- Don't get killed in the field.

She shoved her hands in her pockets and left so that no one would see the tears that were streaming down her cheeks. Most of the operators were stunned, he had beaten not just one but two elite operators, not to mention W who was a legendary mercenary and a renowned fighter who showed reflex strength and speed far superior to ninety percent of the operators.

Amiya- Doktah!

The young cautus ran to his side furious. Once he was within range she punched him just below the ribs, nearly knocking him over.

Amiya- But you are completely crazy!

She turned to W who had resumed her usual playful smile.

Amiya- And you, why did you shoot the doktah with live ammunition! We'll talk about that later!

W- Relax, I didn't mean to kill him donkey...

Amiya- I am not a donkey!

Sebastian- Amiya calm down... Look, I'm in one piece, so everything is fine!

Amiya- But if you continue like this you will hurt yourself!

Sebastian- Don't worry, there are still competent doctors in Rhodes Island who will treat me. If they don't hit me when I get hurt!

He finished his sentence by turning to Gavial.

Gavial- You will never understand my medicine.

Blaze- And we couldn't even touch him... It's almost depressing... He's really on another level... What a humiliation...

Ace- Blaze...

His eyes were dark.

Ace- I'll teach you a technique to use on the doctor. But be careful, the use of this technique could kill you...

Blaze- Ace, what the-

Ace- Doc! Watch out, you have a spider on your back!

Sebastian's face went white as snow.

Sebastian- Ah what?! Where?! Ah!

The doctor struggled in a panic attack for several seconds to remove the arachnid he had on him under the incomprehension of witnesses to the scene except Amiya who also began to panic before the doctor who lost his composure. Ace started to laugh which the Cautus noticed and made him understand that there was no small beast on the doctor.

Amiya- Doktah! Doktah! Calm down! There is nothing!

The giant with emerald eyes came back to earth and saw Ace laughing like an idiot.

Ace - Even after your amnesia you are still afraid of that!

Sebastian- But how can you not be afraid of it?! It has long legs, hair everywhere, fangs, venom, lays eggs under the skin and shoots slimy threads!

And that's when Sebastian's main weakness appeared, his severe arachnophobia as the spectators' jaws reached the ground.

Dobermann- Right away he looks much less scary...

Nearl- I think so too...

Ace- You know doc, at some point you're going to have to get rid of that fear...

He pulled his two-handed sword from the ground and approached Ace.

Sebastian- Get up. Second round.

Ace- Hey stop I was just kidding! It was just a joke! Wait! I have a wife and a son! Stop it!

Dobermann- I didn't say anything...

Nearl- Me too...

Ace got his ass kicked like never before.

Sebastian was walking in the corridors without Amiya by his side, the latter having gone away to talk with W. The doctor felt sorry for the mercenary sarkaz, he had already been argued by Amiya and damn it she was really becoming a scary person during this time. As he was about to turn right into a hallway to get to his office he noticed something. To the left was another hallway where there was only one door at the end which unlike the dormitories did not have a metal plate on the door with a name on it. On the walls there were also no colored bands that usually serve as orientation signs. Intrigued, he walked down the corridor, opened the door and entered, the room was large, extremely luminous because of the immense bay window which constituted the left wall, but completely empty. He wondered what this room could be used for, and then what he could install in it, he first thought of a power station, then of a factory. Thanks to his extraordinary hearing, Sebastian heard Noir Corne and Midnight talking in the corridor.

Midnight- I could have a drink...

Black- So will I, even if Yato might kill me...

Sebastian laughed slightly, he too would like a drink. Then a light bulb went off in his head and he snapped his fingers and left, closing the door behind him. Now he had to visit a certain vampire sarkaz and order some furniture... His wallet would bleed again...

- A few days later -

Dobermann was walking back to her quarters when she suddenly heard a familiar laugh coming from her left, she turned and saw Fang and Beagle coming out of a room at the end of the hallway, smiles on their faces and talking.

Beagle- See I told you they were good.

Fang- I have to hand it to you... who do you think made them?

Beagle- I think it was him.

The two friends began to walk away making the rest of the conversation impossible to hear for the drill sergeant she walked to the door at the end of the hallway and could see that there was now a sign installed. More stylized than usual she read the sign. "Honey moon, coffee and bar". She frowned, since when did they have a coffee shop here? And why hadn't anyone told her about it? Then she remembered that she didn't have many friends here to chat with... She opened the door and went inside, indeed there was everything one could imagine of a bar, on the left stuck to the bay window which gave a view on the endless desert that Rhodes Island ran, there were wooden tables and chairs with a juke box at the back. on the right there was a piano in the corner, as well as-

Dobermann- Doctor?

The man behind the bar turned around with a beaming smile on his face. The bar in question, also made of noble wood, stretched for a few meters, and further on three glass dishes were placed on the bar, in which were pastries. Behind Sebastian were several shelves filled with alcohols, teas, coffee beans and other utensils.

Sebastian- Dobermann... Welcome, can I get you anything?

She sat down at a stool at the bar.

Dobermann- I didn't know they had opened a café here...

Sebastian- And yes... After a long discussion with Dr. Kal'tsit we managed to agree that giving the staff an opportunity to relax could help improve the productivity of our operators.

Dobermann- Really?

Sebastian- I wanted to go somewhere nice to rest.

Dobermann- Now I believe you.

Sebastian- Anyway, can I get you anything?

Dobermann- What do you have there?

Sebastian- Cherry pie and blueberry muffins.

Dobermann- Then I'll have a blueberry muffin and you have mate?

Sebastian- Yep.

He turned to a jar on one of the shelves and began to prepare the infusion.

Sebastian- Straight from Bolivar.

He served him a cup of his infusion and his cake.

Sebastian- Good appetite.

He said with a guenine smile.

Dobermann- Thank you.

The mate reminded her of Bolivar with some form of nostalgia, she started her muffin and was sent into raptures. She closed her eyes as a smile formed on her lips. She opened her eyes again and took on a cold facial expression and saw Sebastian leaning against the wall behind him, visibly shocked.

Dobermann- What?

Sebastian- Your smile must be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen after my amnesia.

The Perro started to blush and stood up abruptly with her battle whip in hand. As Sebastian realized what he had just said, he raised his hands defensively.

Dobermann- Don't ever say that again!

Sebastian- Sorry! Sorry!

She looked left and right to make sure no one was there and then sat back down, her face still red.

Dobermann- Do you really want to be forgiven?

Sebastian- Yes!

Dobermann- Then you know what you have to do...

She looked away too embarrassed and wiggled her dog ears.

Sebastian- Does it feel that good?

Dobermann- Shut up! A-and do it...

He moved his hand closer and began to stroke the ears, feeling the warmth of the skin and the softness of the hair under his fingers, the instructor began to bite her lower lip and wriggle with pleasure, plunging both into pure bliss. This continued for a few minutes, with Dobermann trying to hide her moans and Sebastian enjoying the caresses he was giving. But then he stopped abruptly and quickly began to wipe a glass.

Sebastian- Someone is coming!

Instantly the instructor resumed a normal pose and wiped away the red from her face from embarrassment. Kal'tsit opened the door and came to sit at the bar, placing a folder on the counter.

Sebastian- Kal.

Kal'tsit- Doctor. Dobermann.

Sebastian- Can I get you anything?

Kal'tsit- Just a coffee, I came to talk to you.

Sebastian turned and began to prepare the Feline's drink.

Sebastian- And what did you want to talk to me about?

Kal'tsit- We're going to Kjerag in a week, in a small group, you're coming with us.

Sebastian- Oh and why?

He put the steaming cup in front of the doctor.

Kal'tsit- Meeting with Enciodas Silverash.

Sebastian- The Silverash?! Karlan's boss?

Kal'tsit- Himself. His sister is infected and he is willing to negotiate her internment at Rhodes.

She brought the cup to her lips and began to drink, noticing that she had her coffee in her favorite way without specifying how she wanted it.

Sebastian- Gee, I had heard a rumor on the internet that his sister was infected. His political enemies must have spread the word.

Kal'tsit- Exactly.

She finished her cup and put it on the bar.

Kal'tsit- Anyway, be on deck by 8 a.m. Monday.

Sebastian- Yes ma'am.

The feline left.

Sebastian- And off I go to curdle abroad...

Nearl waited in the vehicle bay for a team to return from a mission, the sliding doors opened to reveal the nighttime desert and the Rhodes Island vehicles were quickly caught by the docking cables and pulled up. A vehicle door opened and out stepped a white-haired cautus with a demolition hammer and two of Nearl's sarkaz friends.

Nearl- Shining! Liz! Welcome back.

Nightingale- Margaret thank you!

Shining- Hi Margaret.

Nearl- How did your mission go?

Nightingale- It was fine, although we had some problems with the lupos.

As she said this two lupos came out of the truck the first one had a crossbow, a gargantuan purple and white tail on her back and she was being chased by another lupo with gray hair and red clothes whispering things about the tails. Then the lupo known as Projekt Red stopped and seemed to smell something in the air.

Red- it smells like a wolf... There was a wolf here...

Provence- So we have a new lupo?

Nearl- No...

Red- Fluffy tail.

Provence- AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Nightingale- Other than that everything went well.

Shining- Did we miss anything?

Nearl- We went on an operation to Chernobog to rescue the famous doctor.

Nightingale- We heard about what happened there... Is everyone okay?

Nearl- Yes we made it back in one piece thanks to Dr. Sebastian.

Shining- Wait Margaret did you say Dr. Sebastian?

Nearl- Yes why?

Shining- Can you describe him to me?

Nearl- He's huge, black hair and beard, olive complexion and green eyes, handsome man... Ah and he has a scar on his left eyebrow.

The face of the caped sarkaz decomposed which worried her two companions who had rarely seen her express fear. Shining placed both hands on the shoulders of the knight of Kazimierz.

Shining- Did you see him fight?!

Nearl- Yes! Calm down Shining! You should have seen it, he took down Blaze, Ace and a former elite mercenary named W. What is your problem with him anyway?

Shining- If this man is who I think he is then he saved my life in Kazdel...

She clutched her scepter of arts as tightly as she could, remembering awful memories. And that memory that replayed like a flash in her head every time she thought of that fateful day, the day of betrayal. The day her allegiance to Theresa had nearly killed her. Her former comrades in the confessors were just as good or better than the legendary emperor's blades. And yet it took only minutes for their limbs to be strewn across the floor, she saw herself in the midst of the body parts, terrified of a blood-covered figure in front of her when the person had just saved her.

Shining- I have to see him and thank him, where is he?!

Nearl- Shining I have to tell you he has amnesia.

She felt a twinge of sadness, if the person she wanted to thank so much, if the person she admired so much couldn't even remember it, it didn't have the same flavor for her.

Shining- I see...

Nightingale- He managed to beat them even though he has amnesia?

Nearl- As strange as it sounds he remembers how to fight. Not only that but he's so strong that I saw him destroy a building by throwing a crossbow bolt a mile away.

Nightingale- Wow that's almost scary...

Nearl- Don't say that he's really nice.

Nightingale- You really make me want to meet him.

Nearl- Come with me he must be at the Honey moon by now.

Nightingale- The what?

Nearl- Kal'tsit left a coffee shop open for operators who have free time. And Dr. Sebastian runs it when he has time. Come on, come with me.

Shining- Go on without me girls... I; I need some time alone.

The other two members of the followers understood and did not question Shining, knowing her solitary nature.

Shining- Ah please don't tell him about what I just told you about Kazdel.

Nearl and Nightingale nodded, trusting their friend, and left for the Honey Moon while Shining went to her quarters. As the Kuranta helped Nightingale walk through the halls of Rhodes Island, the Knight of Kazimierz remained pensive. What dark secrets could the world still hide about Sebastian...

A/N- Lore lore, and even more lore...
