Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 5🌒

      Commander held onto his cap as a jet flew close to the ground. Very quickly following it was Frost Spirit, who was in a skin tight body suit that zipped up from the groin to the neck. The new upgrade prooved useful as it reduced drag substantially.

      His stamina was also picking up as he was keeping up with the jet quite well, but wasn't able to catch it though. It was incredible how much progress he was making in the last two days since getting that letter.

      With the time frame in mind, the scouting mission should be back by tomorrow. Commander had been antsy as Scout had been away for so long. He had a spot ready in his office for that drawing too.

      "Move! Damnit!" Molten barked as he carried an extremely large crate over his head. The thing would definitely crush some poor towers if dropped on them. Instead of wearing the old and withered obsidian armor, he was in more military attire.

      He wore khaki pants with a heavy belt around his waist and the cover on top of him was the same color as his pants. The sleeves were rolled up to above his elbows and the tie under his collar was done excellently. Commander was surprised by the sudden appearance change, especially from Molten Boss of all titans.

      Commander moved before he was kicked aside. Molten wasn't very thrilled about his placement. He would usually show it through his aggressive attitude, but he seemed to have a niche for explosives. Commander began to think that maybe he could see if he would like to visit the mortars and maybe even the rocketeers.

      "Having fun just standing here?" Engineer whistled as she went up from behind Commander. Commander turned and huffed, "I've already checked up on trainings, they are going great. Weapons are still being tweaked on for our newcomers, but they are showing that they are exceeding past that point."

      "You do have a point, but you don't get as exciting results from fists as you do a missile!" Engineer touched the earpiece on her ear, "Alright, Bird. Meet me and Commander back at base. We can work on catching that jet some other time."

      It took a minute, but the two watched in awe as Frost Spirit began to glide down to them. He liked to take his time and rest his wings after being told to come back. It gave him a break and made sure he wasn't sending unwanted gusts of wind into the base.

      As he landed, he shrunk back down and strutted over to the two towers waiting for him. "Nice landing! We should prepare you for quick landings though," Engineer complimented.

      Frost Spirit simply nodded at the study. "Am I free to get my medicine? My hand is starting to hurt," he looked down at the bandaged hand. It wasn't broken thankfully, but it was definitely bruised to all hell. Medic said the hit should of broken some bone, but it seemed the bone was quite inforced. Frost Spirit didn't plan on being split open though to learn about it.

      "Oh yeah. Thanks for jogging my memory, Bird! Medic says that vegetable head's arm is back and he isn't as useless anymore. We can assign him!" Engineer told Commander. "He is? Please! Oh please let me come with you!" Frost Spirit begged down at Commander.

      Commander thought about it, then caved in. They had refused to let the ice titan visit since the incident. "Fine, but get your medicine first. We'll be in his room," Commander lead the small party of idiots to the medical building.

      The doors had been replaced since the incident. When they walked in, some seats and plants were missing, curtosy of Frost Spirit. Warden instantly stood up from his desk and glared. He wasn't afraid to actually break Frost Spirit's hand this time.

      Bunny Medic was made aware that Frost Spirit was allowed back after getting his medicine. Commander and Engineer left the titan while they went back to talk to Sinister.
