The Dark Angel (REBOOTED)

Chapter 15

Sapphire dashes through the snow, using the blizzard as cover while he sneaks past guards on his way to the north to find the designer of Metal Gear Rex, Hal Emmerich.

Sapphire:~Thanks to this snow, I can sneak by easier.~

A raven caws at Sapphire and flies away, a small chill runs down his back. He knows something is coming.

Sapphire's comms ring and he dashes into a small building and kneels down in a corner to answer the call

Sapphire: What is it? Is something up?

Dominic: Sapphire, how close are you to finding Emmerich?

Sapphire: I'm close. But all these buildings look the same. I'm gonna have to search each of them.

Dante: Maybe that girl knows something. Call her.

Dominic: We don't even know her name Dante. She could be working with the enemy.

Obito: Maybe Winter knows something about her.

Sapphire: Good call. Winter. Winter come in.

Winter: I'm here boys. What's the situation?

Sapphire: We need info on a faunus that was stationed here. Grey haired wolf faunus.

Winter: Hm.

Winter types down on her tablet and her eyes widen at the photo of the girl they were talking about

Winter: Meryl?

Dante: Meryl? So that's her name.

Winter: Yes. Her name is Meryl Silverclaw. We...were bunk mates during our training days at Atlas. I haven't seen her in years. How is she...?

Dominic: She's as green as they come.

Winter: Yeah..she doesn't like guns. She wanted to be in data recovery but she was put in as a soldier. I guess old habits die hard.

Sapphire: We'll contact her. Over and out.

Sapphire ends the group call and contacts Meryl using the frequency Obito had acquired from President Baker

Meryl: Who is this?

Sapphire: My names not important right now. Are you Meryl?

Meryl: Who the hell are you??

Sapphire: Apart of the group of idiots that Ironwood sent here to die.

Meryl: You're with those two?

Sapphire: There's actually four of us.

Meryl: Ugh! Those bastards! How could they send children here?

Sapphire: They're desperate. And we're all orphaned children. If we fail, they could just cover up our deaths. It's what Atlas does...

Meryl: So you four just came here trying to be heroes? How stupid can you be?

Sapphire: I don't know, my team and I can be pretty stupid if we try.

Meryl: Uh huh, who the hell is even leading you guys on this? Ironwood?

Sapphire: No. We're not worth his time. Her name is Winter Schnee. She says you two know each other.

Meryl: Winter? I..I haven't seen her in years. She's leading you four?

Sapphire: Well...more like checking in from time to time. I guess she can't join us because she isn't expendable like us.

Meryl: I bet she's itching to get into the fight. She's always done the right thing.

Sapphire: Heh, yeah. That's her alright.
