Chapter 14: More Allies

The crew drive to the facility.

AJ: "Damn, this place got torched"

Archimedes: "But luckily, there's still a few guys here"

Bronx: "Since me and Archimedes know everyone here, we're gonna retrieve our files and Auddles'"

Archimedes: "I'm also gonna grab some flash drives that may also possess information that may be useful to us."

DJ: "Sounds good. I think the rest of us will step out for fresh air"

Bronx and Archimedes go inside, greeting some of the inmates and letting them know that the rest of the people in the SUV are with them. It appears they've made a sanctuary

Griz: "Nice to stretch my legs"

DJ: "We haven't even been driving for that long"

Griz: "Yeah but i cant put my seat back as far as id like due to the increase of passengers"

Dired: "Sorry"

AJ: "Yeah well I'm gonna go take a walk real quick"

DJ: "Don't wander off too far"

As AJ walks a short distance on the other side of the facility, he sees a pond. He sits down. He enjoys the sounds of the water running. Suddenly a figure appears behind him. AJ knows someone is there and listens, his listening is clear and he can hear the breaths. Just as someone was about to punch him, he turns around a quickly blocks the punch and jumps back. There he's in fear, a dragon staring at him. He prepares to fight. Suddenly the dragon speaks.

Y## W##: "Wow, that's the first time someone has dodged that. You have great potential. Although I apologize for that, i was merely testing you"

AJ drops his guard

AJ: "Are you..A talking dragon?"

Yin Wei: "Indeed. My name is Yin Wei. I'm an experienced swordsmanship master. I'm experienced with katanas, dandaos and greatswords."

AJ: "Did you just say greatsword?"

Yin Wei: "I did. I sense great potential in you. As a matter of fact, I think id like to make you my student"

AJ: "Well i would right, but me and my friends are kinda occupied"

Yin Wei: "I see. Are you having any difficulties?"

AJ: "Yeah, we got ran out of our old home and are looking for a new place to stay"

Yin Wei: "Well, I do actually happen to be an underground real estate investor. I'm originally from The Zhonghua Federation, but I'm here on vacation in the UA. Tell you what, i can help you guys"

AJ: "I see but i assume there's a catch"

Yin Wei: "You are smart one. I'll let you guys stay in my residency blocks, if you become my student. And as an added moment, I'll make you one of the best swordsman, even to match my level"

AJ: "This sounds tempting"

*The others do need a place to stay, plus he seems like he isnt lying. Perhaps i can use a greatsword or something. Now that would be badass"

"Alright, I'll do it"

Yin Wei: "Excellent. What is your name?"

AJ: "Auddle or AJ"

Yin Wei: "Well AJ, you will refer to me as Shifu. That's Zhonghuan for master or teacher. I will teach you everything that i know. Now then, Lets go help your friends out"

AJ: "So right, lemme ask a question Shifu"

Yin Wei: "Yes, what is your question?"

AJ: "Are you aware of the hybrid situation? And the giant talking animals roaming the place? Youre one yourself"
