Desire in Shadows

Fox vs Fox

As Alpha sat there , she kept looking at the Candle as the tiny flame danced on the wick. She was thinking back to when she was saved by Cross. 

Alpha: My Lord.... only he can stop Geats... only he can stop this nightmare from happening. 

Gamma entered the room and found her still sitting up against the bed. 

Gamma: Lady Alpha, The Fall of Both MCA and Mitsugoshi is unstoppable... Forced Closure of all storefronts, bringing the citizens' unrest to its peak. Riots are breaking out at each of their bank branches. Customers are bearing down on all the banks across the capital, demanding exchange of their money and we're struggling to control the situation.

Alpha: Can we weather this storm? 

Gamma: If things carry on like this... We're done...probably within the next few days. Even with all of our assets combined, we would barely be able to make it... 

Alpha: I see... 

Alpha not turning her gaze away from the flame. Gamma tries to give ideas on how to give them security. 

Alpha: There's no- 

???: There is a point to this madness... 

Both of them eyes widened to hear a familiar voice. Alpha looked behind her to find Adam up, He's holding his side as he grunts in pain. 

Adam: I feel like I just got hit by a god damn train... whats the - OW! 

He was in pain, Alpha stood up and helped him lay back down. 

Alpha: Lord Cross! Please, you still havent fully healed yet. 

Adam: What's the...situation? 

As Gamma explained the entire situation to him, Adam smiled. 

Adam: So , a third party was involved with the Counterfeits . This John Smith and Faker... they had ulterior motives... While Yukime ... Oh? 

He held his chin and smiled.

Adam: So thats it. Alpha... remember the cave we saved my sister in years ago? 

She nods . Adam tried to sit up again, she helped him sit up. 

Adam: She didn't care about any of this, she only had one target. 

Gamma: Wait, so ... the Counterfeit bills. The MCA's plans and the attacks . 

Alpha: All to get back at one person... Gettan. 

Adam: This was a vendetta , she hated him for something that must have happened years ago. 

He held his hand up and opened and closed his fist.

Adam: Alpha, your with me on this hunt. Gamma prepare to showcase once we return. 

She helped him up , his driver appearing on his waist. 

< Darkness Boost! > 

His armor formed on him, his helmet was repaired. He then turned and looked at the door.

Cross: While you two... I have a very important mission.

Both Nu and Beta stepped out of hiding. Beta having tears in her eyes , Nu smiling that Cross is back.

Cross: You two will go to the marked location. Retrieve any and all goods there, but don't kill only knock them out... 

Beta: Yes Lord Cross! 

Nu: Your Will is my Command! 

Both bowed as they left. Cross was leaning onto Alpha for support, he looked at her.
