Bronze Tiger #7: Findings

The journey may be far, but it’s worth it. I finally met Onyx on the way—she left the League too, just like what Shiva said. Eventually, I got close with her as we spent one night together.....

 

Ben: “I haven’t sleep soundly like that for years.”

Onyx: “Have you?”

Ben: “Feels free to be so.”

Onyx: “Come back to bed then.”

Ben: “Can’t. Still got a mission, remember?”

 

I quickly get dressed. Currently I’ve been staying in Morocco for the last two weeks, as Onyx became my acquaint. She helped me through mental blocks, and that’s what made the fireworks happen. Richard...still nowhere to be seen.

 

Onyx gives me a nod, pulling me back out of my thoughts. Men come through the door, just as I was going to put on my claws. She must have lead them here thanks to a vendor’s tip.

 

She whips out various shurikens, knocking out most of the men while I do my regular slashes. The prowess seems to be doing well. A man tries to mouth some words before he passes out cold from a kick.

 

Ben: “What was that?”

Onyx: “Brainwashing code. They’re trying to reprogram you. Better we’d leave now. If they have your friend, but sure to wait on this special treat.”

Ben: “Might as well savour the good moments later.”

It’s only half the day, my old friend gets captured. The League did it. What a damn distraction for us fighting through. Problem is, I don’t even know how to get back to the base since my exiled status. Neither did Onyx.

 

I must admit finding Lazarus Pits is much harder than I expected. Combining Shiva’s map and Onyx’s knowledge, they should be somewhere in eastern China by now, not the base where I had my last mission. There goes my flight——

 

 

Ben: “You sure it’s here?”

Onyx: “Yes! I’m sure of it. Can’t fly this thing for too long! They’ll spot me before I can do the recon stuff.”

Ben: “Alright. Stay safe. I’ll see you on the other side.”

Onyx: “Good luck, Turner.”

 

 

Inevitably, it must be a duel...a trap that could be something bigger.

 

And nothing matters than saving a friend by now.
