19 Ch.19 So here's the bad News and Here's The Worse...
[Red's POV]
After sending off the scouts Red had her army stand to Attention and decided to wait for them to come back.
She was completely oblivious to the events happening several blocks over where the hospital was situated. And close to a hour later she felt as if she lost something.
Red: What is this feeling...something is not right..Status!!! And after she opens her Status she immediately sees the issue.
[Red's Status]
Command: (9920/10000)
When she saw that she almost had to do a double take.
Red: Didn't I say to run if it wasn't something they could handle...most of the are faster than me...so if something wiped them out it's some thing that is extremely fast and is able to kill them before they can retreat back to here which would only take them less than 10 seconds...or even more terrible than that its something that was able to override my Subjugate Skill. That means they have a stronger Soul then I do and I have a direct connection with Master who allows me to use the [zombie control Console] through that connection, My soul is also strengthen through that connection, so I shudder to think about such a possibility.
Red: All soldier March towards the hospital.
A short march later they assembled in front of the hospital only to see glass and wood particles everywhere, evidence of the broken windows and doors. Also no bodies of the Scouts.
Red: WTF!!! Next time I should just do it myself.
With the lack of bodies her worse fears are all but confirmed the only other reason is they have been eaten and that is a whole other set problems. Not realizing that is a problem Tony encountered earlier that day and things that consumes zombies are not nice.
All Red can think at this time was she knew she(fill in the blank)
Red:Master is going to be pissed.
[Area where the god of fate resides]
Fate:Alot of Flags are getting thrown around at Zino 6. People still haven't learn to stop challenging me....oooooh this challenge flag is a result of one I took care of....tsk tsk well now I got to make them learn that it's disrespectful to challenge Fate.
Fate takes a look at the whole area where the challenge was issued.
Fate:this.....? This is a result of the possibility someone with a large amount of Fate getting pissed. And the first was a result of the same person's wishful thinking!!! Who is it.
He then scans the entire planet to find...
Fate:Nothing!!!..why cant I find him!!!
???: that's because he is protected for the time being by me.
Fate:Earth?
Earth: yes that Boy has just been sent there and is under the mandatory protection time.
Fate:I see but doesn't that mean...
Fate just remembered what Earth sent him a little while ago. And burst out laughing.
Fate: that's the boy who had that ridiculous death...a death that even I didn't see coming and I design this entire universes Fate...That means that this boy is in control of his own.
When did he take control from me?
Earth:When he died not only did he deny Reality he denied his own Fate. So you where wrong about the part of him having a large amount of Fate he in fact has none. But because of that he is able to take in others people Fate..
Fate: That means each and every one of the decisions he makes has a immediate effect on the world around him because he has a empty fate he can take and control others fate.
Earth: You would know best about it.
Fate: I might have someone I can pass the reins to if he manages to make it to the end.
Earth: Welp just passing by because I felt someone peeking. See you later.
Fate: Let's see what I have in store for you Tony.
Since Fate couldn't purposely mess with him he can only let events unravel on there own.
Fate: 2 more days till the protection period ends.
[Zino 6 western hemisphere in a small city]
[6:27 a.m]
Karen: WAKE UP!!!!
Tony:!!!!*THUMP*
Tony falls out of the bed rolls and into a crouch and scans for damger.
Karen: Good morning Host
Tony: it just started bothering me but please just call me Tony when you refer to me as Host it sounds like you are a parasite.
Karen:technically you aren't wrong Tony, the only exception is I'm connecting to your soul instead of physical body and it is more of a symbiotic relationship where you get all the benefits.
Tony: okay we have a big day ahead of us.
Karen: Ermm...Tony about that you might have to change plans.
Tony: Why?
Karen: when you were sleeping the two places I marked disappeared off the map.
Tony: Why didn't you say anything?
Karen: When we were talking last night their was another connection listening.
Tony:That is....RED!!!
Karen: yes I assume she heard your plans and decided to get a jump start.
Tony: I give that girl too much freedom...Sigh.
RED!!!
Red:...
Tony:Hello anyone there?
Red:....
Tony:Dont make me wait the consequences will be dire.
Red: masterdontbemad
Tony: Slow down.
Red: please dont be mad....
Tony:though I'm a bit upset with the fact that you heard my plans and acted with out telling me I'm only mad because i was left out. good job on clearing both places what are the results and what did you encounter?
Red: Both..? Shit Shit Fuck Fuck...*kneels on the ground*
Tony: That's not how a young women should speak and what do you mean?
Red: I didn't even clear the first area and the second area bring cleared confirms my worst thoughts.
Tony:Elaborate.
Red: At the first in the South that we completely cleared by the way, after trying to connect to you to ask for a reward and hearing what you said. I decided to surprise you by clearing out the area for greater rewards.
Tony:Understandable.
Red: after locating the point of Interest I sent in a team of my best scouts, I say best because they have completely scouted and grasped the whole situation of this City and surrounding area. I know everything they know. But this is bad because the confirmation it gives.
Tony: Get on with it.
Red: A unknown entity has taken control of them obviously it is what was residing in the hospital and the fact that the second area is gone is what confirmed my suspicion because my scouts know and would have provided the info. Even if they didn't know the reason they were at the hospital, the place emits aura so the other place probably does too and they scouted the whole city.
Tony:So you are telling me both areas are gone and you have nothing to show except some grief for it.
Red: Please Dont be mad.
Tony: I'm not mad I'm just disappointed.
Red:nooooooo everybody knows that's worse.
Tony: Stay where you are I'll be there shortly.
Also start going through the loot you collected and see if there is anything useful for setting up a Faction or base in the South side of the city you cleared and start building a wall around the Conquered area. One more thing were any of the 9 zombies that I controlled from the office building with the scouts?
Red:No they are my top Generals because of the head start though some of them died.
Tony:that is good!! So who ever took control of the scouts are probably led to believe you are the top Dog. We can use that to a advantage. Okay Start carrying out my orders I'll see you later today. Bye
Red:Yes Master
Tony cuts the connection and sits there in thought before smiling.
Tony: This is getting more more interesting.
Finally standing up straight from his crouching pose he moves to check on sue
as he stands in the door way and looks at her sleeping form wondering why he now has a Strong urge to protect someone he just met less than a day ago. He shakes his head to clear and walks over to wake her up. five minutes of shaking later I was about to give up and let her wake up naturally but thought of something. Crept close to her and whispered one word and woke the Glutton in her up.
Tony:*Breakfast*
She immediately goes from a horizontal position to a vertical one so fast it seemed like she wasn't lying down in the first place.
Sue:Foooood so hungry. what's for breakfast tell me.
Tony: Just get ready and clean up, here is a new set of clothes. And I'll prepare breakfast.
I buy and pull out a outfit that consists of Shoes, Knee Socks, Pants, a blouse, and a Coat along with a ribbon the same color as the blouse. All are special items of the (blue) tier that offer great protection, Dust and grime immunity, and temperature control. It put me back another 20k RP, for her safety its worth it also the Outfit can change Colors and Cut It gets old wearing the same thing.
Sue:Yay
She Takes the clothing and rushes to the bathroom
I go into the kitchen and decide to buy a large amount of fresh ingredients of all types in bulk for future use and despite being cheap and buying more of something's than others. Coming out to another 5k RP.
I now begin to cook in my previous life I wasnt the best cook and still am not however with my Sages Wisdom I can recall all my moms recipes I've seen on the Fridge and all the moves she made while cooking that I've strung together from the times I've watch her.
So I imitate everything thing she did to make cinnamon rolls. Fake it until you make it, and with the Sage's help I'll be able to make it faster.
[30 minutes later]
The table is set for two with a giant platter filled with eggs,bacon, and sausage. there is a smaller platter of cinnabon buns and I can say I mastered the art of breakfast, As I take a sip from the mug of coffee I brewed from heavenly coffee grind after spending a few minutes on lower quality grind to perfect my brewing capabilities so I didn't ruin it.
Tony:haaa... the coffee of the gods...
Karen: you know that's just the stuff that they issue to their soldiers right?
Tony: What?
Karen: yep why do you think it is so cheap the stuff gods drink...let's just say you cant afford it at the moment and it will take awhile before you can comfortably afford it..
Tony:*Checks shop* Essence of Coffee: the very existence of coffee extracted over time as to not erase it, brewed in a process that mortals can never even begin to understand.( effects:unknown to date no mortal has partaken of this beverage Gods speculate that it will completely erase the need to sleep or Cause a extremely powerful boost in energy that has to be released or User will suffer)
Cost:500,000,000RP
Tony: *Spit takes* *cough hack* haaa... ok then...
I clean the coffee mess and just as I finish Sue creeps into the room and instead of running to the table and stuffing face like I though she would she stands there and looks at the and then stares at me.
Tony: well aren't you going to eat.
She starts to tear up
Tony:.....
Then the water works start
Sue:*Starts sobbing*
I walk over to her and embrace her.
Tony:there there its okay.
She starts to Sob harder and I continue to hold and console her I store the food in my storage to keep it fresh because this will probably take awhile. After she quiets down she starts to speak.
Sue: Why are you caring for me?
Tony: Because I want to.
Sue: So no ulterior motive.
Tony: I saw you alone and wanted to help you do I need any other reason to do so?
Sue: you tried to give me a lollypop to appease me. And now that I'm in what appears to be a safe environment the effects of my mutation on my personality and intelligence have receded. So all if this seems too good to be true also even though I have my own thoughts and feelings alot of those point to listening to you and answering your call. you've obviously done something to me but I cant identify what.
Tony: I have bonded you to me through our souls with me being the dominant side but was only able to do so through your mutation which occurred via a zombie bite. Which probably explains why you still have control
and not blindly following my will
He then realized why even after binding her she walk slowly up the stairs despite how fast she can move after being called up and other events when she was defiant he always attributed it to the fact of her being (unique) and he might not be wrong....
Sue: so you can control zombies.... were you cause of this?
She asks while trying to pull away. I hold her tighter and instead of explaining to her I do something else. I share my experiences from my death till now to her through our link in our souls. And as they go by something else was shared, something I didn't know was there, it was memories of a Candy Shoppe owning Uncle. Now I learned why I felt the need to protect her. All this happened in a split second before my arms finished tightening to hold her I then released her. She stood there shocked.I just waited for her to adjust to the information she received, not everyone can instantly disseminate information like I do. So several minutes later.
Sue: Is this true?
Tony: Its near impossible to lie through the soul also hard to forge memories it's way easier to alter memories, but no amount of altering can produce what I've been through also if I could lie I would have but only to cover up the way I died it's just too embarrassing.
Sue:*giggles* Yeah I can't believe that you got kill by such a ferocious beast....ppfffffttt..
Karen:ppppffffttt
Tony: both of you shut up
Sue:Both?
Tony:Karen are you able to communicate with her?
Karen:hey there Sue
Sue jumps a bit.
Sue:hello Karen
Tony: guess that answers that. And you can respond with your thoughts you dont have to speak aloud.
Karen: now that you are In the know Tony can never release the bond on you and if he dies you do too. These are integral secrets to universe that cant be spread all willy nilly. You here that Tony. The only reason this World didn't erase you is because of Earths protection. these secrets cant be spread any further otherwise it'll effect the fabric of this worlds reality but instead of being kicked out the worlds God will just erase you to prevent danger to wherever you go next. Because if it happens once it'll happen again, your only saving grace is the person you told is Soul bond to you. Earth Is probably up there pleading your case to Mr.Zino So please take care of your actions I'm this regard.
Tony&Sue:...Okay
Karen:Good that you understand.
Tony: Are you ready to eat breakfast.
Sue drys her face and looks at the table with hungry eyes only to see...
Sue:where's all the food!!!
Tony: oh sorry here,I wanted to make sure it remained fresh.
He then retrieves the food from his storage and set the table accordingly.
Tony: eat as much as you want I already ate and what you dont eat we can save for later you probably have a good idea on my skills from my memories.
Sue: Yeah if I had to describe you with a single word it will be a toss up between Cheat or Broken however this makes me feel better about staying with now. I wasn't going to survive much longer anyways and you came along... let's just say at that point I wouldn't have minded giving up my free will to survive.
Tony:enough talking just eat we have forever to get to fully know each other all the problems just let me worry also your parents may still be alive.
Sue: if they are can you help them too!!
Tony: That's a given.
Sue now content begins to eat breakfast and now we are exiting out of the front of the tent, it is now late morning, I turn around and store my tent I turn to sue
Tony: come stand next to me we are going to meet one of my subordinates.
She shimmied over closer I grabbed her by the shoulder and and I felt a small tug over my entire body from the exertion of directly moving through space. To appear before a person wearing Very dark purple set if plate armor only to notice who it was after.
Red: who is this is...is this Karen?
She asks while looking at Sue after feeling a connection to her through her masters soul.
Tony: No this is Sue, and why does it matter
Red: So now there are two...
She says while looking at sue then back at her master with a weird look.
Red: Master really doesn't discriminate with his taste.
Sue:....No ulterior motive huh..
Tony:.....

Tony:COME ON!!!
Red&Sue:*giggling*
Karen:I swear I had nothing to do with this.
Tony: I swear you guys love just teaming up on me.
Tony came pretty close to the truth with that statement but decided to focus on the development of what will his current base of operations. He retrieves his tent sets it and heads in
Tony: well come on let's catch up.
Sue and Red follows him inside.
