Chapter 5: Bounty "Echo...?" Riyo looked as horrified as Emerie. In the past year Emerie had seen some pretty gruesome things but she still hated any sight of blood. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry about me," He staggered. "What happened?" Emerie darted away towards the barracks praying Aftershock was in the barracks. Practically running now she slid into the barracks, "AFTERSHOCK!?!"She shouted maybe a bit to aggressively Aftershock was talking to Howzer, Flare and Bolt, "Emerie no need to- "Come here, She begged, "Now Aftershock didn't question bht calmly followed her "Emerie, “Echo started, "You really didn't have to do-” "Let me treat you before she starts yelling at me," Aftershock rolled his eyes. Emerie felt a bit salty at that remark but didn't say anything. "Emerie go get AZI," "But you know Echo hates-" "Trust me," "Fine..." Emerie ran to the corner where AZI was. "Emerie! I saw CT-"AZI started to call Echo by his CT number but Emerie stopped him. Normally He would forget clone names and call them by their clone trooper number- except Emerie. She didn't have one... "Echol" Emerie reminded, "Aftershock needs your help, she grabbed the droid. "I have been told to stay away from CT- "Echol" "To stay away from him. I believe it possibly more of a threat made by CT- "Let me guess Rex,” Deep down Emerie knew Rex was/really/trying his to help Echo especially withall the unspoken trauma Emerie still had yet to unearth "Yes, your leader," "Captain..." "Yes captain," "Aftershock! I have him," "Thank you next time be FASTER," "Of course I will be," "Really. Must we bring AZI into this," Echo interrupted. "He's not going to do anything," "Rrrright," "Believe me," Echo didn't look scared. Emerie wished she could with something when a thought crossed her mind, "Echo..?" He looked up at her trying not to wince as AZI helped address the wounds, "Weren't Asteroid and Sparrow with you...? He looked slightly guilty, "They were..." He started being very careful about his choice of words. His hesitation told her everything, So...?" "I couldn't take both their bodies with me but their helmets are in the ship," 'Till go tell the others," Emerie paused, "Can you tell what happen," "I can't," "Really!?" Emerie pleaded. Then she stopped and grumbled, "Classified missions," "That's the last 'classified' mission Rex is sending you on”, Riyo declared. “I think-” "Your opinion is invalid,” Riyo argued. Emerie started to the storage room which led to the dock as she heard Riyo shyly stealing more glances at Echo. Emerie pushed open the door to the storage room. She flipped the lights on. She heard something. Reaching for her bow she glanced around the room, "Who?" No answer of course. She grimaced as a blade grazed her arm, 'Ow" She gritted her teeth. Not wanting to look at the bl00d I could ask the same question," A slim athletic figure emerged from the shadows. It was a female. She had pale skin and long braid black hair. Emerie started as someone else opened the door. Howzer. "Who," he pointed at the female, "is this," The person walked past Emerie and picked up her knife wiping the bl00d off of it, "Where am I? I thought this was an abandoned storage house," "Echo?" Riyo squeaked as he opened the door and locked eyes with the female. The woman looked at him, seeming to take a few seconds to register who he was. He stared and words slipped out his mouth, "Fennec?”
