Fortnite: Spies

Chapter 15: Riptide's Saviour

Riptide's POV

Riptide awoke in a dimly lit room, tied to a cold plastic chair. He felt tired and sick. A big man that Chaos Agent told him was Brutus. Brutus stared at him ominously and angrily. He obviously wanted to interrogate him. And he wasn't going to give him any time to slap himself awake.
"Why are you here?" Brutus asked.
"You kidnapped me." Riptide growled.
"No. Why are you here. At The Agency."
"Toxin. She made the strike team go. She wanted to get in an early attack."
"Why?"
"To weaken you. But... it obviously didn't work, did it?"
"Your whole squadron got away, right?"
"Almost all of them. One is still here, the squirt."
"What do you mean?"
"Tell no-one to hurt the blonde kid and I'll leave you alone. I'll pack up my stuff and leave to go to another island."
"But we still need you."
"Then I won't leave! Just don't hurt him!"
Brutus remained silent. He pulled down his glasses so Riptide could see his deep, brown eyes.
"Brutus knows who you are talking about. Brutus will get him." Brutus told him.
"Thank you." Riptide thanked.
Brutus left Riptide alone in the dull room. Riptide shivered at the sheer coldness. The temperature was colder than the sweats who took the Infinity Blade and then camped at Polar Peak during the snowstorm event. Then, Kyubi walked in. He looked overjoyed to see Riptide.
"Riptide! You're not dead!" Kyubi cried.
"Why would I be? I'm too awesome to die!" Riptide boasted.
"I'll help you. I've joined Ghost, an organisation full of genuinely good people who don't lie. You can join too!"
"But I belong with Shadow. Sorry, squirt."
"It's OK..."
Kyubi sighed. Riptide stared guiltily at him. It was true. Riptide knew when people were lying, and so he knew they weren't. But, Shadow was his life. Everything he had built up to get to the higher ranks of the faction would be gone and he would just be another one of Midas' toys.
"I can still get you out of here." Kyubi whispered.
"How? Tell me, squirt!" Riptide replied bossily.
"Tell them you're sorry. And mean it. You'll have to leave the island, but you won't have to leave Shadow. You can still follow your dream."
"What? No! I belong h-"
"It's your only chance. You could die."
"..."
"Riptide..!"
"Fine. I'll tell them I'm sorry and that I'll never bother them again."
"Good. Here he comes now."
"Are you two done?" Brutus asked.
"Yes. I'm infinitely grateful." Kyubi smiled. Brutus nodded.
Riptide sighed, "Look, I-"
"Brutus is letting you go." Brutus told them.
"What?! Why?"
"You remind Brutus of a certain agent who was leader of strike team E.G.O, Turk. He left a week ago because he was promoted to Ghost headquarters."
"He... he's my nephew."
Brutus smiled, "The resemblance is uncanny. Now go. Before Brutus changes his mind."
Riptide sat there in silence, his bonds untied. Kyubi watched him and Brutus raised one of his eyebrows behind his sunglasses.
"Is everything OK, Riptide?" Kyubi asked.
"I-I can't leave! Brutus, is there a spot available for the new leader of strike team E.G.O?" Riptide cried.
"Indeed. Brutus will go and tell Midas. He will be pleased!" Brutus smiled gleefully.
Riptide stood up and Brutus gestured for the two to follow him and they did. Kyubi smiled at Riptide and he smiled back. Riptide looked forward into his destiny, for he was proud that he would be following in his nephew's footsteps, to the world of Ghost.

Lynx's POV

Lynx and Skye were shocked to see Riptide and Kyubi walking across the lobby of The Agency and into the elevator. Skye grabbed Lynx's arm and dragged her into the elevator.
"Don't close the door!" Skye screamed.
"What are you doing, Skye?!" Lynx asked Skye quietly.
"It's a mystery that needs to be solved!"
"OK, that's fair."
"Hello ladies." Brutus greeted them.
"Hey honey." Kyubi smiled, kissing Lynx on the forehead.
"Hi. Why are you with Riptide?" Lynx asked him.
"He's going to be the new leader of strike team E.G.O."
"What? Really?!" Lynx squealed, and added quietly, "Can we trust him?"
"Yes we can trust him."
"Don't upset him." Riptide told Lynx.
"Excuse me?! What do you know about not upsetting him?!" Lynx shouted at Riptide.
Kyubi grabbed Lynx's wrist and she looked into his eyes. It was almost as if he was telling her he wasn't worth it. She nodded and stood still. The elevator arrived at its destination, the floor with Midas' office on it. Riptide turned to face Lynx and Skye.
"We must be on our way." Riptide waved.
"Oh no." Lynx snarled sarcastically.
"Lynx!" Kyubi whisper-shouted at her.
"You never said I have to like him."
"..."
Brutus, Kyubi and Riptide left the elevator. Lynx looked at Skye. The look in their eyes read the same thing: they had to tell everyone they could.
