Rita is still alive, and that shocked Fiona a lot, and on top of that Rita is the leader of the Foxes
(Almost 6 years ago)
Rita: Ugh, hhhhh
Rita survived the shots, but she was very weak. She opened her eyes and could barely breathe
Rita: Urk, this hurts, where am I
She opened her eyes. She was in a morgue
Rita: Huh
She stood up
Rita: Am I dead. No, that makes no sense. I am not a spirit. Where am I. Urk
(Splop)
Rita: I remember now. Fiona shot me. But I wanted to finish the mission. Wait. I have to take care of my sister. She needs the money for medicine
She ran and ran
Rita: Hahh, urk
And she collapsed
Rita: Damn it. Fiona. I will kill you
She stood up
Rita: Maiev. Maiev. I am coming
(A few hours later)
Rita is unconscious again
Morgue worker: Damn, she is still alive. Hurry. Ambulance
(A few hours later)
Rita: Hahhh, hahhhhh, haahhhhh
Doctor: How the hell did she survive this. Four shots. Three in the chest, one in the leg
Rita: Hahhhh, hahhh, hahhhhh. Maiev
(Memory)
Maiev: Coughs. It hurts so much
Rita: It will be fine, little sister. The organization promised that if I work for them, I will get money. Then you can finally walk again, jump, and hug
Maiev: Hmmm
(End of memory)
Doctor: She needs rest
(A few days later)
Rita: Huh
She woke up
Rita: Where am I
She stood up immediately
Rita: A hospital
She walked on. Right then a nurse appeared
Nurse: Huh
Rita: Shhhh
She pointed the knife toward her eye
Rita: I promise I will kill you if you make even a sound. Do you understand. Listen. You are coming with me, and you will take care of my little sister
Nurse: Okay, okay
Rita: But when I came back, I found out Maiev is alive, but she is in a coma. For five months already. Dark Umbrella said nothing. I spent three years killing people for those bastards. I was the executioner. I stained my hands with blood. I even wanted to kill a child, just because it was the order. Fiona stopped it. I do not know if I should hate her for that, or even like her, because otherwise I would have killed a child for nothing
She walked around
Rita: Dark Umbrella. May it be cursed. They only used me
Troy: Hey, hey, please stop. This is our shop
Unknown cursed man: Hehehehe. Maybe I will leave you alone if your sister, the pretty one, gives me her body for today, hehe
Rita appeared and slit his stomach open
(Splach)
Troy: Ugh
Rita: Hmmm
Lisa: Ugh
Rita: Cursed be the cursed
Roy: Hhhh
Unknown cursed man: Urk
Rita: Hmm
Unknown: You will pay for that. I am Bernard. I will make you pay
Rita: Hmph
She kicked him in the face
(Splach)
Rita: Hahhh. Oh yeah. Then let us see
She stomped on his head so many times until it was completely smashed
(Splach)
Rita: Hahhhh, hahhhh, hahhhhhh, hahhhhhh
(End of memory)
Rita: So, Fiona
Fiona: You survived
Rita: Yep. As you can see, I am even the leader of the Foxes
Fiona: Are you aware that this is not a good idea. I already killed you once
Rita: Hahh. You failed
Fiona: Hmmm
Rita: Hahhh. Fiona. I assume you think I hold a grudge against you. No. But that does not change that you work for Dark Umbrella, the ones who betrayed me, used me
Fiona: And for that you use these people. You realize they have no chance against us
Rita: You mean them
Rita pulled out her pistol and shot them and killed them
Fox member: What, wha. Urk
Fox member woman: Urk
Fiona: Damn it, what are you doing
Fox member: Urk
Fiona: What are you planning
Rita: Those are just idiots. They thought I am not cursed. But I am. It is just that Dark Umbrella does not really know it, at least not many of them
She aimed the pistol at Hosenträger
Hosenträger: Ugh
Rita: Do not move
Steam came out of her
Rita: My ability is poison. Do you know how dangerous it is
Fiona: What exactly are you planning
Rita: I want money. That is it. I want money for my sister, Maiev
Fiona: You have a sister
Rita: Yes. What do you think is the reason I did this Dark Umbrella thing. Do you think I had fun killing people. I was always a pacifist. Well, not anymore, but I was a pacifist
Fiona: What, money
Rita: I actually led the group only for the money, nothing more. This group is not even really nice. Toward the not cursed people, they use them. And anyway I am sure Dark Umbrella is searching for them, so I did Dark Umbrella a favor. I became leader when the former boss, John, died. That is all. I want money, or there will be problems
Fiona sighed
Fiona: That is it. Why did you not just say you are alive
Rita: Hmm. No idea. I thought Dark Umbrella would know I am alive
Fiona: Hahh. How much do you want. Say it fast. I do not feel like dealing with this
Rita: Hhhhh. 20000 coins
Fiona: What. Forget it. That is not enough for your sister
Rita: What
Fiona: I assume your sister was badly cursed, which is why she is in a coma. Curses are often mistaken for illnesses. Want my advice. Then I will just tell you to surrender to Dark Umbrella. Meliodas will take care of your sister
Rita: I did not wait four years for her to wake up just to rot at the end
Fiona: Hahhhh. And what if you are protected by Meliodas. Ms Valentine can clear it up. Then your sister can be taken care of
Rita: Ms Valentine. She is an agent
Fiona: Not anymore. Right now she is one of the most important people in Dark Umbrella
Rita: Hmmm
Fiona: Hahhh. You do not trust me much
Fiona turned around
Rita: What are you doing
Fiona: If you shoot my back, I can actually die, because in the upper part of my back I do not have enough of Holle's blood. You can also use your poison, then I will die. Holle's blood does not help there either
Rita: Why are you doing that
Fiona: Hmm. I feel like I owe you
Rita lowered the gun
Rita: Fine. Bring me to Dark Umbrella. If they execute me, will you please take care of Maiev
Fiona: Okay
Rita: Hmm
Fiona: Why me
Rita: Hmph. You almost killed me to save a child. So you would probably watch over my little sister. She is twelve now
Fiona: I agree
Rita: Okay
Fiona: And the three over there
Rita: Huh. Troy, Roy, and Lisa. Let them live. They are not a threat. They did not want anything to do with it
They tied Rita up
Rita: Hey, a little gentler, okay
Mr Skull: Sorry. This skull can be careless sometimes
(A few hours later)
Rita was brought to the judges of Dark Umbrella. What the verdict will be, whether she dies by poison, or whether she is only put in prison, is still unclear
(A few days later)
Ms Valentine: Hmmm
Judge of Dark Umbrella: She is a danger
Ms Valentine: I think it is unfair to kill someone when we are guilty of betraying them, right. I already told you back then that you do not treat our executioners well. This is what happens when you treat people like tools
Judge of Dark Umbrella: What do you suggest
Ms Valentine: Hmm
She stood up
Ms Valentine: Rita Patrica, I give you the verdict. You will not be killed
Judge of Dark Umbrella: What
Ms Valentine: Dark Umbrella will cover the costs for your sister. Also I give you one month living in a hotel where you can rest. But I ask you to stay only in the hotel during this month
Rita: Ugh
Ms Valentine: You suffered enough. Time to give you, for your service, what you want. Medicine for your sister, and freedom from killing other people
Rita: Ughh, sobs, hahhh
Ms Valentine: Hmm. Thank Fiona, by the way
Rita: What
Ms Valentine: She said if we do not forgive you, then she wants a verdict against herself too, because she killed Lady Natasha, and she asked for the money to be sent to the hospital where your sister is
Rita: Ghhh, sobs. Thank you very much
Ms Valentine: We are sorry we treated you like that. I give you one month to decide whether you want to keep working for Dark Umbrella or do something else. We will help you either way
Rita: Thank you
Ms Valentine: A new pass, with a new name. Mina Evelyin, how about that. I prepared it for you
Rita: Ughh, hahhh, thank you
She collapsed to the floor in despair
Rita: Thank you. Thank you so much
Ms Valentine: Hmph. Oh, by the way, this is from Fiona
She threw a chain. It was a flower chain
Rita: But I lost that when I got shot
Ms Valentine: I think Fiona blamed herself for years for your death, and as she is, she did not show it. But she even kept your chain. This chain belonged to your mother, Sandy
Rita: Ugh. Fiona
(Meanwhile)
Meliodas: Welcome back
(Crash)
Meliodas: Ouch
Fiona: So much for you knowing what you are doing. Yeah right. Where was Rio anyway
Colletta: Yeah, where is he
Meliodas: Huh. Not with you
(Meanwhile somewhere)
Rio: Sweats. I forgot where I was supposed to get off, and now I am in Weimarer
(Back to Lilly Mond)
Meliodas: So, what do you think, Fiona
Sternlicht: Oh no
Chloe: We are done. She will surely say we did not convince her
Hosenträger: We did not
Fiona: Ugh, hahh. They are clumsy, annoying, naive, childish
Chloe: Sulks
Fiona: But each of them has talent. Chloe has a sharp tongue, but she is smarter than she pretends. Sternlicht is a brave, decent, shy lady. Ms Page With Food eats a lot, but she has an interesting ability. Hosenträger may be very cold, but he can accomplish things too. With more effort they will become good agents. Mr Skull is Mr Skull. He can bring maturity
Chloe: Ugh
Sternlicht: What. I did not expect that
Meliodas: Well, look at that
Fiona: That means I do not mind staying here with them
Chloe: Ugh, hahahahaha
Meliodas: Now for the next mission. It will get serious, Fiona. Zantanel was sighted
Fiona: Ugh
(Meanwhile)
Zantanel: Hahhh
She stretched out her hand
Zantanel: The wind is cold, but at least it lets me feel something. Hmm
Corpses lay on the ground
Zantanel: Ashes to ashes. May death and suffering be only the beginning
(Memory)
Meliodas: Fiona, this is Rita
Rita: Hmm
Fiona: Hmm
Meliodas: Come on, you two. You two should really become friends already
Fiona: She tripped me
Rita: She called me an idiot
Meliodas: Come on, you two. And you, Rita, it is really mean to trip someone when she walks on one leg
Rita: Hmmm
Meliodas: And you, Fiona, idiot might not sound so bad, but others can be hurt by words like that. Stop it next time
Rita: Hmm, sulks
Meliodas: Hmm
Fiona: Hmm, I am older anyway
Meliodas: Hahahaha
Rita: All the more reason you should apologize, because you called a younger one an idiot. I am still a kid
Fiona: So am I, I am ten
Rita: I am eight
Fiona: Two years younger than me, so what. I do not care if you are younger. Just behave
Rita: Mmm, Mr Meliodas
Meliodas: Hahhh. You two are exhausting
Fiona: Me. Why me. Nobody says anything when the other teachers treat me badly. Why am I punished when I only defended myself
Rita: Mmm
Fiona: Mmm
Meliodas: Okay, okay. Whoever apologizes gets a chocolate milk
Fiona: Sorry, Rita
Rita: Sorry, Fiona
Meliodas: Okay, hehe. Good. You both earned a chocolate milk
(End of memory)
Maiev: Hahhhh, hahhhhh
Doctor: We have the necessary medicine and treatments against the curse, like water and water from a mermaid, and the kidney of a mermaid, and a fairy she has to eat
Rita: Okay, thank you
Doctor: Anything else
Rita: No, thank you very much
Doctor: Then I will go. If anything happens, tell us. Otherwise she should be healthy soon. If something goes wrong, just call Dark Umbrella
Meliodas: Okay
Rita: Thank you very much, doctor
He left the place
Meliodas: Fiona wanted to come, but there was an important mission
Rita: I understand
Meliodas: She is happy you are alive. Hehehe. She blamed herself for years for shooting you
Rita: Mhm, thanks, Master
Meliodas: No problem. I wish you two a nice month
Rita: Thank you. And please greet Ms Valentine from me. And about Fiona, I, I am looking forward to seeing her again
Meliodas: Okay
