Chapter 17 - Chapter 18: Expanding Horizons and Forging Bonds

Ryuk stood in the center of his command room, the holographic interface of his Gundam SD System flickering around him. He meticulously checked his inventory of weapons, vehicles, equipment, and available Gundam units.

"So far, so good," he murmured to himself, satisfied with his arsenal. He then activated his communication link. "Huang Zhong, I have a mission for you and your squad."

The image of the Dynames Gundam, now named Huang Zhong, appeared on the screen. "Ready for orders, Master Ark."

"You will lead three RGM Gundams in a recon and investigation mission. Your squad will be known as Horus. Your objective is to locate Hydra bases within the United States and report back with your findings. You have one month."

"Understood," Huang Zhong replied. "We'll begin immediately."

Ryuk watched as Huang Zhong and the three RGM units, now designated as Horus Squad, prepared for their mission. He felt a sense of confidence in their abilities and knew they would bring back valuable intel.

Later, Ryuk made his way to the FEAST center, where he was warmly greeted by May Parker. Her face lit up with excitement as she shared the latest news.

"Ryuk, thanks to your donation, we've been able to branch out to Brooklyn and Queens," May said enthusiastically. "Our reach is expanding, and we're helping more people than ever."

Ryuk smiled, genuinely happy to hear the progress. "That's fantastic news, May. I was actually thinking of a more permanent solution. We should build permanent centers in Brooklyn and Queens and create an opportunity program that offers training in technical skills like welding, carpentry, and more. It would give people a chance to better themselves and find stable employment."

May's eyes sparkled with admiration. "That's a wonderful idea, Ryuk. It could make a real difference in so many lives."

They continued to discuss the details, sharing ideas and plans. The conversation was punctuated by playful banter and subtle flirting, a natural chemistry forming between them.

"How about we discuss this further over lunch?" Ryuk suggested, his tone light.

May blushed slightly but smiled. "I'd love that."

The lunch date was a delightful experience for both of them. They chose a cozy little café nearby, enjoying a meal while sharing stories and laughter. Ryuk found himself more and more drawn to May's kindness and dedication to helping others.

After lunch, they took a leisurely stroll back to the FEAST center, continuing their conversation about future plans and possibilities. Ryuk was careful to keep his personal mission separate from his interactions with May, but he couldn't help but admire her passion and commitment.

"This was really nice," May said as they reached the FEAST center. "Thank you, Ryuk."

Ryuk smiled warmly. "The pleasure was mine, May. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together."

As Ryuk walked away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had made a genuine connection with May, and their shared goals for helping those in need gave him a renewed sense of purpose.

May watched him go, feeling a mixture of admiration and affection. Ryuk Leonheart was unlike anyone she had ever met, and his character left a lasting impression on her.

Back at his base, Ryuk checked in with Horus Squad. They had already begun their recon mission, gathering data on potential Hydra bases across the country. Ryuk knew that the information they brought back would be crucial in his ongoing efforts to dismantle Hydra and protect those in need.

As he reviewed the latest updates, Ryuk couldn't help but think about his lunch with May. He smiled to himself, feeling a warmth in his heart. The journey ahead was filled with challenges, but moments like these reminded him of why he fought so hard.

The fight against Hydra, the protection of Ulysses' family, and his growing bond with May Parker were all pieces of a larger puzzle. Ryuk was determined to see it through, no matter what obstacles lay in his path.
