The twins were far from identical. Voltage was so much more passionate and deliberate in everything than Abyssal. Abyss would be lying if he said he wasn’t at least a little jealous of Volt.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsMotVAVwv
Volt was stronger physically as well, and he was faster than any human alive. Abyss would be willing to bet every meal he’d get for the rest of his life on that.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie3KrbQ6e8
It wasn’t just personality and ability that separated the twins, either. While Volt had eyes that seemed more electric blue than what would be natural. Abyss hadn’t considered just how striking his brother’s eyes were until he came here and saw normal humans.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel0luAY14d
The opposite was the case for Abyss. He looked in a mirror for the first time just earlier and noticed how dull his eyes were. They were an unnatural and ugly gray. Nobody else Abyss had seen all day had eyes quite like his own.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Si8AvdS6A
Abyss was surprised. He stared into his own eyes disappointedly. Despite the hair color, Abyss always pictured himself looking just like Volt, same eyes, same face, but now?28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKdDiK98nF
Abyss noticed how sullen his face appeared in comparison to Volt’s bright expression. He felt so pathetic thinking about Volt’s striking features. Abyss thought that aside from his own unusually lengthy hair, he would fade into the crowd.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYWrjAlEuk
Abyss’s hair was a regular old black color , meanwhile, Volt’s was a bright yellow blond. One would probably look at Volt and think he was a painting with all the bold colors.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgMTiYyyOM
Such things Abyss never would have recognized before. Not after living his entire life with the Rosork.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oPt8uA5DH
The Rosork are a humanoid alien race based underwater in the deepest part of Jupiter’s watery moon, Europa. They have been there ever since they discovered this solar system, many eons ago. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2reZCJxUJ
Now, Abyss and Volt were the living weapons destined to pave over the world, alienated outcasts in the midst of several Purging Inhuman Species To Overthrow Leadership (PISTOL) agents. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQyAR75Jme
The twins were informed that they wouldn’t be moved to the main militarized base of operations for another few hours.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnItZObCMkQ
Abyss already felt awkward around all these people. Feeling anxious, he stepped away for a moment into a bathroom stall to recompose himself. Meanwhile, Volt was going around, talking to people in an attempt to get on their good sides and gather some information.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGEhPJoLw8
Eventually, Abyss came back out, head held high. He hoped his faux confidence would make him appear stoic and unapproachable like the other agents seemed to be.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoblZCiymF
He then caught a glimpse of Volt out of the corner of his eye, sitting on a bench, his arms behind his head, stretched out and relaxed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzloi3y30L
Abyss didn’t understand how Volt was able to feel so normal around all these strangers. The lighter brother practically glowed, as usual, his demeanor unwavering. In fact, somehow, by the rapid tapping of one foot, Volt seemed more energized and excited than usual.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fbjFWJBGn
One of the burlier agents bumped into Abyss, catching the young boy by surprise. Abyss profusely apologized before rushing to seek refuge next to the only familiar face in the building.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlCKFwhgsd
“Where did you go?” Volt asked. He didn’t seem offended in any way, just genuinely curious.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zx4tdeI7g
“Bathroom,” Abyss muttered awkwardly. He clenched his teeth, crossed his legs, and folded his arms, holding his face in its stoic expression.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY53xub9kav
“What’s with you?” Volt teased.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCXuIm9oKc
“What do you mean?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvd7u1mFJs
“You seem so…. Awkward.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT0F0EffVu
“I’m not awkward!” Abyss growled.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSDg5ea1yG
Volt shrugged, choosing not to think anything more of Abyss’s closed-off behavior.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8jHneifJ
“I was wandering around and heard some people talking about us,” Volt said casually.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnhaJ6WS2o
“What?” Abyss hissed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP41Y6pf2U
“My thoughts exactly. Listening in closer, they all seem to know exactly who we are. One group noticed me and broke up the conversation immediately.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARwPIK2zv
Abyss was half surprised that only one group spotted Volt. The guy could be seen a mile away!28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWACojAhLqH
“But they were talking about our family.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaIdGEy8eN
Abyss found himself unable to speak, besides his eyes which held some air of shock and curiosity, he showed almost no reaction. Still, Volt didn’t need to look at Abyss to know what his brother was thinking.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS1VHYSqQl
“Yeah. It sounds like our parents or grandparents had to have been part of some alien experiments. Remember when the Rosork implanted our cartridges into us? It sounds like regular people aren’t able to handle the implantations. Their genetics have to be intentionally altered in advance to accept the crystalline cartridges.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO3NOYFzuJ
“So? What does that have to do with our family? The Rosork could have altered our genetics without them being involved.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTPMjHJxKm
“That’s what you might think, but when I say in advance, I mean generations in advance. A serum can’t instantly mutate a person, but it can prompt rapid evolution.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMhziGzHSk
Abyss twitched at Volt’s verbiage. “Mutants? Is that what they’re calling us?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9PhHeacX
“I know it sounds like they’re being jerks, but what else are they supposed to call us? Our cells and DNA structures have mutated and adapted to match the injections the Rosork must have given to our parents.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX12fKiNbBM
“Whatever. But doesn’t that make us the very things PISTOL wants to annihilate?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nMTEEJrSD
Volt was quiet for a moment. A rare occasion. “Look,” Volt eventually said. “The Rosork told us this would be dangerous. Whether that meant fighting the royal family and their armies or living amongst PISTOL, we knew the risks. Besides, if anyone so much as touches your hair I’ll murder them in cold blood.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjo31xQzk
A small smile finally flashed onto Abyssal’s face before he responded. “That would void the contract and shred the peace treaty between the Rosork and PISTOL.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBp0FvgUl
“So what? You’re my brother and they’re all a bunch of dudes that want to use us. We don’t have to do what they tell us to.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuw73spK5
“You’re going to make an interesting Trojan Horse.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjKF1wrtJ5
“Hey,” a deep, unfamiliar voice snapped. Abyss jumped. He looked at a particularly high-ranking PISTOL member, who was glaring down at the boys, analyzing. Abyss felt the hairs on his neck stand on end. “I don’t know what you two mutants are talking about, but the chopper’s here for you.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhv3TTLTst
“A chopper?! Like a helicopter?!” Volt exclaimed, eyes wide.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8oFKHIUV
Abyss relaxed as the man walked away. He forgot that most humans didn’t understand the Rosorken language. It seemed strange, since it was the twins’ first language.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5TQcc4np
The same man looked over his shoulder. “Are you coming or not?” the man growled.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTeQebkvoe
Volt jumped up in excitement, Abyss in fearful obedience. Abyss regretted his sluggishness.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMG8abie0p
The twins followed the man to the roof. Something in the pit of Abyssal’s stomach told him he was going to get thrown over the edge by this stranger.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaxJbnSARC
Abyss struggled in his attempts to calm himself down, but the best he could do was maintain his warrior’s mask.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7dtakRL3k
Loyal, obedient, strong, collected, and fearless. These were the emotions Abyss wanted to have in this moment, and they were all emotions he felt were absent.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQIf8tcR82
Meanwhile, Volt still appeared optimistic and overjoyed about the whole ordeal.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vAZ0Pmy29
How? Nothing on earth was ever anything the twins experienced through their life with the Rosork.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB6vZcWNbv
Everything was simple there. But here? It was overwhelming. Earth was loud, it had many scents Abyss did not understand, and it was full of strange people (around 8 billion residents from what he was told).28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lhVImvhhL
They reached the roof, and before them was a helicopter. What seems like common transportation- at least in movies- and an impressive piece of machinery to us, was underwhelming to Abyss. To him, it was a box made from metal with a couple longer sheets screwed on top and bottom.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJTQbP7DOX
Meanwhile, Volt seemed fascinated. He darted over to the helicopter in an instant. “Look at this!” He exclaimed. “I’ve read about these! They’re a form of flying transportation that humans use.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIUOvneNA
The escort’s face hardened into a glare, directed towards Volt, and Abyss winced.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkDj9FZvM7
Purging inhuman species.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqacvnqPI1c
“And I don’t see a singular jet or hover module to begin the ship’s perfectly vertical ascent! Isn’t that awesome, Sol ?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiFWyD4kbC
Abyss realized he’d gotten distracted and missed half of what Volt said. “Uh… sure.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9ZBfxe32Q
Volt switched back to the Roserken dialect and ran over to whisper mischievously to Abyss. “I also hear that when humans use flight as transportation, they’re provided with snacks and recorded media they call movies.” He got loud again, right in Abyssal’s ear. “They’re like two dimensional holograms used as forms of entertainment!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczgxytAD00
Abyss rubbed his ear with a nervous chuckle and cleared his throat. “That’s all nice,” he mumbled back in Common, “but how do we know this thing is stable?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbZDyln8xi
“We’ve been using and improving choppers for decades,” the escort growled impatiently. “We need to relocate you both quickly, so if you would-”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D1anSrO6V
Volt was aboard the helicopter before the man could finish.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4y2tsiosS
“Quickly it is! Ten steps ahead of you!” Volt cheered. “Come on, Abyss!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGrKAx22mX
Abyss rolled his eyes begrudgingly and moved towards the shoddy machine.
* * *
They’d been flying for almost half an hour and Volt was pacing. “Talk about low budget flights… No food or movies? This is terrible!” Volt said this in Common as if to try and get the pilot to adjust his behavior.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiuOpPHGJn
Abyss, on the other hand, hadn’t expected leisure from PISTOL. Not to mutants like him and his brother, so he just sat patiently.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3lCZZX02F
Eventually he spoke up in the Rosorken tongue. “Volt, I’ve had something on my mind since before the first transport. Did the master say anything strange to you?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSarMydmY6
“How so?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7bosXP0qO
Abyss clenched his teeth and swallowed hard. Abyss lowered his voice, even though he knew the pilot couldn’t understand him anyway. “He said, ‘after you take down PISTOL, make sure you are the one last standing.’ Isn’t that concerning to you? It’s like he wants one of us to die.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qEPhfnAp3
“Not really. I doubt he would be so specific intentionally. He probably meant last ones.” Volt clearly wasn’t paying attention, but Abyss could only hope his brother was right. Volt crossed the platform a final time and stopped by the jet packs with a concerning amount of mischief in his eyes.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy5hcnskSi
“Hey, pilot! How much longer until the drop location? What are we looking for?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2oMm9hcy5
“Volt… what are you planning?” Abyss asked in Rosorken, voice laced with suspicion.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQYpI6a4L
“We have another 3 hours North-West. Sorry, kid. But the scenery’s pretty neat. The base is hidden behind a waterfall in a nice part of the forest. We’ll land on the river Bank just above and hike down for about 20 minutes.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIURgZGONEo
“Sounds awesome,” Volt answered in Common. Another mischievous spark. He switched back to answer Abyss. “You don’t want to sit around doing nothing for 3 hours do you? I could get us over there in…” He checked the helicopter’s speed gauge. “25 minutes if we stop to see the kryptinal formations .”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET986TqnrU
“I have a feeling that’s not an Earth saying,” Abyss answered, disinterested. “You’ll get us lost, you know.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yurGV2fWd
“And you have a perfect sense of direction,” Volt pressed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQvF6G68cl
“Flattery will not help you. I am not going.” Normally, this situation was backwards. Volt had a tendency to enthusiastically follow orders. He was a proud and powerful Rosorken Soldier. Meanwhile, Abyss was the one to sneak off to get some quiet and dodge meetings… but in this moment, he... had his reasons.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2gHjxqUdP
“I know you’re afraid of heights , but come on. I’ll be there for you. Plus, we have these,” Volt wrapped a hand around a strap on the parachutes.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh3L5yWFmH
“We have orders.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiAFXT4PPX
“We were told to go to the new location, but nobody told us we had to stay on the chopper,” Volt explained matter of factly. “Besides, I’m going whether or not you do, and you just mentioned how lost I’ll get.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKAkXCsh9I
Groaning, Abyss realized he wasn’t going to win this and had only one option. He sighed. “Fine. But if we end up street pancakes, I’m blaming you in the afterlife.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zLInFVj2D
Before Abyss could blink, Volt secured both parachutes onto their backs. “Fine by me, because we’ll be fine!” Volt was grinning like a mad man. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwmBjV7E8K
The pilot spoke up in that moment. “What are you both doing? It says the parachutes were taken down.” The man’s voice had reached an accusatory time despite his patience this far.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEct4ARk7QD
“That’s because they were.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXe6tDBp0
“I told you, I’m bored!” Volt complained. “So we! Are! Out of here!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbfertpMht
“What?!” The pilot exclaimed, immediately turning over his shoulder.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6NW7HlkoZ
Before he could do anything, Volt had pulled the emergency exit latch and shoved Abyss out the side of the helicopter.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMdeerpKkA
Wind whipped Abyss around like a rag doll. Gust of wind blew into his eyes and ears, making it difficult to process the situation. He wasn’t even able to scream as the sounds were blown back into his mouth.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LBdRDsR50
Abyssal’s long, dark hair whipped around and caught in his throat alongside his heavily beating heart. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFVPvWU9Cc
Gravity flipped Abyss so his back was to he ground. In that moment he was able to see Volt clearly.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vov9XGwYt
The blond twin’s arms were spread into a T-shape as he called down. “How are you doing?!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhncoFO46zE
Volt’s words were lost to the wind, but Abyss still responded. “You! Suck!” Abyss shouted back.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtIUoK1BB7
“Look!” Volt pulled his arms to his chest and leaned to one side, causing himself to spin. His spread his arms out again, catching himself when he was looking down at Abyss once more.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUxq0C1rl
It clicked in Abyssal’s mind. He mimicked his brother’s motions, finally straightening out again. Abyss was now in control of how he fell, but he wasn’t fond of watching the distant ground grow rapidly closer.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrumJoYVPn
In a moment, Volt dove down to Abyssal’s side.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdRKI4yTNQ
Volt laughed at the terrified glare Abyss gave him.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpcMFxMaH7
“Pull this chord!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJ8DIyO0g
“What?!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0gbOcyiff
Volt grabbed his parachute chord and pulled, the massive sheet exploded from Volt’s back, and the boy was violently yanked back.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx9V4bxu8z
Abyssal’s throat turned dry seeing the kickback, but he quickly decided that no matter how painful it wound up being, it would be a lot better than the incoming earth. Abyss scrambled for his parachute chord, twisting and turning off-balance.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8x3h4ZNS7
When he found it, he quickly pulled, not considering the consequences of opening the parachute when he wasn’t straightened out.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnziqQj58F
The parachute shot out and pulled his arm back, wrapping around his legs. A loud pop was heard and Abyss shouted in pain as he struggled to untangle himself. The ground came ever closer.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00ZNQULtku
Volt was unable to help as he hung from his own parachute. “No!” He thrashed about himself, trying to detach his parachute in attempts to reach his brother, but it was no use. He ever read that far in the user manual.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb1xT4vaWU
Miraculously, Volt’s help was unnecessary. Abyss managed to untangle himself, and his parachute spread to catch the wind.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvb95T8EO
Abyss landed first, collapsing onto the ground and his parachute covered his body. His limbs felt inflamed and his heart hammered. He gasped for air and coughed to get his hair from his mouth.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHcrB9EDaY
The moment Volt landed, he pulled off his pack an ran to his brother. “Abyss! Abyss, what were you thinking pulling the parachute prema-”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUSLgmLK7p
“What were you thinking?!” Abyss fired back. “You pushed me out when I knew nothing about this kind of situation!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn72fYZz39
Volt’s eyes were wide. Sure, Abyss tended to be grumpy, but never at Volt.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqip2KFgZY
And Volt had never heard Abyss yell before.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kE99t2aML
Abyss aggressively grabbed Volt’s wrist. “I need to borrow your healing. After that, we should run North-East.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlfz9Wccx3
“Of course, you can borrow my power any time,” Volt winced and grunted in slight pain as golden energy flowed from his wrist into Abyss. Abyssal’s irises turned pitch black, as if they vanished and his pupils dilated to take their place. “But why do you want to run North-East?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmfLn9YIOX
Abyssal’s pulled up a pant leg and watched rope burns from the parachute rapidly heal and sighed. Of course, Volt wasn’t really listening to the pilot. It was like a switch flipped the moment the Rosork weren’t breathing down Volt’s always perfect neck.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPAcNZSzVp
“That’s where the PISTOL headquarters are, Volt,” Abyss answered, popping his arm back into it’s socket. Volt sighed as Abyss let go, black eyes returning to the previous, dull gray.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkd2e6RTgT
“And since when do you care about being punctual?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZPCFjICEX
This response stunned Abyss. “We were sent here on our first job. Our worth is going to be dictated by this mission. In addition, we have PISTOL and the rosork to worry about now.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZPJmu0tve
“Oh, lighten up,” Volt said. “I want to go see the natives! Explore the world a bit! They aren’t expecting us for 3 hours.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOOHLp24X1
“I can’t believe this.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOfLtepllK
“I know right?! An aircraft that can’t even hit the speed of sound, much less match me.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyXtiMlnW
Abyss rolled his eyes. “So you want to run around for a couple hours before heading over. I can respect that.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch3R0JNBMO
“I thought so,” Volt grinned.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fG4L0U6my
In all honesty, I just do not want to be surrounded by so many stiffs again any time soon. Still, it’s only delaying the inevitable.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiaPuN3gw4
“Ready to go, bro?” Volt said, holding his hand out to help Abyss up.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QsmmAwYaA
“Oh, alright.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl7o8WV2cP
Abyss slapped Volt’s palm, and static encompassed their hands. Abyssal’s hair raised for a brief moment as his eyes became black holes once again, only this time, lightning seemed to zip through the black lake.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIeK6dIOGx
Volt knelt in a runner’s stance as golden electricity crackled in his own electric blue eyes.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4RUN8QgaZ
“Ready?” Volt said.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wYcn7DpbM
“I didn’t take too much energy, did I?” Abyss said. “Because I feel better than ever.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ytZCDO50
Volt chuckled and let his face settle into a smirk. “Alright then. Set, go.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMxdFk2iiz
* * *
As the two brothers dashed side-by-side through forests and towns, they saw everything the continent had to offer. Abyss had to leap over rivers to keep Volt from falling in, and Volt had to drag Abyss away from cliffs that he stared off of.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfFf46BhOJ
They stopped to smell the flowers and played games with little kids before getting chased off school grounds by security.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZsrPoAD9D
They even chased a trucker down a country road, watching the man drive off the side of the road at full speed before getting stuck in some mud. 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDmyisCHnp
After some time, as the sun went down, Abyss realized how late it had gotten. “We need to get to the headquarters. We’re beyond late by now.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQktBoZdm1l
“Oh, brother. I can’t believe I let you make us late again.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZJlHzE5Xm
“Me?!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvw0SSympE
Volt put his hands up into the air. “Sorry! Force of habit. Anyway, it doesn’t matter anymore, right? We’ve left the rosork far behind.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4l2lGdaZW
Abyssal’s shoulders sagged. As much as he wanted to see things that way, the twins still belonged to those aliens. After they successfully take down the world government and PISTOL, it’s back to training and slaving away on the Morbitor (this was the name of their main ship). 28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg2q33azQe
“After everything we’ve seen today…” Abyss muttered. Volt raised an eyebrow. “Would you be able to kill? Even for Kronos and the plan? We saw some nice old ladies, and those kids were great. Why are we trying to harvest the human race anyway? So I can absorb the planet’s energy with my ability and transfer it to the rosork’s systems like a walking rechargeable battery?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ1iIbLor9
“The planet is pretty great. The sights, the sounds, the people. Maybe we should reconsider. But, then again. Orders are orders. And until I get strict orders not to wreck this watery planet, I’m going to go all out. We can make this fun.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJbMXhJIsO
Abyss groaned. There was the over-enthusiastically obedient brother Abyss always knew. “Still… What if-”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6zHPr3ds6
“There’s one other problem though,” Volt said.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTH66HHeR
“What would that be?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdmDjKyOJL
“We are completely lost.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsMeoo9Oo5
Why am I surprised? Abyss wondered in annoyance. “We are not lost. I know exactly where we are. Believe it or not, I made sure we didn’t stray too far from the I15. The headquarters are South-East of here. We traveled a significant distance. It will be dark by the time we get back.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWxTltsJES
Volt laughed. “That’s my brother. Not the biggest genius, but a pro with directions.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O3mloCrZ4
“Just follow the landmarks. There’s some cool stuff if you pay attention. And once you realize that, you’ll remember what you see and make it back to the start with ease.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr51YEMZzu
“Huh.” Volt shrugged. “Lead the way. And make it quick. We’re already late, so no detours this time.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgNDwrxuCa
Abyss huffed before running off at the speed of light, closely followed by Volt.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArnkM7OWfU
