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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOHCkWn8by
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReWwhbG0m0
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfN8ZN3Ep6
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejXQE9Ue2b
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?153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUAxVFqnEM
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxyLSiHw3
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3C3SZQoB
Such things Abyss never would have recognized before. Not after living his entire life with the Rosork.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8061unmvo0
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb96MIbN8t1
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJgVBI4OR
The twins were informed that they wouldn’t be moved to the main militarized base of operations for another few hours.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom1LCtgWK1
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqeT2rB2Va
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxpNU2qXNP
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq7zgtOI64
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo07e786GW
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf90rn8vk8W
“Where did you go?” Volt asked. He didn’t seem offended in any way, just genuinely curious.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprltYrcR1b
“Bathroom,” Abyss muttered awkwardly. He clenched his teeth, crossed his legs, and folded his arms, holding his face in its stoic expression.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaLZtrTPSJ
“What’s with you?” Volt teased.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldhidGyNYl
“What do you mean?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kNRwXZJDK
“You seem so…. Awkward.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYezYNEfzM
“I’m not awkward!” Abyss growled.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0eTPc3pM6
Volt shrugged, choosing not to think anything more of Abyss’s closed-off behavior.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeH4OMbDUP
“I was wandering around and heard some people talking about us,” Volt said casually.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeascJnEfxn
“What?” Abyss hissed.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ034HgdXENx
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihFc7TWoKr
Abyss was half surprised that only one group spotted Volt. The guy could be seen a mile away!153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMKROcqrWB
“But they were talking about our family.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvyKbSQjNj
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyTs5qKwPE
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7IERn5FdW
“So? What does that have to do with our family? The Rosork could have altered our genetics without them being involved.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZO5r9VZYN
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILDMhwcXYi
Abyss twitched at Volt’s verbiage. “Mutants? Is that what they’re calling us?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlUotP2R7I
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S5erWGj98
“Whatever. But doesn’t that make us the very things PISTOL wants to annihilate?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFDB2OSHe7
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiq65LTHMI
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRiCirg8w
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopqnIMWr2Y
“You’re going to make an interesting Trojan Horse.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZHM2ADhCn
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82slWQnV3J
“A chopper?! Like a helicopter?!” Volt exclaimed, eyes wide.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz1WXvCx4J
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuA5iSOILU
The same man looked over his shoulder. “Are you coming or not?” the man growled.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4wLxNSVHO
Volt jumped up in excitement, Abyss in fearful obedience. Abyss regretted his sluggishness.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIcw0Y0PU4
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkMmLi8fxG
Abyss struggled in his attempts to calm himself down, but the best he could do was maintain his warrior’s mask.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY3p8Br3hp
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaLUYuMpVR
Meanwhile, Volt still appeared optimistic and overjoyed about the whole ordeal.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kbpXb4RME
How? Nothing on earth was ever anything the twins experienced through their life with the Rosork.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w80g6Inyd
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).153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDBW4yL5W2
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkK13qQcRa
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMKTTkffFA
The escort’s face hardened into a glare, directed towards Volt, and Abyss winced.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREBVxKaaru
Purging inhuman species.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU23HRQOFc
“And I don’t see a singular jet or hover module to begin the ship’s perfectly vertical ascent! Isn’t that awesome, Sol ?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOfwIp5ckF
Abyss realized he’d gotten distracted and missed half of what Volt said. “Uh… sure.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HH4Qb5ce8
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!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnMczJqlTs
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?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxhvVCArEF
“We’ve been using and improving choppers for decades,” the escort growled impatiently. “We need to relocate you both quickly, so if you would-”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyWZXjDY3
Volt was aboard the helicopter before the man could finish.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcRZMS85oZ
“Quickly it is! Ten steps ahead of you!” Volt cheered. “Come on, Abyss!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTQlUjyRp
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkVde3asbS
Abyss, on the other hand, hadn’t expected leisure from PISTOL. Not to mutants like him and his brother, so he just sat patiently.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmxYUVTLU2
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?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMekGJxy7id
“How so?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSJ1ZmK3Lw
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpycCvaM8C
“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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jThLyGPST
“Hey, pilot! How much longer until the drop location? What are we looking for?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gDXONJx8W
“Volt… what are you planning?” Abyss asked in Rosorken, voice laced with suspicion.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhcMc3u1So
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf02AMDSUDa
“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 .”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Pvoy3Axe
“I have a feeling that’s not an Earth saying,” Abyss answered, disinterested. “You’ll get us lost, you know.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsz7y2XUyN
“And you have a perfect sense of direction,” Volt pressed.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr713duEi9
“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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W90AM5Muk
“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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx3KJeJ9jp
“We have orders.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc7uDOGA1B
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5jSKfZHVP
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzy7mx9iKn
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WZirGoaBB
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhetU8wL8g3
“That’s because they were.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG4y5cLkiL
“I told you, I’m bored!” Volt complained. “So we! Are! Out of here!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo3j5L4snW
“What?!” The pilot exclaimed, immediately turning over his shoulder.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ02ySTk9v
Before he could do anything, Volt had pulled the emergency exit latch and shoved Abyss out the side of the helicopter.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXHti3Ms47
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoK3bdmIe9
Abyssal’s long, dark hair whipped around and caught in his throat alongside his heavily beating heart. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt90AjonKVv
Gravity flipped Abyss so his back was to he ground. In that moment he was able to see Volt clearly.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW0Xnz5MCS
The blond twin’s arms were spread into a T-shape as he called down. “How are you doing?!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzaJeNr8n
Volt’s words were lost to the wind, but Abyss still responded. “You! Suck!” Abyss shouted back.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMc8ghSi8T
“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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnTo80mSyd
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZjjJm30QF
In a moment, Volt dove down to Abyssal’s side.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzHj8eC2ck
Volt laughed at the terrified glare Abyss gave him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjeiTJ5wwh
“Pull this chord!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tskZUuDuo
“What?!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7JgGPaPLp
Volt grabbed his parachute chord and pulled, the massive sheet exploded from Volt’s back, and the boy was violently yanked back.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kQ2rrXqlX
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmENtKHebDr
When he found it, he quickly pulled, not considering the consequences of opening the parachute when he wasn’t straightened out.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fR0sy4C2P
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBhEmxZcUm
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lzKAX1bXl
Miraculously, Volt’s help was unnecessary. Abyss managed to untangle himself, and his parachute spread to catch the wind.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmfsdrXlXY
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXVkUdYT1
The moment Volt landed, he pulled off his pack an ran to his brother. “Abyss! Abyss, what were you thinking pulling the parachute prema-”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcH6MfFmAh
“What were you thinking?!” Abyss fired back. “You pushed me out when I knew nothing about this kind of situation!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl01lv9MuY
Volt’s eyes were wide. Sure, Abyss tended to be grumpy, but never at Volt.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fIRaTMqze
And Volt had never heard Abyss yell before.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HKs28bPug
Abyss aggressively grabbed Volt’s wrist. “I need to borrow your healing. After that, we should run North-East.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWvIhFJrK
“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?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3VhEpJZ6W
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vJLPYZinK
“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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNxzktCg8S
“And since when do you care about being punctual?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fm4zOyQ6T
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdIyZHukKf
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnLaKcnT3a
“I can’t believe this.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXRmhiCnn
“I know right?! An aircraft that can’t even hit the speed of sound, much less match me.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu7vXEq5Y2
Abyss rolled his eyes. “So you want to run around for a couple hours before heading over. I can respect that.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfl1xgo43
“I thought so,” Volt grinned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBcZFELipP
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81wY4Ca9j
“Ready to go, bro?” Volt said, holding his hand out to help Abyss up.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmsL2yFnIW
“Oh, alright.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpHDdBfX6v
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXLGIGCG0R
Volt knelt in a runner’s stance as golden electricity crackled in his own electric blue eyes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoU1M2Wxi0
“Ready?” Volt said.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cWmRUXosS
“I didn’t take too much energy, did I?” Abyss said. “Because I feel better than ever.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0bmDgWgg
Volt chuckled and let his face settle into a smirk. “Alright then. Set, go.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixMYt4gE84
* * *
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspxiyuvQCk
They stopped to smell the flowers and played games with little kids before getting chased off school grounds by security.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCii5Q8HYpi
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP54APK6TT
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qPVxBp8s
“Oh, brother. I can’t believe I let you make us late again.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pymYJS7tu
“Me?!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1EP9GlJGF
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYipMb5CBD
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). 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh2GJ5xC8x
“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?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDzMRpXx2h
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHTOjtbF5i
Abyss groaned. There was the over-enthusiastically obedient brother Abyss always knew. “Still… What if-”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpCETb5Vq6
“There’s one other problem though,” Volt said.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMlbgBFnaK
“What would that be?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNk3yFvnn
“We are completely lost.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaf1SAzSuD
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaifbl3KiUH
Volt laughed. “That’s my brother. Not the biggest genius, but a pro with directions.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoivrHlh03
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHsPJw8Bl
“Huh.” Volt shrugged. “Lead the way. And make it quick. We’re already late, so no detours this time.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpxhJ32ira
Abyss huffed before running off at the speed of light, closely followed by Volt.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F5VTTNJgT
