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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ016hj6lbB
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6qk1k9Np3
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSy1TS3MiN
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kuaTh4o0u
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?148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaauWR6K6Q2
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k9viCcKrr
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxbwA7LecI
Such things Abyss never would have recognized before. Not after living his entire life with the Rosork.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyx5Ppcn0s
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. 148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYOa7q82x7
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. 148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlI20M66zW
The twins were informed that they wouldn’t be moved to the main militarized base of operations for another few hours.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcljnrI3Q1
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ZW2wVBZi
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkcc8PN4Is
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SvGnNyh02
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsfGkRmbrh
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZnFiOugk4
“Where did you go?” Volt asked. He didn’t seem offended in any way, just genuinely curious.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3e8soSvsD
“Bathroom,” Abyss muttered awkwardly. He clenched his teeth, crossed his legs, and folded his arms, holding his face in its stoic expression.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu1VPUkg0s
“What’s with you?” Volt teased.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SKGf3fgH1
“What do you mean?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j8EZjsLqq
“You seem so…. Awkward.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGAg7Iw9rw
“I’m not awkward!” Abyss growled.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw2Jwq4ztb
Volt shrugged, choosing not to think anything more of Abyss’s closed-off behavior.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypW4Ma8E8r
“I was wandering around and heard some people talking about us,” Volt said casually.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbXVYrzy8r
“What?” Abyss hissed.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93pNqU2Yez
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUEHtLEbpK
Abyss was half surprised that only one group spotted Volt. The guy could be seen a mile away!148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBomu2CuQK
“But they were talking about our family.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70eDKblbZo
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3FgPqtBNy
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbXBXfyeza
“So? What does that have to do with our family? The Rosork could have altered our genetics without them being involved.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsZOWIPWZ5
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HYOQlyeb8
Abyss twitched at Volt’s verbiage. “Mutants? Is that what they’re calling us?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThplXKtCnT
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkJQ7OsnJT
“Whatever. But doesn’t that make us the very things PISTOL wants to annihilate?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNOCOG5vxT
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBk785YF5Z
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwYkXvXegR
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyLchXIDMy
“You’re going to make an interesting Trojan Horse.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7n4rVuESK
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPeKJ7B9RY
“A chopper?! Like a helicopter?!” Volt exclaimed, eyes wide.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgtM8AYRbu
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsspqbPM7YU
The same man looked over his shoulder. “Are you coming or not?” the man growled.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hQk4LI0K
Volt jumped up in excitement, Abyss in fearful obedience. Abyss regretted his sluggishness.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF77b4kgbEc
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf8a2bRjHv
Abyss struggled in his attempts to calm himself down, but the best he could do was maintain his warrior’s mask.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zfzzeA0dd
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHdaW7RWWt
Meanwhile, Volt still appeared optimistic and overjoyed about the whole ordeal.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLT00G8iyN
How? Nothing on earth was ever anything the twins experienced through their life with the Rosork.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUAQW5qa36
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).148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcY9rVm0v
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5kl7nmPhE
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI9UiOc5oj
The escort’s face hardened into a glare, directed towards Volt, and Abyss winced.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9vPm3kEkW
Purging inhuman species.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqBCiRBpI8
“And I don’t see a singular jet or hover module to begin the ship’s perfectly vertical ascent! Isn’t that awesome, Sol ?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxjlWvGeeq
Abyss realized he’d gotten distracted and missed half of what Volt said. “Uh… sure.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5h9b4dD8U
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!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34xp99OblF
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?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDtcDDN3Qk
“We’ve been using and improving choppers for decades,” the escort growled impatiently. “We need to relocate you both quickly, so if you would-”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ojjxFp8A
Volt was aboard the helicopter before the man could finish.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjh6l7E4cS
“Quickly it is! Ten steps ahead of you!” Volt cheered. “Come on, Abyss!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hkbzXLRYF
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf7sMXAubl
Abyss, on the other hand, hadn’t expected leisure from PISTOL. Not to mutants like him and his brother, so he just sat patiently.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnj9xSEgHq
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?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSquZdVxmO1
“How so?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1eZ5jTLEA
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3cAfRYyW6
“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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulLEsBiJpo
“Hey, pilot! How much longer until the drop location? What are we looking for?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBqpJlFBMc
“Volt… what are you planning?” Abyss asked in Rosorken, voice laced with suspicion.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy3OVEyEmG
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknatg9ASsJ
“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 .”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGuYhf5Rh
“I have a feeling that’s not an Earth saying,” Abyss answered, disinterested. “You’ll get us lost, you know.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLatucrIof
“And you have a perfect sense of direction,” Volt pressed.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcB7z83m8l
“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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdposwVY3Z
“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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2amAypcxVc
“We have orders.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGepUGrGMA
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf0KhbEn30
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXAvLiOtsp
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. 148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR7jbyQ3er
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6bw2mmAcx
“That’s because they were.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxUX0ffHrn
“I told you, I’m bored!” Volt complained. “So we! Are! Out of here!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7sc1Zv5Qj
“What?!” The pilot exclaimed, immediately turning over his shoulder.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjtnjq4QoB
Before he could do anything, Volt had pulled the emergency exit latch and shoved Abyss out the side of the helicopter.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS8To872p4
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMSfEh8uH
Abyssal’s long, dark hair whipped around and caught in his throat alongside his heavily beating heart. 148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVHhn9jdB2
Gravity flipped Abyss so his back was to he ground. In that moment he was able to see Volt clearly.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbckgNSUtW
The blond twin’s arms were spread into a T-shape as he called down. “How are you doing?!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsUOzqQo0i
Volt’s words were lost to the wind, but Abyss still responded. “You! Suck!” Abyss shouted back.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTn6JoQXtj
“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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvkU3zEwVS
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GMXcniVAZ
In a moment, Volt dove down to Abyssal’s side.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2aFaJwyLt
Volt laughed at the terrified glare Abyss gave him.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcf6xeX5Xf
“Pull this chord!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvs9IZXsay
“What?!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6bv2z9sNz
Volt grabbed his parachute chord and pulled, the massive sheet exploded from Volt’s back, and the boy was violently yanked back.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGX7QQZnsH
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyl398DdpW
When he found it, he quickly pulled, not considering the consequences of opening the parachute when he wasn’t straightened out.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJZM1OtWxC
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsBa6GISUo
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVu9OdySj4
Miraculously, Volt’s help was unnecessary. Abyss managed to untangle himself, and his parachute spread to catch the wind.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJci0D7XhrW
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcX5pIMj7C
The moment Volt landed, he pulled off his pack an ran to his brother. “Abyss! Abyss, what were you thinking pulling the parachute prema-”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGhyvu8EFA
“What were you thinking?!” Abyss fired back. “You pushed me out when I knew nothing about this kind of situation!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFBuL3CqN
Volt’s eyes were wide. Sure, Abyss tended to be grumpy, but never at Volt.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRxxRa1XqD
And Volt had never heard Abyss yell before.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnUUwWUAtl
Abyss aggressively grabbed Volt’s wrist. “I need to borrow your healing. After that, we should run North-East.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNDViQFDiH
“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?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXKjQTHTMR
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKfduIDeyO
“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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFyB8h2E81
“And since when do you care about being punctual?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWAIe9kWdD
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ309m2yh4sT
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhuPIPqiL8
“I can’t believe this.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSfncGw5Pi
“I know right?! An aircraft that can’t even hit the speed of sound, much less match me.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kgGpNBPiC
Abyss rolled his eyes. “So you want to run around for a couple hours before heading over. I can respect that.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NRdUrWmic
“I thought so,” Volt grinned.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNVUBfgCTe
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C678aE6jG
“Ready to go, bro?” Volt said, holding his hand out to help Abyss up.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8vbkSzH4c
“Oh, alright.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA5bCiMHKo
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3Y55dGfC
Volt knelt in a runner’s stance as golden electricity crackled in his own electric blue eyes.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CEEy5kBoJ
“Ready?” Volt said.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwdu4dnL9Q
“I didn’t take too much energy, did I?” Abyss said. “Because I feel better than ever.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyTrE4sU8k
Volt chuckled and let his face settle into a smirk. “Alright then. Set, go.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1sSlF2g5U
* * *
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd6a7ziEmp
They stopped to smell the flowers and played games with little kids before getting chased off school grounds by security.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNFDEVNS3x
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. 148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLQc4OYqMG
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEXWJyebTV
“Oh, brother. I can’t believe I let you make us late again.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2am2gAyw8
“Me?!”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0JeJOuE5V
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp5vxl71gn
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). 148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo0UG9xkuR
“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?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJKhzHyBrV
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTDEd0axR
Abyss groaned. There was the over-enthusiastically obedient brother Abyss always knew. “Still… What if-”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2KsI3IxBz
“There’s one other problem though,” Volt said.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSzK2o3k3y
“What would that be?”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEyC7dZwB3
“We are completely lost.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHqAUNYRsX
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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bkfcc2iIO
Volt laughed. “That’s my brother. Not the biggest genius, but a pro with directions.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ldc0pNpkT
“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.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLxmzQRIIK
“Huh.” Volt shrugged. “Lead the way. And make it quick. We’re already late, so no detours this time.”148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Mwk36NdE
Abyss huffed before running off at the speed of light, closely followed by Volt.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaZcvUozvp
