“I hate this part.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44vofEzFh
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFhNqitL3I
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ933hGQvtXN
“Rhim!”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gawYl2WM7
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6epaajVaiC
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOui6GxqEsP
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx54PzS2Z7
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lnQ2bNbI4
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0WyEgKFlN
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDPvuOxjI
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MhIPnY9n5
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMLdcleSvz
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxyFpIbhTB
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTLVAxjpoo
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLBePpMFBU
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6LDLThxPn
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpsZdT791Z
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1eGEriXNV
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUx6FDNRjg
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXYb05VROi
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxnJc8RWsE
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMWjISBpo
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNEfBcfDfD
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOHahFcotV
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgiOqaZxYP
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER5kgQIvwO
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e6fS4Flxn
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6tnVQHMgs
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyZZcSjxFf
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IkjTP9opE
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBIXSbNxE2
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dKthcl5Ji
“In three... two... one... Mark!”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp3yvFh807
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42KAXWKLlo
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01GjGWqF41
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPxX2VMGFm
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuOc3p7I95
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU183bccSN8
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu0Tf9k5V3
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqKJkTleN
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5regpYpYbD
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCptnKXorMw
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67JJrxgZM
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1evAL8YT5b
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH7yIKvRhb
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76YRYLY4F2
more and then impact was finally made...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wn9fxoV1A
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajKadXN3yf
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZwcFGKpLx
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZgNIUB2Fb
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb292PYbSPo
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f3QUI5ktm
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqgoH6YIMm
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl9lAwB4PU
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM20gGBGtBW
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdnWbi17r
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7Z7JIEPh
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9nFTDOPfb
