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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5CT1MCEjJ
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCphifSCUZa
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK4gV0yC9o
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xJa74p1xr
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?43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTSv1nCPr1
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaOnfgL8Sp
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5oo8ofZMf
Such things Abyss never would have recognized before. Not after living his entire life with the Rosork.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSq3UAYmKs
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. 43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E3QuWgl4e
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. 43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsVP73Ahr
The twins were informed that they wouldn’t be moved to the main militarized base of operations for another few hours.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgdJeQNlXb
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYp9ZoGA47
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl7NFUZ1xR
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D2eeYxqGM
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwG7DAFDJV
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIYIKAd4SY
“Where did you go?” Volt asked. He didn’t seem offended in any way, just genuinely curious.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK3cLYOj5M
“Bathroom,” Abyss muttered awkwardly. He clenched his teeth, crossed his legs, and folded his arms, holding his face in its stoic expression.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUnQZML4ZJ
“What’s with you?” Volt teased.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFDkzwQtFR
“What do you mean?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxo964HJlA
“You seem so…. Awkward.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoftNVcFUqb
“I’m not awkward!” Abyss growled.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7QmRzndNr
Volt shrugged, choosing not to think anything more of Abyss’s closed-off behavior.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBxEDMi1Wa
“I was wandering around and heard some people talking about us,” Volt said casually.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qWXMyLB3
“What?” Abyss hissed.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ziYhquta
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxMrMLNatL
Abyss was half surprised that only one group spotted Volt. The guy could be seen a mile away!43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdgzefBe0W
“But they were talking about our family.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFGJkpBAlZ
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU7Wtwn3mc
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA8MPMNI3p
“So? What does that have to do with our family? The Rosork could have altered our genetics without them being involved.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgftXgy1okS
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmqwbEjzPB
Abyss twitched at Volt’s verbiage. “Mutants? Is that what they’re calling us?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OYGUF6FxH
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jBoy3k8m
“Whatever. But doesn’t that make us the very things PISTOL wants to annihilate?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa2mEYSAkv
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7kWdc6XxF
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6g8tjMIzt
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L32y37Uh5
“You’re going to make an interesting Trojan Horse.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiXYMzMIfY
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbPn551ICP
“A chopper?! Like a helicopter?!” Volt exclaimed, eyes wide.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoydObw9IXX
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNR0I3Ef3c
The same man looked over his shoulder. “Are you coming or not?” the man growled.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpaS4QKyau
Volt jumped up in excitement, Abyss in fearful obedience. Abyss regretted his sluggishness.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lpw3kq63w
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjEQBMzgjb
Abyss struggled in his attempts to calm himself down, but the best he could do was maintain his warrior’s mask.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtJwrnxirv
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZX8m3UqJE
Meanwhile, Volt still appeared optimistic and overjoyed about the whole ordeal.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X2mEpNFL9
How? Nothing on earth was ever anything the twins experienced through their life with the Rosork.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1crTGZgxgb
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).43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0tTjzdz6M
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIek3EZA9o
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSecvuueRLN
The escort’s face hardened into a glare, directed towards Volt, and Abyss winced.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkeD0p7fmV
Purging inhuman species.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE4dcbLoVn
“And I don’t see a singular jet or hover module to begin the ship’s perfectly vertical ascent! Isn’t that awesome, Sol ?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xEmvAR09X
Abyss realized he’d gotten distracted and missed half of what Volt said. “Uh… sure.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9yrT4SaB
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!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeVQopZwYv
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?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmNsCXTSGv
“We’ve been using and improving choppers for decades,” the escort growled impatiently. “We need to relocate you both quickly, so if you would-”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrSVU9wMJA
Volt was aboard the helicopter before the man could finish.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvr8VNimt0
“Quickly it is! Ten steps ahead of you!” Volt cheered. “Come on, Abyss!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHmWDFBIp5
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKTpws0Kxc
Abyss, on the other hand, hadn’t expected leisure from PISTOL. Not to mutants like him and his brother, so he just sat patiently.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zntv9OlgL
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?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qYrNqjpXl
“How so?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDjJQo2KNg
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbk2OYtrwe
“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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZUGVBUGqx
“Hey, pilot! How much longer until the drop location? What are we looking for?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRndR4Qf74L
“Volt… what are you planning?” Abyss asked in Rosorken, voice laced with suspicion.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpqEdJPovM
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5iicTm4qJ
“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 .”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYUUM17mHV
“I have a feeling that’s not an Earth saying,” Abyss answered, disinterested. “You’ll get us lost, you know.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpWQ0clIyA
“And you have a perfect sense of direction,” Volt pressed.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5mguOTuv
“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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh3myobz1b
“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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SsxoyjnDX
“We have orders.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFX8iGyajF
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rDtmKvHng
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzrlu4KnK
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. 43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z0lIMaqit
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2ll6xpM30
“That’s because they were.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatN4M6oF51
“I told you, I’m bored!” Volt complained. “So we! Are! Out of here!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACWk5qj61
“What?!” The pilot exclaimed, immediately turning over his shoulder.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3VGkqD4bL
Before he could do anything, Volt had pulled the emergency exit latch and shoved Abyss out the side of the helicopter.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3JjBhUOjz
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOnhDVliKd
Abyssal’s long, dark hair whipped around and caught in his throat alongside his heavily beating heart. 43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BvgF60S7d
Gravity flipped Abyss so his back was to he ground. In that moment he was able to see Volt clearly.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4QlL7u5O3
The blond twin’s arms were spread into a T-shape as he called down. “How are you doing?!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Em8e8JDyr
Volt’s words were lost to the wind, but Abyss still responded. “You! Suck!” Abyss shouted back.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKefQRYPWSH
“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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnfu7hzjR0
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMggWXqnH6
In a moment, Volt dove down to Abyssal’s side.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4pDXpkxA
Volt laughed at the terrified glare Abyss gave him.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbORxirdcxp
“Pull this chord!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv972LILlon
“What?!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJuHwONMMf
Volt grabbed his parachute chord and pulled, the massive sheet exploded from Volt’s back, and the boy was violently yanked back.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOii4zfAqWw
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u5dyJLIdL
When he found it, he quickly pulled, not considering the consequences of opening the parachute when he wasn’t straightened out.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeAGjYrdA6
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjkfpB23za
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YxB8KRkG
Miraculously, Volt’s help was unnecessary. Abyss managed to untangle himself, and his parachute spread to catch the wind.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvE2fCXZ2o
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjSXCJgsqm
The moment Volt landed, he pulled off his pack an ran to his brother. “Abyss! Abyss, what were you thinking pulling the parachute prema-”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk2XmHcvvG
“What were you thinking?!” Abyss fired back. “You pushed me out when I knew nothing about this kind of situation!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi52THajuw
Volt’s eyes were wide. Sure, Abyss tended to be grumpy, but never at Volt.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNXqq83mKk
And Volt had never heard Abyss yell before.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfYGRwxAWw
Abyss aggressively grabbed Volt’s wrist. “I need to borrow your healing. After that, we should run North-East.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD4LGoQad3
“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?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMewrGTdFP
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L8GvGFj6L
“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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCOBWY0baR
“And since when do you care about being punctual?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj8tZKyoxK
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfrBSpAlHD
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ciADwnVrE
“I can’t believe this.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxziY3yhjqW
“I know right?! An aircraft that can’t even hit the speed of sound, much less match me.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOziECNadp4
Abyss rolled his eyes. “So you want to run around for a couple hours before heading over. I can respect that.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8KH5hSgQ8
“I thought so,” Volt grinned.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9DBLse4Uq
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzRtMWNCv5
“Ready to go, bro?” Volt said, holding his hand out to help Abyss up.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKAevLSms
“Oh, alright.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1iEZiubMJ
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qVsJoZvDc
Volt knelt in a runner’s stance as golden electricity crackled in his own electric blue eyes.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpXY5D0Bjy
“Ready?” Volt said.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz1sKr4Dfi
“I didn’t take too much energy, did I?” Abyss said. “Because I feel better than ever.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fiyUTm50N
Volt chuckled and let his face settle into a smirk. “Alright then. Set, go.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZgFlnynjK
* * *
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDxEOunG2
They stopped to smell the flowers and played games with little kids before getting chased off school grounds by security.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeodQGodtz9
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. 43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx464VzrkV
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOxsfyOsbM
“Oh, brother. I can’t believe I let you make us late again.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q8B5VJZ8E
“Me?!”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCvFYQVtPZ
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ojuZOfXW5
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). 43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj8FcegPml
“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?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGSV5UqCtP
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO0xBGkrzM
Abyss groaned. There was the over-enthusiastically obedient brother Abyss always knew. “Still… What if-”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJunphTZ4ST
“There’s one other problem though,” Volt said.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGt2Z6W18D
“What would that be?”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPoQpLvkX
“We are completely lost.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPwHrdub5J
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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii8pQlFVjN
Volt laughed. “That’s my brother. Not the biggest genius, but a pro with directions.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJved67oPT
“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.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpS0QqyLYk
“Huh.” Volt shrugged. “Lead the way. And make it quick. We’re already late, so no detours this time.”43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyyTTOYT7a
Abyss huffed before running off at the speed of light, closely followed by Volt.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTOvK5emh3
