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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42nL4DQc6a
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEAu2xrw9H
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqsagrtOw
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaiT7Q2k7U
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?22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDChywBhd5
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC5w6hQpct
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXVCClZ5td
Such things Abyss never would have recognized before. Not after living his entire life with the Rosork.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw8mGiu8RO
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. 22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnTkwiWtem
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. 22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk9N8XilcE
The twins were informed that they wouldn’t be moved to the main militarized base of operations for another few hours.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7rNetu5lY
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnkpdPRZu
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCL7XQQGVp
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeLSwtZ5SB
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeemphSlJ4o
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeOURXkhEk
“Where did you go?” Volt asked. He didn’t seem offended in any way, just genuinely curious.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhyj3RV0Vu
“Bathroom,” Abyss muttered awkwardly. He clenched his teeth, crossed his legs, and folded his arms, holding his face in its stoic expression.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7OpAmvTAO
“What’s with you?” Volt teased.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXdaeajO9p
“What do you mean?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW6T3uKkVn
“You seem so…. Awkward.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgu3UuqjVw
“I’m not awkward!” Abyss growled.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4qacLueF
Volt shrugged, choosing not to think anything more of Abyss’s closed-off behavior.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoFAdj9W7T
“I was wandering around and heard some people talking about us,” Volt said casually.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr8bdLUu57
“What?” Abyss hissed.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4pvGow7q
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07sihbYVFr
Abyss was half surprised that only one group spotted Volt. The guy could be seen a mile away!22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7Tf5UDoF
“But they were talking about our family.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJtWqmHG0G
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk36M2s4xOt
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OnmDrWWNj
“So? What does that have to do with our family? The Rosork could have altered our genetics without them being involved.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6f5P6ZIXF
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VHrpkNLiv
Abyss twitched at Volt’s verbiage. “Mutants? Is that what they’re calling us?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt7WeV2MD7
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY9CFW1ETH
“Whatever. But doesn’t that make us the very things PISTOL wants to annihilate?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgDLeZgTFI
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAgW2yULLQ
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMOOpYPmwk
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5bzBbgFV4
“You’re going to make an interesting Trojan Horse.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimP5OWV7vx
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4hdwkLLt1
“A chopper?! Like a helicopter?!” Volt exclaimed, eyes wide.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu9s4T3UrL
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldHOvMmD35
The same man looked over his shoulder. “Are you coming or not?” the man growled.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2q9WJAabH
Volt jumped up in excitement, Abyss in fearful obedience. Abyss regretted his sluggishness.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPDblBs2Y
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWmgkM0hnY
Abyss struggled in his attempts to calm himself down, but the best he could do was maintain his warrior’s mask.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiYPvnwvB9
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lSZpiX9Fe
Meanwhile, Volt still appeared optimistic and overjoyed about the whole ordeal.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DFysTpTg5
How? Nothing on earth was ever anything the twins experienced through their life with the Rosork.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiPanX8F1g
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).22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrsoEzeRDT
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHhnu1eEl
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhH1J48TLi
The escort’s face hardened into a glare, directed towards Volt, and Abyss winced.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQm0S4zQ1l
Purging inhuman species.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi5GwT4y8j
“And I don’t see a singular jet or hover module to begin the ship’s perfectly vertical ascent! Isn’t that awesome, Sol ?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh7Vek80nr
Abyss realized he’d gotten distracted and missed half of what Volt said. “Uh… sure.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaI4evAyQb
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!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IwCXZGUOR
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?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINQDP9EvkI
“We’ve been using and improving choppers for decades,” the escort growled impatiently. “We need to relocate you both quickly, so if you would-”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXAz9JWUta
Volt was aboard the helicopter before the man could finish.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQeNL0eif3
“Quickly it is! Ten steps ahead of you!” Volt cheered. “Come on, Abyss!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMpE5YUnhz
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopIxVOupLp
Abyss, on the other hand, hadn’t expected leisure from PISTOL. Not to mutants like him and his brother, so he just sat patiently.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMrJf7YTBI
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?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGJ1aL2Kua
“How so?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ameCxOuEb
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi69sgLk54
“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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ycFcdcr8r
“Hey, pilot! How much longer until the drop location? What are we looking for?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6H08OPC3K
“Volt… what are you planning?” Abyss asked in Rosorken, voice laced with suspicion.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCdoojrpCG
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyMu8R5y69
“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 .”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX5IKT2zdI
“I have a feeling that’s not an Earth saying,” Abyss answered, disinterested. “You’ll get us lost, you know.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0TaWW1u60
“And you have a perfect sense of direction,” Volt pressed.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp96DuUUYx
“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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DcSbKlFxi
“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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJoDL8aQWg
“We have orders.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yEZpl4Foc
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuhGaM2TuZ
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrKapl1TnF
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. 22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzV0O6hBU1
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gF4bu6BZe
“That’s because they were.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQA06cGWp2
“I told you, I’m bored!” Volt complained. “So we! Are! Out of here!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWFbe9bKfa
“What?!” The pilot exclaimed, immediately turning over his shoulder.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnQ1Y7GXqy
Before he could do anything, Volt had pulled the emergency exit latch and shoved Abyss out the side of the helicopter.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkFUaeJnEJ
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnyT5LHFHs
Abyssal’s long, dark hair whipped around and caught in his throat alongside his heavily beating heart. 22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKxageskM0
Gravity flipped Abyss so his back was to he ground. In that moment he was able to see Volt clearly.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofonHDIZ3R
The blond twin’s arms were spread into a T-shape as he called down. “How are you doing?!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K9vSlNRfb
Volt’s words were lost to the wind, but Abyss still responded. “You! Suck!” Abyss shouted back.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjpck9Zne0
“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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzeMOxh3hh
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVL2ioUZDX
In a moment, Volt dove down to Abyssal’s side.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3udYqvIm0
Volt laughed at the terrified glare Abyss gave him.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccPtFPHYr
“Pull this chord!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJ4dn7DVo
“What?!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QXFj4mPT6
Volt grabbed his parachute chord and pulled, the massive sheet exploded from Volt’s back, and the boy was violently yanked back.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwS59GWMnP
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ih3BjAgwr
When he found it, he quickly pulled, not considering the consequences of opening the parachute when he wasn’t straightened out.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFGKwzFpRI
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLe8DFyAw
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm57mEg97o
Miraculously, Volt’s help was unnecessary. Abyss managed to untangle himself, and his parachute spread to catch the wind.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0NbLJ6yty
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHC4vhPwQ
The moment Volt landed, he pulled off his pack an ran to his brother. “Abyss! Abyss, what were you thinking pulling the parachute prema-”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEvnvweus9
“What were you thinking?!” Abyss fired back. “You pushed me out when I knew nothing about this kind of situation!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwin1KOcJYJ
Volt’s eyes were wide. Sure, Abyss tended to be grumpy, but never at Volt.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDedn8dLGaJ
And Volt had never heard Abyss yell before.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrraF5fUuRD
Abyss aggressively grabbed Volt’s wrist. “I need to borrow your healing. After that, we should run North-East.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNseVG2tczo
“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?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnheeLxQhg6
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwvfBNWMX0
“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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPOFKHRrDn
“And since when do you care about being punctual?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ6nZI8fjp
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANp0OF8msq
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMSTtOJtu
“I can’t believe this.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04jpODGZWI
“I know right?! An aircraft that can’t even hit the speed of sound, much less match me.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbXtHdhB7G
Abyss rolled his eyes. “So you want to run around for a couple hours before heading over. I can respect that.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf1wiGs6Kq
“I thought so,” Volt grinned.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncMJ6eujSV
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0B78LcQhB
“Ready to go, bro?” Volt said, holding his hand out to help Abyss up.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiTt6DGLyh
“Oh, alright.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIR5yDDO6e
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa0yTBZg5N
Volt knelt in a runner’s stance as golden electricity crackled in his own electric blue eyes.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFlVH5WFfL
“Ready?” Volt said.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxCKW8Czd1
“I didn’t take too much energy, did I?” Abyss said. “Because I feel better than ever.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI7twd723T
Volt chuckled and let his face settle into a smirk. “Alright then. Set, go.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQsfu0J8nx
* * *
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.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzMwQemMQo
They stopped to smell the flowers and played games with little kids before getting chased off school grounds by security.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ63Sw3keF
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. 22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ187ylvDq3Z
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggd22EtmyF
“Oh, brother. I can’t believe I let you make us late again.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruKfDkEVBB
“Me?!”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ejwHB611
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmukJn2ugi
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). 22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRctt5xhpJ
“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?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYHEOVgcUA
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD9d60iK07
Abyss groaned. There was the over-enthusiastically obedient brother Abyss always knew. “Still… What if-”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFyL6rSBR
“There’s one other problem though,” Volt said.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ06K7Bhg9
“What would that be?”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLqb4d7MMY
“We are completely lost.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxWcI1dlH
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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznBD8q6Syw
Volt laughed. “That’s my brother. Not the biggest genius, but a pro with directions.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevprF7DjR
“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.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ly8Odnqs
“Huh.” Volt shrugged. “Lead the way. And make it quick. We’re already late, so no detours this time.”22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMtdn4s6FG
Abyss huffed before running off at the speed of light, closely followed by Volt.22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88MspHRhJB
