Everyone was staring as Abyss and Volt charged in the entrance of PISTOL HQ. A younger agent ran for the emergency alarm before the leader of the rebel faction entered the room. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPVjZAMchO
“Here are our esteemed guests.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuIJfXANz9
All the eyes in the room instantly moved away from the twins and to the powerful-looking man. It was clear he was coming on in years, but at the same time, he radiated energy fiercer than anyone in the room.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkLIvuapu1
If Volt didn’t know better, he would have thought this man had his own Crystal Cartridge.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnn3bnGbaK
“You’re late.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEDVLOQKhG
Volt saw the glare Abyss was giving him out of the corner of his eye. Normally his would be where he blamed everything on Abyss, but… a couple things Abyss said earlier made Volt reconsider. It was a new era of their life, and in the past, Volt maybe wasn’t the most considerate. It was time for him to own up to his own actions.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTpk8wrdLx
“It was my fault sir,” Volt explained. “Abyss didn’t want to jump ship in the first place. I…” Volt wonder if there was any excuse that this high-ranking PISTOL official would accept.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMBoyzLnq
“It doesn’t matter. You are here now. We will go over your expectations tomorrow. As for now, you will remain in your quarters.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4xUwwUEub
3 large agents and a small woman came over to escort them.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuT7dbc3p
“A little girl like you came to escort one the most powerful beings alive?” Volt questioned teasingly.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65dotoG5kL
Without warning, she roundhouse kicked Volt in the head, grabbed his right arm, and twisted it behind his back while the boy was still on his knees.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GYztSiRtt
She didn’t say a word as Abyss stared at her dumbfounded, and Volt groaned from the pain. “Got it.. got it. I’m sorry- ow! Uncle, uncle!” Volt used his left hand tap the agent’s arm frantically.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh5Wvh2mrB
After a long moment, she released Volt and he collapsed onto the ground.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qGY1tzrD
“Never seen a girl in real life before,” Volt muttered, massaging his shoulder and standing up. “Friggin’ terrifying.” Master told us we wouldn’t have to worry about girls! The liar! Probably thought that would be funny… I didn’t know he had a sense of humor, but that still seems like the twisted kind of prank he would pull.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z7jdjAZLl
“Don’t get on Vanessa’s bad side,” the commander advised. “She’s one of our best fighters. And all of our fighters are trained against imprisoned power holders.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkqandVHL2
After Volt stood back up, the woman put one hand on his just-healed shoulder, and one of the 3 other escorts did the same. Volt shuddered at her touch. He did not like the sound of that.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpcqPV31U5
The other two escorts took Abyss the same way, and led the two brothers down a long, narrow hallway that did not do well for Volt’s crippling claustrophobia.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl7dGlvZfL
Some banging caught Volt’s attention up ahead, and he realized that there were people imprisoned behind thick, glass walls. The rest of their cells were completely white as well, some of them were banging on walls that weren’t made of the glass.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfCbnkEueM
It must be one sided. Volt realized. They couldn’t even see the lock mechanisms, and only knew the pure white cube they were trapped in. Their clothes were even pure white. Some were screaming, curled into the fetal position, but the sounds barely came through to the hall that that decibel. That’s Volt realized what was going on.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2XBfReLXj
Sensory deprivation.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RtqXLOyQB
No doubt the prisoners were hallucinating and losing their minds. One cell was frosted over so much that Volt couldn’t see the person inside. These cells were designed to hold people with cartridge implants.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVv3Thqnwq
Volt was sweating now and clenching his fists. Would he have to live in one of these torcher chambers?15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOQ1ac2pb
Volt glanced over his shoulder at his brother to see how Abyss was holding up, and the darker haired twin’s expression was dull and emotionless.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJVUbWEs9
How is he always able to keep his cool no matter the situation? Volt wondered. He was constantly impressed and jealous of his brother. Nothing phases Abyss. Except the parachute thing, but even the toughest guys must have their weaknesses. I just wish I could be narrowed down to one like him. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6mbKkp8yY
Luckily, they stopped at an elevator, and after going up to the 2nd floor, they were led to a regular residential suite. This floor seemed to be where most of the agents lived.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPTSborK25
The girl that took Volt down earlier, handed him a set of keys and pointed to a door.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dIp4sVms0
This would be where the brothers would stay for the next while.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82YLYhVare
She left without another word, and the other agents followed.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v8ck1arhJ
Volt unlocked the door, after the twins walked in.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgHLylmg7U
A small, rickety bunk bed, a door leading to the shower, and a dresser filled with plain, dark colored t-shirts were all that existed in their sleeping quarters, but after the horrors downstairs, Volt found himself appreciating the room. Peeling tan paint decorated the walls, and the sheets were a darker brown.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeigAV2Sgz
Volt claimed the top bunk, and Abyss had no objections.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPB1H1l78m
Abyss took a quick shower before bed, but Volt climbed right into his rough sheets.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPAadA6e1W
A shower was a luxury Volt would never have. His cartridge had a bug that transformed his molecular structure to be closer to pure electric circuitry. If he ever touched water he’d short himself out. It could range anywhere from a static shock to completely frying his nerves system and shutting him down for good.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06xqysfU26
At least that was the theory, and one he did not want to test out.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZJrdAfJTP
In the plus side, he didn’t sweat, didn’t need to drink anything, and didn’t need to shower, all of which could hypothetically kill him.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Pz9IlgPY
Yet another weakness that Volt held.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOUv2H7iQ
Just the sound of water could make Volt shudder.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7kDd0WYk
Eventually, his ever-racing mind finally slowed enough for Volt to get some sleep, but as per usual, he had fever dreams of Diyet-knows what: Brown-furred humanoid wolves chasing hooded figures; The sun crashing down to earth while a girl turned from her lover and leapt into the flames; funerals in sparkling crystal labyrinths; flying islands; poisonous gasses; green skulls… all a testament to how Volt’s brain never slowed.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ScMvSrQia
For someone who was supposed to have endless energy, Volt never slept well, and always had difficulty waking up.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsRUyIsLQf
Abyss had to shake him from sleep for their first training session.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDDSz1v5I8
* * *
Volt pulled on a loose, navy-blue t-shirt. Abyss selected an olive-green shirt for himself. And with that, they went to navigate the base in search of the gym.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXCRINtQ4C
Abyss and Volt shuffled into the elevator and began to look over the buttons. As they were thinking, the elevator began to move without input. It went upwards until They reached the top floor.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzJP4PK0c
The commander looked in at them, clearly surprised that they were just standing around in the elevator. “Gentlemen? Did you need something?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CZBojsocX
“Uh-“ Volt didn’t know how to answer and he watched his brother out of the corner of his eye. Abyss moved further back into the elevator, silently. Volt swallowed hard.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwTfGUVfI0
He wasn’t sure what was going on. Yeah, the commander was intimidating, but Abyss was the most resilient guy Volt knew! Granted, Abyss was only of the only guys Volt knew. But that still didn’t change the fact that Abyss had been acting strange since they were dropped at the junction. Volt had hoped Abyss was getting better since the parachute incident, but now he was acting strange again.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5irAUVBUK
Regardless, Volt stood up straight and answered. “We’re just trying to get used to the place, sir. Figuring out way around.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0xLuUxmaa
The commander huffed. “Does that means you’re lost?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ikfLNOImg
Volt drew back in surprise at how the commander figured it out. Volt shook off the initial emotion and decided he had to quickly cover. “O-of course not. We know how to get back to our room, don’t we? We’re not lost!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mH7uzzs91
Volt thought he saw a slight a hint of amusement flash across the Commander’s face, but it was gone before Volt could solidify his assumption.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOnjDRBLs5
“The training gym is on the first floor, my sister Helena can point you to it once you reach the front. I honestly thought I would have to come looking for you two when Jesus called saying you were both absent. I did not expect you to come to me.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZr3h1aZWL
Volt held back a laugh. He wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be a joke, but.. it sounded like one?15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5RLOMIuJj
The Commander’s face fell. “I don’t believe I have properly introduced myself to you. You can call me H, Commander H .” He held out a strong arm for Volt to shake. The boy took Commander H’s hand and shook it firmly.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDNNJMIKRv
“Well then, I’m Volt.” Their arms dropped to their sides again, and Volt looked over his shoulder. He signaled for Abyss to introduce himself, but the dark-haired twin averted his eyes, crossing his arms. “Uh…”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xKRsfdit2
Volt wasn’t entirely sure what to do with the awkward pause, but eventually he turned back to look at the commander again. “My brother over there is Abyss.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ynd2UffG
“Hmph,” H nodded in recognition towards Abyss. “Well, now that formalities are cleared, I will make sure you get to floor one, so you do not continue standing in here in silence.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGdXYb9UB5
“That won’t be necessary, sir.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHogggTSf
Commander H turned towards the buttons and pressed number 1. “I insist.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZMMZatBIB
Since now had to degress from the top of a 4 story building, it took longer to get to floor one than it should have.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOmYR90vtI
“I expect a series reports of top-tier participation in training, and minimum reports of disobedience and rebelliousness when Alexandra calls in this afternoon. Besides your tardiness, of course.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c6FkRpBDf
“Yes, sir.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQahBe7l2m
“Good man,” Commander H responded, placing a firm grip on Volt’s shoulder and shaking it lightly.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxg1OG3wVu
They parted ways with Commander H at the end of the elevator ride with a salute. Volt was invigorated by his interaction with Commander H. Any worries he had the night before were mostly gone. The leader of this rebel group seemed to like the twins, which significantly aided Volt is his trust to the cooperation.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw2lEe5MsN
That’s when Volt started to wonder if the plan had to involve taking down PISTOL. If the rosork were able to make peace with PISTOL, they would build a strong world. They could make deals that would benefit both parties. The rosork could use Earth as a place to temporarily station and harvest any necessary energy to finish their journey. Earth wouldn’t have to be striped of it’s resources. They could find a new power source here that didn’t involve harvesting life. The humans do it somehow, why can’t the rosork? Abyss and Volt could make new friends and get away from the stuffy ship more often.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeZhzF4c5L
If there was one thing Volt’s supercharged, never-resting brain was good for, it was making and storing plans before the situation they were made for even came up.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojPphV9CbG
Volt ran through the thought cycle one or two more times before the twins made it to the gym.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjaflvh3or
Combat training: toned, bare-chested men brawled on the inside; quick, trim, athletic women delivered well-placed kicks at their opponent’s heads wearing sports bras and leggings. In the back, a couple guys laughed and punched each other playfully. One of the flexed bulging muscles on of the smaller guys responded immediately by flexing his nearly non-existent ones. The group erupted into boisterous laughter, and one of the taller guys noogied the smallest. That is, until the short lady from last night stormed over.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayeNxbT7sT
“Take this seriously!” She ordered. “If you’re all going to be slacking and distracting the people who need to grow stronger, I’ll show you how weak you all really are!” Her shout climbed over the room’s noise. Everyone went quiet. Volt’s eyes were bulging with shock.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop9LJHXZer
The biggest of the guys in the group started to chuckle as the smaller ones bit their lips.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKgt1IVa70
Alexandra swept a leg under the two rebellious men, toppling them both over onto each other. They looked up at her in terror. “When I give you an order, you obey without hesitation. Do I make myself clear?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAeCnQGWTP
“Yes, Alexandra.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8vMp03sNu
“That’s yes ma’am to you!” She stepped on one of their forearms and began to press down, simultaneously turning her foot to dig into his arm.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFiY5wXLKE
“Yes ma’am! Yes ma’am!” they both cried, even the one who was spared the most of the pain.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5XUpfKB2g
She walked away slowly. “Good. Now get back to work.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiGJRF33Xq
The two scrambled to their feet and started pushing against each other in some form of brute strength competition that the twins never practiced in their life.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzdC0LVFBc
“Muscles won’t get you far without strategy,” Alexandra called back to them in annoyance. “Practice your forms!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0bgI6Dce5
The rest of the room began practicing choreographed forms against each other.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENpLrB5ce2
Alexandra stopped and patted one man on the shoulder. “Keep up the good work, Watchoski, I want to see you work on changing up your tempo to throw off your opponents.” She looked to his training partner, “Bartowski, you are going to have to improvise if you want to stay on your feet against him.” She began to walk away before they even got to respond.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT3wa4CNlY
“Thank you, ma’am,” said Watchoski.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTO0zIgveK
“Yes, ma’am,” answered Bartowski with a hint of nervousness in his voice.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w4gxQuWIt
“Aaron , see me after,” she said, smacking a guy who looked like he was related to her upside the head. “Just because Had-”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aMbrpbV74
She kicked him in the groin and pulling him down by the shoulder to look her directly in the eyes. “Remember where we are, numbskull.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodpIA7fsue
Aaron growled. “Just because Commander H put you in charge of the rookies doesn’t mean you the boss of me.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbEAnk1wxV
The man barely seemed affected by the crotch kick, but it didn’t matter, because Alexandra pushed him backwards and he toppled off balance, falling on the ground. “You clearly need more training in analyzing your opponents, warmonger. Don’t argue back to me. You were the one stupid enough to take the bait and got killed for it.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S5MZ6vwdh
Alexandra walked away from with a smug look on her face. The look fell when she made eye-contact with Volt and began walking over. She went in for a roundhouse kick to the face and Volt squeezed his eyes shut. After a moment came with no impact. He opened one eye warily and saw Alexandra’s foot resting a centimeter away from Volt’s nose.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWNX0zUULl
“Why are you not working?” She set her foot down gently.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXAQk3RmmF
“W-we just got here. I’m sorry we’re late ma’am!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFaaniM1w
Alexandra rolled her eyes. “I am aware you are late. That’s no excuse. When in Rome, do as the Romans do… Unless you are Greek.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbHdBfHWsD
“What? I- I don’t think I am. This is Rome? I thought we were in America.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2qWWe04E3
“I know you are not. It is just an expression. Apologies, I forgot you were aliens.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUzTDv8sdK
“Uh… Just raised by-“15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAdfoma7Ok
“I have something else to apologize for. I should not have attacked a rookie coming into our ranks. Even if he was being rude and sexist.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONKhoE16E
“I didn’t mean to, really!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQxsXUmrut
“I know that. But I thought you should recognize it. In the meantime, you seem unfamiliar with this form of training. I was told you each had some knowledge of fighting before coming here. Would you care to share how your previous mentors taught you.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSWtCdVSAu
“I- I guess we could. Abyss?” When Volt looked back at Abyss, the darker haired twin furrowed his brows. “Uh.. or not.” Volt lowered his voice. “I don’t know what’s gotten into him,” he huffed.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A7MMQTeZB
“Doesn’t seem to be a fan of crowds,” Alexandra pointed out.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqWPT1wITN
“What? How can you tell?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpXKxRBS53
“You said this behavior isn’t normal? He seemed fine just outside the doorway, but the moment he walked in, his shoulders fell, and his body caved in on itself.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzKC8jWAjL
“Why didn’t I see that?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqq6S1KOru
“It is all just to say, he instantly became more closed off and his body naturally tried to make himself smaller. It is common in this world for people to be socially anxious at times.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0foh6Ss84A
Volt was feeling overwhelmed with this description. He never noticed any of this about Abyss. Then again, they were never in crowded places. The only rosork the twins ever interacted with in the past were their trainers, and there were only one or two at a time. As Volt thought, he began to realize Abyss only started acting awkward around when they were dropped on-planet.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6RU9CmKD6
“Now, if you would train, even just as you normally do today. You too, Abyss.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo4DigSfBN
“Right. Yes ma’am.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylfbkz98um
Alexandra turned away, and Volt turned to the nearest agent training on their own. Volt delivered a powerful punch to his opponent’s gut.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcxKCzHvJH
“Always be the last one standing,” Vol muttered before turning to another. Abyss began following suite, and agents fell left and right. The panic of the room grew tremendously loud so that no one could hear Alexandra shouting over the crowd.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk29SLdIez
A few people tried to run, others braced for a fight, but didn’t last.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1MJ9xaDEo
Eventually, Volt reached Aaron. “Oh yeah! This is happening!” The bigger man shouted with enthusiasm before aiming a punch for Volt’s face. Volt dodged and tried I speed behind Aaron, getting countered with a jab in the back. Volt nearly fell over, but regained balance quickly. Volt grinned and turned back to his opponent. Aaron mirrored this.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeJxxcLAEu
That’s when a storage aura surrounded Aaron and all his muscles seemed to double in size.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphxTIuWsE1
Alexandra tried I travel to the pair over the unconscious bodies of her students as Abyss waited patiently for Volt and Aaron’s spar to finish. Abyss was the last standing outside the trio.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FXzMorj68
“That’s enough, Ares !” Alexandra exclaimed.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Zf6vGUJx
“If that’s how you feel, you should come fight me yourself!” Aaron exclaimed, hitting Volt square in the chest. Volt didn’t process what he thought he heard in time and was caught off-guard falling to the ground.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMdZX1myJh
Instead of jumping back up, Volt sat up just enough to watch the scene unfold. Abyss ran over to Volt, panic written on his face. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c3WFWG2mv
“I’m fine,” Volt said, waving Abyss off.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTJOGNdJps
Aaron charged Alexandra, who ducked down after swept Aaron to to ground in one motion.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBkJRW3ZyJ
“I thought his name was Aaron,” Volt said as Alexandra placed her foot onto Aaron’s back, preventing him from getting up.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9OrEa2dbq
“What? Yeah. Yeah, it is. Why.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eRJrpwZa
“I could have sworn you said Ares.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5adSaXYtML
“Slip of the tongue,” Alexandra said quickly.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtGoCrO17n
“Not so wise now, eh -? Ugh!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N3vrxe8ZC
Alexandra kicked Aaron in the side, cutting the large man off.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBHlVJFGGr
“And was that a Cartridge power ?” Volt asked. He let Abyss pull him up before crossing his arms. “I thought we were the only ones here with those powers .”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSklLkc48cG
“You are,” Alexandra said simply.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNWM6NcE6S
“But I could have sworn I saw- “15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XxrpjDY6v
“Trick of the light. Right Aaron?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoguPHaa7x
Aaron only growled in response.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojBPJzj9O
Alexandra sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. She glared at Volt when she finally put her arm down. “What sparked this sudden act of violence?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb5fLvX0yJ
“I was training!” Volt said, defending himself. “Like you said to!” 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmHhvOo8qe
“Yes, train. Not start conflict.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH4U0lUmvD
“What’s the difference?” Volt demanded.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvtqEwFnZN
Abyss finally spoke up. “We were trained purely through fighting each other. Learn from experience. Be the last standing.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdveD3noEh
Alexandra’s fierce expression fell. “I see… I will let you off the hook for now, but next time, we train properly. Class dismissed for anyone left standing. Aaron, go find Axel , we need to get these soldiers back on their feet.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC62vjPNAdT
“Why do I have to? They’re your students!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcXqsvH56J
“And you were part of the problem. Go,” Alexandra ordered.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbpioUQRlo
“9:00 sharp for training tomorrow boys,” she told the twins. “Move out.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxijxhVvXB
The boys nodded quickly and hurried out of the room, leaving Alexandra and Aaron behind. All the needed to eat was a loud crash from the training room before they decided to run back to the elevator.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuw4nNjjME
“You sure are gutsy,” Abyss said with a chuckle.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWubHOFPcV
“And what were you doing just standing there?” Volt laughed.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1FWBEN3Mv
“I didn’t want to but in. Besides, I had to know if the other guy would be a more worthy opponent. I eat you every time, I wanted to fight whoever was stronger.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3tDWwZrZh
“Uh-huh, sure. More like you didn’t want to be the center of attention for either of those two,” Volt said, grinning.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWjr3ba6AB
“Did you?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirFBZnYrjD
“No!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBS0udZ9Ox
Abyss smirked. “Then I say my decision was justified.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlGuggOGoQ
“Let’s just get back to our room,” Volt said rolling his eyes and reaching for the control panel.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzdiDPVZyI
“Ah-ah-ah!” Abyss stuck his hand in the way of Volt’s.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u3TITLNlh
“What now?” Volt said, with mock-annoyance.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA5Lf4U08r
“Have you not noticed the unlabeled floor?” Abyss pointed at a button below the basement level.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFnnr79yWb
“It probably rubbed off, haven’t we gotten into enough trouble today?” Volt asked, voice turning critical.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQasag3qHJd
“Not a chance. You were the one who got in trouble, and it could barely be called that much,” Abyss explained. “You were doing what you thought you were supposed to, so she let you off. Now it’s time to unwind and do whatever we want. You only live thrice. ”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1XmETwSvl
“Pretty sure that’s not a human term. Especially when it could end the only one humans get. We’re not Rosorken, bro.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6aYeSsDnx
Abyss shrugged and pressed the button.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Skpeoer3W
“Abyss!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7fx1YkfvP
“Come on. It’ll be fun! Not like that skydiving trip you got us into.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq85DiXjhI
“That was fun. Seizing a once in a life-time opportunity like that had to be done. This is everyday mischief that could lead to all sorts of problems.” 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU0YoCa3dD
“And me almost dying wasn’t one?” 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzthcPuAXX
The elevator doors opened and revealed a dark cellar that was lit with a green glow.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUBiVvmY6s
“Look at that ambiance,” Abyss said. “We need this lighting in our room. ”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV7RUpL9PP
Abyss stepped out of the elevator, and Volt had no choice but to follow.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa665IzI5H
“I have to disagree; this just screams bad idea.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqoVLXnRf6
“I know the feeling.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvcOiDhJyR
Regardless, Abyss continued. Begrudgingly, Volt followed.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6jP8IdWbw
Abyss stopped by a large, blinking red button. “Hey, Volt. What does this button do?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhOOmc5jLv
Volt’s eyes widened in panic as he tried to protest. “Abyss, you don’t know what that will do; it’s probably dangerous! The master warned us against red lights.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlptVmWcvQz
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkybNv8YCbF
