“Stingray has gone offline, what do we do Master?”
“Never send lesser beings to do the job of the superior ones, send platoons to his last known location. Once you arrive there, they should have everything they need and then some.” The Urlak King says looking back at his troops, he was an unbelievably tall being. Large figure, clad head to toe in a large black cloak with accents trailing the body giving him an imposing stance. “Are we clear on this Malice?” In the shadows a large orcish abomination hid, listening to its master. Checking out the bounties it’ll soon have to collect.

“So who’re y’all? I don’t see that boy Laizo bringing many folks around these parts of the sky unless he has a good reason. Is it because of some kind of great journey? Laizo’s always wanted to be famous for somethin.” The Grandmother asked as everyone turned to her and then began to chat among themselves.
“I don’t like all the questions the old bag is pepperin us with.” Ratchet rolled her eyes, laying her head on her hand.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ5bfVfSbA
“Feels like she’s grillin us, could be workin for the enemy.”
“Lay off, she’s a sweet old lady. She’s offering us a meal and you’re just being-”
“A bastard? A Bi-... Ahem. Along with various other colorful words? This is my ship, so you can jump off yourself, get kicked off, or shut yer arse up and hear what I’ve gotta say.”
“Ratchet. If you’re going to be angry, at least not at the table where we all eat.”
“Aye whatever.” Ratchet rolls her eyes as she looks around.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEif6qF1Zf
“So who’s answering her ques-”
“We’re sorta like superheroes.” Alexander started talking to the old lady with a smile.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYhai0tqL
“Me, My sis, my pops and our crew here are gonna take the world by storm and save it.”
“That’s the plan alright.” Vivain says in agreement with her brother.
“Such energetic kids, whatever will you do to save it?”
“We’ll-”
“None of your business lady.”
“Geez Ratchet.”
“Have you brats never seen this cliche before? We tell her anythin we risk ourselves and her little place. Wouldn’t that be terrible Alex?” Ratchet looks at Alexander and everyone else follows soon, Alex has a pretty blank expression on his face before nodding.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLffmVUK5zy
“Riiight see see?” Vivian giggled, noticing that this may be something that Ratchet and her brother developed while she was asleep. So she figured she'd best take her questions and concerns to someone who knows what she’s dealing with. That being Blu. Standing up she’d nudge Alexander and he’d nod grabbing their dishes and taking it over to the older lady.
“Be back in a bit, dad, I gotta talk to Blu.” Vivian would smile standing up and walking past.
“Vivian ma-”
“Yes dad, I’ll keep it in a kids or wearer’s space.” She shakes her scarf smiling as she hurries off. The night air smelt of saltwater and the sound of the waves below, she’d hear what sounded like a loud groan from something beneath them. From how Blu spoke, whatever was down there couldn’t reach them up here so she had no reason to be-
“Scared?”
“GYAH!!!”
“GYAH!!!” Turning her head Vivian saw something sitting on the hand rails to the stairs that would lead to the docks… It was her? It looked exactly like her except for the extreme difference. Its eyes were glowing. It looked like how she’d appeared before she changed back. Black hair, glowing eyes, oozing with energy, and wearing a long coat glowing with the same energy.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTL4NihZkG
“Gonna scream again or get to it with finding our boyfriend?”
“One, ew. Two, what the heck are you?”
“I’m you duh, well not exactly you since you’re back to just being Mom’s carbon copy but I’m what we wanna be. Our own person, our own look, our own claims, powers, everything is all ours. Just how we’ve always wanted it.”
“Look if you’re gonna wear my face, don’t be annoying with it. Give me good advice and help or shut up.” Vivian looked at her second self and stepped away hearing giggling and laughter. Looking down she saw Blu and Dalia chatting with each other while he filled the Zeppelin with gas, eyeing her.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Awww you’re such a clown Laizo, sometimes in the silence I realize how much I miss your droll sense of humor.”
“And I miss that beautiful smile of yours Dalia. Always been the firecracker I fell for.”
“You're just tryna flirt your way outta trouble.”
“Always worked before, didn't it?”
“This ain't before Laizo, this is now. I can't just go past you lyin to me. If you would've just told me about your situation I would've been fine with it, I would've tried to make a compromise but ya lied. One thing ya can't seem to help.”
“Ya mean couldn't. I'm doing better, I ate myself up for years losing you. I'm currently looking for a change, something to either separate us or just… remove the kid from me. That way I can be with you, I know I don't want anyone other than y-Ngh!!” Suddenly Blu would groan and stumble back dropping the canister and holding onto the railing groaning.
“That's supposed to be OUR boyfriend?”
“Not him, the one taking back control.” Vivian looked down at them as Laizo shuddered and began to fall to his knees glowing.
“M-Move Dalia! Ghngh!!” With A swift pull Vivian pulled Dalia back looking at her hand and then to her doppelganger. She saw that when her doppelganger moved it's hand up, her hand followed.
“I'm better at this than you, I mean we were gonna help weren't we?” She giggled and just watched as Laizo erupted into a black smoke, inside the smoke Vince crawled out coughing and shaking a bit. He looked as pale as a Ghost, running down the steps quickly Vivian looked at him with Dalia.
“Laizo? No… you're his second.” Vince didn't speak a word to Dalia, he just quickly fell into Vivian's arms shaking immensely as he held her tight. He kept shaking and shuddering.
“Vi-Vince?”
“I-I don't wanna go… I don't wanna go… I don't wanna go please… please Vivian… I'll be more useful. I don't wanna go please… Please.” Vince constantly muttered to her as she held him closer and gently patted his back.
“So cute. I remember when we did this, I was so worried about him but so confused at the same time. I mean, it's not like I heard the conversation before but clearly he was scared about something and for good reason. And I made a promise. That-”
“I won't let you go anywhere, you'll be okay-”
“You'll be okay Vince.” 165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEkhnOGkOq
