“Ngh… huh??”
“Gotta hand it to ya, you’re a real pest aren’t you?”
“Ugh come on… I just did all of that and you’re still gonna pester me? Just go away already!”
“Go ahead and keep saying that, I’ll moove out someday soon.”
“Uh huh, that would make me happy and you can’t stand that.” Leaning up and looking around Vivian saw herself on a boat in the middle of a lake, taking a deep breath she’d cough and hold her chest. She was still in pain but… It wasn’t too bad.
“They’re patching you up on the outside.”
“Guess that’s why this doesn’t hurt so bad. So, what’s this area supposed to teach me?”
“You’ve been learning from these areas?! Pft! Here I was just putting these on a randomizer hahahahahahahahaha!!” Atticus laughed for a few moments and Vivian noticed something different. He looked younger almost around her age, he definitely seemed annoyed. Raising his hand and swaying it, the world began to shift and change and soon they were sitting on a hill. Mushrooms, grass, and a vast horizon before them and a blinding light coming at them.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI54fy4XpH
“As much as I’d rather just take your body and reign supreme as the God of this new era, I need you unfortunately. And now that I can see you’re much stronger than I had thought at first.”
“What? You just stay quiet, take over your hosts, cause chaos, and then wait till they expire?” Vivian turned and was looking Atticus in the eyes, it seemed she was spot on.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXBBNA0wVd
“Hmph. Let’s say we can work together. What makes you think I’d want to?”
“Because you don’t really have a choice, you don’t work with me. You and your friends get destroyed and I just swap bodies and run through the world.Considering I’m not in the business of bickering with children, I’ll let you learn for yourself. Just know this, you’re moving into resistance territory. Once in, I won’t be in your head anymore. I’ll be gone, so take heed to who you trust and beware the shepherd because he’s herding the lambs to slaughter.” The light was coming in and an intense rumbling was happening.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAxkXXjWiu
“That’s my cue.Will you still be this loud mouthed little brat or will you awaken into what the world needs you to be? I can’t wait to see the state you’re in the next time we see each other. Heh heh heh hahahahahaha…” The light began to consume her and she’d take a deep breath ready to do the best she can do. Waking up Vivian felt herself being carried looking she’d see her dad carrying her, looking around she saw they were still in the forest but there was a large portal open in front of them.
“You alright Vivian?”
“Ye-Yeah dad…” Groaning Vivian held her head, she felt a painful singe as she looked towards the portal. Her vision began to fully clear up, she saw several men and they all had what appeared to be artifacts. All of them had gloves with a stone in the palm and laser weapons.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z1Ce27gnH
“Wh-What’s happening?”
“Don’t know… They’re either taking us in.”
“Or getting ready to take us out.” Ratchet spoke with grenades at the ready. However it seemed the hostilities were going down.
“Hey! Before we make any more moves, what’re we doing with them?” Ashley shouted as she brought over Red Eyes and The Rat Girl, both of them kneeling with Stingray’s beams at the ready, fully intent on vaporizing them.
“Didn’t you just use all of that on Vivian?” Red Eyes spoke with a glare.
“Put up a fight and find out, kid.”
“Well we need to figure something out first and foremost, a group as dysfunctional as this one needs to have some kind of leader. Who exactly would that be if I may ask?” Everyone looked over and saw someone walking out, they saw a young kid who couldn’t be much older than Vivian and Alexander step out with a smile as he rose his hands in a peaceful manner87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGduiNIay7
“My name is Thomas Adalric, can the leader step forward? Preferably one of the ones around my age.” Everyone looked around trying to figure out who’s stepping up, everyone finally found him. The leader, Alexander. Who was currently helping Blue up, his head was injured with a bit of a knot but he seemed fine just a bit dazed.
“Oi!”
“Yeah?” Alex turned to look at Ratchet, she pointed to Thomas and he walked over handing Blue to Ashley and walked over before standing in front of Thomas. Raising his hand up and saluting him with two fingers.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4klZSxgRKX
“Yo. Names Alexander O- Yeah O.”
“Abbreviations for the last name? Fair, we have only just met. Nice to meet you Alex, I take it you’re not the Harbinger are you?”
“Me? Nah that’s my sister Vivian, I’m just making this up as I go along.”
“Grand Major Thomas!” Everyone looked and saw Anderson and Skobi running over to them, they’d bow on one knee to Thomas and Anderson began to speak again.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI0OeNgF3H
“We’ve recovered possibly the last Omoths in the world along with the Chaos Harbinger.”
“Dude come on!!” Alexander shouted before grabbing his hair angrily.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIplMtl8gv
“You and your big mouth!!”
“Omoths? As happy as I am to learn how good our luck has become, he is fairly angry. But come, this isn’t the place to talk.”
“Aye aye aye whoa! Whoa! Put 'em down!” Tensions rose again as the several men surrounded Stingray, MEATLESS, Ashley, Red Eyes, and The Rat Girl. Aiming their gauntlets at them and others aimed their guns.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaIy81PUHM
“I am WAY to unstable for this crap right now! Stop all dang movement! Everybody stop moving!”
“You’d best put that weapon down before I vaporize the hands that are holding it.” Stingray’s optics began to heat up.
“Easy! Cool it, those are my friends!”
“Aww.”
“INDEED! MEATLESS DOES INDEED KNOW ALEXANDER!”
“You’re… Friends with mercenaries? Peculiar, seems your rank as leader proceeds. You work with who you need too, you heard him. Lower the weapons, these are our guests and hopefully our potential allies, plus. We wouldn’t win a battle against Omoths even with our Artifacts. Shall we head to your ship and bring it in?” The men stood down and Stingray grabbed the girl by her shirt and just carried her like that. Everyone boarded the zeppelin as it began to phase through the portals and slowly but surely as it forced through the dark skies became flooded with the beautiful rays of sunlight.
“Well would ya look at that.” Looking ahead everyone saw what appeared to be a city flying in the sky, below them was nothing but the clouds.
“Welcome To Zephyr City .” Thomas smiled as everyone looked at somewhere where they could possibly be safe for even a few moments.
