“I don’t trust these pricks bout as far as I can throw em, thanks for the help Logan. Bastards really tried to nab me, wish we coulda helped the others out though. Would feel a lot less trigger happy if we had a nice number of folks with us instead of just us.”
We’ve gotta do what we gotta do as they say, let’s look around and do whatever we can do to enjoy ourselves.”
“Mhm, if you want to say that’s the best plan just say it. I doubt that we have much choice other than what we’re given at the end of the day.” Strapping in Logan, Ratchet, and Mina were rocketed down from the ship and sent down to the city, Mina checked Logan’s heart rate leaning forward and looking at him.
“Your heart rate is elevating, is something wrong Mr. Omoth?”
“Don’t call him that down there ya hear?”
“Understood.”
“I’ve got a slight fear of heights, roller coasters back in my world kind kicked me in the head with it…”
“What’s a roller coaster?” While descending Logan explained to Ratchet and Mina what roller coasters were and what caused his fear, it wasn’t anything to crazy and quite simple. He just was afraid of falling from so high, despite how natural it was they had no clue what he was on about because heights and fear of falling was unreal to them. Being able to just upgrade was a very helpful feature that other species didn’t get the luxury of having. Arriving on the ground Logan nearly ripped his buckles off and leapt out of the ship, standing on the ground and exhaling. Looking ahead he saw his daughter and his son causing him to give a small smile, walking over to follow his children. Odd. They’re supposed to follow him where he goes and yet fate had dealt him an opposite hand, this world will never not be strange.
“Halt!” Logan kept walking regardless until a rifle was placed between him and his kids.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NqfYmggNo
“I said halt!” With a shove Logan was pushed back by a guard.
“You’re not authorized to go beyond this point.”
“I’l tell you something your superiors may have missed, those are my kids walking that way. As their father I’m as authorized to go with them as you randos are. So do me a favor and move.”
“Do you have your paperwork?”
“My what? I just got here”
“Without paperwork you aren’t authorized to go, you’re as much their father as a crow is to a raven.”
“Cute platitudes but what are you smoking chief? His son literally has his skin tone, his daughter takes after her mother ya idiot so I don’t see whatcha on about. Let us through, trust me, ya don’t wanna piss him off.”
“I second this, his heart rate is increasing which means quite soon you’ll be in a worse predicament than if you’d just let us pass.”
“I-”
“Let him pass.” Thomas called from behind the guard as he turned, the guard without a word stepped aside. Logan walked past and headed to his kids.
“Oi! Hey what the heck?!”
“Apologies my programming says I must be with them.”
“Be quiet Metallico, your kind aren’t very liked with our superiors. Best to just- hey! I said back up!” Raising his arms he shoved Mina back causing her to stumble and trip, Ratchet grabbed her before she fell and glared at the man.
“Hey! Stop!” Alexander shouted as he went to walk but suddenly he froze, looking at his father he put his hands up.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMuzsadDv
“D-Dad… easy. Pops. Crap Vivian help!” Vivian turned to look back seeing her father, the red aura was emitting around him. Storming over Logan had enough, grabbing the man by his shoulder he proceeded to lean him forward and slam his head into the ground cracking it and planting his head far in. Fortunately for the man he had a helmet. Immediately alarms began to blare and Thomas activated his artifact, his pupils turning white as he began to launch an attack. Vivian immediately blocked his attack with a swift blast of her own from her hands.
“Okay okay enough everyone!!” Alexander shouted as the tensions rose, Thomas put his hand up.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M3doz5mMu
“If we can’t be civilized we will be less of a team and more of a danger to everyone, Dad let him go and stay with Ratchet. Mina you come with us, please. We have work to do we can’t let petty stuff keep messing with us.”
“Pe-” Vivian looked at her brother before sighing she looked towards Thomas.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1JHfihvzM
“You withdraw.”
“I will.” Thomas’s artifact reverted back to it’s docile state and Vivian’s did the same. Logan let the man go and wiped his hand off on the guy’s uniform walking over to Ratchet while Mina walked towards the kids.
“Don’t worry, I’m in link with her at all times. Nothing gets past us.”
“They’d better hope that’s true or I’m ripping this place apart with every bit of this energy I can muster.” The guard stood up stumbling as he tried to retain post, medical came to take him away and once they did Ratchet and Logan watched the trio leave and walked away.
“Heyyyy I uh realized we ain’t following the group. I get we’re mercenaries and all but what gives? We’re with the good-”
“Running your mouth is a surefire way to get yourself into some serious trouble little lady, I’d suggest-”
“EXCUSE YOU GOOD SIR! MEATLESS’S friend’s name is Ashely! You will respect it as such!”
“I couldn’t care if she was the Queen of queens, keep your mouths shut and do as we tell you. It’ll save all of you a whole lotta pain.”
“Hey MEATLESS -”
“Quiet all of you, silence is going to be our virtue and I’d suggest we use it.” Everyone arrived down at the ground landing in front of a prison, stepping out as a collective. Vince stuck close to Ashely shaking and quivering in fear, Red Eyes stayed close to Jamie and she to him.
“Team Hightailers… and extras.” A voice called out and the group looked to it, a man stood there with a whited out eye and stitches running across his head. Some of his hair was gone and his gaze held obvious hate.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeioPVuq48M
“I always figured you’d be a bunch of clowns and then you turned out to be a group of problematic clowns. The kind kids are scared of because they have sharp teeth and a slightly deep voice.” The guard stepped closer looking at Ashley glaring at her.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CiHEGn9z
“Joon Hyun, that ring any bells?” Ashley glared back at him and then looked away rolling her eyes.
“Yes.. my ex. Are you done digging into people’s business, don’t we got a cell to arrive at?”
“Your little boyfriend… took my father from me. Then the rest of my family was taken by your little rebellion.”
“EX-boyfriend. How would you like it if I disrespected you by calling your wife your EX wife huh?”
“It gives me a reason to hurt you so go ahead, do it.” The Warden looked at her and then leaned back looking down at her.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuLjFWRTY5
“As much as I want to know what he did that’s got you so riled up, you were the best of your raggedy bunch. Out of a simple respect, my late daughter, gave you. I’ll be a bit lenient to you. Now come, your cells await.”
