“I hate this part.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp6Oz7YSuo
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsqBmx9Nus
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cW2SPjpxF
“Rhim!”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG7Tvwkglj
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRipwfhG3q
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVprguK1J4
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iE1SvYzeJ
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8tv0OnCAG
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2TjytGfTD
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmuDw0qmm
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ZTe9bMZx
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2d5mHDvvX
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4luxUAy7wo
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoehiOGoqu
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHYmqM6ady
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXCMkg2tfp
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD7AG8cnq8
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI2YTI2P5D
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFKfbK1EgS
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy57ZC7HQD9
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6R6zatlLY
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAEPKY201p
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikgO7KPjyL
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G3oR3w5Zt
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W9F2V7X5c
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdEeVgh84f
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEam2iH1ZB
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CMRq4W4G4
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxlnSQB5WE
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMiXJ92B9w
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMy6AmRyW
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg7vqOeRZe
“In three... two... one... Mark!”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZaExGf26
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnKUfVA59
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UF0j4oe5P
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27UeqkMXvJ
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81HsZ1MKtQ
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2c4Q79lIh
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW2fHrj89d
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMUqbihc2g
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oQYZgrvCD
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrgGugrEYu
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvAzsKO5bh
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeD7HemG30
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kGKohbihQ
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV4rwZ6rWF
more and then impact was finally made...289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzLOwT8lG
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BSXxs7BM
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwkZdoGuIF
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqRn1WR0uG
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ddw6Fp6ll
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVuGCJAlJa
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfnXCC0es8
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSp80ZtgPF
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJcYph2X5
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDt46iqDJn
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVj8TBJ3zK
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6HHG5hpU4
