Achlys glanced around every corner. She was amazed to see that so many cartridge holders and hybrids slipped out of her grasp back at PISTOL. Still, her mission wasn’t focused on them anymore. She did what she could in that department.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOh43T1yVG
There was only one choice left. To destroy the world.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40qWfgCHb
If she could manage keeping her allies safe, they might be able to bring back humanity while remaining off Kronos’ radar. Still, there were no guarantees. World destruction was a tricky situation. If Abyss and the others stayed at the hotel, they might hold out long enough to move them somewhere underground.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tqfYASQhL
Achlys shook the sentimental thoughts away. She had to focus. There was too much at risk to be distracted. She had to get Helios’ power no matter the cost.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopRTbqsldO
Achlys quickly slipped behind a dumpster and peaked around it cautiously. Was that a rosork? No, this has got to be too soon. Is this our fault?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbPYqZI5oY
That’s when it dawned on her.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Co0u9U0v
They released Kronos’s army when they destroyed PISTOL. They’d unwittingly moved Kronos ages ahead in his process.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wdwwH2fXu
She had to move faster if she wanted a chance to so much as stall Kronos’ plans.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusEGAH9qeO
Project: Disaster is in full swing starting with this mission, but am I too late?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZm6nq8cMH
Achlys felt the weight of the world on her shoulders as she carefully navigated, he way to the Palace. No more detours, no more taking your time. Get it together Achlys or Kronos will be able to drain the life of every planet in the Milky Way like chocolate cow juice. Khaos, I sound like a child.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN1LokaxCP
Achlys was back to the hotel in 11 days. The guards, Rosork, and rampant power wielders gave Achlys more trouble than she expected. She had dragged the queen through the sewers, which proved to be a more difficult task than Achlys had hoped.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHIbIGc1zz
In Ember’s desperate attempts to escape, she released a flurry of flames. Most of Achlys’ own abilities would either blow up in her face or be negated by the flashes of light Ember’s fire triggered. This is what I get for taking a nap before mission complete.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKiPg0FYb9
Achlys’ laughing gas had worn off before she woke up. That’s what a week of no sleep will do to you. Nodding off at the most inconvenient times. Achlys was lucky only a portion of her hair was singed. If it weren’t for the cuffs Achlys stole from the dungeon guards, Ember could have been finished with Achlys and made an escape.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt77mmWJJoa
If only the queen understood that her kidnappinh and the destruction of the world was for the betterment of many.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFSZMTgSUq

Despite Achlys’ best efforts to hurry back, she was too slow. Achlys surfaced, but she left the queen bound in the sewers.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBKvxezKW4
The hotel appeared normal at first, but once Achlys got to the suite, everything was wrecked.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWHwy9CkH9
A handful of hotel workers were cleaning the lobby when Achlys arrived. They stared at her in surprise and terror.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYCnsBjwzI
“It’s her!” One of them whispered loudly. “Do any of you have Commander H’s card?”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFGEeM9YoX
Someone else fumbled with a slip of paper. Achlys rushed towards them and snatched the card, stuffing it into her pocket.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESECcKC3rk
“You’re lucky I don’t snap your neck. I’m not here for trouble. What happened to the others?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nrx8GG6uL
“P-P-PISTOL came,” the scrawny man stammered. “They said they would leave peacefully if we turned over the people renting the residential suite. We had no choice! They came with dozens of soldiers!”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU9xpo2e87
“Excuses from weaklings!” Achlys exclaimed.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNmjAo0GgJ
Nobody was killed,” one of them spoke up in defense. “A man and his son were taken.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlgNhGVBvh
Son? What in Kronos’ name? Achlys paused in confusion.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCIHzUoyFH
...Do they mean Corder and Antonio? That might mean...99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpSesQj062
Achlys turned and snapped at the other workers. “All of you, out, now!”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhKDMWrfxA
The man she was talking to tried to hurry out, but Achlys grabbed him by his shirt collar. The man yelped.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrTqFypPg
“Not you. I still have questions. How long ago was this?”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVmVP9OlYY
“This morning,” he blurted out.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85I0dBl8SI
“Did PISTOL say where they were going?”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEiwijYRPp
“N-no, but there’s a new rebel base a little way south. I-I-I wouldn’t go there though! It’s in the middle of-of a warzone!”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFnP9nbHaE
Achlys let out a frustrated growl and shoved the man into the elevator just before it closed.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qs8DU926v

“It's safe! The rest of you come out if you’re still here!”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNDLT4R9y5
It took a moment, but slowly Lucy came out from a large bush that certainly wasn’t so full before.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVbmcPqBs1
Water flowed overhead as a pitcher emptied as if gravity reversed. A cup followed suit, and water came through the crack beneath the bathroom door. The water reformed into Vivian.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRcGB9uHk1
Achlys waited another beat which turned into 5 minutes of silence. She glared at Vivian. “Where is Abyss?” Her tone was steady and laced with poison.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrG53iODvS
“He left days ago,” Lucy answered.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUSI4YGgV6
“What?! Where did he go?!” Achlys stepped menacingly toward Lucy. The older girl was in a panicked outrage. He can’t be gone. Anyone but Abyss.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScWgYS6cMJ
“He never said. We tried to stop him. He was in a hurry,” Vivian answered quickly to redirect Achlys’ attention from Lucy.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkSiiT0oK4
“We need to find him,” Achlys said firmly. “He’s the only thing that matters now... He’s essential to the plan!”
