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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzNPvMvdV
There was only one choice left. To destroy the world.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X3qfWlDqc
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDLobO42aX
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9EzKnbm2y
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?94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgs6qoLXwH
That’s when it dawned on her.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9WuluqCps
They released Kronos’s army when they destroyed PISTOL. They’d unwittingly moved Kronos ages ahead in his process.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EYNJtyjMB
She had to move faster if she wanted a chance to so much as stall Kronos’ plans.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9H6LWl99i
Project: Disaster is in full swing starting with this mission, but am I too late?94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSBuFPw2rX
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIcS8Ftm36
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6Fp6tbMz
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSQn420Fs
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h9Lf4J8cY
If only the queen understood that her kidnappinh and the destruction of the world was for the betterment of many.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3RsOlD7IW

Despite Achlys’ best efforts to hurry back, she was too slow. Achlys surfaced, but she left the queen bound in the sewers.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YjsC9Xw2r
The hotel appeared normal at first, but once Achlys got to the suite, everything was wrecked.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡour0s18X25
A handful of hotel workers were cleaning the lobby when Achlys arrived. They stared at her in surprise and terror.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2YhwIKPsz
“It’s her!” One of them whispered loudly. “Do any of you have Commander H’s card?”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjEFNYbIjv
Someone else fumbled with a slip of paper. Achlys rushed towards them and snatched the card, stuffing it into her pocket.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP6nlPFpkc
“You’re lucky I don’t snap your neck. I’m not here for trouble. What happened to the others?94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09igccx01
“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!”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlscLPmVpS
“Excuses from weaklings!” Achlys exclaimed.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDkxKgd6du
Nobody was killed,” one of them spoke up in defense. “A man and his son were taken.”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgAPRp2OZi
Son? What in Kronos’ name? Achlys paused in confusion.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sNQloYqW8
...Do they mean Corder and Antonio? That might mean...94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWaFHvKD9h
Achlys turned and snapped at the other workers. “All of you, out, now!”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhKLhhLLep
The man she was talking to tried to hurry out, but Achlys grabbed him by his shirt collar. The man yelped.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij3shKEtqV
“Not you. I still have questions. How long ago was this?”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwbmy8AYVB
“This morning,” he blurted out.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sx0fcfCcw
“Did PISTOL say where they were going?”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiytFXqN6Z
“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!”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPd5dayJQo
Achlys let out a frustrated growl and shoved the man into the elevator just before it closed.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxxTry9Vz8

“It's safe! The rest of you come out if you’re still here!”94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY5nkzoNJj
It took a moment, but slowly Lucy came out from a large bush that certainly wasn’t so full before.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7nq2FsT9V
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNOUUqRX19
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmesBXHiNiy
“He left days ago,” Lucy answered.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLbi3L810s
“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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQNNWNMVw
“He never said. We tried to stop him. He was in a hurry,” Vivian answered quickly to redirect Achlys’ attention from Lucy.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyXbUvgus
“We need to find him,” Achlys said firmly. “He’s the only thing that matters now... He’s essential to the plan!”
