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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJZJOrwgd0
There was only one choice left. To destroy the world.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FRj2w99yg
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13wuMz0Fiw
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP1vV96pKs
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?101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrj4kqEJGQ
That’s when it dawned on her.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLOnAYglLs
They released Kronos’s army when they destroyed PISTOL. They’d unwittingly moved Kronos ages ahead in his process.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm5GEMZ2PP
She had to move faster if she wanted a chance to so much as stall Kronos’ plans.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvvhYhBqlk
Project: Disaster is in full swing starting with this mission, but am I too late?101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3UFxCu3Yy
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM7i9oZgv7
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYJ8RLAQDI
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf8Fq5D2mD
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcCiTMmRWd
If only the queen understood that her kidnappinh and the destruction of the world was for the betterment of many.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQYfG6ROmx

Despite Achlys’ best efforts to hurry back, she was too slow. Achlys surfaced, but she left the queen bound in the sewers.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnImQZ5vpGS
The hotel appeared normal at first, but once Achlys got to the suite, everything was wrecked.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNyAs5RXei
A handful of hotel workers were cleaning the lobby when Achlys arrived. They stared at her in surprise and terror.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgjuqnkWGB
“It’s her!” One of them whispered loudly. “Do any of you have Commander H’s card?”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxjzk81Cdc
Someone else fumbled with a slip of paper. Achlys rushed towards them and snatched the card, stuffing it into her pocket.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowb2KG4Dbq
“You’re lucky I don’t snap your neck. I’m not here for trouble. What happened to the others?101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQbZSoN5iP
“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!”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4amMRgKway
“Excuses from weaklings!” Achlys exclaimed.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk3qwph7AC
Nobody was killed,” one of them spoke up in defense. “A man and his son were taken.”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPpUpTmWpV
Son? What in Kronos’ name? Achlys paused in confusion.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoogbCyA4XZ
...Do they mean Corder and Antonio? That might mean...101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy882TRBc5
Achlys turned and snapped at the other workers. “All of you, out, now!”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mqegOlAr
The man she was talking to tried to hurry out, but Achlys grabbed him by his shirt collar. The man yelped.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eAYXsRBxy
“Not you. I still have questions. How long ago was this?”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPHDjR64U3
“This morning,” he blurted out.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVko7alVOw
“Did PISTOL say where they were going?”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0VfgKrvwm
“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!”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RFmHBD2DF
Achlys let out a frustrated growl and shoved the man into the elevator just before it closed.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuTMklinju

“It's safe! The rest of you come out if you’re still here!”101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PTUnDBVPp
It took a moment, but slowly Lucy came out from a large bush that certainly wasn’t so full before.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe1jmOZD99
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6YFabFn3x
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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYSfA0fym0
“He left days ago,” Lucy answered.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItO467LbVw
“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.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi3moxxBML
“He never said. We tried to stop him. He was in a hurry,” Vivian answered quickly to redirect Achlys’ attention from Lucy.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pbaLLT8Db
“We need to find him,” Achlys said firmly. “He’s the only thing that matters now... He’s essential to the plan!”
