Everyone was staring as Abyss and Volt charged in the entrance of PISTOL HQ. A younger agent ran for the emergency alarm before the leader of the rebel faction entered the room. 83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSr8HYXTC
“Here are our esteemed guests.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZnnHaFusY
All the eyes in the room instantly moved away from the twins and to the powerful-looking man. It was clear he was coming on in years, but at the same time, he radiated energy fiercer than anyone in the room.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRsiXilaOK
If Volt didn’t know better, he would have thought this man had his own Crystal Cartridge.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2cochn64Y
“You’re late.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicKZUiwyDp
Volt saw the glare Abyss was giving him out of the corner of his eye. Normally his would be where he blamed everything on Abyss, but… a couple things Abyss said earlier made Volt reconsider. It was a new era of their life, and in the past, Volt maybe wasn’t the most considerate. It was time for him to own up to his own actions.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51dOt7IPB4
“It was my fault sir,” Volt explained. “Abyss didn’t want to jump ship in the first place. I…” Volt wonder if there was any excuse that this high-ranking PISTOL official would accept.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYucuw3LoI
“It doesn’t matter. You are here now. We will go over your expectations tomorrow. As for now, you will remain in your quarters.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyLsTnQdxS
3 large agents and a small woman came over to escort them.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1QA2dNmsE
“A little girl like you came to escort one the most powerful beings alive?” Volt questioned teasingly.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRz3IvE2j6
Without warning, she roundhouse kicked Volt in the head, grabbed his right arm, and twisted it behind his back while the boy was still on his knees.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCRlb0iWAg
She didn’t say a word as Abyss stared at her dumbfounded, and Volt groaned from the pain. “Got it.. got it. I’m sorry- ow! Uncle, uncle!” Volt used his left hand tap the agent’s arm frantically.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75VbNdSxwo
After a long moment, she released Volt and he collapsed onto the ground.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahpSMlvbz7
“Never seen a girl in real life before,” Volt muttered, massaging his shoulder and standing up. “Friggin’ terrifying.” Master told us we wouldn’t have to worry about girls! The liar! Probably thought that would be funny… I didn’t know he had a sense of humor, but that still seems like the twisted kind of prank he would pull.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUU31xRBGy
“Don’t get on Alexandra’s bad side,” the commander advised. “She’s one of our best fighters. And all of our fighters are trained against imprisoned power holders.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfW0svrJsf
After Volt stood back up, the woman put one hand on his just-healed shoulder, and one of the 3 other escorts did the same. Volt shuddered at her touch. He did not like the sound of that.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYQOnsbZyy
The other two escorts took Abyss the same way, and led the two brothers down a long, narrow hallway that did not do well for Volt’s crippling claustrophobia.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirvLAp0XGJ
Some banging caught Volt’s attention up ahead, and he realized that there were people imprisoned behind thick, glass walls. The rest of their cells were completely white as well, some of them were banging on walls that weren’t made of the glass.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcoSi1Zub4
It must be one sided. Volt realized. They couldn’t even see the lock mechanisms, and only knew the pure white cube they were trapped in. Their clothes were even pure white. Some were screaming, curled into the fetal position, but the sounds barely came through to the hall that that decibel. That’s Volt realized what was going on.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC60EgGUy6E
Sensory deprivation.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnvE0BCl6f
No doubt the prisoners were hallucinating and losing their minds. One cell was frosted over so much that Volt couldn’t see the person inside. These cells were designed to hold people with cartridge implants.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaI7zyHLsw
Volt was sweating now and clenching his fists. Would he have to live in one of these torcher chambers?83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuFBM0vVv
Volt glanced over his shoulder at his brother to see how Abyss was holding up, and the darker haired twin’s expression was dull and emotionless.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06NEIvLCKV
How is he always able to keep his cool no matter the situation? Volt wondered. He was constantly impressed and jealous of his brother. Nothing phases Abyss. Except the parachute thing, but even the toughest guys must have their weaknesses. I just wish I could be narrowed down to one like him. 83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I4P7IwTNg
Luckily, they stopped at an elevator, and after going up to the 2nd floor, they were led to a regular residential suite. This floor seemed to be where most of the agents lived.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U9jrlxtiK
The girl that took Volt down earlier, handed him a set of keys and pointed to a door.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbXpEQwUTI
This would be where the brothers would stay for the next while.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzDCqb8SXC
She left without another word, and the other agents followed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKHxE5gMuT
Volt unlocked the door, after the twins walked in.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9xZDoS38R
A small, rickety bunk bed, a door leading to the shower, and a dresser filled with plain, dark colored t-shirts were all that existed in their sleeping quarters, but after the horrors downstairs, Volt found himself appreciating the room. Peeling tan paint decorated the walls, and the sheets were a darker brown.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMfzDrOIHa
Volt claimed the top bunk, and Abyss had no objections.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSRtwOpNi4
Abyss took a quick shower before bed, but Volt climbed right into his rough sheets.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv8RCd2kjJ
A shower was a luxury Volt would never have. His cartridge had a bug that transformed his molecular structure to be closer to pure electric circuitry. If he ever touched water he’d short himself out. It could range anywhere from a static shock to completely frying his nerves system and shutting him down for good.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAcyi6LZ8e
At least that was the theory, and one he did not want to test out.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8pCdkqy67
In the plus side, he didn’t sweat, didn’t need to drink anything, and didn’t need to shower, all of which could hypothetically kill him.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUDNYSIToq
Yet another weakness that Volt held.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMkIVNyCK9
Just the sound of water could make Volt shudder.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQZRXEUkR
Eventually, his ever-racing mind finally slowed enough for Volt to get some sleep, but as per usual, he had fever dreams of Diyet-knows what: Brown-furred humanoid wolves chasing hooded figures; The sun crashing down to earth while a girl turned from her lover and leapt into the flames; funerals in sparkling crystal labyrinths; flying islands; poisonous gasses; green skulls… all a testament to how Volt’s brain never slowed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibVXJ1Q74z
For someone who was supposed to have endless energy, Volt never slept well, and always had difficulty waking up.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zecKGaxR
Abyss had to shake him from sleep for their first training session.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvdMdX80ZR
* * *
Volt pulled on a loose, navy-blue t-shirt. Abyss selected an olive-green shirt for himself. And with that, they went to navigate the base in search of the gym.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF68QSRlEG
Abyss and Volt shuffled into the elevator and began to look over the buttons. As they were thinking, the elevator began to move without input. It went upwards until They reached the top floor.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjiEMl6uU3
The commander looked in at them, clearly surprised that they were just standing around in the elevator. “Gentlemen? Did you need something?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgEtJ7AsTJ
“Uh-“ Volt didn’t know how to answer and he watched his brother out of the corner of his eye. Abyss moved further back into the elevator, silently. Volt swallowed hard.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxBMdOgB2S
He wasn’t sure what was going on. Yeah, the commander was intimidating, but Abyss was the most resilient guy Volt knew! Granted, Abyss was only of the only guys Volt knew. But that still didn’t change the fact that Abyss had been acting strange since they were dropped at the junction. Volt had hoped Abyss was getting better since the parachute incident, but now he was acting strange again.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpfQ3XBCPd
Regardless, Volt stood up straight and answered. “We’re just trying to get used to the place, sir. Figuring out way around.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrOJK8fD37
The commander huffed. “Does that means you’re lost?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgmFbO0oHb
Volt drew back in surprise at how the commander figured it out. Volt shook off the initial emotion and decided he had to quickly cover. “O-of course not. We know how to get back to our room, don’t we? We’re not lost!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c5xFvi9rT
Volt thought he saw a slight a hint of amusement flash across the Commander’s face, but it was gone before Volt could solidify his assumption.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZfg7tvscs
“The training gym is on the first floor, my sister Helena can point you to it once you reach the front. I honestly thought I would have to come looking for you two when Jesus called saying you were both absent. I did not expect you to come to me.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2GFFTDINO
Volt held back a laugh. He wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be a joke, but.. it sounded like one?83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfV538SHCX
The Commander’s face fell. “I don’t believe I have properly introduced myself to you. You can call me H, Commander H .” He held out a strong arm for Volt to shake. The boy took Commander H’s hand and shook it firmly.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzzayShgA
“Well then, I’m Volt.” Their arms dropped to their sides again, and Volt looked over his shoulder. He signaled for Abyss to introduce himself, but the dark-haired twin averted his eyes, crossing his arms. “Uh…”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0piH77VQpr
Volt wasn’t entirely sure what to do with the awkward pause, but eventually he turned back to look at the commander again. “My brother over there is Abyss.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9z4PwG7oM
“Hmph,” H nodded in recognition towards Abyss. “Well, now that formalities are cleared, I will make sure you get to floor one, so you do not continue standing in here in silence.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR62IMrPEMI
“That won’t be necessary, sir.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDYnWERppw
Commander H turned towards the buttons and pressed number 1. “I insist.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oKp5xv7Vw
Since now had to degress from the top of a 4 story building, it took longer to get to floor one than it should have.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLzTlUHzbT
“I expect a series reports of top-tier participation in training, and minimum reports of disobedience and rebelliousness when Alexandra calls in this afternoon. Besides your tardiness, of course.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43jN5FCKwN
“Yes, sir.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrGCjS46MF
“Good man,” Commander H responded, placing a firm grip on Volt’s shoulder and shaking it lightly.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBN9PDEHtI
They parted ways with Commander H at the end of the elevator ride with a salute. Volt was invigorated by his interaction with Commander H. Any worries he had the night before were mostly gone. The leader of this rebel group seemed to like the twins, which significantly aided Volt is his trust to the cooperation.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsJwlWsAJ1
That’s when Volt started to wonder if the plan had to involve taking down PISTOL. If the rosork were able to make peace with PISTOL, they would build a strong world. They could make deals that would benefit both parties. The rosork could use Earth as a place to temporarily station and harvest any necessary energy to finish their journey. Earth wouldn’t have to be striped of it’s resources. They could find a new power source here that didn’t involve harvesting life. The humans do it somehow, why can’t the rosork? Abyss and Volt could make new friends and get away from the stuffy ship more often.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYQpQBYxH3
If there was one thing Volt’s supercharged, never-resting brain was good for, it was making and storing plans before the situation they were made for even came up.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRQaguH1ru
Volt ran through the thought cycle one or two more times before the twins made it to the gym.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMExxVq5gXP
Combat training: toned, bare-chested men brawled on the inside; quick, trim, athletic women delivered well-placed kicks at their opponent’s heads wearing sports bras and leggings. In the back, a couple guys laughed and punched each other playfully. One of the flexed bulging muscles on of the smaller guys responded immediately by flexing his nearly non-existent ones. The group erupted into boisterous laughter, and one of the taller guys noogied the smallest. That is, until the short lady from last night stormed over.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBuDG6kA7z
“Take this seriously!” She ordered. “If you’re all going to be slacking and distracting the people who need to grow stronger, I’ll show you how weak you all really are!” Her shout climbed over the room’s noise. Everyone went quiet. Volt’s eyes were bulging with shock.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jfJRJxfcy
The biggest of the guys in the group started to chuckle as the smaller ones bit their lips.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbXrlRLwIN
Alexandra swept a leg under the two rebellious men, toppling them both over onto each other. They looked up at her in terror. “When I give you an order, you obey without hesitation. Do I make myself clear?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHmzOSva5F
“Yes, Alexandra.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS0fB6xitv
“That’s yes ma’am to you!” She stepped on one of their forearms and began to press down, simultaneously turning her foot to dig into his arm.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfIwtl0SaY
“Yes ma’am! Yes ma’am!” they both cried, even the one who was spared the most of the pain.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztAnXrH5Ul
She walked away slowly. “Good. Now get back to work.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmA4QGLiA
The two scrambled to their feet and started pushing against each other in some form of brute strength competition that the twins never practiced in their life.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKpZuIujQh
“Muscles won’t get you far without strategy,” Alexandra called back to them in annoyance. “Practice your forms!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnofXyPx8p
The rest of the room began practicing choreographed forms against each other.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuPsLprJIz
Alexandra stopped and patted one man on the shoulder. “Keep up the good work, Watchoski, I want to see you work on changing up your tempo to throw off your opponents.” She looked to his training partner, “Bartowski, you are going to have to improvise if you want to stay on your feet against him.” She began to walk away before they even got to respond.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeZkl50iuT
“Thank you, ma’am,” said Watchoski.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQQt9R3ojC
“Yes, ma’am,” answered Bartowski with a hint of nervousness in his voice.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1nGIoEAgP
“Aaron , see me after,” she said, smacking a guy who looked like he was related to her upside the head. “Just because Had-”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3V74v19Sp
She kicked him in the groin and pulling him down by the shoulder to look her directly in the eyes. “Remember where we are, numbskull.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjatITE5Yr9
Aaron growled. “Just because Commander H put you in charge of the rookies doesn’t mean you the boss of me.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi46eLNLDF
The man barely seemed affected by the crotch kick, but it didn’t matter, because Alexandra pushed him backwards and he toppled off balance, falling on the ground. “You clearly need more training in analyzing your opponents, warmonger. Don’t argue back to me. You were the one stupid enough to take the bait and got killed for it.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBeZOlt16I
Alexandra walked away from with a smug look on her face. The look fell when she made eye-contact with Volt and began walking over. She went in for a roundhouse kick to the face and Volt squeezed his eyes shut. After a moment came with no impact. He opened one eye warily and saw Alexandra’s foot resting a centimeter away from Volt’s nose.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSVaHpv9D6
“Why are you not working?” She set her foot down gently.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfkyfjzr1i
“W-we just got here. I’m sorry we’re late ma’am!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUmabfFVOh
Alexandra rolled her eyes. “I am aware you are late. That’s no excuse. When in Rome, do as the Romans do… Unless you are Greek.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtelLDMDxuB
“What? I- I don’t think I am. This is Rome? I thought we were in America.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde3UKhyIuQ
“I know you are not. It is just an expression. Apologies, I forgot you were aliens.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7HCWdZ7ZK
“Uh… Just raised by-“83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztLjEeduY5
“I have something else to apologize for. I should not have attacked a rookie coming into our ranks. Even if he was being rude and sexist.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kcvxv87U0
“I didn’t mean to, really!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJICHdTl2oh
“I know that. But I thought you should recognize it. In the meantime, you seem unfamiliar with this form of training. I was told you each had some knowledge of fighting before coming here. Would you care to share how your previous mentors taught you.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiMpL3jAhK
“I- I guess we could. Abyss?” When Volt looked back at Abyss, the darker haired twin furrowed his brows. “Uh.. or not.” Volt lowered his voice. “I don’t know what’s gotten into him,” he huffed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdB8nRBRGS
“Doesn’t seem to be a fan of crowds,” Alexandra pointed out.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1waufO0TC
“What? How can you tell?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8J9HuK0nB
“You said this behavior isn’t normal? He seemed fine just outside the doorway, but the moment he walked in, his shoulders fell, and his body caved in on itself.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVOFjU5Na
“Why didn’t I see that?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEZIWK6il
“It is all just to say, he instantly became more closed off and his body naturally tried to make himself smaller. It is common in this world for people to be socially anxious at times.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshz3DIEJZd
Volt was feeling overwhelmed with this description. He never noticed any of this about Abyss. Then again, they were never in crowded places. The only rosork the twins ever interacted with in the past were their trainers, and there were only one or two at a time. As Volt thought, he began to realize Abyss only started acting awkward around when they were dropped on-planet.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpfkwKLOw0
“Now, if you would train, even just as you normally do today. You too, Abyss.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU30fHMdBkG
“Right. Yes ma’am.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpcnzfMcrW
Alexandra turned away, and Volt turned to the nearest agent training on their own. Volt delivered a powerful punch to his opponent’s gut.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQEUkHmxSS
“Always be the last one standing,” Vol muttered before turning to another. Abyss began following suite, and agents fell left and right. The panic of the room grew tremendously loud so that no one could hear Alexandra shouting over the crowd.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczmFE2Aom
A few people tried to run, others braced for a fight, but didn’t last.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPnyyrHqHV
Eventually, Volt reached Aaron. “Oh yeah! This is happening!” The bigger man shouted with enthusiasm before aiming a punch for Volt’s face. Volt dodged and tried I speed behind Aaron, getting countered with a jab in the back. Volt nearly fell over, but regained balance quickly. Volt grinned and turned back to his opponent. Aaron mirrored this.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbl5WoPavs
That’s when a storage aura surrounded Aaron and all his muscles seemed to double in size.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDSyXuMqAe
Alexandra tried I travel to the pair over the unconscious bodies of her students as Abyss waited patiently for Volt and Aaron’s spar to finish. Abyss was the last standing outside the trio.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJOwAkJPL
“That’s enough, Ares !” Alexandra exclaimed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkO2vvbe8D
“If that’s how you feel, you should come fight me yourself!” Aaron exclaimed, hitting Volt square in the chest. Volt didn’t process what he thought he heard in time and was caught off-guard falling to the ground.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryYWraLx0T
Instead of jumping back up, Volt sat up just enough to watch the scene unfold. Abyss ran over to Volt, panic written on his face. 83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0y9jvALtg
“I’m fine,” Volt said, waving Abyss off.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kl3kbMH6i
Aaron charged Alexandra, who ducked down after swept Aaron to to ground in one motion.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jVJ1INS5c
“I thought his name was Aaron,” Volt said as Alexandra placed her foot onto Aaron’s back, preventing him from getting up.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63R15kwmfA
“What? Yeah. Yeah, it is. Why.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZqzCau7In
“I could have sworn you said Ares.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirLhq1mzhY
“Slip of the tongue,” Alexandra said quickly.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXMasybeYs
“Not so wise now, eh -? Ugh!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhluwrFb02b
Alexandra kicked Aaron in the side, cutting the large man off.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGFWL0WuHG
“And was that a Cartridge power ?” Volt asked. He let Abyss pull him up before crossing his arms. “I thought we were the only ones here with those powers .”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1bjOuRmPf
“You are,” Alexandra said simply.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCXrQqs3YC
“But I could have sworn I saw- “83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4aCUVVm49
“Trick of the light. Right Aaron?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG9jrXoktu
Aaron only growled in response.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JMgWJ7Mti
Alexandra sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. She glared at Volt when she finally put her arm down. “What sparked this sudden act of violence?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4kSbCkpxK
“I was training!” Volt said, defending himself. “Like you said to!” 83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXKwTGYmEC
“Yes, train. Not start conflict.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaf3USasSN
“What’s the difference?” Volt demanded.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYumfCdvTi3
Abyss finally spoke up. “We were trained purely through fighting each other. Learn from experience. Be the last standing.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fxcmENqlB
Alexandra’s fierce expression fell. “I see… I will let you off the hook for now, but next time, we train properly. Class dismissed for anyone left standing. Aaron, go find Axel , we need to get these soldiers back on their feet.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0w89usgOt
“Why do I have to? They’re your students!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLc3LklhrR
“And you were part of the problem. Go,” Alexandra ordered.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAYA7ITIYT
“9:00 sharp for training tomorrow boys,” she told the twins. “Move out.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDntIMJ8dBn
The boys nodded quickly and hurried out of the room, leaving Alexandra and Aaron behind. All the needed to eat was a loud crash from the training room before they decided to run back to the elevator.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpyo95S4Qo
“You sure are gutsy,” Abyss said with a chuckle.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEDdaQWejA
“And what were you doing just standing there?” Volt laughed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9D0jzhx75
“I didn’t want to but in. Besides, I had to know if the other guy would be a more worthy opponent. I eat you every time, I wanted to fight whoever was stronger.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPVyMuMOxv
“Uh-huh, sure. More like you didn’t want to be the center of attention for either of those two,” Volt said, grinning.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI2XawQ4LI
“Did you?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq81txENstP
“No!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k1ND4VTUF
Abyss smirked. “Then I say my decision was justified.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKE07RjDdH
“Let’s just get back to our room,” Volt said rolling his eyes and reaching for the control panel.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWYSZFhkW
“Ah-ah-ah!” Abyss stuck his hand in the way of Volt’s.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp4eCqDW5N
“What now?” Volt said, with mock-annoyance.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52xB8hQXsB
“Have you not noticed the unlabeled floor?” Abyss pointed at a button below the basement level.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzxgJfkbX0
“It probably rubbed off, haven’t we gotten into enough trouble today?” Volt asked, voice turning critical.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSvDJUXQmc
“Not a chance. You were the one who got in trouble, and it could barely be called that much,” Abyss explained. “You were doing what you thought you were supposed to, so she let you off. Now it’s time to unwind and do whatever we want. You only live thrice. ”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTBnGCoZur
“Pretty sure that’s not a human term. Especially when it could end the only one humans get. We’re not Rosorken, bro.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7FyZL9sZG
Abyss shrugged and pressed the button.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd0suxqEcn
“Abyss!”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGdvJurELU
“Come on. It’ll be fun! Not like that skydiving trip you got us into.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaKVEsw6sb
“That was fun. Seizing a once in a life-time opportunity like that had to be done. This is everyday mischief that could lead to all sorts of problems.” 83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJCtnkFEOb
“And me almost dying wasn’t one?” 83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCko77jjJNe
The elevator doors opened and revealed a dark cellar that was lit with a green glow.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUBoxIcLhW
“Look at that ambiance,” Abyss said. “We need this lighting in our room. ”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchqQDssCFo
Abyss stepped out of the elevator, and Volt had no choice but to follow.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUegxsqsqx
“I have to disagree; this just screams bad idea.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G9x3kj8bd
“I know the feeling.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnkvQH4HT3
Regardless, Abyss continued. Begrudgingly, Volt followed.83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf9wBLIDAZ
Abyss stopped by a large, blinking red button. “Hey, Volt. What does this button do?”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr2wzmAtHU
Volt’s eyes widened in panic as he tried to protest. “Abyss, you don’t know what that will do; it’s probably dangerous! The master warned us against red lights.”83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGeNNDpEbH
