Cosmos

Chapter 26 - Weak Spot

"Let them go, lax

We're trying to help you.

"Get out of my head, Aziarah. "Lax said.

Guess you already know my name.

"Did some research. "Lax ran his fingers on his hair.

It's over lax.

"That's what they all say. "Lax then clapped his hands making the room pitch black losing sight of him in the darkness.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are. "Lax baritone voice echoed.

"I'll give your father back, Azi. "

Lies.

Azi marched forward to where the voice was. But then the lights turned on. Leaving her on the middle of the circular room.

"Shoot. "Azi looked around and saw the walls of the room glitching, showing Lax' face.

"Wrong move, thought you trained yourself for this day? "Lax smiled evilly.

"Tell me, how do you want to die? "Lax showed a remote with different types of buttons. Azi gritted her teeth and looked around.

Focus.

"Your father has been performing low these days. People do age, you know. "Lax said while fiddling with the remote

"YOU BASTARD! STOP USING MY FATHER FOR YOUR STUPID MACHINES. "Azi said with her hands balled into fists.

"Watch your mouth, kid. This is not stupidity. This is the future I'm making. You'll thank me soon when I turn your body into electronic. "He then smirked.

"I'd rather die than being one of your toys. "Azi looked at lax with firing eyes.

"But again, you're here. I caught you. Care to assist your father then? "Lax said raising his eyebrows.

In one swift motion, Azi broke all the glasses of the wall making it pitch black again.

I'm not weak like you, Lax. If I were you, I'd shut this down and unite myself with the forgotten. Breaking this stupid ring boundary between us. We're earth looking like a Saturn with your stupid inventions.

Tell me, lax. What are you afraid of?

Death?

Perhaps, loosing someone you loved.

A friend?

That hate and grudges will kill us all. Stop this.

Azi sent that through her head. Taking her gun out shooting it on the walls to break it.

"Walls are weak, it's high tech but made with not-bulletproof-glass "She rested her gun on her waist band and continued walking.

I know what made you do this, Lax. You lost a friend when you were a kid. You were a nerd, happy with all your books not caring if you don't have a friend. But everyone has a friend, right? The day you got bullied, someone came. God sent it is. A girl, A girl much more fearless than you'll ever be. She died after protecting you. The gang didn't want their members to be treated as weak, they're known to be untouchable but that girl. An amazing girl. Got bruised up. Fought 'til death because you matter. And now, making everyone your robotics, your servants, treating them as peasants won't get her back.

"SHUT UP, AZIARAH! "The voice of lax was heard at the walls of the hallway while Aziarah was walking with a straight face.

"You don't know this messed up society! I'm welcoming future for everyone! They weren't scared of anything back then. They were all bunch of prideful humans thinking about their names and how able they are to make a human breathing like them bleed! Those kinds of people deserve to be a servant who knows how to bow down! "Lax said with so much hatred in his voice.

"And you're just like them. You turned out just like them and we are the past you. If no one can stop you, we will. Everyone will live a cruel world, a messed-up society. Stop acting like you're the only one who's lost his mind in this damn world because you made it WORSE THAN BEFORE. "Azi's blue eyes turned into darker blue color, more like a storm.

"You can't ever convince me, you're nothing, Azi. I'd like you to see how your father will die. "Lax said then suddenly all the walls were breaking apart leading her to a glass door.

"D-Dad. "

"LET HIM GO. HE NEEDS OXYGEN. YOU HEARTLESS PRICK. "Azi kicked the glass door but it's no use. The center. Once Azi shut that off everything will be deactivated.

"You still have a half tank, wait for me, dad. Please. "Azi kept running on the dark hall trying to find her way to the center.
