Shattered World

Chapter 29

D3AD_L0X

For the past few days, I’ve been avoiding Sky and Jason as much as I can.

Don’t get me wrong..I don’t really hate them..I just…

I just need some time alone..

And the matters with Demon and Tris aren’t really helping either..

They always argue with each other on what to do, and they always drag me into it.

And I’m the one who always has to intervene and get them to chill the crap down.

From what I’ve heard, the counter attack is going to be within a few days’ time.

The only good thing that came out of this situation is that I’m not sent out on any more missions.

You can only tolerate so much of being treated like a messenger boy.

Also, Sky has been pestering me nonstop about spending time with our former friend, but I always decline.

Can’t they see that I just don’t want to see him?

..And I’m rambling again.

But anyways, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the gym, working on increasing my skills in combat and my aim.

Hey, there’s a storm coming, and I do not want to be washed away.

Right now, its night time, and as usual, I have to drag the other robot away from the subject testing rooms.

And of course, he would whine about the “amazing stories” he was listening to.

Jeez..How childish can Sky be?

It makes me feel like I’m his mom or something..

After dropping him off back to his cell, however, I decided that I was going to check on Windy and Musona again. I haven’t seen them for quite some time, and it was starting to bother me.

Heading out into the open, I surveyed the area. It doesn’t seem like anything much has happened while I was gone.

But then again, I could be wrong. My night vision isn’t exactly the best…And why the crap am I visiting them during the night?! What am I..A stalker?!

Walking right back into the fortress, I heard some clicking sounds, but I just assumed it was Demon or someone typing away on a computer or something..

As I reached my own cell, however, the clicking sound seemed to be getting louder and louder.

Confused, I rummaged around the room but found nothing.

I got an eerie feeling that someone was watching me while I was digging around…

Eventually giving up, I plopped onto my pitiful excuse for a bed and powered off.

------------------------------------------------*Time skip*---------------------------------------------

This is it.

This is the day.

As soon as I started up, I let myself out of my cell and into the main control room, expecting to see either Demon or Tris or both.

Sure enough, Demon and Tris were there, making a final check of all the things we would be needing for this siege.

“Hey guys..” I greeted, letting my presence be known.

As soon as those words escaped my mouth, Demon plopped a giant stack of papers into my arms and ordered me to check off each and every single one of the items on the list.

Huh. You know, for such an important day, you would expect it to start in a more thrilling way.

Groaning and muttering to myself, I looked through each of the things and wandered around, making sure that everything was in place.

After I was done with the stupidly long task, I dumped the pile of papers onto the desk back in the room again and left, deciding to check on Sky.

And of course, he was busy snoozing off in his cell.

Suddenly feeling irrated, I left myself in and jabbed him on the forehead. “Wake up, dum dum. Today’s the big day.”

“Huh?!” Sky shot up from his resting position. “It is?!”

“Yeah it is.”

“Oh crap!” Sky ran and tripped as he was on his way out of the room. I rolled my eyes and dragged him into the meeting room. There we would all meet up and go over the plan again.

Then its show time.

Trudging onwards, we eventually reached the room.

Sky, having had enough of being schlepped around the darn place, broke free from my grip and just followed, grumbling angrily to himself.

“This is it..” I breathed, staring in astonishment as I looked around to see thousands of people there.

These are the people I will be fighting with.

These are the people of Omega.

And together, we will put an end to Delta’s reign.
