End Of Nightmares (Book 3)

Chapter 91: When Gods Descended

Lia's finger repeatedly tapping on her folded arm non-stop, her cigar's smoke lazily floating in the air from the burning end of it. Her eyes staring at the back of the heads of the trio sitting on the monitoring platform in front of her. From the corner of her eyes she can sees Jiae is giving her a dirty look, for obvious reason though.

Imagine the shock on Itzy's, Alexa's, and Lovelyz's faces when Lily benched them when they should be on the mission without giving them a reason why. Before they could even confront Lily on this matter, Lily slammed the door shut in their faces. Everyone knows how Lovelyz and the cyborgs hate one another, to think Lily left the two teams behind is unthinkable and preposterous

"Tch! What the fuck are we doing here?! We should be out there helping them!" Yuna suddenly burst out, startling the cyborgs.

"Calm down, Yuna. There must be a reason why Lily benched us." Lia sighs, extinguishing her cigar before storing it back into the cigar tube. Yuna slowly turns her head to Lia, looking at Lia in disbelief.

"What reason?! Compared to everyone else here, we're far better! Just the six of us can cover the entire region. And since when you're becoming Lily's lapdog? Just because she pats your head doesn't mean you have to wag your tail and show your belly to her!" Yuna snaps back at her members.

"Well, you're the one that is wagging her tail. We're not. But then again, you do look like a fucking mutt." Yein giggles, making Yuna blowing steams out of her ears.

"Oh yeah? Coming from someone that are shaking their asses to Alice's tune, that is rich. But then, you're not much different than us now, are you? And Alice is so much shorter than all of you, yet you feared that violet- feathered crow tit!" Chaeryeong laughs out loud in return.

"But here you are, sitting in this dainty little base with us. Guess you girls aren't that much different with us in your beloved Lily's eyes huh? I think Lily does think you tin cans as dead weights. I mean really? Cyborgs having feeling? That motherfucker you buried the other day; Sveizer, wasn't it? What, he fucked you girls so good that you couldn't see the evil behind him?" Mijoo snickers.

Her words like a knife, cut deep on the rest of the cyborgs. They might be a cyborg, but they still have hearts after all. And Mijoo has no right to smear shit on Sveizer's name when she does not even know the story behind it. Ryujin is about to calls her out, only to be stopped when an iron rod whizzes past her, so close to her face that she can feel the air drag coming from the iron rod. The iron rod hits the concrete pillar behind them with a loud boom, destroying the pillar.

When Ryujin turns her head at the source, she sees Rosē and Wheein are hugging their heads for cover, with Rachel still facing the monitor in front of her, but her left arm is extending out towards the cyborgs. From her palm, slowly an iron rod squeezes out, until five of them hovering in straight line aiming at both Lovelyz and the cyborgs.

"Kids, please sit down? Mommy is working here~~" Rachel drones on, typing the keyboard with her right hand while occasionally relaying updates to the ground troops. The cyborgs and Lovelyz suddenly take their stances, ready for incoming attack.

"You seem to be missing the point here, my sweetest Yuna. Lily ain't benching you." The iron rod around Rachel's palm begins to vibrate, and from the look of it, Rachel is trigger ready to launches that rod at them.

"Oh? Do enlighten us then. Why is the Great Lily Wolfhart is treating us like a dead weight then?" Yuna sneers at Rachel, her right arm slowly spins around and transforming into a phaser cannon, aiming at Rachel's head. With the air suddenly turning tense, Rosē and Wheein are in elevated alertness, in case thing turning south.

"You girls are never dead weight. Not once we ever thought of you that. Instead, you girls are our greatest asset in this upcoming war. And as for why my sister is benching you, it is quite simple, you see." The iron rod comes flying lazily towards Yuna, but that is because Yuna's conditioned brain capable to interpret the extreme velocity of the projectile. And sadly, Yuna's body is unable to react as fast as her brain is crunching the information, making her a stationary target. But Rachel suddenly stands in front of her, holding the iron rod in her hand. And Yuna did not see Rachel's movement at all.
