We Could Be Immortals

A World not Worth Living

"Giant battle robots now roam the Earth. It started in San Fransokyo and when the city fell, many more followed and soon, there was nothing but destruction for miles.
Everyone lost. Those who fought against them were killed and those who survived now only fight to survive. To live another day and hope for a miracle.
Many friends fell in the fight for justice. With everything going on, we didn't have time to mourn over them and had to keep moving forward.
What's the point of living if you have nothing left to live for?

"Hiro!" The muffled voice called on his communicator. "They're coming! They're he-...." A loud crash was heard on the other end and soon the only sound that followed was static. Hiro signed out.

"We lost Gogo and Lucius." He said facing down.

Violet looked at him sadly. "So it's only the four of us now?"

"We're all that's left?" He confirmed.

Silence followed, but it was broken by Wilbur. "We need to get back to the safe house." He reminded them.

He was right. Lucius and Gogo had willingly sacrificed their lives so they could complete this mission. When they succeeded, then they didn't given up their lives for nothing. Just like many of their friends and family. They all lost so much in this war and now they were all that was left.
From a world where no one gets left behind to one where everyone for themselves. They spent the past six years fighting and surviving. A few days ago, the team had found some information that could finally end this. If they...no. When they succeed this world they lived in now would never exist.

Before losing their friends, the team had infiltrated the remains of the Robinson mansion. The once colourful and bubbly home reduced to dust and rubble. The moment they found what they were looking for, robots and guards from the opposing side attacked and Gogo and Lucius chose to stay back and stall as long as they could. All five of them knew they wouldn't make it back.

The three of them hid amongst a pile of debris as a group of guards walked passed. Once the coast was clear, Violet grabbed the two boys hands and the trio were suddenly transparent. Violet's invisibility sure came in handy a lot of times. You'd rather stay hidden then fight in the open. They were close to the entrance when they both felt their female companion's grip loosen on them. Hiro and Wilbur both knew that when Violet used her powers for long periods of time it would exhaust her. And that fact that she was also making them invisible along with her only used up her energy faster.

"Just a little more, Vi." Wilbur whispered to her.

But his words couldn't stop the fatigue getting to her. They were becoming visible, fading in and out, until they were no longer invisible. Hiro caught Violet before she fell, carrying her bridal style.

"We have to be careful now." He told Wilbur.

"Lets go." He nodded.

It was much harder to stay hidden. Hiding places became limited and more guards came.

They stayed in the shadows of the remains of a building wall. Their base was just in the middle of the street. A sewer manhole.

"If you leave me, you'll get there faster."

Both men looked at the half-conscious woman in Hiro's arms.

"Don't think we're going to leave you, Vi." Hiro shook his head.

"And besides, we're almost there." Wilbur gave a slight grin.

His grin fell when a whistling sound came and soon the building beside them exploded. Their armor was now completely covered in dust and became even more dented and scratched than before. Hiro's helmet had gotten cracked. Violet laid beside him. Thank goodness she was breathing.
