Chaos In a Nutshell: Fresh-ish Start

37. Final Lands

"The next planet is Ultimas' least favorite" Alayna starts

"Why?" Yami asks

"Well, the place had mainly people who are against Ultimas, but few can do anything, there are two major foundations that are helping Ultimas, but there's a rumor that one of them's about to turn on him, and to add to our cause even more, we've got a little rebellion forming over there already, I thought my band was pretty big and strong, but it's nothing compared to them, you know vault hunters and all of that?" Alayna asks

"Yeah. like FL4K and Zero" Yami nods

"Right, but it's Zer0, anyway, you know those people from Final Fantasy seven?" Alayna questions

"Of course, Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockeheart, I like Barret the most though" Yami smiles

"Yeah, Cloud and Tifa, anyway, the planet's basically a combination of both, except...not" Alayna laughs

"Huh?" Yami stares at her, confused

"Okay, how do I explain this....okay, okay, so think if the main cast from Borderlands met the main cast from seven and they became friends, except they were different people with different weapons and were...okay, so here's an example, Fl4K, like you said, he would probably be Lane, one of the robots of the group, the one who's good with animals and stealth, right?" Alayna tries to make sense of it

"...Suuure" Yami slowly nods

"Barret might be Kola, Big gun, big guy, loud and protective?" Alayna asks

"Okay..yeah, I think I get it, but what about the two corporations?" Yami asks

"Right, one side creates new physical weapons, like lightning gauntlets or plasma guns, that stuff, the other creates bio-weapons, like...their latest project is this weird goop that has a mind of its own, I would say it's like a symbiote from Venom, but all the different goops are different, they're like snowflakes, except they're as different as fire and ice, those are some of their goops, they called the whole experiment "Project: Overkill" but now they're working harder on it with "Project: Underkill" because the goops seem to kill anyone that merges with it, and it drives you crazy, causing you to hear voices, experience memories that weren't yours, yada yada, insanity stuff, try to stay away from the place even if they are the traitors, alright?" Alayna asks

"What else have they made?" Yami asks

"They made these jackets that cause the wearer to transform into demon-like creatures, powerful, and all, that project has been surprisingly successful, the person who died from one is because of a prototype, speaking of, they also created this machine that you stand in, causing your body to create some sort of new genes that let you modify your body, it's almost cancerous and from the experiment only one survived and he left the planet as soon as he could, to fake his death" Alayna rants off

"Hm" Yami strokes her chin

"You're not thinking about trying the stuff out, are you?" Alayna asks

"I mean, I kinda am, I'm really thinking about testing my luck" Yami laughs a bit

"Oh god, no" Alayna puts her head in her hands

"You really don't want me going there, do you?" Yami asks

"No, I really don't, okay?" Alayna asks

"...Okay" Yami sighs

"Thanks, just be careful around that planet in general" Alayna warns

"Yeah, from what you've said, there are guards on high alert over there" Yami nods

"Exactly" Alayna points at her

"What'd you say the name of the planet was again?" Yami asks

"Final Lands" Alayna answers

"Huh..." Yami squints

"I know, original" Alayna laughs a bit

"What I was thinking" Yami starts to relax a bit
