Chaos In a Nutshell: Fresh-ish Start

45. At least we're done with the prologue

Flake stares down, thinking intensely, her arms crossed

"...You good?" Kyron looks at her

Flake squints

"Flake?" Kyron asks

"Huh? What?" Flake looks around

"Are you okay?" Kyron repeats

"Oh, yeah, thanks" Flake smiles, watching the floor again

"Ugh, motherf#cker" Yami stumbles out of her room, holding her head

"You're fina-what happened?" Cipher gets up

"Shut up" Yami closes her eyes, feeling around

Cipher sticks his hands up

"Where's the f#cking bathroom at?" Yami asks

"I th-" Cipher starts

"I swear, if you say another dumba$$ joke, I will shove a bottle so far up your a$$ you'll have to brush your teeth with glass cleaner" Yami points at him

"It's to your left, ma'am" Cipher quickly says

"Good" Yami goes into the bathroom

"...I think she's on her period" Mar stares

"She hasn't had it for 600-oh she's in for a rude awakening" Metal stares

"Can she even have periods anymore?" Putty asks

"I believe she can" Lexia answers

"Yeah, but how?" Alex asks

"She looks to be about 21 or so" Lexia answers

"Yeah, but she's old" Jason reminds

"Alright, there are a few rules we need to teach you about women" Clara stands up in the middle of her game with Carry

Profuse vomiting sounds come from the bathroom

"YAMI, HEY, YOU NEED A SPRITE OR SOMETHING?" Flake yells

"Give me.....a second" Yami pants

Kyron takes a Sprite from the refrigerator

"Here" He tosses it to Flake

Flake catches it

"God, I feel like I got skull-f#cking by a f#cking 5-ton hippo" Yami rubs her head

"Will this help?" Flake hands her a Sprite

"Got a D.P. in there?" Yami asks, not even opening her eyes

"D.P...?" Kyron looks through the fridge

"Sorry, Dr. Pepper, me and Troy just had an-nevermind" Yami shakes her head

Metal turns off the lights

"You don't know how much that helps" Yami finally opens her eyes

"A can or a bottle?" Kyron asks

"Can, if that's cool" Yami sits on the counter

"Catch" Kyron tosses her a can of Dr. Pepper

"Great...oh yeah, thanks" Yami catches it

Kyron nods

"So, now that you are awake, we can finally make a plan" Lexia explains

"I've got a plan" Yami cracks open the can

"That quick?" Metal asks

"Yeah" Yami goes back into her room

"...Is she going back to bed?" Alex asks

"The plan's...on...here" Yami drags the chalkboard from out of her room

Metal stares at the board

"Oh sh!t" Metal backs up

"Something wrong?" Yami takes a sip of her drink

"That's just...where I grew up, Forbidden Loop" Metal stares

"It's almost like it's destiny" Flake smiles

"That whole idea of destiny's total bullsh!t, anyway, these are the 4 planets that Ultimas has under lock and key, for the most part, Forbidden Loop, Final Lands, Kinera, and Juggernaut" Yami starts

"He took over Forbidden Loop?" Metal asks

"Yeah, let me just fill you guys in on what I've got, alright?" Yami confirms

"Yeah...you're right, questions at the end" Metal nods

"Alright, so, the first step of the plan, it'll be like a test, we go get Zeus and Prometheus, two robots from Forbidden Loop, well, Zeus used to be a leader, and Prometheus, he'll be needed, I'll tell you why later in the plan" Yami starts

"Hey, if we're going there, as a local, I think I can help out the most, even if the place is...extremely confusing" Metal suggests

"Thanks, it'll be really helpful, when we get there, we can choose a few things, the two guarantees, we'll get Juul and Selina on our side, after that, if we're still gonna try, we'll get Athena, Hades, and Posiden on our sides, also, their keys that they have hidden" Yami explains

"Juul? Man, it's been years since I last saw him" Metal laughs a bit

"After we get them on our side, if we do, then we get the overseers on our side, we do all that then we'll turn the whole planet on our side, that's just step one though" Yami takes a drink

"Good plan so far, I definitely think I'll be able to help" Metal states

"After that, we take our new friends back here, to Bargain, and drop them off, then we'll set off for this planet called Final Lands" Yami keeps going

"Huh...that...sounds familiar for some reason..." Clara stares at the ground

Alayna stares at Clara closer, not able to take her eyes off her

"Maybe you read about it somewhere" Carry suggests

"Anyway, over there, there's two companies, one is bio-weapons, the other is physical weapons, like guns, one of them is an outlier and doesn't want to be ruled by Ultimas, but the place also has a rebellion with a bunch of powerful people who don't agree with Ultimas either" Yami ignores them

"Great, if you see a good knife at one of the places, be sure to steal it for me, alright?" Cipher laughs

"Sure, when we get there, we'll need to help out the rebellion take out the opposite company, the one still rooting for Ultimas, then we'll have the rebels and the companies at our disposal, after that, we get Hermes, Aphrodite, and Demeter, more leaders of Forbidden Loop" Yami explains

"After that, I'm guessing we bring them back here?" Kyron asks

"Right, and then, with the keys I mentioned before, we'll head off to Kinera, Kinera has Aries and a lot of ships, with Posiden, Athena, and Hades' keys, we can unlock this A.I named Fathom, there's almost a guarantee that he'll help us because he used to be a ruler of Kinera before Ultimas took over, needless to say, he'll be happy to help us take Ultimas' ships and give them to us, after we take those back, we take him out of whatever computer we need to find to corrupt the computers and we get Aries, after that, we come back here" Yami describes

"Alright...yeah, I can see this plan working out with enough perseverance, but doesn't Kinera have this weird deity thing?" Clara asks

"Huh?" Yami asks

"Yeah, its name is Phosphorus, it's said that it can level lands with only one breath, but nobody knows what it looks like" Putty answers

"I...didn't know about that" Yami shakes her head

Fifteen hops excitedly

"Oh, do you know Phosphorus, girl?" Yami rubs Fifteen

Fifteen nods frequently

"It can understand English?" Cipher asks

"Yeah" Yami looks like a proud mother

"Do you know Spanish, Fiffy?" Flake crouches to face Fifteen

Fifteen grunts, almost shrugging

"Sorry, back on topic, hopefully, we don't run into the thing, but with my luck, we probably will...anyway, lastly is Juggernaut, that place doesn't have much, but it'll do one big thing, it has a device named after the planet that can cause anything to turn into anything, like a sword to a person or a plant to a sword, but it's also got some crazy experiments that went down over there, but we're after one, a new body for Fathom, the A.I, when we find a facility with the robot for him, we'll infuse them together, when he's got a body, we go after the last leader from Forbidden Loop, Hephaistos, then come back here" Yami plans out

"And then we go after Troy for the most exciting moment in our lives...I like it" Lexia smiles

"I like these guys, where'd you get them?" Alayna sits on the fan, spinning around

"Not just yet, there's a planet called Elusi, that planet has the secret to killing Ultimas for good, but there's a catch, absolutely nobody knows where it is, or what we're looking for there, but we find it and we'll have a huge advantage over Ultimas" Yami balls her fist

"Do you think Troy can hold out for that long?" Jason asks

"I know he can, he'll keep fighting for as long as he needs to, no matter what" Yami smiles

Alex chuckles a bit

"Why do we need all the leaders of Forbidden Loop?" Mar questions

"So Ultimas can't have them, if Ultimas gets them, he'll ask to become a god, with all their powers combined, he can do that, but from everywhere we go, expect heavy resistance, alright?" Yami asks

"How'd you know that?" Carry asks

"There's no other reason that he'd want them all" Metal explains

"Exactly" Yami nods

"This is a great plan and all, but...how the hell are you getting from planet to planet?" Cipher asks

"This" Yami opens up a portal 

"HOLY SH!T" Cipher yells

"Is everyone ready to go now?" Yami asks

"Yeah...can't wait to see Zeus again" Metal sighs

"Let's head out" Lexia puts a helmet on, her body soon covering in armor

"Good luck guys, have fun, come back safe, okay?" Cipher asks

"Appreciate it" Kyron waves

"LET'S F#CKING GOOOOO-" Flake runs through the portal first

With that, everyone but Cipher follows her, the first step in taking their lives back
