"Why the FUCK are we going to Los Santos!?!" Agent cried out.
Kmzoe just stood in front of the TV, arms crossed, looking over the distraught group.
"Because no one else knows where Ray was taken and I doubt Browntown can last much longer."
The downtown area where the friends lived wasn't in utter chaos, but the same couldn't be said about the rest of the city.
"Why not just let the mods handle it?" squeaked Martika.
"Didn't you hear what the news said? Scooter Patrol is down. Hell, we have one right in front of us!" Notray said, frustrated.
"Thank you-"
"That doesn't mean I agree with you, Zoe! You're insane! If the stories about the AH Crew are true, we're fucked and Ray is as good as dead."
The rest of the room looked wounded by Notray's words. He put his head in his hands, defeated.
Agent decided to give his input.
"Why can't we just move? Browntown is gonna be ashes tomorrow from the looks of things. I hear Burger Town is nice-"
"NO! Don't you guys remember why we're here?! I mean, we all have our personal reasons, sure, but the main reason was to support Ray!"
"And look where that got us!" Misaka shouted. "Ray is gone. The city is about to crumble. And look at Gutesey! We can't just leave him here!"
The whole room started into multiple conversations, mostly about how shitty things had gotten.
Kmzoe was tired, hungry, depressed, but most importantly, pissed off. Pissed that someone had the audacity to take their Lord Ray. Pissed that no one seemed to listen to her. Pissed that she was about to be kicked out of her home without a chance to fight. Pissed that no one else cared. Most of all, pissed that her friends were abandoning her because they thought this was too dangerous.
Kmzoe would go to Hell and back for her friends, whether she had met them last week or last century. It was just how she was because of her lack of friends back when she was in school. And now, they were writing her off as being crazy for wanting to save the thing that brought them together. Fuck that.
"Everybody SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Kmzoe glared at all faces in the room, most stopped mid-sentence. Fresh tears welled up in a few eyes.
"I am fucking pissed right now so no one talk until I'm done or I will rip your goddamned head off," she eyed a few choice people in the room. "I don't give a shit about whether this is dangerous or not because I really don't care about my safety."
"Pfft, if it's dangerous-"
"Notray, I will murder you. As I was saying, I'm not forcing anyone to go with me. I just want....I need Ray back." She paused a moment to take in everyone's expressions. "I'll go alone if I have to, but there is no way I'm going to sit here and do nothing."
"You're not going by yourself!" Misaka stood up and put her hand on Kmzoe's shoulder. "We are gonna restrain you so can't go at all."
"Wait! She's right. We can't just let Ray be taken!" Martika jumped up and ran over to Kmzoe.
Tardis sighed and joined her, giving a look to Misaka until she let go of the other girl's shoulder.
"I guess if we're all gonna hop on the bandwagon,"Notray said, nonchalantly.
Skyress and Gh0st were right behind him.
"Fuck it," Misaka said, smiling proudly.
"No."
Everyone turned to Chloro.
"I'm not going. I....I don't want to!" She started tearing up, Vidy running to hug her.
"I guess I'll stay with them," Mrprawes nodded at Kmzoe, Atarian also volunteering by stepping over to Chloro.
Agent walked up in front of Kmzoe, stiff and serious.
"There's no way....I'd ever let my battle buddy fight someone without me being there." He broke out into a huge grin.
Kmzoe smiled, mumbling about there being a dramatic pause.
"Alright, fuckers. Get to the vehicles. We have a crew to beat the crap out of and a Ray to save."
