Chaos In a Nutshell: Fresh-ish Start

89. But it's the truth

"Where'd you hear that from?" Hex wonders

"You wouldn't believe me, but we need to get everybody in Bargain the hell out of here, especially the gods" Yami adds

"I'd believe you" Matteo argues

"None of you would" Yami sighs

"You've helped us all so much, how could we not?" Lane retorts

"Fine, Cipher told me he's putting all his chips in me, so is Ultimas-or something like that" Yami explains

"CIPHER?" Hex shouts

"HE'S STILL ALIVE?" Matteo sounds overjoyed

"Yeah...still kicking" Yami grins

"Alright...good, good to know, was there anything else to say before we begin evacuation?" Matteo wonders

"Yeah...but we'll talk about it later" Yami shakes her hand

"Alright, thank you for informing me-but where is Elusi?" Matteo wonders

"...I'm working on that, I keep everybody updated" Yami nods

"Spoken like a true commander, Tsuki" Lane chuckles

"Yeah, yeah, Troy's rubbing off on me too much" Yami rolls her eyes, walking back to the little hut thing b-to hell with it, you know what I'm talking about

"Oh, wow, look at the traitor" Alex opens the door for her

"I'm so over your a$$, so tune me out entirely" Yami faces the rest of the group

"What's up?" Metal crosses his legs beside Lite

"Basically Bargain's gonna get attacked and we need to get to Elusi, it exists and Ultimas found it, we have to look for someone named Miami on top of that" Yami explains

"Oh, I wonder who could've told you that" Alex chuckles

"How'd you find that out?" Alayna wonders

"Cipher told me" Yami answers

"How do you know?" Flake questions

"...Cipher told me" Yami hesitantly repeats, knowing nobody's gonna believe her

"I believe you" Metal nods

"Yeah, me too!" Destiny beams

"CIPHER-" Alex starts wheezing

"He's-dead" Kyron reminds

"Yeah, whoever wants to come with me, great, Dez, you're definitely coming, okay? Fathom hacked into the ship networks anyway, so we've got a whole squadron" Yami adds

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CONFIDENTLY FULL OF SH!T? I mean, c'mon, Cipher's alive? This whole thing is one big trap, simple, besides, Rich already said it didn't exist" Alex rolls his eyes

"So, whoever wants to come with me, cool, if you don't, good luck...or bad luck in someone's case" Yami eyes Alex

"Nah, nobody's going with you, I'm making sure of that, you're so full of sh!t" Alex scoffs

"Fine, Flake, Dez, Metal, Lite, and whoever else wants to come, then c'mon" Yami opens the door back up

"Ok-" Destiny starts to move to Yami

"NOBODY'S GOING" Alex yells

Destiny bounces to the ground in terror

"You-you can leave for all I care, it'll be better that way, everybody else is staying here with me, we don't even know where Elusi is or would be, Rich even said it didn't exist and he staked his whole life on it" Alex shoves Yami
