ROGUE: PLASMA

5. Encounter

"I'm bored!" Says Axel in a monotonous tone.

Laying flat on the floor with nothing to do only to stare at the ceiling. The others would just do their things, Hendrick is smoking cigars on the couch with his feet on the table, Shautaura who only read novels the whole day and pinching her nose because of the smell of Hendrick's cigar.

Anastasia was just writing stuffs on her journal and that includes stargaizing even sitting and doing nothing and Chain who is new to the organization is sitting beside Shautaura and secretly reading the novel that is Shautaura currently reading.

"Hey Chain!, how about we go shopping?" Axel suggests.

Chain, without hesitation quickly nods. "Yeah let's go!, ehh.. how about the others?"

"Hm you're right" Axel turns to Hendrick and asked him"hey hendrick-"

"No"

"Hmph bummer, how bout you Shautauraa?"

"Don't talk to me" Says Shautaura as she proceeds reading her novel.

He then turns to Anastasia. "Big sis you love shopping right?" He pleads to Anastasia with puppy eyes.

"I would love to dear but I'm a little busy right now, sorry" Anastasia just declined with a warm smile.

Axel then stood up and stretched his body. "Then it's just the two of us"

"I don't see any problem about that as long as we enjoy the mall then that's what matters" Before Chain was about to stand up he suddenly realize that. "Oh right, I don't have any cash on me"

Axel shudders about Chain's statement. "I got you" Axel pulled out his wallet filled with money.

Chain's eyes started sparkling at the view of thousands of dollars inside Axel's wallet.

"SWEET!"

Hendrick grabbed Axel by the hair, gritting his teeth and veins started popping out of his hand.

"Remember to pay your debts, there are three of us here"

Axel took a big gulp and realize that he actually owed a large amount to all three of them.

Shautaura went towards Axel with an evil grin, cracking her fingers loudly. "Pay up"

Later at the mall.

Axel was sobbing as he look at his money that was filling the wallet and now became half and Chain didn't think of it that much.

"That's fine as long as we have fun at the arcade then it's all good, we don't need that much money to kill our boredom you know?"

Axel looks at him and smiled as he put his wallet inside his pocket.

"Maybe you're right, we don't need that much money"

"Hey how about the arcade!" Chain suggested with a excitement sound in his voice.

Axel just shrugged it off and agreed.

Chain and Axle strolled into the mall, their laughter echoing off the walls. "Arcade time, bro!" Chain exclaimed, eager to dive into the games.

Axle grinned, nodding in agreement. "Come on!"

The arcade is everyone's sanctuary, a place where they could let loose and forget about the world. They battled fiercely, their competitive spirits driving them to new heights.

After hours of intense gaming, hunger gnawed at their bellies. "I'm starving," Axle groaned, rubbing his stomach.

"Me too," Chain admitted, feeling the familiar rumble in his gut. "Let's grab a bite."
