Somewhere in Nevada, Lower Canada...


Nevada, the most chaotic place in the world. In this subworld, it is fight or flight. Yet, in all of this, there are several "heroes" who decide to fight for morally right reasons.

...

We cut to two mercenaries, who almost look identical to each other, jumping rooftop after rooftop. The goal of these two: Find a signal tower where a man has been kidnapped to, and rescue him.
...

They've been at this for almost a week at this point.

As they continue to jump rooftop to rooftop, C4rry's ears prick up.

C4rry: Did you just here something, Lauri?

She asks, jumping on another rooftop with relative ease.

L4urri3, being almost as fast as C4rry, follows close behind her on the rooftops.

L4urri3: No, nothing, C4rry...

She pauses to take a drag of a cigar, before taking it out of her mouth to exhale.

L4urri3: And I've told you to not call me Lauri.

L4urri3: Seriously, we've been cloned and working together for over half a decade now.

C4rry: Yeah... but it's fun seeing you react when I say Lauri! Come on, live a little, Lauri!

C4rry said with a laugh, doing a flip on a small building, almost making it look as if she was flying. L4urri3 rolled her eyes and tried to keep pace with her.

L4urri3: I will shove that cigar of mine down your throat someday, C4rry.

L4urri3 said with a slight smile as she lit another cigar and started smoking again. If there is one thing L4urri3 loves more than being an efficient killer, it is smoking. To L4urri3, smoking is the definition of peace, which C4rry thinks otherwise. Despite being the clones of the same person, M4ry, a Sayori variant who dyed her hair blue and essentially became a mercenary for hire, L4urri3 and C4rry are very different from each other, Pessimism and Optimism as people, if you will. Despite this, L4urri3 really does care about C4rry, though she can be a bit...annoying.

C4rry: Lauri Lauri Lauri Lauri Lauri.

C4rry's smile turned into a mischievous one, she'd slow down her running just so L4urri3 would be a few steps behind her.

C4rry: You'll have to catch me first~

Both are the best at what they do, taking down the (mostly) bad guys by every mean they have. They both got that from their original, M4ry. She was the best in her class, had to be. During her slow transition from Sayori into M4ry, M4ry had to learn how to fight single handedly in the heat of the moment. The skills she learned had been passed on to these two during the cloning process, as had some of her memories. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago. She was living with a guy that someone didn't like and used her as bait for him before blowing her up. All that was left of her was a single arm. They didn't see the incident, but it hurt them to see her go, maybe it hurt them the most out of everyone. It certainly gave L4urri3 a reason to smoke and drink.

L4urri3: Let's just focus on the mission.

C4rry:Sigh Fiinnneee...

C4rry rolled her eyes and started jumping again at an equal pace, and started looking ahead for anything that remotely stood out. Her ears then perked up as she noticed something in the distance.
