Oh what a Catastrophe she left Behind

Look Alive, Sunshine

"How'd they find us?" I yell at my sister, Violent Vixen, while she drives and I shoot at the draculoids in the passenger seat. If you don't know already, draculoids(dracs for short) are brainwashed soldiers created by Better Living Industries(BL/Ind) to snuff out any color left in Battery City; AKA, us.
"How should I know! You're the one who said take this route, the dracs don't survey this part of the desert. Everyone listen to Glitter Grenade! She always knows what's fucking best!"
"Sorry that I directed us into a trap!"I say sarcastically back. I manage to strike a few on motorcycles, but there were still at least half a dozen chasing in cars."Shit, do you have anymore batteries?"
"There should be some in the back." I crawl into the back of the car and dig through loot we collect on the way.
"I can't find any!"
"Here, take my gun, but I don't know how much juice it's got left." I take her blaster, which is painted silver with dark crimson stripes, and toss my silver glitter, purple striped one in the back. I manage to hit 3 of the cars tires and send them spiraling out of control, but after that, the gun was pretty useless.
"We're completely out." I say throwing her gun over my shoulder onto the back seat.
"Well, guess we're gonna have to go with plan B."
"Plan Blow 'em up?"
"You gotta better idea?"
"Nope."I reach into the glove compartment and pull out three grenades, all painted purple and sparkling."Was hoping to use these on a more special occasion, but jurassic times call for jurassic measures." I say as I twist the pin off and throw it out the window. In the rear view mirror, I see one of their cars go up in flames along with a cloud of sand and glitter.
"That's awesome!"Vixen shouted.
"They don't call me Glitter Grenade for nothing."When I look back, the last two cars are further behind. I uncoil the pin and let loose when and their car goes up in a cloud of glitter just like the last."Where's the last one?"
I barely have enough time to sit back correctly in my seat before Vixen was slamming on the breaks."Does that answer your question?" We were head on to the dracs.
I raise my hand to pull the pin, but felt a cold hand grab my wrist, and I turned my head to see a drac as he was pulling me out of the window. I did whatever I could to be free of his grip, kicking my legs, trying to twist by body to get away, but three more come to his aid and they all hold me down."Vixen! RUN!"I yell. There could only have been four left in that car, and they're all with me."GET OUT OF HERE!" I can't see it, but i hear the skidding of tires and the squeal of the engine. I didn't care what happened to me, so long as she was okay, but I wasn't ready to die just yet.
One of the Drac's head's was over mine and I headbut him with all I've got. He stumbled back and I had my hand free. I grabbed the blaster that was on the Drac's side and shot at the rest of them. Even though it was close range, I'm an awful shot and managed to only hit two of them in the side. I stumbled to my feet and shot one more in the shoulder. The last one though was ready, gun aimed and poised to shoot. I raised my hands in surrender."Drop the weapon, and get on your knees. Now!" Slowly, I set down the blaster and knelt down."Any last words?" He said with a growl.
"Parlay?" I flinched as Violent Vixen hit him with the can and skid to a stop.
"What? Did you not think I was coming back?"I probably had a surprised look on my face to make her say that.
"I had it under control."
"By the looks of it, you were about to be executed and you call that under control?"
"I had a plan."
"Did your plan involve dying?"
"Well, not exactly."
"Lets just head back home, alright?"
"And where's that exactly? If you haven't noticed, we live out of our car."
"I have a friend who owes me. We can crash there for tonight. It's better than running into more dracs."
"Whatever."

"Welcome ladies, to casa de Ultra Vs."Violent Vixen parked the car in front of what looked like an old, worn down gas station. We were greeted by a man with white colored hair, and behind him, a group of other guys."Vixen! You're back, didn't think you'd come back after last time. Again, I'm so sorry about the bike thing."
"Just don't bring it up, and I won't hold you against it."She said."Anyways, I don't believe you two have met. Glitter Grenade, Val Velocity, Val Velocity, Glitter Grenade, my sister."
"Yeah, I can see the resemblance. So you older, younger?"
"Twins actually."
"Wow, crazy man!"
"Ya so, cool. Anyways, can we crash here for the night?"She shut him down quickly.
"Of course sugar, but what's in it for me?"
"Forgiveness for the bike."
"I thought that was behind us?"
"Yeah, well I changed my mind."
"Oh come on. Hey, we're going on a raid tomorrow, we already have it in the bag, but we could use someone with your expertise. If you come with us, you get 20%"
"How's that fair?"
"30?"
"Fine, only if it'll get you to shut up."
"Great. We're all set then. We leave at midnight."
"What! It's 10 right now!"
"Then i guess if you want sleep, you better hop to it."
I follow a now very angry Vixen into a room with sleeping bags and hammocks."Hey Vix, is it cool if I don't go with you guys? I'm good with just one near death experience for today."
"Yeah, no problem. I'm just doing it so we don't need to spend the night in the car tonight. Who knows how many dracs are out there tonight."
"I guess." Why are they so active tonight anyways? I thought.
"I'm going to get some sleep now, have to be awake in two hours anyway."
"Okie-dokie. See ya in the morning for Dr. Death Defying's broadcast."
"You got it."

The radio in the room grew noisier with the sound of static. The static turned into a voice as the digital clock turned to seven. I opened my eyes as daylight poured in through the skylight.

Look alive, sunshine. 109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit. You're here with me, Dr. Death Defying.

I looked around the room to see if Violent Viven was asleep somewhere, and looked back at the radio when she wasn't.

Early this morning, and late last night, The Ultra Vs attempted a raid at a secondary BL/Ind base. Sadilly they failed, and a member was ghosted.

My stomach was twisting in knots. As he said the next lines, Val walked in with a glittering mask in hand. I'd know it anywhere.

We will all remember our sister Violent Vixen, she fought bravely for our colors. We will remember you.

"GG, I...I-I'm so... sorry." My chest felt like it was caving in on itself, my head, like it was going to implode, but I couldn't cry. I couldn't believe it at first, I didn't want to. She was all that I had left in this world. Val walked slowly towards me, his arms outstretched to hug me. I didn't push him away, but i didn't hug him back. My head was going nuts. I blamed him for taking her with him, I blamed myself for not going, I blamed BL/Ind for killing her. I didn't even realize I had started crying till my entire face was wet. I looked up and Val was crying too as he hugged me. He placed her mask in my hands, silver glitter that only covered her eyes, so simple yet so beautiful, now there was a hole on the outer edge, scorched and stained with blood... her blood...
Before I knew it, I was running. I ran out of the gas station, past the Ultra Vs who tried to stop me, I kept running until my legs couldn't carry me anymore. I fell to my knees and bent over, holding her mask to my chest. For a minute, I sat there and cried, just until I felt something press against my head."Kill me."I mumbled."KILL ME! Please..." I sobbed as heard the blaster go off. The Drac fell over dead and behind me I heard more shots being fired. There was a skid like a car coming to a stop, and more blasts, and then someone was running towards me. For some reason I was scared, even though just moments ago I was a begging to be dead. I took in a sharp breath of hair when a had grabbed my shoulder and turned me around.
There wasn't a draculoid like I thought, but a man with bright red hair, and a yellow mask."Hey are you okay?" He asked.
"Why-why did you do that?"
"What, save your life? Or ghost the dracs, 'cause they kinda answer each other. And what were you doing in the middle of the desert with no weapon anyway?"
"I-I-I don't know, I was just... running."
"Okay. I'm Party Poison, this is Fun Ghoul, Jet-Star, and Kobra Kid. What's your name?"
"My name's-"
"Violent Vixen? But I thought you were dead, Dr.D just said it on the radio."Kobra Kid piped up.
"No-that's my sister, we're twins. My name's Glitter Grenade."
"Oh shit, I'm sorry, I didn't know." Kobra said sheepishly.
"No, it's fine, it happens all the time."
"Can we give you a ride somewhere?" Party asked.
"No, I just, I wanna be alone."
"You see where that gotcha. C'mon, we'll take you back to our place."
"I don't want anyone's help right now! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! Okay?"The way I raised my voice made all for of them step back as if I were a time bomb about to explode.
"Alright. Just take this okay? I don't want to see another killjoy fall."Party Poison handed me his blaster. It was yellow with black stripes along the barrel and a red stripe down the middle.
I didn't say anything after that, just nodded my head. I couldn't say thank you. I turned and walked away from them.
"Dude, you're just going to let her wonder off like that?"
"There's nothing we can do for her if she doesn't want help."
"Bullshit."
"Kid! You of all people should know how she feels, losing a sibling."
"Yeah but, G-"
"Mikey..."

I walked out of hearing distance.
