Waking up, still in the same place, relaxed, but ouch, my legs are hurting, looking around, where's Oilseed? Where is he? My bombs are still on me. Good. "Hi again." Looking, found him, there he is, getting up, looking forward, begins to run, running very fast, leaving him in the dust.
Hearing footsteps behind me, ugh, he's following me. Running even faster, gotta be fast or else. Finally reaching the building, he comes behind, knocking air out, "Let me go idiot! I'm trying to stop this thing, I'm doing this alone!"
"I won't let you do that!"
"Try me!" Punching his nose lightly, he falls, continued to run away to the direction of the government officials.
Another hour passes by, exhausted, didn't see him following me again, leave him be, he's only a varmint. But another figure, stop. Look. A girl but how? She looks like me? Who is she? Better run faster, run ,run ,run ,run away. This isn't the time to stop now. Reaching the official building, pauses, drinking water, glance up, there she is now, who is she, I'm more curious, standing up, calling after her to come here, she walks forward. She looks like me, a mirror of myself, confused, tilting head at her. "WHO. ARE. YOU?" Looking up at me, she gulps, "I don't have a name...."
"Everyone has a name, don't kid me, come on, you must have a name!"
"I don't...."
"Then why are you here?"
"I feel like we are connecting somehow...."
"I feel you look like me.... why is that?"
Turning her head at me, the confusion is gone. She was my twin sister, but I thought she died... offering my hand, she takes my hand and I start to run with her. Into the building, we all follow into it, with my bombs, Oilseed following my twin sister and me, we trudge inwards, we were the resilience, we were brave, within minutes we all charged into the battle room and activated the bombs, all of them surprised, and scared.
~
The building was destroyed, along with the three champions, they fought their proudest, and they were forever remembered-....
"Excuse me, are you saying we died?!"
Um....yes, why?
"As you can clearly can see, I'm still alive! And my twin sister!"
"Um hi...?"
...... they succeeded their battle?
"And....?!"
They got awarded and stopped the government?
"Better, much better... do you agree sis?"
"Yeah, I agree, much better, I think that ends the journey right?"
"I'd say it is, we have a lot to catch up on, and such, Btw how you seen oilseed?"
"He left...?"
"The coward he is, figures....I guess he can't join our story."
