"I told you, I'm not a villai—"

Diana covered her ears with her hands. "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!" she shouted, overlapping Atalanta's words. "I know you can control me with your voice and I'm not taking chances!"

Shizuko rolled her eyes so much they might have heard her doing it. As Atalanta pursed her bottom lip and wandered her cell, Shizuko was lying down and kicking her feet up in the air. Call her delusional, call her crazy – she does what the hell she wants. Try to tell her what to do and you'd end up with a fate worse than death.

Diana was their guard. Since they were the ones causing the fight, they were located in two isolated cells from the others. The only thing that separated them from the outside world was the barrier that electrocuted them whenever they come in contact with it.

Atalanta couldn't have been more down in her life. She was supposed to retrieve KristaBot, which was in the possession of APSHU, but ended up becoming a prisoner of APSHU instead. If someone is pulling her strings of fate, she'll be happy to kick her in the face.

Once again, Shizuko knows she's crazy. She purposely touched the barrier just so she can electrify herself. In fact, she's been doing it so much that Diana had to disrupt the electricity-security on hers. So now it's a regular barrier.

"You fucking scared that I'll kill myself? How thoughtful of you!" Shizuko spat. "Let me live my life, y'all hoes! BEGONE, THOT!"

Atalanta ran her hand down her face as she stared at Shizuko. This girl was crazier that she'd given her credit for.

Diana was sitting by a control panel, playing video games as she occasionally poked her head out to check on their movements. If they so much as do a belly flop, she would snap her head in their direction like a startled chicken's. If not, a hyper chihuahua. It could be considered as cute but it's weird at the same time.

Shizuko grinned like she'd seen someone kill himself. Stretching her arms upwards, she fell back to the ground. But before her back hit the floor, her arms were thrust outwards as her entire body crashed into the ventilation like a dart.

Atalanta's eye twitched.

Diana spluttered. "How is that even fucking possible?" She turned on the microphone. "Alert! Alert! Inmate #IS23 has breached security!"

A female voice reached through. "What did the inmate use?"

"She dropkicked herself backwards into the ventilation systems!"

"What the actual—" The background sounded like laughter and snorts. It was soon drowned out by screams and alarms. "There's another breach in the main office! Stay guard, Diana!"

"Roger!"

That was how Atalanta started to question her very own existence.

"SHOOOOOOT THEEEM DOOOOOOOWN!" Sky, a girl with light blue hair and green eyes shot the panicking guards with a stun gun like she was initiating a massacre similar to Order 66, if not with a dash of craziness.

Ainya whacked her upside the head. She said nothing, but she was sure looking like Sky wouldn't make her seem dignified. She held her stun gun by her shoulder, glaring at any guard that dare make a movement towards them. If she can't have powers like Sky, she might as well look cool to cover it up.

They're a funny team, to be frank. They were summoned to a rescue mission at the very last minute from TAPOPS. Before this, Sky was creating cloud dummies to play with children on Earth, and Ainya was playing basketball. They had to rescue Atalanta, one of their recruits. God forbid they would have to go against someone that could take down Atalanta.
