CHAPTER SEVEN
<< 七 >>

[ NIGHT ONE ]

❝ z e r o ❞

KRRR.
screeeeech.
click, click, click.

the sounds of scraping metal is unnerving. the eight Operations still, and listen to the faraway sounds that seem to get closer and closer. Zero holds her breath, gulping as the anticipate. they cannot run, not when the it, whatever it is, is too close for comfort.

click. click. click.
screeeeeeeeeeeech.

the sound is loud now. she realizes that it is close. she tenses up, waiting.

krahhhhh

a giant scorpion appears from the right. the metal of its body glimmers in the moonlight, while its menacing barbed tail is swaying slightly, almost as if it was playing. if there had been no glimmer of metal, she would have missed it in the dark, dark night. Zero's breath hitches. it opens its wide jaw, showing off the clockwork-like grinding inside, and roared. its breath stunk to hell, and the wind almost blew her off her feet. it came charging right at them, screaming in fury, even though they had done nothing. "tame it, Zero! tame it!" One screams at her.

but before she can reach a hand out to unleash any sort of spell or even utter a word of it, Four jumps forward, lighting his hands on fire. sweet, raging, golden flames dance on his hands, but not even a scar decorates the delicate skin. "it won't help us that way!" he shouts, but she disagrees. strongly.

if she could tame them - if - then they would have the scorpions on their side. would it not be easier for them to overcome the other obstacles?

"Four, no-"

he melts a scorpion, and turns his furious eyes to scan the surroundings. now it is too quiet. Five's words echoed my thoughts: "that was too easy." they knew that in the L.I.E. Games, the control never underestimated their own Operations. the day they did would be the day Six had energy to run and exercise.

screeeeeeeeeeeech.

krr.

karrrhhhhhhh.

(a/n: the onomatopoeia i'm using is seriously getting out of hand)

Zero holds her breath, her heart pumping too loud, too fast in her rib-cage. "bring it," Four grits his teeth, the longing to kill those monsters raging with ferocity.

scorpion after scorpion floods us, and one by one they are felled by Four. they try to get him to stop, but all the boy did was brush them off or burn them away. Zero was helpless - a feeling she didn't like.

and the battle raged on.

until all the scorpions were dead-
