Chapter Text
☣︎Uzi☣︎
"We are Worker Humans, the lowest of the human species, exploited to mine exoplanets for our company, JCJenson IN SPAAAAACEE!!! Yeah, we were mistreated in the name of copper, but it's not like we revolted and killed the rich or anything, mostly because they handled that all fine by themselves...
With the rich ones wiped out from the planet, we found it pretty easy to pick up where they left off. We finally had a future, all for ourselves!...
Unfortunately... The company didn't really enjoy the idea of runaway humans...
They sent some genetically modified humans on our tail, hunting EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!
But what have our parents done for the past forever while those things build a spire of corpses?! Hide underground behind three stupid doors?! It's like we're waiting for an inciting incident!
Anyway, that's why my project is THIS COOL-AS-FUCK RAILGUN!!!" I yelled, pointing my gun at the class. They all gasped surprised at my attitude. "Easy idiots... It doesn't work... YET! It doesn't work yet! Who said it doesn't work, maybe it does!" I laughed, turning on my gun. The class looked even more worried at it while I laughed at their stupid reaction.
"Uzi, the homework was a word problem about buying watermelons." Mr Brown told me.
"Oh, and this magnetically amplified photon converter doesn't count?" I said, rolling my eyes.
"Uhm... No actually. Plus, repressed emotional baggage is only worth 2 points off the rubric." He told me, bored. I groaned. "Anyway, is it supposed to be that color?" He asked me, pointing at my railgun. I looked at it, expecting it to be green. It was in fact not green.
"OH SHI-"
BOOM
/^ᐠ . .ᐟ\ฅ ☣︎
"Ughhh!!!" I groaned while packing my bag. I was holding an ice pack against my right eye. I kinda blew my skin off in that explosion... On both my face and my hands. Aaaand on my shoulder and a bit of my torso... And skin wasn't the only thing I blew off. Any sound was hard to understand and my vision was as blurry as it could be. Ughhhhh...
"Ew! It didn't kill her! I am sooo bad!" I heard Lizzy chuckling to Doll.
Apparently she wants half her face gone too...
I rolled over my eyes as I put my backpack on my right shoulder. The nurse said I should go home to rest, since this was what she called a "traumatic" event.
Thad approached me, giving me a friendly punch on my back. Does he want to start a damn fight or something?
"Oh, damn, Uzi... I hope you get better after this accident-" He told me.
"I'm an angsty teen Thad, fucking BITE ME!" I yelled at him. "Anyway, what the fuck do you want? People want to talk with you, why ruin that?"
"Well... I would say that the most troublesome, yet smartest kid in the whole school is Khan Doorman's own daughter but... You might want to blow the other half of your face off." He said, pointing at the bunch of posters he has on the wall.
Khan definitely has something with me. I'm not his favorite kid. AND I'M AN ONLY CHILD. He never helped when I needed him and he only interferes when I fuck up. To fix the problem. And make me wanna die.
"Ha, crippling daddy issues, so funny. What do you want from me?" I asked him. "Nobody talks to me without having a request. And those requests aren't usually nice."
I picked on fights whenever I saw the chance. I got expelled twice, but they had to let me back considering that this was the only school in the whole outpost... And maybe getting home schooled wasn't the best idea, considering how Khan treated me... I'd rather die. He didn't deserve to be called "dad" ever once in his life. He's not a father in my eyes, mom is GONE because of him!
"Oh, nothing! I was just curious about that... Uhhh..." He tried to tell me, pointing awkwardly at my gun.
"This cool-as-fuck railgun? Sci-fi bullshit that SUPER WORKS!" I explained sarcastically. "I'm going to the glavex layer tonight to get the last spare part I need, so I can save the world and stuff." I added, getting ready to head home.
"But doesn't your dad build awesome doors so... We don't have to do all that stuff you just said? Didn't Nori die because of that?" He tried convincing me.
"I'm doing this to avenge her you motherfucker! Bite me!" I yelled at him one last time, leaving the room without saying any goodbyes.
/^ᐠ . .ᐟ\ฅ ☣︎
Beep Beep Beep
I turned off the phone alarm.
It's 3am. And it's time to build a fucking railgun!
I was putting on some warmer clothes, knowing that the outside is cold. It was winter... And damn does that mean I was fucked. I had no cold weather jacket and outside was SNOWING. At least I had my boots... I also put in my pockets several knives, only in case anything happened. I lastly take my railgun, like... wasn't it the reason I was going out?
I then went to dad's room to take the key card. Of course, my next step was going into the ventilation system.
I knew it like I knew my own name. I've been on too many trips around the outpost to get Doll food and stuff... Or go to the fight club. Mostly to go to the fight club. Only to go to the fight club.
/^ᐠ . .ᐟ\ฅ ☣︎
I went down from the system two hallways before Door 3, but after I walked to the entrance and scanned the key I stumbled upon... Him. Aw fuck!
"And where might you be off to?" Khan asked me.
"To uhh... Go make out with my secret boyfriend that I definitely have..?" I said in an attempt to lie. That was stupid. I usually did better than this. He didn't look convinced, but he laughed... "I could have a chance-"
"No, what are you actually doing here?" All my chances were gone.
"Uhh... I have to go out and uhh... examine the exterior mechanism of Door 1! Because uhh... that's the school project I'm working on! For school!" I said, awkwardly.
"I haven't seen you try to do something good for a school project even once." He explained. Unfortunately for me, he had a point.
"Ughhh alright, you caught me. I wanna join the WDF and... play cards all day and hide behind doors like the cowards you are and stuff..." I mumbled, not finding any better lie. The truth was faaaar from everything I said. I was the leader of a fight club and rebel "army" (though army is much said...) What did he think I was doing in my free time? Reading?
"...join the WDF- You want to build doors like me? So you finally turned to the family business! Maybe you aren't useless after all!" He told me, hitting me on my back.
I was trying so fucking hard to not shove my fist into his face. I knew what was gonna happen if I did that.
"But for that you'll need help! Here, take the wrench I used to tighten the bolts on my first door prototype - and to put your mother out of her misery when the vampire got to her with its poisonous claws." He said, handing me his wrench.
"But mom died protecting your sorry ass! It was YOUR job as the outpost leader, or at least as the father of her child, to protect her." I wanted to tell him. Unfortunately, I didn't actually say that, because I didn't want to risk it and regret loosing door privileges again. Ughhhh I'd tell him so much more...
He then guided me through the next doors, opening Door 1 and letting me out. I saw the rest of the members playing cards. Unsurprisingly.
He closed the door behind me and I got a bad feeling from that. Not like Khan could be trusted in any way anyway. He let Nori and Yeva die. Good thing I brought my own key card!
The wind was howling through the ruins of the former rich civilization. Most buildings fell down to the corrosion, yet there were several who stood up to the test of time and to the explosion. The cars were stopped on the side of the roads and the snow was as thick as it could be.
I was surprisingly... Not freezing. The temperature was supportable. Somehow. I looked on my phone to check what temperature was outside the outpost. Apparently it was -1°C degrees. Outside it was a heavy snowstorm too. That was interesting.
I just needed to go to the landing pod. Everything I saw or heard about it let me know there were a bunch of fallen pieces.
The problem was that it was inside a corpse spire. The biggest one, actually. Their fucking nest. I just had to pray that they were out hunting, otherwise I was dead!
But the way to the corpse spire... It was a 10 minute long trip. If I ran. And I was NOT running in that shit, the ground was like 20 cm of snow over 5 cm of ice. At least I was light enough to step on the snow and not go very deep in it!... I'd be sooooooo fuuuuucked if I was caught by the glavexes
I was slowly walking, looking around me. Everything was... Dark. And cloudy. And it was snowing. I haven't seen stars in so long...
Even though my first name was Uzi, my mom always called me by my middle name - Akari. She told me she came from a country on Earth called Japan to work on Copper 9. She also told me that my name meant 'moon.'.. She told me that she named me by looking at the night sky. That happened so long ago... I could barely remember her face.
I could still remember her violet eyes, whose looks could kill you, but they could also make you glow. I could still remember her sweet smile, different from any other smile I've seen. I could still remember her hugs, oh those hugs! I could still remember her silly accent she would make when she wasn't careful. I could remember her teaching me Japanese, I could remember playing the piano with me...
Her name was Nori. She explained to me that it meant 'rule'.
Oh those starry skies we'd watch together...
I just hoped to see her again.
CRACK
"AGH-" I yelled, looking down at my feet.
... I stepped on a skeleton. A skull, more exactly. I accidentally shattered it... Whose body could this have been? Worse... Will I end up like this? Well if I keep slaking off and walking carelessly I will! I have to concentrate.
I was in front of the spire.
I saw an opening, so I looked inside.
It was where the landing pod was placed. It's exactly how the pictures show it... It was broken, and there were a bunch of pieces around. I also didn't see any glavexes. I guess it was my lucky day!
I was walking around, seeing a bunch of human limbs mixed with the pieces. Kinda gross if you asked me.
Oh, there it was!
A small, tubular piece. More exactly a light diffuser. And so much more. It helped convert the energy into light in a more regular way and it avoided explosions, like the one that I made in my class.
I placed it on my railgun, and got ready to head back to the outpost. It wasn't that bad-
Whooosh
"Fuck."
I hide behind a pile of bodies and picked up a pair of sunglasses, watching the glavex's reflection into it.
... They were two.
IT'S TWO OF THEM-
The first one was very catlike, with a long fluffy tail and shoulder length hair. It was pretty wavy. The other one was more wolflike, with a shorter tail and straight hair.
They were scavenging around the pod, letting their black and gold wings disappear like a hologram. Their faces were covered by a big glowing X visor and five simple eyes were floating above their heads. I could see that they had some silky blonde hair and that their skin is covered by a layer of fur. They were surprisingly tall, the shorter one being around 1.80 meters.
"Yo, which one do you think was easier to catch?" I heard the more feminine one asking.
"I don't know Vi, what do you think?" The taller one responded.
"I think whatever purple one is hiding in OUR SPOT is going to be our easiest prey today!" The first one added.
Haha what purple one-
Oh. Oh fuck.
I started running. There was no snow inside here but when I if I went out... I'd be fucked...
When I almost saw myself out, the one called Vi ran at me and scratched my wrist with her claws, almost getting the gun. She didn't get it, but I dropped it... Fuck fuck fuck FUCK!
I was leaning against a piece of wall, surrounded by the two creatures, when I realized...
WAIT, I HAVE KNIVES!
Swish
The first one cut Vi's ear. The creatures were surprised, and I got enough time to pick my weapon.
OH I'M READY TO CAUSE SOME MAYHEM!!
"BITE ME!"
BOOM
... The first one fell to the ground with a loud thud. And with half of the body gone. The second one was missing an arm.
"Eh, weak enough!" I yelled, jumping at it with my other knives.
"Haha, ouch! Stop, it tickles!" It laughed. WHAT DOES IT MEAN 'IT TICKLES!?!?
It picked me off it and sat me down. The audacity!
"Nuh uh, no fighty wighty! I don't wanna kill you, yet. Me and my sister ate today already! But you did not have to bust in our home like this!" It scolded me.
HE FUCKING SCOLDED ME. THE FUCKING AUDACITY!
"Well, if you never do it again, you're free to go!" He said, smiling.
"What the..." I mumbled.
"OH BISCUITS, I FORGOT TO SAY MY NAME!!" It panicked.
Wow, this one is REALLY stupid. I could take advantage of it though.
"I'm code name N-0X0010010! But everyone calls me Nash. I'm kinda the leader of the squad in this city..."
Okay so if he's the leader, that means that the rest are pure shit, right?
"...That's not true actually, everyone says I'm useless and terrible... I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU THAT PART!"
Okay this makes sense.
"Okay..? And who's... That one?" I asked him, pointing at the body laying on the snow.
"Oh, that's Vixen, my twin! She's a very great hunter." He told me, smiling.
"Aren't you mad that I like... Killed her?" I questioned him, giving him a confused look.
"Don't worry, she's gonna regenerate in no time!" He responded.
Re... REGENERATE!?!?
"I'm sure she'd love to meet you!"
NO SHE WON'T OMFG-
I took several steps back and prepared some knives.
"What's your name by the way?" He asked me.
"... Uzi. Uzi Doorman. I'm going back now." I said concerned, while I got ready to head back to the outpost.
"Fuck..." I mumbled through my teeth. Now that the adrenaline was gone, I could feel very well the mark those claws left on my hand. Upon a closer inspection, I noticed that my skin (though "skin" is too much to call whatever thing is protecting my hands now) was sizzling.
"What happened?" Nash asked me.
"Just your bitchass sister's claws, you know?" I mumbled sarcastically. I took several other steps until I had to stop because of the pain. "Agh!-"
"Hey, I can help!" He said, coming towards me.
"Uhm... How the fuck you can help?" I mumbled.
/^ᐠ . .ᐟ\ฅ ☣︎
"EW GROSS-" I yelled after he handed me a little flask with his fucking SPIT.
"Look, our saliva neutralizes the poison. It's hard for us to not scratch or stab ourselves by accident! Do you want to get the pain away or not?"
"Yeah..." I mumbled, incredibly annoyed.
I took off the glove from my right arm, and then took off the bandages that have been covering the explosion wound. I then poured the contents of the flask on the scars Vixen gave me.
Surprisingly, the scars disappeared, and some white skin was now covering the places where her claws touched me. It was kinda weird seeing white in the place where some dark, driftwood toned skin was.
"What happened to your arms?" Nash asked me while I was wrapping back the bandages on my arm.
"Gun explosion. Shit went down bad." I responded, hurrying to get out of the landing pod.
"How did that happen?" He put another question.
"School project." I told him, getting suspicious of his questions.
"Wait you're in school?" He looked at me very curiously.
"Yes??? I'm 17, though I'll soon be 18. Officially old enough to fuck off from home. Wait, how old are you guys?" I asked him back, changing the theme so he doesn't ask me about my "running away" matters. Why did I even mention that?
"Oh, 20! And Jade is 24, she's our older sister. Why do you wanna go away from your home?" Fuck. Exactly the thing I wanted to avoid answering.
"Personal problems. Did you mention another sister?" I changed the subject to talk about the more important side.
"Oh yeah, me, Vixen and Jade are the squad responsible for the region around your Outpost! We're a pretty elite team, you should meet Jade too!"
"... Keep talking, how are they like?" I asked him.
"Oh, they're great! First we got Vixen, my twin sister. She's really into killing, but if I talk to her she always listens to me! Then we got Jade, our older sister. She always says I'm useless and terrible, but I think she's great! She's also our leader, so I kinda have to listen to her..." He explained.
"That's... fucked up!? Why don't you stand up to her?"
"Oh well... Uhh.. Wait, I think Vi got up now. We should go and see her-" He tried to say, changing the subject.
"NO." I am not going to deal with her AGAIN. "The gun is still reloading..." I mumbled in response. I get that he doesn't want to talk about it so I don't insist on it.
"Oh, okay... You should come around here more often, you seem like a lot of fun!" He told me.
"Yeah yeah, I'll come when I can." I lied. I was not fun, and I was never ever coming here again.
"Anyway, this is our landing pod, if you look here, we have some buttons!" He started pressing random buttons on the...
"Is this a control board- THIS IS A FUCKING SPACESHIP!" I yelled, surprised. "This could get us OFF the planet! If I repair it I could-" I ramble, thinking about every single thing I could do to the rich bastards on Earth.
"NASH WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO!?!?" I heard Vixen scream.
"Oh, she woke up! Let's go and greet her-" Nash said.
"No. Convince her I'm no problem and to not kill me first, and then we'll talk." I explained to him.
"Okay! I love doing anything!" He responded, then he went out of the ship.
I went to the window to watch the discussion go on. They were too far to understand what they're saying, and the explosion deafening my right ear was no help either. Ugh, I hate that my gun did that!!!
I quickly noticed that they started arguing. Then Vixen seemed to have given up and was heading towards the ship behind Nash.
"Uzi! Come out!" He told me, very excited. His tail was wagging
I looked at my gun. It was loaded now. If anything were to happen, I could blow them both and then I could start running. Seemed like a good plan.
I slowly got out of the crashed spaceship and I finally saw Vixen not in attack mode for the first time.
Her claws were still out, ready to deter any blow, and her swords were easy to draw from the back sheets. Even though she was not in an attacking stance, she was not relaxed either. She was fixing her gaze on me, watching out for any sudden movement.
"So you're... The one who shot me. Uzi." She mumbled, annoyed. "I'm disappointed. I thought that the first one to actually lay a hit on me would be stronger and bigger than... whatever you are." She added, slightly amused.
"Oh this isn't even all I can do!" I responded.
"You foolish whore, you really think that you can talk like that to me? When I have the power to kill you in less than a second-" She started boasting about herself, but she was interrupted.
Because I threw a knife at her. The knife scratched her shoulder, not her chest, the point where I was aiming. She dodged it. Very fast.
"Girls... Let's not get violent!" Nash said, trying to stop us.
"I'm not talking to any bitch like her. I can try those balloon animal shapes with her though!" She giggled.
She's insane. She's so fucking insane. I'm so fucked.
"BACK THE FUCK UP I GOT THE GUN!" I yelled at her.
Vixen pulled up one of her guns and aimed for my weapon.
"Well not anymore!" She smiled. The gun flied off my hands when the bullet hit it, and it dropped down on the ground with a loud bang.
"VI, DO NOT HURT HER." Nash yelled at her. "And Uzi, what the fuck? I thought you were chill! Is this how you treat your friends?" He turned to me.
"I don't have friends." I said irritated. "They fuck up when you need them most. And oh, didn't Vixen start this?" I mumbled.
"DO NOT DARE TO CALL ME BY MY NAME." She yelled, annoyed.
"How the fuck should I call you then? Sherlock fucking Holmes? Dumbass bitch? Stupid idiot?" I explained amused. I'm really getting on her nerves.
"STOP FIGHTING!" Nash screamed. "You two should be friends!" He told us.
"NEVER!" Both me and Vixen said at the same time.
"Vi, you really need some darn friends. She seems to be the closest to your personality until now, so why don't you try?" He tried to convince his sister. I chuckled.
"You said it yourself you're friendless, shut up." Vixen mumbled annoyed.
"The difference is that I chose to be this way!" I laughed at her.
"See? You two both get on each other's nerves! Something you two have in common!" Nash told her, with a hint of optimism in his voice.
"I AM NOTHING LIKE HER. SHE'S A COLD BLOODED KILLER." I yelled in my defense.
"But you seem to get along so weirdly well with my brother... You forgot that he kills too?" She said.
"Why the fuck do you guys even kill humans?" I asked them.
There was a moment of silence before Nash spoke.
"Uhh... Besides drinking their warm sweet blood to avoid starvation..? I guess I just wanna be useful!"
"I just kill for fun!" Vixen added after Nash. "But we were sent here for a reason. To eliminate. Beings like YOU."
"... And what do you get out of this?" I asked them. "You live off us, but after we're all gone, what will you do? What will happen to you? Have you guys ever thought about this? I doubt they will welcome some HUMAN KILLING MACHINES back on Earth!" I explained.
They reacted very differently to what I said.
Nash seemed surprised. Surprised and a bit scared. I think he never looked this way into his current situation.
Meanwhile Vixen was a bit surprised too, but mostly irritated. She seemed to know something else, but she also seemed to not care about what were to happen after she has finished her job.
"And how do you plan on solving this issue?" Vixen asked me sarcastically.
"By destroying the rich bastards. The ones that lead the company. You won't have to kill anymore. And I'm pretty sure that we can create some kind of substitute for blood!" I explained, proud of myself. "You could live with us, with no more need to hunt! Just some normal lives!" I added.
"Ohhhh I agree!" Nash said, looking very excited at Vixen.
"No, Nash, we're not doing this." His sister told him, with a hint of strictness in her voice.
"Well I'll leave you two to think about it, inform me!" I said, turning and heading towards my outpost.
I managed to take two steps before Vixen ran at me with her blades, stopping in front of me.
"Where do you think you're going sweetie?" She asked me in a suspiciously flirty voice.
"I'm going home, sweetie!" I talked back to her.
"Oh no no no, sadly I can't let you do that!~" She said to me, getting into an aggressive stance.
The next thing I saw was her running towards me, and then black.

"Nash, this is literally perfect food left for what? Because you consider it a friend?" I asked him, incredibly annoyed after I dropped the human in front of the doors of her bunker.
"I'm still thinking about what she said. If I disagree, we can get her another day!" He told me, pretty happy about what he was doing.
"THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER DAY!" I yelled, jumping at him. "The second she enters that thing, she won't EVER come out again!" I explained, but then an idea stroke me.
I chuckled at my intelligence. I would definitely get a lot more than a small snack like her after this.
"Nash, we'll let her go." I said.
"Wait didn't you tell me to not do that-" He asked me, confused.
"We'll wait until she enters and then... We STRIKE her exactly before the doors close! We'll be able to get in the bunker and then, kill the whole colony!" I told him the plan. "God, Jade's gonna be so happy when she hears about this plan! Though I gotta credit you, if you didn't keep me from killing her I would have never gotten this idea!!" I added, hitting him proudly on the back. He chuckled confused, but I ignored that, flying behind a bigger snow pile and waiting.
I didn't hit her hard enough to kill her. Sadly. She just needed a reminder that she should not fuck with me.
☣︎Uzi☣︎
Ugh... Where the fuck I am..?
"I am not dead yet..?" I mumbled confused. I was laying in the snow in front of the bunker. And my railgun was sitting next to me, surprisingly with the missing piece on.
Did I pass out from the cold? I couldn't remember jack shit. My head hurt. It hurt so much... I barely managed to get up, and I decided to not take into account the lots of barely visible footprints on the snow around me.
I didn't have a good feeling though, since I was feeling like I was being watched. But considering that I was where the glavexes are, I could actually have been watched. Despite never having seen one, I had a vague idea of their looks. Or maybe I saw one while I took the piece? Nah, I don't think so... It would have killed me instantly... But I better not stay out any longer.
I got out my key card and slashed it as quickly as I could to get in.
"Hey Uzi!" One of the wards told me when I entered. They were all chitchatting about cards, and my dad was nowhere to be seen. Good. I mumbled something in response, then I headed to the other pad to close the door.
I almost touched the keypad before-
Creeeeaaaaack
"WHAT THE FU-" I yelled as I was getting my key snatched by a quick movement.
Oh fuck it was pinned in the wall.
THE PAD WAS BROKEN-
"Surprise surprise idiots!~" I heard. The voice was familiar...
The rest of the workers were yelling and running. I was frozen in place. For a second only, but enough to see the imposing figures of Nash and Vixen, ready for slaughter.
My heartbeat was going faster and faster. I remembered every single detail of my short meeting with them. When I finally snapped back to reality, I ran. I ran and I didn't look back.
I passed everyone. I kept running, until I got to the last door. Door 3. It was closed. I had no key card. And none of the wards were catching up to me-
I could hear my own blood passing fast through my veins, and a ringing covered my only other hearing ear.
My ears were still ringing, but not as heavy, when I finally managed to start differentiating their cries from the glavexes' crazed chuckles.
I was beating at the door, on the verge of tears and begging for anyone to open it.
And then... It opened.
It was Khan. I couldn't even care at this point.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS TIME UZI-" he yelled at me.
"I fucked up Khan, I know! But in the same way I'm about to FIX IT!" I said back, holding back my tears. "KHAN MOVE-" I screamed, pushing that bastard to not get killed by Nash. He caught me and suspended me against the wall.
"I'm sorry Uzi, I really enjoyed my time with you!" Nash told me. "But I have to do this!"
"BITE ME!" I yelled at him. I tried to get away but he caught me again, holding me up suspended in the air. I had time to observe how Vixen was decimating every single ward, then she... Went out again?
"Look Khan... Please, pick up the gun! SHOOT! JUST POINT AND SHOOT DAD!" I yelled at him, with a sneaky tear falling down my face. He was watching everything in shock. "Please da-" I wanted to say again, but then Nash pushed a sword through my chest.
My vision was as blurry as it can be. Yet I can still see Khan closing the door. I could still see him believing that I was a disappointment. I could still see how much he hated me. I could still see how he left me for dead. Fighting back was useless...
"No..." I managed to say before being dropped on the floor. Everything was too hard to distinguish... Breathing was almost impossible and I could feel the blood coming into my mouth.
I fucked up no no no NO!
I can't have my last living moments be betrayal from him.

"As you can see Jade, I came up with the marvelous idea to let the human get back!" I told my sister as we were walking inside the abandoned hallway.
"Nash? Woah how many of them did you kill?" Jade said surprised. Surprisingly, he doesn't seem proud of himself in any way.
"Huh..? Oh hi Jade!" He mumbled confused. I looked down. Oh. The purple one is dead. Hm, I like this.
"Good job Nash!" I said, clapping my hands. "You killed her! You're such a good boy!" I told him, watching as his smile appeared. He loved being called a good boy. He was very wolflike after all.
"You cleared out the way, hm? And we can get past this door through the vents, how nice of you!" Jade complimented him, in an overly sweet voice. That was new. Suspicious even... "Vi, why don't you go forward to kill them? You loooveeee killing, don't ya?" She asked me. It wasn't like I had a choice not to listen to her. She could kill any of us in an instant...
I flew up in the ventilation shaft, but I heard something right after that. Huh. Maybe I should stay and listen.
"Oh Nash! It's so nice that you inspired Vi, isn't it? You're not useless anymore, my dear brother. Maybe being an idiot is useful after all! You know what you're gonna get for your job? Brandeeed peeeens!"
"Thank you Jade!"
Nash seemed avoidant.
"Uh... Not that I can't wait to start killing those maybe actually not-so-different-from-us worker humans but... just out of curiosity... Do we know what the company is gonna do with us after we uh... finish off all those humans..?"
No no no you fucking DUMBASS NO, NASH, STOP.
"Ughh..."
What? The purple haired idiot is awake? Nash... You're so fucked...
"Ex-fucking-cuse me?"
"Well... A worker might have suggested that she can repair the ship and to leave the planet and stuff... WHICH IS AGAINST THE RULES! But... Why were the pods only one way? And what's gonna happen to us after everyone is dead?"
"Oh Nash dear... Questioning the company? You finally gave me the excuse I needed!"
"Nash, no.." I accidentally let a word out. This was stupid, Nash you shouldn't have listened to her!
I could hear Jade stab him with the special knife. It was a weapon made to kill us if we disobey... And only the leader has it.
"Worker Humans are cursed, Nash. It's sad to see you cursed as well."
I could hear him drop on the floor.
"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING THERE?" She yelled at me.
"Waiting for you, idiot. Ugh come on, what's taking you so long?" I mumbled, hiding my shaking voice.
Nash was my brother. The only sibling I cared about. The reason why I gave in to the voices. The voices always told me that if I kill, he'd be safe.
Nash... What the FUCK have you DONE!?
☣︎Uzi☣︎
"Ughh..." I groaned. My chest... Ouch...
It hurts... But less and less... I don't know why. I can't even remember what happened...
Oh yeah... Nash stabbed me. How nice.
" ..oning the company? You finally gave me the excuse I needed!" I heard a voice through the strong ringing of my ears. The voice is unfamiliar.
When my vision got clearer, I observed a tall figure. It was winged and feathery. It looked kinda familiar... Is this Jade..? Oh, and there's Nash! Where's Vixen though?
Wait... Nash looks hurt?
Jade seems to leave after yelling something.
Weird.
Oh, I was feeling better already! I could see a bit better and the ringing left. Well, the one in my right ear did. It was nice to hear stuff again.
"Nash?" I walked up to him. He was hyperventilating and... bleeding? Ouch.
"I'm sorry Uzi... I ruined your card game and... And I made you have an awkward moment with your dad..." He told me
"And I made you rebel like an angsty teen. Which.. got you killed. But you did try to kill me, so morality calls this a draw." I said, annoyed.
I noticed the vent duct having a big hole in it.
And some of Vi's blonde fur around it.
They're probably lost anyway.
I moved a big box under it and tried to climb up.
...
The ceiling was too high up.
"For the record, this is the LAMEST heel-face turn in history. Was that you trying to switch sides?" I mumbled.
"Being rebellious is much harder than it looks... Thanks for showing me how to do that..."
"NO DAMN BONDING THING. You just killed a bunch of people, idiot."
"Yeah... I screwed up..." He said, saddened.
"In the same way you're about to fix it..?" I muttered, rolling my eyes. Now is the time to put to use my poor medical skills! Yoohoo!
ᗢVIXENᗢ
"Oh Vi, we're gonna have a feast without even needing to try!" Jade told me.
The humans were all cornered in a big room
And I could easily count 50-60 humans. The whole colony!
And there was an older guy. Hmm. He had that purple girl's skin tone. He seemed soooo scared.
I think she is going to be soooo saaad if her sweet little helpless daddy died! She fucking deserves it.
"BACK DOWN!" Some blonde guy told me. I could sense his fear. His bright green eyes did impress me. They were kinda beautiful. It would be a shame if someone were to... I don't know, pluck his eyeballs out?
"Ha, and who are you to tell me that?"
"I am Thad Dragontail! You should stop before I get violent!" He threatened me.
"Awww how cute! You're definitely gonna be my favorite toy before I get bored~" I said to scare him away. Not really willing to fight, but if he wanted to, I shall end him. "Still wanna fight?"
"I WILL IF THE WDF WON'T." He yelled, getting in a fighting stance. I already observed several mistakes in his pose. Unbalanced, easy to hit in the vital organs. He was just playing "hero saves the day".
"And who is this WDF?" I got closer to him, smiling menacingly.
"Worker Defense Force. WHICH SEEMS WE TRUSTED FOR NO REASON!" He yelled, looking at who I think Uzi's father was.
"Oh, what a nice chitchat! Now how about you become my meal?" I mumbled, striking him right in the stomach with my claws.
I hit him hard enough to roll at the legs of two girls. A blonde one and a weird girl with-
Blue... Hair...
"Did she have a kid?" I whispered at Jade through my teeth. I instinctively covered my neck with my hand. There was a scratch I got from two women 8 years ago. Those two. A blue haired one and a purple haired one. They fought strongly.
Wait... Uzi has the same-
SHIT. FUCKING SHIT. I FUCKING KNEW I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE.
Swoosh
A knife just flew above my head.
"HUH!?!?" Jade yelled surprised.
I turned to see...
"NASH!?!?"
"Hi!" He was waving his hand at us. I noticed Uzi giving him a not-so-discrete hit to remind him to say something. "Uh... Jade, you're sometimes kinda mean to me, and I wish you weren't."
HE SIDED WITH HER. WITH THE DAMN DEVIL.
"YOU TRAITOR!" I yelled, getting my blades out. And not just my blades.
I am going full attack mode. He sided with the very thing I wanted to protect him from. Such an idiot.
Him and Uzi talked about something. Then I saw her throwing a JCJenson branded pen at Jade-
"Uh... Hey Vi!" Nash told me.
"Die." I said in response.
I got my wings out and pulled out some guns.
TIME TO GO FUCKING CRAZY!
☣︎Uzi☣︎
"UGH DIE LITTLE PEST!" Jade yelled at me, trying to hit me with the gun.
I was incredibly quick tho. I managed to avoid every one of her shots and I was getting closer to her and managing to hit her again and again!
"UGH VI JUST LET ME EXPLAIN-" I heard Nash yelling. He was struggling. I should help him...
"Huh-" Jade struck me down. Shit.
"Hah! You've got a lot of guts for a barely sentient being. I had prey fight back before, but your edgy spirit is just so- PAINFUL!?!?" She yelled after I stabbed her with her own stinger. I chuckled amused.
I watched as she kept backing up. I guess I wasn't the only one that went through torture because of some stupid venom!
"AGH FOURTH QUARTER PROFITS-" She screamed as she slipped on some uh.
Blood. Is it my blood? Is it someone else's?
DOESN'T MATTER!
I ran towards her to keep Jade in place.
By pointing my gun at her.
"Any buzz word and I'll do it!~" I told her.
"Equity Partnership..?" She mumbled, kinda amused.
She doesn't think my gun would work.
WELL UNFORTUNATELY FOR HER, IT DOES!
"HA, BITE ME!"
BOOM
"Is she dead..?" I muttered, surprised. Hmm, apparently she was!
"Woah Uzi, that was INSANE!" Thad told me.
I rolled over my eyes as I heard that. I turned to check up on Nash.
"LET ME OUT YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" I heard Vixen screaming. She was tied with a-
"Nash? Did you bend a fucking PIPE!?" I exclaimed at him. That was surprising.
"Haha, yeah! It's not hard!" The innocence this boy has is actually the surprising thing.
Ugh... I'm feeling dizzy... I sat down for a second to calm down.
"LET ME DOWN-" I started yelling the second Nash decided to move me onto his shoulders. Stupid creature!
"Stop moving! I'm trying to help, you know?" He told me, slightly annoyed.
"UGH BITE ME!" I told him back, playfully fighting with him.
"Uhem." I saw my dad approaching. The most coward of them all, acting like the big tough guy he let people believe he is. "Uzi Akari Doorman." Oh fuck... I SAVED HIS ASS, WHAT DOES HE WANT TO FUCKING SAY!?!?
"Uzi Akari Doorman, you led those... VILE creatures inside the outpost because you wanted to build a GODDAMNED GUN!?!?" He scolded me in front of the whole colony. "You don't deserve the safety of this place, so you are to go and never return." He added. Vixen decided that this was the perfect moment to laugh.
"Khan. I brought the glavexes in here accidentally. AND INSTEAD YOU CHOSE TO LEAVE ME FOR DEAD. I would have ran away anyway. You're the worst father ever." I yelled back at him. "Everyone, you heard him. I'm no longer part of the colony, so that means I'm no longer part of the Doorman Family. Good fucking luck, bastard." I kept saying, watching his stupid smile slowly turn into rage.
"Let's go Nash. Everyone in here can BITE ME!" I yelled to the colony one last time.
/^ᐠ . .ᐟ\ฅ ☣︎
Huh. First sunrise in a while, is it not?
Outside the outpost forever... How will I keep my identity secret at the club? I have to find a way to sneak in...
"Hey Uzi, everything alright?" Nash asked me from inside the spire. "I'd join you if the sun didn't kill me, I hope you have some important character growth or something!" He added without waiting for the answer like the silly idiot he is.
"Oh sure I am." I mumbled. "I hope the rich bastards are sitting pretty there on Earth!
Because we're coming for them."
