Chapter Text
Walking through the front doors of the center station, was the most empowered I’ve felt in a while, or at least since I destroyed the Reinforce’s main base years ago but even then, I didn’t leave unscattered but now standing in the station of most technological power of the whole planet, where they were planning on making alliances, It was the chance I’ve been waiting to make them regret ever meeting me.
The building was huge, a show of technological power, robots everywhere checking everything and everyone, a small round robot came close to me so it could recognize my face, I grabbed it quickly, and turned it off before opening the back, switching chips.
-Can you listen?- I asked, tapping my headphones.
-Loud and clear boss, the officers are already following us.
-Any chance they’ll catch up to you?
-Not in a million years!- he said and I could visualize the grin on his face.
I entered the building at the sound of ‘Smell like Teen Spirits’ and watched as the Nanobots I implanted at the front entered every air intake, and were already looking for the motherboard. I entered the elevator as I followed the energy lines trying to find where they hid the prisoners brought by the Reinforcers. I put on my visor glasses that could help me see all the energy flowing through the building. I stayed up various nights perfecting them, to catch every glimpse. Finally, I found the trace. I ran towards the entries, they hid it very well, if I got there in time the plan would already have worked. All I need to do is get to the prisoners.
“STOP!” a guard said, coming my way, “Lower your weapons!”
“What weapons are you talking about? I have nothing on me”
Before the guard could do anything, all of the air vents exploded giving me time to run, I could see the path to the prisoners station, the only thing blocking the way was a door. Unfortunately the door was locked with a code. It would take me at least five minutes for me to hack it. I was able to unlock the door which wasn’t all that hard, thanks to how long they took to develop things. They hadn't finished coding the door so it was way easier to open it.
The room was filled with screens but in the center there was a huge keyboard, this must be where they keep the info about the prisoners, if I can find it, I'll be able to get to them. While in my search the computer beeped and a huge letter appeared.
!ALERT! Those Files are only available For authorized members
Wow! I thought to myself, Do they actually think this will keep anyone away? Though I already knew the answer. They weren’t near smart enough to keep me from finding those files. And there it was ‘Keimusho Prisoners Files’ Written in bold letters. Now that was easy, easier than I thought it would be, all I needed to was download all of it to the pendrive, I know it’s not the most modern thing or whatever but it’s the quickest and secure way right now. I could hear people shouting, steps coming 50% on the computer the steps were coming closer, 68% I could feel my pressure dropping, 75% my heart pounding 80% the rest of the bombs would go off at any minute, 95% I needed to find the prisoners first!

“Phew, what a relief!” I said catching my breath, “Time to go!”
I took the pen drive and connected it to my phone, it had the shape of a videogame switch. I put together, I mean we put together the broken parts of the switch and fixed it, with some improvements. I walked over to the glitching walls, I had a feeling they looked weird before and as I thought it was a fake wall charged with electricity so no one would notice, honestly those people were supposed to be geniuses but they were doing so many stupid things I felt almost betrayed.
There they were the prisoners in small separate cells, with collars on their necks. I couldn't tell what I felt, disgust, anger, maybe fear? I saw a young girl, she had light curly hair and hazel eyes that I could barely see hidden under hair. She had a collar, which the Reinforcers use to keep them prisoners, or else they can die. Her eyes were lifeless, they were all using white clothing, like in an asylum, I felt like looking in a mirror, I remembered being her, I remember how it felt, an I wanted take that feeling from her, I wanted to hug and tell her that everything was going to be okay, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth so I grabbed my phone switch which had already taken all the info from the pen drive and used it to unlock the cells.
“I’m not going to hurt you, I promise!” I announced as I got closer, “I… I’m Morgana, I'm head of the PRC and I'm here to free you!”
“You should go!” The girl finally spoke up and her voice was frail, “They’re gonna find you, and capture you too!”
“Don’t you worry about me, my team is the strongest, I guarantee you!” I said, I was trying my best to sound encouraging. “We’ll explain everything once we get you out of here, okay?”
“...Okay” She said in a whisper and nodded.
She didn't seem to care about my explanation, she just agreed to what I said with no questions, none of them did. I touched the collar by the back and disativated it, and did it to all of them. There were five people in there, I took them and and guided them to the exit, for everything to go right I needed to have them escorted in time, I already saw a truck parked on the back, we walked silently as possible, I had left holograms on the cell room so they wouldn't notice but it wasn't going to last long, just as I imagined, a man wearing a black cap on his head and sunglasses, even though it was night with a black leather jacket over a white polo shirt with graffiti over it written Nice Guys Finish Last and a drawing of clown face winking, along with a spiked belt which I do respect but I’ll never get what’s wrong with this guy, the only man I knew that would wear those clothes in a situation like this.
“Nice seeing you Elijah,” I said with an unbothered tone, “You look lovely as always.”
“A compliment from the Big Boss, what did I do to deserve such praise?” He said in a sarcastic tone.
“Honestly, what's up with the shirts? It’s so anticlimactic!”
“What can I say, I'm just that hot.” He said and I almost couldn't tell if he was joking or if he actually believed it. “Anyway, so they’re the famous prisoners”
“Yep, only five!” I told him while pointing for them to enter, “I’m so excited to see the anger in their faces when they realize we took their prisoners”
“C'mon guys! Are you ready for a wild ride?”
“Don’t mind them,” I whispered, “Who knows what they did to them.” I said and he nodded in agreement.
“Take care Boss, I'll see you soon!” He said affirmingly, he looked deep into my eyes and held my hand, he took a long breath and let go of my hand and started the truck.
I watched them go, and now everything was ready, to set the plan in motion, I took out my phone that held all of the info from their computer and I simply sent a video message to the news report and sent the Video which should be ready to go in ten minutes I entered back in the building at this point things where a mess people running, while I walked searching for the motherboard to finish the job, I was but this time was harder than before after I first set off the bombs they entered in panicked mode, thankfully, I had to people in a motorbike distracting many of the police officers, during my invasion, I heard hard steps coming closer, so I hid behind a wall and set quietly, I was hoping for it to go quickly but it was sticking around and soon it would find me so I reached to pocket and trew a smoke bomb, with Papola pollen, lucky this guard wasn't a robot so the pollen put him right to sleep, I held my breath and ran through the corridor as fast as i could following the energy lines till I found where the motherboard was, the motherboard, I felt an enticing urge deep in my blood, and I implanted the final bomb and walked away.
Everything was ready all I had to do was get out of the base in one piece the robot I hacked was infecting other robots little by little, before keep walking i made sure to turn off all cameras, I was near the exit, ran forward as fast as could when a reinforcer robot ran towards me and hit me in the stomach and I fell to the ground, my head was reeling and my stomach hurted like hell, I reached to my pocked, knowing I had putted something that could help, I took out a gun and the robot laughed I pressed the button and BOOM! A shock explosion, I took the opportunity to run.
I ran through the streets it was raining heavily everyone was holding an umbrella, I passed to a shop and bought one quickly as the robots ran after me trying to find me, I used the umbrella as a disguise, they could locate me in a place full of people, I was able to merge with the crowd soon I was able to get out completely of their sight, I entered in a dead end part of the city full of dirt, a large wall with a hole covered with machinery and junk I snuck into the whole and there it was my neighborhood, there were drunk men passed out on the street, guys fighting everywhere, women trying to seduce men into giving them money, overall a mess, I walked through the street till I found a bar but let me say it wasn't just a bar it was The Bar, the sign was a bit dirty, but could still read, big and bright ‘Twist & Sip’ I entered the bar and there was full of people drinking and partying, a table of caucasian guys with green eyes who seemed sober enough looked at me.
“Look who is here!” The tallest of them said, “Our dear Morgana” he said pointing to me.
“I see no need to announce my arrival.” I replied annoyed with their fiasco but a bit entertained, just a bit.
“Could you pretty please grab us a drink?” The other guy said he seemed more drunk than the others.
“You know there’s nothing I wouldn't do for you!”
“Even when you don’t like it!” The guy said, but I ignored his remark.
I went to a machine and tossed some coins and then gave them a couple beers, I saw Elijah at the register along with a girl I didn't remember seeing before, the fact that he was here meant the plan worked smoothly, so I had no worries, just needed Kyle and Kayla to arrive and everything would be fine, I was scared they get caught by the police but knew I needed to trust that they’d be fine, besides Kyle’s ability riding a motorcycle are fine. I walked over to Elijah and sat at the bar bench.
“Hey, you’re already here? From how long you were taking I thought you’d stay out for the whole night” He said mockingly.
“Hahaha, very funny!” I said sarcastically.
“Don’t be grumpy,” He said, “Your plan worked out pretty well.”
“Where are the…” I stopped myself from continuing, “You know who?”
“They’re at the back, resting a bit”
“Good, that’s good” I said, reaffirming myself, “Once they’ve rested I'll explain everything to them!”
“What about Kylle and Kaylla?” He asked, “Any idea of where they are?”
“They’ll be here soon” I said, trying to believe what I was saying, “They’re alright!”
“Don’t worry, they’re okay, I'm sure they are, you know how those kids, always playing around” He said trying to comfort me, and patted my back, “I bet they’re laughing their ass-off!” He always knew what to say to comfort me.
“And could you tell me who’s that?” I asked, pointing at the girl at the register, “Don’t remember seeing her around here before.
“That’s Beth!” He said enthusiastically, “I hired her, I mean the bar is always full, and with you always calling me for missions I needed some help.”
She seemed good enough, and Elijah looked at her with such joy, the girl he called Beth had dark skin, and curly hair, looked like cotton candy, her smile was pretty and she wore yellow eyeshadow that looks gorgeous on her skin she had her hair on a pony tail, she seemed really nice. I reached my pocket to check my phone and there it was, the video was uploaded.
“Hey Guys, Turn off the game, and put on news right now!” I shouted.
“Sure ma'am!” One of the guys answered.
As the reporters told about the invasion on the channel started to bug and light in and out an image with the acronym PRC, which is us of course, while it took a while for it to completely start I felt someone poking me so I turned my back and saw a boy and a girl, they both had hazelnut eyes, tanned skin and brown hair, and they looked like carbon copies of each other.
“Phew, you came, I started thinking, you two got caught!” I said in relief
.
“Don’t worry, mo- I mean Boss,” said Kayla as she stumbled in her words. “Everything went really well!” She said excitedly.
“Those officers were no match for us!” Kylle added.
“I’m glad!” I said as I put my hand on their shoulders, “Come on, let's watch today's news, they seem quite interesting today!” I said with a grin.
–Today there was a sudden attack to the headquarters, where the Reinforcers were about to have a meeting with the council, when it was bombarded - - - -
– Hello, people of Chūō wakusei, i’m sorry to interrupt your daily news report, but I have a great announcement to do, you probably don't know who I am or who we are, well I’m here to say we are The PRC and we’re here to stay we are many and we are everywhere, and I? You can call me the leader of the PRC. We will destroy the Reinforcers, who have imprisoned innocent people, we need to stop with the injustice, we won’t stand it any longer, don’t worry citizens, I'll keep you all informed.
You may go back to your usual announcements.
After that the news went back to normal except now, people were probably terrorized which gave us great advantage, people were silent for a moment.
“That’s Horrible!” Beth shouted, her hands were shaking.
Suddenly all eyes were on her, they stared at her like wolves at their prey, and then suddenly the room broke out into laughter, she looked at everyone confused and a guy shouted.
“Does she seriously not know!” He said, gasping for air, “Don't you know who she is?” He pointed at me. “Hey Elijah, why don't you introduce them!”
“Beth this is Morgana,” Elijah started, “She is the Leader of the PRC that you just saw.”
“What? What do you mean, yall just know that and still let her be here? She’s a criminal!”
“Wow, are you that dumb or are you just pretending?” Said the drunk caucasian.
“Stop it” I whispered as I hit his shoulder, “It’s not her fault she didn’t notice!”
“Didn’t she notice the Big graffiti on the written PRC? Now that’s dyslexia!” He said giggling.
“Okay, okay, stop now!” Elijah ordered, “It’s no time for this, Let us celebrate PRCs victory today!” He shouted and everyone clapped.
After that he pulled Beth to the side and seemed to be explaining things to her. I wasn't worried after all, I know these guys always have my back, and also she’d be pretty easy to kill anyways, if she opens her mouth, we might just shoot her right in the head. I walked over to the back as everyone was drinking the prisoners were sleeping, I felt a punch in the gut, the girl now was wearing an old oversized t shirt that seemed like a dress on her and her curls were covering the whole pillow letting her face show, she had little freckles all over her face.
Hey Guys, are you awake? I ask the rest of the Mogan, I’d say we’re making pretty good progress! But they didn’t respond. I guess that’s a good thing, at least they won't be talking in my head. I sit on a poltron over the excretory as my eyes get heavier and heavier.
I heard a voice sing me to sleep in the back of my mind, I didn’t know whose, but it sounded… Sad.
