She stayed for a while to chat up with Nex but eventually she left as if she was quite in a hurry. "Come visit the orphanage if you have time." She said as she left. Nex sighed as she downed another glass of Death's Gambit.Naj raised her head scratching her cheeks awkwardly, "It's okay Nex, You'll have plenty of chances next time." Nex groaned, "Damn! I even wore makeup too." Naj patted her on the back, "It's okay, this is a bar Nex let's just party it away. If you think that's still not enough we could go to the nightclub near here." Nex shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah, maybe you're right." She looked towards the bartender and ordered a lot of drinks. The two screamed as the downed their shots of tequila.Meanwhile Miri was walking on a slightly narrow alleyway towards the slums, where the orphanage was. The lights that illuminated the place were dim. Filled with broken down buildings and graffiti everywhere.A lot of people were outside this time of night, the slums were especially l
The hooded figure observed Skadi as she neared it. Skadi stopped just right in front of the hooded figure. She towered over her opponent appearing a head and a half taller. She glared down at her opponent as she gripped her fist. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, "So, How do you wanna do this?"The hooded figure shrugged their shoulders. "It doesn't matter, You decide." they said seemingly impatient to start the bout. Skadi grinned as she ruffled her pockets. She drew out a smoke bomb.Making the hooded figure reach for it's blade. "I'll toss this into the air, once it lands... it's a melee." Skadi said as she put her free hand on her waist. The hooded figure nodded and stepped back a few meters."Though I gotta say, you're awfully considerate today. The others weren't so lucky." She said probing her attacker. The hooded figure shook it's head and spoke, "You're not as terrible as the rest of them. But, you still need to die for what you've done." Skadi was looking down at t
The figure dashed towards her faster this time, her movements, faster than the last. An upward slash then followed by multiple slashes on every direction in quick succession. Skadi could barely follow her movements it was lightning fast, yet as if she could read her opponent. She parried off all the strikes with the back of her gloves. As time passes her smile grew wider and wider underneath her mask.The hooded figure got closer into Skadi's range. It ducked under to avoid the punch, as it sent an upwards thrust. It saw the expression Skadi wore. It was glee, Her grin almost reaching her ears, surprising the hooded figure. It could see delight in her icy blue eyes.Skadi noticed that her opponent's strikes were getting even faster. It took everything she had to party and dodge. She was wounded although it's very shallow. She can't help but be surprised. Yet as if driven by madness she was laughing in glee. Skadi thought to herself that she needed to take this fight into a smaller spa
The occasional sound of metal colliding could be heard through the rain. Two people clashed at the dilapidated building filled with holes from their battle. It's brittle walls shook every time the two would meet. The rain would enter through the cracks. Flooding the room making appear more worn down. Quick footsteps were heard as their boots would splash at the puddles formed by the storm.Skadi noticed that Setsuna's figure would flicker as her punches would go through her afterimage. She would then reappear at her blind spots wounding her albeit shallowly. Her instincts would warn her where the next strike would be.This however didn't frustrate her, instead made the atmosphere she gave off was unbearably thick. Almost depriving the oxygen of those who felt it, further increased by the stench of iron.She threw smoke grenades towards the ceiling and walls to obscure both their vision. Yet as if Setsuna could see through the smoke, she cut all the wires Skadi weaved. She dashed strai
Her entire being emitted electricity, "You hypocrites propagate the idea of being the ones to devour the misguided light in the universe."You're nothing more than glorified murderers! I'm going to fucking kill you all! Each and every last one of you!!!" Her almost feral voice reverberated against Skadi's entire being. Her fingertips twitched as she stared at Setsuna with both pity and sorrow.Setsuna saw Skadi's eyes through the mask. It pissed her off. "What... right... do you have!!! to show me those eyes!!!" She dashed towards Skadi in anger. Ignoring everything around them. Her only focus was to kill her right at this moment.She stomped her foot forward shattering the ice beneath her as she sent a flurry of slashes, blurring Skadi's vision. Skadi caught her blade and threw it upwards stabbing the frozen ceiling."Don't think I'll ever forgive you!!" She said as she punched and kicked Skadi. She on the other hand parried off all her strikes aside. However Setsuna was too fast, so
Deep Space.In the orbit of Scylla 8-b, A Large Gunship hovered over. It's massive frame wasn't noticed by the authorities that patrol the orbit. It was cloaked blending in with Scylla 8-b's night sky. When one looked towards the sky they would only see a blurry cloud."Are you sure she's here?" The Argothian man asked as he stared at the coordinates Aurora punched in. However Aurora just shrugged, "She contacted this ship directly. If she's not her then where the hell else? Besides I heard rumors of Desmond being here too."The masked man scoffed as he heard Baldr's name. "So he could run away again? He's going to decline. It's in his nature." He said in his slightly mechanical voice. Sjor'kai narrowed his eyes, "We need all the help we can get. If he says no, then so be it. Besides didn't Miri leave before everything went down?""That's different. She's different." He said as he stared in the planets night view. He could see through the atmosphere as the night lights were brighter t
Skadi stared at Setsuna, her mind raced. As she stared at her pitiful attempt to stand up. Her wobbly legs took one step at a time. Even Skadi felt the blade she carried to be too heavy for her. She dragged herself only fueled by her desire.She took one step.Then another.Until she was a few meters away. Setsuna closed her eyes. Skadi's remained open as she waited for Setsuna to gather herself.'Even though you hate me from the bottom of your heart. Not only me, but perhaps Ragnarök at its entirety. Perhaps as an extension... hate yourself...'Aren't you lonely?Skadi thought as she stared at Setsuna's pitiful figure. Setsuna saw the pure gaze Skadi was giving her. She clenched her fists as she bit her lip.She tried her best not to look back at the people who she killed. She gripped her blade, 'However I cannot look back.'She charged once more, yet as if time slowed down. When Skadi deflected her blade she saw her expression.It was feral. Almost inhuman. Her beauty was unnoticea
The constant noise from her wrist drive resting on her bed side's drawers kept on playing the same music each time it vibrates. Nex turned around ignoring the annoying sound as she kept sleeping.However as if she forgot her new roommate, she was gently nudged to be woken up. She frowned but she got up. Rubbing her eyes as she yawned she checked the holo-clock on her wall.9:00 A.M.She raised her eyebrows towards the one who woke her up, "Blair... It's too fucking early." However the Android girl just tilted her head. "Ms. Alessandra is calling." She said as she patched the call on Nex's wrist drive. She then handed it over to her."Hello, Ms. Nex how've you been?" Alessandra's voice echoed in her ears. Nex suppressed her yawns as she answered, "Well, I've been waking up, if that's what you're asking." Alessandra chuckled. "You sound a little sour. Got rejected?"Nex scratched her hair, "Stop stalking me..." She said simply. "I didn't, I don't peek on my employees private life. Your
