Right... That's over and done with...Dressing the last of Love's injuries, Lace and I finally let ourselves sag into our seats as exhaustion tried to overtake us. And while Lace was easily more capable of going for more, I was already on my last legs even before I participated in this shit. My already tired body was absolutely raring to fall apart like a house of cards; my chest tightening with such an alarming degree that I almost think I was about to have a heart attack. Well, at least it wasn't caused by Essence exhaustion this time. If it happens at all."Thank you, Lace, Lady Crimson."I could only pant as I watched Love stand up from her prone position. With her back wrapped in sturdier bandages than before, the fact that she moved like it was nothing was infuriating my doctor senses. Already, the former Prime was raring to go out and return

Carrying a ration of deer jerky and a batch of bandages, I returned to Tesla only to see that she had collapsed against the walls of the APC. Her shoulder-length white hair draped her face in a way that made her look far older than she probably was. Meanwhile, her staff laid broken in front of her, blood staining the breaks in a way that told me that she did it herself. Kneeling to look at the broken weapon, I contained a whistle as I noticed something peculiar.The staff was made of metal, and yet she somehow managed to break it in half with her bare hands. Granted, looking at her hand showed that it didn't come without a price, but it was still impressive that she could cause a clean break using her raw strength alone. That, and a clever application of lightning based on the small chars littering the points of failure.Letting out a sigh, I placed the ration down beside her

Exhaustion. Tiredness. The primal force to simply not go on and give up... To be quite honest, I didn't really think I was the type of person to just drop everything and say 'fuck it, just kill me now' back when I was a kid. I sincerely thought I was capable of doing what my parents told me to do. Be a good girl, get good grades, maybe even get a scholarship in a good university, be successful. Then again, I was probably capable of doing it if I didn't just roll over at the first insurmountable obstacle that caused my self-confidence to come crashing down. It was stupid, I know, but I guess getting gaslit by everybody you knew that you were hot shit had dire consequences when the world suddenly hits you with a reality check so massive that you almost killed yourself. Heh... Perseverance was the one thing I lacked. Maybe I had it with games, but real life wasn't something you could just fail in with an unlimited number of times. Fail

The engine roared to life just as I managed to get back inside the APC. Ruby and Phillipe had already strapped themselves back in for a bumpy ride, Anne had a few bags under her eyes but still looked determined, and Lace was visibly vibrating from where she sat. Arya was still unconscious, and Tesla looked absolutely terrified in her small corner of the vehicle, which instantly reminded me of the fact that I still had a bunch of rations with me. I did promise the young Prime that she could eat whatever the hell she wanted. That, and the fact that I wouldn't hurt her. Wait..."Lace, get on the wheel. Anne, we move on my command, okay?""Got it.""Oui, Madame."With my orders given, I stepped towards our security risk. The reality that her fellow Prime must be looking for her right now would probably be the last thing I needed to help work

Grigori gave me a small glance as he made sure to position himself near the back of the vehicle. With everybody- wait... I seriously forgot to get someone to be on coal duty, didn't I..."Shit!"Ducking my head back under the hatch, I turned my gaze to the two unoccupied members of the party. I didn't really care which of the two wanted to do it. What mattered was that someone got in there and began shoveling before we literally ran out of steam."Ruby! Phillipe! I need one of you to get in the coal chamber!" I yelled out. "I don't care who, just that someone be there and do it!""But-"I didn't bother hearing another one of Phillipe's protests as I returned to the more important job of being a lookout. All around us, the people were honest-to-god screaming and gasping at us as we moved forw

Hoo boy... Here we fucking go. With Love running along the rooftops, she became in charge of trying to shake this prick of our tail while I focused on keeping ourselves alive from whatever it was that he might throw us. The first salvo of garbage that got sent our way was easy enough to repel. Consisting of planks of wood and whatever else there was in a farmer's market, I managed to slice out of my way with the Firebrand and the occasional help of the Blink Dagger. In hindsight, I probably should've had the Sange and Yasha with me right now, but the time for regret was most certainly not while we had a literal Prime on our asses. "Give me sitrep down there!" I shouted out just as I felt a splash of fruit juice hit my face. "C'mon! Anybody!" "We're still patching ourselves up!" Livia's voice echoed from the open hatch. "Is

"Fun, huh..."I mumbled out a tick of annoyance as the world seemed to slow to a crawl. My mind whirred with possibilities as my opponent slowly strode forward like we were in bullet time. Meanwhile, I held my ground with my weapons as I felt the wind of movement hit my back. My foot was on the edge of the APC's roof, and my reserves felt like they could give out at any given moment.Right... What're my options here?Taking the briefest of glances, Love was still leading us in a straight line and Lace was following it through, which meant that our platform won't be moving for a few seconds at least... My opponent looked absolutely assured of his victory... Pride? Arrogance? I could probably use that... My flames were usually strong enough to contend with some of the stronger attacks that Grigori and Love could dish out, but how would it interact wi

Think, Crimson! how the fuck are we going to get out of this?! This unrelenting pressure would have to give out sooner, but with how hard it was pushing down on me, I could barely even breathe anymore!"Livia! Love! Put him down!"I cried out. Or at least, I thought I did. I didn't even hear myself scream, more so feel the hoarse vibrations in my throat as my vocal cords did their thing. Hopefully, one of them was able to move and kill this man before we all got squished to a pulp by this unrelenting pressure.My neck eventually gave out as I found myself face planting onto the metal beneath me. All I could see was the unmoving side of some random building as I focused myself on just trying to stay awake through this mess. If I had to wait this shit out, then that's what I was going to do. Even if my chest feels like it was about to cave in on itse
