"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
I... I do? "Ica... Are you sure about this?" The phoenix only nodded as she picked up a sword that was sticking out of the ground. Her eyes burned dimly as she spoke, "Absolutely. I want to prove something to you. With this, my point will be irrefutable." I probably looked stupid as a flurry of disbelief and confusion colored my face. Why even bother with this charade? "You do realize that you can just tell me what you want, right?" For a change, Ica smirked, "Yes, but where's the fun in that?" I blinked; my left eye twitching in annoyance as she threw my thoughts right back at me. Cause of course this condescending prick would do this. She was me, after all. "I'm glad you think that," my alter-ego smiled as she twirled the sword in her hand. "I am y
Are we seriously having to retread these thoughts again? After everything that we've been through?"Why not?" Ica shrugged as she snapped her fingers, the world around me fixing itself as our usual table reappeared in front of us. "We have all the time in the world right now, seeing as your mindscape is still as dark as a dimly lit alleyway.""Uh.. huh...."To be honest, I didn't really know what was happening anymore. I might as well just let Ica do her thing while I wait to wake up back in the real world again. Besides, she's good company, no matter how annoyed I may get with her."I'm flattered that you think that, but that's beside the point."Ica chuckled as she held a steaming cup of tea in front of her again. The table held its usual suspects of tea and snacks, myself taking a cup of
Peace... What exactly is peace? Was it the absence of strife? A state wherein there were no problems? Perhaps it was a life with no adversity or challenge? Quite frankly, technicalities were the enemy of straightforward idiots like me that love to pretend they're deep and philosophical. Maybe I was overthinking it, but it's fun to see just how far one can stretch the truth for the sake of their ideals. Maybe someone's idea of peace was silence, which would then make them kill everyone and everything around them just so they could achieve this ideal. Or maybe someone would want war to end, which would end up with them slaughtering and genociding their enemies so that their country would know no enemy ever again.The possibilities of technicalities about random ideas and philosophies could possibly be the only thing responsible for making villains and would-be dictators. I know I already subscribe to the id
E-eh?I was roused from my pseudo-slumber as Tesla's yelling brought me back to the world of the painful living. My joints creaked in protest as I forced myself up, my muscles screaming at the back of my head to lie back down as I ignored them all for proper decorum.Well... "What is it?" I asked the former Prime as she stood over me.Tesla, for her part, suddenly froze up as soon as I spoke, "I... It's..."I blinked as I watched the poor girl fumble over her words. Not that it wasn't endearing, but I kind of expected more after she just barged in here yelling that we needed to talk about something. Still, I probably had to get her to calm down enough so that we can get started with whatever this possibly was."Deep breaths, Tesla," I soothed, trying and utterly failing to stand up and reach
Waking up from a nap always made me feel like I didn't do a damn thing to my inherent tiredness, and today was no exception as I forced myself up from my cot. My back was sore, as was every other part of my body, but nonetheless, it was still better than being completely incapacitated. However, the ache in my chest from earlier being more pronounced than when I first took a nap was worrying, to say the least. 'Ah... That could probably be my doing.' I blinked at Ica's voice echoing in my head. It was still a novelty to me to hear her even in the waking world, but it was still a welcome addition to it. But wait a second, what do you mean my chest pain was your doing? An inquisitive tone replied back, 'This... backdoor that I'm using to communicate with you is located at the top of the li
An awkward silence enveloped the entire camp as Tesla stood at the center of it all, her knees shaking as fear began gripping her very being. Suffice to say, however, everyone else around me shared the same look of confusion as I did. The Emperor would kill us all? Wasn't that just a vague threat?"Uhh... Isn't that the plan in the first place?" Lace shrugged in her seat beside Love. "The Emperor will kill us either way, regardless of what we do, so...""And even then, the man is vindictive enough to disown his own heirs," Grigori chuckled from his spot. "It would be a surprise if the Emperor didn't want to kill us."The joking tone that the two employed made the awkwardness seep out just a tad bit. However, I could only observe as Tesla remained stricken with her fear of the man we're trying to depose. She was actually sweating now, and I was star
