I didn't even know if from which side of the battle started the carnage.
"CHARGE!"With but a single word, I felt our forces start colliding against each other. Metal and shrapnel pinged off the metal armors as our slapped-together units did their jobs as intended. Granted, the Decimals this time had shields with them, but our rifles were still capable of punching through them easy-peasy. The lethality might be reduced, but judging from the sounds of slaughter coming from below, I'd hazard a guess that they're still effective enough to be the trump cards for this battle.*BANG! BANG! PING!*But enough about that. I want to kill the fucker that killed the only pair of parents that I truly loved!"Sis?!"I didn't even hear my sister call out to me as I willed my legs forward; tunnel vision forming in my peripherals as I hacked and slashed my way towards my target. Shields were ineffectual if you knew what you were doing

Shit!*CRACK!*Dodging to my left, I felt my sweat drip as my previous position suddenly turned into glowing hot glass from the heat of the electricity. Like that night, ozone started permeating the air as I frantically looked for where the bastard might strike next. I knew that he can turn into lightning somehow... Maybe he was above me? Dividends were assassins after all- My nose perked up at the smell...Stop... Ozone...Behind me!*KRAKATHOOM!*A flash of of lightning casted a shadow in front of me as I quickly moved my arm-*CLANG!*"Ngggghhh!!"My right arm barely made it to block as remnants of the Prime's electricity traveled from his dagger all the way up to my shoulde

I grunted in pain for every second that I continued to fall down the stone stairwell. I knew that my sanity couldn't take much more pain than this, but I had to keep going unless I wanted to die like a piece of KFC chicken on a Sunday afternoon. Besides, I still had enough spite left in me to help me chug along through this fucking pain.Thank God I actually managed to convert from using despair as an energy source to spite during my last few years of existence in the old world."Nggghhh..."I felt my teeth clatter as my bones vibrated with each collision that my body made with the cold, hard stone. It sucked, but every stair step that rocked me and borderline gave me a concussion, the closer I got to retrieving my katana. And possibly, another shot at trying to save my overextending ass from certain death."I think I can see now why Sister chose you," the Prime commented from a ways above my body. "You're pretty driven for such a hopeless

Shit! Me and my big mouth!*CRACK!*I shielded my eyes as a streak of lightning flashed dangerously close to my face, visibly grazing my fringes as I limboed under the noticeably thicker bolt of blue lightning than before. I didn't even know that lightning can get fatter if you added more energy into it!"Mother said that I was the best! So Sister is automatically inferior!"*CRACK! CRACK!*Two more bolts of lightning erupted from the golden boy's dagger.Oh fuck!I managed to dodge the first bolt of lightning-Shit!*ZZZZZAAAPPP!*"AARRARARGHGH!!"My body shook in unbridled pain as I failed to get out of the way of the second bolt, my katana visibly drinking in the full brunt of the electric shock. The blade crackled with energy as I tried desperately to stay upright despite the pain."That's what you get! Nobody messes with me!"I don't car

It came as no surprise to me when I realized that I was gay. Well, technically lesbian, but semantics can go either way."That bitch! Spitting on our Mother's teachings even now!"I was probably fourteen when I realized that I constantly kept ogling my best friend and my other classmates when we changed clothes for P.E. class. Granted, no one knew that back then, but it was still a secret shame that I hold on to till today."You heretic! Not only are you a Dirt Eater, but you're a blasphemer as well!" the homophobic Prime screamed at the top of his boyish lungs. "You tainted my lazy Sister with your blasphemic ways!"I fought the urge to scoff at the inane accusation. On top of 'blasphemic' not even being a proper word, I wasn't even the one that initiated contact with the blue-bitch. She was the true blasphemer, not me since I never even had the chance to find a fellow lesbian in this world ever since I got here.Not to mention
The Least Common Denominator XIII.I Ohm's Law
We're really in for it now, weren't we...Here we were, running for our lives as a veritable electric storm ravaged anyone stupid enough to not run away from the rampaging Prime. While Olivia and I were still slashing our way through some of the tin cans that opposed us, it all eventually gave way to everyone just running side by side, all in the name of not dying to a young adult throwing a hissy-fit because I was gay.And holy shit did I wish that I just made that whole thought blurb up.*CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!*"Do you have a plan yet, Sis?!" I heard Olivia scream at me as we continued our descent all the way back to the Furnace. "We're about a few minutes away from going back to where we started!"In an instant, I felt the gaze of over a hundred souls land squarely at my puny shoulders. Friend and foe alike all looked at me like I was the savior sent by God that would deliver us from death via electrocution. It was a lot

*CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!*"RUUUUUNNNNN!!!"With as much power as I could muster in my throat, I screamed the one word that would hopefully lead to the least amount of casualties as possible while the rest of my fellow Dens stuck to the plan of making shields out of glass. I really hope that I'm fucking remembering my physical properties right. Because if the shields don't work?We're going to fucking fry at the mercy of this homophobic crybaby!"'Livia!""Got it!"Like a well-oiled machine, Olivia and I quickly shot off into the distance, trying to put as much distance between us and the irate Prime as possible while trying to make sure that he didn't lose his interest in me by not hiding behind anything that would break his line of sight. I needed him to be thoroughly distracted for this to fucking work. And I sure hope like hell that my fellow Dens were fast enough to make the shields before we eventually got cau

"Show yourself!"I cringed in horror as I watched our target shout out his threats with reckless abandon. The main thing that was making him dangerous was gone, but that didn't mean that we can finally drop our guards against him.That just meant that he wasn't a force of nature anymore."Sis?"The lack of the storm didn't mean that the idiot wouldn't be able to puncture a vat full of metal anymore, it just meant that we had to goad him into hitting one. And that was easier said than done.*CRACK!*"Heathen!"*BOOM!*A bolt of lightning shot out from the idiot's dagger just as I was thinking about ways to kill him. The errant lightning collided with a nearby vat, making it spill its contents out into the v

Olivia was livid."Die, Heathen scum!"The young girl's blood boiled with unbridled hate for the man in front of her. She didn't know how or why the Prime was even screaming out that they were heathens, but one thing was for sure:They never did anything wrong.*KRAKATHOOM!*With a skill that she had honed through constant fighting and endless drills, Olivia sprang to action; intercepting the incoming strike as she ignored the theatrical lightning. Arya had inadvertently trained her to see faster than what she thought possible through their spats; the Prime endlessly goading her by dangling her sister's mental freedom in front of her."If you stand against the Natural Order, then you shall die alongside her!"A brief pause in combat occurred as Olivia sized up her opponent. His attacks might be lightning-fast, but she had the edge in terms of predicting his movement depending on his body's position. Already
