Achlys glanced around every corner. She was amazed to see that so many cartridge holders and hybrids slipped out of her grasp back at PISTOL. Still, her mission wasn’t focused on them anymore. She did what she could in that department.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLi66wquk5
There was only one choice left. To destroy the world.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZmaVZEXlB
If she could manage keeping her allies safe, they might be able to bring back humanity while remaining off Kronos’ radar. Still, there were no guarantees. World destruction was a tricky situation. If Abyss and the others stayed at the hotel, they might hold out long enough to move them somewhere underground.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0qUAhUZim
Achlys shook the sentimental thoughts away. She had to focus. There was too much at risk to be distracted. She had to get Helios’ power no matter the cost.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveL2QQu83O
Achlys quickly slipped behind a dumpster and peaked around it cautiously. Was that a rosork? No, this has got to be too soon. Is this our fault?111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGFyY89Wcr
That’s when it dawned on her.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjxED7Nkc
They released Kronos’s army when they destroyed PISTOL. They’d unwittingly moved Kronos ages ahead in his process.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yUoNMNycU
She had to move faster if she wanted a chance to so much as stall Kronos’ plans.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPvQ9616SQ
Project: Disaster is in full swing starting with this mission, but am I too late?111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIZNmQtbXQ
Achlys felt the weight of the world on her shoulders as she carefully navigated, he way to the Palace. No more detours, no more taking your time. Get it together Achlys or Kronos will be able to drain the life of every planet in the Milky Way like chocolate cow juice. Khaos, I sound like a child.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZckQpcj2M
Achlys was back to the hotel in 11 days. The guards, Rosork, and rampant power wielders gave Achlys more trouble than she expected. She had dragged the queen through the sewers, which proved to be a more difficult task than Achlys had hoped.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhxg2hD9Rj
In Ember’s desperate attempts to escape, she released a flurry of flames. Most of Achlys’ own abilities would either blow up in her face or be negated by the flashes of light Ember’s fire triggered. This is what I get for taking a nap before mission complete.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULTV5QSwCO
Achlys’ laughing gas had worn off before she woke up. That’s what a week of no sleep will do to you. Nodding off at the most inconvenient times. Achlys was lucky only a portion of her hair was singed. If it weren’t for the cuffs Achlys stole from the dungeon guards, Ember could have been finished with Achlys and made an escape.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquT8mCm7F5
If only the queen understood that her kidnappinh and the destruction of the world was for the betterment of many.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx6Ru76TlE

Despite Achlys’ best efforts to hurry back, she was too slow. Achlys surfaced, but she left the queen bound in the sewers.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxaeLy85s
The hotel appeared normal at first, but once Achlys got to the suite, everything was wrecked.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgPPq6rXgj
A handful of hotel workers were cleaning the lobby when Achlys arrived. They stared at her in surprise and terror.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAnauNTxEi
“It’s her!” One of them whispered loudly. “Do any of you have Commander H’s card?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UmjygYGZQ
Someone else fumbled with a slip of paper. Achlys rushed towards them and snatched the card, stuffing it into her pocket.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmOg5YQIi3
“You’re lucky I don’t snap your neck. I’m not here for trouble. What happened to the others?111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOYjYrunzj
“P-P-PISTOL came,” the scrawny man stammered. “They said they would leave peacefully if we turned over the people renting the residential suite. We had no choice! They came with dozens of soldiers!”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbB6neJKwi
“Excuses from weaklings!” Achlys exclaimed.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvQVoa3Tk
Nobody was killed,” one of them spoke up in defense. “A man and his son were taken.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jf4EqfPUn
Son? What in Kronos’ name? Achlys paused in confusion.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQDcLD3dL
...Do they mean Corder and Antonio? That might mean...111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuD6agrwmg
Achlys turned and snapped at the other workers. “All of you, out, now!”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQYpVFakNr
The man she was talking to tried to hurry out, but Achlys grabbed him by his shirt collar. The man yelped.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmKirSsZT2
“Not you. I still have questions. How long ago was this?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3j1DoI6WH
“This morning,” he blurted out.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2iNtgFzgK
“Did PISTOL say where they were going?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gePajyD6
“N-no, but there’s a new rebel base a little way south. I-I-I wouldn’t go there though! It’s in the middle of-of a warzone!”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ExSVVXdx
Achlys let out a frustrated growl and shoved the man into the elevator just before it closed.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhwszCxNGr

“It's safe! The rest of you come out if you’re still here!”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXZjxpmJC2
It took a moment, but slowly Lucy came out from a large bush that certainly wasn’t so full before.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQADfjyrDb
Water flowed overhead as a pitcher emptied as if gravity reversed. A cup followed suit, and water came through the crack beneath the bathroom door. The water reformed into Vivian.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqA5tW9pn
Achlys waited another beat which turned into 5 minutes of silence. She glared at Vivian. “Where is Abyss?” Her tone was steady and laced with poison.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDVBLdUnu6
“He left days ago,” Lucy answered.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8X0RM7YW
“What?! Where did he go?!” Achlys stepped menacingly toward Lucy. The older girl was in a panicked outrage. He can’t be gone. Anyone but Abyss.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjxl7g4a9
“He never said. We tried to stop him. He was in a hurry,” Vivian answered quickly to redirect Achlys’ attention from Lucy.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7odZeVUIZz
“We need to find him,” Achlys said firmly. “He’s the only thing that matters now... He’s essential to the plan!”
