Gemini Tales
By Calisto and Midori
In a glorious and not so distant future, humanity has used up almost all the precious resources available. As the nearby planets have proven barren and inhospitable, humans turned to Guilds for protection. These guilds were usually little more than roving bands of bandits and killers; however, some rose above the rest...
NotW was one such Guild. They had claimed an old laboratory as their hideout and were attempting to engineer sustainable technology and resources to save the world. Their Leader believed in peace and restoration, and so did most of the Guild. However, two sisters, whom just appeared at their door one day, were otherwise inclined. Only known by the name Gemini, these two were ruthless and were the killers in the Guild.
As the strife and war grew worse, the twins were more needed, and the Leader's attention stretched thinner. Ze was no longer able to monitor their behavior... Or their bloodlust.
The sisters attacked random people as they were now able to play with their prey, slicing off bits, letting them run, then hunting them down...
Although identical in face, the two had different tastes in torture...
One was a bloodthirsty monster who popped her prey's eyeballs, cut off their ears, noses, fingers and toes before allowing them to run away, still dripping a mix of blood and fluids from their eyes and blood from there stubs...
At least... Until she hunted them down and killed them...
The other was a psychological killer.
She has little cells prepared and left her victims inside, no light, little food, practically just air and water... And her cruel voice picking apart their psyche... Finding and cutting into weaknesses in their minds...
Most killed themselves by bashing their heads against the walls.
Others, that didn't, were forgotten; doomed to a lonely and cold grave...
Due to Guild Warfare over ever shrinking supplies, Gemini quickly gained influence in the Guild. They used this to forward their own ideals. Instead of trying to help people, why not use resources to kill aggressors? Instead of building sustainable technology, why not Lethal Autonomous Animatronics? As enemy hoards increased, the Leader was forced to allow more and more of Gemini's ideas to be put into action. But ze was firm in denying them the LAA.
Until their stronghold was breached and several Guildies were killed. Then all hell broke loose. A quick and minor mutiny later, construction was underway for the Guild. And... after many weeks of nonstop labor, it was complete. Named Flying Animatronic Lethal Long-distance Enemy Neutralizer, or FALLEN for short, the enormous robot was as big as small jet and had two head that shot lasers. The wickedly curved talons allowed for quick dismemberment of prey.
The FALLEN was also highly successful. All enemies fell, and the fear and power of Gemini grew. The few survivors spread stories far and wide of the sisters' cruelty, their laughter as the FALLEN vaporized people, or it's talons ripped them open with a sick wet squelch sound.
The sisters chafed under the kind and generous rule of their leader. They secretly planned a rebellion. The building began...
Not long after, the girls completed their army. Thousands of FALLEN... All powerful, all obedient... Only to Gemini of course!
And then the terror began...
They killed all whom opposed them...
Those whom were left await death... As Bird Food!
The End!
