Empty Spaces
Grinning smiles and clanking guns ranged like moonlight rays over the trapped travelers. Kei and Kevin stayed back holding each other tightly, feeling each other's sweat trickle down their trembling lips. Escape was out of the question, and Kei knew all too well any attempt would be fatal. Every square inch of the roof top was covered with BCAN storm troopers, armed to teeth with all sorts of weaponry. "Where the hell is the 3WA?" Kei said.
Scolaris smirked "This pitiful game has gone on far too long for my tastes, our orders state that we bring you Kevin back alive. But there are no such mutual directions towards your hot headed little friend there, KILL HER". Immediately seeing the soldiers target their laser blasters, shot guns, pistols, and rifles at Kei, Kevin opened his brown flight jacket arms to block her. "Shoot her and you lose your meal ticket too" Kevin stated with a bold tone.
"Kev if your trying to impress me or something this is not the time, what the HELL are you doing?" Kei asked nervously. "Just because we need that formula of yours doesn't mean we won't blast you" Orion said coldly. The blur haired boy blinked brown eyes in confusion, "What formula? I don't know any formula or secret code or anything like that" Kevin said loudly. Scolaris and Orion gasped and stared with widening eyes and jaws at that.
Kei's Thoughts
This is has got to be a trick. Kevin has got to know SOMETHING, it just doesn't make any sense though. He's got no reason to lie to me. But how in the world can he even be here unless he's got some information about that new energy source? I.that look on his eyes.he really DOESN'T know the formula. He's telling the truth!
The soldiers flinched and immediately jerked their weapons and rifles back onto Kei and Kevin. A furiously enraged Scolaris stormed towards Kevin and violently jerked Kevin up Kei screamed "No stop HE'S TELLING UGH". Orion hissed as she plowed her knee directly into the lovely angel's chest, Kei's words came out in gurgled grunts of pain and mumbling. Kevin watched in horror as Kei weakly dropped to her tanned knees before Orion.
A slap smacked Kevin's face back to the cold burning angry eyes of Scolaris. "Don't you dare start shitting me you miserable little pain in the ass, you've caused far too much trouble to start lying to us now. The time for that is over. Now tell me or you can tell my boss before you guts you like a fish, SPILL I want the energy formula right NOW". Flaring his brown eyes wide open, a fearless Kevin screamed "I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING".
Blue hair ends dropped tiny droplets of sweat as Kevin panted at the cold hearted commander's face. Even Scolaris could tell the truth in such desperation of a being's face and words. Kevin continued "I'm the son of 2 scientists that work on Horizatonics. After countless attacks on the company, they went into hiding I wasn't aware of anything that was happening. The company kept everything they were doing a secret, even to their workers.
One morning I awoke with news from my parents, they said they wanted me to leave the company for safety measures. They never stated why but just told me they wanted me safe no matter what. The 3WA was hired to protect me but they were unable to specify why I was to be protected so closely. Obviously it's not just because my parents loved me, if so you wouldn't be here chasing after me. You're both after some new energy source they have.
But I'm afraid I don't know a thing about it, anything and everything involving this energy source was kept out of my knowledge. In other words commander I'm no more useful to you then you are to your boss", Scolaris simply frowned and tossed Kevin to the ground. Black gloves fingers clench shark dark blonde hair as Scolaris screamed a mighty howl of rage. Orion screeched "I don't believe it, all that shit and for what NOTHING AT ALL".
Rainbow colored beads bounced as Orion charged her blaster and hatefully aimed it at Kevin's right wide brown eye. "I should kill you just for wasting our time" Orion said, "If you let Kei live you can go ahead and do it" Kevin replied. "NO, no, don't you dare do this to me Kevin I swear to god, DON'T DO THIS" Kei pleaded on the verge of tears. Orion's pink eyes clenched tightly as she was seconds away from drenching her rage in Kevin's blood.
A glare of light suddenly sparkled in Kevin's eye, but it wasn't sunlight. "What the?" Orion stammered as something had caught her own hot pink pupils, Scolaris blinked oddly at his partner's actions. Slowly the female agent dropped her weapon and extended a gloved hand to Kevin's face, Kevin recoiled back a bit. "Penelope what in blazes are you doing?" Scolaris demanded. Black fingertips grasp over the wet flesh of Kevin's right eye.
Suddenly something soft and foil like was removed from his brown eye. Orion gasped as she stared blankly at her finger tips, there was a contact lens in her hand but it wasn't a contact lens for vision. Inside the base of the lens is what appeared to be a microchip, a sort of miniature film chip. Kei gasped "Kev was telling the truth, he didn't know the energy formula at all. The Horizatonics people planted a chip with the formula on it over his eye lid.
It's all there in that little piece of foil, and Kevin had it all along without ever knowing" Kei whispered softly. Quickly dropping Kei, Scolaris laughed a cackle of glee at sight of Orion's discovery. "YEAH HA, HA we did it, we finally did it the energy formula is ours and ours alone" Scolaris laughed. The commander eagerly grabbed his communicator and started to dial up to their boss, whirring helicopter blades started to charge up to speed.
With the energy formula in their hands, perhaps they wouldn't need to worry about dealing with Kei or Kevin anymore. Slowly Kevin lifted his head upward, seeing the soldiers quickly flurrying on board their choppers. "Hey what's that sound? Is it? It is! Kev look up in the sky it's the 3WA, looks they finally got their asses in rescue mode" Kei beamed as she stood up. Smiles painted Kevin's face as he waved his hands into the air with cheers.
"Hey were down here, hurry maybe you can catch the huh?" suddenly Kevin's words were cut short. The boy felt a pair of tapping fingers on his brown flight jacket shoulders, he turned expecting to be greeted by Kei. But instead a pistol was aimed directly at the base of his forehead, Kevin was frozen in fear. Blue hair and brown eyes sweated furiously at the gun barrel, Orion smirked "That means you're no longer useful to us..bye, bye".
BANG!
The loud shot screamed across the sound waves, silence soon followed.
Kei's smiling tanned cheeks turned towards Kevin, and they slowly became an open gasp. Tears suddenly started to form and pour out of her trembling green eyes, Kei felt sick, very cold, and very sick. Kevin's body dropped with a loud thud, blood trickling out of the hole in his forehead. Smoke sizzling out of the gun Orion held, matching the bullet in Kevin's skull. Scolaris gasped "AHHHHH Orion what the hell have you done GAH".
"I just made our job easier commander, we didn't need him. We got the formula and now were one less punk shorter then before, I guarantee Mr. Grishtar will be pleased" Orion said. Scolaris and Orion quickly followed on board of the chopper and were soon sky born in their retreating helicopters. Leaving Kei falling to her tanned knees, eyes unable to stop staring, lips frozen in horror, not a single thought or word formed in her broken heart.
The blowing jets of the cool air wind breezed against her fiery hair and bare legs, but Kei didn't even blink. The copter emptied out the 3WA troopers with Poporo and Yuri charging right along side of them. "Hey all right looks like Kei is just fine chief and" Yuri suddenly stopped and gasped out loud. Poporo was speechless, the hot sweat trickled off his black bald head. Winds breezed over Kevin's clothes, laying there lifelessly as Kei approached.
Kei blinked "Kev...hey Kev..Kevin you there?...come on.Kevin.why aren't you smiling...why aren't you talking...why aren't you hugging me..why aren't you holding me..Kevin...why...why..WHY GOD DAMMIT".
WHYYYYYY?
