Chapter 4: Sister Dearest
The sun had risen the next morning. It was only a few hours after dawn and Slox was just waking up. He yawned and looking in the mirror. He smiled in vain and straightened his hat. He ran into the living room to look for his brother. He wasn't there.
A short distance away from the house, Volc sat atop a large hill. His eyes were concentrated on a large headstone. The headstone read 'Kiki Kohory', who was, in fact, Volc's older sister. Volc picked a nearby flower and placed in on the headstone as he tried to hold back a tear. He rested his head on the back of the headstone and closed his eyes.
"Sis," he said with a slight whimper to his voice. "I miss you more and more each day." He sighed and slowly drifted back to sleep.
In his dream, Volc finds himself a young child of the age of 12. Instead of his shack of a home, he is in a large house. A tall, young woman of about 18 walks up to him and pats his head. She had bubblegum pink hair and deep blue eyes. She smiled happily, placing a warm hand on Volc's small shoulder.
"How are you feeling today, brother?" Said the girl with a soft, motherly tone.
"Fine, Kiki!" Volc answered enthusiastically
The girl smiled and giggled softly, giving him one last pat on the head before heading to the garage. Volc soon followed after her.
He ran to the garage to see Kiki pull a large tarp off of a blue plane. It was unlike any plane Volc had ever seen. Instead of propellers or a jet engine, this plane flew using an anti-gravity hovering motion. It picked up speed using two large engines on either side of the tail. On the side of the plane, painted in big gold letters, was the plane's name, the Helena. Kiki smiled and opened up the plane's engine to show a large black generator. Inside floated a black cube. Black antimatter floated through the wires and into the rest of the ship. She smiled and gave Volc a small kiss on the cheek before hopping into the plane.
"I'll be back before dinner! I'm just going to take Helena for a test run!" She yelled to Volc, and signaled to Volc to move. Volc ran back into the house and watched from the window as the plane shot into the air.
Kiki, from the plane, smiles watching the house disappear. She smiled and watched all the gauges. Suddenly, her smile turned to a frown and panic. A siren sounded and red lights began to flash. The power in the cockpit had shut down.
"SHIT!" She screamed and began pressing buttons. The danger was coming from the generator, that black box. It overloaded and was in critical condition.
Meanwhile, Volc watched the plane disappear into the clouds. Just before it was out of view, the plane vanished in a fiery explosion.
Volc awoke in a cold sweat. He looked up to see his brother looming over him.
"Thinking of her, aren't you?" Slox said with a calming tone.
"Yeah…" Volc sighed, with tears in his eyes. "Why did she have to die? Why did she need to experiment with such an unstable power? It took her life, the ultimate price."
"She did it for science, to follow in dad's footsteps. You know that."
"It doesn't make it any less painful." Volc closed his eyes again and banged his head against the headstone. Slox placed his hand on his brother's shoulder for comfort.
"It's alright man, it's alright."
