Chapter 2

The air was thick with tension, Ace and Akuma sent glare at each other while Evelyne kept to herself and Karl was being very silent leaving Angel to walk behind them with a frightened expression on her face as she watch them from behind. Her eyes shifted away and glance on her shoulder to see Quaid who was sending her a comforting smile as she smile back slightly before she was brought back when she heard her brother cussed angrily when she turned to see the problem her eyes widen to see a bridge that was filled with destroyed vehicles and the Glade Sky station hanging in the air beside the bridge had rails missing.

"The bridge is filled with fucking cars, we can't get past them without setting off a shitty alarm." Akuma mumbled as he scanned for any other way to across while Ace snorted angrily and went off to look for pathway himself leaving Karl, Angel and Evelyne who stood there watching the two walk around. "Karl get your ass here and help me!" Akuma snapped quietly but loud enough for Karl to hear as the blue haired male sighed and nodded before walking over to Akuma and help him with his search, Angel fidgeted beside Evelyne who was staring at Angel as if the blonde girl was scanning her entire feature and taking notes in her mind.

"Um… Is there something you need?" Angel mumbled in question as Evelyne nodded.

"How?" She softly asked as Angel's face turned in puzzled look before Evelyne sighed and looked to the side. "How do you stay so pure and innocent in this type of world? There so much blood and death how do you do it?"

"... I don't." Evelyne's eyes went towards Angel who turned her back on her, her voice was cold and menacing as the white haired female stared up to the sky with her back turned. "In this world there is no such thing as innocence, when they came it all died out and now… There is nothing left but death and betrayal." Her voice was dark as Evelyne's eyes widen when she saw Quaid's form fizzled into another form but it was blurry for her to make out the shape but her eyes quickly went back to Angel when she moved a bit and her eyes widen when she a golden eye staring back at her. "This world is gone, humans are dying one by one, by the monster, by strangers and even… By their closes friends and family. There is nothing left of this world but only remains of the dead that were left behind in the fields of death."

"What about paradise that Akuma said?" Evelyne questioned as she could only see the side view of the golden eye as Angel stared back. "Does it exist or is it another fool's gold?"

"Paradise that my brother is seeking does exist… The only place that this world has left to offer, a safe haven…. Sadly… It can only be used once… Once it's used, the people who are left behind in this world will die… The monsters will spread and even the strongest will die because the monsters they evolve, they mutate, they adapt and turned, they spread and nothing can stop them… No matter how strong… No matter how many bullets you fired, no matter where you tried to hide, they will be there… There will be one mutation that will be immune to all attacks and soon… That thing is coming and if we don't get to Paradise… Heh… You can say goodbye because they will not stop until every single one of us are dead." Angel smiled darkly before she turned her head away. "Remember this… Not every person who look innocent are innocent, even the kindest has the darkest secrets so be on your guard because there won't be a next time for you or your brother." Evelyne felt a lump in her throat as she watch Quaid's digital blur stopped and return him back to his original form and Angel who turned around a curious look on her face as her bright sky blue eyes stared at her. "Evelyne why do you look so pale?"

"You don't remember?" Lilith spoke as she glare at Angel who stare back questioningly.

"All I remember is Evelyne asking me about something and then I blanked out." She muttered as she tried to close her eyes and think really hard while Quaid give her a concerned look before she open her eyes and shook her head. "I'm sorry but I don't remember." Angel apologised before sound of Karl calling them brought their attention as Angel quickly rushed over with Evelyne walking behind her.

"Lilith what did you get?" Evelyne glance to her AI on her shoulder who had a puzzled expression on her face as she sent her master a puzzled look.

"I can't find anything, this status scan is just what a fragile person suppose to have, I can't find any trace of that coldness anywhere as if it had…. Vanished in thin air." Lilith spoke as Evelyne glance to see Ace and Akuma were choking each other very quietly before her eyes landed on Angel who was staring at the parted bushes that will take them down the steep hill. "We must be wary of her, right now she is the most dangerous if other AIs like myself can not detect that type of thing from her. So be alert Evelyne."

"Uwah who found this?" Angel muttered out as Karl pointed to Ace who was trying to kill Akuma while Akuma was trying to kill Ace. "Why are they trying to kill each other?" Karl shrugged and turned to grab the two idiots before pushing them as they tipped to the side before they fell and rolled on the steep hill and crashing into the giant river. "... Karl…"

"They were being loud."

"Pushing them makes it worse."

After dragging Ace and Akuma out of the river, the group continued on their journey unaware of rifle aiming right at them, tied up brown hair swayed lightly in the wind as midnight blue eyes narrowed and beside her on her shoulder was her AI. "Michele scan them all." She spoke coldly as the blonde AI nodded.

"The two male that have red eyes and the male with white hair are most dangerous, the blue one is in the middle, seem to be the type to attack if someone attack,it the same for the one in glasses but the white one… Her datascan say she can't even fight for her life." Michele said as her red eyes glance to see her partner tense at hearing someone weak still alive. "Alice what is your plan?"

"Tsk the girl seem happy around them, give me a scan on their relationships." Alice clicked her tongue as she kept the rifle pointing at them in a tree.

"The fragile girl and the red eyes boy are seem to be twins, the boy with white hair and the girl in glasses are siblings while the blue haired boy doesn't have relation with any of them but seem to be close with the light and dark twins mostly the female one." Michele stated as Alice felt her body tense again to hear that some family were alive and surviving together. "What should we do?"

Before Alice could react a rock was thrown straight at her and hit her in the forehead as she fell from the tree and crashed to the ground. "Good job sis." Akuma said quietly as he ran over with Ace by his side, Alice quickly got up but Ace had restrained her entire movement as Akuma picked up the rifle and slung it over his shoulder. "Alright Ace let get going, the loud crashed probably caught their attention towards here."

"I think your yelling also caught their attention."

"Shush let get going."Akuma snapped angrily as Alice glare at the two while she struggled from the restraint on her wrists but Ace's hands tighten around her wrist before he forcefully made Alice walk forward as she growled when Akuma set the rifle in Angel's who looked up curiously. "Hold on to this since out of everyone you aren't the one that usually shoot everyone." He muttered before he looked around. "Kira can you give us a route that will help us get across the river?"

"Why ask that weakling, I could do much better." Alpha appeared as Kira glare angrily at him.

"Shut it Legolas we don't need your stupid input." Alpha growled at the nickname as Kira and him head butted with other.

"There should be a wooden bridge nearby." Cobalt spoke as Karl thank his AI causing the fighting AI, Alpha and Kira to stop fighting as they huffed angrily while Lilith sighed, Michele snapping at Ace with threats while Quaid was smiling happily.

The group soon ignored the AIs and began to make their way to find the wooden bridge that had seen better days. "What do we do with the girl?" Evelyne questioned as her eyes landed on Alice who glared at her brother. "Do we leave her?" Akuma shooked his head and scan the area.

"No, she's coming with us." He spoke as he step a foot on the bridge while it give out a groan as if it was in pain. "This bridge seem to take only two people so we'll have to take it slow." He grumbled as he grabbed Alice and threw her over his shoulder. "You guys go first."

"I could handle her!" Ace snapped as Akuma glared back.

"You have a sister to watch over that why I'm holding her, and before you said I have a sister to watch over too but if this bitch decide to backstab us in anyway with those things, I'm dragging her down with me and Karl there to protect Angel." Akuma said as he pushed Ace on to the bridge with Evelyne. "Also don't think about destroying that bridge, I'm going to grab that rifle in my sis's hand and shoot you dead if you do that but if you want to run away be my guest."

"You don't care if we bring those things over?" Ace snarled at Akuma who shrugged his shoulder.

"If those things come because of you two, it's safe to say you're both dead." Akuma answered as he looked behind him while Alice struggle restlessly in his grip. "I also want to find spot to camp, those shit heads are probably going to hunt us down if we don't." He grumbled as his eyes turned to stare as the sun was setting.

The group had found a old abandoned cabin and quickly settled in as the sun was gone and the full moon rising high. Alice had kept to herself and glare at everyone as her rifle was out of reach, while Ace and Evelyne huddle together and talk quietly with one of another leaving Akuma to nap away as Angel and Karl glance at the people around the room. "To paradise… No more death, no more fear, no more running… Once paradise is in our grasp, we'll escape." Angel mumbled loudly as she leaned on Karl. "No more bloodshed, no more betrayals because Paradise will take us to the safe haven we have all wished for." She muttered before staring at Alice, Ace and Evelyne. "Paradise exist…. Paradise is the only shot we have left to survive in this world." She closed her eyes and fell asleep leaving the group in silence.

"Well how about all of you sleep and I'll keep watch." Karl said as some give him skeptical glare. "It's up to you if you want to trust me or not but right now we're stuck together and I don't want anyone to be exhausted if they come." He said as Alice huffed in annoyance before she turned away and laid on the wooden floor while Ace sighed before he wrapped his arms around Evelyne and dragged her to lie down before he fell asleep.

I feel like my brains is lemons and I'm squeezing the shit out of my brain to make lemonade.
