Traitor to the Cause

by Keeper of Tomes

Once a traitor, always a traitor." The words bit. They stung his skin, like needles. Millions of tiny, razor sharp needles. He glared at the speaker with needless fury. And the speaker glared back...Drabbles, again. It has a plot, this time!

24. Too Late

The girl grabs her staff.

"No, no, no..." He hisses at her, not at Cyclonis, but his former Master doesn't notice.

"Sniveling for your life, aren't you, you dirt bag?" And she raises her staff, not to fire, but to stab.

Perhaps she just needed to see some guts fly...

And then the girl comes up from behind and blasts Cyclonis in the back.

"AARGH!"

"NO! GET BACK TO THE MACHINE!" He pulls himself up, but the pain is too great, and he falls back to the ground.

"Too late," the kid mutters.

Cyclonis turns towards the girl, and this time, her fury has a new target.

Oh...this isn't good.
