Chapter Six: All for the Power
"The humans are attacking the factory with their guns and pointless crap, we should hurry back."
RedGlare says patting Lexis shoulder. Get your hand off of me. The only reason I'm nice to such a git like you is because you could help my career. Lexi only smiles on the outside, though it didn't matter, she knew the blind freak couldn't see her.
"Then let's hurry."
Skrell sighs leaning back against Zane. He sighs again then looks above him at the Gemini who was starring out the window. From the certain angle he was at, Zane wasn't so beguiling, so he sat up instead and turns to face Zane who shifts his gaze to the ground.
"You won't even look me in the eyes anymore? I mean...it's not like I even did anything, but if the whole reason why your avoiding eye contact is because you do want something-"
"Shut up. I don't want anything from you."
Skrell leans back on his elbows, kicking his legs out from under him and laying them on either side of Zane to better comfort himself. He motions his head to one side with a grin on his face.
"Sit there, I feel a little too exposed to you like this."
Skrell chuckles, Zane rolls his eyes but moves over as he was ordered. Skrell looks up at Zane who sits with his legs crossed and starring off in thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
Skrell asks watching the Gemini carefully. Zane simply shrugs, leaning forward, propping his elbows on the side of his knees and resting his chin in his palms.
"Pyra right?"
Skrell answers looking away. Zane sighs, rolling his eyes again.
"Why don't you just sneak Luna out?"
Zane asks after a long while of silence. Skrell snorts, sitting up and gazing at Zane.
"Why if you love her so much do you try to get someone she's in love with back to her?"
Skrell asks. After a while of silence he continues.
"I mean, I don't see what's so great about Pyra anyways. She's always saying crap about Luna infront of you, doesn't that irritate you? It irritates me when she does that crap."
"All I want is for her to be happy-"
"SHE IS HAPPY. She doesn't need your help Dove. She's got some one who she loves and loves her back. What about you huh?"
Zane turns and glares at Skrell.
"I don't need you to worry about me-"
"Then who? You're not doing it."
They both glare at eachother in silence, their chests heaving in anger. Then Skrell leaps forward and tackles Zane onto his back, enveloping his lips with the others. Zane fights back immediately, slamming his fists against Skrells face, knocking him back.
Lexi walked down the hallways that were currently being painted over in reds, maroons, browns, and yellows. She had the clearest idea on who was at the end of the hallway but he wasn't her destination. Once reaching the door she turns directly infront of it and slams it open. Sitting at oppisite sides of the room were two angry, bruised trolls.
"Skrell, why are you fighting with a slave? The military's down here and all you want to do is beat on a weakling?"
"What do you expect me to do? They sent the marines and shit."
Lexi rolls her eyes.
"Get down here, before I kill you."
Lexi growls leaving the two. She hurries further down the hallways, absent mindedly picking her favorite splatter of blood. Finally she slams open the last door before the corner and enters. Luna was no where in the room, nor in the coon or closet. Lexi storms out slaming her fist against the door as she did so.
"You!"
Lexi screams pointing at one of the slaves, she hurries over to her and bows slightly.
"Y-yes-"
"Tell RedGlare I want her to find Luna and hang her, and I want it done before she..."
Lexi smiles to herself.
"No, tell her to follow Luna until she's found Pyra and the others, then tell her I want them all hung. Understood?"
The slave girl nods then hurries off in the direction Lexi was headed. Bastards, how come one thinks he can slack off and the other thinks she can run off? Pyra, you're the head of my problems. I am going to de-cap-it-tate you.
When she reached the outer walls of the factory she was greeted by the thickness of smoke and loud booms. She grunts and storms over to Condences side, who stood calmly watching as the trolls took out the majority of the soldiers, yet some of them falling due to the bullets. Once sencing her arrival Condence turns to her and bows her head, Lexi doing the same.
"Are we losing or winning?"
"Winning of course, the foolish humans stand no chance."
Lexi grins from ear to ear, her blood beginning to boil, she was having the hardest time staying cool. She wanted to slice though the humans below her, she knew she could do it.
"Reklin made these for you, they're made out of a Pisces's set of bones."
Concence says handing Lexi a pair of pitch black claws that almost felt like iron. Lexi grins widely and turns back to Condence.
"I'm guessing the messy black haired guy is Reklin. What about you?"
Condence only smirks and points ahead.
"Go kill for me."
For my throne you fool.
For the blood.
For the thrill I get at hearing them scream.
For the stinging wounds I get from not dodging quickly enough.
For the thought of killing Pyra.
Pyra and all those fools who defy, even Skrell.
Any reason but for you.
A loud boom is heard, like thunder, or lightning, and the sky is painted over in blue. Smoke rises from the ground, but not the soldiers who fell. Lexi stares amased at the ashed bodies on the ground before her. She quickly looks over her shoulder and up at Condence. The Pisces held a giant golden tridant over her head with what seemed to be blue electricity sparking from the sharp tips. Condence looks down at Lexi and grins widely.
That Tridants mine. As soon as she's gone, I'll have that Tridant and all the fucking power. Hehheh, I always knew I was better than Pyra and all of our low class friends, that being said only prooves my point.
Lexi grins back as the images of killing Pyra and her friends rush through her mind.
"Hahahhahahhahaaaaaa!"
Lexi breaks out into a loud hysterical laughter, kicking a body on the ground and screaming in joy.
