Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 6- Aftermath
Battery City: Hyper Thrust
I am still alive? The explosion was the most horrific thing I have ever experienced. The sound, the flash of light that I could see even though my eyes were closed and the heat, that was the worst part as it swept over me a never-ending fierce wave. I felt as if I was going to die. I can feel my body slowly rising and falling so I must be breathing, that's good. Can I move? I try flexing my hands and feet. Yes, they can, that means I must not be that seriously injured. I blink and look up; the world around me comes into more focus. The blast from the explosion has completely destroyed the sound system, the cabinet and the small stage it was standing on.
I get up into a seating position and I realize that it also took out part of the back wall and made a section of the side wall to collapse. I need to get out before anything else happens.
Standing up, although my legs feel like liquid they hold my weight, I slowly begin to walk to the exit. As I walk I notice that people are stirring, but I can't help them. At least they are alive because it appears that many more are dead. How could my brother do this? I must find him.
…
Battery City: Safe Distance from the blast
He was shaking and trying to comprehend what he had just done. Cherri Cola was in front of him trying to calm him down, but it wasn't working. He had just sentenced a whole room of people to death. He was so distraught that he didn't even notice someone was striding up the street towards them.
Cherri Cola however, did. He noticed the figure was a teenager, and had to step back as the teen pushed past him to reach the kid.
"How could you?!" The teen asked gripping the collar of the young Killjoy.
Looking up Caustic Robin replied, "You…You don't understand! They kill people! The Drac's, the exterminators… out in the Zones… Every day!" That's when his voice broke and he succumbed to tears. "Even kids, younger than us! Better Living Industries is-"
The older youth embraced the younger, and said in a tone of desperation yet understanding "I know. I know." There was a period of quietness as silent tears were shed. The two boys obviously knew each other, possibly related. When they stopped Cherri Cola asked, "So, both of you are…?"
"We are brothers." They both said in unison.
Cherri Cola smiled and nodded. He could see it now; see the similarities between them, as the brothers hugged a second time.
A person with red hair appeared from the car that was parked half a metre away, "Hey Cola, catch!" Cherri Cola caught the object that was thrown to him. They were keys.
"Poison, what are these for?"
"Take them." Poison nodded towards the boys.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Take the van." The van that Poison was referring too was parked across the street from the car.
"I know you." The older brother stopped hugging his sibling and called out to Poison, "You were the one who did that speech at the nightclub."
"Sorry, about your friends." Poison said.
"They weren't my friends."
"It was sort of necessary." Party Poison continued as though nothing was said, "We are trying to find one of ours. A young Killjoy a few years younger than your age. BL/Ind took her to their headquarters, do you know where that it?"
"Yes. It is that big white building with their logo on it at the heart of the city."
"Thank you. Right, Cherri Cola take the kids back, get them to safety."
"You don't need my help?"
"Nah, we're fine. Kobra Kid, Jet Star, Fun Ghoul and I can handle it. Go."
"Okay then. I will send back up."
"Whatever. Go." Party Poison repeated the last word.
The two brothers followed Cherri Cola to the van. Cherri Cola was kind and would keep them safe. As long as they were together they didn't care where they went.
A/N: That's the end of my fanfic. I am guessing that you all know what comes after? The Killjoy's go to the headquarters and rescue the girl.
Also, i have written in my take on the absence of Cherri Cola in the 'Sing' video. I know it's different in the comics.
Tell me if you like it or not and don't be afraid to review or comment on the other chapters.
Thanks for reading!
