I'm back! The story isn't going to follow the game exactly. Some things will happen a bit differently or a lot differently. :)
"I have no goddamn protection!" Amber shouted as she picked off a few more alien fucks.
She was nude. Fucking nude. Tits and all hanging out, just waiting to be fucking annihilated.
Why couldn't she have been in clothes? She'd be happy with just a bra and panties. Hell, she'd be fine if she just had fucking pasties to cover her nipples. Which happened to be very cold at the moment.
"Ha! Fuck you, you alien fuck!" she shouts while inching backwards.
"Where the hell are you, Kinzie?!" As if on cue, the ship pulled up behind the boss.
"Come on!" Keith David yelled over the chaos.
Amber sprinted towards the ship and jumped, extending her arm out to Keith who grabbed her with ease.
Keith helped her up and immediately turned away. "Oh, right. I'm naked as fuck."
"It's gone."
"No."
"Boss! Earth is gone!" Kinzie said louder.
"No, it's not! It didn't get sucked up by a fucking wormhole! It's like it just disappeared...turned invisible."
Kinzie stares at her in disbelief. "That's fucking crazy."
"All of this is fucking crazy! Being abducted by aliens is number one on the crazy list."
"And the Earth turning invisible is number two?!"
"Woah, calm down. At most it'd be three." Amber joked while receiving Kinzie's glare.
"Kinzie, it does make sense! Their technology is nothing like anything we've ever encountered Just think about it!"
"I am!" she shouts. "If their technology is as advanced as you think it is, then they do have the capability to destroy planets in the blink of an eye!"
Amber sighs. "And if that's not their intention?"
Kinzie's brow furrows. "What do you mean?"
"Zinyak's intentions. Maybe he felt threatened by us, the fact that we were evolving into such a powerful force. He wanted to stop us from getting stronger but he's keeping us around."
Kinzie pondered for a moment. "But why?"
"We would be good slaves? Or an ally?"
"Scare us into partnership. It makes sense. What happened to you thinking it was only about yourself?"
The boss smirked while shaking her head. "It's not all about me. But I think I play a big part in his plans."
"If he wants to enslave us, you'll be begging for a smaller part."
"I don't beg for anything from my enemies." Amber says darkly
"And if he's not an enemy?" Kinzie questions.
"If he tries to enslave us, he's our enemy. If he allies with us, we turn on him. Either way, he's our enemy."
Kinzie's eyes go wide. "You want to take out an entire race?!"
"Nah. If you kill a leader, what do the followers do? They scatter or they approve of the kill."
"Or they kill you because they're loyal to their previous leader."
Amber frowns and then shakes her head. She could take out an entire race if she had to. It'd take a lot of work and she would need an army of her own. She runs a hand through her hair and paces.
"Well, fuck. I don't know what else we could do."
"Boss, don't get me wrong, it's a good plan and I don't see any other options. But if we're going to take Zinyak down, we need the manpower and the firepower."
Silence fell upon the room as Amber and Kinzie thought of a way to get a capable army and weapons. It seemed impossible. It was impossible. The odds were not in their favor.
Amber's POV
"You need to go back into the simulation. We can weaken their defenses and you can get some of the crew back together. I've been trying to figure out Pierce and Shaundi's location in the simulation as well as out of it. I've had no luck so far."
Back? In the fucking simulation?! Fuck that place! But I have to go back. I can't just let them suffer like I did. It wouldn't be right. I thought they were dead. I remember little from when we were abducted.
The simulation fucked with my brain. Whenever I try to remember, my thoughts become clouded. I know that Zinyak attacked the Saints HQ and all of the people I cared about were being taken but then it gets fuzzy.
"Boss? You alright?" Kinzie asks, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Hm? Yea. I'm fine. Where's Keith? I want to talk to him."
"He probably went to bed. He refused to sleep until we got you out of the simulation. Which reminds me, you need rest too. I'll wake you up when I find something."
I nod slowly and stand up. "Hey, Kinzie?"
"Yea?" she says, never looking up from the computer screen. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
She looks down at her hands in an awkward manner.
"In the simulation...I saw what happened. With your mother. I just felt like you needed a break for once."
My smile turns into a goofy grin. "You're a real sweetheart, Kinzie."
"And now I'm done being nice." she smiles as she begins typing again.
I flop down on the bed and let out an exasperated sigh. My happy demeanor fading quickly. I feel violated. My fucking mind was toyed with! Waving Johnny right in front of my face just so I can have him ripped away from me again!
He's been gone for almost a year. Shaundi was trying to get me to open up and talk to her about it. But there was never any talking. Whatever other emotions I have about what happened get crushed by my anger.
And one day, Shaundi pushed too much and I lost it. I hit her again and again and again. I don't remember anything past the first punch.
Even after that, even after I gave her a swollen black eye and a busted lip, she still wanted to help me. And all I gave her was a mumbled apology.
Pierce barely talked to me after that. I deserved it. I deserve worse. He hated me for months and then eventually he apologized. Pierce apologized! To me! He did nothing wrong!
Shaundi and Pierce became dead-set on helping me after that. Didn't they understand that I didn't want to be helped? That I can't be helped?
I was getting tired of their efforts so I pretended to be okay. I pretended to be happy for them and for everyone else I cared about. But the happiness is a lie.
I was...I am a lost cause. There's barely any love left inside me. It's slowly being overcome by my rage and my obsessive need for violence.
"Fuck..." I sigh and roll over. I'm so tired but I know what happens when I sleep.
I relive Johnny's death every single time I sleep and every single time I can never make it back to him.
Maybe it'll be different this time...
Sorry for the wait! Writer's block is trying to fuck my shit up! But I'm fighting it! Yeyeyeyeye
