The next day.
Overheat walked into the tent where Terabyte and LockJaw was staying.
" Goooood moooorning, lovely day isn't it ? The sun is shining and the sky is clear, today is perfect "
He ask while dancing around like a ballet with a happy expression on his face. He open his eyes and his expression turned to shock. Terabyte was in the tent in her underwear when he walked in on her. She slowly turned red and started throwing things at him.
" GET OUT YOU PERVERT! "
" Please wait i didn't mean to "
Overheat backed out of the tent and a iPad slammed right in his face. He fell over on his back unconscious with blood gushing out of his nose. Lockjaw stood over him and looked into the tent. Terabyte walked out of the tent fully dressed and she looked at him intensely
" What are you looking at?! "
Terabyte ask LockJaw and walked passed him. she stopped beside Overheat, had one last look at him before she stepped in his chest waking him up again and walked away. Overheat got up and rubbed his bleeding nose.
" Ow, that girl has the throw of a professional baseball pitcher.....hey wait up "
Overheat got up and chased after her. Terabyte continue to walk and as she walked she continues to think about what she saw last night.
- Why was a so shock when I saw them both kissing ? there is burning sensation in my chest and I don't know what it is -
Terabyte was confused about these new feeling swelling up inside her and decided to shrug it off.
" No use thinking about it, We have our mission "
" Hey can't you slow down, I'm sorry that was an accident, I didn't mean to walk in on you "
Overheat ask.
" I don't want to hear anything from you pervert, did you get the ring from Merona "
Terabyte ask.
" Actually I didn't but I am getting close, we are going to see eachother today again so I guess that's progress. don't worry I'll have that ring in no time "
" Wow, I can't believe a girl likes you, that's a miracle unto itself "
" Hey don't make fun of me, it could happen "
The three returned to the top of the pyramid, the moment they arrived overheat was greeted with a warm hug from Merona.
" I'm so glad you came, I missed you so much "
She looked up at him with eyes filled with affection. Overheat remember what happened between them last night and he blushed.
" I-I missed you too, hey we came to get the ring, you promised that if I spend time with you, I would get the ring remember "
" Yes but once you get it you'll return to America won't you "
" Yeah, I guess so "
" I don't want you to leave yet, please stay with me even for a few more days "
Overheat look into Merona's eyes and find that he couldn't say now. His evil side was telling him to forget saving the world, this was his big chance to get with a hot chick and his good side was telling him that billions of lives are at stake here to save the world from destruction a sacrifice has to be made and that includes love . Overheat didn't know what to do, the balance on his choices was tilting left to right.
" please stay "
Merona said, overheat noticed that her breast was pushing up again his chest and so his choice became clear.
" Don't worry I'll stay with you "
He said while bleeding from his nose with a happy smile on his face. Terabyte was suprised in hearing his decision.
" What you can't be serious, you're going to ditch your responsibilities for a chick who likes you , are you out of your mind "
" Hey stay out of this, this is my chance okay. Besides Genesis is there with you he's can handle everything on his own "
" You are really an idiot you know that "
" Don't call him an idiot ! "
Merona shout.
" Overheat smart and a capable person. He also human and humans have desires. So for him to put his desires over his responsibilities is perfectly normal. Why do you want to control him , are you his lover or something "
She ask.
Terabyte blushed and started deny everything.
" Are you crazy, who would be in love with an idiot like this, I know I don't even like this incompetent fool "
She said.
" If that's how you feel then it's obviously clear, Overheat you're more than welcome to stay here with me, with someone who treats you with the respect you deserve "
Merona suggest
Overheat didn't hesitate to agree with Merona. It seems Terabyte really things that he's incompetent and that hurts his feelings.
" It's best if you guys go awag and never come back, I don't want to hang around people who treats me like I'm nobody "
He said.
" Tch, Overheat you're really going to do this, fine be my guest, When she dumps you don't come running back to us "
Terabyte left without saying another word and LockJaw went with her. Overheat watched the two of them walk away and felt saddened. Merona placed her hand on his cheek and turned her head towards him.
" Don't worry, I'll give you all the love that you deserve okay "
She hugged him and placed her head on his chest, nobody saw the sinister smile that appears on her face. Lockjaw was driving the jeep over the Sandy road. He looked at Terabyte who was looking through the window.
" RRRRRRR, that's idiot, how could someone be stupid to fall for her !"
She shouts.
Her phone rings and she checked it,it was a call from nightshade.
>> Hey did you get the shard? <<
" No we didn't, that idiot Overheats is making out with Merona right now so we ditched him "
>> Oh Ho, that's interesting... Anyways forget about the shard we have bigger issues and I'm sending you a video footage right now <<
A video was sent to terabyte tablet and she checked it. She was shocked to see what was on the video. A ship half the size of new york floating over the city.
" What kind of ship is that? "
>> base on Artemis, it's the queen warship, it's capable of wiping out a Sector in one blow. Lucky for us it hasn't made any moves yet but still you need to get here as soon as possible <<
" Okay, we are on our way "
Terabyte hangs up.
" Aren't you going back for him? "
Lockjaw ask.
" Tch, why should I ? the guy already made up his mind "
" But are you willing to let him be taken away? "
" What are you getting at? "
Terabyte ask after finding his word highly suspicious.
" Tera, you like him don't you ?"
Lockjaw ask.
" W-what makes you think I like an idiot like that, he's foolish and unworthy "
" I've know you for a very long time Terabyte and I've seen how you interact with others. I've seen the way you act around, Genesis and the others "
" Yeah that's who I am "
" Tell me, have you mock the others the way you mock Overheat, do you complain about the others the way you complain about him ?"
Lockjaw ask.
Terabyte thought about it and she doesn't remember calling the others a fool or anything. She only makes fun of overheat for being a fool but she doesn't find that to be suspicious
" So what, there is nothing wrong with that, he just get on my nerves "
" Then how did you felt when you saw him together Merona? "
"How should I feel, he found a girl who likes him so what. That doesn't mean that I...like him "
Terabyte fell silent upon realizing something. She started to remember everything she has done so far and couldn't believe herself. The pain she felt when she saw him kiss Merona is still hurts and she soon realized that the emotion she was feeling was Jealousy.
- Do I like him?, this is crazy, how could I like someone like him... ? -
Terabyte got her nail in frustration.
" Tera ?"
" Aw man this is unbelievable, I'm such a idiot "
Terabyte rub her head with both hand frivolously.
Overheat stand at the top of the pyramid looking out at the desert. Something was weighing heavily on his mind. Suddenly he felt Merona's hand hugging him from behind.
" Are you worried about something? "
She ask.
" I felt that I'm the wrong decision "
" Don't worry you haven't made the wrong decision. I'm sure of it, why don't I put your mind at ease "
Merona kissed him once again and looked him in the eyes.
" From the moment I layed my eyes on you i knew you were the one for me. Overheat I-I-I'm in love with you and want you to be by my side "
Suddenly a bullet was fired at her and she dodge it with ease. The shooter was terabyte pointing a pistol at merona.
" I'm sorry b*tch but he's not going anywhere with you "
