Storming into his room, Kronos shut the door violently behind him, 'how dare that old sack talk to me like I am trash!'
Never liking to be controlled his skin itched to get revenge which was impossible do he picked the other option.
Kronos turned to face the room. Messy as always. Around the room where technology, made out of scraps but still advanced in it's own way. On the table was a pack of wires and chewing gum.
Kronos picked up the gum, tore apart the nylon and put it in his mouth. "Damn, why does it taste like shit!" He chewed with detest frowning and walking to his bed to sit.
"Bro you are back," jumping from his bed and pouncing on him was a little kid wearing inventors goggles on his head and the same material of Kronos's cloth. His hair was also white like Kronos and face almost identical, this as his seven year old brother Arnah.
"Shit Arnah I am not in the....." Not given enough time to complete his sentences his teeth were magically frozen by the gum he put in it, "uhhhhhhhhmmmmm!" He panicked trying his best to force it to break and also scream.
"Oh you are the gum," Arnah proceeded with no daze in his tone picking a pen from his pocket and grabbing Kronos to stop, he placed the pen on the gum and secreted a liquid that instantly made the gum fall off in pieces.
Spit! Kronos ducked his head "what the heck was that Arn?"
Arnah furrowed his eyes at his brother's exaggeration before explaining, "An object at rest will remain that way and so is motion until a force is acted upon it, I invented this gum to stop movement if it can react with air to increase in size."
"BUZZZZ! Bzzzzzzzzz!" Kronos's eyes zoned out not understand any word his brother understood. This was basically overloading time.
Doesn't this kid know I dropped out if studies or is he oppressing me with all this nonesense?
"Why do you have to be so stupid?" Arnah left the bed walking to the table.
"Sorry but I am a delinquent!" Kronos grabbed hard to his chest as though taking a pledge. How blunt of him.
There was shuffling from above since it was a bunk bed and out came a girl dropping down to the ground softly because of the lack of stairs to meet Kronos.
The girl had long yellow hair, wearing a short pink top and short trousers, not to forget they were patched and unkept.
"You fool, don't you understand Vega doesn't want you to become one? The world is dangerous out there!" She scolded.
Although it all backfired.
"Maybe if I could ale over the outside world with a group of delinquent and bring a greater age where Arnah is gonna create tech and you gonna lead us, with the rest following after us! It's so dreamy isn't it Rita?" He was really enthralled by this idea which was suicidal to Rita.
Rita shifted her gaze to the second bunk bed fat off in the room before whispering to Kronos, "there are scary story of this world, beyond Sky city and Dark lands there is actually land past there."
"Then that would be delinquent city....."
"Shut it idiot!" Rita spouted cutting Kronos off, "many centuries back at the twenty second century where men like us but with better standards, they called their lands continent and had many cities and lands, it was peaceful as humans had all the technology and magic at their grasp and no crime could be committed....."
Rita's face was suddenly replaced with a scowl and sense of horror, "aliens from out there came and after a mighty war the world was almost destroyed, up till now no one knows what might be out there after Sky city and the dark lands, some say aliens, others complain of mutants, and others say magic, but whatever it is there is a reason why the Sky city haven't conquered there..... So now, you understand..."
"Pfffff! Heheheheheheheh! I bet you heard that from old man Carak! I see you following in his footsteps!" Kroson burst into laughter turning on his side and rolling on the bed. Old man Carak was a genius who helped Vega with his tech modification however was crazy and on every tenth day of the month he is said to go really crazy running the streets of the road stack naked..... That was not a beautiful sight at all.
"You bastard!" She jumped on him tackling and restraining his movements. " Stubborn bastard! Go die!"
"Would you guys keep it down!"
The gave aoment to stop their hassling as they saw the remaining two with Arnah.
One was tall and bulky, having short green hair, a car filled face and a mean demeanor, he was Morak and Rita's spec, crush, or whatever.
Still don't see what she sees in him though.
Beside him was Capitan wearing his recommended glasses, skinny in his brown formerly white singlets and over sagged trousers. The genius and Arnah's mentor.
They seemed to be working on something really important.
Soon enough Rita and Kronos went to join the group. At the table was a dark robot like glove, made out of good materials, not just scraps but looked really expensive.
"What is this, it looks like Vega's glove?" Kronos asked mesmerized and wanting the glove already since it would make him more alike with his mentor.
Arnah took the glove into his grasp and handed it to Kronos, "uhm, it's my birthday..... I was thinking I would give you something to look a bit more like Vega...."
Birthdays were not normally celebrated in the Dark lands so the only group that did were here.
Kronos didn't hesitate to take the glove and put it on, for a while it seemed too big but soon enough grew smaller into a nice fit to him. "Whoa thank you."
Kronos planted his hand into his pocket bringing out a necklace with a ring ornament on it, handing it to Arnah. "Do you like it?"
Arnah being the child he was nodded vigorously quickly grabbing and putting it on, "it's nice."
Of course it was, that ring cost a thousand Acentrous.
Rita leaned in and whispered into Kronos's ear.
"That is Vega's ring, he did you get it?"
Kronos had a swift flashback of the punch he took from Vega when he grabbed the ring before speaking, "well it was one hell of a hit."
"So do you wanna play Vega and the delinquents?" Morak was jumpy and hopefulfor a yes. How lowered the expectations of Kronos went after hearing this.
I still don't know what Rita sees in this bastard.
"No, it's time we become real delinquent, no we will become..... What word can we use?" He pointed at Capitan.
"What about the Mech soldiers?" Capitan replied instate getting the interest of the entire group.
"That's on point," Rita giggled placing her hands on the waist liking where this was going.
"If we can't become great delinquents here, neither can we go to the beyond, then we will become the Mech soldiers and raid the Sky city!" Kronos aspirations as usual dulled the group at his final words. What sort of mad man would want to enlist that type of work?
"Here we go with your madness!" Rita hissed prepping o listen to another on of Kronos's mad ideas.
"Is that really safe?" Arnah was concerned knowing how much if a treacherous act it was.
"Sky city has always been above, discriminating and planning to exploit us delinquent, why don't we do the same?" Kronos pointed to Capitan and then his brother, "both of you are lead scientist, Mech engine or whatever, up there has tech so advanced that your mouth would leak piss for, Morak up there is adventure beyond washing your butt and tasting your piss every morning and yes I see you do it everyday, it's disgusting and piss isn't water."
Morak shrugged having his all favorite secret blurted out to the world.
Kronos stopped at Rita having limited words to her complex nature, "uhm, if you go I will marry you and....."
"No!"
Shit she was already being difficult without having to hear him say his entire sentence.
"What if I promised you a change of life and....."
"No Kronos."
"Please...."
"Yes, just because you begged stubborn fool!" She laughed at him as he reddened in embarrassment. This time she had won a the brawl. "And don't forget seen you when you check the size of your thing, not even up to one millimeter....."
"Hey! Hey, that's not the matter we are talking about, don't go talking about up close and personal stuff!" Kronos swiftly shut her up knowing the path that topic led to was dreadful to hear.
"But is that fair?" Morak was cheated bit knew there was limited to say to the stubborn fool, english could easily become fly noises to his ear.
"So how does this go Kon?" Capitan asked pocketing his hands, likewise he craved for the gears and parts he was missing and wouldn't hesitate to get them.
Kronos grinned widely happy to hear so, "I know a guy that would sneak us in, and he is totally trustworthy, don't worry he would help us not get caught and succeed in all missions."
"Who is this person Stubborn fool?" Rita was also enthralled by the topic now.
"He said is a friend of Vega, he called himself mhhmmmm... What was it again?"
"Oh yeah, his name is..."
"Zekah."
