Chapter Five: Retribution
-
Odysseus scoffs. “Lies. All of it. Genetic Advancement?! Is that what they told you?! That was a ploy by Midzog. Other names were used to. Order for Generational Architects. Outlook Guardian Alliance. OGA has only one true meaning though, one that Ozymandias always planned. One of his little ironies. No, now OGA means this: Ozymandias Genocidal Army. Only capable of one thing; destruction. And yet… You are rather special. You were the unexpected variable.” Odysseus pauses. “Do you believe in forgiveness?”
-
The man stands up, glancing at Pandora and holding his broken nose. “No, I’m his brother. Thank you for saving me. Who are you?”
-
Faye looks at Odysseus, her eyes dripping tears as she hears this out loud. None of this made any sense… Or did it? Genetically enhanced soldiers… Children to raise into new soldiers… The mining operations for resources… The money to pay it all… Her eyes stream with tears as it all gets put together… Now she realized it. Nobody could live any better with this army afoot… “Forgiveness… I do believe in it… What is it you need of me?”
-
“Im your guardian angel!…Just kidding with you I’m Pandora”, she said smiling.”Oh and also were can i find your brother i need to take him to my friends or something like that so we can keep the planet good or something like that, i sort of zoned out wile listening”, Pandora said scratching the back of her head.
-
Dorian, Matthew’s brother, chuckles lightly. “I don’t even know where my brother is, but perhaps you can help me? Did they memtion a location? If so, I’ll take you there.”
-
Odysseus looks at Faye with sad eyes. “I ask forgiveness. I know that I will most likely never forgive myself for what Ozymandias has done… For what he might do. I’m resisting with everything that I have. But we’re like two puppets with their strings tied together… And if I pull too hard, everything snaps… No, but if you can forgive me, you above all the others, maybe… Do you know the one thing that will be able to set us, the heroes, apart from the OGA? The one thing? Forgiveness. Ozymandias is a being of hate. He never forgave, and he never forgot… That terrible day.” Odysseus trails off, and he returns to the vase of White Tulips.
-
Vineera threw the fire extinguisher to the side. “Bounties, huh?”She crossed her arms and studied him closely. She hasn’t seen his picture around at the station, the again she doesn’t really pay attention to the bounty boards. “You sure that’s something you want to say in front of a cop..?” She paused. “Nevermind that, are you okay?”
-
“Yeah…No…either they did and i zoned out at that part or they didn’t”, she said a little embarrassed.
-
Faye looks up at him, her teary eyes now a small smile, “Yeah. I can forgive you…” She wipes her eyes clean and looks back at him again, still red in the eyes and face. “I’ll help you guys. And…if we get through it… can you at least promise me Jack won’t break any more laws?” She lets out a nervous laugh.
-
She stepped back to avoid his flailing hands. “Ozymandias? You mean the traitor who kidnapped children and took them to OGA?” She frowned bitterly, grabbing a nearby street pole to calm herself before her face dropped the look. “Haven’t you caught up to the traitor yet?”
-
Apollo smashes the broken car onto the street. “Shit. Pandora! Who’s that?!”
-
Andaluza got out of the car, clutching his head. “Damn, Apollo, I know you’re talented and you can mirror a whole car with 4 people and 2 dolls but PLEASE give us a warning first! It hurts, a lot.”
-
“AH!”, Pandora siad at the sudden crash, she stared at Apollo in wonder at how he had crushed that car, on the other hand Dark Pandora was Laughing her ass off.”I like him”, she said smirking evily, Pandora ignored her.”dis guy is the brother of Mat”, she said jerking a thumb (pointing lol) at the guy next to her.
-
Andaluza stared at him. “So…this is the dude’s brother we gotta defend according to Calypsa?”
-
Apollo shrugged. “I’m a bad driver I can do whatever I want. Anyways, we’re not taking orders from Calypsa anymore, Pandora. We’re defending this guy, and that’s it.”
