She had been running, everything was blurry, her head throbbed, Irkens spoke and screamed, but they were no more than a hum to her. Irkens boarded escape pods, they were running out though, a crackle came over the intercom, this, however, she heard perfectly clear, it was the voice of the one she loved most, she had starting dating her a month or two before.
"Nii? Nii?! Wake up!" Nii woke up, sweat dripping down her body, being absorbed by her plain black tank top, beside her was a heavily scarred Zirus.
"Again?" He asked, his antennas faced downwards apposed from upwards as usual, Nii responded with only a nod, tears welled up in her eyes, this was just an infinite hell, one she'll never be able to escape, and neither could the other survivors.
"Is everyone still-" Nii began to talk
"Yes, everyone is still safe" Zirus responded, the two of them looked out the bars of the cell, Irkens sat, shivering, coughing, dying, seeing the remnants of what was left of everyone made her want to scream with anger, but she couldn't, everybody needed to rest, especially during a time where everyone felt to weak to even move, she stood up and look through the bars, she looked two cells down from the one across her, a female Irken, wearing an scratched and battered invader suit, the sight made Nii smile once more
"No response from anyone on Tumblr yet?" Zirus asked, making sure his voice was a whisper, Nii shook her head, reaching out was their only hope of survival, but it was also very, very deadly, down the narrow hall, the clanking of locks could be heard, then the steps of heavy boots, almost as if someone was wearing boots made from pure steal, Nii growled as the sound got closer.
"Aww, looks like the Navigator is still feeling brave" a tall figure appeared in front the cell, the figure resembled Zuri, but there were differences, one was the fact he had an arm, unlike Zuri, and his neck and part of his chest were scratched, battle scars from when he killed Zuri, Miyuki, D1b, Uka, and almost everyone else, most killed themselves however. Iruz wrapped a hand around a bar "So tell me, what makes you think that you're intimidating?" His voice was like venom, sinking into the blood of those around him, causing them to jump back with fright. Zirus grabbed Nii's shoulder, pulling her back, but she didn't budge, she bared her teeth towards Iruz, but Iruz just smiled at her, before continuing his walk down the hallway, guards followed behind him, holding staffs that sparked with electricity and hatred. Nii finally let go of the bars and sat back down, Zirus sat next to her
"I understand you want to stand up to him, but you're bravery act is going to be dug up and underneath, all will be left is how you truly feel, just stand down for once. Okay?" Zirus placed a hand on Nii's shoulder, trying to comfort her. She thought, she needed a better strategy then just waiting to be rescued, she needed to take matters into her own hands.
