Chapter 7 - Chapter #6: prelude to the nuke

'Ughhh those two goons are soooo lameeeee. The amount of clichés they've been spouting since I was captured. Honestly I need to think on my I Am Atomic phrase with that scene coming up rather soon. I Am The Void? Nah. I Am The Moonlight? No too long.' Unfortunately for Chloé her thoughts were interrupted.

"Where did you take the princess?" The blonde goon then speaks up. "You're the only one who could've done it!" Chloé was incapable of taking the amount cringe anymore so she decided it was about time to shut them up. So in her most emotionless and cold voice possible Chloé interrupts them.

"Blah blah blah unnecessary pain blah blah blah just start with the actual torture already I might die of actual cringe and boredom. You two are so damn cliché like the degree of predictablness is strong with you two. In fact I bet you're probably thinking: "can't wait to shut this disrespectful bitch up" right?"

Chloé's bored gaze looks at them in genuine shock and couldn't help but speak up. "Holy fuck I was right. Damn you two are 100% a pair of bumbling idiots. I also refuse anything else as if I can read you so easily I might just be a psychic."

Then the brown haired goon was about to yell but unfortunately for them Chloé once more cuts them off. "You cocky bitch!" Is what you were going to say right? You really aren't helping your case of not being cliché with that generic speech. Do something original."

After saying that Chloé immediately turned her brain off letting the two men torture her.

'Finally free! They are beyond lucky they let me put my school uniform back on, and didn't throw me out in my underwear like they did with Cid. Because I would've killed them without hesitation if they had! My disguise be damned."

As Chloé continued to plot the downfall of two very unfortunate knights she noticed something. Her three "friends" were tailing her with killing intent.

'Damn the cult must have a real hate boner for me. Having their subordinates attempt to befriend me so they can then kill me. How very cruel.~'

Before she could lead them to an isolated location Alpha walks by whispering. "Later." To which Chloé responds by pretending she heard nothing and continuing to lead the trio following her to a spot away from prying eyes.

Then she stops when finally hitting a dead end. "Alright you three let's get this over with." All three then turn the corner their swords already drawn. Alexander speaks up first. "Forgive us but unfortunately Lord Zenon has deemed you to be a wedge in his plans. No hard feelings."

Olivia charged in first followed by Cassian both aiming for the openings in Chloé's mantis style unfortunately with precise minute movements Chloé deftly avoids their strikes and then in a blur rips out their hearts and crushes them before throwing their still sentient corpses so high into the sky at such violent speeds they disintegrate.

Alexander realizes immediately his previous assessment was completely off. Seeing Chloé's feral grin, the battle lust in her eyes, and the fact he couldn't even see what Chloé did. One moment it looked like they had won the next they were simply. Gone.

"Honestly love you guys are strong unfortunately you weren't as perceptive as you initially concluded. So any last words before I send you sky high?" After a moment of silence Chloé claps her hands together and smiles brightly.

"Well I'll take that as a no. Also I decided your being flung alive. Ok?" Alexander then is in the alley one moment the next he feels like he is burning up and only realizes too late that he was sent skyward.

"Lady luck I love this Isekai world! I've been holding onto that one for awhile now cult members have fought me in the open so I couldn't test it. I'm glad they a bumbling idiots. I feel like a horror movie villain right now though because the despair on Arthur's lookalike was not befitting the king of knights. OG Proto Arthur would be ashamed."

(Small Timeskip)

Finally entering her dorm room she is greeted by Alpha. "Hey Alpha how are you?" Alpha moves towards Chloé and pulls her into a hug which Chloé reciprocates. "I'm glad your ok... you had me worried sick when I got the news."

Alpha pulls away with Chloé brushing Alpha's hair out of her face. "I'm ok. You of all people know how strong I am. You also know how careful I am." Alpha then sighs. "And you know I'm still going to worry especially if you're going to romance a princess."

Chloé immediately throws her hands up defensively. "No I was blackmailed and you know it! Wait a minute. You're just teasing me so you can see me flustered aren't you?" Alpha chuckles before winking. "Maybe.~"

Both girls sigh before getting a serious expression. "So I'm guessing Alexia is till alive?" Alpha nods. "Yes they can't get her blood is she's dead. Speaking of that we can't trust the knight order." Chloé chuckles while looking out her window at the golden crescent moon.

"So they got their fangs into Midgar as well huh?" Alpha looks at the moon with Chloé. "Without a doubt. Now then you lay low for awhile I'll have Beta fetch you on the night of the attack. And thank you Chloé for saying what you did back before we left. It even made Zeta less of a zealot. Oh before I forget Delta is here also."

Chloé shifts her gaze from the sky back to Alpha. "Truly?" Chloé then moves out of Alpha's way allowing her to jump onto the windowsill. "Yeah she's missed you." That causes Chloé to smile bitterly. "Tell her I said hi for me?" Alpha looks back at Chloé's face smiling softly.

"I will don't worry. Also we'll be ready in two days." Alpha then silently leaps into the night leaving Chloé alone with her thoughts. 'Dammit I still haven't thought of my Atomic phrase yet. Oh well I'll sleep on it. I'm tired anyways. I also need a shower I smell like blood.'
