2 Genesis (2/2)

”Those are Z2-63 Model Battle Droids! Their outer armour are supposed to be insulators damn it! This... this doesn't make any sense! How could lightning affect them!?”

The man couldn't help scoffing in amusement when he heard the woman's wails. With a grin on his face, he answered her question.

”Mind over matter you idiot. My green lightning is renowned for a reason.”

When the young woman heard the man's remark, she only fell to her knees as tears began to fall out of those dewy eyes.

However, this sight meant nothing to the man.

She was a traitor.

And traitors can just die.

Just before the man could finish her off however, he suddenly felt a strange feeling.

He felt as if he was little bit more tired than he should actually be.

Just before he could think deeper about this strange phenomena, a voice came out of the P.A. system.

”Feeling a little breathless are we?”

It didn't take long for the man to decipher who the voice on the P.A. belonged to.

It belonged to none other than the leader of the traitors, the captain of this ship.

For the man wasn't running in the halls of a ground-based facility, but instead the halls of a frigate class spacecraft.

”This is captain; Sylvester Damien Kedd speaking. As all of you know, we are currently facing a problem with a little 'infestation' on board. Unfortunately, said infestation has destroyed our surveillance system and as such we are unable to track him.”

As Sylvester spoke on the P.A. system, the man's eyes began to widen in shock in a similar manner to the woman as he quickly realised what was happening.

”That being said, after a bit of thinking I came up with a rather efficient solution. This is my suggestion for everyone that isn't in the bridge of the ship. I would recommend that you activate your exosuit's helmet and breathe a bit of that oh so important oxygen... that is... if you have one of course.”

When the P.A. announcement was over, the young woman stopped crying as she stood back up, instead she reached for her neck with her hand to activate her exosuit's helmet while letting out a mocking laughter before she spoke.

”Ahahaha! Looks like the tables have turned assho-ezzzhzhhzhhhh!”

Just before she could finish her sentence however, she was hit with the green lightning that the man had in his left hand. As the green lightning coursed through the woman's body, she screamed in pain and fell backwards onto the droids.

As the man dropped on his knees due to asphyxiation, he was able to witness the woman screaming in pain before the lightning killed her, only for that same lightning to jumpstart start her heart starting the cycle anew.

In his last moments, he was able to mutter a single sentence to himself.

”Eheh... at least I get one satisfying... kill...”

Before his sight was consumed by darkness.

And in this darkness there was nothing.

Nothing but cold emptiness.

[This... this is life after death?]

Somehow, the man was able to retain his ability to think even after death.

And with those thoughts, he came to only one conclusion.

[This is horrible! I don't want this!]

In the endless sea of nothingness, the man screamed to himself within his thoughts.

[I don't want this!]

However, this darkness soon gave way to a single, dim lonely light in the distance.

[What is... what is that light?]

Somehow forcing his way though the darkness, he was able to come closer to the light, its warmth radiating around it.

Just before he could touch the light however, he felt something obstructing him, as if there was already something inside it.

[What the... there is something already in here! Begone!]

Although he had no limbs to speak off, he was able to force the object out of the light before snuggling himself in.

The light was warm.

The light felt lively.

And soon, his sight somehow returned to him.

Although, he felt that something was off.

Why was everything so huge?

And... was he being cradled by a... maid droid?

Soon, the sounds of a human maid conversing with the droid maid came into his ears.

”What just happened?”

”We cannot give you a clear answer ma'am, Cynthia's bio signals dropped to a critical level before it returned to normal.”

Soon, 'he' realised what has just transpired.

He didn't know how it happened but he somehow found himself in a new baby body.

What was that name that the maid droid used to referrer to this body which he now inhabited?

Cynthia was it?

'She' could work with that.
