ace's pov:

"how did you do it?"

"no one taught you how to shoot!"

"but, they're all gone!"

"artillery-"

the noises made me let go of the girl's hand, making me lay my head down against the colorful, but faded wooden table, my arms blocking anyone seeing any features besides my whispy caramel and red hair. the girl tried to rub my back, i flinched naturally and she stopped.

"stop. please." i said, everyone stopped talking, i knew all their eyes were on me, them full of red, yellow, and blue. i didn't have to look. i counted to four, after about a minute and a half of silence i lifted my suddenly very head up, to face the four faces across from me. i ran a hand through my hair, chuckling naturally. i did that while i was in pain, i never understood why.

"they don't call me artillery for nothing. i taught myself. how do you think korse died?" i said, returning to my mask of wit, putting it on. not daring to look ate the girl beside me, knowing she'd make it melt right off with her yellow, blue, and red completion.

"sorry." dr. death said, i fiddled my hands together, they always had to be moving. just like my feet or toes.

"i-it's okay." i said, cherri nodded in agreement to death. my parents next to them were clutching each other's hands under the table. as if i had x-ray vision like a superhero in a comic book.

"it's okay now. trust me." i said, they went along with it. i knew it wasn't the end, but it would be okay eventually.

"you killed korse?" dr. death said. i nodded.

"when i was nine, he was living off of nothing at that point, those were the lands where no one went anyway. he was disguising to get food, i saw him. but it wasn't until then i knew it was the guy who 'killed' you two, uncle kobra and jet." i explained, air quoting 'killed' because they never died. they nodded, wanting me to go on.

"so, me being the sassy nine year old i was, confronted him and he started crying and saying that he didn't want to kill anyone anymore and that he wanted to die so he could be with his boyfriend. so i fulfilled his wish, he begged. i couldn't get out of the deal." i went on, party looked and ghoul, they talked with their eyes. it's what lovers did.

"and so you just shot him." cherri asked, i shook my head.

"he taught me how to use a ray gun, he gave me his. he taught me how to shot and dodge and everything. he mumbled things to himself and then we both heard footsteps and he told me to shoot then so i did. right in the neck. he was gone and i put the body into the car. then i saw who were running." i said, then looked to my fathers in front of me, whose mountain ranges connected to mine.

"and then you ran away, thinking you were hallucinating from the sun." party said. i nodded, sighing and leaning on my left hand.

"yes. and then you two ran after me but gave up because i ran so fast. i ended up going to the girl." i explained. the girl beside me put her amor around my shoulders, i leaned my head into her neck as she played with strands of my caramel hair.

"there was no reason to be afraid, sunshine." death said, leaning back in his chair, "but i do understand now."

"but then why isn't everyone else dead?" ghoul asked.

"because korse didn't die in battery city. he died in zone four, 'no man's land' is what it is now." i said, cherri nodded, as if he knew the smell like it was the table in front of him.

"wait, that smell is korse's corps. gross!" cherri said, i chuckled pinksihly and nuzzled my nose into the girl's shoulder.

"how do we kill the rest of the allies, the growing force?" death asked, show pony came into the room, then fell onto the floor. burnt blitz came in rushing after her, party and ghoul ran for their lives. she didn't see them. focused on pony.

"what happened?!" cherri exclaimed, pony latched onto him, revealing the ray wound in their shoulder.

"five dracs on route guano. you need to report this d!" she said, helping cherri lay the roller skating killjoy onto the table. the girl and i scooted back, still latched onto each other.

"who are you?" she asked, cherri started bandaging up pony.

"artillery ghoison" i said, prideful. ghoul was in the corner of the hall, motioning for me to come as dr. death flooded through the radios with a report, in full zone mode as he'd call it.

"and i'm going to go downstairs." i said, taking the girl's hand. blitz looked at us suspiciously as her eyes went to ghoul, and stared, the three of us started to run down to the lower level.

"hey, i thought you were dead ghoul!" she screamed, cherri grabbed her wrist, keeping her in front of him as he continued to fix up pony. explaining what happened and made sure he didn't tell a soul.

i lay in my father's lap, tears on my cheeks. as the screams of killjoys flooded in through the outside.

the pain that i wanted to feel so they didn't have to.
