Thirteenth Sin Chapter 7
The Thirteenth Sin, Chapter 7: From their Point of view by Sin Halleck
It was Nine O’clock A.M. The red eyes opened up tiredly. They swabbed from side to side before getting up and out of a large bed. Two, size eleven feet dropped upon the floor and walked to a bathroom. Water started from the shower and soon a set of sky blue eyes opened next to where the red ones were. They just shifted to the left before two, size twelve feet dropped to the floor and waited. Blaster Seven, known to “Thirteen” by the name of Selket, looked about the bed room. It wasn’t much different than a regular, emperor sized, bed room.
“Osiriiiis!” cried Selket. “Are you gonna be long in there?”
“I just got in!” yelled “Thirteen”.
“Ugh! That doesn’t answer my question! Will you be long!?”
“Not if you are waiting!”
“I am. So thanks!”
“Yeah, yeah, sure thing.”
Selket looked about the room some more. She pressed a button next to the bed and the walls became clear glass. They weren’t like this on the outside, though. She gazed out at the environment surrounding their home. The ground was a healthy green and sprouted many flowers before breaking into the desert and going off for miles. Off in the distance was a large building. This was the main base of the Blasters. Where they were now was the small, twelve- house neighborhood that gave home to main leaders of the group. The base was run solely by Spinosaur13s and Raptor technicians. It was a large place, too. However, there was more than just the main base. Scattered across the world were fallout bases. If this main base gave way, The Blasters could easily relocate in a matter of seconds. The shower’s water stopped and some squeaking on the tile floor and steps were heard from the bathroom. Soon, “Thirteen” came out of the room with a towel on. Selket looked at him with her blue eyes, pleased with the fact that he didn’t use all the hot water. She smiled and went into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. Blaster Thirteen began to get dressed while the water in the shower started again. He wore a typical Zin outfit. Nothing colorful showed in his outfit. It was all black, save his dress shirt which was white and he wore like a jacket. He picked up an odd, cell phone like device from the bureau next to the bathroom door. He slid it open and just like a cell phone, dialed a few symbols and pressed a button with a green satellite dish on it. A voice answered.
“What is it now, Thirteen?”
“Has Zin started on his way over?”
“Reports have confirmed that to be positive.”
“Thanks, Platinum.”
“No problem, sire.”
Blaster Thirteen slid the devise back to its previous state. The shower was still going and he was growing bored. He started to slide and un- slide the devise up and down. He did this for five minutes and got bored of that, too. Blaster Thirteen, or Osirus, was very impatient. A lot of it came from the human disorder known as A.D.H.D. He was easily distracted and had the attention span of a guppy. Yet… he is able to rule an entire empire and command the Blaster regime. He looked at the device and pressed a few buttons. Soon, two small speakers popped out of the sides and the theme to the new Naruto started to play. By the time it was over, he was bored again. Osirus looked about the room and perked his head when he heard the shower water stop. Finally, he thought. He heard a blow dryer start up and continued to hear it for a good five minutes. When it stopped, Selket came out from the bathroom wearing a towel. Right in front of “Thirteen”, she dropped it on the floor and than bent over to open a drawer to get clothes. She wiggled her butt in the air a bit until she found her desired clothing. She than threw it all on as if no one else was there; casually and slowly. She knew that Osirus was getting annoyed, yet liked it at the same time. She knew how to annoy him and always thought it fun. She, despite what many witnesses say, actually looks fifteen, like Osirus does. She doesn’t wear sluttish clothes to show herself off. She barely wears anything to be tied to that tag. When she does wear skimpy clothing, she does it to get reactions out of people for kicks. When she doesn’t plan to go to the human realm, she wears average, everyday clothes. Blaster Thirteen has incomplete “Zin” hair. It starts to drape over his shoulders but stops about an inch below. Plus, he doesn’t have the ponytail. Selket was finally dressed in regular clothes. The two walked out the bedroom door and into a hallway. At the end was a teleporter. They stepped in and appeared outside their house. Osirus took lead and began to walk towards the base. Selket followed him with a pleasant smile. They walked for about a half a mile before stopping at a Dunkin’ Donuts that they stole from the town of Brewster. As they walked in, the cooking- modified raptors raised their heads to see who it was and when they did, immediately began to make fresh doughnuts for the two leaders. The deed was done in about ten minutes and along with the baked rings, they had coffee. Osirus had medium coconut with cream and splenda and Selket had hazelnut with milk and sugar. They finished their food and resumed their walk. They talked of politics and who would be elected as next Admin of the Raptors. So far the polls were in favor of the experimental raptor deemed ‘Blaster’. However Raptor013 2379 wasn’t far behind. The Raptors were interesting to watch when it came to these sort of things. Quite frankly, they were horrible at the political game. And if there was anything that they learned from the human realm it was to blame the current leader for anything and everything. “Blame S13- 78! He’s causing Aseryona warming! He started the war with the Shiyaronas! He did this, he did that! They sound more and more like the humans each time.
Finally, they got into viewing range of the entire base. The first thing Osirus saw was my friend, Anna’s car. Selket saw it too and rolled her eyes when she saw it.
“Anna’s here! Anna’s here!” exclaimed Osirus.
“Ugh… Seriously what’s the big fascination with her?” started Selket. “She’s not your girl, yet you get so excited when you see her. She’s not even that nice all the time despite how much you two are alike. Hey, are you listening?”
By the time she was done speaking, Osirus was already halfway to the base from where they were standing and still running. Selket rolled her eyes once more, smiled and chased after him. She knew that Anna was really there to see Cheryl but she also knew that Osirus didn’t care. He enjoyed her company because it was like a second him. Selket met Blaster Thirteen at the entryway to the base because it would not open to just one of them without the password, which “Thirteen” had forgotten. They entered, went down a few halls and than entered the core room.
All the heads turned over to them and greeted them with a firm nod. Osirus looked at a large monitor. It was observing Zin. His every action, sentence and location. Osirus smiled, as he knew Zin was getting close after a few long weeks of trekking through a desert. He looked over at Platinum, a shorthaired woman with a low top shirt and a long skirt. She had a scimitar/machete tied to her belt and a knife strapped onto her left arm. On her right arm, there coiled a very small, reticulated python. It seemed to be well tempered. Underneath her skirt on the left thigh was a pouch full of kunai and ninja stars. She was Eleventh in command and had a wicked alternate form.
“Cheryl”, said “Thirteen”
“Yeah, hun’?” Her voice was soft yet venomous. She had a slight southern accent.
“Where’s Anna?”
Cheryl got a bit mad at the question but the innocent tone of voice couldn’t keep her that way. “She’s in the bathroom. She’ll be back soon.”
“When she gets back, can you tell her that you have to go for a bit?”
“Why, hun?”
“I need you to intercept Zin at Five hundred meters to. But, only until I tell you to withdraw. I need some time to prepare things for his arrival in “Aseryona”. I just have to tidy up the entrance. We’ll make it easy to navigate for him until I decide otherwise. “Uh, okay. You’re lucky you’re so cute otherwise I would decline it. ”
“Thanks.”
Anna came into the room and saw Osirus there. She waved and he waved excitedly back. Anna wore all black. Black shirt, black skirt, black socks, black shoes. She had pale skin and brown hair whish was up in small pigtails. She had seemingly purple eyes and a round face with rectangle glasses. Cheryl turned to Anna and told her she had to go. Anna nodded and than took a seat at a control chair. She decided she would sub for Blaster Platinum today.
With that, the woman who had been wearing casual clothing materialized a dome around her that disappeared after three seconds and left her wearing a tight, white suit and only her brown eyes and black hair were showing. She jumped into the air and her last trace there was the teleporter transporting someone to the gates.
“Seven, you take over here. I have to redecorate. Bye Anna!” said Osirus and after waving and getting a return wave to/from Anna, he walked off to the teleporter and disappeared.
Meanwhile, I was moving at a surprising pace for a desert area and so were the others. I had learned many new things while being interrupted in a stride multiple times by Raptors and the occasional Chimera swarm. Things were going to get intense the next few weeks in the Blaster base so I did my best to self train myself. Nights fell on us hard and frigid and made travel more difficult. This was a great journey that was about to unfold.
