┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉
"It's only a matter of time before the fire that you set also gets you burned." said the white hair boy who was holding his own head in his hand. He is using a white comb to set his hair, he has one eye looks like camera lenses got zomed. He is clearly a cyborg boy.
"I am Waiting for that to happen." Said the man who was standing before him. He is looking at his mobile phone like device. Suddenly he paused and kept his Mobile Phone it turned into Nano particles and entered inside him.
"It's time." He said. Then he took out the rifle from his back. Though it looked like an old Brown rifle, only those who faced it knew the real terror of that brown rifle. Too bad they are not alive to tell the story though.
The cyborg boy put his head back on and his left wrist split into two. Showing some electric effect as it filled with plasma light that was ready to shoot out whenever he commands.
Both of them charged towards the cloud. Those are not ordinary Clouds. Those are Clouds of beetles that have mechanical parts and biological parts. They are swarming towards them.
"'Boom! Then they fought and They destroyed the swarm. Let's skip 20 pages. After the fight, the cyborg boy kissed the man,'" A little girl around 9 or 10 read loudly in a high-pitched voice, her small hands clutching a tattered book.
"Huh?!" a boy beside her shouted while his face red. "When did this turn into one of those Yaoi stories?!"
The girl giggled and waved the book at him. "They say it's based on true events. Isn't that wild? A love story between a human and a cyborg! Both of them are… male, I wonder if Cyborg has Modified extra holes" Her cheeks flushed.
Another boy rolled his eyes. "Ew. You read the weirdest stuff."
Before she could argue, a firm voice cut through their chatter. "Shrimps. Move."
The group froze.
They turned to see their Big Brother, a lanky boy of twelve or thirteen. He smiled at them while holding a stick like a gun. Despite being barely older than them, he is like leader of this small group.
The little girl hastily hid her book behind her back.
"What are we going to do?"
"We're going to, um… steal mangoes!" she declared.
"We're gathering resources," the boy corrected, pointed the stick at the girl.
The Girl raised her hands above but accidentally dropped the book.
The Boy took the book , "Did you steal this from home again? Sister said one copy is missing. We found the culprit."
The girl just stuck out her tongue.
"Alright... We are leaving.... Operation secret mission Mangoes starts..." The Boy shouted.
"Roger!" the children chorused..
[ author notes : Damn I can't even use professional words... Because some son of batches will say it's AI]
They sneaked near the old building that is near the inner city wall. It was dark, but the kids ran naturally as if they were used to it. This is not the first time they stole mangoes here.
The Big Brother guided them easily as if he could see through the dark. Well compared to others his vision is slightly sharper than others. Even sharper than normal adults.
Through the small hole on the fence, the kids entered the old building. There is a small yard and a big mango tree in it.
"Now... The weapon " The boy stretched out his hand.
One of the girls in the group placed the slingshot on his palm.
"Ammunition"
One of the boys placed a stone in his hand.
"Aim.. Fire." The Boy said as he shot it on the tree casually. A bunch of mangoes fell down.
"Reload"
The kids gave another stone. Their Big brother shot mangoes one by one. Everyone looked at him with admiration.
"Secure the resources." The boy ordered.
"Roger." They said and they scrambled to pick up the fallen mangoes.
A boy is picking up mangoes in the dark. His ears pricked when he heard a low growl. He turned around and saw a dog that was as tall as him.
The dog barked and leaped at him.
Bang.
A stone flew near its eyes and the dog stumbled.
"Enemy detected. Retreat!" The big brother shouted. The boys and girls carried the mangoes in a sack as they ran.
"But there are more mangoes in the ground." said a girl as she pouted.
"If we were to move any closer it'd be bad! Retreat at once!"
"R-roger that!"
"I'll take the cover, run."
"Big brother. You should come back." The girl said with teary eyes as she ran.
The drama continued in hilarious way.
"This kid's Aiming skill is something...."
A man is looking at everything that is happening with an amused smile from the top of the building. From his point of view, it was just kids are playing with dogs. But for Kid's POV, it's like they entered a war zone.
But his eyes turned serious when he got a notification on his mobile.
A message blinked on the cracked screen:
[Emergency Alert: Fire in the Slum District 7.]
He turned his gaze back to the direction the kids had run.
"Fire in the Slum?" he muttered.
The kids ran off the fence. The dog tried to follow while barking. Suddenly a mango flew and went straight into the dog's mouth and it stuck in its throat.
The dog stopped chasing and coughed out the mango.
The man looked at the kids and left the place. He jumped off the building and ran fast.
---
The children laughed and ran through the maze of narrow streets, clutching their bag of mangoes like stolen treasure.
"Sister's gonna yell for sure," said one, panting between laughs.
"Don't worry," said another. "We'll just tell her we found them."
"Hehe... I am pretty sure sister will scold us." A boy said.
"Don't worry. We will tell her that we just picked it up?" A girl in the group said.
"The crowd is huge," Another girl said. They also noticed that the road is more crowded than usual.
They turned a corner and froze.
The dark alley turned orange when they reached their destination. The Smoke roses in the air along with Screams. They all stopped at the place. They all stood there in shock.
"Fire! Fire! Someone help!" a voice shouted.
The children stared, eyes wide. Their home, Dream Orphanage, was in flames.
The small wooden sign that bore its name cracked and fell as the roof caved in. The flames reached toward the night sky, painting everything in cruel shades of red and gold.
"No…" whispered the girl with the book.
"Sister" said another boy, voice trembling.
The Big Brother eyes locked on the inferno. It also blurred due to tears
The sound of collapsing wood drowned out their sobs.
---
The next morning, the streets were silent except for the low murmur of guards in black uniforms with Pentagon Symbols on it, they are checking the burned orphanage site.
"No survivors," one of them said grimly, flipping through a small data pad. "But records show seven children are missing. Four boys and Three girls."
The other guard sighed. "Even if they survived… this city doesn't spare anyone, least of all orphans."
He glanced at the charred remains of the sign, its letters barely legible and Dream Orphanage.
The wind blew, scattering ashes across the empty lot. Among them lay a burnt scrap of paper, a page from a storybook.
The last line read:
> "After the fight, the cyborg boy 'killed' the man."
┉┈◈◉◈┈┉
Leo looked at a beautiful girl standing in the crowd. The beautiful girl is wearing a white dress and black leather boots and has pretty, shoulder-length hair, milky skin, an oval face, slim eyebrows, and exquisite facial features.
The beautiful girl is his neighbour. Leo has been secretly in love with her for a long time.
Today he proposed to her. But it turns out that girl is a ghost. So Leo ran away while crying...
Nope, not crying, he handsomely ran away, while his eyes sweated furiously.
Three girls - (Tessia, Rem, Anya) suddenly jumped before him. They punched at the ghost.
The ghost cried, "Aaww , you have angels protecting you."
Tessia, "Yes.. don't dare to mess with our big brother. I , Big sister Tessia, will kill you."
Then Leo fell in love with Three heroines.
"Ehhh? Why are you the big sister, Tess?"
"Why can't I be a big sister?"
"Now they held hands and the baby was born."
"Girls , what are you doing?" Leo entered the room. The Girls immediately closed the book that they were writing.
"NOTHING!!" They shouted in unison.
---
While having a beautiful dream, the girls woke up to sudden shouts.
Now the remaining kids were hiding in an abandoned house in the slum, not at their orphanage.
The door opened and a gang of men appeared. One man's eyes lit up when he saw the three girls there...
"Nice... food... unripe food..." he shouted in a lewd tone.
