Jett Finds A Filly
Responsibility
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“What do you think those two had found Killjoy?” Skye asks curiously.
The rest of the agents were back where they had departed and were waiting for Phoenix and Jett to come back with what they had found. Killjoy was overlooking the view below her seeing the blue crack separating the two biomes from each other, She can't help but wonder how did something like this happen if everything was already working fine from the beginning. She had discovered much more about the facility, its history, and what they had been researching and experimenting with. Apparently, they were more advanced in their work than she had thought. They could have learned more from them and their projects even if some of the work failed. But she wasn't able to find the cause of the incident. She clenched her hand tight as in her hand was a USB and a blueprint for making interdimensional portals. The scientist weren't the ones who caused the incident here, it was done by someone else, someone that didn't want the radian collider to see the light of day. She’ll find out one day but she will have to put it behind her for now, there were more important things to be finished. And it starts by traveling to omega earth.
Killjoy was taken aback as she felt something touch her right shoulder snapping her out of her thinking. She quickly turned her head to find Skye looking at her with worried eyes. The two stared at each other for a while until Skye broke the awkward silence.
“Um…You alright their mate?” Skye asks worriedly.
“I'm fine Skye,” Killjoy lies as she continued to stare off into the distance. Skye could tell that she was lying, with the stressed look in her eyes she could tell that she was hiding something but decides not to press on it.
“Alright, ill leave you be then.” Skye then leaves killjoy with her thoughts as she approaches Sova who was inspecting one of his bolts. Sova noticed Skye slowly approaching him, the worriedness still plastered on her face.
“Something on your mind Skye?” Sova asks placing back the bolt he had onto his quiver.
“It’s Killjoy Sova,” Skye says almost in a whisper as if she didn't want killjoy to hear it. “Somethings bothering her but I don't know what.”
“Isn't it obvious?” Sova says in a normal tone, he didn't think the whispering was necessary considering the fact they were both far away enough from killjoy to talk normally. It was rather rude to him.
“What do you mean?” Skye asks confused.
“Were you not bothered by the bodies at all when we explored the facility?”
Skye paused, trying to remember their exploration moments ago. She had mostly kept her guard up considering the fact that this place was hidden from the world and was in her forest concerned her. She wasn't bothered by the bodies around her, it was their fault that they tried to create something dangerous especially when they were working with their mirrored selves from another earth. Now, this is where they lay, this facility is their tombstone now but she can't help but feel saddened a bit. Their families won't know about their sons or daughters passing unless kingdom had already dealt with that problem when the facility went down. She often took a few glances behind to see her teammates following her as if they would simply run off and leave her in this place. She was never really used to working with humans nor trusted them enough, she never even wanted to work with kingdom to begin with. since their tech had been mostly harming mother nature and the animals living in it. But when the earth is in danger from these rifts she will do what she can to help stop this rising problem. That's when she saw that Killjoy was slowing down her pace and was taking constant glances herself, mostly staring at the remains of the scientists than the surroundings. Her body was shaking at the sight if not for her gun to vibrate intensely. Then she had her head down and in a few seconds wiped her right eye recomposing herself before catching up with Skye and Sova. Skye knew what Sova had meant as she now had a face of guilt.
“Oh… it's that isn't it?” Skye asks feeling ashamed that she had not seen it from the beginning.
“Da, killjoy had mostly been working on the lab, leaving her with little combat experience than us,” Sova says looking over at killjoy who had her head down and her left arm atop her green beanie.
Skye hated killjoy, not only she uses technology and creates miniature robot companions for herself, she had hated her constant bragging about how smart she was than everyone. You don't have to keep telling people how smart you are, otherwise, you would just be plain annoying. Even though she hated her she still cares for her well-being, Skye was still relatively new to joining the Valorant Protocol so she never really got to know much about the rest of her team members. Maybe it was time to open up a bit.
“YO!” A new voice was heard causing the three agents to look towards the sudden noise. There Phoenix stood outside of the omega facility panting once again as he bent down trying to catch his breath. The questions then came flowing in.
“Phoenix! Perfect you're here what have you found in the omega sector?” Killjoy asks in anticipation, as she rushed toward him.
“Why were you running? And where is Jett?” Skye questions.
“Were you both chased down by yourselves?” Sova asks readying his bow. Phoenix finally gathered enough air to speak again, standing up straight and looking at his teammates.
“To be honest with ya’ll, I have no idea what we have found,” he says as he gestured his hand to the front entrance of the omega sector. “ But maybe Jett can.”
“You didn't have to run y’know,” Jett says exiting the omega sector and right next to Phoenix.
“I was still pissed about that little race of ours earlier.” phoenix says crossing his arms as he turned away from Jett.
“Really? Still?” Jett says in surprise and in disbelief as she could hear the hate in Phoenix’s statement. What a baby.
The two didn't realize that the rest of the agents all looked at Jett with wide eyes and their mouths agape as they continued to stare at Jett, or rather what she held in her arms. Sleeping in Jett's arms was a tiny pony…no wait pegasi as its body was slowly rising up and down meaning it was alive, the filly’s head was buried in Jett’s arms with probably rather the biggest eye that the agents had seen in a pony before ever. Then they focused on the injured hoof, it was covered up and tied by a white cloth to prevent more blood from flowing out. Jett noticed that the rest of the agents were still staring at the filly, she shook her arms a bit to wake the filly up, and it did. The filly opened her emerald green eyes a bit before raising her head fully releasing a tiny yawn, first, the filly looked at Jett tilting her head, giving her a confused look before lowering her head down to see the many eyes staring back at her. Her wide eyes turned to pinpricks as she lowered her head and tried to bury herself in Jett's arms. It didn't take long for the questions to come flooding back yet again.
“Where have you found this specimen?!” Killjoy shouted at Jett causing the filly to lower her ears from the loud noise.
“Awwww ain't she a beauty,” Skye asks as she took a closer look at the filly.
“Why does this horse have wi~ “Guys let me explain!” Jett cuts off Sova’s question as the 2 agents finally stopped with their questioning.
“Now, I found this pegasus just right next to the orange radianite boxes I told you about Kj, as for how this thing was made. I have no idea. And no Sova this is not a horse it's a pony pegasus." Sova shrugged before Jett continued. "I noticed it was hurt so I carried the filly out of the room she was staying in and tore a piece of fabric from Phoenix’s coat to patch it up.”
“You owe me a coat,” Phoenix adds before Jett continued.
“Right, So Skye if you please.” Jett points towards Skye’s healing trinket.
“Hm? Oh right.” Skye then grabs the healing trinket from her waist and proceeds to channel it. The filly’s hoof started glowing bright green as the filly stared at her hoof with awe, soon the bright green light faded and Jett slowly removed the bandage around the filly to find the once injured hoof good as new. The filly smiled giving her healed hoof a few test stomps on Jett’s arm.
“You're welcome,” Skye says happily, as Killjoy stares at the filly with her hand on her chin.
“Fascinating. This pony is able to display emotions as if it were a human.”
“That's what I thought as well,” Jett says.
“Didn't you say that you found this filly in a room? anything else you might have missed?”
“Other than broken flasks and unsolved equations, there was nothing.”
“hmm. Well, it appears that I'm going to have to run some tests on this filly,” Jett and Skye tensed up a bit when she said that which Killjoy quickly added.
“Oh unharmful tests, geez I'm not a psychopath you guys. Just give her here and ill make sure she will be treated well.” Killjoy says as she stretched out her arms waiting. As much as Jett didn't want to do it, she knew that she couldn't take care of this filly herself. She will just have to rely on Skye and Killjoy to take care of the filly. Sighing she looked at the filly as if to say goodbye, the filly stared back at her with the biggest smile she could muster.
“Well little buddy, I guess it's time to say goodbye,” Jett says as she grabbed the filly with both of her arms and placed her on the ground. The filly sat on the ground and continued to stare at Jett unaware of what was happening. Jett only took two steps back as she saw the little filly begin to worry, she too stood up from the ground and slowly walked toward Jett.
“Alright little filly, time to do some little testing,” Killjoy says as she approached the filly and was about to grab her. Fortunately, the filly was quick to act as she sprinted towards Jett and hid behind her ankle doing her best to not be seen by the rest of the agents. All of the agents were left stunned by the filly’s actions including Jett. Had this filly formed a bond with Jett already?
“Well, I guess that's a no,” Killjoy says in defeat as she stood up from her squatting position and looked toward Jett with a smile. “Looks like you will be the one to take care of this filly Jett!”
“What?! N-no! I can't take care of this filly!” Jett cried out while Phoenix laughed.
“Sure you can Jett! After all, I think the filly thinks you are her mother!” Phoenix continued to laugh as he points to the filly who was holding onto her with her forelegs for dear life.
“That's not funny Phoenix!” Jett shouts in anger pointing a finger toward Phoenix.
“Don't worry mate, You won't be alone on this one. We will help ya with the best we can ay?” Skye says reassuringly as she gestured her hand toward the other two agents. Killjoy gave a thumbs up whilst Sova wasn't sure of himself. Releasing a heavy sigh Jett looked at Skye and gave her a single nod.
“Let's hope Brim’s ok with the tiny pony running around headquarters,” Phoenix says as he sees the plane coming towards them. “actually scratch that, let's hope that the rest of the fam are ok with this filly here.”
Jett released a groan as she picked up the filly behind her, and place her back onto her arms. The filly seemed to be happy to be back in Jett’s arms as it positioned itself for another nap. This will surely open a new adventure for our duelist here.
