"Oooh, that's the good shit..." Merciless shuddered, smoke slowly floating from his mouth. Joyous leaned over, scrunching up their nose out of curiosity. "Whaddya... oh, you're real buzzed out, huh? I honestly forgot you did this." They remarked, gawking over their brother's astonished expression.
They then started to study his face. An excessive amount of piercings lined it. At least four on each fern. He had Dauntless implement them in his ferns because when he tried it himself, he damaged his wriggle detectors. A shiny, golden, ring rested on his nose. In the middle was a small design of a bat, decorated with silver rhinestones. The middle sibling knew for a fact that he had a tongue piercing as well, but it was only a basic silver pearl in the middle.
"Val, you've gotta try this shit!" Merciless shoved the device in his sibling's face as they slowly accepted it. Joyous side-eyed their brother out of worry. "Koda, mamá doesn't care if we vape in her house, right?" They inquired. And in return, Merciless gave them a funny grin. "C'mon, Val! She literally smokes weed around us. Course she don't care!" He laughed. The middle sibling only nodded and drew the mouthpiece towards their mouth, until they stopped when it was right in front of their lips.
They turned towards their younger brother again. "What flavor is in right now?" Joyous cocked an eyebrow in the process. Merciless smirked while his pupils slightly dilated. "It's butterscotch reserve. One of your personal favorites, bud." Joyous' eyes lit up as they immediately hovered their finger over the power button. The device lit up as Joyous waited a few moments, and then inhaled. Sliding the mouthpiece off of their lips, they then exhaled the vapor.
Merciless looked down at them, waiting for his sibling's usual reaction to the flavor. But instead, they cocked an eyebrow, meeting eyes with their brother.
"Wassup? Sumn' wrong wit' it?" The pale-yellow-eyed man questioned. His sibling conspicuously eyed him with a mischievous smirk on their face.
Merciless was extremely confused by this, cocking an eyebrow back.
"This isn't butterscotch reserve, estúpido! This tastes like... this is chilled apple pear! Just HOW do you get that mixed up?" Joyous snickered. Causing Merciless' face to become warm out of sheer embarrassment. His eyes went wide and his shoulders rose, ready to attempt to defend himself. "I-I-I-I haven't had butterscotch in a while, and same with ACP, I guess..." Merciless' grimace was strong, and after a low growl, he snatched the vape pen out of his sibling's hands.
Joyous wanted to start screaming and fight for it back, but instead, they angrily shook their head. They knew their mother didn't condone fighting in her house. The middle child calmed down with a sigh. Then, they turned their body over to their right, laid down on the shared bed, and closed their eyes.
The youngest curiously peered over them, however, he didn't want Joyous to know he was looking at them, so he stopped almost immediately. Merciless adjusted himself by scooting forward and laying on his back, getting acquainted with the chalky white ceiling.
"Yo, Joyous," He said. "Yeah...?" Joyous rasped, opening their eyes.
The tallest sibling shifted his eyes to the right for a split second, until staring back up at the smooth, white, ceiling. He couldn't help but smile. "Do ya think... when this is all over- when we win- we'll take mom back to our home planet?" Merciless asked as he took abrupt pauses mid-sentence.
The second oldest heard their brother trying to hold back a breakdown, they proceeded to roll over, now laying on their left side. "Thinkin'? I've been dreaming about it." They retorted as they got a clear view of Merciless' right shoulder, and when they moved their neck slightly upward, they could see tears slide down their brother's face.
Joyous shimmied their body closer to their brother and wrapped their arms around him. As expected, Merciless then immediately broke out into a full on sob. Tears flowed even quicker as he bared his teeth.
"I-I-I just want her to get better, man! It isn't fair! This goddamn planet made her like this!" He cried, clutching onto his older sibling's right arm, burying his nose into it.
Using their right hand, Joyous caressed their brother's face, wiping his tears that constantly ran with their thumb. Merciless continued to cry and hastily gasp as the tight, burning sensation in his throat disappeared. Joyous had never seen their brother get this emotional. In childhood, he cried the most out of the three, but during adulthood, it's different.
Eventually, tears began to fall from Joyous' eyes as well, but they didn't cry. "Koda, we'll get her in a safer environment. I promise you..." They whispered as they continued to hold their younger brother in their arms.

"Why is Akilah... putting on makeup?" The inventor asked, tilting his head at his sister. Foreseeable set her beauty blender down. "I'm filming a few commercials for a brand. They just released a new body and skincare line, and I'm advertising batches of their products for them! I'm more used to my modeling career, but they emailed me yesterday, so why not give commercials a try?" The joyed woman elaborated, opening her drawer full of different shades of pink lipsticks. Her eyes quickly scanned the wide variety of options as they came to a sudden stop and quickly picked one out.
The base was black and rectangular with gold lining, and the cap was also gold. The pink eyed woman popped the cap off, unscrewed it, and studied its color. It was a cute bubblegum color. She applied it onto her lips carefully to not make mistakes.
"But Akilah is still on her period. Is she sure?" The electric eel inquired. The pink regal angelfish opened another drawer above the lipstick drawer. It was full of lip gloss. "I'll be fine, 'Worldly! I took medicine specifically created by Cheerless for cramping pain. It smells really good too!" Foreseeable explained, picking out clear lip gloss for her lipstick to shine. One of her favorite things was going out.
Believe it or not, the coalition oversaw a well hidden underground city. It was hidden since, in the country of Vorbeckia, the Night species was still being actively witch hunted for a vague reason. It was constructed and organized under the Commander's orders. It wasn't exactly a civilized city, but they could only do so much. They held festivals, parades, and whatnot.
Not every single coalition operator was in charge of the people. Only a selective few ran institutions. For instance, Cheerless was the founder of the city's health care institution. She's only a mad doctor out of institutional business.
Although there wasn't a properly established government for a few reasons, one of them being because Joyous is a mafia boss. The syndicate was bigger than anyone may think. The Night Coalition also had another segment by the name of ARCTUS. A personal team assembled by the Commander himself. Led by someone he calls Strategist. He and the Night operators command the said team.
Morally, they were just there for missions the operators didn't need to be assigned. For example, grabbing data in specified locations, retrieving lost comrades, and gathering out-of-area supplies.
Recently, Otherworldly was given a new task by the Commander. Dishwashing. That's right, dishwashing. The electric eel didn't have an issue with it, as he always received housework tasks the most out of everyone else. He's already had enough experience with cleaning up after his younger sister.
The green man was wholly disconnected from reality as he thought about baking something for Foreseeable. But that was stopped by the woman in question kissing Otherworldly on his cheek, leaving a bright pink lipstick mark on his face.
"Love you, 'Worldly! I'll see ya later!" Foreseeable gushed, grabbing her small, bright pink, square shaped purse.
The eel lowered his eyelids in gloom. "Yo... también te quiero, Akilah. Have fun, okay?" The fashionable woman nodded with a smile as bright as a sirius star. "Of course!" She waved and skipped out of her room. The moment she left Otherworldly's line of sight, he felt extremely lonesome, as always.
He waited a few moments until exiting his sister's room himself. Scanning the premises, no one was visible in the hallway or center area. Otherworldly walked over to the kitchen, which everything looked fine. Until he saw the sink in the corner of his extra eye underneath the right. It was absolutely atrocious.
Not only was the small, grey bowl that rested on top of the enourmous pile of dishes on the brink of falling on the floor, each dish was nothing like the electric eel had ever seen before. Whoever used any of the dishes that were in the sink did not even make the slightest attempt to rinse anything off. Knowing Otherworldly, it didn't phase him. But if anyone else were to look at the mess, they would most certainly puke.
Just as the man in black and green was about to get started, he detected a presence that was not his own.
"I know you're here. Show yourself, Pleasant."
And just as demanded, a faded, kobi pink outline of a feminine figure appeared in the air, but soon disappearing as the woman herself emerged from it.
Her skin was made up of dark grey and dark taffy pink spots. Her elf ears were both a lighter shade of grey as she had small, gold rings in them.
She was currently in her normal work attire, as she must have gotten out of ARCTUS management.
She wore a solid, high neck, sleeveless, black bodysuit. And overtop of it was a pair of black, harnessed cargo pants. On her feet were a pair of black, lace up winter boots that reached the end of her calf. Other pieces of her gear were missing though. Otherworldly assumed that she simply didn't equip it all.
"Salutations. Is this... Otherworldly I am speaking to?" The elf asked, a mindless smile on her face with her eyes closed. The woman was blind, but the only thing it hindered was having trouble with figuring people out. In return for losing her sense of sight, her other ones are highly advanced, along with her mentality. She was a psychic, and the Commander often makes good use of her abilities.
"Indeed." Was all the eel had to reply with.
"Mmm... I sense an intense amount of dread within your mind. It is because your sister is not present, isn't it? I understand. You love her very, very much." Pleasant said as she noticed the sound of dishes occasionally clashing.
Otherworldly kept quiet. He didn't exactly care about what Pleasant had said, even though it was very true.
Pleasant knew how difficult it was to strike conversation with someone like Otherworldly if you weren't Foreseeable. She knew she wasn't going to get anywhere, so she decided not to waste time prying a conversation with the man in green. The short elf fixed her curly, black hair that was in an androgynous sidetails style. It was a bit different because of her hair type, but she still made it work in her favor.
"I know you're busy at the moment. But just know, Commander requests your presence as soon as possible."
Immediately after her sentence, the pink elf walked away to go down to the ground floor. Otherworldly had completely stopped scrubbing a plate and dropped it back into the sink along with the sponge. At that point, he had just abandoned one of his housework chores. Although, to someone like him, it didn't matter.
The eel's footsteps were heavy out of annoyance. He didn't hate his Commander, he hated the things he did to him. Horrid was such a tease in every way possible, all while getting a thrill from it. Otherworldly often refers to him as a 'devious, sadistic scumbag' on his bad days, but gets pissed off when the Vorbeckians do it.
Otherworldly treaded upstairs to the top floor, where one out of five of the Commander's offices were. As he took the final step to get up there, he immediately spotted the hallways he had to go through to get to said office.
Once the green man walked through the first hallway, he considered stopping to think, but there would be no point. Upon turning the corner, Otherworldly spotted the ominous door in the poorly lit hall. A strange light illuminated from the bottom of the metal door as the green eel swiftly approached it.
He sharply inhaled, raised his fist, and he knocked six times in a classic pattern anyone in the coalition would recognize. He waited for a validating response, but to no avail.
Otherworldly knocked again in the same pattern.
Nothing.
The electric eel had enough. The Commander was clearly in there. So, he decided to just enter the room himself.
Pushing down on the the silver handle, and shoving the door open, there he was.
"Oh my, Otherworldly! Barging in like that... what if I was doing something you wouldn't want to see...? Hm?" He playfully questioned his green recruit with narrow pupils and a hand slightly over his mouth.
Otherworldly did not say anything in response to his Commander's teasing. But he did visibly roll his eyes while he sat down in the chair across from his standing Commander.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me? I always took you for a shy boy, 'Worldly. This attitude is new." He retorted, smirking.
Otherworldly was letting Horrid get to him yet again. "It is something Akilah does when she is upset with something, it is interesting to me. And do not call me that. That nickname is reserved for only her."
The Commander couldn't help but let a sinister chuckle escape him. "You're sooo cute when you're angry! I know what you're thinking, and I'm sorry, I just can't help it!" He exclaimed, his smirk forming into a full on smile.
"You crustaceans have no shame. At this point, it would be for the better if the Supreme Leader sent you into an unknown oblivion just like how they did to Frivolous. Your lecherous acts will get you nowhere, Commandente."
At that point, Otherworldly wasn't having it, despite his face muscles not moving an inch and his tone not changing. However, it was still clear he was irritated. Horrid on the other hand, was only a bit surprised to what the eel had said.
"Aww, don't be like that. Let Frivolous rest in tranquility. Also, accusing me of being lecherous is just cruel! You know I'm not like that! Especially when the most beautiful woman in the galaxy is waiting for my return." The Commander asserted in a whimsical manner, glancing at a photo that was laying in his open drawer. It consisted of just his wife, Hippolyta. He remembers taking the picture, and loving it all the way from planet-to-planet. Even if he committed the cruelty of destroying hundreds of planets, and turning half the population of Zirinata into glass, he was still capable of love. Hippolyta was the only woman in any universe he needed. He loves her so much, some of the Night Coalition doesn't even believe she exists.
Otherworldly had basically gotten everything he wanted to say out of his system. Horrid opened up another drawer on the right of his desk and pulled out a file that held a singular paper, then slamming it flat onto the top of his desk.
"I'm glad you brought up that husk of a man."
The green eel glanced at his leader, then back at the file.
"What is this? Retrieved intel?"
Horrid shook his head, then smiled.
"Uh-uh. You see, my darling Otherworldly, this is a message from the Supreme Leader. He wants me to meet him somewhere tonight."
Otherworldly looked back and forth between the file and his leader again without a word.
The Commander noticed that the calm man in green wasn't catching on.
"Basically, in the letter, he just wants to talk to me in some confidential area, and I quote, peacefully." Horrid stated, intently exhaling.
"This is relevant to me, how?"
Otherworldly queried, raising one of his thin eyebrows while his third eye slowly looked around the room like it didn't want to be there.
The purple lobster giggled and ran his fingers through his extremely long, silky hair.
"Oh, mi absolutamente magnífica Otherworldly. You see, I want you to come with me. Just to make sure nothing goes... awry..." The way Horrid enunciated the last word of his sent chills down the eel's spine, giving him goosebumps. Otherworldly blinked a few times with two eyes as his third eye was still having a mind of its own.
"Okay. Will I just be... by your side, or...?" He trailed off, Horrid gladly answered.
"No. I have no idea what else is going to be expected but they want just me and only me. You will have to hide. And you're good at that. Getting my hands dirty is so tiring, but you don't have a problem doing it for me. They're not the type to set people up, but I'm still cautious."
The Commander directed all of his black hair to the right of his body, giving off a devilish smile.
"Suit up, my dear. I've got a date to get to."
With that, the electric eel got up on his feet, and quickly exited the room with thoughts filling up in his mind.
He didn't know if this entire thing would end as peacefully as it would start.
He didn't understand why the Supreme Leader would want a peaceful meet up with the Commander after everything he had done.
Ultimately, he didn't want to care, hence him never having interest in Horrid and Great Day's conflict, but he did.
Otherworldly was suspecting something, something big. A big issue.
A really big issue.
