---------------------

(No one's pov)

Life always takes you where you least expect. It doesn't matter how much you prepare for it, how much you work for it, for it will always throw you off your feet when you least expect it. You think you have your guard on, and then you forget that slowly you have slipped into a state of relaxation and before you know it adrenaline rushes through your veins as a million thoughts crowd your brain and you realise that you need to fight for all that you are and represent or drown into an ambyss of nothingness like many before you. Sometimes you loose the fight, sometimes you barely manage to pass by it, but no matter where it takes you, weather you like it or not, you wind up on a shore. Maybe it's a shore where you wanted to get to, maybe it's somewhere else entierly, maybe it's somewhere where your skin itches and your heart aches, but you are not allowed to drown yourself, because even if you do, the waters wind you up to a shore, and will it truly be better to blindly throw yourself into this scary sea unruled, wild and savage than to work with what you had been surrounded?

That's where life brought these three. Stranded on the same island, each facing a challange of their own, but surviving thanks to the help of each other, which is in the end, the greater goal for them all.

Uzi wouldn't have dreamt in a million years to be where she is now, standing between murder drones like an equal, no, more than that, like a superior. Her authority, her presence, everything about her was a threat to V. Despite what people in the colony have said about Uzi her entire life, she remained determined and fierce even if they constantly tried to stab at her core, to weaken her, to poison her with their foolishness, and that made her stronger. It has left scars, but these scars were most feared for they represent that life tried to take you down and you fought fearlessly against it. V saw her scars. She saw these bleeding wounds and the marks of stitches.

She saw the true danger she represented. Not because of her wits and tricks, not because of her skills and schemes, but because she was still standing, true to herself and to what she believes in. It was strange... It made V feel strange. It made V look at Uzi in a light that she hasn't looked at someone before... Uzi was better than her in every aspect. She was wounded, and her scars remained to tell the story of her fearsome battles. She was torn apart, yet she stood her ground. She was lost without anything to catch herself tho other than mere facades and phantoms of illusions, yet she knew exactly where she wanted to head towards to, and she would use anything that tries to stop her as an opportunity to get to her goal. A strong feeling of respect made it's way within V's mind. Uzi wasn't any ordinary drone, and that annoyed her. Not because she wasn't easy prey, but because Uzi wasn't challenging her. That's how nature works. The strong ones fight until the one that gets tired and sloppy dies out, so that's what V was waiting for. A fight, one to one on their own strenghts to see who would win, but that never happened, and unless you are oblivious to the world, you would know that when two stronger beasts do not fight it is for a common purpose, an alliance for survival, and that may include more than it meets the eye, for it could mean that pairing up together could be the most successful resort in such drastic of circumstances.

Uzi was between what was considered her world's top apex predators, and not only did she stuck by their side she also led them. It was nature's course after all. She defeated their previous leader and she took her place upon her rightful rank for such bravery and feat. For that N couldn't help but look up to her. She didn't have wings, she didn't have claws or chainsaw hands or other things like that, yet she was so powerful. He was given these upgrades, served on a silver plattern, while she has built herself from scratch.

Uzi may have been a little rough but at the end of the day she cared, and that was what made N feel the safest in the world. Yes he had a strong sense of protecting her, but her presence alone made him feel like the planet could collapse and he would still be fine because she was there with him.

Uzi knew N's feelings. She had such a charm that he opened up to her inside the pod without hesitance. He told her about V, about J, how he feels about them and how they treat them, and despite N's actions of hurting her and endangering her and her entire colony she pushed him in her own way onto a better path. She has saved his life and got rid of the one that caused him harm, while she also managed to make him finally interact with V. Yes the fight was violent and all that, but Uzi was the one to make the biggest turn in N's life, and she planned it even you could say! What reason would she have to pick out J instead of V other than the fact that J harmed N? She took in consideration N's feelings, she took in consideration how he adores V and how he fears J, and that is what she did. She was aware how deadly her railgun could be and she didn't want to take away from him the one that until then made him feel joy. At least that is how everything felt to N.

He saw her as intelligent, brave, strong, determined, fearless and amazing! N truly felt a connection and he didn't know how to express it. He didn't understand it and he couldn't make sense of it, but he knew that he cared for her deeply.

V was a strange drone, and some things simply didn't add up to Uzi. How could she have gone from a mindless psychotic oil thirsty killer into a more docile form? Either she was pretending, or that's who she truly was. But which way was it? Was V pretending to be docile and her outbursts were her true nature, or was V pretending all this time to be ruthless cold and merciless and these displays of aggression were still a make pretend due to the situation she was in?

This seemed fairly easy to Uzi to figure out. You can't go from savagely ripping off the heads of worker drones to hissing like a cat unless you got a serious head concocioun and last time she checked murder drones heal rather easily, even if N's kick to her head would have done something it would have quickly repaired. Uzi couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. V surely showed to be strong, but Uzi felt like she also hid her soften part, a gentle docile part that was predominent in N's behaviour, one that may have been numbed from the fear of being tackled down and thrown around like N was, and who could possibly blame her? Whatver she has been through of Uzi knowing or not must have been horrible but the fact that she still had this nicer side to herself showed that even if her true self was very deep down under thousands of layers, it was still there, and in this awful word it was hard to keep even that much intact. Uzi admired V for that, more than she would like to admit. She sometimes couldn't help but wonder how different were her and V truly.

V was a puzzle, but not the type that you could open up after a riddle has been solved, not even after multiples were decifered as if it was all an escape room. No. She was like a paiting, every single stroke of a brush on this wonderful masterpiece had a thousand more behind it as a base, shading or lightning. Every single detail that you could only see with a specially formed eye for such delicate and refined works of art, something that N didn't have yet, and he'd have to settle to trying to look at this wonderful work with a magnifying glass or bynoculars, but they aren't made for such purpose. N couldn't see deep into V. He couldn't understand her, he couldn't figure her out, or her process of turning the way she did, but that didn't mean he couldn't appreciate who she was.

She was strong, intelligent, caring. She masked all that ached her with a sheet that confused many, but even so through it she shined.

She shined like a bright star, and just like a star even if she couldn't be understood she was loved and adored beyond anything she could ever phantom her mind to, beyond anything she would allow herself to accept. She was a wort of art, he wasn't a painter, he wasn't a critique, he was simply a viewer, but it didn't mean he was any less blessed to have the oportunity of seeing her in all of her glory.

N was a strange drone. He was joyful and clumsy yet he was so careful and considerate of everyone. He tried his best to approach people, to make them feel good, to make them happy. V saw it as dumb. Not because he was dumb, no, he was a foolish pure golden heart. She saw it as dumb because he'd get walked all over. He was ignored, treated harshly and cruely, and that was dumb. He didn't deserve it, and even if it was a life lesson it wasn't justified. V saw him as too pure for this world. Even with his crazed moments at times he was still an awfully good person and that hurt her. It hurt her to see him get hurt. It hurt her to see him so alone, but in a sense she was happy, because he wasn't bothered by any of it. Just like an innocent child he moved on from it all, as if he tripped while playing, got up, and continued with it. He was there for her, even if she didn't allow him to be, he was still there, patiently waiting and his presence alone calmed her down, reason why she didn't trust herself near him, but...things change.

N was a cute and weird person. He could be absolutely unhinged in the most crazed manner possible, and yet he was as docile and as sweet as he could get. He was nice to Uzi. He was caring of her. He was apologetic and polite. He made her feel happy and safe. He made her feel wanted, something that Uzi never felt, which made Uzi want him in her life even more. First time they met she was ready to strike him down and she did, and now she couldn't possibly her life being otherwise than it was now, and it was all thanks to him.

She was so greatful to have him in her life. He has brought her out of her shell, he has accepted her for who she was, and he has made her feel like never before. He has brought her from her dull life to one full of adventure. One where she gets the answers she has been seeking her whole life and one where she got to experience it with people that truly cared for her, one way or another.

No one talks about how V was willing to sacrifice her neck in order to protect N in that prom day... No one talks about how V and Uzi slept together in the ladning pod as N slept outside. How Uzi would bicker with V only to eventually fall asleep on the floor within V's reach. V could have killed her at any given time, but she didn't. She gently placed Uzi in a warmer corner of the pod during her sleep so that when she awoke she was 'out of reach' from V who was tied up and 'unable' to move from her chair. No one talks about how N saved Uzi countless times and no one talks how Uzi saved N's life as well. They all saved each other, more than in just one way.

They never talked about it. They got stranded on the same shore and while they didn't want to admit it or knew how to, they silently agreed with no words or actions that it was the best change in their life.

They showed their affection and love in their own way. They were extremly different, and extremly confusing, but that is what brought them closer more than they could ever realise. They didn't know what the 'best' way to express their love was, but that didn't mean that the others didn't recieve their affection.

Love knows no limits or boundries, for it is a language spoken as old as time that doesn't need to be manifested within the limited understanding of one's capability of thinking. It is an energy surrounding us, summoned with ease, and dimished by only the strongest of storms, and even then, a candle, a sparkle, a glimmer of it shines brighter in the darkness, showing all of it's glory.

The end
