The Internet (solo)

The 'internet'.

It all looked so simple when Malako did it. Click on a word here, type something in a box there, press the enter key.

It was only a few seconds before the video finished 'loading'.

Sebastian watched in silence as an unsavory character tried to take advantage of a pretty young girl, as angry insects swarmed to attack people as the man laughed, as the man hit the girl. She hadn't done anything to him! If he'd been there... Sebastian imagined several very painful things he could have done to the man, none of which would have been necessary, because as it turned out, the girl was quite capable of taking care of that herself.

The unicorn watched as the girl's blonde friend (who looked vaguely familiar for some reason) squeezed her hand in support, watched as the sudden change came over her. The crystal eyes, the buzzing of her voice when she shouted, “We are legion”, the swarm, millions of insects strong, turning on the man.
