The Weapon of Mass Destruction

"Next is dark blue... and after that light green, then green..."

The cannon shifted through the colors. It felt like I was controlling an RGB lights cannon. It reminded me of my PC back home. Maybe I should have tried playing something before I left, but then again, if everyone's here, wouldn't the servers be dead?

Well, that didn't matter right now. The cannon was now at 50%.

"Okay, so as long as I don't cross the crimson zone, it should be fine, and it'll fill to 100%..."

Soon, the cannon shifted from green to yellow, then orange, and finally began to glow crimson. It was beautiful, and I really wanted to fire it.

But then something happened that made my heart sink. I might have put a little more than 100% of my energy into it. The whole cannon turned dark purple.
