Chapter 35: Hardware and Software

Dr. Brim: "Austin? Aegis?"

Brim, Austin and Aegis step to the left.

Denton: "Isaac? Guys?"

Isaac, Dr. LeeAnn, BroBot and all of Denton's Creations walk alongside their enemies.

Kyle: "Any catchphrases?"

They stop a dozen meters away from base.

Isaac: "Bitch, everything I say is a catchphrase."

Austin: "Good to know."

Denton, Kyle, Cole, and Tori make some distance.

Aegis: "It won't help."

Binary swirls around Austin and Aegis.

Yukiko: "I thought that you lost your powers!"

Risa: "Same."

A purple haze dorms around Brim.

Dr. Brim: "This world and ours don't abide by the same rules."

Brim is surrounded by the haze.

Dr. LeeAnn: "That's just fantastic."

BroBot: ":'(."

Aegis: "Watch."

Binary flies at them at blistering speeds, with the heroes barely dodging in time.

Dr. LeeAnn: "That was just coding!"

LeeAnn begins syncing with Isaac's systems.

Micheal: "I've never underestimated a computer since our first scuffle."

The melee users charge in.

Dr. Brim: "My virus has a little upgrade."

The haze extends from Brim's back and slugs the melee users a twenty feet away.

Risa: "(in pain) What the hell is that?!"

Isaac: "Hey!"

Isaac charges his cannon with the metallic aura surrounding him and BroBot.

Isaac: "Synergy Attack, Virus Buster!"

BroBot and Isaac fire at Brim.

Austin: "Here."

The haze and more binary from Austin blocks the blast.

Dr. LeeAnn: "They've got a perfect defense!"

Aegis fires more binary at the ranged users.

Denton: "Aw come on!"

Aegis: "I wouldn't have forgotten about my Catalyst."

Denton fires electric bullets to defend them from the attacks.

Tori: "Guys! Get up!"

The melee fighters shake it off.

Robert: "Sorry about that!"

Cole: "Stop talking and start fighting!"

Zack: "I like the sound of that!"

They try a pincer maneuver.

Meanwhile...

The short male with the glove and his equally short counterpart are strolling by Saguaro.

Gloved Male: "Edo,, why are we here?"

Edo: "I have no idea Anthony."

They head east of the school.

Anthony: "And we were going to have the battle that everyone was waiting for. Even we were excited!"

Edo: "I miss Mr. Higglebottom..."

Anthony: "Who?"

Edo: "(embarrassed) It's um-"

They can see binary and purple haze swirl into the sky.

Edo: "I think that I'll talk about it later!"

They equip themselves into wild west looking gear.

Anthony: "But isn't that Aegis and Austin's old powers?"

Edo: "All the more reason to run!"

They hurry towards the coding.

Meanwhile...

Dr. Brim: "My virus is my shield."

The melee users can't get close and the ranged users are locked in a permanent dodge.

Cole: "This is just ridiculous!"

Dr. LeeAnn is having trouble connecting to Isaac.

Dr. LeeAnn: "I can't connect!"

Isaac takes a binary smash to the face.

Isaac: "(in pain) Well we're fucked."

They're on their ropes.

Aegis: "Should we start holding back?"

Brim and Austin stop their attacks just before they make deadly blows on the melee users.

Isaac: "What a bunch of fucking cowards."

Dr. Brim: "Sorry, but we have our orders."

Dr. LeeAnn: "Orders?"

The attacks are pulled back.

Austin: "Have you said too much?"

Dr. Brim: "I'm fine."

The ranged users can finally gain their footing.

Kyle: "So are you going to let us slip? Did you just come here to show off?"

Aegis: "No..."

Four gunshots are heard behind Aegis.

Austin: "We're here on the President's orders."

They step out of the way of the bullets, revealing Anthony and Edo taking aim.

Anthony: "Aw come on!"

Yukiko: "We've got both of our residential idiots!"

Anthony/ Kyle: "Hey!"

A binary aura surrounds the gun users.

Isaac: "(disappointed) Why didn't Bots like PartyBot end up here?"

BroBot: "^_^."

Dr. Brim: "(in head) Excellent, so a Catalyst under attack does call forth it's Creations."

Austin sends binary at the two.

Austin: "Such a shame that your other friends aren't here."

They power slide under the attack.

Edo: "They're going to show Austin!"

They end up next to Denton.

Dr. LeeAnn: "Finally!"

LeeAnn has connected to Isaac's systems.

Cole: "Turn this around!"

The aura around the three gunslingers glows bright as auras around Isaac and Dr. LeeAnn glows bright.

Isaac/ Dr. LeeAnn: "Synergy Attack, Laser Edge!"

Isaac's energy blade goes head on against the virus.

Denton, Anthony, and Edo: "Synergy Attack..."

Denton fires two bullets.

Denton: "... Tri..."

Anthony fires two bullets.

Anthony: "... Plasma..."

Edo fires two bullets.

Edo: "... Destroyer!"

Nothing happens.

Denton: "Never come back."

Aegis: "Real-"

The Japanese kanji for lightning flashes before a MASSIVE lighting bolt crashes down from above.

Risa: "For the anime!"

Zack: "These jokes are getting really old."

Isaac is pushing his body to it's limits.

BroBot: ":O."

Isaac: "Bye, bye motherfucker!"

Both attacks end in giant explosions.

Tori: "Did you get them?"

The dust is beginning to settle.

Dr. LeeAnn: "I hope so. I just wanted to have another nice, calm day."
