Chapter 57: Remix the System
Cale: "S-So what do you have p-planned?"
The seventh team has 4 assault rifles, 5 strange soldiers, 2 snipers, and 2 shotguns to deal with.
Kyle: "(confident) To enjoy their dying moments at the end of my-"
All soldiers aim at Kyle.
Dawn: "More like they want your dying moments."
Grace takes aim with Tori.
Faith: "Well, it looks like Kyle's going to be right."
Rose has purple energy form in her hands.
Rose: "It hasn't been decided yet."
Phillip: "All the more reason to fight, am I right?"
The soldiers spread out their aim.
Tori: "It's poetry."
Everyone jumps to the sides to avoid the first string of bullets.
Grace: "I don't think it's time for poetry."
The bow users are have issues aiming at the snipers.
Kyle: "The bullets are screwing with our aim!"
Dawn has spores glide through the air.
Dawn: "Spore Wave."
Some soldiers begin sneezing, ruining their aim.
Faith: "Not quite there..."
A sniper bullet is sent flying into Cale's stomach.
Cale: "I-It's nothing!"
The wound heals itself.
Phillip: "I'd do some altering but..."
The only unaffected soldiers are the strange ones.
Rose: "We get the picture."
The snipers have adjusted themselves to the sneezing and have hit Tori's left foot.
Tori: "(in pain) I-I can't move my leg!"
Dawn takes aim.
Dawn: "Talk about a load of shit."
Kyle yanks Tori out of the way of a stray bullet.
Kyle: "Well, we're all ranged fighters."
Cale forms her black vines as Phillip's flames surround his hands.
Rose: "Not entirely."
Phillip: "Yeah man, did you forget about my awesomeness?"
Kyle: "(awkwardly) Y-Yeah..."
They prepare for another attack.
Meanwhile...
The individual around 7ft tall and with the hammer is sitting by the riverbank.
Tall Male: "Where are they?"
He looks towards the sky.
Tall Male: "Guess all I really can do is believe..."
He's been ignoring the sounds of bullets, thinking that they're just part of the scenery.
Tall Male: "Guess I'd better get going."
He picks up his hammer as he begins to stand.
Tall Male: "Where should I go from-"
Cale's voice is heard through the bullets.
Cale: "R-Rose!"
Tall Male: "Is that... Cale?"
Voices of the heroes begin to echo through the bullets, clearly desperate.
Tall Male: "I'd better see what's going on!"
He runs across the shallow river and towards the bullets.
Meanwhile...
Grace: "Got 'em!"
Grace and Kyle have dealt with the snipers, but the strange soldiers and shotguns are getting close.
Dawn: "My Spore Wave can't last much longer."
Phillip and Cale deal with two strange soldiers with the vines skewering their necks.
Phillip: "Ah yes, we're about to have a bullets in our chests."
The Wave wears off.
Rose: "(blocking) We're stuck in a corner!"
Dawn and Grace begin an evasive attempt, but they're too slow and get some AR bullets in the thighs.
Faith: "We've got to pick up the pace!"
Tori still can't move.
Tori: "(in pain) It's not as easy as you'd think."
Rose's hands are covered in green energy as she begins defending against strange soldiers.
Phillip: "Well yeah, shotguns are the bane of most of your-"
Rose: "(struggling) Help!"
Rose takes a shotgun shell to the back, causing her stance to break and the strange soldiers to inflict some lethal damage.
Cale: "I'm-"
Kyle shoots half of them in the back of the neck while taking a few bullets to his right arm.
Kyle: "(in pain) I can't keep going."
Kyle's blood trickles down his arm.
Grace: "(in pain) We need a-"
The ground begins to shake.
???: "- miracle?"
The tall male has struck his hammer into the ground, seemingly the source of the tremors.
Cale: "Veld!"
Faith: "A friend?"
The soldiers lose their balance and fall to the ground.
Veld: "I thought those sounds were part of the scenery."
Awkward moment of silence...
Dawn: "Not the strangest thing I've heard these past few months."
More AR bullets fly towards Veld as a rainbow aura forms around him.
Cale: "O-Oh! You can trust Ph-Phillip here."
Phillip gets back on his feet, purple flames glowing bright.
Veld: "Those clothes..."
Phillip: "Didn't Cale say you can trust me?"
The aura glows bright as the tremors subside.
Rose: "Why'd you do-"
Phillip/ Veld: "Synergy Attack..."
The earth begins to shake so much that the ground begins to break beneath the soldiers...
Phillip/ Veld: "... Belief Synchronization!"
The ground beneath gives away, sending the soldiers to the depths below.
Phillip: "Any witty comments?"
The ground reseals, but with a lingering mark to show what had occurred.
Tori: "(in pain) I don't have one."
Veld hurries over to the injured.
Veld: "Looks like those guys did a number on you."
Veld pulls out a small container of ointment.
Veld: "This'll be a temporary solution until we can get you some real treatment."
Veld starts with Tori.
Cale: "Good idea. We have n-no idea how far away the others are."
Veld: "Others?"
Rose: "We're quite the group."
Phillip: "The only two left are Thoris and Nyria."
Veld moves onto Grace.
Veld: "Nyria's still missing?!"
Faith: "Yeah... the ones not mentioned like Owen or Makoh are in other groups."
Veld: "I-I see..."
Sounds like there's only one more battle.
Dawn: "Who's left?"
