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?"
