Chapter 16: Attack When Weak
The next morning...
Jeremy: "(yawning) Another day, another register."
Jeremy is currently on his way to work.
Jeremy: "(sighing) And school starts up next week."
Jeremy stands in front of the mall.
Jeremy: "Hm?"
Jeremy steps inside, only for the inside to be completely empty.
Jeremy: "I guess the mall did just open..."
Jeremy begins to walk towards work, still seeing absolutely nobody.
Jeremy: "Uh oh..."
Jeremy pulls out his phone and calls Connor.
Connor: "(drowsy) What's up Jeremy?"
Jeremy: "Connor, go get Ashley. I'm getting attacked in the mall!"
Connor: "(shrieking) Already?!"
Jeremy begins to run towards Matt's.
Jeremy: "I'm going to get Dominic!"
Connor: "Alright!"
The call ends as Jeremy equips his Relay Gear.
Jeremy: "(in head) Didn't Dawn mention something about..."
Jeremy arrives in front of Matt's.
Jeremy: "Dominic!"
Jeremy manages to open the surprising unlocked door, head upstairs, and shakes Dominic awake.
Dominic: "(drowsy) Shouldn't you be at work? Why are you in Relay Gear?"
Dozens of footsteps are heard outside the café.
Jeremy: "We're under attack!"
Dominic immediately puts on a set of clothes and his Relay Gear.
Dominic: "Don't they wait for us?!"
Jeremy: "I don't think that they wait anymore."
They hurry downstairs, where they find their weapons.
Dominic: "What about Connor and Ashley?"
Jeremy grabs his bat.
Jeremy: "On their way."
They take a peek outside, seeing a few members crowding around Jeremy's work.
Jeremy: "Why are they there? They should know that I can clearly see what's going on..."
Dominic grabs a coffee off of the counter and quickly drinks it.
Dominic: "I think we'd better find out."
They run as fast as they can.
Jeremy: "Looking for me?"
Jeremy summons Alexander.
???: "(in pain) Aw what the fuck?!"
As they arrive, they hear the voice of a female in pain from inside the establishment.
Dominic: "Who's that?"
Dominic summons Picasso as the voice gets louder.
???: "(in pain) Why do I feel like I'm going to fucking explode?!"
The members line up like an army.
Jeremy: "Focus Wave!"
Jeremy swiftly disposes of the members, but taking a bit out of him.
Jeremy: "(exhausted) I still feel like I'm getting hit with the Gravity Wave."
Dominic opens the door to find Dawn, in a teal T-shirt, black, leather jacket, and brown fur-lined boots on the floor.
Dawn: "(breathing heavily) Huh?"
She turns to find the two by the doorway.
Dominic: "Need some help?"
Dominic and Jeremy hoist Dawn into a chair.
Dawn: "(breathing heavily) Why are you wearing clothes like that?"
Jeremy and Dominic look awkwardly at each other.
Jeremy: "Uh..."
In the blink of an eye, Connor and Ashley arrive with the power of the Quantum Wave.
Connor: "Hey gu-"
They notice Dawn, experiencing the symptoms of an Echo awakening, but appears to be as bad as Ashley's.
Ashley: "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Connor: "I don't think so..."
