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..."
