Chapter 21: Separation

The doors to the stadium and outside are completely blocked, along with a divide between the two halves of the hall.

Jeremy: "(coughing) Guess they didn't finish repairs."

Dawn: "(coughing) Is everyone okay?"

The dust settles, revealing that Connor, Ashley, and Dominic aren't with them.

Jeremy: "That's not a good sign."

Jeremy calls Connor on his phone.

Dawn: "Lured us into a false sense of security before splitting us up when we're vulnerable."

Connor picks up.

Connor: "You guys okay?"

Jeremy: "Dawn and I aren't hurt."

Connor: "(relieved) At least we can confirm no one is six feet under."

They equip their Relay Gear.

Jeremy: "Listen, we're trapped and the only way we're to meet up is the field entrance on the other side of the stadium."

Connor: "Alright, we'll meet up there."

They hang up.

Jeremy: "Let's get going."

Dawn: "Thought you'd never ask."

They take the right passage.

Meanwhile...

Connor: "We're heading for the other stadium entrance."

Dominic: "Alright, let's try to be-"

Two of the players stand in their way, with a black glow in their eyes.

Ashley: "Great. Now the baseball team is after us."

They're tossing baseballs in their hands.

Connor: "Dominic and I need to be careful."

Dominic and Connor cover their-

Ashley: "(sighing) Just hurry and knock them out!"

They send their balls to ricochet across the walls.

Connor: "Quantum Wave!"

Connor weaves his way through before landing a hole in one in their guts, knocking them out.

Dominic: "I'll activate the Artist Wave when we meet up!"

Ashley: "And we'd better not drag our feet!"

They keep going down the left path.

Meanwhile...

Dawn: "What kind of Wave does this?!"

They're fending off two players as well.

Jeremy: "Let's hope it can't work on us!"

Jeremy Focus Waves one to a point of lightly cutting, knocking him out.

Dawn: "My Revolution Wave is useless here!"

Dawn's eyes flash red.

Dawn: "Maybe not this one, Venom Wave!"

One of them is hit with a small, purple arrow. This causes mild poisoning and an inability to move.

Jeremy: "Nice! Do you know when it'll wear off?"

Dawn: "Nope."

Dawn falls onto her knee.

Dawn: "Great."

The poisoned player is unconscious.

Jeremy: "Then let's hope he-"

Jeremy's eyes flash green.

Jeremy: "Nevermind! Vitality Wave!"

Jeremy's hand glows as the poison is removed from the body.

Jeremy: "This'll be handy."

Jeremy stumbles for a bit.

Dawn: "Come on, we've still have a bit."

They keep going.

Meanwhile...

Connor: "Flare Wave!"

Connor has discovered a new Wave as well in another battle, using it to trap another in rubble.

Ashley: "Drain Wave."

Ashley as well, draining energy from another and adding it to her supply.

Dominic: "At this rate, they won't have a chance to blink."

Connor falls onto his knee.

Connor: "Perfect timing."

Dominic helps Connor onto his feet.

Dominic: "Take it easy."

They continue...
