Chapter 20: Waters
Nine days later...
Carmen: "Kick ass and take names, sounds like my cup of tea."
Carmen, Dominic, Ashley, Dawn, and Connor and the new team setting off.
Jeremy: "Good luck guys."
Dawn: "You are literally luck."
Matt: "Just be careful. The enemy had just as much time to get their bearings as you."
Connor: "We're too cool to get our asses handed to us."
Dominic: "Whatever you say."
They head out.
Meanwhile...
??? 2: "You know what you'll do if you overexert the Rewrite Wave."
The last two are discussing the current turn of events.
??? 1: "I'll try not to..."
He clenches his fist.
??? 1: "... especially after Ospinn."
Fifteen minutes later...
Carmen: "This'll be a pain in the ass."
The heroes have arrived at the waterworks by the local river, only to find it, as usual, desolate.
Dawn: "How do these guys even get these places empty by the time we get there?"
Ashley: "Don't know, and I don't care."
Connor cautiously opens the front door to find everything inside intact and the power isn't cut.
Connor: "We're clear."
They equip their Relay Gear.
Dominic: "I just hope this doesn't end badly."
They head inside.
Meanwhile...
Rizai: "The Rewrite Wave mustn't be able to surface again!"
Rizai stands in a room emptied of any materials.
Rizai: "The abilities to alter the past and future must stay as far apart as possible!"
Meanwhile...
Connor: "What's up with this?"
Test tubes, chemicals, water samples, and carts fill most rooms and hallways.
Dawn: "I doubt that they'd want people breaking-"
Enemies get the jump from behind.
Dawn: "Pollen Wave!"
The enemies start sneezing up a storm.
Connor: "Flare Wave!"
The itching sensation is followed up by actual burning.
Ashley: "Of course we weren't safe."
More enemies are heard from further ahead.
Dominic: "I doubt that they'd want to keep us bored while we're here."
They charge forward.
Meanwhile...
Jeremy: "(yawning) Looks like we get to take things easy."
The others are bored as hell.
Nicole: "It feels good."
Matthew is reading a math textbook.
Matthew: "Gives me time to read ahead."
Half hour later...
Connor: "Housekeeping?"
Ashley: "Don't bring that back."
The heroes have scoured room after room, leaving a room with a key card locked door as the last one.
Dawn: "Let's test out this bad boy."
Dawn inserts a blue key card, giving them the green light.
Carmen: "Let's hurry up, this place reeks of science class."
They open the door to find Rizai standing at the center.
Rizai: "Chaos Wave."
A blast of red lightning strikes Dominic's brain, but not damaging him in the slightest.
Connor: "Starting off with a bang I see."
Dominic begins smashing against the walls.
Dominic: "(struggling) What the hell did you do to me?!"
Rizai: "Rasputin has the ability to force one's body into pure chaos."
Dominic has no control over himself.
Dawn: "Well shit."
Dominic smacks into Ashley, but she pushes him back.
Ashley: "So our support is going to attack us while we attack you."
Rizai: "You all catch on quick."
Connor shoves Dominic to his back.
Rizai: "Subzero Wave."
Dawn gets a face full of ice and slams into the wall.
Carmen: "Just great."
Ashley: "Shadow Wave!"
Ashley avoids another attack and lands a good punch in the back of Rizai's skull.
Rizai: "Not yet!"
She takes aim at Carmen with the Chaos Wave.
Carmen: "Why me?"
A light blue light flashes in Carmen's eyes.
Rizai: "That's why."
Connor shoves Carmen out of the way of the attack.
Ashley: "(sighing) You fucking idiot."
Connor is going berserk.
Connor: "(struggling) Make some magic happen please!"
Rizai takes aim at Carmen.
Rizai: "I won't miss this time."
Carmen: "(smirking) Oh yeah? Haze Wave!"
Rizai's vision grows hazy.
Rizai: "(smirking) Just what we wanted."
Ashley: "Drain Wave!"
What little strength inside of Rizai is drained away, allowing the effects of the Chaos Wave to wear off.
Connor: "(relieved) Thank god."
Dawn is trying to shake off the attack while Ashley gets the police and Connor gets Nicole.
Dawn: "(groaning) That's just great."
Connor: "(on the phone) We did the job. You know what to do."
Connor hangs up as everyone takes off their Relay Gear.
Dominic: "So how's she going to-"
Nicole teleports into the center of the room.
Nicole: "Let's get out of here."
Everyone grabs on.
Carmen: "Gladly."
Nicole: "Teleportation Wave!"
They all teleport away...
