Chapter 27: Rewrite
Connor: "H-Huh?!"
The heroes are dumbfounded.
Zemenis: "I have the ability to rewrite the past..."
He looks at Jeremy.
Zemenis: "... and he has the ability to change the future."
The heroes have a double take.
Matthew: "Any attack we land can just get reset?!"
Zemenis: "Correct."
Carmen: "How do you beat someone who can't get hit?!"
Zemenis: "It's simple, you can't."
Nicole: "Dream Wave!"
Their allies get their strength back.
Zemenis: "(in head) Only one person has ever gotten through my defenses."
The heroes send as many Waves as possible in a circle to attempt to hit him that way.
Zemenis: "Rewrite Wave!"
Time rewinds to the second the attacks were fired and Zemenis manages to leap above the attacks and have them collide in the center.
Ashley: "(sighing) Oh my fucking god."
Dawn takes aim as Matthew activates a Hawkeye Wave.
Dawn: "Now you're really pissing me off!"
Zemenis: "(in head) I need to give it a small break."
Dawn fires and makes a direct attack with his hand.
Dominic: "His Wave needs to cool down!"
Connor aims a Subzero Wave.
Connor: "(focusing) Thanks for the tip!"
The Wave makes contact with his stomach, causing him to cough a little blood.
Zemenis: "Quick to notice I see!"
Zemenis goes all out evasive as the heroes seize their moment.
Zemenis: "Looks like that Progressive Wave is in constant effect."
Zemenis rewinds just before a nice shot from Carmen smashes his chest into pieces.
Zemenis: "No matter what I do to the past, you keep changing the future."
Jeremy: "The future is always changing!"
Jeremy lands a Focus Wave as Dominic activates the Artist's Wave.
Zemenis: "(smirking) For better or for worse?"
Zemenis keeps rewinding time and the heroes are starting to run low on steam.
Dawn: "(exhausted) Put a sock in it."
Zemenis grabs Dominic by the skull and throws him into Nicole.
Nicole: "(exhausted, in pain) Even if we get his Wave on cooldown..."
Dominic: "(exhausted, in pain) ... we're already burnt out."
Zemenis: "Precisely."
He knows that the heroes simply don't have the stamina to keep unleashing a barrage of attacks forever.
Connor: "(exhausted) You know full well that you're fucked!"
Connor can't react as Zemenis picks him up by his Relay Gear.
Zemenis: "All I need to do is knock him out and the Progressive Wave loses any and all effect until he wakes up in our facility."
Connor is lammed into the ground with a simultaneous Shatter Wave, causing him to puke up some blood and temporarily unconsciousness.
Matthew: "(in head) I need to land my shot."
Dawn and Carmen can't seem to move their legs.
Carmen: "(exhausted) We're screwed, aren't we?"
Zemenis slams them with a Slam Wave, knocking them into the edge of the roof.
Zemenis: "Now for the remaining girl and the Streamline Echo."
Jeremy's eyes are filled with sweat, blinding him from another Slam Wave that smashes him into Ashley.
Ashley: "(exhausted, in pain) Great."
Jeremy is losing consciousness.
Zemenis: "Now to deal with the one who shifted our plans from the very-"
Milliseconds from Jeremy passing out.
Matthew: "(determined) Ring Wave!"
Matthew binds Zemenis in the nick of time.
Zemenis: "(struggling) D-Dammit!"
Matthew is the only one able to stand on his feet.
Matthew: "It's over!"
Zemenis can't call Shakespeare.
Carmen: "(exhausted) Hurry this up already!"
Matthew grabs Zemenis by his chest.
Matthew: "You're through!"
With the help of an Adrenaline Wave, Matthew throws Zemenis off of the building and crashing into the sidewalk.
Dawn: "(exhausted) Just before he passed out..."
Police and medics are at the scene below.
Matthew: "(exhausted) Did it so he had minimal time to..."
Matthew falls to the floor.
Matthew: "(drowsy) ... react."
Medics arrive at the roof.
Medics: "Get these children downstairs now!"
Stretchers arrive for the eight heroes...
