Chapter 10: Mindset of Blood

Next weekend...

Lucas: "(exhausted) It just gets worse every day."

Nia shakes them back into reality.

Nia: "Less school, more fighting."

Bell: "You can sleep later!"

They begin to enter Zero Fiction.

Meanwhile...

A girl with braided, red hair, light orange shirt, navy blue jeans, and very pale skin has just set down a large suitcase on a pink bed. A rope is sitting on the windowsill.

Girl: "That's everything."

A ghost of a girl similar in height and age floats behind her.

Ghost: "Grace, shouldn't we go see how the others are doing?"

Grace: "(excited) You're right Faith! Maybe Lucas and Shoma are waiting for us!"

Grace darts out the door.

Faith: "(sarcastically) Great."

Meanwhile...

The heroes have arrived in front of a distorted bar.

Alexis: "Uh oh..."

Samuel: "We're underage!"

They begin to walk inside.

Ethan: "Then don't drink."

They step inside, only to find a maze of countertops, wine bottles, puddles of beer, and even shattered glass.

Amanda: "(nauseous) I think I'm going to be sick."

Soldiers stumble through the maze.

Chloe: "You can puke later!"

They ready for combat...

Meanwhile...

Grace: "They already dived in?"

Camilla: "You can still catch up."

Faith: "Just go!"

Grace: "Zero Fiction!"

Meanwhile...

Ike: "Have we been here already?"

The group feel like they've gone in circles.

Shoma: "Everything looks the same."

Lucas: "And toxic."

Ethan: "Joking at a time like this?"

Samuel: "We've gotta have something in a time like this."

Bell: "Just don't let it get in our way."

They keep going.

Meanwhile...

Grace: "How are we going to find them?"

Grace is holding a light pink bow giving off a strange aura.

Faith: "Just go?"

Grace notices a blood trail.

Grace: "Bingo."

Grace follows the trail.

Two hours later...

Amanda: "I can see the light!"

They have arrive at the center, with a pool of what they hope is red wine.

Chloe: "I'm already starting to feel sick."

???: "(seductively) Are you ready to have some fun?"

Samuel: "Nope!"

A woman wearing very suggestive clothing is standing on top of the tallest wine bottle.

???: "(seductively) I'm going to have... my own kind of fun."

Shoma: "Um... how about no?"

Amanda fires a bullet that grazes her cheek.

Nia: "Judging by your attitude, you must be Lust."

Lust: "Oh yes."

Lust jumps down just behind the lake.

Lust: "Then don't keep me waiting."

Magma drips from Shoma's sword.

Shoma: "We don't keep anyone waiting."

Lust: "(smirking) Good."

The group prepare for a pincer attack.

Lust: "Oh, that won't work."

Mid attack, Lust grabs Ike and Shoma from the right and throws them into the others like bowling pins.

Alexis: "(in pain) Guess you don't need a weapon to be a threat."

They readjust their stances.

Lucas: "We need a better plan!"

Lust picks up some of the liquid from the pond.

Lust: "Enjoy."

Lust tosses it into Shoma's eyes, making him unable to see.

Shoma: "(blinded) That definitely isn't wine!"

Alexis tries to rub it off his eyes, but Lust has already grabbed them both by the necks.

Lust: "I'll break your necks nice and slow."

Lust deflects any attacks with just her left leg.

Lust: "Oh don't be hasty. Everyone gets a turn."

They're nearing the grave.

Alexis: "(weakly) I... can't..."

???: "Lucas!"

A pink arrow strikes Lust in the leg, causing her to let go.

Lust: "Huh?"

Grace is aiming an arrow straight between her eyes.

Grace: "No one hurts Lucas and gets away with it!"

Faith: "(sighing) Oh my fucking god."

Shoma gets the substance out of his eyes.

Lucas: "Aw crap!"

Nia: "Got lost?"

Grace menacingly walks towards Lust.

Faith: "Followed your blood trail."

Lust: "Aw well, guess I'm finished."

Grace holds her bow firmly.

Lust: "Master Verse does say he wants the bond back."

Grace is holding the arrow at point blank.

Grace: "Not going to fight back?"

Lust isn't nearby anyone else by now. Plus, her leg wound won't let her stand up.

Lust: "Just be gentle."

Grace lets go, turning Lust into a kebab.

Grace: "Sayonara, bitch."

The pond erupts with the liquid, devouring the area as Lust leaves her Soul Coin behind.

Alexis: "(grabbing coin) Then let's regroup."

They exit just before being consumed...
