Chapter 16: Ricochet

Wednesday...

Marcel: "(stretching) Hey guys how're you-"

Ethan: "(sighing) Can we just have one day where you three don't belong in a zombie apocalypse film?"

They're currently back at the pharmacy, but Camilla isn't there yet.

Bell: "I don't think so."

They take a minute to snap back into reality.

Chloe: "S-Sorry!"

Faith: "You really need to ask your teachers to dial it back a bit."

Shoma: "Y-Yeah."

They make the dive.

Meanwhile...

Verse: "(disappointed) You've just got to love Sloth..."

Sloth had departed to Zero Fiction a while ago.

Verse: "(face palming) I really didn't want to have to do this, but..."

A woman with a chainsaw is resting behind Verse.

Verse: "(smirking) I'd might as well use the connection at the second they're done."

Verse has a spark in his eyes.

Verse: "But now to really see what they're capable of."

Meanwhile...

Samuel: "Anyone bring an air tank?"

They're standing inside the water of a gigantic fountain, with coins the size of houses littering the bottom.

Amanda: "I don't think we need them."

They're still breathing like normal.

Lucas: "Well, we've still got the same mission."

Grace: "Question, where the hell is the guy?"

???: "(yawning) Up here..."

They can hear a voice coming from the top of the fountain.

Shoma: "You're actually giving yourself away?"

???: "(yawning) I can't be bothered with something like this..."

Nia: "Well, you'd better be ready!"

A few Soldiers surround them.

???: "Whatever."

Bell: "Good to know he's enthusiastic."

They begin to fight.

Three hours later...

Ike: "(struggling) I can't get up!"

Ike is struggling to climb the fountain against the current.

Nia: "(sighing) Hop on."

Nia has Ike hop onto her back as they finally reach the top level.

Tyler: "Thankfully that first level didn't suck."

They now stand below a large man taking a nap on top of the spout of water.

Lucas: "(awkwardly) How can anyone sleep like that?"

Amanda fires four bullets at his back, dealing minimal damage.

Chloe: "Uh..."

The man swings himself to face the heroes.

???: "(yawning) You know who I am."

Faith: "Sloth."

Sloth goes back to sleep.

Sloth: "(snoring) Just try and kill me."

Shoma: "I don't think that it'll require much trying."

More attacks fly at Sloth, but they keep doing next to nothing.

Samuel: "(awkwardly) We're going to be here a while..."

Two hours later...

Shoma: "(exhausted) Finally..."

They finally have taken down Sloth after two hours of blood, sweat, and especially tears.

Nia: "(exhausted) i'm going to take a two week long nap..."

Alexis grabs the Soul Coin as it falls onto her head.

Ike: "(exhausted) Can we go?"

Reality begins to crumble.

Grace: "(exhausted) Yeah."

However...
