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...
