Chapter 10: Burning Lightning

Two weeks later...

A male with darker skin, red and white shirt, black gym shorts, short, black hair, black sneakers, long, white socks, and brown eyes just finished hooking up a TV to a wall inside a living room lined with boxes.

Male: "How're you doing Shoma?"

A Japanese male wearing a black, baseball cap, grey jacket, navy blue shirt, black jeans, white sneakers, and short, black hair just brought in one last box into the apartment.

Shoma: "(exhausted) That's the last one Marcel."

Two ghosts of males around their ages float to their sides.

Marcel's Ghost: "So we're heading over to Souls and Medicine, right?"

Shoma's Ghost: "Yeah Tyler, we did what we needed to do."

Tyler: "You don't need to sound so disappointed Lucas."

Lucas: "Sorry, I'm just feeling a little off."

Shoma: "(exhausted) You're driving Marcel."

Shoma tosses some keys to Marcel.

Marcel: "Alright."

They exit the room...

One hour later...

Bell: "They should be here by now..."

The others are waiting for Shoma and Marcel.

Alexis: "You saw the traffic."

The door opens, with the other two stepping inside.

Lucas: "Traffic in Vira sucks."

Faith: "Tell me about it."

The group unites.

Ethan: "We've already took down a combo of Chastity and Lust."

Tyler: "So these new enemies are fusions of what we already beat?"

Nia: "That's out hypothesis."

Shoma: "O-Okay, then we'd better get g-going!"

Everyone: "Zero Fiction!"

They make the dive.

Meanwhile...

Requiem: "Dillith, don't disappoint them."

Requiem and another genderless being holding a giant hammer are standing inside a giant, power plant.

Dillith: "I won't."

Requiem fades away...

Meanwhile...

Marcel: "Good to know I'm here."

The group stands inside a giant, power plant, with them able to see a figure standing at the top.

Samuel: "What mix are you?"

Dillith: "I am a fusion between Diligence and Sloth, Dillith."

Marcel has a metal ball producing electricity as Shoma has a katana dripping with magma.

Lucas: "Hopefully you won't waste time and energy like Sloth."

Dozens of Soldiers surround the heroes.

Dillith: "Beat them all, then we'll fight."

They prepare for combat.

Ike: "Can't be that hard."

They begin to slice their way through.

Marcel: "Heads up!"

Marcel kicks his ball in a way that takes out five like a pinball machine before bouncing back to him.

Shoma: "Fade."

Shoma slashes his katana, taking down four with a paper thin, sharp wave of magma.

Lucas: "Now that's what I call being back in business!"

One hour later...

Dillith: "(shocked) They were like butter..."

The heroes have decimated all of the Soldiers, with the other halves now in control.

Tyler: "You done? We're kind of on a schedule."

Dillith jumps down, shattering the ground beneath it.

Dillith: "Then it's time to begin!"

Tyler sends the ball flying, with Samuel giving the ball extra bursts of speed utilizing wind.

Dillith: "I think you dropped something."

Dillith smashes the ball back into Tyler's stomach, causing him to cough a little blood.

Marcel: "That thing has got one hell of an arm!"

Tyler stumbles back to his feet.

Shoma: "Lucas!"

Lucas and Dillith lock weapons.

Lucas: "(struggling) You weren't lying Tyler!"

Ethan tosses the chakrams.

Ethan: "Come on!"

Dillith pulls back to repel the chakrams, getting the burning blade into his right thigh.

Shoma: "Nice!"

Dillith pushes Lucas away before sending him flying into Bell.

Bell: "H-Hey!"

Lucas rolls off Bell.

Dillith: "(gritting teeth) I chose the weaker of the two evils."

Faith: "How ironic that you're the bad guy here."

They can't get past Dillith.

Alexis: "Something..."

Samuel propels himself forward as Faith fires an arrow.

Ike: "Where's the gap?"

The two realize what everything Dillith has done gave away.

Alexis: "Lucas! Get back up and join in the fight!"

Lucas gets back up.

Lucas: "Okay."

Lucas uses all of his strength to run up towards the side.

Nia: "Tyler?"

Tyler kicks the ball with all of his might.

Marcel: "Wrap this up and go!"

Dillith blocks Samuel and Faith's attacks, but Lucas stabs right through his heart and the force of Tyler's ball snaps his neck.

Nia: "He can't block when there's too much!"

It fades into a coin as reality falls apart.

Samuel: "(grabbing coin) Sayonara!"

They exit Zero Fiction...
