Chapter 12: Double Shot
Two weeks later...
Ike: "Any news from Amanda?"
Nia: "No, it's really strange."
They're all at Souls and Medicine, confused as to Amanda's whereabouts.
Faith: "Well,let's just focus on getting this next one out of the picture."
Lucas: "Yeah, she'll get here soon."
Ethan: "If you say so."
They all make the dive...
Meanwhile...
???: "Nia?"
A woman with long, blond hair, dark green shirt, white shorts, green and white shoes, black socks, pale skin, and blue eyes has just set down a box inside Nia's living room.
Woman: "I told her to wait for me today."
A ghost of a girl considerably younger than the woman floats to her side.
Ghost: "Check your phone Amanda."
Amanda checks her phone, only to find a text message to Nia didn't go through.
Amanda: "(panicking) Thanks for the idea Chloe!"
Amanda darts out the door and into a small, blue car.
Meanwhile...
Requiem: "Grarity and Endness, it's your turns."
Two genderless beings, one holding a giant morning star and the other mounted at a turret stand inside a gigantic, burger place.
Endness: "They'll begin to see the true power of Master Requiem."
Grarity: "And only prepare them even further for the hurdles laid down by Master Requiem.
Requiem laughs maniacally for a moment.
Requiem: "Good, now they should have arrived in Zero Fiction by now."
Requiem fades away.
Meanwhile...
Bell: "Giant burgers..."
The group stands on top of a giant grill, with burgers the size of buildings littering the area.
Shoma: "Now is not the time to eat."
They see that they need to get over a series of utensils to get to the counter and into the small dining area.
Grace: "At least the ride won't be boring."
Grace gets eerily close to Shoma.
Lucas: "(awkwardly) Really Grace?"
Faith: "I'm with Lucas, I thought you got over that."
Grace backs off.
Grace: "S-Sorry, it's just been a while."
Soldiers are in the way as usual.
Marcel: "Better not keep them waiting."
They hurry towards the counter.
Ten minutes later...
Amanda: "I'm here!"
Amanda has arrived at Souls and Medicine, only to be greeted by Camilla.
Camilla: "(shocked) When did you arrive?"
Chloe: "A message didn't go through. They're already in?"
Camilla: "They just dived about ten minutes ago, but you can catch up."
Amanda: "Thanks! Zero Fiction!"
Amanda makes the dive.
Half hour later...
Tyler: A two in one? Great."
They're now standing atop the only table in the room, with two beings, armed and ready, awaiting them.
Alexis: "Nothing we haven't beaten with worse odds."
Samuel: "Who're you two?"
Endness: "Endness."
Grarity: "Grarity."
They notice the turret.
Shoma: "Fall back!"
They jump down into a chair as the bullets are sent flying at them.
Bell: "Anyone have a plan B?"
The morning star begins to break apart the table with the turret, meaning they'll be hit inevitably.
Alexis: "I'm trying!"
They're running out of time.
Meanwhile...
Amanda: "That's a sticky situation."
Amanda is on the counter, able to see the onslaught of bullets and strikes directed at the others.
Chloe: "We're going to take down that turret!"
Amanda holds two, white pistols, aiming at the one at the turret.
Amanda: "(aiming) You read my mind."
Amanda fires two bullets.
Meanwhile...
Endness: "Disappear."
They're nearly there.
Grarity: "You can't get past."
Faith: "Any famous last words guys?"
The two bullets gouge out Endness's eyes, causing to to fall out of the turret in pain.
Endness: "(blinded) I can't see!"
Grarity: "Who did that?!"
In the distance, they can see Amanda have a white glow in her eyes and running towards the battle.
Chloe: "Guess we should be glad the message didn't go through."
Alexis: "(relieved) Glad to see you two!"
They get back onto the table.
Nia: "Why didn't you tell us you were almost here?"
Chloe quickly gets on top of the table.
Amanda: "My text didn't go through and I didn't notice."
Grace lands a headshot into Endness, ending it's life.
Grarity: "Just as Master Requiem desires."
Grarity swings the morning star recklessly.
Shoma: "Marcel?"
Shoma sends a magma slice at the chain as Marcel gives his ball a nice kick towards the head.
Marcel: "Alexis, Amanda, you two grab the Soul Coins!"
Grarity dies as it's head is blown completely off, causing reality to crumble and both of the enemies becoming Soul Coins.
Chloe: "(grabbing coin) Want to wait a while before the next dive?"
Alexis: "(grabbing coin) Sure!"
They leave Zero Fiction...
