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...
