Chapter 16: Explosives
One week later...
Marcel: "You guys ready?"
Everyone has just picked up better gear and medicine from Zeke and Camilla.
Samuel: "(awkwardly) Isn't that why we're here?"
Lucas: "Then let's go!"
Everyone: "Zero Fiction!"
They make the dive...
Meanwhile...
Requiem: "I hope you don't accidentally blow yourself up Temptony."
Requiem and a genderless being holding an assortment of throwing knives are standing in a large bomb shelter with, ironically, a surplus of explosives lining the walls.
Temptony: "I shall not, for it is Master Requiem's orders."
Requiem begins to fade.
Requiem: "Good."
Requiem has faded away.
Meanwhile...
Ike: "There is a level of irony in this place."
The group stands inside a large bomb shelter lined with bombs.
Faith: "And a number of jokes to fly out of Tyler's mouth."
They're surrounded, as usual.
Lucas: "Don'y blow us up Shoma."
Shoma: "(awkwardly) Oh..."
They begin to fight.
Two hours later...
Grace: "This place feels like a maze."
They've been wandering for a little bit now, but they feel as though they've been walking in circles.
Ethan: "A maze that'll kill us in one wrong move."
No Soldiers are in the area.
Bell: "We'd better be close to this Temperance and Gluttony mix."
They're coming up to what appears to be a dead end.
Amanda: "I really hope so."
They arrive at the dead end, only to find the floor to be composed of C4.
Nia: "One minor slip up and we're dead."
???: "That's the reason Master Requiem chose here."
A genderless being holding two throwing lives has somehow gotten behind the group.
Faith: "What kind of Temperance, Gluttony hybrid name do you have?"
Temptony: "It's Temptony."
It tosses the knives at the group, but they're forced to dodge to avoid a potential explosion.
Nia: "We can't let an attack loose without being certain it's going to hit."
They keep dodging.
Tyler: "Plus we can't block or else we're letting stuff that could trigger an explosion loose!"
Shoma and Lucas switch long with Nia and Ethan.
Ethan: "There's got to be something."
A knife lodges itself into Lucas's leg.
Lucas: "Hm..."
Lucas has an idea, and it's one hell of an idea.
Lucas: "Everyone except Alexis, we need you to leave!"
Temptony: "Hm?"
Marcel: "What're you planning?"
Shoma: "I'll explain when we head back! Now go!"
Everyone except Lucas and Alexis exit.
Samuel: "Lay down the rest of your plan."
Lucas: "I'm going to ignite the floor and you're going to use your wind to grab the Soul Coin."
Temptony: "Wh-What?!"
Alexis: "That's insane!"
Shoma: "Look, you've got to trust us."
Alexis: "(sighing) I'm putting the blame on you if I get my arm burnt."
Lucas begins to charge a slice.
Lucas: "Alright, and you might want to get the wind blowing!"
The wind begins to blow towards the two as Lucas fires a thin slice of magma.
Shoma: "See you back at Souls and Medicine."
Lucas and Shoma leave as the explosion triggers.
Temptony: "N-No!"
Temptony is reduced to ashes as a strong gust kicks in to send it's Soul Coin to Alexis.
Samuel: "(panicking) Faster!"
Alexis catches the coin and leaves just as the explosion is about to reach them...
