The eight walk through the gateway and end up upside down, with the stone vanishing.

Amanda: "One shot."

Bell: "Well,that doesn't sound like traversing the area will be a piece of cake."

Shoma\ Chloe: "G-Guys!"

Other 6: "(puzzled) What?"

They find three similar purple stones on pillars, and notice how they're upside down.

Ike: "This appears to be a bit of a puzzle."

Alexis: "Looks like we need to pick the right stone to progress."

Lucas: "The real question is what happens if we pick an incorrect one..."

Shoma walks up to the stone on his right.

Chloe: "Y-Your grabbing the stone on the left."

Shoma: "J-Just be ready for the w-worst!"

Shoma touches the stone as it disinagrates upon contact, with half a dozen Soldiers appearing around them.

Samuel: "I guess it's a big fight if you fuck up."

Shoma slices one in half as Alexis skewers one on the end of her spear.

Ike: "Shouldn't be that difficult."

Ike slashes two into pieces.

Amanda: "I've got to focus!"

Amanda head shots the remaining two instantly.

Alexis: "Now we need to not over exert ourselves."

A bell rings...

All 8: "Huh?"

They find a faint outline of a stone in the distorted clouds.

Ike: "So we need to locate the clue and grab the right one."

Alexis: "It's this one."

Alexis grabs the one on the right and a purple gateway opens.

Bell: "Looks like rinse repeat now."

They continue this process three more times while fighting a few Soldiers until...

Amanda: "(panting) I'm tired..."

Shoma\ Ike: "(sweating) Us too."

Alexis: "(collapsing) But we'll probably lose our progress..."

Lucas thinks for a moment.

Lucas: "I know how to solve this issue. Everyone hit the ground with you Soul!"

Amanda: "Why?"

Samuel: "If we leave a mark of our Soul here, we can enter Zero Fiction and instantly land right here."

The four stab and shoot the ground, leaving small glowing cuts, then exit Zero Fiction.

Alexis: "I'm trusting you guys."

Samuel: "Don't sweat it!"

Next day, in front of the clinic...

Amanda: "You guys ready for round two?"

Shoma: "A-As ready as I-I'll ever be."

Bell: "Less chat, more kicking ass!"

The eight enter Zero Fiction in the same spot as before.

Samuel: "We're here, now let's continue!"

The eight roam through three more stone puzzle rooms until they reach the end...

Bell: "Looks like we're done with that bullshit!"

Alexis: "(in head) Something is off."

Samuel: "Why do you say that?"

Alexis: "(in head) This area appears more stable compared to the rest of Zero Fiction

Alexis: "Keep your guard up."

??? 1: "Heartfield and Riate have finally arrived."

??? 2: "It appears Heartfield figured us out."

Two people wearing silver cloaks, one with golden armor and the other with bronze jump down from a building and right in front of the group.

Humility: "I am Humility."

Kindness: "And I am Kindness."

Amanda: "(in head) Looks like they couldn't get a surprise attack since Alex figured them out."

Ike: "Two Virtues?!"

Shoma: "T-T-This i_isn't good!"

Lucas: "Having to deal with two Virtues at once! We had enough problems with Charity!"

Humility: "Charity was too cocky and..."

Kindness: "was ultimately defeated by over confidence."

Humility bulls out a small cannon and Kindness pulls out a staff.

Humility/ Kindness: "You shall relinquish your existence to our master, Hymn!"

Shoma: "(darkly) You two are already on my nerves..."

Bell: "(shocked) Looks like Shoma is pissed!"

Lucas: "Just don't let your temper get in the way."

Alexis: "Let's just do one thing and not die."

Amanda: "Just what I was thinking!"

Ike: "We may need to take them both down at once."

Chloe: "Let's go!"

Humility releases a massive burst of energy that decimates the area in front of them as the four barely dodge.

Humility: "Persistent."

Kindness appears behind Alexis.

Kindness: "Yet futile."

Alexis: "Huh?"

Kindness sends Alexis straight through a building in a single strike.

Ike: "Are you okay Alexis?!"

Alexis stands up from the rubble.

Alexis: "Good thing I had these."

Alexis applies a Fast Acting Bandage.

Amanda: "Have a little bit of this!"

Amanda lets loose several bullets that Humility absorbs like it was soil with water.

Chloe: "T-That barely did anything!"

Shoma: "Watch out Alexis!"

Alexis blocks a hit from Kindness.

Humility: "Target acquired."

Humility fires a shot a Ike.

Ike: "Too slow."

Ike barely dodges, only burning his tail a little.

Shoma: "Ike! We'll handle Humility! Amanda and Alexis, you've got Kindness!"

Bell/ Lucas: "Sounds like a plan!"

Shoma and Ike barely dodge Humility's blasts.

Humility: "It doesn't matter what your plan may be..."

Humility begins charging longer.

Kindness: "Your still no match for us."

Kindness begins to glow.

Humility/ Kindness: "Join our master and let your memories go."

Humility releases a MASSIVE wave of energy that sends Shoma and Ike flying through several building as Kindness moves three times as fast and beats Amanda and Alexis to a pulp.

Amanda: "(weakly) Fuck..."

Chloe: "(desperate) Hang in there!"

Alexis: "(weakly) Not healing from this easily."

Samuel: "(crying) This isn't even close to fair!"

Bell: "(panicking) You okay Ike?!"

Ike: "(grunting) More or less."

Lucas: "Shoma?!"

Shoma: "(in pain) We won't be alright for long."

Humility/ Kindness: "Any final words?"

Alexis: "(weakly) Is it over?"

Samuel: "No..."

Humility and Kindness ready their final blows.

Humility/ Kindness: "Farewell."

The two release their final blows.

??? 1: "How about no!"

Two chakrams pulsing with dark energy slice their weapons in two.

??? 2: "Go get them Nia!"

Bell: "A Shadow resonance..."

The chakrams fly up on top of a building.

Nia: "I'm not losing my sibling here!"

Nia casually jumps off the building and walks up to Kindness and Humility.

Lucas: "Looks like one of us got to be in control!"

Alexis: "(in pain) Is she your sister?"

Samuel: "Oldest of four, Nia Riate. So you had a Shadow resonance."

???: "You kids alright?"

A small light envelopes the four that heals their wounds a small bit.

Nia: "Hey Ethan, we need to take these guys down and fast."

The four stand up.

Kindness: "Minor setback."

Humility: "Having one more won't make a difference."

Nia: "Are you mindless bastards going to stand there, or are you going to fight?"

The two pull out a new cannon and staff.

Nia: "Watch their movements and strike!"

Lucas: "Watch out for Kindness. She can move faster than your eyes can track."

Ethan: "Thanks. That means Humility is first!"

Nia throws her chakrams as they cause the two to move off course.

Nia: "You can't handle all five of us!"

Humility: "This is getting quite annoying."

Kindness: "Hymn requires the souls of Heartfield and that Riate boy."

The two begin to charge up again.

Nia: "Everyone! Guard yourselves!"

Everyone assumes a defensive stance as the two unleash on them.

Humility\ Kindness: "Huh?"

Everyone took minimal damage.

Kindness: "Huh?"

Nia: "Guarding allows you to shield yourself from deadly attacks!"

Bell: "Feels like I'm listening a tutorial..."

Ethan: "Well they're going to keep on coming!"

Samuel: "(in head) I find it funny how she bonded with her boyfriend."

Amanda sends a storm of bullets toward Humility until she can't take it.

Amanda: "Just beat the shit out of them until we win!"

Bell: "I'm a fan of that plan!"

Nia sends her chakrams at Kindness at full force as Kindness attempts to block.

Nia: "You're done!"

Kindness is sliced into three pieces.

Kindness: "(weakly) No..."

A Soul Coin appears where Kindness fell as Ike delivers the final blow

Alexis/ Samuel: "Petal..."

Pink petals surround Alexis.

Alexis/ Samuel: "Storm!"

The petals slice through Humility like butter.

Humility: "N-No!"

Shoma stabs Humility perfectly through her chest.

Lucas: "You know what to do Shoma!"

Humility begins to dissolve within the magma.

Chloe: "Amanda!"

Amanda charges her pistols.

Nia: "Need help?"

Nia's chakrams hover in the center of Amanda's aim for a perfect shot.

Ethan: "Shadow Charge!"

Amanda: "Holy Bullet!"

Amanda releases the blast, hitting twice has hard and blows Humility's head into tiny pieces.

Nia: "Now we need to leave!"

The world begins to fall apart.

Ike: "What is happening?!"

Ethan: "We must exit Zero Fiction now!"

The five hastily rush to where they first entered and exit Zero Fiction.

Nia: "Just follow me."
