Two Attempts A Heroic Sacrifice

We were doing it. Amidst my hateful thoughts and snapping ligaments, the door was finally giving in to our brute strength. People started passing by, but - even as I could finally see through the sheer force of hatred - Bergree was right; not everyone would get through safely, unless we were to completely tear the door apart. Tempting to try, but it was a chancy proposition. I couldn't tell how long I'd be able to keep up; I had a feeling however that once I let go of this gate, my arms will cease to function.

"G-go!" I ripped a word from my throat, both at Caboose and Bergree, and at Hercules, straining against the steel wall and my own failing strength. "Go... protect others! I'll manage!" It was a lie, of course. Once they were past the gate, I'd let go and let the machinery close it in initial confusion. Trapped I would be, at the mercy of the Thing Below, but at this point, I would only get in the way. The least I could do is to offer it defiance.

Eve | Cave Of Shit |

Eve turned back to Rean. "Do you want me to take him?" she asked quietly. Her head still hurt, though her vision was clearing up. She was worried about Cole. He seemed... emotionally shutdown, like he wasn't there anymore, but she didn't know what to do about it. She had done it in the past, when everything - no, not going there, but what had broken her out of it wasn't an option here. "Cole, please talk to me..." she said quietly, beseechingly.

Wells told Herc very bluntly that they were helping the civilians getting out of where they currently were. "I know we are helping civilians I mean why are Two and Caboose just, well, pulling at this door?" Hercules asked elaborating on his question but before he could go any further he saw Bergree placing his hands on Caboose and Two and then they were now pulling at the door more fiercely.

Almost as if they were compiled by anger which in turn caught Herc off guard and then decided his question would have to wait as he was distracted by Two's angry distorted screaming: "Two!" Herc then yelled in a concerned tone as she was now looking like she was in agony.

But as luck would have it, the door was now open and the civilians were piling in. Bergree was voicing a concern about the amount of people in the lift and not being able to fit everyone inside. Then Two told Herc as well as Caboose to get into the lift to protect the civilians and that she'd sacrifice herself in order to do this. "No you can't do that! You'll die if you don't join us!"

Bunker lift

Lacking any immense strength, Garrett stayed out of the way as the others tried to get the door open; the sudden rage that came over Two and Caboose looked a little alarming, but it certainly worked, the immense door actually budging. Wasting no time, Garrett proceeded to approach the gap along with the other civilians.

Meanwhile, Two and Hercules decided it was the perfect time for the old 'go on without me'/'we can't leave you here' routine. "Leave her!," Garrett said to Hercules. "In this city she can afford to die. And someone's got to hold the door," he said as he climbed up through the gap.

Tunnels — Relationships are tiring

The moments Makoto spent not saying anything were interminable—Rex stopped breathing because of the tension, but she finally accepted his promise.

"Awesome! That's a relief, I really thought you were going to say no... I'll just zip it now"

Even then, Makoto still looked exhausted. She had pushed herself all day and just a bit ago she was already running out of energy so it made sense. Come to think of it, the entire day had been an endurance test for everyone, both physically and mentally. Anat disappeared as Makoto struggled to keep herself awake and Rex got closer, trying to to hold her so she wouldn't fall to the floor.

"Take it easy. I'm here"

Tunnels- Like Falling Asleep In Class

Makoto was only able to stand up for a few more seconds before Rex caught her as she tipped to the side. The fact that it was somewhat dark wasn't as bad anymore for some reason. She wouldn't be able to see with her eyes closed anyway. She shouldn't be resting out in the open like this, especially when she knew more enemies could show up at any point, but as long as it wasn't a long rest, it should be alright...

"Just give me... a minute..." she said, before she stopped fighting it entirely and blacked out. Her body went limp, putting all of her weight on Rex. On closer inspection she was still breathing steadily, but shorter than usual, and her skin was paler than it probably should have been.

Lewis, i only put this off for like a year

"I can kinda see it, fits with the whole no magic thing...though it sounds awfully straightforward. 'sides, one could argue I've done that before." I glanced over the table of contents, trying to glean which parts I would or wouldn't already know. There was a chapter on magic, and some stuff on...the future? I assumed some of these other ones had stuff that happened in town while I was out but it didn't look like the main focus. "It feels like it was asking for some absurd Mary Sue ideal but, I can't recall the guy giving straight up impossible conditions before, and, I don't want to admit defeat if I don't know it can't be done. It's not like I have any other way to get it that I know of. Kinda sucks having to negotiate with a cosmic-tier narrative-themed sociopath, though..."

Considering it had the most potential to be relevant to me personally, the fortune telling chapter made the obvious start point...not that I was in a hurry, but still. I flipped casually to the page...nice to know that plant from before I got grabbed was gonna be a thorn (ahem) in everyone's side. I made a mental note to hound Mystery sometime.

For what it was worth, I'd expected from reading other people's world books that it'd pretend I wasn't there. Why, when we were supposed to be dropped off in a week, still escaped me, though. Was it supposed to leave people a bit of uncertainty? Could these things not predict the wills of omnipotent paragraphs? Or did said omnipotent paragraph plan to...

Anyway.

It was kinda depressing, really. The girls and all still missing me...that call didn't seem to be in there, but the other one was, so maybe it was just when I got the book. I flipped to the magic section, deciding that I didn't feel like bumming myself out right that moment. Fae stuff, fae stuff, my magic...the hell?

Garrett had now approached Herc and Two and was urging Hercules to get into the lift but the Olympian was still conflicted on this dilemma. On one hand everyone needed to get to away from the threat that was wanting to kill them and that meant getting the civilians to safety, on the other hand, Two will die if she gets left behind. Then the grim realisation hit him: "She'll die...she won't survive for much longer...too much pressure...but if the city is anything to go by...I'll be able to see her again." Herc then said muttering this all under his breath now knowing what he must do.

He then turned to Garrett: "Alright you go first, Garrett, I'll go in after you." He then told the thief, should Garrett go first into the lift, Hercules would then follow after him. Once inside Herc then gave one last glance at Two: "Two, my friend, I hope you know what your doing."

Ben winced and tried to reach to stop Blue, but the Terrarian had already rushed through the portal. And then nothing.

"I'm with Louie," Ben muttered. "If my watch was working right now I'd go in myself and kick him into next week— h-hey!" he shouted, when Rick decided to shoot the console.

He clenched his fists.

"Okay, you big toaster!" Ben yelled at the malevolent AI. "When we get down there we'll turn you into a pile of scrap metal!"

Bunker Lift

Under normal circumstances, even Caboose might have been able to see through Two's lies and realize she was planning to pull another heroic sacrifice. The soldier would have stopped her, maybe took the death instead, if he knew. But he didn't.

Too his rage addled mind, all Michael J. Caboose knew was that he should leave after everyone else. And so he would, when the chance arose and everyone else that could go did. He'd feel bad about this later.

Bunker lift

"... Alright, it's only fair I grant your request" Bergree muttered in his still-different voice. He clambered up carefully and as far as he could with his spider legs over the door while still reaching down his hands to Two and Caboose; then, he let go, stopping the effect as he rushed through as fast as he could. Everyone but Two and Caboose were now outside of the bunker, back into the caves.

Without the magic from Bergree, the mechanisms in the door were starting to win out again, and the door started to rise. It wasn't super quick, but it was steady.


Deep facility

"I'm not sure it can hear us anymore" Valentina commented to Ben; since AM didn't have a way to respond now, they couldn't be certain.

It was approaching twenty seconds since Blue left when he finally came back through the portal, at a downward angle and fast, though he did a good landing and seemed fine in that regard. His armor had a number of marks on it though, and he was looking injured from something else. "There is a lot of angry, shooty things on the other side there" Blue commented, with the overall disposition of a man just out of breath from running in a marathon or something. He paused a moment to procure a bottle of red liquid from somewhere and quickly drink the contents in one big chug, then let out a sigh of satisfaction and was already looking better. "They set up a cross fire on either side" he elaborated, motioning his hands left and right.

"Most of them were mechanical, but there was also some dude who yelled at me, uh... Something about ten voxes? Whatever the heck a 'vox' is" Blue added, with a shrug.

"So, it's straight into their defenses" Amelia thought out loud from the back.

Deep lab

"Alright then. Were they made of metal?" Rick took a deep swig of booze, belched heartily, then cranked the OR-14 gun. "Look, w-we only get one shot at this before they get wise to us so..." Rick threw the laser Gatling gun he'd procured off the OR-14 onto the ground and began industriously stripping it down, throwing bits of gears and scrap metal over his shoulders as he worked.

Sparks flew as Rick procured a tiny plasma torch from somewhere in the folds of his labcoat and began cutting a large piece directly out of the center of the weapon, wrapping a string of copper around that chunk of crackling metal and quickly turning another string of wires around that.

"If any of you have a pacemaker, I recommend you stand back... now." He attached another wire and the increasingly explosive-looking contraption thrummed with energy.

Cave

Morty blinked at this explanation, then peered over the page. "So... is, uh, i-is that like, a hand? The, uh, the hand of someone you know?"

Yuna Yuki (Caves) - City of Unpronounceable Names

"Seirwus... Seirwuwu... Seirweu... uhhh... heh, sorry, I'm a bit out of it right now," Yuna excused herself after realizing she was having a bit too much trouble trying to say Seirwuosuhr's full name. She still felt rather light headed, even after Rean healed her up, not to mention that she was still in a bit of pain, but of course she didn't allow that to stop her from smiling. "Still, nice to meet you!"

Unfortunately, the nice wholesome conversations would have to wait. Makoto, Rex and Silanea all took off into the caves, while Eve, Rean and Cole were starting to leave as well... but in the opposite direction.

"Uhhh... guys?" the middle schooler called out to her friends, quickly taking a hold of Seirwuosuhr's hand and starting to walk after them. "Where are you going? The others went that way." In all honesty, Yuna did not want to end up alone again. Specially not alone with a little child she was not entirely sure she could look after in her state. "I don't really think we should be splitting up."

Rean || Tunnel

Cole was still catatonic, and Eve asked if Rean wanted her to carry Cole for a bit.

"I don’t mind carrying him, but maybe he’ll wake up a bit if you took him. ” It was a long shot, sure. But it was worth a try. He handed Cole off to Eve, and then put the toddler’s hat back on his head. He then gave Cole a gentle pat on the shoulder. Feel better soon, Cole. Rean thought.

Then Yuna caught up to them, wondering why they weren't following the others. Rean sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. How to explain... "Well...Things haven't been going so well between us, so it's for the best if we all split up. You can come with us, or you can go with the others. Your choice."

Ben grumbled a bit and crossed his arms, nodding at Valentina's statement. "Yeah, I just wanted to yell at the robo-dweeb some more," he admitted. He simultaneously looked surprised and relieved once Blue came out of the portal.

"You okay?" he asked, before seeing Blue drink some kind of liquid and heal his wounds. Must be some kind of healing potion, Ben thought. He glanced down at the Omnitrix's watch face impatiently, as it glowed red despite Ben's desire to charge in and fight.

"Yeah, looks like it. If this stupid watch would cooperate, I'd join you guys. Man, I wish I wasn't so small and useless without the Omnitrix..." Ben muttered.

Tunnels — That's one way to finish a conversation

"Yeah, sure. Take ten if you want, nothing is pushi—" Rex had to stop talking to actually hold all of Makoto's weight, who was clearly making no effort to stand up. She was still alive, just knocked out cold due to exhaustion.

"Whoa, uh..." Rex pushed her enough so she was almost standing. "I guess we are all tired today, huh? Heheh" obviously Makoto wasn't going to laugh with him so Rex decided to get to work and actually carry her "Alright, let me just, put these over here... you are heavier than you look. Maybe I should work out more"

But after struggling a bit, Rex managed to lift her up in the same way he had done with Eve. As he turned to walk back towards the group he kept talking, because of course he did.

"I know it's a bad time to say this but you should use more swear words. It's kinda hot"

"Like I said, most of them looked mechanical to me. I couldn't exactly just walk up to them and investigate what they were made of" Blue responded to Rick, at first still rather nonchalant, but then the armored Terrarian became very interested as Rick was putting together his... Whatever it was. "Whoa, you can make stuff? Can you improve things too?" he asked, very intrigued.

"What is that he's making?" Darturien thought out loud, looking towards Rick.

"I don't know, but I can tell from his tone and body language what it's for. It's some kind of weapon to deal with the defenses on the other side of that portal" Valentina mentioned to him. "Let's hope that it works" she added simply, then looked over at Ben and wondered, "now, what the boy speaks of, I'm not certain."

Amelia stepped over and quietly explained as much as she knew from the observations and explanations she had earlier, and the sorceress nodded in thought. "Aha, I understand" Valentina muttered, then took a step towards Ben. "Boy, I would recommend you hold your transformation in reserve; wait until we encounter an obstacle the rest of us cannot deal with on our own, then choose a suitable transformation at that time" the sorceress suggested to Ben.

"What? But Ben can kick all kinds of butt! Shouldn't he lead the charge?" Louie argued.

"Strategically speaking, given the apparent limitations of his transformations, that would be a poor decision. For him to choose a form without knowing what the threat is could leave him stuck in a form that is not optimal for the situation at hand. Furthermore, the sooner he transforms, the sooner he is stuck back in this form; we would not want him to be left expended while there is still an insurmountable opponent in our way" Valentina explained at length.

"... Huh?" Louie muttered.


Tunnels of drama

"... You can call me Seir" Seirwuosuhr muttered, not making any objection or resistance her hand being held by Yuna. The little girl just calmly followed along, still looking kind of upset, but certainly better now that there was no more yelling.

Meanwhile, in a tunnel that was currently still nearby but perhaps not for long, Silanea watched Rex start to carry Makoto back. "Rex, do you want help carrying her?" Silanea asked.

Tunnels — Not what it looks like

Rex stopped dead on his tracks when Silanea started to talk. He had completely missed she was there behind him. And naturally she wanted to help him carry Makoto.

"...i-it's okay, I can handle it" After all, it's not like he was against the idea of being close to his girlfriend, awkward talk about feelings not withstanding. Besides, right now it was a little more important to see just how much Silanea knew about the current situation "Uh, how long have you been standing there?"

"Around when Makoto was asking you to no longer fight with anyone else" Silanea answered, rather straight forward. "You seemed to have it handled, so I didn't think you wanted me to intervene. Should I have?" the lamia then asked, seeming to mistake what Rex was actually worried about.

Eve | Cave of Shit and Catatonic Children

Eve took Cole from Rean with surprising ease. "Thanks," she said to Rean quietly. She hated this. Not being able to help, only ever making things worse... she didn't know what to do anymore. The best thing that she could think of was to just wait this day out, wait the rest of the City out, until they could go home, and Sven and Train and a professional psychiatrist could fix this mess she'd made. She looked back at Yuna and Seir, but didn't say anything. "Cole, please talk to me," she begged quietly, moving the boy into a more comfortable position for both of them. "I don't know how to help you."

Tunnels

Makoto didn't react to anyone's voice as Rex shifted her onto his back, but she did wake up just enough to secure her grip on him before settling again. He was giving off more heat than her own body was at the moment, and that was enough to make her more comfortable. For the moment, her Phantom Thief outfit was still manifested even while unconscious.

Bunker Lift

With Bergree no longer filling Caboose up with rage, he could now see clearly once again that the door was not his enemy and had not forcefed kittens red bull while strapping spikes to them. "I'm sorry, Mr. Door," he said completely sincerely as he continued to put all his strength into pushing it down. "You will get a coffee from me..." He paused for a second, grunting a tiny bit from the effort. "With a unicorn drawn on the surface, just like how... Donut... likes it!"

With that last bit said, the soldier lunged through. In his current nerfed state, it was destined to be a losing battle. "Come on Two!" he called out to his blue friend. "Everyone is out now, so you should go too!" He was watching. Caboose would see exactly what would happen next.

"All right, time to kick some robot butt!" he exclaimed and raised his hand to slam the watch's face, but stopped and glanced up at Valentina when she addressed him. He lowered his hand, looking confused once she started trying to explain her case to Louie. Regardless, he believed he understood the gist of what she was trying to say.

"Uh... I think she's saying I should hold off on transforming until we know what we're up against. Or I'm gonna get stuck and put in danger." He sighed. "That's lame. I wanted to fight already. Well... at least this guy is okay." He furrowed his brow and crossed his arms.

"If it's a bunch of robots then I should just go Upgrade again!" he said. "It worked really well the last time!"
