“This isn’t a team game kid, this isn’t something that we ALL get out of this alive in. Some of us have to go.” The Assailant tells Vivian who thinks on it, simply asking.
“Says who?” Looking at him he’d keep a firm grip on his knife and she’d glow brighter floating above him, getting in his face her eyes began to burn with energy.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQkI10zqU7
“Who?!”
“Who do you think? The ones that run this place, the flipping Guardians.” Vivian floats down and glares at him.
“How do we get out of here?” She asks, looking ahead.
“We go that way, we’ve got a-”
CRIKKKT! EEEEEEERRRRRREEET!
“We need to go now!” Anderson shouts as he puts Skobi on his back and breaks off into a sprint running ahead, Vivian would look at them and run after them before launching herself up and floating beside them.
“When did you learn to do that?” Anderson asks her, looking at Vivian.
“With the voice being quiet this is almost like riding a bike, a very well destructive bike.” Vivian said back to him while continuing to fly.
EEEEEEERRRRRREEET!
Looking back Vivian would see a bunch of glowing eyes closing distance on them, soon she saw what the creatures were. They appeared to be gray skinned with claws for fingers and monstrous large toothy smiles. The little beasts seemed to be faceless with no eyes but someone definitely could see that they weren’t human upon close inspection, they may have been at one point but no more.
“We’re gonna have to jump!!” Anderson shouted. Up ahead everyone saw a drop and then Running ahead, Vivian turned to slow down. Standing between them and the creatures Vivian charged her energy into her body glowing purely pink and then.
“AAAAAAHHHH!!!”
KZZZNK- BOOM!!!
A massive wave of pink energy would launch itself from her body and incinerate the creatures behind them, taking a deep breath Vivian gasped and choked falling to her knees.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkOYa1IbNL
“T-Too much…” Coughing Vivian would fall to her knees, her vision began to blur a bit and her ears rang. Maybe she wasn’t as ready for this solo output as she thought she was.
“H ome n!” She couldn’t understand a thing Anderson was saying to her but he did pull her up and tug her, she started running towards the edge and without much thinking they both took a large leap and jumped off the edge. Falling down from the high cave they see glowing shimmering crystals and hear the beasts screeching before splashing down into the water below. Vivian began to sink down as she tried to swim her way to the top, she watched Anderson swim fast up to the top and soon escape the waters… without her.
She kept swimming and kicking as much as she could to try and escape from the waters as much as she could, struggling coughing and gasping for air as the pressure continued to overtake her and pull her ever so deeper. Her vision blurred, her lungs felt tight, her-
SPLOOSH!
With a loud raspy gasp she began to choke and cough as she took in breaths of fresh air, her consciousness returning to her as swiftly as it had abandoned. Gazing to her side mid cough she saw Anderson swimming to shore pulling her all the way to it. Tossing her up Anderson would pull himself up and onto the shore pressing a hand over her chest he began to press down, one press.
“Mgh!!” Rolling over Vivian spit up water coughing and trying to catch her breath as she wiped her mouth.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Yf2Rlljy
“Haah…haaah…”
“Seems your artifact comes in handy in the worst moments.” The Man said as he looked at them standing up he’d walk off.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TMWQYEkxe
“Come on.” Anderson sighed as he grabbed Skobi and continued to follow after the man without much to say, Vivian getting up and following after them. Walking with the group she’d look around and try to think, something felt off about this. The Guardians were supposed to be the last battalion for them and here she was doing stupid tests…
“Anderson. What is all this? You said here we’d find allies, things-”
“Aren’t moving fast enough for your liking? Yeah, mine neither but this is how it is. So let’s just do this and get it all done. Then maybe, we’ll get to the bottom of this bull and actually start saving the world.” Anderson would continue to walk before he stepped out and looked at a large dome in front of them with a small drop leading into it. Standing before it they all examined it.
“Flipping dang it…” Anderson sighed as he put Skobi down for a second.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfgzI2RZr
“Alright this one focuses on- Hey!”
The guy jumped down and walked forward pressing a button and a door opened, stepping through he vanished from their sight. Anderson sighed, dismissing the man with a simple wave looking towards Vivian.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seImphJiB
“That dome is the Sphere Of Lament, inside of it you’ll face your inner sadness. Ready to face your darkest self?”
“I’ve been doing that for days now, not like it’ll be any dang different.” Stepping down Vivian smacked the button and went on ahead, looking ahead she saw… a large door?
“Hey there.” She heard her own all too familiar voice ring out beside her and then she’d turn and look at her.
“What do you want?”
“Nothing just helping, now that I finally can. After all this time, you know how BORED I was?” Her other half opened the portal wider and smiled at her looking at her.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4t3zIbSOL
“Hop through, the rest of them shouldn’t take much longer.”
“Uh huh and why should I?” Vivian asked, folding her arms looking at herself.
“I mean you could always waste more time and thus deal with the consequences that come with it.” Staring at herself Vivian rolled her eyes and walked through the portal.
