Did I... save him...?
(looks at the shattered core, leaking all the liminal energy outside)
Uh...
(a hand comes out of nowhere, stabbing through his chest)
Ugh- (vomits out blood) What the-
Did I... fail...
No...
BAIZHI- (falls on his knees)
No... maybe I did...
(a large liminal creature comes out of the core)
Hmm...
Maybe I wasn't enough to take such a step...
Is it...
"Wake up, Forgotten One."
Uh...
"Are you really gonna give up here?"
What... do I do... in such a condition...
"Don't make excuses."
Huh...
"It ain't your first time, is it?"
What...
"Don't provoke me to remind you about your failures."
What are you... talking... about...
"About you. And how miserable and unrelievable you were."
. . .
"Wake up. Redeem yourself. If you don't wanna have another guilt over your dead shoulders."
Ugh...
BAIZHI- (pulls the hand out of his chest) Ugh... (tries to stand)
I don't know what failures I'm being told about...
I have no clue about my past...
But...
(the creature looks at him)
It definitely isn't a coincidence...
(the creature attacks him with more arms)
I have to fight.
(the hands get blocked by a wall summoning in between out of nowhere)
BAIZHI- Ugh...
ENZI- Baizhi!!!!!
BAIZHI- Uh... Enzi...
ENZI- Bro. (reaches him) That wound on your chest...
BAIZHI- I'm... fine...
ENZI- No you aren't, dumbass, that's a critical wound.
(the creature starts screaming)
ENZI- Ouch-
BAIZHI- We have to... defeat that thing first...
ENZI- What even is that?
BAIZHI- Your fear...
ENZI- Huh?
BAIZHI- It's the fear... You chose not to... let take over you...
ENZI- You're saying that thing resembles my fear.
BAIZHI- Mhmm...
ENZI- Damn... I didn't expect it to be that horrifying...
(the creature attacks them with more arms)
BAIZHI- Shit...
ENZI- (summons more walls to block) I'll get this thing done for good.
BAIZHI- Wait...
ENZI- ??
BAIZHI- That thing... is formed out of de-syncs attacking with... hands made of colliders...?
ENZI- I don't understand what you're saying bro.
BAIZHI- Makes sense...
(the creature screams even louder)
BAIZHI- Long story short... your World Mason... and my Echo Pulse... will be used... to defeat that thing...
ENZI- Oh. How?
BAIZHI- Follow my lead...
(the creature attacks with more arms)
BAIZHI- (jumps towards it, shoots a echo beam at the creature)
(the hands dim out a little bit once the main body gets hit by the beam, dissipating a bit of it)
ENZI- How the fu-
BAIZHI- (lands terribly) I can attack the main body because it's made out of de-sync... you can trap him from everywhere to stop it from attacking with arms...
ENZI- How the heck do I trap that thing-
BAIZHI- (...) Mf using your World Mason- Ouch-
ENZI- Oh. My bad.
(another arm approaches to attack Baizhi)
ENZI- NO- (summons a wall behind Baizhi to block the arm from attacking)
BAIZHI- Damn-
ENZI- Fine. Let's do this then. (eyes and nerves glow blue)
BAIZHI- Aha. (eyes and nerves glow cyan)
(both rush towards the creature)
(the creature attacks them with its arms)
ENZI- (summons a wall to block it) Baizhi, your turn.
BAIZHI- (jumps high, shoots with a beam)
(the creature blocks the beam using its arm)
BAIZHI- Dang it- Seems like that thing learned how to block-
ENZI- Oh c'mon.
(both dodges it's next attack)
ENZI- What's the plan-
BAIZHI- Ugh... Wait. I have an idea.
ENZI- What-
BAIZHI- Enzi, as I said before.... enclose that thing around... we already got one wall done.
ENZI- Bet. (dashes around the entity, summons walls around it to cover it from all sides) Yeah, this should be good-
(the entity breaks the walls)
ENZI- Are we serious?
BAIZHI- Need thicker walls...
ENZI- Ugh, lemme try again. (dodges another attack from the entity, extrudes a punch from the ground)
(the entity falls behind)
ENZI- How do I summon thicker walls? I have never done this before.
BAIZHI- It- relies on your perspective... use your eyes and fingers and align a specific width from the top view... to make it thicker...
ENZI- Uh, lemme try that. (jumps high, makes a square out of his fingers, concentrates on the width) C'mon...
BAIZHI- Uh...
(the entity gets surrounded by a fortified, thick enclosure)
ENZI- I DID IT!
BAIZHI- NICE! Now change its material to metal...
ENZI- Why the fu-
BAIZHI- Just do it.
ENZI- Fine fine. (touches the walls, transforms all the walls into a huge metal containment)
BAIZHI- If everything goes according to my plans... (rushes to the wall, touches it, sends vibrations through the metal)
(the metal propagating the sound from all sides, weakening the entity inside)
ENZI- How the...
BAIZHI- Its body is made out of de-syncs... so it's vulnerable to sound... That thing is weak now... (falls on his knees)
ENZI- Bro- (catches him) Your wound isn't healing at all...
BAIZHI- Let's exit the storm...
.
.
TRAKKTOR- Huh? Is that?
LEO- Uh.
(notices Enzi holding Baizhi by his shoulder, jumping away from the storm)
(Baizhi gives a thumbs up)
TRAKKTOR- That thumbs up... does it mean?
LEO- Yep. Bye, shoot it now.
BYE- (eyes and nerves glow red) Here we go >:) (applies a power and momentum constraint to shoot the cannon at the target)
(the emits around the cannonball make it look like a flaming asteroid, hitting the entity)
.
.
(huge explosion)
JIMMI- Damn-
BONES- Careful, everyone.
RATZ- Ugh.
.
MILLER- Mini-
MINI- I'm alright-
.
BYE- HAHA!!!!! BULLSEYE!!!
H4DALS- Phew... it's handled now...
MONOXIDE- Hmm, I wonder what will happen with that SP.
LEO- Hmm.
.
RAMOS- Nice job, Baizhi :)
