Response Time: To VerucaBeyotch, thanks for saying so, but I am definitely a sadist. Charlie and the Altered Factory proves that. Just thinking of that story makes me remember the darkness leaking out of it. On with the story!
Chapter: Veruca's Test
Veruca was pleased that Augustus succeeded. She worried whether he could do it or not. She thought to herself, I think about him a lot, don't I? And yet, I feel just fine being friends. I know it sounds like I'm friendzoning him, but I think I shouldn't make a move until I at least know how he feels. I'm not sure what that was meant to convey, however. Maybe it was a way the author was kind of saying whether the ship was going to happen or not. Wait, what's an author? Oh, never mind.
Veruca had finally arrived at the roof where the next power source. Unfortunately, there was a force field around the power core, and a key was needing to shut it down. She saw an elevator next to the power core, so she stepped in and went to the basement. Inside the basement was an underground coliseum, where there were androids watching and cheering. The Guardian Android stood in front of her. But this one looked different from the android Augustus fought. This one had a furnace in its body, and it had a red motif. It had flamethrowers in its arms, and had flame blades by its side. Veruca gulped with nervousness, as she slowly approached the android. The guardian reacted by slamming its body into Veruca, knocking her into a hard wall.
Veruca radioed in, "I may be in over my head here. I could use some help, Violet!" Violet replied back, "What is it using?" Veruca dodged a close-range flamethrower and yelled, "Fire!" Violet thought for a second, "I think its furnace might be a weak spot." Veruca fired several bullets, but the furnace shot flames and stopped the bullets in their tracks. "It didn't work, Violet!" Violet yelled back, "Well, obviously you need something more powerful!" Veruca then put on her sound gauntlets and fired a loud sound wave, cracking up the guardian. Violet said, "That's it! Change the frequency of the gauntlets to infrasound and let it hit hard! Aim at the furnace!" Veruca did as told, and the low frequency sound waves slowly pulled apart the android. The furnace inside was so heavily damaged, the flames then leaked out of the machine. With the fire burning up the robot, it finally gave in and was destroyed. Veruca cheered, grabbed the key off the android, and shut off the force field to the power core. She used her new infrasound technique to destroy the power core, making the next barrier shut off. Veruca said, "Thanks, V! Your way of thinking is so vicious and I love it!" With that, Veruca moved on to wait by the barrier room.
"Vicious V, huh?" Violet thought to herself. "Vicious Violet, perhaps?" Violet looked at Layton and said, "Hey Layton, can you get me a sewing kit? I need to fix this emblem." Layton nodded and went to look for a sewing kit while Violet considered the new name, Vicious Violet.
Hope everyone enjoyed the new chapter! Will Violet reconsider joining the good side? Stay tuned and have a great day!
