"Ok fuck this." Bob looked away from the user for a second and looked at Dot. "He's got a damn
knife. AND WHAT DO WE HAVE?!"
"Bob! Calm down! We can do this!"
Bob began to fiddle with his glitch. Finally, some words appeared that calmed him down.
"YES! I found what we need!" He spun around to the user. "Nyah nyah!" Bob began to run towards
the door. So did the user. "Dot! The candleabra! Hit him with it! Hurry!" The user advanced on
him. Dot began to panic. (Where's the candleabra? OH! There it is!) She grabbed it and rushed
after the user. Bob was backed into a corner now. (Oh man. Where the hell are you?) The user
brought up his hand and fell face first into the red carpet.
"Whew. That was too close." Bob took the knife and jammed it into the user's back. The red carpet
became a little bit redder. "Now. We have to turn the ship around."
"Where are we exactly on the ship?"
Bob checked his glitch.
"Hmmm...the very rear. It will take us at least 15 game minutes to reach the front." He gulped.
"And?"
"And...we only have 15 game minutes to turn this ship around..."
"This is not good."
They began to run towards the front of the ship.
* * *
The pool of blood spread. The body began to stir slightly. The arm lifted up and a hand wrapped
itself around the knife in the back. The knife slid out and fell to the floor. Pushing itself up
from the bloodied carpet, the user looked around the room. On the wall hung a Rapier. The user
took it off the wall and headed towards the front of the ship...
* * *
They didn't stop. No matter how tired they were getting they had to reach the front. Bob looked
at the glitch. HALFWAY. They had hit the halfway mark. Time Remaining: 10 GM. (10 GM? That can't
be!)
"Bob? What's wrong?"
"We have 10 Game Minutes left! Glitch must've miscalculated the time it would take to get there."
Soon they reached the door to the Navigation Room. Time Remaining: 6 GM. Bob's circuits were
racing. This was it. He walked over to the navigation wheel when the door opened.
"Oh my! Bob! The user is still alive!"
"Damn you..." Bob strained with the force of the wheel. It was stuck! "Dot! The wheel is stuck!
Help me!"
"I'm a little busy here." The user started to slice into the air at Dot. She dodged his swipes.
Bob began to slam into the wheel. "Come...on...you...bastard!" The wheel was beginning to show
signs of budging. "Yes!"
"Bob! Fuck the wheel! Just get him away from me!" The user was closing in. Bob looked at Dot,
trying to escape.
"Glitch! Rope!" Nothing happened. Bob looked at the glitch. "ARGH! Out of power!"
"I told you not to leave the fucking thing on you prick!"
Bob charged the user and tackled him. The user rolled onto his back and tried to stab Bob in the
back.
"Oh no you don't bitch!" Bob punched the user in the face. Meanwhile Dot tried to turn the wheel
but it was stuck again.
"Damnit!" She too began to slam into the wheel.
Bob grabbed the rapier and rammed it through the user's face. Blood gushed out onto the wooden
floor. He ran over to Dot and they pulled. The glitch beeped. (Oh great. It can tell me how much time we
have left.) 1 GM...
They began to pull harder and harder.
* * *
Phong watched the Game Cube. He knew that 30 GS (Game Seconds) remained. Finally, the wait was
over...
