Chapter 10 - Part 3
Escape
"I want more fun," Simon cries out. "And I know the perfect two." Simon turns to face Reno and Rude.
"No way," Reno says. "No way am I fighting Rude."
"What a pity. You don't have a choice." Reno charges at Simon, his Electro-Mag Rod out. He strikes Simon with it and Simon disappears only to reappear behind him. "Hiya." Simon starts teasing Reno. Every time Reno gets close to Simon he disappears. Eventually Simon gets fed up and fires a blast of Mako at Reno who falls instantly unconscious. Mike runs over to Reno but Simon fires a Mako blast at him. Mike and Reno disappear the same way Eleanor did.
"That's four people gone," Tseng says.
"Yes, now I shall chose another one," Simon fires a blast of Mako at Elena but Tseng pushes her out of the way, taking the blast himself. He disappears like the others before him.
"Tseng," Elena cries out. Rude walks over to her and whispers something in her ear.
"Remember what Simon told us. I doubt this is reality," Rude whispers.
"And you believe him?" Elena asks.
"No, but I refuse to believe that this is reality, and that my friends are gone," Rude replies.
"Looks like you're down to four people," Simon says. "Greta, let's have some fun."
"You have a sick mind," Greta responds, disgusted.
"You deliberately took that the wrong way. I don't like being called names," Simon tells her. Simon fires a Mako blast at Greta who disappears like Tseng did. "One more gone. He He."
"This is just getting sad," Sarah comments.
"I'm glad you agree with me." Rude, Elena and Sarah charge at Simon. Elena draws her gun and starts shooting, Rude uses fire and Sarah Uses Shiva. "I did tell you that Magic has terrible effects here." The Magic attacks hit Simon but reflect back. "You can't defeat me that easily." Elena loads another magazine in her gun and starts firing. Rude attacks with his fists and Sarah her fists as well. Simon attacks Sarah, who then uses her limit on him. "You may have beaten me this time but I'll be back." Simon runs off. The darkness is replaced with light.
"Now where are we," Sarah asks. They see a door and head through it. Inside, the missing people are lying on the floor, seeming to be asleep. Rude and Elena go over to Reno and Tseng.
"They are just asleep," Elena says.
"Where's Fia?" Sarah asks.
"Is she not here?" Elena asks.
"No, but she did fall down a hole, instead of disappearing like everyone else," Sarah says. "I wonder if that was reality." The asleep wake up and the light changes again.
