Turning the Tables
Ava wheeled out of the closet to face the circle of villains. Debbie laughed.
Kirby wheeled back to the living room, but not before noticing an umbrella that Ava held behind her back.
Ava paused. She cleared her throat.
"Any last words?" Debbie sneered.
Ava launched into a speech. "You're the ones who turned my creative work into a nightmare realm."
Debbie just stared at Levi. "Uh, what is she saying?"
"And I will free my town from your curse!" She brought the umbrella forward. "Have at you!" She stabbed at Levi with the point. Sure, quoting the cutscene before the final battle of her favorite game was not appropriate in this situation. But whatever made her feel braver.
Levi dodged. "Where'd you get that?"
Ava paused. "I dunno, I found it in the closet." She charged at Debbie.
Rayna craned her neck. "Luna and I are good friends. She told me all about Ava's taste in entertainment."
Ava tried not to make dents in the walls. Life was not a video game and she wasn't fighting an evil plant man priest in a chapel.
Ava swung the umbrella at Oracle, but Levi blocked the blow.
"You weren't the first to fight back," Levi sneered. "But I'll make sure you're the last."
