Since there are four groups now that are split into different dimensions each chapter will show two of the group's progress until they find a way to return to the same dimension.
"N-Now that I think about it, isn't this sort of bad?!" Red began to slightly panic.
"Hold on, the storage room should be somewhere near here, right? We could probably get some weapons there," Nana said.
"Wait, isn't that also where-"
"Yes! Where they keep mallets and hammers!" Nana's eyes seemed to sparkle.
Why is it that her eyes sparkle whenever she's talking about mallets and hammers?! Red sweated.
"Alright! I'll lead the way!" Nana walked off in the direction of the storage room.
Before he followed he noticed a large dent on the wall.
"Was that always there?" Red murmured to himself.
"Hurry up!"
"Coming!"
"Well we should get going," Samus scoffed.
"Samus! You don't understand!" Shulk exclaimed.
"Understand what?" Samus rolled her eyes. Is this how I react when Pit disappears from my sight?... Nah, that's not possible. she thought [hypocritically].
"Rob, he..." Robin took a deep breath, "He was used as a sacrifice for some weird occult group when he was young."
"And?" that caught the blonde's attention.
"I'm saying is that because of that whole sacrifice mess he's now possessed by some death god and has been trying his best to keep it at bay ever since that accident!" Robin yelled.
"'Death god'?" Samus raised an eyebrow.
"Meaning if one of us isn't there to help him keep that monster at bay it might break free and Rob will kill anyone in his sight!" Shulk yelled urgently as he continued to look for the albino boy.
The new piece of information made her widen her eyes.
"Who else knows about this piece of information?" Samus asked quickly.
"Lucina, but her presence will only tempt the monster to break free more," Shulk said, then immediately gasped right after saying that, along with his eyes glowing momentarily.
"...!" Robin soon began to sweat nervously in realization when that happened, "No...!"
"What-?" before Samus could even finish her question Shulk butted in.
"Samus! We NEED to get to his dimension!"
"Found them!" Nana yelled after digging through the supplies and retrieving two fairly large hammers.
"That's nice and all but I don't usually attack with hammers," Red couldn't help but sweat.
"Well deal with it," Nana huffed as she handed Red one of the hammers.
"Since when did you become so mature?" Red sighed.
"Since when did you become such a wimp?" Nana stuck out her tongue.
"Nana!"
The two turned back to see Popo and Paula running up to them.
"Popo?!" Nana was obviously just as shocked as Red to see Popo without his (not stolen) crutch and cast and running just fine.
As Nana asked Popo a gazillion questions relating to his leg Paula went to Red.
"W-Where's the oth-ers...?!" Paula hyperventilated.
"I don't know! We were walking to the main hall in silence and once we reached there we realized we were the only ones!" Red yelled in their (referring to himself and Nana) defense.
"This... is really... b-bad!" Paula began to sweat anxiously.
"Paula...?" Red asked, noticing how Paula looked more stressed and anxious than them.
"She... how could- no...! I shouldn't worry about that but..." Paula kept muttering to herself, as though the other three weren't there in the first place.
Their mouths immediately clamped shut when they started hearing slow but loud footsteps. They looked back again to see a girl with her head hung, as though her neck was limp, while carrying an ax. She murmured faint words in repetition, "...op down... everything is unworthy of living... chop them down..."
The girl began to pick up her pace in the direction of the group but Paula was the quickest to react.
"Popo! Catch!" she grabbed the hammer from Red and threw it towards Popo, who caught it be the handle.
The nurse then grabbed Red by the arm and yanked him along with her before the girl swung the ax, barely missing their heads and hitting the storage room's door.
"Aim for her neck and make sure to crush it even further!" Paula yelled as the girl had her foot on the wall, trying to yank the ax out from the door.
"Nana!" Popo looked back to her as she nodded, readying for battle.
The girl eventually got the ax out of the door and ran towards the siblings. She swung the ax to hit Popo but he had already swiftly ran off and was then countered by Nana.
She kept swinging the ax but was always countered by Nana and her hammer every time. After losing a bit of her grip on the ax Nana swung her hammer hard enough to send the ax flying.
"Popo!" she yelled.
Before the girl could turn around Popo had already swung his hammer at her neck hard enough to make a sickening crack noise, sending the girl straight to the ground and lay limp.
After that all they could hear were the siblings' ragged breathing.
"We... we did it...!" Nana fell to her knees in exhaustion.
"Jeez Popo, I thought you would have said something going against killing," Red sighed in relief for the two's safety.
"Where were you when... Nana caught me up on what happened with Pit... and vengeful corpses?" Popo managed a smirk even though he was more mentally exhausted rather than physically like Nana.
"Just know that if you see another one of them the quickest way to kill them is to find the part where they were killed and hit it," Paula said.
"Wait, how did you kno-"
"I'm going to leave him in your guys' hands!" Paula quickly exclaimed while running off.
"Hey! Are you going to be okay by yourself?!" Popo yelled.
"I'll be fine! Just make sure to stick to each other!" Paula yelled back before leaving their sights.
"She says that yet she goes off by herself..." Red sighed.
