(Continuing with Group 2 as they fight against Konama, a former King's Guard to the king of the castle on Level 11. So far, BatPug has suffered severe injuries to his chest but remains on his feet beside Virus. As for everyone besides Stone, Bat, and Virus, they remain watching the fight from the above stairway.) (Charging with his scythe, Virus jumps up into the air above Konama and brings his weapon down, slamming it against the floor as Konama dodges. As Virus's weapon connects with the ground, a shockwave of nanobots swarm out from the scythe, consuming everything in the area of the shockwave.) (Pulling his scythe back to his hands from the ground, Virus grabs ahold of the blade of his scythe and disconnects it, now being able to use the blade of his scythe for range and close combat. Twirling his scythe beside him, Virus swings his weapon towards where Konama is standing and the blade extends out with a connected chain, slamming into Konama with high speed and creating yet another swarm of nanobots.) Virus: *pulls his scythe back to his hands*. "Heh, he's gonna be hurting after that one." Konama: *slams his fist into the ground and pulls himself up*. "Damn robot, this fight is just beginning!" (Focusing on the energy in his body, Konama's body begins to surge with yellow electricity as he becomes enraged. Gauntlets powering up with a bright light, Konama throws his fists forward towards Virus and shoots out all of the energy from his body into a massive beam of yellow energy.) Virus: *kicks BatPug aside as the beam approaches*. "Shit! That's fast!" (Taking the full force of the beam after saving a weakened Bat, Virus slams into the side of the inside castle walls, crashing through multiple walls through the force of the energy.) Konama: *reloads his gauntlets and takes a deep breath*. "I can go forever! As long as it takes! Who's next?" StoneFlare: *steps up from a few feet behind Konama*. "No. No more fighting from you." Konama: *quickly turns around*. "What did you say?" StoneFlare: *adjusting his chin from the previous punch*. "I understand how you are feeling on the inside, you feel you must do your duty even if it pains you to do so. But, you hate your higher ups, you said it yourself...." Konama: *squints at Stone*. "Don't think I am not aware of your distraction, it won't work." StoneFlare: *shakes his head*. "No, I'm not messing with you. I would like for you to help us, help us defeat the king of this castle." Konama: *lowers his guard*. "So.....you wouldn't cast me away, you would accept me, as a friend?" StoneFlare: *nods*. "We could really use your help. You should be apart of something again." Konama: *looks down at his hand*. "I....I...." (With a sudden massive explosion of red nanobots, Virus lands behind Konama as his guard is down and punches his arm through his chest, sending out a swarm of his nanobots to infest Konama's body.) Konama: *grabs Virus's arm that's sticking through his chest, losing his strength quickly*. "No....." Virus: *smiles under his hood*. "I don't care if Stone was being genuine, I'm killing you." StoneFlare: "Virus no!" (Having his insides swarmed with Virus's nanobots, the inside of Konama's body is eaten alive and drained in excruciating pain until death.) Virus: *pulls his nanobots and arm away, watching Konama fall to the ground*. "Good riddance." StoneFlare: *shocked and dumbfounded by what Virus has done*. "What the fùck dude?!" Virus: *looks up at Stone*. "Got a problem?" StoneFlare: *steps up to Virus's face*. "You must be one stupid fùck if you don't see what you just did." Virus: *chuckles*. "I finished it. Now, get out of my way." StoneFlare: *looks down at Konama's body as Virus walks past him*. "Tsk...." ----------------------------------------------------------- (Back with Group 1 who have decided to run from the presence of Orion instead of fighting him. As they flee on foot through the hallways of the medical facility, Pyrus has pulled the team into an unknown room behind a double door and barricaded the door behind them as they enter.) Pyrus: *catching his breath*. "Phew, close one." Pyre: *points at Pyrus, speaking to him quietly*. "Don't touch me again, I don't like it when people put their hands on me." Pyrus: *questionably stares at Pyre*. "Uh, okay then...." (Catching their breath, the team turns around to look at the room they have wandered into.) Ronin: "Woah, what is all of this?" Ringleader: "Hm, appears to be some kind of research room." Ronin: *walks up to one of the many computers on the tables*. "I don't remember anything like this." Artemis: "Well, you also didn't explore this realm that much Ronin." Ronin: *turns on one of the computers, looking at all the information*. "It.......It speaks of the Asterisk dungeon, all the data of granted abilities and stuff." Orcinus: *shrugs his shoulders*. "You wanna enlighten us man? I have no idea what that is." Ronin: *shakes his head*. "Forget about it, none of you would understand anyway." Pyre: "Tsk, real helpful douchebag." Ronin: *ignores Pyre*. "..." (Laying low until Orion's search stops, the group looks around the room for any possible other information or secret path.) Artemis: *walks up next to Ronin and places both her arms around his right arm, whispering to him*. "You shouldn't speak of things like that, it's obvious they won't understand and we shouldn't tell them either. It's information they can go without knowing." Ronin: *glances at Artemis*. "I'm sorry, you're right. It should just be the two of us here, they'll all die eventually with what's to come." Artemis: *smiles at Ronin*. "They make good meat shields for now, I can't wait until they're all dead." Ronin: *looks back at the computer*. "It's a harsh way of thinking but, if I want the seat of creator back, we must be prepared." Artemis: "Heh yeah, you'll always have my support." Ronin: *glancing over to the other players in the group*. "Patience is all that is required of us Artemis, we'll get what we want sooner or later." (End of Part 3)
