Character Scramble III Round 1C: The Curse of the Labyrinth

The ball bounces back towards Gyro. As the ball re-enters the bubble, Frances sees his golden opportunity. He tilts the ball upwards towards Steven. Accelerating the steel ball equivalent to the speed of a bullet, a chunk of Steven's belly tore out including his red stone.

Gyro needed to craft a steel ball quickly before the pink bubble disappears. He starts disassembling his steel belt buckle.

Gyro says to himself: That was impossible. How did my steel ball go off course like that? More importantly, how did it increase its speed?" (He looks over at Frances, and noticing the bubble disappeared.) "It was him. The coward. I'll make him pa--

Blood gushes out of his mouth. His incomplete steel ball drops to his feet followed by his body with multiple bullet wounds.

Wei whispers to him across the room: I got you, you son of a bitch.

He tosses his empty gun aside and rolls on his back. Frances comes to aid him.

Frances states: He really got you good, didn't he?

Wei replies: I don't even feel the pain.

Frances reassures him: Just wait till your adrenaline wears off. You stay here, I gotta help that kid. He seemed harmless... I guess he just got stuck protecting these people. I'll use your cuffs just in case.

As said, Frances cuffed Steven and treated his wound.

Frances asks: How's Lucina doing?

Wei looked at the fight. Noticing pillars torn down,and walls destroyed.

Wei replies: She looks good from here. That other guy has some intense strength.

Going over to the 1v1. He knocks her blade down, elbowing her chest, but she dodge out of it. She flips over him with a deadly swing. He swoops backwards. His left ear gets sliced off, but pushes through the pain to gut punch her. She falls to her knees. He goes for a side kick as she shield blocks it. He hammers down on the shield. "I can't hold for much longer, I can't let him break my shield" just before he lands his push kick, Lucina comes out of her shield and poke checks her sword in his attacking leg. Twisting it the opposite way, he flips over on the floor. She pulls her sword backwards and points it towards his neck.

Lucina demands: "Don't ever call me... Doll".

She looks over to Frances and then Wei.

Lucina commands: Frances, take the cuffs off the kid and give them to me. He looks like he's out cold from here.

Frances complies and tosses her the cuffs.

Wei slowly gets up. His arm dangling on his side.

Wei cries out: It's starting to really fucken hurt.

He walks over to the idol. Goes in to reach for it with his good arm.

Wei says: So I'm assuming I'll hold the idol since you guys got your hands full with your prisoners.*

Lucina screams: NOOOOO

Too late. Wei looked around and saw the ceiling starting to crumble. He re-gripped the idol and signaled everyone to start getting the fuck out.

Frances instructs: Lucina, take point since you know the way. I'll be right behind Wei

Lucina lifted Eikichi onto her back and started running towards the exit. Frances checked the pulse of Steven before lifting him. He sighed as he left him on the ground. He caught up with the others, but noticed Lucina lacking in speed. Boulders tumbling around them. Frances catches up with her.

Lucina tells Frances: I know, I have to leave him.

Eikichi: WAIT WHAT!?

Lucina shrugs off Eikichi without looking back. Wei hops over him like a hurdle.

Eikichi: YOU MOTHER FUCKERS, FUCK YO-

A nice chunk from the ceiling ended his misery.

The sunlight beamed through the exit. Lucina climbed up the trap door. Wei tossed the idol to her. She helped him up along with Frances.

Wei reassures everyone: see, I told you guys. We still have two days to rest. (He looks at his shoulder again.) ahh fuck me.
