Jacko P.O.V.
After a few minutes, I burst through the wall. When everything collapsed, the boulders blocked the exit, so this was my only choice.
I get up from the floor and look around! Woah! Instead of several hallways like in the floor above me, this us one huge open space! Which makes it easier for them to find me! Oh no, I...wait. Everything's empty.
Oh riiiiight I killed everyone. But I shouldn't push my luck. There's still a chance someone is arond. I enter several doorways. They all contain some portrait of some...strange figures. Humans kneeling to a figure, who...I can't even describe it.
Just weird. Cult shit. Should probably keep going. Even so, after an hour, nothing came up. Maybe I should go back up, perhaps he's already been sacrificed...
No. I must keep looking. For Zircon's sake.
Tricky P.O.V.
Our arguing escalates into a scuffle. Bryan is trying to push Kayla back, but she's pushing against him.
Kayla: Why are you being so difficult!? Wasn't it us who fought those protogen!?
Bryan: And what, get fatally injured over and over!?
Kayla: Weren't we the ones who were planning to escape the NEW resistance!
Bryan: It was only for more air to breathe, not to throw ourselves to he wolves!
Kayla: Weren't we the ones who snuck onto a protogen base to retrieve weapons!?
Bryan: Which we LOST!
Kayla: What about Dean!? Did him running off as a distraction not mean anything!? He could be dead for all we know!
Bryan: His distraction was for WHAT!? A new corpse!?
...
The room went dead silent. Bryan's eyes shifted from anger to a mixture of horror and sadness. Kayla's expression is dumbfounded.
Tricky: ...W...What d-did...
Brayn: ...We're staying.
Kayla: The fuck not!
Bryan: You just HAVE to be difficult!
Kayla: DIFFICULT!? You're the one who's MORE difficult.
Bryan: You don't understand-
While Bryan was trying to defend himself, Kayla managed to win the battle of scuffling. Bryan falls to the ground. He yelps in pain.
Kayla: Well screw you! We don't-
Tricky: Duck!
Shots fired inches above our heads.
Bryan: How did they find us!?
Tricky: Maybe because of all of your shouting!
A bullet almost hits me in the face, and I dive behind a medium sized pillar. The pot on the pillar falls and smashes on the floor. Kayla rushes forth and bashes them in the head. One pounces on her, and immediately gets hit with a mask thrown by Bryan.
A protogen quickly, so I grab a souvenir shirt, and throw it at him. He staggers, and pulls the shirt off, but by the time he does that, I hit him with the cash register. Ca-ching!
The other protogen slashes at Bryan's eye. I see a flash of blood, the a swing from Kayla's bat. I pick up a bag full of ruble, and swing it at it. It falls and stays completely still.
Tricky: Is everyone okay!?
Bryan: We killed them...phew.
Kayla: Hang on. Something's off.
