One hour later...
Gabriel watches the helpless heroes as they stumble through the maze of Quola's sewer system.
Gabriel: "How can you find me in this maze? Only a map can save you in this situation."
Abigail's body has been tossed to the side, blood painting the wall and her body still twitching withe the faint signs of life.
Gabriel: "(smirking) Now let anarchy lead them to me."
Meanwhile...
The sewers are beginning to rumble like an earthquake.
Odd: "(awkwardly) Uh... what the hell is that?"
Footsteps begin to echo.
Jake: "Did they actually come down here?!"
They can see the deathly aura of Psychos surrounding them.
Jade: "Why are they suddenly coming down?!"
Jared readies his laser discs.
Jared: "I hit the nail on the head."
Jared starts landing headshots as Jake's turns into a staff.
Jake: "Can you keep us covered?"
Jay readies a defensive stance as Jamie draws her knife.
Jamie: "Go ahead Rocky."
Rocky dashes towards some and begins to maul them to death.
Jack: "(smiling) Sayonara!"
Jack touches the wall, causing the wall to smash a whole chunk of them into paste.
James: "We need to get out of here!"
James summons twin pistols.
Dimitri: "Wh-Where?!"
There's oddly one open passage behind them.
Eryth: "This way!"
They hurry down the only clear passage as Jack, James, and Jared stop the enemies from getting too close.
Meanwhile...
Gabriel: "Left, right, straight..."
Gabriel is seemingly controlling which direction the Psychos dash towards.
Gabriel: "You will come right to me, just like you asked."
Abigail is barely alive as the look in her eyes changes to something more alive.
A half hour later...
Everyone has been backed into a corner by the overwhelming number of Psychos.
Jay: "Fuck me."
James: "I wouldn't no matter how much you asked."
Jared is slowly backing up towards the wall.
Jared: "We're totally fucked."
Jason and Jade try to miracle them away, but the numbers are too great.
Jade: "Well, I lived a shit life."
Jared presses his hand against the wall, only to push an unknown button.
Jared: "Huh?"
A door opens right behind him as he leans back, causing him to fall inside.
Jared: "Guys!"
The Psychos suddenly pause.
Eryth: "What the hell?"
Odd: "Why'd they stop?"
???: "It's been quite the time Jamie..."
Jamie freezes up.
Jamie: "You lead us right to you..."
They turn around to find Gabriel calmly walking towards them.
Gabriel: "... and I appreciate you for bringing the key right to me."
Jack's face goes dark.
Jack: "We'll finish this..."
