ZERO GLITCH: BETA Edition Part 2

Chapter 35: Conviction

Kirby: OK, this is our last stop! Green Hill, home of Nishaki, aka Moon, is straight ahead.

Syoyan: I know her. She said her sensei & father figure was Espio. One day, she went out to bring us together, & she came to me first. We're supposed to come to you when, you know...

Lo: No sweat. After all, the gang's almost come together.

Lo: (inside thoughts) I don't want anymore of my friend to risk their lives. (to Syoyan) Syoyan, come with me.

Syoyan: If it's about your wife, i'm gradually sorry about that.

~Green Hill, midnight, Mar. 29~

(Lo & Syoyan left the ship in secret, while everyone's still asleep)

Syoyan: This undercover attack really sounds good, Lo.

Lo: Yep. That way, we can save our firepower for what's ahead.

Syoyan: So, where are we dropping?

Lo: It says here that her base is in her master's dojo.

Syoyan: & Espio?

Lo: Currently treated, trying to free his apprentice.

Syoyan: No biggie.

(as there heading to the dojo, Lo has a feeling, something's following them)

~Espio's Ninja Dojo~

(the two finally arrived at the dojo in the middle of a fight. Sonic is busy trying to stop the shadowy menace)

Sonic: Hey, aren't you guys gonna help me?

Lo: What is it look like we're doing, sightseeing? YES, WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU!

Corrupted Nishaki: (notices the two) 0h LoOk. m0@r cH@Ll3n63R2! (takes the fight with them)

(As the fight ensues, Mario's seen taking sniper position)

Mario: (aims onto Nishaki's head) It will be over in just a click.

Lucinia (via mini camera): Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Mario: I guess.

(During the fight, CN had crashed to the fridge. As she got out, a chili dog's o her hair. This gave Syoyan an idea)

Syoyan: SONIC! CHILI DOG!

Sonic: WAIT, WHAT? (sees the dog at her back) CHILI DOG!!! (latches onto her face, trying to pull the dog out)

CN: AH! GET THAT FURRY BITCH OUT OF ME!!!

Syoyan: (restrains her on crystal) This spot's all yours!

(Sonic then disembarks as Lo readies his sword)

Lo: Right! (rushes for the final blow)

Mario: I got you in my sights. (pulls the trigger)

(As the bullet's shot, she noticed a impending mistake. Lo's heading to stab her front, & the angle here's explanatory)

Lucinia: WAIT!

(But it's too late. The bullet hits him at the ribs up close. He managed to drive the parasite away, but what cost)

Sonic: Have we done it?

Nishaki: (wakes up from the control) Huh? What's going on here? Lo?

Lo: Finally. (passes out)

Kirby: Bro, what happened?!

Lo: Me & Syoyan had successfully cleansed her. We got them all.

Kirby: Never mind that! YOU'RE DYING FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Lo: Kirby, you know what to do. Go create that thing i gave to you.

Kirby: As you wish, sir. (leaves as Lo struggles more)

Lo: (to Syoyan) You're a Hyrulean Mage. How could you not heal?!

Syoyan: I barely head to that type of magic!

Mario: (watches from afar, thinking) whut hav i done?!

Kel: I had two things to say to you.

Lo: What are those?

Kel: One, i think my sister had sent me way too much clothes back there. It hardly fits my closet!

Lo: & 2?

Kel: I just can't afford to lose you again.

Lo: I know. Everyone, i hoped to meet you again soon. I'd be happy if i can

(& with that, Lo lets out his final breath. Kel, who has been hit hard, cries on his side.)

SMG4: This can't possibly get any worse.

Mario: (looks at the window) Oh, it can.

(The gangs looks in fear as Ztar's Reaper army has arrived on the moon. The end of March is finally here)
