"PETRA, PETRA WHERE ARE YOU?" Troy yells, scraping rubble off himself

"JACK? JOHN? YAMI? WADE? OTHER JOHN? STAR?" Troy shouts, quickly searching through dust and fire

"I'm-f#ck-right here" Yam coughs, trying to get up

"YAMI" Troy helps Yami get up

"Thanks" Yami grunts

"GUYS, WHERE ARE YOU?" Troy looks around

There's a scream by a woman

"OH SH*T" Troy runs towards the scream

"STAR" Yami tries limping quickly

"OHO, WE GOT A B!TCH" A person covered in lava with horns aims a gun on fire

"GET AWAY FROM HER" Troy tackles the demon

"T-TROY" Star shouts, holding her stomach

"F#CK OFF FROM HER" Yami aims a pistol and starts popping heads off of demons

"C'MON, WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE" Troy helps Star up, carrying her away

"I'M SORRY" Star starts crying

Yami does her absolute best to aim and shoot demons in the head while walking backward to keep up with Troy with a limp

"Hey, you didn't do anything wrong, alright? The baby just didn't wanna come out yet, alright?" Troy asks, holding back tears

"I should've just shoved it out, it's my fault, I'm sorry they're dead" Star weeps

"Hey, hey, look at me, you didn't do anything wrong, I'm putting my blame on Blackhole and the Devil, alright, you did nothing wrong, okay?" Troy forces a smile

Star continues crying out of pure fear

"F#CK" Yami trips, finally

"YAMI" Star shouts, reaching to Yami

Troy looks over his shoulder

"JUST KEEP GOING, I'LL BE FINE" Yami yells, still shooting the pistol

"WE HAVE TO GO BACK FOR HER" Star yells

"I am, you're not" Troy looks around

Troy runs behind a boulder

"Here, take this, if someone you don't know comes even close to you, shoot them, I'll be right back" Troy puts Star down and gives her an Uzi

"Okay, I can do that" Star wipes her eyes

"Alright, just stay quiet, please" Troy puts leaves and sticks on her

"Yeah, of course" Star nods, smiling

"Be safe" Troy runs back to Yami

"FIRE MOTHERF#CKER, FIRE" Yami keeps pulling the trigger but nothing comes out

"GET HER" A demon yells

"F*CK OFF" Yami throws the gun at it and starts backing away

"Ohhh, so you're gonna try and be a hero, huh, let's see how many scars hero can take" The demon approaches her

"DO IT, B!TCH" Yami yells

"YOUR WORDS, NOT MINE" The demon shoves a sword through Yami's chest

"OH SH!T" Yami screams

"Nighty n-" It starts to say

Troy starts moving them down

"YOU'LL ALL REGRET THAT" Troy yells

"Ffff, ugh, alright, on the count of three, ready? One...Two...THREE" Yami slowly rips the sword out, trying to hold in her pain

"HHGGGHH" She grunts

Blood gushes out of her chest

"Oh f*ck, gotta...get up" Yami uses the sword to push herself up

Troy's still dealing with demons

"Get...to Star, Get to-to the girl, yeah, stay awake, push through" Yami huffs and puffs, slowly working her way to Star

"HOLY SH*T, YAMI" Troy shouts

"Need...Stahh-" Yami falls over

"NO, NO, NO" Troy yells, picking up Yami

Gunshots fire off, close

"STAR" Troy runs towards the boulder, still carrying Yami

Star stares, shocked, holding the gun, her hands trembling

"Good job, great, we've gotta get out of here, alright?" Troy carries Yami on his back and Star in his arms

"Y-yeah" Star stares, traumatized

"Is there something else wrong?" Troy asks

"I just killed someone" Star murmurs

"Yeah, good job, that was great" Troy smiles

"Is this how you felt when-when you killed someone?" Star asks

"That was...a long time ago but, I've gotta agree" Troy laughs a bit

"Do you enjoy killing?" Star asks

"I'd rather not answer that" Troy sighs

"I felt kinda...a rush from that, it felt good, from the vibration to the sound of it puncturing its skull, just...good" Star stares

Troy chuckles

"After you get over your...baby carrying, then you can be a merc or something" Troy chuckles

"Baby carrying?" Star asks

"I don't like the p word, okay?" Troy asks

"You don't like saying pregnancy?" Star asks

"You said it" Troy humms

"I didn't know that about you" Star smiles

"Well now you do" Troy chuckles

"I thought I was the only one who had a word that they hated" Star laughs

"What's your word?" Troy asks

"It...uh...starts with an n" Star answers

"HOKAY, THAT"S ENOUGH OF THAT" Troy yells

"NO, NOT THAT WORD, THE-thing on your...pecks...breasts, those things" Star explains

"Nipple?" Troy chuckles again

"SHHHHHHHHH" Star puts her hand on Troy's mouth

"Alright. I get that one, I won't aggravate you" Troy smiles

"Where are we going, anyway?" Star asks

"The base to patch Yami back up" Troy explains

"OH SH!T, WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?" Star asks

"Just a-f###ck...flesh wound" Yami weaky answers

"HEY, YOU'RE ALIVE, THANK GOD" Troy yells

"Am I?" Yami coughs

"WE'RE ALMOST THERE, HOLD ON" Troy yells, approaching a building
