Chapter 7: Bug Infestation, Part 1


Caroline meanwhile was in an electrical room with Fritz. Caroline was fixing the wires.


"Does the Wasp class suck as much as the Beetle class? Fritz asked.

"I don't know." Caroline replied. "I never used what items there are."

"Me neither."

"Then why did you say that the Beetle class suck?"

"Well… Uhh…"

"That's what I thought."

"I didn't even–"

"--End of discussion. I'm almost done with the wires. Don't you have stuff to do?"

"Ugh, fine. I'll do my tasks."


Caroline chuckled as she saw Fritz slowly making his way to a generator.


"Wow, you're a slow worker." She said, "I'm already done with my wires."


Fritz sighs.


"Jesus…" He said, "Why did I have to be stuck in an arcade game?"


Caroline then walked out of the electrical room and saw Richard crawling towards electrical.


"Sucks to be a maggot?" Caroline asked Richard.

"Pretty much." Richard replied. "But I can find a way to make good use of the class."

"I don't know if that's the case."

"Listen…"


The glitchy spider meanwhile was still at the ceiling vent. It looked down and saw Caroline and Richard.


"Ok?" Richard asked.

"Fine, whatever." Caroline replied.


Caroline and Richard then heard crawling coming from the ceiling vent.


"What the hell was that?" Richard wonders.

"Oh shit." Caroline said. "Richard, we got to leave and hide!"

"What?! Why?!"


One of the ceiling vent doors then falls to the floor. The glitchy spider then came out and crawled to the floor. It roared at Caroline and Richard.


"THAT'S WHY!" Caroline yelled as she grabbed Richard's arm and both bolted out of here. "RUN!"


The glitchy spider then followed Caroline and Richard.


"Hey! You're hurting my arm!" Richard shouted.

"Sorry!" Caroline shouted as she let go of Richard's arm.

"I never seen that thing before!"

"Well now you do because it's deadly!"


Caroline and Richard then reached a dead-end.


"Fuck!" Caroline shouted. "A dead-end!"


Caroline and Richard then turned to see the glitchy spider slowly crawl towards them.


"Welp, we're dead!" Richard shouted.


Caroline then felt glitter swirling around her hands. Richard turned to her hands and noticed it as well.


"Huh?! What's happening to your hands?!" They ask Caroline.

"I don't know!" Caroline replied as she waved her hands in the air.


Then, a rocket launcher takes form in Caroline's fingertips. Its rocket that's ready to launch has a wasp-like appearance as its pattern.


"Is that a rocket launcher?!" Richard shouted.

"I guess?!" Caroline shouted.

"Well shoot it at the spider!"


Caroline was struggling on the rocket launcher. She aimed it at the glitchy spider as it was halfway towards her and Richard. It roared at them.


"HURRY!" Richard yelled.

"WHERE'S THE THINGY THAT SHOOTS THE ROCKET OUT?!" Caroline shouted.


Caroline then felt the trigger of the rocket launcher.


"FOUND IT!" She replied.


As the spider then roared again, Caroline then shot out a rocket from the rocket launcher, directly at the spider. The rocket hit the spider, exploding it to bits.


"HOLY SHIT!" Caroline shouted. "THAT. WAS CRAZY!"


Richard took a deep breath.


"Ok, hopefully nothing like THAT happens to us again." He said as she took another deep breath and started to crawl away. "Anyway, let's do some tasks."


Caroline's rocket launcher then disappeared.


"Huh? Where did my rocket launcher go?" She wonders.


Caroline then waved her hands in the air to access her rocket launcher, but it seemed to be on its cooldown.


"What? I gotta wait 80 more seconds?!" Caroline said. "Damn it! What a long wait for such a crazy ability…"


Caroline then follows Richard.


"Here I come, Richard!" She said, "Wait up!"
