Ava held the hat and shook it up a bit, she turned her head to the left to not be unfair, and pick out 2 pieces of paper.
She unwrapped the first one,
"Jeremiah."
Then she unwrapped the second one,
"Ugh? Me?"
"I just came back to life and now I might die again, like what? Who even voted for me?" Ava asked.
Jeremiah looked at her up and down.
"Of course it was you, you don't even know me you're such a freak." She said again.
"I may not know you, but I know you're hiding something. And I probably will die because you seem to be in league with Evalah or something, but I'm going to fight for my life." Jeremiah replied.
"Are you just coming up with these fake worlds in your head? Where is this all even coming from?"
"Actually I don't care, I'm proving myself to everyone who voted for me." Ava added.
Nene went to get Ava a hazmat suit, she put it on... her and Jeremiah stepping out of the skating rink and onto the deck. There was a glitch green card floating for them to read.
"The fog around the mall can be destroyed with contact to water, in some stores of the mall there is a hidden valve that will activate all the sprinklers of the given side of the mall when turned(five valves total). When all valves are turned, whoever turns the most valves will be victorious, whoever has the least amount of valves turned however will be ripped apart by the 7 foot zombie downstairs. After your friend is deceased, a powerful scepter will be released from the water fountain that can kill the zombie with one zap. After the zombie is slain you can collect the corrupted crystal from its body, and be one step closer to escaping the Corrupt." Ava read.
The two of them immediately took off, Ava went into the skating rink and behind the counter to turn the first valve. She remembered seeing it when she first arrived.
"You've got this Ava!" Jobe yelled.
She turned it and all the sprinklers of the west side of the mall went off. Jeremiah looked through all the stores on the east side, and went into the one on the very corner of the building, it was a pet shop. Behind him, he heard the footsteps of the big zombie, he turned around; getting a glimpse of it, and ran away to hide in the restroom. He hid in the last stall locking the door and crouching on the toilet. He heard the monster come in, his steps making the ground beneath him shake. It burst open the first stall, no one. Then the second stall, no one. He then stepped to the third stall... making no noise whatsoever. As Jeremiah took a sigh of relief, not getting killed by the monster, he heard it kneel down and peek from the gap underneath the door. He screamed in fear, the zombie grabbing at him from under the stall. Jeremiah then crawled under the other gap of the stall and went through the second one to run out of there and go into the employees only back room. It was in there he found the valve, turning it and making the east side sprinklers go off. Ava walked to the front of the mall, she found a valve on the back of a pillar and turned it, activating the sprinklers in the front of the mall. The giant zombie hopped from the second story down to the first, now chasing after Ava. Jeremiah went to the back of the mall, and into the breaker room, the fourth valve was on the back wall, he turned it, activating the sprinklers in the back of the mall. The monster still chasing after Ava, she searched around for another valve, going to the center of the mall to see if there was one there. There indeed was, it lied on the side of the water fountain. As she looked forward, she saw Jeremiah... he was also trying to get it. It was life or death for whoever turned this valve. Ava ran towards the waterfall, crawling up it. Jeremiah did the same, but as he got up there, she hit him in his face with all her might. He fell to the ground as she turned the valve. The sprinklers all over the mall were now set off. Like it was raining. The monster walked up to him.
"Please no! I don't want to die!" He cried.
It was then that the zombie picked Jeremiah up, smashed him on the ground repeatedly and began feasting on his body, tearing through the touch hazmat suit material Jeremiah was wearing. Ava watched in horror, taking off the suffocating hazmat suit that now served her no purpose because the fog was gone. The scepter emerged from the top of the water fountain, she grabbed it and reached it into the air. It sparked with green electricity.
She then blasted the zombie with it, it convulsing from the pain of the energy coursing through its veins. It then flopped to the ground. It no longer was conscious, it might've been dead already but it was second dead now. Ava reached into its chest and took out the green crystal from it. She walked back upstairs drenched in water, and held it up to the group. One man down, 6 more to go.
