Soul Linkage CHAPTER 12 [Sacrifice]

Reaching the robotics lab, Jayden leaves and starts looking around for more encounters, however, all they get are...robots?

After killing one, they quickly realize...

[You Won.]

They never got anything from it.

...

Surely one of these things has to have SOMETHING

Money, supplies, a better defense item, anything.

So they go around.

Swinging and destroying massacring robots the whole way until...

[But nobody came.]

They were all gone. Nothing was left, and they got NOTHING from all of that wasted time.

Irritated and defeated, they head to the exit...before being stopped. By a small, fruit-taur child.

"Stop right there!"
The kid runs up to Jayden, "I've heard y-you've been...hurting people! A-and, I'm here...to. Stop. YOU! Y-yeah!"

[...Free EXP. This kid looks like they could have just enough EXP for you to finally be more powerful.]

Jayden turns around and slashes at the kid...Not.

Once again, they're blocked off by someone else taking the hit for them.

"M-MACH!"
"Kid. What did I tell you? Let the ADULTS handle this"
"I-I just wanted to help..."

"If it makes you feel better, you stalled them, and we managed to save more lives because of you. Now get out of here, I've got this."
"...thank you Mach."

The kid runs off and Mach looks at Jayden.

"As for YOU."

Mach pulls out her hammer.

"You think you can just slaughter people and get away with it? Everyone's hopes. Everyone's DREAMS. GONE. Just like that. All because of YOU.

...

I would've GLADLY been more than willing to have a fair FIGHT.

But looking at you now?
What I do next will be MORE than FAIR."

Mach swings at Jayden, knocking them back into a wall.

[Act → Check]

[Mach - 250 ATK 399 DEF

Seems like she's not screwing around this time.]

Jayden starts swinging at her, trying to attack her, but to no avail. She's faster than they are. Dodging comes far easier to her than you. It especially shows when Jayden is knocked back once again and hit forward towards a wall in front of them. Jayden crashes into it and pulls themselves off before being knocked into another one. Jayden barely gets a moment of peace or time to breathe before she comes at them. Jayden stands up, bleeding heavily. Hyperventilating. They try to stand but just fall to their knees before Mach kicks them over and starts pushing their hammer down on Jayden's head. "THIS. is for all the lives lost. We WILL go free. And we WILL NOT let your horrid kind wipe us o-"
Suddenly, cords rise out of the ground and wrap around Mach's limbs and torso. Jermbo comes in, "That'll be enough, thanks! Can't have my partner here dying before we get to the good part!"

"Y-YOU- TRAITOR! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OUR SIDE!"

"Buddy, I'm on the side that's still LIVING. And the most investing! That'll be all from you now though!"

The cords pull on Mach's limbs as she screams before they're ripped off and she disappears, her hammer falling to the ground. "Yeesh, dramatic much?"

[You Won. You earned 100 EXP and 200 Coins.]

"...not even a thank you? Heh, that's okay! Take ya' time to prep! Seeya Kas!"

Jermbo leaves and Jayden gets up walking to Mach's hammer before picking it up, [Ban Hammer - Atk 10 Only gods can wield such power.] Jayden equips it and heads to the elevator. To Red Ball City.
