Forty Two - Belladona (2)

Am I the only one that feels like 40 is spelled incorrectly?

(Longer chapter)

Ava Max and Alan Walker continued straight.
        "Where is everyone?" Ava Max asked. "They chickened out!"
        Alan Walker received a message on his earpiece. "We're supposed to meet at the roof launchpad, which is completely in the wrong direction. Aaaand K-391 just detected a group of 30-so NCS soldiers headed our way. Great. Just great," Alan Walker sighs.
        "Awesome! Now we're in a death trap," Ava Max pouts. "I didn't pick this direction!"
        "Yeah, you did," Alan Walker counters.
        "Uggggg. So. What do we do?" Ava Max groans.
        "Stay back, and hug the wall. Let me handle this," Alan Walker commands.
        "Umm, no? I didn't go through all that training to hide on the sidelines," Ava Max counters.
        "Fine," Alan Walker says. "Just stay out of my way."
        They heard the sound of running footsteps. Ava Max gripped her sword. Alan Walker's body started to crackle with blue electricity as he walked forward, confidently. Then he charged around the corner and proceeded to beat the F flat out of those suckers. Ava Max stared, a blank look on her face.
        "Wow."
        "Oh, Alan's taking care of it? Good." K-391's voice sounded from the earpiece.
        "Yeah, he's 'taking care of it', he could also F sharping use some help!" Alan Walker said, annoyed, as he grabbed a soldier the drawstring on their hoodie, scrunching the hood closed, then punching them.
        "Sorry, I just found out my headset is damaged. I'm not even sure it's safe to wear them, much less teleport," K-391 replied. "I'm working on it now."
        "And I'm nowhere near you," TFR added, also through the earpiece. "We're in some kind of file storage room. The 'you are here' sign says I'm closest to the roof launchpad, so if K fixes his headphones, here would be a good place to meet up."
        "Wait, did you say there's a 'you are here' sign!?" K-391 asks incredulously.
        "Yeah, can you believe it?" TFR responds.
        "Unbelievable." Alan Walker replies, dodging a punch.
        
        "Wait, why is Alan shimmering like that?" Ava Max askes, referring to the blue electric aura Alan Walker was giving off.
        "You didn't notice that before?" K-391 asked. "Both me and Alan had ours activated during the ravine trek."
        "No, I didn't," Ava Max acknowledges. "I've certainly never done that."
        Alan Walker knocked out one last soldier and smirked. "It's like this. Artists have been fighting for our lives since the dawn of time. If it's not rogue music corporations, it's terrorists, artist hunters, or wars between musicians themselves. We evolved to have some way to defend ourselves."
        "But what about our immortality? That's defense," Ava Max pointed out.
        "That is our immortality," TFR contradicted. "Interestingly, it turns out we've got something similar going on on the inside, preventing against the common maladies of age."
        "Fascinating," Alan Walker says sarcastically, after getting slammed against the wall by a soldier.
"But I'm immortal too, and I've never glowed like that," Ava Max says.
"Have you ever been in battle?" K-391 asks.
Ava Max thinks about this "now that i think about it, no..."
"Well, then of course you haven't ever needed to." Alan Walker concludes.
"But it's like I've said before, it's not a perfect shield. You can still get hurt if you're not careful. And usually each artist has at least one weakness-" TFR explained.
TFR was cut off when Alan Walker fell face-first to the ground after getting hit.
"-Taser guns," Alan Walker sighs. He rolled over with great difficulty. "-Two can play that game..."
He pulls an identical weapon out of his pocket, and blasts the soldier who hit him. Ava Max rushes to his side and tries to help him up, but he swats her away.
"I'm ok!" Alan Walker says irritatedly. He gets up and dusts himself off, which was weird, because that place was wicked clean.
"Is that why the lightning strike during the storm hurt you? Your weakness is electricity?" Ava Max asked.
"Yeah, duh." Alan Walker responded.
"Mine's sharp objects," K-391 contributed. "I don't do very well with stuff like swords or arrows."
"My shields work at only 27% efficiency when I'm wet." TFR added. "Annoying when I have to deal with stuff in the ravine."
"My shields don't work, period," Laura Brehm said. "Had a surgery mishap. Only thing they work for now is fall damage."
"Yay," Alan Walker said sarcastically. "You know, If anyone had hacked our channel, we're now dead." He then proceeded to try to help K-391 fix his headphones by giving directions through the earpiece. The dialogue was like this:
K-391 asked "How do I fix the Flux Capacitor? I think it's corroded."
"What? Why is there a Flux Capacitor? Is this a headset or a time machine?" Alan Walker replied annoyedly.
"What? No! That's not what this is for! If that's what it does, it's incorrectly named! This one does..."
However, unknown to Alan Walker, one soldier was getting up behind him. As Alan Walker yelled at K-391 "Vacuum tubes? In that situation??!" The soldier prepared to attack...

And Ava Max ran them through with her sword.

The two stared at each other. Alan Walker shrugged.
