Catalyst

Chapter 57: Remix the System

Cale: "S-So what do you have p-planned?"

The seventh team has 4 assault rifles, 5 strange soldiers, 2 snipers, and 2 shotguns to deal with.

Kyle: "(confident) To enjoy their dying moments at the end of my-"

All soldiers aim at Kyle.

Dawn: "More like they want your dying moments."

Grace takes aim with Tori.

Faith: "Well, it looks like Kyle's going to be right."

Rose has purple energy form in her hands.

Rose: "It hasn't been decided yet."

Phillip: "All the more reason to fight, am I right?"

The soldiers spread out their aim.

Tori: "It's poetry."

Everyone jumps to the sides to avoid the first string of bullets.

Grace: "I don't think it's time for poetry."

The bow users are have issues aiming at the snipers.

Kyle: "The bullets are screwing with our aim!"

Dawn has spores glide through the air.

Dawn: "Spore Wave."

Some soldiers begin sneezing, ruining their aim.

Faith: "Not quite there..."

A sniper bullet is sent flying into Cale's stomach.

Cale: "I-It's nothing!"

The wound heals itself.

Phillip: "I'd do some altering but..."

The only unaffected soldiers are the strange ones.

Rose: "We get the picture."

The snipers have adjusted themselves to the sneezing and have hit Tori's left foot.

Tori: "(in pain) I-I can't move my leg!"

Dawn takes aim.

Dawn: "Talk about a load of shit."

Kyle yanks Tori out of the way of a stray bullet.

Kyle: "Well, we're all ranged fighters."

Cale forms her black vines as Phillip's flames surround his hands.

Rose: "Not entirely."

Phillip: "Yeah man, did you forget about my awesomeness?"

Kyle: "(awkwardly) Y-Yeah..."

They prepare for another attack.

Meanwhile...

The individual around 7ft tall and with the hammer is sitting by the riverbank.

Tall Male: "Where are they?"

He looks towards the sky.

Tall Male: "Guess all I really can do is believe..."

He's been ignoring the sounds of bullets, thinking that they're just part of the scenery.

Tall Male: "Guess I'd better get going."

He picks up his hammer as he begins to stand.

Tall Male: "Where should I go from-"

Cale's voice is heard through the bullets.

Cale: "R-Rose!"

Tall Male: "Is that... Cale?"

Voices of the heroes begin to echo through the bullets, clearly desperate.
