Fate's Dimension [Original] Ch.12: Tactical Retreat

Saka and I, have been killing so many of these things, "Holy $#!% this is like half the entire population." Seriously there's like over 500 of these things. Saka looks confused/concentrated "YOU THINK!" We dodge an acid spit, there's too many to keep track of. "There's far too many of them, we have to get out of here." Saka nods, "Where are we supposed to go? There going to follow us, you know right?" I channel energy to my back and two wings of fire sprout from my back. Saka does the same only still water instead of fire. We take off into the sky, an army of Lokinabs follow behind us. We fire M-scythes and tridents at them, they ceased their attack for some reason and went the opposite direction. "What the hell happened?"

I'm so tired from fighting, and having to flap my wings like this isnt helping what so ever. Saka got the easy part here C.O.A grants you a lot of energy so you don't tire out to fast. We land at a warehouse near the basilicom. I look around the corner. "Ok, coast's clear"
Saka deactivates C.O.A and starts walking around the warehouse. "This place seems abandoned, we should be able to find something though." Is Saka really thinking of searching the place for loot right now? "Seriously, the first thing that comes to your mind is loot?" Saka looks at me with a annoyed look, "No, i'm looking for some sort of map or guide so we can find our way back." I highly doubt that, but whatever. We start rummaging through multiple plies of stuff, had to kill a few monsters, but that wasn't that bad. "AHA here we go." I find a map of Gamindustri, it's definitely big. "Huh? Urgh!" I stop, that smell. Fresh blood!

"What is that?" I walk outside, and laying on the ground, multiple sharp pipes through his chest, was Dorian. " *Cough* Well, this is quite unfortunate, eh Raidea?"

Wait WHAT? HOW? WHY? "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!"

Saka runs outside and has the exact reaction as me. "WHAT THE ACTUAL F***?!"

Dorian grips one of the pipes and pulls it out, blood spills out everywhere.

He continues pulling pipes out of his body, an intestine lands beside me.

"Oh, could you get that for me?" I kick the intestine over to him.

Dorian stands up, and blood spills out all over the floor, the pipes stacked nicely.

"Well, this is not how this is supposed to go" He takes his dagger and strikes his heart.

Blood starts to fill up the holes, regenerating the flesh.

"Yeah, this dagger is pretty much good at everything. Except for sealing."

I need to know what happened NOW. "Dorian, what. Happened?"

He forces us to the ground, silencing us. "Don't make a sound"

Something flies overhead. Dorian stares at the direction.

"Crap, it's heading to the basilicom. We have to go!"

We all get up and run out of the warehouse.

(One long Marathon later)

We arrive at the Lastation Basilicom. Dorian hands us a cardboard box.

"We don't know if that thing is in there, so we need to be careful. So, Solid Snake!"

I push away the box, "No need, I have a solution." My eye under my hair glows black, my hair turns pitch black, I sink into the floor becoming the shadow of a snake. Dorian stares at the shadow, "That works too." I follow Dorian and Saka in they're boxes. I can only see about a foot above the floor, but I can still see the boxes, so it's fine. Dorian leads us into a large room, which is trashed. Dorian comes out of his box, Saka follows suit, I come out of the floor. "Ow, That hurts" Dorian leads us to an air vent, he removes the grate and we climb in.
