ZERO GLITCH: BETA Edition (OVERLOADED)

Chapter 10: Tempest

Announcer: Alright, all competitors are loaded & we're ready to go!

Masa: Team IndieGolfNinerNiner, are you ready?

Zel: Affirmative, Operation BarrierBlock is a go!

Lo: Yo Zel, I want to say, I hope we this plan works out with no regrets.

Zel: You mean their plan?

Lo: No. *grabs her hand* With you.

(Zel then blushes to see how well Lo had felt to her, but the game has just begun)

(As they got transported to the game, Lo suddenly arrives at the void where he hears constant murmuring & a star appears onto the distance. Before he even goes close, he is online)

Lo: WHO'S READY TO DIE?!

(Throughout the round, Lo & Zel had jazzed to the beat of the song killing people who tried to attack the gang)

Masa: Team, GIVE THEM HELL!

RIGHT!

~later~

Tari: The truth is... you called game too early!

(Lo & Zel had ambushed Belle at her place)

Zel: PLAN B IS HERE!

(Tari then breaks free)

Belle: IMPOSSIBLE! But how!

Zel: We may have neither the power of super players nor your cyborgs, but when we work together, no one can defeat us. For nothing's impossible when you got the right friends on your side!

(Both she & Lo looked onto each other & hi five as heartwarming music [Zelda's Lullaby] is playing. They kept on staring until they noticed Belle has got out of their trap & jumped off to her)

(When the game glitches to unrecognition, Lo & Zel experience their different visions while returning. Lo has a pentagram & the Ink Machine while Zel has a red streak, a yellow note, & an egg)

Lo: (tries to figure out what had happened when he shuffled back to reality!) Sofia, what's going on?

(The guards then came) 

Sofia: We're screwed!

~later~

Lucks:Wipe everything on it. Run a worm program too incase she made backups.

(No one knew just yet but Lo kept a backup in his arm at the trash folder)

Such a waste of talent.

~much later~

Lo: Question. Do both of us (him & Zel) had something to do in this?

Lucks: Hardly. Now tell me, do any of you know what collateral is?

this... is collateral! (Breaks the cartridge, affecting Theo & the duo)

Tari: NO! (Rushes to Theo)

Theo: Tari, what's happening? Don't worry Tari, I'll just respa- (goes offline)

*sadness intensifies*

Tari: THEOOOOOOooooOOooo!

Lo: Zel, why don't we vanish like him?

Zel: -\_('_')_/-

Lucks: Here's the counteroffer Tari. Their freedom in exchange for you & those two's undivided loyalty to TASCORP, to me, but if I get anything less, or if they give me any reason to regret my generosity, then your collateral is forfeit! Understand?

Lo: (notices the subtle glitching) Yo new boss, mind me & Zel start work as soon as we return?

Lucks: (thinks about it for a while) Meh, ok. After all, our company is like family, right? TASCORP isn't that bad!

Zel's inside mind: are you sure about that?!

Lamar: MAH DUDES!! We're not gonna forget you all! Understand?

Sofia: It's going to be okay everyone. Trust us!

Lo: Don't worry guys. (Both he & Zel vanish as the signal disappears)

(Cut to black)

Tari: We'll be fine.

(Outro: full version of Always Running but it's seemingly more somber due to the cliffhanger [Full Season] or Or3o's cover of Breeze)

(The two then warped back into Peach's Castle, 8 minutes passed)

Zel: What just happened?

Lo: It seems that we've been kicked out of the server due to connection disruptions.

Zel: When do we return?

Lo: Perhaps over a year or so.

Zel: *sighs* This might be a downer ending for them, huh?

Lo: I'm not quite sure about that. (Shows backup in Trash folder)

Zel: WOW!! How'd you get that?

Lo: I had just put it in when we're caught. I placed it in the trash as a counter-measure.

Zel: I sure hope everyone will be ok. Wanna go get some ramen?

Lo: I'll be there.

(As soon as Zel left the room, he takes a look around, seeing Mario & Tari playing Dark Souls. He then wondered onto his friends, & the single one whom he tries to bring back)
