Chapter 622: VV4, 16 - Rocky Fracas

VV4, 16 - Rocky Fracas

It took less than a minute to take the statues down now that everyone was familiar with them. Once empty, the room opened the door to reveal another stairway leading downward. Sighing, the group continued. This time the floor had a trap hallway, a statue room, a trap hallway, and then a statue room.

This is the most generic sh*t, Sweet Dream said after they cleaned out the final room. Is the plan to bore us to death?

Locations are always hit or miss, Oro said. Sometimes you get something great, like Mutatholis. Sometimes its underwhelming.

And sometimes its whelming? Jack finished.

At least it seems were through the worst, Dylan said. I think this last door leads to a boss room.

The others looked at the entryway before them. Unlike the other stone doors, flowering patterns were carved across the face. Each flower held a figure between the petals, representations of what seemed to be various gods. After a moment, the door crumbled open, revealing a set of carved stairs.

Time to get back into character, Dylan said.

Rough should lead the way, Sweet Dream said. Your new armor should reflect any magic they send at us.

Getting real tired of being the frontline, Rough said. I hired you all, remember?

Fine, Ill take the lead, Sweet Dream said. Excuse me for trying to be tactical.

Dude, who needs tactics, Riptide said. Were so much stronger than everything here.

Indeed, Dr. Zlo said. In fact, I predict we shall finish this within the hour. Rough shall have his new metal and we can all get paid.

Ill take that bet, Pan-Pan said. How does this jobs payment sound?

Dr. Zlo sniffed. And risk you stalling the fight for more money? Please, try and come up with a better plan next time.

Pan-Pan smirked. Perceptive. Perhaps youll be in need of someone with my skills after this?

Ill think about it, Dr. Zlo said, striding forward.

Sweet Dream transformed as she took point, chocolate trailing behind her. Dr. Zlo made a face, activating his rocket boots while Rough and Pan-Pan moved to the side.

The group emerged from the hallway to a octagonal room, the walls carved with various gods. In the center stood the two ancients, the two channeling something into a square of metal hovering above.

That must be the Loqium, Dr. Zlo said. Well, this should be easy.

Thats where youre wrong, interlopers, the old man said.

We have communed with our gods and they find you wanting, the old woman said.

For that, you shall die, the old man finished.

The two turned as one, magic crackling in their hands. The old man took to the air while the woman stepped forward. Both made a pulling motion, and suddenly the walls in the room spun. Dr. Zlo tried shooting them, but found his laser absorbed by a shimmering forcefield. All they could do was watch as the walls spun.

Eventually, the walls finished, stopping on an image of a centaur. Suddenly, there was a flash from the metal in the room. Dr. Zlo turned, momentarily blinded. When he could see again, the villains found themselves facing down a translucent image of a centaur, the old man and woman floating inside.

The creature reared, legs stomping down. Rocks sprang from the floor, moving to hover in a circle around the monsters torso.

Dude, thats awesome! Riptide said.

Now, Zlo! Sweet Dream shouted.

I want you to know Im only following this plan because its something I also thought of! Dr. Zlo shouted as he fired the stasis spell.

Before the centaur could stomp, and thus create more boulders, the stasis spell struck. The monster froze in place, the perfect target for the newest weapon in Riptides arsenal.

This is surf leader, dudes, Riptide said. Im beginning my attack run!

The villain surfed down from high in the sky, Rough holding on behind. Once close enough, Riptide spun and kicked back, knocking Rough off the board.

Its away! Riptide shouted.

Rough shouted a curse at Riptide before focusing on his fall. He steadied himself as best he could, spreading his arms wide to become a larger target. The centaurs body flowed around Rough as he struck, the magical construct refusing to stick to the villains spell reflective body. He shot through the centaur like a bullet, striking the old man as he fell.

His attack pulled the man straight out of the centaur, which in turn shattered the magical construct. The other ancient fell to the ground, Pan-Pan throwing arrows as she landed. Three struck the old woman in quick succession, depleting her health bar completely. At the same time, Rough landed on top of his enemy, breaking both the ground and the old man. The ancients shouted in painful defeat and light started to pierce through their skin. The villains backed away as the light escaped the two ancients, eventually leaving nothing left but two skeletons that clattered to the ground before vanishing.

Well, that was needlessly dramatic, Dr. Zlo said as their enemies vanished. However, I will give them points for the fancy exit.

Keep focused, Sweet Dream said. There could be more.

Then I suggest we use this lull in the fight to snag our prize, Dr. Zlo said, pointing at the tablet of Loqium.

I agree, Rough said. The villain jogged over to the floating metal. He reached out, laughing as his body reflected the barrier away. In moments it was over, and Rough had the material he came for.

That went well, Pan-Pan said.

Dudes, that was awesome! Riptide laughed. I turned Rough into a missile!

Dont think Ill forget you kicked me, Rough said. Now, lets see what this will do.

The villain took a bite out of the Loqium, chewing it thoroughly.

Well? Sweet Dream asked after some time.

Its psychic powers, Rough said slowly. Eating this gives me psychic powers.

Like telekinesis? Sweet Dream asked.

Rough nodded. I can only lift up to ten times the amount I eat, but thats still impressive.

Anything on how fast you can move objects? Jack asked.

Rough shook his head.

Well, I know what were figuring out next, the woman replied.

Later, Dylan said. Looks like a new day is about to start. Apparently slogging through that pyramid took more time than I expected.

Yeah, god that was a lazy dungeon, Sweet Dream said.

Ill be good for more gaming tomorrow, Dylan said. But right now Im going to get ready for work.

Cool, see ya dude, Riptide said.
