FVN Chapter 154 Space Dungeon Round Two
Chapter 154 Space Dungeon Round Two
I explained every section of the dungeon so Thistle and Penny weren't surprised by anything. The last thing I needed was for one of them to get hurt, because they didn't know what to do in a situation.
"What are your weapons going to be?" I said, really making sure they were ready for this. I wanted this to be a success so bad, I wasn't taking any chances.
"I've got my trusty pacifier," Thistle said, pulling out a curved remote looking thing.
"What's that do?" I said.
"It knocks people out. Think the phaser from Star Hike," she said.
"I've only seen bits and pieces of that show, but I know what you're talking about. Sounds good. What about you Penny?" I said.
Penny held out her hand and it was full of pennies. "I'm going to use my pennies of course!"
"How is that a weapon?" I said.
"Have you ever been hit in the eye with a penny?" She said.
"No," I said.
"Well, it hurts," she said.
"Oook. Are you sure you don't want something like a sword?" I said.
"I'd just stab myself. Pennies!" She said and held the pennies up to my face.
"Ok, ok. Pennies. I get it." I said. "Let's get to it then."
I held their hands as we walked through the portal. I wanted to make sure we arrived on the other side at the same time. We did and I looked around to see what I expected to see, which I did.
"I'm sorry! I don't mean to be too useful! I just want to pull my own weight," Thistle said.
"It's ok, Thistle. You just have to be aware that Penny and I want to murder and annoy space pirates infected by a deadly psychological disease too," I said, laughing.
"Ok," she said. "I understand."
I crouched down and motioned for Thistle to get behind me. She took aim and shot all 20 pirates floating around the room and climbing on the generator.
Now that that was out of the way, we made our way across the zero gravity room and to the other side. When we opened the next door, we weren't greeted by Lara, as I had been. Presumably because Lara had been removed from the simulation.
I grabbed the one remaining Furorem Mortis anti viral medication in case any of us got infected, and we left the med bay into the cryo storage chamber.
Everything was going smoothly, so of course, as soon as we entered the cryo storage chamber, the pirates on the other side of the room began shooting at us.
I grabbed Penny and Thistle and ran behind one of the cryo storage containers. Thistle had already been hit by three bullets. "Hold on, Thistle. I've got you. I'm just going to remove the bullets and then heal you."
"Ok," she cried.
Reaching into her wounds with Vi, I grabbed the bullets one by one and removed them, dropping them on the floor. Then I flooded the wounds with Vi, healing them.
"Thank you, Dylan," Thistle said. "Remind me to kiss you later." She smiled at me with blood on her teeth.
I handed each of them 5 healing pills in case they got hurt and I didn't have time to heal them. They gladly accepted them and thanked me.
Glass rained down on us as the storage container we were hiding behind was shot. I looked around and realized the pirates had flanked us. I realized they did this, because the conditions we encountered them under were different than when I did it with Lara.
The first time, the gravity had been out, so the pirates stayed at the end of the room because they didn't feel confident jumping around in zero gravity. But this time they could just walk over and flank us. I should have thought about that.
They had us dead to rights. I would've been fine, but my girls wouldn't. So I grabbed Thistle and Penny, and shielded them with my body while the space pirates peppered my back with bullets.
