ch. 5: to rescue & protect part V

[error 409]

[announcement: there was a mistake occasioned by internal problems on the program Offering known as the Fallen Hero Mad-Matician is still alive]

Mad-Matician is dragging his left leg as he tries to run. with his left hand he is injecting adrenaline on his chest. he is missing two fingers on his right hand which he used to take medicine from his inventory. he drinks it all (he already injected himself with five syringes of the Anti-Zombie cure) those zombies ate part of his left leg and right arm.

Mad-Matician looks behind afraid of been attack at any moment. he was wrong all this time he though that he was around small rats when in reality this is a den of wolves. he keeps running as fast as he can until he looks at Choco-Coco-Latte standing in front of him holding a bastard sword.

Mad-Matician kneels pleading for mercy. Choco-Coco-Latte holds his face with his left hand. he puts his right hand inside of the hole on Mad-Matician's jaw. Mad-Matician screams with a lot of pain. Choco-Coco-Latte takes his hand out of Mad-Matician's mouth covered in blood. Choco-Coco-Latte leaves accepting Mad-Matician's pain as enough vengeance.

at the moment inside of the infirmary Doctor Middle Finger is drinking with the Organic Florist. both of them are completely and absolutely drunk after drinking three whole bottles of tequila. Organic Florist asks to Doctor Middle if he has more liquor and he admits that it doesn't matter if it ins't tequila, any liquor can do. Doctor Middle is searching in the whole building trying to find some of the liquor that Alpha Purple Warrior hided on the infirmary.

after twenty minutes he finally found a bottle of Tequila, two of Vodka and one of Whiskey. the eyes of Organic Florist are bright with absolute happiness to see enough liquor to keep drinking until they forget their own existence. he didn't had anything to hide, it is just that he is so used to drinking liquor until he can't walk. that is the way he has always drink and he won't stop now after having that habit for so long.

Doctor Middle starts to cry feeling guilty and he starts to babble some none sense until he is unconscious. Organic Florist laughs and laughs and laughs again and then the silence in the room makes echo. he is quiet for a moment thinking about the acts of his past and the things he wishes to recover.

the Good Twin and the Psychotic Twin are walking outside of the cellar. they look at the dark sky the only thing that is prove that it has been half a day since their arrival. both twins are a bit scare after the horror they experienced at the hands of Choco-Coco-Latte, a man who isn't right of his head or wasn't at the moment. they didn't wanted to leave the cellar until it was clear that they wouldn't see him outside.

they are walking quietly and whispering in each other's ears. the Psychotic Twin choose to walk in front of her brother thinking that if an enemy attacks them. she can halt them giving time to her brother to escape. she thinks that everyone in this settlement is a maniac like the man that was torturing her.

Joaquin walks in front of them with two beers. he offers them a beer. the Psychotic Twin takes one beer and she warns Joaquin to never offer a beer to her brother. she drinks the beer thinking that it was poisoned. Joaquin smiles while he offers them an opportunity to live by joining his guild. the Good Twin thinks that is a trap so he asks Joaquin for a reason to believe him.

"because that is my word. my word is all that I have and the most important part of my person. as a man I can't go back on my word."

those words weren't enough for them to fully trust him. he takes his gun out and he takes the bullets out of the gun before throwing it on the ground. he puts back on his inventory every weapon that he had on him. the Good Twin receives a message from Master of Lies letting him know that it is okay to trust Joaquin (before talking with the twins Joaquin had a conversation with Federico who asked him to take care of the twins.)

on the other side of the settlement are Quick Kill-Man and Dr. Smith walking out of the town. they look at Master of Lies who was awaiting for them. Master of Lies explains that he is going to be the new leader of their guild. they had doubts about Master of Lies' skills and his loyalty.

"we can say that this guild is already doomed to be a fiasco. three of our members are prisoners. only four of us survived without being captured by the enemy but we have one thing in our favor. we can undo the guild and wait for our opportunity to return."

"yes that is a clever way to avoid punishment from Hades."

"that is why they say that a man's greatest advantage isn't his muscles but his brains."

[announcement: Guild of Fallen Heroes Skull Breaking Silence failed to capture settlement from Hero Guild Unit Zero.]

[announcement: Guild of Fallen Heroes Skull Breaking Silence has officially break up.]

[announcement: Guild of Fallen Heroes Wet Dreamers failed to either capture the settlement or killed the hostage from Hero Guild Morality&Justice.]

two miles away from the settlement are Self-Bet, Alpha Purple Warrior, Chicken Wrath, Peace Inn and Don-Savage walking back home with the hostage that they rescued on their final tasks from chapter 5. also Man with no Face is with them expecting to be prize for his good deed with dinner.

"man I am tired from all that running."

"shut up bro, you are always behaving like a princess. man up for once."

"this damn siblings and the rest of you are giving me a headache and then you blame me for screaming."

"do you know that in real life I work in a pet store? don't asked to a lady who has been living a simple life her whole life to out of nowhere become a video game heroine. you are lucky to know that I am excellent in games. if was't for my gaming experience."

"do you all know that you are all pathetic and if it wasn't for Man with no Face we all would be dead? I am not strong nor smart but I at least admit my mistakes."

inside of the settlement is Beau in the cafeteria lying on the floor with a soda on his hands. he is all covered on blood. he laughs as he thinks about how chaotic was this day. he puts his right hand on his face covering his eyes. he is starting to feel pain on his whole body after all he fought and ran a lot.

Beau is looking at the ceiling. his vision is starting to get fuzzy and he laughs harder as he thinks in how efficient was his effort to protect the settlement. now no one can doubt about his courage and his bravery. now there is no reason to doubt that he is good enough to be taken into account in further conversations in between the guild members. now no one would see him as a loser.

there are a few tears that are falling from his eyes. he is asking to himself what is the meaning behind those tears when he is feeling normal. he isn't swallowed by sorrow nor under a mountain of happiness, jet there are tears falling from his eyes with no explanation nor reason to be.

in the middle of the street. Choco-Coco-Latte sits on the ground and he looks at the stars thinking about his violent actions and the mistakes of his past. he calls for his dead lover. he calls for her feeling the need to see her or to hug her. he calls once more awaiting for a miracle to happen. it has been so long since the last time in which he felt so desperate without her but, is there anything out there worth living for without her?

Choco knows why he is in this virtual world being punish by some resentful Gods of the past. he feels like shit but there isn't a single tear on his face. he wishes to be able to cry like he used to on the past. there are many things that are not right, many things that are wrong, many things that he wishes to change, and then there is not a single thing that he can do about it.

far from there is Joaquin walking with the twins. they hear a strange sound coming from the infirmary. Joaquin opens the door and he looks at Doctor Middle on his underwear drinking with Organic Florist who is is trying to stop him from taking his underwear off. they invite him to drink with them. Joaquin closes the door and he pretends that he didn't saw anything.

the Good Twin asks him if he saw a ghost. Joaquin answers by telling him that he saw something worst two idiots beyond the meaning of being drunk. the Psychotic Twin asks him where are they going to sleep and Joaquin tells her that he is going to guide them to their new dormitories but he wants to make sure that they have a full stomach before sleeping.

the Good Twin asks about the type of food that they eat in here. he complains about the awful food that they were force to eat when they were part of the Fallen Hero guild. Joaquin asks them for the reason why they choose to be part of a Fallen Hero guild instead of a Hero one. the Good Twin tells him that the answer is simple. both sides are one and the same.

four miles away from the settlement is Master of Lies walking with the other three members of his guild that are left. he didn't saw this outcome coming. he was more than sure that only one or two of his former teammates would survived the attack, but to think that they didn't just survived but they also defeated his actual teammates.

behind Master of Lies is the Mad-Matician wearing a mask to cover the entire lower half of his face. Mad-Matician won't be able to properly talk (is true that they have a pharmacy in their inventory each but there are wounds that aren't easy to heal or that they leave permanent scars.)

behind Mad-Matician is Dr. Smith who is at the moment mourning (early when he ran towards the herd of zombies his baby AKA the flamethrower exploded and somehow he manage to survived said explosion) it was almost impossible to find that beauty but now that he loss it he is thinking about getting a new one.

behind Dr Smith is Quick Kill-Man. he saw when Choco blow up the brains of Strong Muscles and he also saw the corpses of the other two members that died that day. he can't believe that everyone in his guild seemed so strong. in special Sweet Linda who was a monster. with a sword she was a bloody monster but in the end that wasn't enough to protect her from dying.

Master of Lies informs his teammates that the only solution that they have left to not be left out of the game is to become part of one of the two guilds that made it to the next level. Western Legends is too risky so he propose to join the Happy Face Cult guild. even when the name is too silly they are the best option for the four of them and no one opposes his plan.

on the settlement. finally after all the walking Self-Bet and the rest of the team were finally back. they all run towards different parts of the settlement and they all were disappointed to see the whole place so trashed like if a war had taken place and in the settlement were left the scars of said war (which kind of happen.) Self-Bet goes to the cafeteria with Man with no Face at her side.

inside of the cafeteria they look at Beau drinking with Teacher Hero (he just came back after the whole battle was over) and Organic Florist (Doctor Middle fainted so he went in search for a new drinking pal) Beau takes a bottle of Vodka from the table and he drinks from it. Beau walks directly in front of Self-Bet and he kisses her with passion. she pushes him. she takes the bottle from his hand and in one hit she breaks it in his head. he falls unconscious.

"murderer, murderer, murderer, murderer, my boy was so young."

"he was so young, you brute woman."

those were the words of the other two idiots.

Man with no Face felt so awkward while he goes to the kitchen for his food and coffee. Self-Bet sighs thinking in the kiss and then she leaves. Teacher Hero and Organic Florist run towards Beau and they decided to do CPR on him and Organic Florist wasn't feeling too well (he throw up on top of Beau and Teacher Hero felt so much disgust that he also throw up on top of Beau.) Joaquin and the Twins were witnesses of the whole thing.
