Right This Way, Traveler Thurston (4)

For some time, the sounds of a single pistol being rapidly fired and reloaded, accompanied by several explosions, took over the massive Gymnasium; however, not a single person seemed to be reacting.

Of Course, the constant yelling and back-and-forth bickering between Staff Sergeant Lewis and Principal Gavver could also be heard as they spat every curse in the book at each other, but even if their battle was heated, not a single person moved to interject.

Not because they had a choice, but instead because it was a losing battle; they were both far beyond the capabilities of mere foot soldiers such as themselves, and even the Academy Staff were left scratching their heads.

Meanwhile, Aoni stood in place, looking at the ground, wondering if it was a better idea to turn around and jump back into the Flume or stay put and accept his fate.
