The End Of The Line

"Let's go."

"Right!"

16 minutes was all they had, and they didn't intend to waste it. They couldn't afford to take any breaks. 

Their feet was killing them, but they knew true death would come if they thought of such meaningless pain

"It's so close!" Shugo exclaimed.

What a huge structure. 

From where they ran, they got a good glimpse of the tower's majesty. 

16 minutes left…

In their final moments, they ran through a forest trail bombarded with Centipedes that were knee-height tall. 

Goddammit!

They used 8 whole minutes of their precious time kicking, punching, dodging, and rushing towards the tower. 

"Die, Bastards!"

"For Pete's sake, who the hell has time for this? Let go of this chubby daddy now!"

"DIE!" 

"DIE!"

"DIE!"

Shugo did all the cursing, desperation evident on his face.
