  Talia snarled, and looked to the others. She had no idea where to go. Sure, now that she knew the cowboy was after them, she could take him down. But he was human, and he wouldn’t die.
  
  “Ugh! What on earth! Good lord, what does a girl need to do to get a break around here?” She asked, running a hand through her hair.

  “Perhaps a little time out.” A voice said behind Talia and the group. When they turned around, Talia and Rewby saw ErronBlack94 behind them, with more of his cronies behind him. “Dear lord, what’s gonna take to keep you down?!” The Freakazoid blindly asked in a whiny tone. However...
  

  Talia suddenly felt stronger, and better in general. She looked around to Rewby, and seemed slightly confused. “Did you feel that, or am I going crazy?”

  Rewby also felt that same feeling of greater strength and health. She turned to Talia with the same confused look. “Yeah, I felt that, too.” Rewby responds, also rather confused. Then, the announcement came.
  

  “All non-humans, do not worry. You will soon be able to log out. In 2 minutes, no penalty for death will happen. Talia...no mercy to the cowboy.”

  When the cowboy heard the announcement alongside Talia and Rewby, he instantly knew what Lux was referring to by “the cowboy” and shows the biggest ‘Oh crap!’ look on his face. “Aw, HELL no!” ErronBlack94 said angrily as he quickly prepares his revolvers.
  
• 
  Eventually, Morioka was able to find a first aid kit from one of the cabinets and, after opening it and grabbing a roll of bandage, began to approach Lux. However, the creative director was hesitant to assist Lux’s bleeding out of fear of interfering with Lux’s reversion of the hacks caused by T. Eorize.

 

[Meme Machine]

When Talia saw the cowboy, she groaned and rolled her eyes. “Seriously man, give up!! What is it going to take for you to leave us alone!” She yelled, frustration in her voice.

As she realized what the announcement entailed, and the realization that she had boosts, a smile overcame her features.

Talia cackled in a witchy way, and lunged at the cowboy. She was so quick, it seemed almost like a real reaction. She took out her staff, and swung at his head violently, ready to kill. “You have pissed me off at least four times now. I am not someone to make mad once, so what happens next is on you!”

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux took a knee from blood loss, but didn’t care. He finally managed to get rid of the death hack, so now no one will die irl. He then removed the logout hack with ease. He also fixed anything else that was glitchy in the game while he was at it, and made one final announcement.

“Attention everyone, the hacks have been removed. All non-humans, log out now until further notified by Nintendo or myself. Sorry I was too late for some of your friends.”

He typed the announcement, then promptly collapsed in a pool of his own blood.

 

[BoltBeam]

At that moment, over in reality, Kokoro had entered the room juuust in time to see her friend collapse. She gasped and ran over immediately, and thanks to the Ghost Cloth body she was using, she managed to catch him before he hit the ground, seeming relieved (and sighing as such). "Whew... Just in time." She said, spotting Bowe. "...Oh, so that's where she ran off to." She commented, to which Bowe just shrugged at her and stuck her tongue out like 'I have no idea what you're on about'.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He wasn’t entirely unconscious, and felt two small arms catch him. He felt the texture of the ghost cloth, and smiled slightly under his mask. He relaxed in her embrace, and weakly pointed to the wall, wanting her to bring him over there.

He felt himself going dark, but refused to.

On his device, he called his whole squad. “I am wounded. dont Die. And don’t worry about me.”

Once he sent that out, he tapped, “thank you” in Morse code on Kokoro’s arm, not expecting her to say anything because he thinks she doesn’t know Morse code.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro put Lux down where she was pointed to, seeming happy - though as expected not understanding the morse code, but she smiled anyhow. Bowe was growing impatient of just standing around on this useless T. Eorize's body like 'can I just get rid of them now' bored.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He grunted when she set him down, and tapped the floor to get Bowe's attention. He pulled his pad out of his cloak, and scribbled a message out. "Bowe, can you run and get Captain Susan? She needs to know we've taken the accountant of the Inferno Syndicate hostage." He shows her his pad, then pulls out a small needle and thin wire. He ignores Morioka for now, pulls up his shirt a little, with the skin not already cut open almost pure scar tissue, and starts giving himself a minor surgery.

 

[BoltBeam]

Bowe looked to him and sighed. "You told me to keep 'this' under check..." She said, pointing to the still alive body she's standing on. "Make your mind up..." She added, fully prepared to rev the blade if she would need to - in order to kill order A and attend to order B.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

“Kokoro, can you instead watch T. Eorize? Explode her throat if she tries to escape.” He writes with one hand, again ignoring Morioka, and resuming his surgery.

 

[BoltBeam]

"Done." Kokoro said simply, allowing Bowe to attend to and find and guide Susan to the main room and Kokoro is now the one in charge of T. Eorize's fate, an explosion already ready to go in the palm of her hand.

She took out her staff, and swung at his head violently, ready to kill. “You have pissed me off at least four times now. I am not someone to make mad once, so what happens next is on you!”

  During that, Rewby and her allies quickly assault the rest of ErronBlack94’s cronies. The cowboy then proceeded to kick Talia away from him and attempted once again to shoot her. However, Rewby quickly got involved and proceeded to punch him enough times to knock him unconscious. Then...
  

  “Attention everyone, the hacks have been removed. All non-humans, log out now until further notified by Nintendo or myself. Sorry I was too late for some of your friends.”

  After she and Talia heard the announcement, Rewby turns her head to Talia. “So, this is goodbye, for now, eh?” She asked, as Talia’s allies began to log out of the game as quick as lightning.

  As Kokoro supervises T. Eorize, explosion already in hand, the terrorist began to grin, though its more of a awkward smile than a malicious one. “Eh, heh, hey, buddy. Why you all pinning the blame on me? I-I was just following orders!” T. Eorize said to Kokoro in a shaky tone, trying to reason her way out of certain death. Meanwhile, Morioka was still by Lux’s side, stilling holding onto the roll of bandages and the first aid kit. “Is-Is there any way I can help, sir? I-I understand if you don’t need it, but...” Morioka said to Lux, still wanting to help him in any way, despite her hesitance.
  

//BTW, T. Eorize is not an accountant; she is a technician and hacker. Dollar Bill is the accountant.

Why you all pinning the blame on me? I-I was just following orders!” T. Eorize said to Kokoro in a shaky tone, trying to reason her way out of certain death.

Kokoro sneered. "You had a choice or not whether to follow those orders." She said coldly. "And thanks to 'you', the world is now a few aliens lighter... I think you've done 'enough' damage and you'll get whatever is coming your way soon, and never get anything else." She added in a more softer tone, a calmer one - but that only makes it more and more threatening, as she does indeed hint at death by explosion.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia smiled at her friend, and grabbed her staff. Without hesitation, or looking his way, she impaled him in the head, crushing his skull mercilessly.

“Yeah, I guess it is. Don’t log back on until you get a notification that the hacking has been cleared up, or you know, just not at all.” She joked, shrugging slightly. She knew for a fact it would be very hard to get her back on this game. “See you on the other side?”

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

(Warning, disgusting)
He grunted, and coughed up more blood. He got about halfway through before Morioka could see he held in part of his intestines.

He grabbed some rubbing alcohol, and rubbed it on the stitches already in him that he gave himself, only grunting. He pushed his intestines back in more, and quickly finished his stitches. His scarred hands very bloody, he let his hands fall to his sides.

“Bandage...waist...” he managed to get out to Morioka, barely alive/conscious.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

//Nah, I’m fine with a little squick. After all, I play Mortal Kombat.

  Rewby nods in acknowledgment and quickly gets her menu up and hover her finger over the ‘log out’ option. During which, a memory quickly bubbled into her mind and, when Talia said her goodbye, Rewby responds with “Have your forgotten your Lunarim words?”, with a smug grin. Before Talia can respond, Rewby waved her other hand and said “Katyan Evlvos.”, before pressing on the ‘log out’ option and disappearing.

  “Bandage...waist...” he managed to get out to Morioka, barely alive/conscious.

  Morioka quickly acted when Lux requested that and began to wrap up Lux’s wound with haste, not wanting her savior to die on her. Just then, Captain Susan enters the room, with the First Human Army right behind the door. “Did anyone request my aid-” Susan tried to ask until she saw both the wounded Lux with Morioka on his side and Kokoro keeping T. Eorize hostage. Instantly recognizing that T. Eorize might be a higher up in the Inferno Syndicate forces, she turns to one of her First Human Army soldiers and point to T. Eorize. “Arrest this woman immediately.” Susan ordered, still wearing the aforementioned voice-altering helmet, before approaching Lux himself. While the soldier begins to approach T. Eorize with a pair of handcuffs, Susan was kneeling to Lux’s level, noticing the fairly recent bandage wrap that Morioka installed into Lux’s chainsaw wound. She then gets up and turns to Morioka. “What happened to Lux before his treatment?” Susan asked to Morioka. “I-I-I don’t know! When h-he came in to fix up this mess, he had a large cut on his side! It- It was probably one of T. Eorize’s accomplices; a cyborg welding a chainsaw for a hand. Saw Fist, I think?” Morioka hastily answered back, trying to get as much detail from the memory as possible.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He grabbed the pad, and wrote, “Saw opened gut. Minor bleeding.” He dropped the pad in pain, his quiet breathing now audible and labored. He may have said minor bleeding, but the massive puddle around him said otherwise. He may not actually survive unless intervention is immediate.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia was about to press the log out button herself, before Rewby said something that stopped her. Katyan Evlvos. She smiled widely, and waved.

“Katyan Evlvos.” She said, as she watched Rewby log out. She pressed the button herself, and closed her eyes.

 

[BoltBeam]

"Bowe knows..." She said to Susan nervously, pointing to the dead body of Saw Fist. "Saw sliced at us... Lux got hit and bloodied up... Saw is dead now, though..." She said, sounding concerned and nervous at the same time. Concerned for Lux's living chances - dude doesn't look too good - and nervous about the fact, you know, she ran off from the group she was supposed to be in without orders or notifying? Kokoro sighed. "Though... if you 'didn't' follow him and stray from the group, I guess he 'would' have probably died..." Kokoro said. "...with no support, Saw Fist would have been a tougher customer..."

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He grunted loudly, holding his gut that is barely holding in his organs. He lifted his head a little, and barely got out, “I need...better...medical...tools...” he says, intending to do a better surgery on himself, not wanting any doctors.

But he is hardly in a position to, since he just went unconscious from blood loss.

  “Katyan Evlvos.” She said, as she watched Rewby log out. She pressed the button herself, and closed her eyes.

  Then, Talia wakes up laying on a bed of the medical bay. Talia sees Doctor Hamele and a random physician making causal chat with each other, while another doctor was right by Talia’s body, IV fluid needle in hand. The doctor in question stood back in surprise. “Oh! You’re back.” The doctor said, clearly surprised that she managed to survive the death VR.

"...with no support, Saw Fist would have been a tougher customer..."

  Both Susan and Morioka saw Saw Fist’s mutilated corpse. While Susan’s reaction was unknown to the group, since she’s wearing a mask, Morioka clearly looked shocked. “Ohhh, yeah, that guy is definitely dead.” Morioka said, trying to say it as nonchalantly as possible, even though she might eventually suffer from PTSD. Meanwhile, the aforementioned soldier holding a pair of handcuffs approached Kokoro. “Madam, I would like for you to hand over T. Eorize to me.” The soldier politely ordered Kokoro.

But he is hardly in a position to, since he just went unconscious from blood loss.

  Susan heard what Lux request and, though didn’t physically reacted at the least, was internally rolling her eyes. He needs better medical instruments? Lux needs to be treated by proper physicians. However, when Lux fell unconscious, Susan immediately kneeled to Lux’s level, rolled up his sleeve a little bit and placed her fingers on his wrist, checking for a pulse. Thankfully, there is one, but it’s rather weak and very slowly dissipating. Susan then quickly grabbed Lux’s unconscious body and gave it to another one of her soldiers. “Lux seeks medical attention. Bring his body back to the shuttle and keep his health in check until we can give him proper treatment back at the flagship. Make sure he doesn’t die.” Susan ordered to the soldier in question. “Yes, Captain.” The soldier responds before leaving the room to take his body back to the shuttle.

• “Madam, I would like for you to hand over T. Eorize to me.”

  Kokoro nodded. "You may have them." She said calmly, not minding and just stepping away and pushing T. Eorize to the soldier holding the handcuffs. Bowe just watched the scene unfold through her eyes, seeming unsure of what to do next. One would imagine this does take a toll on a kid like her - exposition to such death and violence. It doesn't seem it, surprisingly, so what's going on here...?
• Hamele spots Talia waking up, seeming pretty startled herself. "Welcome back." She said calmly, her staff in both hands as a 'just in case', a confident and cheerful looking smile on her face. She was worried, though trying darn well not to show it, and is just happy to welcome Talia out of VR and back into the real world, relieved she is not dead - no less thankful she survived.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia growled, and grabbed at the IV. She hated IV’s. Bad memories. She carefully and expertly pulled it out, clearly knowing how to do it. She looked around, squinting her eyes from the light.

“Of course I’m back. Your suprised? I’ve loved this long with the prospect of dying, it’s nothing new.” She said deadpan. Which was half true. She was surprised that she survived, but at the same time understood.
