Chapter Text
“Come on guys, I want to get out of here as soon as we can.” Time hugged himself in an attempt to keep himself warm, the other two tracers were a few steps behind him; Psych was busy opening an old treasure box and Arc typing something in one of his holograms.
“Another silver coin? Gez this guys didn’t know what a real treasure was” Psych kicked the box and pouted like a child.
“Well, wasn’t getting Moonstones from Glitter Necromancers enough? You said you really needed them.” Arc Answered without looking away from the hologram, saving the data he collected after they defeated the Wise Dutor.
“Well, it was.” The berserker drawled as he was catching up with the others. “But it’s always nice to get extra money selling ancient things to Allegro.” He ended with a smile and his arms behind his head. Time chuckled. “Well, extra chocolate bars don’t sound that bad after paying a visit to this underground chapel”
“You too Time?” the scientist glared at his partner in annoyance.
“What? Don’t tell me you don’t want chocolate bars. If not, that means more for Psych and me.” The time traveler laughed while the berserker fist-bumped him.
Arc rolled his eyes. “Anyway, my dynamos detected some unusual readings on the next room. We must be careful.” The scientist stepped into the room followed by the other tracers.
After entering the room, a huge creature floated from the floor; a purple cloak covered all its body except for the two floating hands at his sides, only it’s purple eyes could be seen under the cloak. Two glitter necromancers were by the sides of the creature.
“So this is the “Amethyst” thing Allegro was talking about? Heh, seems like this would be easy.” Arc aimed Panzer Buster. “After I shot Panzer Buster it’s your turn guys.”
Psych chuckled turning on his Nasod Armor. “Leave those necromancers to me”.
Time smiled and with a sign of his hand his dynamos aligned ready to aim a Neutron Bomb. “Ready whenever you are Arc”.
Arc nodded and Shoot Panzer Buster, followed by Time’s Neutron Bomb and Psych doing a quick job killing the necromancers. The scientist shot Psionic Generator to the creature but it disappeared on the ground evading the explosion.
“Tsk, not that easy to kill huh?” he mumbled in annoyance.
Both Time and Psych were attacking it from short distance while Arc attacked from large distance.
“Quake Buster!” The brawler shouted before kicking a sphere of energy his dynamos made to the ground, the energy released in a wave hit Amethyst who seemed like it got damage by it.
The creature teleported again but this time near the time traveler.
“Heh, you think you got me? Stardust Shower!” Time shouted before a rain of comets felt from the sky trough space cracks he opened. The creature moved his hands in what seemed like an attempt to cover itself.
“Time!”
Or that what was he thought before turning around.
“Time! Get out of there now!” Arc shouted from afar, Psych rushed on his dynamos to his direction. When he turned to face the creature he heard it mumble something…
“Soul drain”
Amethyst said before casting its spell, Time tried to ran away but it was in vain; A scream of pain escaped his lips before collapsing in the ground and feeling his whole body going numb.
“Time!” The berserker cried when he reached him, grabbing him to take him away from Amethyst. The tracer was unconscious on his arms.
“Arc!” Psych cried.
“I know! Panzer Buster!” The scientist shot Panzer Buster again to cover Psych who dashed carrying Time in his arms.
“He is unconscious; I could barely feel his heartbeat. This thing must pay for what he did to Time!” Psych gritted his teeth, frustration and anger could be read in his features. Arc feeling the same prepared Neutron Bomb while Psych laid the unconscious tracer near the scientist’s feet and turning to see Amethyst.
“Neutron Bomb!” Arc shouted, the explosion caused the dust to cover the Amethyst vision, when creature swung its hands in an attempt to clean his vision Psych was already standing behind him.
“This is for Time! Quake Buster!” Another wave of energy hit Amethyst as it cried in Pain.
“Oh? don’t forget about me ugly creature. Panzer Buster!” Arc’s Panzer Buster pierced the creature as it twisted on the ground in pain. After a few seconds it stopped moving.
“You think it’s dead?” The scientist asked as he kneeled to check Time; Just like Psych said the tracer’s pulse was weak and his body was becoming colder. He took off his jacket and put it top of Time’s body. A shiver run his spine due to the cold of the place.
“Dissolver!” Psych fired explosive energy shots to Amethyst to check if the creature was really dead. It didn’t move after receiving the attack. The berserker shrugged his shoulders. “It looks like it is.” He got closer to the other tracers.
“I'm worried about Time. his face even looks more pale.” He ruffled the time traveler’s hair.
“I can carry him on my back.” Psych kneeled to grab the unconscious tracer; Arc helped him to place the tracer on his back, putting his jacked around Time’s shoulders as his arms hung around Psych's shoulders, the berserker grabbed the time traveler’s legs.
"We must get out of here if we want Allegro to check him, He must know what happened with Time.”
With a nod the both of them made their way out of the chapel, hopping that their partner could be saved.
